Schweiker
has 4 years
to recover
Liberal assesses
impact on career
of ran with Reagnir
ByChasfcsM. Madigaa

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sen. Rkfaard
Schweiker knew he was taking the
biggest risk of his poetical career when
he joined Ronald Reagan s iH- fat- ed
presidential campaign as the vtce--
rannJfiwifial inrfiifaflte
But he called it a ' coalition for
victory" and forged ahead. He hoped
his liberal reputation would lure
moderate supporters into Reagan's
conservative camp. He wanted to give
the forgotten wing of the party a voice
m presidential pontics.
It was a gamble mat led to a
devastating loss, and now Schweiker is
assessing the damage caused by the
first defeat m an otherwise brilliant
career as a congressman for IS years.
Schweiker and hts friends admit that
he ts an agressive and ambitious man.
The campaign to erase bis first defeat
is already underway
Time is on Schweiker's side. He will
become Pennsylvania's senior senator
when Hugh Scott retires at the end of
this year He does not face re- electi- on
until 1980, when he will be5.
My first objective is to go back to
being a good senator for
Pennsylvania," Schweiker said. " Andl
cant emphasis that too strongly I'm
working on a new legislative package
now
He said he wants to review the
government programs be once
supported " and see just bow effective
they really are. i wast to know if the
taipayer is resgymtttog Ms money's
worth.
Schweiker bad one of the moot liberal
voting records in fts Senate. He
supported hPa setting op consumer
protection agencies, battled
appropriations for the F- 1- U, supported
food stamps for striken, and pushed for
open legislative meetings.
And whale it may seem unrelated, his
future voting record couM play an
frrftM"" role In dfftymmfag how
successful be will survive what some
say was political suicide.
Many RepnbUcan officials say the
Reagan- Schweik- er failure gives
Schweiker a chance to make his voting
record more moderate in time for re
lioctiirn
That way, be may be able to appeal to
his tradRkaal Repsbtkan supporters,
make inroads among caiaervaUws and
retain tin) sopnort he has among
Democrats and organised labor

The three walked to the control tower
where US. Ambassador Kenneth Rush
had been talking with the hijackers by
radio The hijackers had demanded to
talkmmPresident Ford, but settled for
Rush after an attempt to establish a
telephone link between the plane and
Washington faded.
The ambassador tried to assure the
sac terrorists two of them reportedly
wired with explosives that their saga
was being publicized fully in the United
States as they had demanded
According to VJS officials, the
woman wanted to telephone a Ukranian
priest in the United States apparently
to verify that the terrorists manifesto
had been published Early this
morning French officials had not
decided whether to allow the call
The biggest thing right now the
biggest problem is that people on the
scene say eerybody is suffering from
fatigue, aU-- S official said
Early Saturday as part of an
agreement that secured the release of
35 passengers in Newfoundland
thousands of propaganda leaflets were
dropped from the pre- daw- n air over
London and Pans More leaflets were
dropped by a helicopter over New York,
Chicago and Montreal during the day
The terrorists demanded Croatia s
independence from Yugoslavia They
accused President Tito himself a
Croatian, of systematic genocide of
the Croatian people
The Declaration of the headquarters
of the Croatian National Liberation
Forces ' said m part
Croatia is not up for bids in an
international auction block but rather
plays an integral part in the destiny of

surrender to either U. S. or Yugoslav
authorities or die Thompson faces volatile initiation
By Job Peek
jffhfnrliTirtr? Mt
Dozens of irate parents, angry about
reduced school busing, could prove a
harrowing initiation for Russell
Thompson Monday at his first school
board meeting since becoming interim
superintendent of Columbia schools.
Buthe said he isn't worried.
You always wish for a nice, peaceful
meeting butthose are becoming fewer
and far between, Thompson said
Saturday I dont have any concerns
for myself
School board officials expect such a
large crowd for the 8 pan. Monday- meetin- g
they have moved it to the
Hickman High School auditorium. The
board usually meets at its headquarters
at 1002 Range Line SL
Busutg will be one of the first issues
discussed at the meeting
Thompson said a discussion of the
school transportation system has been
placed on the meeting agenda to allow
parents to present a petition to the
board requesting increased bus
service
The petitioners, led by Ed Bartolacci
4610 Mexico Gravel Road, have
accumulated about 430 signatures on a
petition to put before voters the issue of
busing mileage limits Only 10
signatures are required to force a vote
The school board this summer cut
back free bus transportation by
changing from 2 miles ( 3 2 kilometers)
to 31 miles ( 5 6 kilometers) the
minimum distance from school secon-dary
school children can hve and still
be eligible for free transportation.
Elementary school children still
receive free transportation if they hve
one mile ( 1 6 kilometers) or more from
school
The board made the change to save
money but with the savings came
complaints from parents The
petitioners seek to have free bus
service increased to include all
students living one- ha- lf mile ( 0 8
kilometers) or morefrom school
The service cutback combined with
delayed and overcrowded buses early
in the school year unified parents who
were determined to change the
situation.
Bartolacci said the petitioners
lawyer will present the document,
because Frankly I don t know what
to expect at the meeting

