JACK NICHOLSON, in
FIVE EASY PIECES
A brilliant character study of a musician with
great promise who gives up a career to work
on an oil rig. A true film of the '70's with Nich-
olson never better as the frustrated and lost
musician. The restaurant scene is already a
classic. With Karen Black and Sally Struthers.

statement by the Rev. Jesse
Jackson, national chairman of
project PUSH, that Carter's
nomination of Bell was "mor-
ally inconsistent" with the can-
didate's campaign promises.
Among the generally liberal
senators voting to approve Bell
were Edward Kennedy (D-
Mass.), Birch Bayh (D-Ind.),
and James Abouresk (D-S.D.).
Kennedy said he was "very
much troubled" by the nomi-
nation of Bell, who he said has
"at best, a mixed record in the
area of civil rights."
THE WITNESSES before the
committee yesterday, almost
all of them black, ranged in
their criticism of Bell from
soft - spoken disappointment,
to strident charges of racism.
The Rev. Muhammad Ken-
yatta said confirmation of Bell
by the Senate would be, in ef-
fect. "a battle cry of attack on
black America," and that en-
trusting him with control of the
FBI was comparable to giving
a child an atomic bomb.
"It will be a clarion call to
black Americans to raise some
hell," Kenyatta said, "as a
last alternative."
J A C K S O N said of Carter
that "it is morally inconsistent
to promise us the best and to'
give us Griffin Bell," and
charged the president - elect
with cronyism.
"Griffin Bell, like another fa-
mous bell in this country, has
a crack in him and does not
ring true," he said. "We can
never trust him. This man is
not the best our nation has to
offer."
Bell, 58, was in Atlanta and
did not attend yesterday's hear-
Ine. He has been criticized
primarily for his Fifth Circuit
Court opinions which delayed
racial desegregation in Georgia
and Texas.
HOUS ON (AP) - The doc-,
tor who performed the autop-
sy on Howard Hughes says the.
late millionaire recluse weigh-
ed only 90 to 95 pounds and
had cancer, a peptic ulcer and
kidney disease.
Testimony by Dr. Jack Titus,
a pathologist at Baylor College
of Medicine, was filed yester-
day by deposition with Harris
County Probate Judge Pat Greg-
ory.
A DEPOSITION from Dr. Os-
car Maldonado, an oral surgeon
at Methodist Hospital, said
Hughes had pyorrhea and that
the upper front teeth were com-
pletely destroyed by decay.
The autopsy was performed
by Titus and the pathology staff
at Methodist Hospital on April
6, the day after Hughes died
while being flown from Acapul-
co, Mexico, to Houston for med-
ical treatment. At that time it
was announced only that Hugh-
es died of chronic renal or
kidney disease.
Methodist hospital officials de-
livered the autopsy report to
Gregory in July. Gregory au-
thorized lawyers in the estate
case to see portions of the re-
port but has never released the
document publicly.
GREGORY HAS handled the
Texas phase in probate matters
since April 14, when he appoint-
ed two Hughes relatives, Wil-
liam Lummis, a cousin, and An-
nette Gano Lummis, an aunt,
as temporary administrators of
the estate. On Monday, Gregory
scheduled a Sept. 12 trial for
the determination of Hughes'

Titus said he believes Hughes
suffered from kidney disease for
at least 10 years. The deposi-
tion said the left kidney weighed
90 grams and the right 110, com-
pared with a normal weight of
150 to 200 grams.
Titus said in addition to a
peptic ulcer, Hughes was un-
dernourished, had cancer of the
scalp, a "tiny focus of can-
cer" in the prostrate gland, scar
tissue blocking the urinary
tract, and uremic poisoning.
THE PATHOLOGIST said doc-
tors who accompanied Hughes
to Houston told him the billion-
aire recluse had eaten little in
two or three days and was con-
fused during the last 24 hours
of his life.
Titus said that, to him,, this
would mean Hughes might not
have been sure where he was
or able to identify people around
him. When asked if there was
anything in the report to indi-
cate Hughes suffered from hal-
lucinations, Titus said it was
impossible to tell.
Maldonado said the teeth were
in as "poor shape as any I
have seen since I was in train-
ing 15 to 18 years ago."
TITUS SAID the personal phy-
sicians told him Hughes was an
extremely difficult patient and
refused to see a dentist, refused
Hughes
to submit to medical examina-
tion or tests and often embark-
ed on erratic dieting, refusing
to drink fluids or eat much of
anything for periods of time.
The doctors also were quoted
as saying Hughes, on April 4,
seemed to go into shock.
Titus said the drug that caused
the kidney failure was phenace-
tin, an analgesic Hughes be-
gan taking after being injured
in a 1946 plane crash. He said
the personal physicians told him
Hughes was persuaded to stop
taking the drug in 1972.

Observers believed the trou-

doing anything more active than
going to sleep are driving a car.
Speeding and weaving their way

Before any of your friends
drive home from your party, make
sure they aren't drunk.
Don't be fooled because they
drank only beer or wine. Beer and

mixed drinks.
If someone gets too drunk to

feeling so good on the morning after,
but you're going to feel terrific.
