Kissy face Paul Trevillion and Sadie Nine claim to have kept their world kissing record in Seaford, Eng- land after the last of their challengers were dis- qualified for cuddling. "They got too passionate," said Paul, 29, who with 19-year-old Sadie claimed a world record for kissing 25,000 times in two hours in Cleveland last May. The smooching duo, both British professional entertainers, put their re- cord on the line, but only three couples got as far as 6,000 kisses. "One ma retired after 22 minutes with a stiff neck, the next passed out after 28 minutes, and the runners-up lasted 35 minutes and 6,702 kisses and then got carried away," said club owner Roger Lewendon. Sadie and Paul claimed they kissed over 7,000 times in four min- utes and will be in New York in June to wel- come-any new challengers. But they don't think they can be beaten. "We can now kiss 300 times a minute." Paul claimed. All power to him. Press note A congressman who is a former broadcast com- mentator says he is going to move to cite CBS Correspondent Daniel Schorr for contempt of Con- gress for releasing a secret House intelligence committee report. Rep. Samuel Strattan (D-N.Y.) said Saturday that he will act today after Con- gress returns from a holiday recess. "This is not a case of freedom of the press. It is one thing for Mr. Schorr to comment on the committee report on his own news program. That action is apparent- ly protected by the latest Supreme Court deci- sions," Stratton said. "It is quite another thing for him to pass along the complete text of that report to someone else for publication in clear de- fiance of the mandate of the House of Representa- tives." Schorr confirmed his role in the publica- tion of the secret report in the New York week- ly, The Village Voice, and said that it was his duty as a reporter to arrange the publication. He said he acted when he learned he might be the only person outside the government with a copy of the report. If cited for contempt and convicted in court, Schorr faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The stork Where do babies come from? Would you be- lieve "from God's place," a "baby store" or even "a duck?" Those were some of the answers glean- ed from 60 youngsters by clinical psychologist Anne Bernstein who says those cute analogies dreamed up by parents to satisfy inquisitive chil- dren have only confused them about where peo- ple really come from. In her doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Bernstein tried to find out exactly what children, aged 3 to 12, know about babies. Her findings, published recently in Psychology Today, show that most children have a vague and incorrect understanding of renroduc- tion, most often mixed with ideas that babies are "just made" or come from animals. She blamed parents and their "birds and bees" annroach. "As a result," she said, "rarental description of sex and birth often sound like morning roll-call on Noah's ark." 0 On the inside... . . .

U.N . rouprep ots " e oii tortu re in C11 e GENEVA (Reuter) -- A United Nations working group said yesterday torture is being widely used by the present government in Chile. Recounting tales of alleged mistreatment of prisoners in Chile, the group described interrogation methods characterized by extreme ruthlessness ranging from cold methodical application of torture to "frequent manifestations of barbaric sadism by in- dividual operators." IN A 103-page retort to the U. N. Human Rights Commission, the group said a Chilean known as Oswaldo Romo should be brought to trial for crimes ag'ainst humanity. The man, also known as "Guaton" or "The Fat Stomach" was the master torturer of Chile whose name evoked terror and memories of torture in thous- ands of Chileans, the report said.

