Ka-boom Some lucky Charleston, West Virginia, citizen will get a chance to blow up a 1,000 ton bridge. The town's newspaper, the Daily Mail, is offering read- ers a chance to push the detonator setting off 80 charges which will cause the obsolete 700-foot Kan- awaha Bridge to tumble into the river below. Al- though the newspaper has asked contestants to ex- plain why they want to blow up the bridge, the answers won't be used to decide the winner, who will be picked at random by the mayor. "We just want to know," the newspaper said in making the request. Better than Raid Another 2.5 million sterile fruit flies were moving across the western part of Los Angeles, looking for mates. The sterile flies are part of a plan to wipe out the pesty Mediterranean flies in the area. The sterile little beasts will mate with them - produc- ing sterile eggs and thereby eliminating the Medi- terranean variety in four to six months. "We are pleased with the way things are going," said one expert involved with the project. Earlier four mil- lion sterile flies died when they were mistakenly placed in a trailer containing insecticide fumes {before their scheduled release. N.H. miffed New Hampshire residents were quite upset yes- terday after President Ford's press secretary cri- ticized the skiing conditions in the tourist-oriented state. "It could be a big ouch for Ford next spring," said one source in the state's ski industry, which is really big business up there. New Hamp- shire holds the first presidential primary in the nation and Ford may face a tough challenge there from conservative ex-movie star Republican Ron- ald Reagan. Press Secretary Ron Nessen said last weekend that New Hampshire often has icy and uncertain skiing conditions compared to Vail, Colo- rado, where the president usually does his thing. One deputy press secretary tried to soften the blow by saying the remark didn't reflect Ford's own feelings. Guess every vote counts. Strange note A repentant Nazi S.S. officer who fled to South America at the end of World War II has left every- thing in his will to Israeli charity organizations, ac- cording to a Jewish Newspaper in Dusseldorf, West Germany. The newspaper said that former Cap- tain Werner Sellman, who died recently in Buenos Aires, explained that he wanted to atone for "the suffering that I and people like me caused the Jews in the years from 1933 to 1945." But it was still uncertain whether the charities would accept Sellmann's "very considerable" bequest. The exact amount involved and the charities named in the will were not mentioned in the newspaper account. On, the inside .. . Editorial Page features Beverly Harris's story on women's sports..t.

Ouits ide . content survey By JAY LEVIN The majority of Americans are generally satisfied with their lives, according to the results of an extensive quality of life survey released yesterday by the University's Institute for Social Re- search (ISR). ISR Director Angus Campbell outlined the survey's outcome to a gathering of science writers at the Marriott Inn. DESPITE the general contentment, when psychological indi- cators are taken into consideration, Campbell said, differences arise as to how people of different races, regions and community sizes vew their lives. Those surveyed were questioned about their satisfactions, feel- ings, expressions of resentment and stress factors. Campbell said the study's use of these procedures reveals something different than the reliance on social, economic, and abjective indicators in other surveys. THE INSTITUTE'S random sampling of over 2000 Americans began in 1971 throughout the 48 continental states and shows that people in the southern tier of the nation and in rural regions are more apt to be satisfied with their lives as a whole than people outside the south and in more urbanized areas. "The rural areas, as philosophers have told us for centuries IRS releases are the most satisfying, pleasant and least stressful places to live," said Campbell. He explained that, in part, city dwellers have higher aspira- tions and are subject to more newspapers, television and other stimulating media. As a result, they fail to meet their expectations while rural folk are "notias knowledgable" and are more likely to be satisfied with their lives. THE SAME rationale, according to Campbell, holds true when discussing why, as the survey found, southern blacks are more happy with their lives than blacks outside the south. Northern blacks, for example, are more susceptible to mili- tant propaganda whereas blacks in the more rural south escape the "fervent of influence" and are, consequently, less aware. Campbell said "there is a balancing effect between income and satisfaction." He said that poorly incomed people are less satisfied with their lives, but being generally less educated, enter- tain lower aspirations than people of higher income. 1971 HOWEVER, Black people with high incomes, he said, are apt to be more dissatisfied than white people of the same income because "you can't take away the discriminatory aspects." For the most part, Campbell said, "people come to feel their lives are satisfying, even those whose circumstances are terrible. They set standards through their own experiences and live with their lives in a way that is satisfying for them." CAMPBELL said there might be differences in satisfaction with standard of living if the survey was taken in these economi- cally troubled times rather than in 1971. He said a similar survey will be conducted next year. The study, supported by a grant from the Russel-Sage Founda- tion, was supervised by Campbell, ISR program director Philip Converse and senior study director Willard Rodgers. The survey was based on material reported in the trio's book, Quality of American Life, which is due for release next month. Ore ship goes down 111 Ford, Senate criticize Zionism UN vote