KC businessmen found guilty
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A jury in U.S. District Court has returned a split verdict against two business partners charged with defrauding a Kansas City, Mo., company in the 1980s.
The jury returned guilty verdict against Richard T. Mitchell and Howard W. Getting on charges of substantive mail fraud and conspiracy. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on two other counts of substantive mail fraud and found the defendants not guilty on another mail fraud charge.
Mitchell and Oetting, who formed the M.O.B. Investment Co., maintained they had no intent to defraud the Security National Bank in Kansas City, but admitted depositing worthless checks to cover their overdrafts in the M.O.B. account until the amount rose to $90,000.

The trial was the second for the defendants. The first trial last March resulted
in a bungy jury.

Nell said he did not see how a decision on seeking a rehearing could be made until he saw the court's full written option, which is not expected to be released.

Few survive pilarimage crash
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—A chartered jetliner carrying 246 Moslem pilgrims home from Mecca crashed, broke up and burned yesterday a mile from Colombo's airport while being guided down in a severe thunderstorm, airport authorities said.
Bill Connor, a spokesman for Icelandic Airlines in New York, said all but 47 of those aboard were killed. The Federal Aviation Administration in Washington issued a statement Tuesday.
The Icelandic DC-B, bound from Jidda, Suda Arabia, also carried 13 crew and 46 passengers by an Indonesian ship. The crash occurred about noon (Central Standard Time).
Authorities said they did not know what caused the crash and were searching for the jet's flight recorder.
Suit charges scouting bias
TRENTON, N.J.-Haupbackup Boy Scouts are discriminated against by the national organization's failure to establish programs enabling them to move up the ladder.
The New Jersey Department of the Public Advocate, an ombundam-like agency, fled the U.S. District Court suit against the Boy Scouts of America on Monday.
The scouts, all members of Troop 89 in the convalescent center, fulfilled alternate requirements established by scoutmaster Edward Matter to earn merit badges and awards. But the national organization, the suit charges, denied the awards because its policy says a scout must "do and not just tell."

NEW YORK (AP) - Margaret Mead, one of the world's foremost anthropologists and idol of several generations of American students, died yesterday after a year-long battle with cancer. She was 76.

She favored legalization of marijuana because, she said, banning it bred conflict between children and their parents, which was worse than any harm done by marijuana.

Mead, whose early fame and professional reputation were based on exhaustive field studies of primitive Pacific island cultures, always stayed in tune and in touch with the vault of her own land.
SHE ANGERED some political conservatives, who objected to her views on marijuana and general conflict.
She also thought adults had to heed the opinions of their children. One reason for this, she said, was television, which produced a generation that saw history being made before it was censored by that generation's elders.
A writer once dubbed her "grandmother of us all," and that description was endorsed by Edward J. Lehman, executive director of the American Anthropological Association, which was meeting in Los Angeles when she

Panel finds no payment to Ray
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House Assassinations Committee said yesterday it could find no evidence that James Earl Riordan was guilty of civil rights murder Martin Luther King Jr.
Ray probably financed his flight from the assassination scene in Memphis, Tennessee, with cash obtained in an Illinois bank account, committee investigators concluded.
"If there is a conspiracy, then there is no evidence that Ray received payment," G. Robert Blakey, the committee's chief counsel, said.
FOLLOWING King's murder on April 4, 1968. Ray fled to Canada, flew to England, went on to Portugal, then returned to London and was arrested June 8, 1968.
He had also traveled extensively in Mexico and Canada from the time of his
escape from the Missouri State Pentitentiary on April 23, 1987, until the assassination.
Those who believe there was a conspiracy to kill King have cited the lack of any apparent source of income that Ray could have used to pay travel and other expenses, including phony documents to mask his identity.
IN TESTIMONY yesterday committee investigator Edward M. Evans recounted a detailed examination of Ray's finances in the late 1970s to capture London's Heathrow airport.
Evans estimated Ray spent $69,074 and took in $1,238.54 from known sources during the period. He had $144 in his pocket when arrested.
That leaves $3,899 unaccounted for,
of most which Ray has insisted came from a
federal funder.
enlisted him in an illegal drug and gun smuggling scheme.
EVANS SAID committee investigators believed the July 13, 1967, robbery of $27,000 from a bank in Alton, Ill., was "the most shocking case to Ray's Laud version of his finances."
He said it was probably that one or both of Ray's brothers, John and Jerry, took part in the holdup, in which two men wearing masks and carrying shadows hung on the bank.
James Earl Ray, currently serving a 99-year prison term for the King assassination, has denied any part in the bank robbery, which is still listed as unsolved by the FBI. John Ray is to testify before the committee later.
JAMES EARL BAY initially pleaded
guilty to the assassination, but has since recapted a confession made in 1969.
Evans said, "The Alton robbery is virtually identical in modus operandi to five other bank robberies in which John Roy was arrested. The case is captured in at least one of these robberies."
Shortly after the date of the bank robbery, Evans said, James Earl Ray rented an apartment with an advance of $150, bought $23 in cash, and attended at court. He is a District 18 Rockefeller County.
A TREED-WAY split of the $27,000, would have given James Earl Jay $9,000.
Blakey said although no evidence was found that Ray was paid, that did not completely rule out the possibility of a conspiracy.
Judge to determine fate of NOW boycott
KANAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A federal judge yesterday took under advisement an antitrust suit filed by the state of Missouri to challenge the practices of the National Organization for Women.
"A lot of trigger men go through with the contract and are not said," he said.
The judge, U.S. District Judge Eim B. Niemeyer, detested it would be early next year for the court to issue a ruling.
The decision is being closely watched because the convention boycott of non-Equal Rights Amendment of non-EPA has been the arsenal of ERA forces. About 350 groups and organizations are now on record as promising not to meet in non-ERA states, so NOW.
In closing arguments, Roger Bern,
assistant Missouri attorney general,
characterized the boycott as "taking states
as economic hostages, with ratification of
theEqual Rights Amendment as the ransom."
The state has alleged that the boycott is an illegal restraint of trade and has harmed the economy.
NOW ATTORNEY John Vanderstater countered that "courts have often been called on to suppress political ideas. That's not a good way for the courts to be used. I don't think a decision for the state would be respected."
The non-jury trial began Oct. 30. The suit, field by Missouri Attorney General John Ashcroft in February, seeks to halt NOW's assault against four states that have not ratified the ERA.
Bern said women's groups such as the Business and Professional Women and the League of Women Voters had been told not to pursue political potential for "real political clout." But he
**HUNTER GAVE both sides until Dec. 15 to file final briefs in the case. He said once thesebriefs were filled, an opinion would not be released and it will require a great deal of research," he said.
Hunter told Vanderstaff that it was the duty of the court to decide the issue on the basis of the law, and not on "whether it will be popular or unpopular."
said it was not until early 1977, when NOW decided to use the boycott as a primary weapon, that the tactic's impact had been really felt.
Bern said NOW estimated last year that the boycotting was costing the state of Missouri $19 million at a time when only 100 organizations were committed to the boycotting. The NOW officials promised at that time that the boycotting was "just beginning."
VANDERSTAR said that during the past $2 \frac{1}{2} $weeks, teachers, professors, city and county officers and religious groups had testified on behalf of NOW.
He contended it was the responsibility of the affected hotels and convention bureaus to file suit against NOW, not the state of Missouri.
He likened NOW's actions to consumer boycotts which, he said, date back to the 1800s. And he charged that if the court ruled against the state, "the consumer boycott is dead."