Serious crime here rises more than 27 BySneStaakey
MJsmortan staff writer
Serious crane in Columbia increased
by more than 27 per cent last year,
almost three times the national
average
Nationally serious crime rose 10 per
cent, according to the recently released
FBI s Uniform Crane Report. The FBI
figures compare 197Stol974.
Columbia's crime rate inrease
parallels the FBI report s finding that
crime has been rising at a faster rate in
rural areas and smaller cities than in
urban areas.
The largest increase has been in
property crimes, both nationally and in
Columbia
Columbia s increase in reported
crime can be attributed m part to the
profitability of crane, citizen apathy
and the transient nature of the city
Police Chief David Walsh said.
" Crane pays, he said. And apathv
larger communities have had it for
years, now the smaller communities
have iL And thats where our major
push has been to get people involved
Walsh instituted the departments
community relations division in
October 1975 both to increase Columbia
residents awareness of the crime
problem and to aid them in preventing
crime
You re dealing with crime no one
sees or wants to see and that s what
we re getting into in preention he
said
In addition Walsh said the average
small community is not as cohesive as
it once was
The average family moves every
five vears. As a result, small towns
have not held together through time
and generations as they did in the
past, he said People are not in an
era when they look out for each other s
possessions and call the ponce when
suspicious things occur
People have to get involved, Walsh
said. We dont have enough cops,
unless we put one on every street
corner in the city and no city can afford
that
Walsh attributes the increase in
property crime to the ease with which
stolen property is disposed of and the
difficulty in prosecuting offenders
In Missouri it is difficult if not
impossible to arrest persons with stolen
property " he said Under state law
you must prove the person knew it was
stolen
In addition Walsh said the nation s
system of probation and parole adds to
the crime problem.
The problem doesn t he with us or

Efficient precipitator is
costly air quality device
By David nwitnse
At ttie center of the dispute over the
dtysair polmtion problems isadevke
with an importanteounding name mat
may affect what Gohnnhiaiw breathe
and how much they pay for electricity
formany years to come.
The device an electrostatic
precipitator The possible cost to city
taxpayers rnorethanlSrnillion.
A precipitator, if installed to the
smokestack at the municipal power
plant, would have one immediate effect
it would make the smoke coming out
of the stock invisible.
Uore importantly, it would eliminate
the tiny partkk of fly ash that settle
oa neighboring cats, sidewalks and in
individuals' longs. These particles, too
mall for the lungs to remove, have
town Tffl as a possible contributing
factor in emphywana and other
The prWpitator generally is
regarded as the most effective way to
rernofv these partSctes. This efficiency.
however, also has made the precipit-ate
coe of the most expensive air quali-ty
devices. A state official has esti-mated
the cost of installation at $ 27
million.
If the oty ever were to buy a
precipitator, Charles Moreau, a Water
and Light Department official, said, it
would be installed at the power plant in
the ducte leading to the smokestack. It
most be cleaned daily, he said, in order
to remove the fly ash that it collects.
Moreau said that if toe aty were
allowed to use inexpensive Missouri
coal with the precipitator, the device
could pay for itself within 2 years.
A good electrostatic precipitator can
eliminate fly ash with a 99 9 per cent
efficiency rating. City officials say they
probably would be in the market for one
witharating of SB or99 per cent
The device achieves such efficiency
bygiving anelectrical charge to fly ash
particles that pan through it An
oppositely charged plate then attracts
fine particles, where they are
neatrtBaed and dropped into a hopper
The City Council has expressed its
intention to install a precipitator but
only if the state agrees to drop a suit
against the aty and allow the city to
burn inexpensive Missouri coal
The suit, filed in June charges the
aty with repeated violations of state air
quahty standards.
If me state does not agree to the aty s
package deal however no one seems
willing to say whether a precipitator
would be installed. The pending
litigation precludes both city and state
nffjnthi from showing their hands,
as one official put it" -
If I said yes, the city will install a
precipitator no matterwbat, then the
state would be pretty reluctant to drop
their suit,' said aty Manager Terry
Novak. It would all be op to toe
council."
Billie Keeling, state air pollution
specialist, also declined to predict what
the outcome of the oat would be in
terms of the precipitator
The state repeatedly has urged the
( See STATE, Pag ISA)
City officials say this model precipitator is larger than one
the municipal power plant would need. However, the unit and
the truck below it give some idea of the general size of most
industrial- us- e precipitators. Smoke enters the shaft at right,
is processed by the precipitator, and exits through the
smokestack. The device would be placed on top of the power
plant, officials say, instead of being free- standin- g like this
