Dole is called biggest headline grabber
JEFFERSON CITY, Moe. (UPI) - Rating politicians is a favorite game of journalists and this month a Washington publication took on Congress.
A silkick monthly magazine published in the nation's capital, the Washington deals the largest numbers of women and kids in the nightlife's best bets in the performing arts, films and other areas of interest.
WASHINGTON, however, unlike communities such as St. Louis and Kansas City, which have their own magazines, also has Congress. And the November issue of the Washingtonian had former UFI Capitol Hill president Daniel Rapport provide this year's awards.
A dozen congressmen from Missouri,
Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma made
Rapport's list, with five making it more
than once.
VIRTUALLY EVERY politician is a seeker of publicity, the magazine decided, and gave 14 members of Congress its Proxmire Publicity oizere.
"Selected for this award are those lawmakers whose headline-grabbing dazzles even their colleagues," the Washingtonian said.
Heading the list was Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan. Nearly tucked away among the 14 also was the nation's first announced candidate, Rep. Philip Crane, R-III.
"With the kind of press Congress gets, it's
hardly surprising that citizens tell pollsters they have about as much use for representatives and senators as they do for politicians. Mr. Karp said in the prologue to his presentations.
"COLLECTIVELY, the 95th Congress has managed to offend nearly everybody," he said, with conservatives aghast at the $487 abortion bill. "And the Congress' disregard for the plight of the cities, feminists angry over Medicaid amendments prohibiting abortion payments and anti-abortion mad for its failure to end anti-abortion constitutional amendment.
THE PROFILES in Courage Plague was presented to members who have taken stands of conviction costing them significant support at home. Here Reps John Anderson, R-III, and Richard Bolling, D-Mo., were rewarded.
Anderson was on the list because he held to his moderate views despite risk of political retribution from fellow Republicans and Bollman who one took pro-educational roles within the House, winning the sensity of some entrenched colleagues.
THE RIISING Above Politics Rubbon again to evil will to illicit. He will be R-Ok4- and Rep. Abu Mikael D-III. It was given to those most immune to the blandishments and pressures of special relations.
Only one Midwest member made the
lengthy list of Off-Field Specialist—otherwise known as the Monty Hall Let's make a Deal Award. He was Rep. Dan Restowenk D-DIII.
Sen. Adial Stevenson, D-Dll., was selected by Rapport one of the Work Horses of the Year, and Rep. William Clay, D-Mo. Just for the Rising Above Principle Plaque.
"FOR FOOTSOLDIERS of fortune," the magazine said, "winners included not only the dutiful servants of industry, but also the loyal handmaidens of labor."
In a list of 16 members Most Liked by Colleagues, Sen. James Pearson, R-Kan. and Reps. Mikva and Robert Michel, R-Ill., were sigged up.
Two Midwesterners made the Willow Award—Doi and Rep. Edward Winkard.
"To the general public the surprise entry here may be Dole," Rapoport said. "As Gerald Ford's running mate in 1976 he came across as a humorous hatchetman. Yet on a moist floor and an after-dinner speaker, Dole displays an understated and wry wit.
"DERWINSKI IS another anomaly," he said. "Strongly conservative on domestic issues, an ardent hacker of such fun-loving things as the Republican Party, one of one Congress' last crew cuts, Derwinski is a genuinely funny man—to get him involved, let the rest of his qualities get in the way."
Goldstein gift to jurors questioned
KANAS CITY, Kan. (AP) - Publisher A Goldstein may have run afoul of the Kansas law again, according to Nick A. Tornasic, Wyandotte County district attorney.
Tomassic said Goldstein, who was acquitted in Kansas City, Kan., a year ago on federal obscenity charges, may have broken Kansas law by treating five of the
jurors to an expense-paid trip to New York City.
Judge refuses to modify Hearst's 7 year sentence
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A federal judge refused yesterday to set aside Patricia Hearst's bank robber conviction or modify her seven-year sentence.
She had alleged that her trial was "reduced to a mockery a force and a sham because of ineffective assistance of counsel."
