Illegal Contributions Bring Stockholder Suits
Stockholders of Gulf Oil filed suit in federal court in Washington on Monday搜获 $1 million in damages from company executives for making fraudulent statements.
In New York, meanwhile, a similar suit filed by stockholders of American Airlines seeks $100,000 in damages from a former board chairman for giving stockholders the right to vote.
The suit against Gulf seeks an order forcing corporation Vice President Claus C. Wild Jr. and other executives to pay more than $1 million damages.
Gulf pleaded guilty to making illegal campaign contributions totaling $125,000 in connection with the 1972 campaign election. Of that, $100,000 went to Nikon's campaign. Wild pleaded guilty to consenting to the $100,000 Nixon contribution and was fined $1,000.
U.S. Attache Kidnaped in Northern Mexico
A U.S. commercial attache with the consular office in Hermoilso in northern Mexico has been kidnapped, a U.S. consul spokesman said.
Reliable government sources in Washington said the kidnappers, identifying themselves as members of the People's Liberation Army of Mexico, were planning to attack a group of immigrants.
The consulate spokesman said the attack, identified as John Patterson, 31, was abducted last Friday in Hermosul, about 180 miles south of the U.S.
Little by little, South Vietnam is increasing its military strength in what it needs consolidation of sovereignty" over the contested Straddys Islands in the South.
S. Vietnam Builds Military Force in Islands
Once a month, a navy support craft sails out from the mainland to bring thousands of tons of building material, food, water and ammunition to nearly 200 soldiers occupying five of the 11 islands in the chain also claimed by the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan.
Small teams of army engineers also are sent to build defense and housing facilities for the garrisons.
The five islands that South Vietnam occupies are interspersed with those occupied by Taiwan and the Philippines.
Less Deadly Cigarette Is Committee's Goal
No cigarette will ever be safe, a scientist said yesterday. But he said efforts were being made to make them safer by identifying chemical compounds that can affect the lungs.
The tars obtainable from cigarettes contain at least 1,200 known chemical compounds and probably others that haven't yet been discovered, said Dr. Benjamin L. Van Duuren, a chemist and professor of environmental medicine at New York University Medical Center.
Duaren is a member of the Lung Cancer Task Force of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., a committee looking for a less harmful
One answer for safer cigarettes could come from using parts of the tobacco plant that contain little or none of the many suspected culprit chemicals, be said. That might be done by selective breeding of tobacco plants or by filtering out the suspected agents.
Male Sergeant Commands Female Company
Some of George Cady's first sergeants call him "First Skirt." He's the only man in a company of 291 women.
Cady is a senior non-commissioned officer in D Company of the Army Security Agency field station in Ausburs, Germany.
"There's not all that much difference. It's just getting so you think in terms of people instead of men," said Cady of Rutland, VT., in an interview. He said it took him some time to get used to letting women do the heavy work.
One of the restrictions of his job is that he doesn't have the freedom to enter barracks buildings unexpectedly.
"When I go in to inspect the barracks, I have to have one of the girls accompany me. She announces my presence."

"The cold spell last week didn't cause any
any damage." We didn't have any
"oil gas" use.
Nitcher said some of the decline in natural gas consumption in January 1974 was due to the use of fuel oil to heat the campus during three days in January.
Similar calculations show that 11.6 per cent less electricity was consumed last week.
Nichter said that the University hadn't had any problems getting natural gas during the winter and that he didn't foresee any further problems in that area.
Nitcher said for fiscal 1974, the University had asked the Board of Regents for $246,802 for natural gas, $704,552 for electricity and $30,000 for fuel oil. He said those requests had been made June 1, 1973, and hadn't accounted for the increase in fuel costs.
Again excluding the two new buildings, the report showed that 26.6 per cent less electricity and 17 per cent less natural gas usage in January 1974 than in January 1973.
Nitcher said that he wasn't certain what measures would be taken to conserve energy this summer, but the thermostats for air conditioning would be set "a little higher than last year, probably at 78 or 80 degrees."
He said the decrease in fuel consumption this winter had been due to above average temperatures and efforts to conserve energy all over campus, including lowering thermostats and using less lighting all over campus.
“If we can convince the Board of Regents that our budget is short,” he said, “they will make a request to the state legislature for the $75 billion in 2015 with the requests for the 1976 fiscal budget.”
ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT by Richard L. Perkins, energy conservation officer for the University, 10 per cent less natural gas was consumed by the University last month than in February 1973 (the small and the new hospital aren't considered).
KU Energy Costs Up, But Consumption Down
Nitcher said the recent increase in attempted rapes on campus hadn't caused much change in the amount of campus fighting.
He said about $651,000 would be spent for electricity and $210,000 for natural gas by the end of fiscal 1974. Actual expenditures for fuel oil this winter were $23,679, he said. Fire reserves won't be used again this fiscal year, Notcher predicted.
Nitcher estimated $885,000 would be spent on fuel and electricity by the University this fiscal year, compared with $802,866 in fiscal 1973.
"OUR REQUESTED BUDGET for fiscal
1994 may be as much as $100,000 short," he said.
Although the amount of energy consumed by the University of Kansas decreased in fiscal 1974 from fiscal 1973, energy costs increased about 10 per cent. Kelton, N.itchier, vice chancellor for business affairs and president of the energy policy committee, said yesterday.
