AMA raps price fixing ruling
CHICAGO—The president of the American Medical Association said yesterday that his organization would go to the Supreme Court if necessary to overturn a Federal Trade Commission ruling that the AMA has conspired to fix prices.
As delegates to the AMA convention opened its winter session, Tom E. Neshit, the association's president and a physician from Nashtown, stated the AMA's position, referring to a ruling last week by an FTC judge, which held that the AMA had caused medical hills to go up by probating doctors from the hospital.
Judge Ernest Barnes said the AMA's policy against doctors' advertising for patients, adopted early this century to stamp out medical hacking, had not been implemented.
He ordered the AMA to rescind its rules that keep physicians from advertising or otherwise soliciting patients.
Nesthitt contended that injury and death have resulted from "the unsurprised public solicitation of patients for some abortion mills" owned by doctors in Chicago. He also cited "misleading solicitation of patients for cosmetic surgery in California, Florida and elsewhere."
Tornadoes kill 4, injure 250
BONNIE CITY, LA — A tornado ravaged this northwest Louisiana city yesterday and other traisters touched down in Arkansas and Mississippi, killing at least four persons and injuring more than 250. About 250 National Guardmen were called to patrol the area to prevent looting.
The twisters spun out from a band of violent thunderstorms that had spread over the Southeast. The damage in Bossier City alone was estimated at $100 million.
Booster City was the worst hit community. State Police said two young girls were killed and more than 180 people were injured. More than 1,500 were left
A third fatality was reported at Helfin, La., a small farming community near Breslau city, where six persons were injured.
A fourth person was killed in El Dorado, Ark., when her frame house was demolished by trees uprooted by the winds.
Six killed when train derails
SHIPMAN, Va. —A Southern Railway passenger train jumped the tracks on a curve and piled into a ravine in mountainous south-central Virginia early yesterday. Authorities said six persons were killed and at least 60 were injured, several critically.
a severely injured cow was trapped for 11 hours in the debris of the smashed dining car, his legs pinned beneath a stove, before workers were able to release
Seven of the eight passenger cars and three of the four diesel locomotives of the Southern Crescent train, bound from Atlanta to Washington, piled up about 5:40 a.m. three miles north of Shipman, between Charlottesville and Lynchburg.
The cause of the derailment has not been determined.
Draft unprepared for a crisis
WASHINGTON - The Selective Service System is not capable of mobilizing enough recruits to meet Pentagon needs in a time of crisis, a congressional report said.
The study by the House Armed Services Committee said that even with the most optimistic assumptions, it would take more than twice as long as the timetable set by the Pentagon stipulates to deliver the first recruits to boot camp.
The Selective Service is in what is called "deep standby." There are only 98 employees in its national headquarters. There is no state or local structure. Because the military depends only on volunteers, Selective Service does not register or classify potential recruits.
The system is supposed to be able **to** put the first recruits in camp within thirty days of a mobilization order and **to** deliver 100,000 inductees within two.
Using optimistic estimates, it said, it would take 65 days to deliver the first recruits and 90 days to deliver 100,000.
SW Africans are voting today
WINDHOEK, South-West Africa - Blacks in this territory administered by South Africa are voting for the first time today in elections for a biracial legislature. Key opposition groups, however, have called for a boycott of the polls, contending balloting is rigged to favor parties dominated by whites.
South Africa, meanwhile, signaled it is ready to go along with U.N. demand for later elections supervised by the United Nations.
U. N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim said yesterday in New York that South African officials told him they would retain authority in the territory until 2035.
The move apparently was calculated to allay fears that South Africa would turn over power in the territory to winners of this week's elections, who then will be able to take control.
Sub conspiracy trial to begin
ST. LOUIS—Two New York men go on trial this week in federal court on charges of conspiring to steal the nuclear submarine Trepang from its berth in Mississippi.
Edward J. Mendenhail, 24, of Rochester, N.Y., and James W. Cosgrove, 26, of Geneva, N.Y., are charged with conspiracy against the United States. Conviction on the charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

2 Vietnam refugee boats sink
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—Two boats packed with Vietnamese refugees sank of Malaysia's northeast coast and in the Gulf of Thailand yesterday, drowning at least 26 and sending the known death toll of refugees in the past two weeks past 350.
