Mills won't run again
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-Kep. Wilbur D. Mills says he won't seek re-election because he frequents a strenuous campaign could cause him to resume drinking.
He said that campaigning could cause fatigue, hunger and anxiety—things he saves his doctors have advised him to avoid in his battle with alcoholism.
MIKS, once one of the most powerful figures in Washington, told the Arkansas Gazette that he would declare by March 6 that he was leaving political barring any attempt to reclaim the White House.
Mills lost the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee following a series of incidents in 1974 that when began stripper Fanne Fox ran from his car and dove into Washington's Tidal Basin. Mills subsequently appeared on stage in Boston with Fox.
Later he publically admitted he was suffering from alcoholism and was hospitalized in Maryland and Florida for more than five months.
Hearst defense rests
SAN FRANCISCO—One of Patricia Heart's lawyers says the defense will rest its case today and predicts that her bank robbery case could go to the jury by
"Depending on what the prosecution does, I expect the case to go to the jury by Thursday," Al Johnson said in an interview yesterday.
"We haven’t rued out the possibility of Patty taking the stand again," he said, that I don’t imagine circumstances which would bring her back.
U.S. Atty. James L. Browning Jr. has him afraid he might have a surprise rebuttal
witness and has said, "something is in the wind."
Johnson also was cautious not to tip his final hand. However, he said that Dr. Marguerite Thaler Singer, a clinical psychologist from Berkeley, would be called to test the brain's ability.
"We're considering the testimony of several other witnesses," he added, but declining to name them. "They will not be psychiatric experts."
Johnson said he didn't know how long closing arguments would take, but said he expected his partner, the stylish Boston lawyer F. Lee Bailey, to handle that chore.
Sadat airs suspicions
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt expressed concern Sunday that Syria and Jordan were planning new Middle East moves behind his back.
"There is something being concocted between the two countries which I cannot understand," he told a news conference in Kuwait before returning to Cairo at the end of a Persian Gulf fund-raising tour. "Egypt cannot before of or accept such things."
Sadiat's comments came in the wake of a report attributed to unnamed diplomatic sources that President Hafez Assad of Syria and King Hussein of Iraq conspired to stop Iran from building a nuclear facility.
The report issued Assad and Hussein intended to take up an Israeli offer to discuss mobilitary pacts in exchange for Israel withfall from all Jordan's oedic forces, and said the agreement would not be reached.
Jordan's Premier Zaid Raif said in Amman Saturday night that the report was "completely false" and designed to embarrass Syrians and Jordanians in their program of increased diplomatic, political and military unity. Officials in Damascus declined to comment.
Hussein is currently in the Philippines on a two-day private visit.
Busing issue ignored by liberals in Mass.
BOSTON (AP) - Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., campaigned in South Boston one day last week, but he was visiting the elderly and wasn't seeking the antibuising vote.
Bayh, one of eight major Democratic presidential candidates in Tuesday's primary election, takes the stance which he has been promoting in school busing issue—he majors it.
ONLY ALABAMA GOV. George C. Wallace, who has opened a campaign office in South Boston, and Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who are overly wooing opponents of banning
The rest of the Democrats will answer questions on the busing issue, but rarely bring it up themselves. They are resigned, for the most part, to writing off that constituency, the size of which is an imponderable in the election.
"PEOPLE THERE are paying more attention to busing than to presidential
politics," said Bayh's state coordinator, Jack Walsh.
Wallace, who polled 7.4 per cent of the state primary vote in 1972 before court-ordered busing, has come to Massachusetts this year searching for respectability.
HE IS GIVEN a good chance of winning
this year partly because of the
bottling strategy.
Wallace is the only major Democratic candidate who backs a constitutional amendment against busing. Jackson is pushing legislation making busing orders more difficult to obtain and giving federal aid to cities under busing orders.
Both Bayh and Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-Ariz., each trying to emerge as the leading candidate in any they favor buasing as a last resort, have taken a high quality integrated education fail.
County divorce rate higher than average
Bv PAUL SHERBO
Extreme cruelty no longer cuts as many bonds of marriage as it once did. But incompatibility is separating more couples than ever.
Staff Writer
The Douglas County divorce rate is considerably higher than the national
There were 296 divorces in Douglas County in 1974, according to the most recently available statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. In 1970 there were 269 divorces here.
Both the 1970 and 1974 rates, 3.6 and 5.3 for every one thousand population respectively, were higher than the national rates of 3.5 and 4.6 the same years.
Richard Rundquist, director of the University Counseling Center in Bailey Hall, said he wasn't sure of the reasons for the high divorce rate in the county.
"I WOULD SUPPOSE the fact that you have a lot of young college people might contribute to the difference," he said. "We collect any particular statistics on that."
There isn't a statistical breakdown for units as small as Douglas County for grounds for divorce, but the statewide reasons are known.
Incompatibility increased to three times its 1970 number by 1974, Raymond Tassini, chief of research and analysis for the Bureau of Vital Statistics, said.
1970 is about the time divorce started to change and incompatibility was accepted in Europe.
By 1974, extreme cruelty suits were down to a fourth of their 1970 number.
The wife outnumbered the husband as painstick by about three to one in both 1970 and 2000.
One KU student said she had been married after high school and that her husbandused her for divorce four years later on the grounds of mental cruelty.
"IT WAS THE HARDEST decision I ever
she said. You have to admit you've
made a mistake."
She said she went back to school partly because of her divorce.
"I had no skills that I could have," she said, "decided that it's not going to help me to me."
She said she thought there were different reasons that the husband wasn't usually the one.
"Either the man doesn't know there's
anything wrong ... or sometimes he's been
tempted."
The husband may not want to give up marriage conveniences, she said.
"It's kind of handy to have someone do your laundry."
HARY WILSON, 501 Mississippi, said that his divorce of three years ago had been caused by an unwillingness to face marital problems.
"There is a tremendous social myth about marriage," he said. "No one will come out in the open and even say that their marriage is having problems."
Wilson said that he had sought advice from his friends and professional counselors, but that his wife hadn't. Talking to friends is a great help, he said.
"You'll find that you're not the lone ranger."
Wilson remarried about six months ago, be said.
He said he didn't pay alimony.
"I wouldn't pay alimony, even if I was
carried to," he said. "That is ridiculous.
There IS a difference!!!
"They get involved before they really know what kind of commitments they want to make."
The first four visits by students for counseling to Watkins are free. After that, sessions cost $3 to $15, depending on the student's ability to nav.
Wilson said he was happy in his present marriage.
WILSON SAID alimony was based on the assumption that because the wife had been married, she had lost her ability to make money. He said the husband should have the right to sue for alimony if the divorce wasn't his fault.
“WHEN A COUPLE becomes attracted to each other, they minimize a lot of problems that later become pretty heavy. Sometimes they work it out one way or another without outside help. Sometimes one of these ways is divorce.”
"It's a lot of work, he said. "I know that I've grown up and changed some."

The University Counseling Center and the Psychology Clinic in Fraser Hall are both free and confidential to students, faculty and staff. All students are staffed mostly by graduate students.
S. O. Schroeder, psychiatrist for the Watkins Hospital's Mental Health Clinic, said there were different reasons for divorces.
Watkins doesn't make statistical studies, he said.
The Watkins service isn't available only to students.