Twenty thousand police have been assigned to pro- tect him - and some of them battled for three hours with hundreds of students demonstrating against Kissinger's trip in front of the Caracas Uni- versity City. POLICE used tear gas to break up the demonstration as students hurled rocks at them. The Secretary of State will meet with leaders of Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatamala during the nine-day trip and is expected to pursue the divisive Cuba and Panama canal issues quietly and with no public pronounce- ments. A senior official on Kissing- er's plane said enroute to Venezuela that the secretary has made Latin American re- lations a prime policy objective since his first month in office. K I S S I N G E R had been planning the tour since late 1974, but it was repeatedly de- layed because of developments in the Middle East, the com- munist victory in Vietnam and a congressional restriction on trade with Venezuela and Ecu- ador. THE TRADE restriction is ex- pected to be the focus of Kis- singer's two day conference with Perez. The problem arose in 1974 when Congress denied preferences to all members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which was an outgrowth of the 1973 Arab oil boycott. Kissinger will tell Venezuelan leaders he will try hard upon his return to remove the re- striction, the senior official said, but added he couldn't give any odds on the chances of success. Kissinger hopes to reassure Latin - American nations of their importance to Washington and build a better image for the United States. Much of the Southern Hemisphere has be- come increasingly skeptical of the United States- in recent years. Hearst jurors take tour of alleged scenes of captivhy From Wire Service Reports Patricia Hearst yesterday led the jury in her bank robbery trial on a tour of the hideouts where she was allegedly held in closets following her kidnapping by the SLA two years ago. The entourage of defendant, judge and jury arrived first at the apartment building on Gold- en Gate Avenue where the news- paper heiress says she was im- prisoned in a cell-like closet and forced to take part in a bank robbery. SEVENTEEN federal mar- shals-on hand along with city police-had to force a way for her to the building through a pushing, shouting crowd of 150 .photographers, television cam- era crews and reporters. It was the first stop on the rainy-day tour that also was to include the house in suburban Daly City where Hearst was allegedly first taken after being AMERICAN sources said the secretary is expected to explain that any foreseeable improve- ments in U.S. - Cuba relations was destroyed by Cuban inter- vention in Angola.

At 1837 Golden State Ave., the jury of seven women and five men were shown Apt. 6, a third- floor studio that has been o- cupied by two tenants since the SLA left but which is empty now. IT WAS there, Hearst said, that she was removed from a dark 19 inch by five foot closet only long enough to be briefed on SLA plans to rob the Sunset Br-anch of the Hibernia Bank on ..ril 15 19'4, and to be in- trndced to the world via tape ,s th SLA's gun - slinging "Tania."

In Ann Arbor most bouncers are either students or recent University graduates. Whittler, for instance, graduated from the Uni- versity two years ago with a degree in both his- tory and physiology. He took the bouncer job because he needed the money. "WELL," HE explained, "I went through a depression. I lost my job, my girl and my money. I went to New York to publish a novel that wasn't accepted and I just couldn't make it." "Actually we all love it here," added co-worker Elaine Witt who was waiting tables at the time. "We are all here for the money, but we get along really well." See BOUNCERS, Page 2 Daily Photo by STEVE'KAGAN BUNKY REED checks ID at Dooley's, a much-frequented local drinking establishment. 'U' given $4.6 million for genetic mutation study By JIM TOBIN The federal government has granted the Uni- versity's H u m a n Genetics Department $4.6 million for mutation research which may lead to massive monitoring of the effects of pollution and radiation on Americans. The major grant was announced at a press conference yesterday by an official of the Energy R e s e a r c h and Development Administration (ERDA), the agency created in 1974 to consoli- date energy planning and research in the U.S. GENETICS Chairman James Neel turned the project the "hardest and deepest" effort to moni- tor the effects of pollutants on genes currently underway in the country. Said Medical School Dean John Gronvall at the conference, "The job to be done is to unravel the interactions between the environment and our genetic makeup. The Department of Genetics brings honor not only to itself but to the medical school and the whole University." ERDA's goal is to discover which agents, such as radiation and chemical pollutants, cause mutations in humans. But to do so requires much more data on the growing trend of mutations than geneticists have so far provided, and Neel's highly automated blood analysis equipment to study subtle changes in blood proteins controlled by genes. Out of 1,000 newborn babies tested every year, it is expected that 50 abnormalities will be found. Blood samples will be taken from babies born at the University's Women's Hospital. "This is all new ground," Neel declared. But he went on to claim "it's not a strike in the blue. We've got a lot of experience." NEEL, WHO was awarded the National Medal of Science for 1974 for his discoveries of genetic causes for several diseases, has studied the effects of radiation on the survivors of the Hiro- shima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, as well as genetic trend in South American people unex- posed to modern pollutants. He explained that while most mutations are unhealthy, science has kept mutants alive and thus the genetic defects are passed from genera- tion to generation. "Modern society has blunted the edge of na- tural selection," he said, pointing out that soci- ties whose doctors have curtailed natural selec- tion should deal with the cause of mutations.