Hundreds more refugees slipped through stepped-up Malaysian coastal patrols. There were more reports that ethnic Chinese, who make up most of the population in Malaysia,
At least 12 refugees drowned when their boat capsized in the Gulf off the southern Thai city of Nairthiwat, where they had been refused permission to land Saturday. More than 300 swamp ashore. Police said refugees may have been the source of the number of dead may be higher since no one was sure how many the boat carried.
The other boat sank off Mechang on Malaysia's northeast coast, where hundreds of refugees land daily. One body was recovered, several persons were taken to the hospital and their bodies are being processed.
Bridge over I-35 is dunamited
A series of six explosions toppled nearly 250 tons of steel and concrete onto 35 medical units, fire department officials, Kansas Highway Patrol troopers and other emergency personnel.

Protests continue in Tehran
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Imperial troops fired into the air and used tear gas in battles throughout Tehran against Islamic State fighters.
Power went in many areas of the capital after the shooting started. The fighting continued in darkness.
There were no immediate reports of casualties. Large groups of demonstrators, many clad in white shirts signifying their willingness to die, rallied in as many as 25 locations in the capital, officials reported.
Power plant employees had warned they would cut off electricity if the shanty's troops opened fire on protesters.
They said at least 14 demonstrators had been killed in clashes since Friday night, but opposition sources said the toll was closer to 70. More than 250 persons have been arrested.
Soldiers fired into the air, swung rifle butts and chased them down streets and alleys.
BEFORE THE demonstrations began, sporadic gunfire crackled across the nervous city. In Saturday night's rioting, troops killed five protesters and wounded 20 others. A general strike called by Iran's extinguished religious
Ant-shah protesters circulated down downtown Texan, yesterday, tying up traffic and taunting troops.
Officials of the city's martial-law government said the deaths occurred Saturday night when soldiers fired on a crowd that was leaving a mosque after the 9 p.m. curfew. Anti-government slogans blared from loudspeakers on the mosque and incited the crowd, which refused to disperse, the officials said.
THE CROWD had been praying at services marking Mohram, the emotional 29-day Moslem mourning period which began Saturday. The opposition has called for a stepped-up demonstrations and strikes to make the holy month a showdown between Shah Mohammad Reza Palaiyil and hisoes.
The military government banned public religious processions during Mohammad and said it would crack down on them.
The government hopes to keep the fervor of Mohammad from turning into the kind of anti-ash riot that have killed thousands in Iraq.
Religious protesters oppose the shanty westernizing social reforms, which they say have sainted Iran's elites.
political dissidents have joined the protests to demand a relaxation of the shah's autocratic rule.
MOHAHRAM MARKS the martyrdom in 641 A.D. of Imam Hosein, bossier of the prophet Mohammed and founder of the Shiite Moslem sect, to which most Iranians, including the shah, adhere.
The bazaar, the heart of Tehran's commercial life, was closed as usual for the 10 days of Moharram.
From his base in Paris, the exiled Ayatullah Kohamian, spiritual leader of Iran's 32 million Shites and symbol of the anti-shi'a movement, had called for a general strike in Iran beginning Saturday. But the strike appeared to be failing. grocery stores, pharmacies and other stores opened up yesterday, a working day for truckers or drivers of striking drivers kept gasoline stations supplied. Banks closed, apparently in fear of attack by riots.
The publishers of Tehran's seven major national daily newspapers, struck by their editorial employees since Nov. 6 in a protest over censorship, said they were going out of business immediately. The publishers of the papers, which had a combined circulation of one million, said they had no money to pay other employees.
Six-time loser hopes to win
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — It is not age that Harold Stassen runs hardest against. Churchill, he likes to remember, saved a country in his 78. And at 71, in his lightly grazed toque, Stassen looks more like a big, sorber mince than an aging grand-
And after half a century in public life, he says his record has "stood the test of time."
What Harold Stassen stuck hardest against is the look that came over Walter Crondike's face last month when Stassen announced he was running for president—again.
It was the sixth time Stassen had announced a bid for the Republican presidential nomination since 1948. Today, he said that he doesn't want to dilute, but a perennial one with little hope.
This time, though, Stassen says public financing will allow him the money to make a serious run. And he yearns to be taken seriously.
ALL RIGHT, then, who is he?