In denying all Hearst's motions, U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick Jr. declared that "none of the evidence offered in her behalf, even if clearly established at
an evidentiary hearing, would entitle her to
an relief."
Hearst, who will be eligible for parole July 11, was charged with the April 15, 1974, robbery of a San Francisco bank with Symbionese Liberation Army members who had kidnapped her on Feb. 4, 1974, from her Berkely apartment.
San Francisco was captured Sept. 18, 1975, in San Francisco and convicted of bank robbery by a judge on December 13.
The juries, who returned home yesterday, were wined and dined by Goldstein for two days, including an all-night party at Plato's club that usually cater to sexual fantasies.
Hearst, 24, recently announced she wants to marry a former bodyguard.
TOMASIC SAID a section of Kamasaw law made it illegal for a juror to be "given or offered" any benefit, reward or consideration for performance of an official duty. The punishment was a Class A misdemeanor, punished by up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
Jurisdiction is a question because the jurors served on a federal, not a state panel. Tomatic said. There is no penalty for juries who rack rewards or benefits, the attorney added.
In Topeka, U.S. Attorney James Buchele said Tomasic had raised an interesting question. He said he did not know if there was a comparable to the state law Tomasic cited.

"Most politicians, at least the successful ones, have the ability to appear smarter than they really are." Rapport said in awarding the Mensa Medal for intelligence
The Gale McGee Worst Dressed Wreath also included Dorswinky.
"FOR THIS award the judges had to cut through articulativeness and other cosmetic irregularities."
The two Midwesterners to win the prize were Illinois' Anderson and Massachusetts'
And finally, Special Citation for Citizen's Arrest was given Rep. J. Herbert Burke, RP.
"Clear-cut winner was Burke, who one summer night this year was picked up by
police at a nude go-go bar near Ft. Lauderdale and charged with drunkenness, resisting arrest and trying to influence a witness," the magazine said. "While that may look like what happened, what really was the case is that he entered the club while tailing two men he had heard plotting a drug deal. He felt obligated to make the bust."
Voters upset, pessimistic about economy, inflation
NEW YORK (AP)—Voters said yesterday they were pessimistic about the economy and fed up with high federal spending, but Republicans were unable to take advantage of the austerity sentiment. They responded, according to an Associated Press NBC News survey, of a
The survey indicated that Democratic congressional candidates would pull about 43 percent of the nationwide vote and Republicans
The poll interviewed more than 32,000 voters at 1,200 polling places.
HOWEVER, INDEPENDENTS—one-third of all voters nationwide—provided something for Carter to worry about: Of the
The survey also showed that President Carter's cross-country campaign for Democratic candidates influenced millions of voters.
Twenty-seven percent of the voters said their opinion of the president's performance influenced their vote. But the impact was muted because 15 percent said they voted Democrat and 13 percent said they Republican, thus splitting Carter's impact predictably along party lines.
VOTERS WANT the 96th Congress to move fast on inflation, citing it as the most important issue facing the nation. Asked what strategy Congress should follow, most voters ignored tax cuts and suggested reducing federal spending and impeding wage and price increases.
14 percent of independent voters who said Carter influenced their vote, almost three-fourths of them voted for GOP congressional candidates.
The apathy that kept millions of Americans away from the polls yesterday was reflected by the voters also. Though 51 percent said they were not voting today, 62% agreed with this statement: "No matter who is elected today, this election, like most others, won't make my life any better or worse."
THE VOTERS' economic point of view is bleak. Forty-three percent said they expected the nation's economy to get worse in the coming year. Fourteen percent said they expected an upturn and 31 percent said they expected a major blame for the situation on the Congress they were re-selecting.
Democrats held as solidly yesterday as in previous years. In the Watergate year of 1974, for example, Democrats controlled 58 percent of the congressional vote. In 1970, Democrats received a more normal $3 percent.
Voters also endorsed a cut in taxes, both federal and local, with a little more than 50 percent endorsing each. However, 45 percent of all voters said federal spending cuts should be used to battle inflation, and only 11 percent cited a tax-cut strategy.
Asked whether they endorsed a one-third cut in federal spending, even where favored services are paired, 62 percent of those surplus cuts were approved.