By Reuter and UPI WASHINGTON - President Ford and the U. S. Senate yester- day led an angry negative reaction by western governments to the United Nations resolution on Monday condemning Zionism as a form of racism. Ford deplored the resolution, and the Senate quickly passed a resolution urging a review of future American participation in the assembly. SENATE REPUBLICAN leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania said the United States could no longer tolerate attempts at the United Nations "to destroy other nations." The House did not immediately take up the matter, but anger may surface there when it begins its review of proposed American contributions for U. N. agencies in the next few weeks. President attacks Congress on energy CHARLESTON, W. Va. (MP) - President Ford said last night that "a shortage of determina- tion in the Congress" has left U. S. energy independence ef- forts at a standstill, and de- manded responsible legislation now, not after the 1976 elections. Congress is at work on a ma- jor energy bill, with Democratic leaders hoping to send it to the White House before current oil price controls expire Saturday. BUT FORD has said he might veto the measure if he finds it would increase demand for im- ported oil. The President talked .n more general terms as he rebuked Congress on the energy issue. His speech was prepared for a $100-a-plate GOP dinner, and he also was appearing at a $1,000-a-ticket reception, both for the West Virginia Republican party. FORD SAID that contrary to "forecasts of fear," the nation's See FORD, Page 2 The Palestine Liberation Or- ganization, however, s a i d through a spokesperson in Da- mascus, Syria that the vote showed "the wide support and understanding by the interna- tional community of the de- mands of our people. THE STATEMENT added that American opposition to the re- solution showed "the American policy as being hostile to the Arab nation and the Palestine cause." Jewish leaders bitterly de- cried the vote as representing anti-Semitism. The President of the World Jewish Congress, Dr. Naham Goldmann, said in Paris the resolution "is one of the worst and most immoral deci- sions which, unfortunately, the U. N. has indulged in in the last few years." The current President of the General Assembly, Premier Gaston Thorn of Luxembourg, said the resolution would pro- dice "evil consequences." In a statement seen by some observ- ers as unprecedented for an as- sembly head, Thorn said extre- mists had stupidly jeopardized rannrochement and conciliation. IN BONN, a spokesperson said West Germany "deeply regret- ted" the vote, and an official of the governing Social Democratic Party said it was "an insult to all those who fought against the dreadful aberration of anti- Semitism" under the Nazis. Swedish Premier Olof Palme, speaking at the U. N. yesterday, referred to "unfortunate and un- See FORD, Page 8 torm Hl Hig seas puli in Edmund Fitzgerald IAuthorities find no bodies SAULT STE. MARIE (UPI) - Coast Guard au- thorities s a i d yesterday they fear there were no sur- vivors among 29 crewper- sons who went down in icy Lake Superior with the 729- f o o t ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald during a raging storm. "The probabilities are low that there are survivors" one Coast Garda rd officer said. OFFICIALS in S a u t Ste. Marie said some wreckage was washing ashore, including emp- ty life jackets. But they said no survivors .and no bodies had been sighted. Aircraft and ships neverthe- less continued crisscrossing hun- dreds of miles of the huge lake, the world's second largest body of fresh water, looking for any crewpersons who may have sur- vived when their ship sank Monday night. THE DISASTER shaped up as the worst for Great Lakes ship- ping in 17 years. In Washington, U.S. Rep. Philip Ruppe (R-Mich.) called for an inquiry into the loss of the ship once called the mon- arch ofthe Great Lakes and, at 13,600 tons, the second largest ship ever lost in Superior. Coast Guard officials said ships had spotted oil bubbles at a point about 60 miles n o r t h- west of Sault Ste. Marie, where the "Fitz" was last sighted bat- tling in 25-foot high waves and 80 miles an hour winds. EARLIER, officials gave up hope that the ship made it. "She went down, I don't think there's any doubt about that now," said Coast Guard Capt. Charles Radt. The ship, a 17-year-old freigh- See STORM, Page 8 Daily Photo b\ PAUL INE LUBENS A RED SMOKE FLARE floats over the protestors at yesterday's anti-CIA rally while former military intelligence employe Gary Thomas addresses the crowd.

NOON RALLY FILLS DIAG: 500 protest By DAVID GARFINKEL A noon rally drew over 500 persons to the Diag yesterday to protest the CIA, National Se- curity Agency (NSA), Senate billl S-1 and police surveillence of civilians. Hailed by its organizers as "the first visible sign of a new student movement," the demon- stration was designed to coin- cide with the CIA's campus re- cruitment scheduled to begin yesterday. The CIA cancelled, but the protest was held as plan- ned. ATTEMPTS by several per- sistent hecklers to disrupt the demonstration failed to fluster the five speakers or antagonize the largely receptive crowd dur- ing the hour-long rally. Opening the event, rally spokeswoman Collen Chavin said, "We've noticed that there are men in suits tearing o u r posters down." She reported that applications for the CIA have risen 200 per cent over the last two months CIA, and accused the agency of ex- ploiting the naton's high unem- ployment rate by taking advan- tage of the jobless public. "WE DON'T want to have anything to do with them" she said, drawing applause from the crowd. Chavin was followed by Gary Thomas, a former employe of the U.S. military intelligence in Germany and Vietnam, who said of his previous work, "It was the grosest exploitation of people I've ever seen."
