To its embarrassment, the Army has been called to account by Congress for a piece of misleading advertising. It said the whole thing was a big mistake.
Rep. Gerald Ford, R-Mich., brought the matter up at house appropriations subcommittee hearings made public today. He asked Gen. Charles B. Duff, director of the army budget, to explain.
The caption, on a newspaper photograph supplied by the army, showed a "prototype" Nike-Zeus rocket in a launching cradle. It said in part: "Clear the area. The Nike-Zeus is ready to go..."
Duff said that someone took one of the pictures out of a series and printed it with a caption that failed to convey that the weapon still was in the development stage.

Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn., has announced a special Senate judiciary subcommittee plans field hearings into complaints that Federal judges have refused to disqualify themselves in certain cases. Dodd, chairman of the group, said "further hearings will be held shortly" on the issue.
He said the "subcommittee may go into various judicial districts in the country, including New England, where there have been complaints of Federal judges refusing to disqualify themselves."
The issue arose after the group held brief hearings Wednesday to discuss a bill introduced by Sen. Roman L. Hruska, R-Neb., calling for changes in the U.S. code relating to procedures for disqualifying a judge.

The investigation was disclosed in a letter from Lee Loevinger, assistant attorney general of the antitrust division, to Rep. Bradford Morse, R-Mass., yesterday.
The Justice Department today was investigating possible antitrust violations in residual oil prices and supplies.
"The investigation of possible violations of the antitrust and other laws in this area are still continuing." Loevinger said.
"Determination of the remedial action warranted in this complex and important situation requires careful investigation and consideration," he said. "The attorney general wishes to get thoroughly at the facts of this matter as quickly as possible."

Chairman Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., asked the Justice Department today to study the testimony of General Electric executives before his Senate antitrust subcommittee for possible perjury action.
Kefauver sent the department contradictory testimony given yesterday about whether GE Vice President Arthur F. Vinson condoned or authorized price-rigging by men working under him.
Testifying under oath, Vinson said he never even knew that $125,000-a-year division chiefs and $75,000-a-year department managers met with competitors to agree on prices they would charge for heavy electrical equipment.
Former executives who accused him of pressuring them into price-fixing either lied or were laboring under an "honest misunderstanding." Vinson testified.

Spry 100-Year-Old Gets Social Security
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A 100-year-old retired Douglas County farmer who can remember Quantrill's raids on Lawrence, today became the oldest social security recipient in the Topeka area.
And although he is five months past the century mark, Henry H. Fishburn sings every morning, sometimes for an hour before getting up. Born in Missouri, the centenarian came to Kansas with his parents in a covered wagon in 1863, crossing the Kaw River on a ferry boat.
Fishburn has lived on the same farm 94 years. He has 12 children, 42 grandchildren, 63 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. Maurice Fishburn, Lawrence graduate student, is one of the 42 grandchildren.

John A. Meixner, assistant professor of English, separated the "new poets" into two groups yesterday at the Poetry Hour.
Prof. Meixner said the "new poets" spoke to a larger audience more directly than the group of poets called contemporary or modern authors.
"THE TWO GROUPS are the poets who are little-known and have seldom been published," he said, "and a group that is better established and has reached a point of distinction."
The poems reflected different spirit and different personalities, he said.
Modern Poets Differ In Style, Says Meixner
The personalities and spirit in the first group showed bitterness, love, the artist and the man haunted by death.
Prof. Meixner then chose a manuscript from his briefcase and began to read. His voice lowered as he began "Journeys," by Carolyn Hauberg.
"A place is what your memories make it," he read. "Memories are your souvenirs."
To present a different mood to the captive audience, Prof. Meixner then read "Baby August," by David Roberts. Roberts was a graduate student at KU two years ago.
The tragedy of the poem occurs when the young man returns to visit a grave-alone. The grave he visits is not the child's, but his lover's.
THIS POEM TOLD the story of two lovers who walked through a cemetery together and noticed the gravestone of a five-month-old child. They promised to return to talk to it later.
"SNODGRASS is an interesting figure," he said. "He is a teacher in several universities but since he is primarily a poet rather than a teacher, he has an uneasy relationship with the teaching profession."
He read "April Inventory," which he said was becoming a minor classic. The poem is the story of a middle-aged professor taking stock of his position and his future life.
He turned to a discussion of poets in the established group and read from W. D. Snodgrass, a Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry.
