Thursday, November 16, 1978 University Daffly Kausan Cronkite sues department store HOUSTON (UPI)—Broadcaster Walter Cronek is seeking an unspecified amount of damages in a lawsuit filed against a department store. The store included him in a Christmas catalog as one of 21 celebrities who would attend a dinner party. The "ultimate gift" was offered by Sakowitz Inc., of Houston, to almost a million customers last month, but apparently Sakowitz Inc. President Robert T. Roberts resisted requests by Cronkite's attorneys to dissuay the offer. "We meant no ill to Mr. Cronkite." Sakowitz said. THE ATTONNEY for Sakowitz, I. Mark Westheimer, would not comment whether the department store would comply with the lawsuit's requests to "notify all persons, customers, news organizations, . . . that it cannot arrange any such dinner." The catalog offer was made without Cronkite's permission, the unit said. No date was set for a hearing on Cronkite's request for a temporary injunction. Sakwitz said the gift offer, for customers who wanted to "be somebody," was made because a speaker bureau, Program Corporation of America, of Hartside, N.Y., offered him its price list of celebrities it could supply. HARRIETT TURNER national sales director for the speaker bureau, subsequently said, after Clinton protested the offer on Thursday, that it was not a "great deal." "We would expect people to not publish names until they sign a contract with us," she said. "We made it quite clear at the outset that we could not guarantee to get all these people under one roof." The gift idea offered the dinner party for "21 of your worldly friends like Walter Corkell, Nite Armstrong, Sen. Henry Jackson, Uri Geller, Gloria Steinem, George Allen Dr. Albert Sabin, Arthur Ahae, Tom Wolfe, F. Lee Bailey, Bruce Jenney. "HE CALLED to find out what it was all about, then called back to apologize and he said he thought it fine." Sakowitz said. Two Houston attorneys, who filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Crankite, had no comment on the lawsuit. Sakwitz said Olympic decathlon champion Jenner was the only other celebrity to protest. The lawsuit also asked Sakwitz to cease distribution of the catalog and to destroy the two pages containing the reference to the book.

ATWOOD (AP)—The town marshal of Culbertson, Neb., was shot yesterday afternoon, and a suspect was apprehended in the city on Monday. The charge by Hawkins County sheriff a deputy. Marshal Rod Haller, 49, was wounded in the face, neck and chest by a shotgun blast, but was treated and released at a McCook, Neh. hospital. The incident occurred about 4 p.m. No further details were immediately available. SAYING THAT MISGRADING of government employees was "wasteful and inefficient." Campbell suggested that he should have workers to more responsible jobs, or add duties to the jobs they now perform. He said downgrading should be used "generally as a Even if all the estimated 155,000 overgraded bursacrats were demoted immediately there would be no savings to pay for their training. The department has granted 24 months of pay protection to federal workers who are reduced in grade through no personal fault. Hitchcock County sheriff's deputies from Nebraska and the Nebraska State Patrol pursued the suspect south on Nebraska State Highway 17 into Kansas. He was taken into custody after his vehicle, Haller's patrol car, broke down. *Denotes HBO Cable Channel 10 has continuous news and weather FOR CREATIVE GIFTS PAST SPOT checks have indicated that overgrading was extensive, but it was not until this month that the commission completed its first attempt at a comprehensive, statistically reliable survey of the problem. After interviewing jobholders and their bosses and reviewing documents associated with the jobs, the report's authors concluded that 98 of the positions were overgraded under standard commission rules governing job classifications. Based on their sample and using standard statistical methods, the authors said they were convinced that 11.5 percent of the government's white collar workers were overgraded, give or take 3 percentage points either way. The 14-year-old suspect, believed to be from Hastings, Neb., had a shotgun in the car with him but surrendered without incident. They also found that 3.3 percent of employees were undergraded and therefore underprepared.
