Although a White House press secretary said that the emphasis of the meeting was on the President's program for the next two years there was no denial that there will be an attempt to change the President's image for the 1972 elections, with emphasis on strength- ening economic trouble spots rather than retaining the law and order theme. Among those involved in the consultations were Attorney Gen- eral John Mitchell and counsellors Robert H. Finch and Bryce Harlow. FORMER SOVIET PRESIDENT Nikita Kruschev has suffer- ed another of his recurring heart set-backs and is undergoing treatment at his Dacha outside Moscow, according to unofficial sources. Reports describe the ailment as cardiac deficiency and say that Kruschev's doctors had urged hospitalization, but the former Rus- sian strongman declined, saying that he preferred to spend the an- niversary of the revolution with his family.

Jacques Rose, who made the telephone call, was told that La- porte had just stepped out, Lortie said, and when the four arrived they found Laporte crossing the street in front of his home to pick up a football. Police have said Laporte w a s playing football with relatives in his yard when he, was abducted Study shows pornography lowers, crime COPENHAGEN, Denmark (VP) - A common and abhorred sex crime -- child molesting - decreased sharply in frequency after porno- graphy was legalized in Denmark, a Danish scientist reported today. In a 200-page study originally made for the U.S. Presidential Commission on obscenity and pornography, whose findings were denounced by the U.S. Senate and the Nixon administration, crim- inologist-psychologist Berl Kut- chinsky concluded that the theory that pornography may prevent certain types of sexual crimes should be "seriously re-examined." Combining police statistics and interviews with 400 Copenhagen men and women, Kutchinsky found that the decrease in such sexual offenses as peeping and physical interference with children short of rape c o uld not be explained by c h a n g e d sexual mores or more liberal attitudes to these crimes by the public - and cerdtainly not by police. The most likely explanation, Kutchinsky concluded, is porno- graphy. On the other hand, he found that changes of attitudes could in fact easily account for a sharp drop in the number of re- ported cases of exhibitionism and physical interference with women also short of rape. Kutchinsky's study was a cen- tral theme in the U.S. commis- sion's recommendations last month that pornography for adults be legalized in America. Kutchinsky's study showed the downward trend in sex crime rates in Copenhagen became clear in the first part of the 1960s, took a dive at the middle of the de- cade, when the first wave of por- nography, then illegal, hit Den- mark. Further drops came in 1968 and 1969 when first written, then pictorial, pornography were legal- ized. FIRST IN ALABAMA Black legislators elected SPECIALS Mondays 2 Mr. Hams for $100 I I TUSKEGEE, Ala. (P)-The election of two black legislators in Alabama may be a break- through, says one of the winners, Fred Gray, but the legislature must be reapportioned to open the door to others. Gray, a Tuskegee attorney and a close asso- ciate of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., won a seat in the traditionally all-white House in Tuesday's election along with fellow townsman Thomas Reed, state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They are the first blacks elected to be the legislature in Alabama since Reconstruction days. "I think it's the beginning of people deciding to consider qualifications and not race," Gray said in an interview. But, he added, "I don't mean to say it's a panacea. "We need to seriously consider reapportion- ment because it simply doesn't make sense for a third of the population not to have substantially a third of the representation in the legislature." The legislature was reapportioned in 1954 under a federal court order, but the same difficult task lies ahead next year on the basis of the 1970 census. The court still has jurisdiction and may well draw up its own one-man, one-vote formula if the House and Senate fail to act. A separate suit has been filed to require the election of legislators by districts in populous Jefferson-Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery counties. But more than that is needed, says Gray. He contends too much of the rest of the state is divided into legislative districts where white voters have a substantial majority. During his campaign, Gray appealed to white as well as black voters in a district composed of Barbour, Bullock and Macon counties. Barbour is Gov.-elect George C. Wallace's home county. And, says the victorious black candidate, "I think I received a substantial amount of white support in all three counties." "All too often it is the corporate taxpayer who is not carrying a proper share of the tax load. In example after example, we have seen situations in which corporate taxpayers have used their econo- mic influence to obtain favorable tax treatment." A law school group in Texas reported on timber land assess- ment procedures in East Texas! several days before Texas voters! c o n a i d e r e d a constitutional amendment which critics said would result in lower property taxes on such land. The Texas researchers found timber land was paying as little as one-fifth the amount of taxes it should have paid based on market value in comparison to other properties. "Employing faulty and illegal assessing practices year after, year has cost East Texas untold mil- lions in potential tax revenues," the report found. Voters turned down the con- stitutional amendment Tuesday by a 5-to-4 ratio. Bernard Lortie Tuesdays 1 Mr. Beefs for $120 Lortie said the abductors were armed with Ml automatic rifles. Three such rifles were introduced into evidence at the inquest. "Jacques got out with the Ml and pushed Laporte into the car," Lortie said. They drove to a house in su- burban St. Hubert, Lortie said. It was in that house that police say Laporte was strangled Oct. 17. from his home in suburban St. Lambert. r "ow Open Mon.-Tues.-Wed.-Sat. 9:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.
