OLYMPIC BOARD MEETS WITH CAR TER AIDES:
Panel urges no boycott
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Top officials
of the U.S. Olympic Committee yester-
day met with White House aides to urge
that President Carter decide against
ordering the U.S. team to boycott the
summer Olympics in Moscow.
U.S. Olympic Committee President
'Robert Kane and Executive Director
Don Miller came to Washington from
Colorado Springs, Colo., to meet with
presidential aides.
Press secretary Jody Powell said
Carter, who went to Camp David, Md.,
for the weekend, will decide within the
next several days whether the United
States should boycott the games.
But Powell noted that Carter has
already said he could not support
American participation in the event in
the Soviet Union if Russian troops are
still in Afghanistan. The games are
scheduled for July 19-Aug. 3.
"The president has said on several
occasions that he could not support
American participation in the Olympic
Games in Moscow under the present
Yugoslavia cautions
against interference
circumstances - while Soviet troops
are engaged in a very brutal repression
of the people of Afghanistan," Powell
said in an interview on the NBC-TV
"Today" program.
Kane and Miller are contending that
Carter has no authority to enact a
boycott because the International
Olympic Committee charter specifies
no political leader can make such a
decision.
Miller on Thursday left open the
possibility the USOC might ignore a
boycott order.
He expressed disappointment that
neither he nor any member of his staff
had been consulted during a" week of
pronouncements by administration of-
ficials who publicly discussed the.
possibility of a boycott.
Miller said he hoped that the "impact
on future generations" of a boycott are
fully considered by Carter before he
makes his decision. If a boycott is or-
dered and supported by the Western
nations, Miller said, "that it will be the
demise of the current Olympic
movement."x
Deputy Secretary of State Warren
Christopher found a lot of support
among European allies for a boycott
during his recent trip there, a senior,
administration official said Thursday.
About 50,000 Americans each year
take part in marathon races, a distan-
ce-when measured by Olympic stan-
dards-of 26 miles, 385 yards. # The
original marathon runner supposedly
ran 22 miles, 1,470 yards, the distance a
Greek soldier ran from the battlefield
at Marathon to Athens to report the vic-
tory over the Persians some 2,000 years
ago.
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPI) -
Yugoslavia issued a warning yesterday
against any interferefice in its internal
affairs in the event of the death of ailing
President Josip Broz Tito, 87:
Doctors said Tito's condition has
stabilized, but there was no change in
his, left leg, previously reported as
"gradually deteriorating."
IN A WARNING to both East and
'West - but understood to have been
issued with the Soviet Union uppermost
in mind - Foreign Ministry spokesman
Mirko Kalezic said Yugoslavia is "a
solid and stable com-
munity... capable of preserving and
defending its independence.
"Yugoslavia has never accepted nor
needed anybody's guardianship and
strongly rejects any or all bloc conten-
tions or rivalries concerning either its
internal or international status," he
said.
The foreign ministry statement was
bolstered by a get-well cable sent to
Tito by the Yugoslav army Communist
Party organization, which pledged the
"full unity, readiness and resoluteness
of all army members to jointly ... un-
shakably and decisively defend the
achievement of our revolution, freedom
and territorial integrity."
Another get-well telegram was sent
by Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev,
who wished Tito "an early and com-
plete recovery" and expressed con-
fidence that "Comrade Tito will be able
to work fruitfully for a long time in the
interests of Yugoslavia and Soviet-
Yugoslav friendship," the Tass News
Agency reported from Moscow. .

The 54-year-old Swainson was

A routine search allegedly turned up
a marijuana cigarette in one of Swai-

SWAINSON HAD insisted he did not

Windfall tax
compromise,
expeected .on
Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate and
House conferees reached tentative, i
formal agreement yesterday th
would require independent oil
producers to pay as much as $25 billion
in "windfall" taxes in the 1980s.
That figure is about half-way between
the $57 billion tax that the House voted
to impose on independents and the $1
billion levy favored by senators.
CONFERENCE leaders said the
preliminary agreement could lead to
final action on the tax early next wee*
Still to be determined is how the $227
billion in tax revenues would be spent.,
Bernard Shapiro, staff chief of the
Joint Committee on Taxation, told
reporters the conferees appear headed
toward agreement on a package that
would tax oil yet to be discovered at
about half or less the rate applying to
oil already in production.
Treatment of future discoveries an
of all oil produced by independents
were the two biggest items of con-
troversy between the $277 billion wind-
fall tax passed by the House last June
aid the $178 billion version voted by the
Senate in December.
THE CONFEREES agreed before the
Christmas holidays to split the dif-
ference at $227 billion but put o
deciding how them tax should be spla
among various types of crude oil and
between the major and independent
segments of the industry.
President Carter proposed the new
tax to take back part of the estimated $1
trillion that consumers will pay to the
oil industry in the 1980s as a result of his
action in removing price controls from
U.S. crude oil. After existing federal
and state taxes are deducted, the ne
tax would leave the oil industry witr
about 20 per cent of that $1 trillion
"windfall."

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
Queen Mary, known in history as "Bloody Mary," sat upon
the Throne of England from 1553 to 155& She was a violent
persecutor of Protestants. After having brought multitudes
-in England and Scotland and Wales to the "block" and had
their heads cut off, and othes to the "stake" to be burned
alive, she stretched forth her hand to strike them of Ireland.
In 1558 she signed a Commission authorizing the
persecution and annihilation of all Irish heretics.
Foria little sample of Queen Mary's work we quote from an
English History: "Among the first victims were John Rogers,
the Bible Transltor, and Hooper the Bishop of Glouster -
Coverdale was saved by the interposition of the king of
Denmark; but R idley and Latimer sealed their faith at Oxford,
Oct. 16, 1555. Latimer was now in his 77th year, hale and
OF EVERY KIND." These, and many other men and women,
died cruel deaths, some even rejoicing in their sufferings in
order to be faithful witnesses to Genuine Protestantism!
Protestantism lived on in England and Scotland and Wales to
bless those people and the world.
God Almighty protected and preserved the Protestants of
ireland at that time from the designs of Queen Mary and her
supporters. By a series of Providential Acts Including a
courageous act by a woman, bad weather and the death of
"Bloody Mary", this evil inspired plan was never executed.
THUS GOD PRESERVED THE PROTESTANTS OF
IRELAND!

THE LORD SHALL HAVE THEM IN DERISION!" - So, says