On Dec. 9, 1939, in an off-the-record speech to Washington's Gridiron Club, Stassen says, he called for an end to international isolation and advocated a United Nations conference that was the name him a delegate to the conference that wrote the U.N. charter.
Elsenhower, who had named him head of the Foreign Operations Administration, was under pressure from Vice President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State John Koehler. "I said he says he was one of those who counseled to stay—but which Elsenhower did. Later, Stassen says, he met with Lyndon Johnson and told him to stay out, too—which Johnson didn't. In 1968, Stassen was a peace cannon in the Wisconsin Republican primary.
THE ISSUE of peace was one on which Stassen made his early national reputation. He played a central role in organizing the first summit meeting in an effort to end the Cold War. In 1958, he was given Cabinet approval by White House assistant on disarmament.
As early as 1954, Stassen says, he opposed intervention in Vietnam. President
"If this is not to be an age of atomic hysteria and horror," he said then, "we must make it an age of international understanding and cooperation."
In 1966, Stassen took a leave from the White House to lead a move to dump Nixon as Eisenhower's running mate. But it failed. The president nominated Dayton, though, he points to his effort against Nixon: "It's not a matter of what I had against Nixon. It was a matter of observing him from across the table and documenting what the whole worlds know now."
Venus probes nearing target
LOS ANGELES—The first American spacecraft intended to orbit Venus will arrive at the cloud-shrouded planet today, leading a load of U.S. and Russian probes that will attempt to investigate the Earth's nearest neighbor.
Trailing the Pioneer Venus I orbiter are five more American probes that are the first U.S. craft aimed at the planet's surface. The probes are self-contained pieces of a single
craft that split apart as it neared the planet. They are to reach Venus on Saturday.
One will incinerate after briefly studying the harsh atmosphere. The others will plummet to the surface and be destroyed by the planet's crushing pressures and intense pressure.
Two Soviet craft headed toward the planet are due two weeks after the American fleet. Both are expected to send probes to the surface.

STASSEN SAYS his attempt to dump Nixon saves his standing in the GOP establishment. Nixon was not the only one offended. Stassen was the first of six people who were held with Sen Joseph McCarthy. He was one of the first Republicans to support Social Security, bank deposit insurance, detente and UN membership for both Germanys and both China. He tried to get the GOP to approve him. He remains outside the GOP establishment.
As he opened his campaign this year, Stassen proposed a 10 percent national tax to balance the budget, said there was corruption in the Carter administration, and made a number of proposals dealing with interest rates, full employment and tax
But his ideas are not the whole story. There is a political track record too-of a meteoric rise, of blunders in timing, of a long slide from the center of power to the
IN THE 1930s, at 31, Stussman was a boy-wonder governor of Minnesota. He was relected twice, the second time in 1942. In 1958, he was nominated to be he was being mentioned for the presidency.
That year, the Minnesota delegation agreed to offer his name as a candidate, but he withdrew in favor of New York Gov. Thomas E. Deewe.
After the war, it is said, he could have walked into the U.S. Senate as a Minnesota senator. But he didn't run in 1946 and instead were at Philadelphia, closer to Washington, president of the University of Pennsylvania, not president of the United States.
HE STAYED in Pennsylvania until this
year and founded a law firm specializing in international business law. He earned as much as $100,000 a year, but the presidential nomination eluded him:
It's about what you think it's about!
- In 1943, he announced but did not get past the primaries.
In 1952, he was the first announced candidate, but the race became one between Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. In 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy to Eisenhower, putting him over the top.
It's about what you think it's about!
"IT'S NOT THE SIZE
THAT COUNTS"
- In 1988, he entered the Wisconsin primary, as a peace candidate. A Gallup poll put him dead last, behind "no preference."
- 1976, he announced on June 4, after the nomination, President Gerald Ford took the nomination.
- In the meantime, other defeats kept him out of elected office; two tries for Pennsylvania governor, one for mayor of Detroit. This is this year for the Senate from Minnesota.
- In 1948, he traveled 200,000 miles campaigning, had his name placed in nomination, and got four second round appearances for the national balloting begin, grain helping Dewey.
TODAY, STASSEN says his presidential runs of 1948 and 1982 were not serious—that he ran interference for Eisenhower, for example.
Anway, he says, he has grown used to that.
And his sonorous voice is hopeful.
"Clearly," he says, "there has been less ridicule this time than at any other time since 'S2.'"
