Dp\ > Professionalism Web It's getting so you need a law brief to tell the amateurs from the pros in sports today-and especially in college basketball. The National Collegiate Athletic Association has just sued the professional American °- Basketball -_ Association over the signing of Villanova star Howard Porter last year in midseason. The surface issue is to force all such signings into the open: Villanova had to forfeit gate receipts and its standing because - Porter's signing of a contract had been kept secret. But the real purpose of the suit is to stop the two pro basketball leagues from signing players before their eligibility is up. The other day a professional team signed Marquette University junior Jim Chones. Complicating the situation is the desire of the two pro leagues for congressional approval to merge, so they would not have to bid up the price of college - talent against each other. This could help the college teams, since it could prevent raiding by the pros before collegians have played out their eligibility. Ironically, however, merger would aiso further cement the tie between the collegiate and pro systems. in effect, bigtime college basketball players are semi-pros anyway, supported by scholarships. In this context, it is hard to feel too much sympathy for the NCAA, even while one must agree that no signings should be clandestine. Amateurism has a place in college sports. But it needs a lot bigger defense-in philosophy and practice-than a mere lawsuit can bring it. -CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Injured 4 After Skid ..

Assembly Race The year '72 has every evidence of being a great grandstand year for political watchers, and just to add more interest to the scene, it was announced this morning that Ridgeway SupervisorStanley R. Kubatek has joinedthe race for State Assembly in the new 137th District. 7 Supervisor Kubatek has been presented as an Orleans County entry in the race by County Democratic Chairman William Monacelli. Monacelli had been regarded at one time as .a possible can- didate himself, having made a run for the Assembly some years ago against Alonzo L. Waters of Medina, veteran of a 17-year legislative service. - However, in a letter to Francis Repicct of Batavia, Genesee County Democratic chairman, Monacelli said over the week end: \I have had a number of calls from Democrats in all four counties of our new 137th Assembly Dist. inquiring about the possibility of my candidacy. I know you are meeting with the Genesee County Committee Wednesday so I am sending this message in time to state that I am not to be considered an Assembly candidate at this time. '\'However I want to present to you the name of Supervisor Stanley R. Kubatek of Medina, who last fall was elected to the Orleans County Board of Supervisors from Ridgeway, the largest township in Orleans and traditionally a strong Republican town.\ - On the Republican side, William Knights Jr. of Ridge Rd., Knowlesville, announced his candidacy Friday and spent the week end calling on Republican - officials in Wyoming, Genesee; Orleans and parts of Monroe County. The new 137th Assembly District, created under re- apportionment in February, is now served by Frank Walkley, who would normally have been the incumbent when re- X Movies in Lockport Bring Mayor's Request LOCKPORT - Responding to calls from three mothers con- cerned over the type of movies bemg shown at the only theatre in this city, Mayor Raymond C. Betsch this week end asked the theatre's manager to stop showing x-rated films. In a letter to Charles L. Beatty, manager of the Palace Theatre, the mayor said he had been appalled at the two movies he saw in the theatre while they were playing between Feb. 26 and Mar. 8. Beatty replied that the theatre is owned by Countrywide Theatres of New York City and that all bookings come from New: York. \I have nothing to do with the bookings we have here,\ Beatty was quoted as saying. The mayor asked the theatre's officials to consider that \you are the only movie theatre in the City of Lockport, and have a captive audience who might attend a movie once a week, and are compelled to see what you are showing.\ Beatty said he would confer with theatre officials in New York City this week. \But there's nothing I can do; if I refuse to show the films they'll replace me with someone else,\ he was quoted as saying. Stanley Kubatek approtionment takes effect at this year's end. However, Walkley was announced late last week as the definite choice to succeed Don Wickham as commissioner of agriculture and markets in the state. This creates the 137th District vacancy. About seven Genesee County Republicans expressed early interest in the seat, but the Genesee GOP Committee en- dorsement went to Joseph, Mancuso, an industrial developer in Batavia. The Orleans Republican Committee will meet Thursday night at Albion, and if support for Knights is strong enough for endorsement, the spotlight will shift to Wyoming County's GOP committee to determine its stand. The Democratic side of the picture first began to develop with the entry of Paul J. Weiss, a Batavia teacher and son of Judge Philip Weiss, and Franklin J. Battaglia, a substitute public school teacher, former Batavian, and now living in Albion. The Democratic committees in Genesee and Wyoming Counties have made no endorsements in the Assembly race to date. The new 137th district includes the eastern half of Wyoming. County, all of Genesee and Orleans Counties and the Monroe County towns of Hamlin, Clarkson and Sweden. The first date for circulating petiions for the Assembly race is | March 28 and the final filing date for these petitions in Albany is April 27. Because of redistricting and crossrng county lines, workers will not carry petitions which include all 1972 candidates on one deoument. This year will bring election of major county offices, plus party committeemen, which must be placed on separate petitions within each county. It is considered unlikely in the Assembly races that either party will desire to create a primary fight. Observers at this juncture see a choice between Mancuso and Knights on the Republican side, while Weiss has the ap- parent edge in Genesee County as the opposition which Kubatek of Orleans must overcome to win a general endorsement. _ Supervisor Kubatek took office in January ofthis year as head of the Ridgeway governmental body. He is a former civil defense director in Orleans and is em- ployed by Medina Motors Inc. Ford Cites Anderson For Multiple Heresay WASHINGTON (UPI) House GOP leader Gerald R. Ford today accused columnist Jack Anderson of employing hearsay and gimmickry in his allegations that the administra- tion made antitrust concessions to International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT). Ford made the attack as the Senate Judiciary Committee prepared to continue its investi- gation of the case Tuesday by questioning John N. Mitchell, who was attorney general at the time the ITT matter was settled. \ _... Anderson is to be condemned for dragging the name of the President of the United States before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the basis of evidence which is so unreliable that it would be barred from every court of law in the nation,\ Ford said. 'Mr. Anderson has used the universally discredited tech- nique of multiple hearsay to substantiate his charges, a gimmick which involves a presentation of evidence three or four times removed from the source,\ said Ford, of Michi- gan. Mr. Anderson required to produce substantive evidence of probative value in the ITT case, he would surely be unable to do so. With but multiple hearsay evidence, Jack Anderson is a man without a case.\ The confirmation of Mitch- ell's successor, acting Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst, has been sidetracked by the controversy surrounding the ITT case. Kleindienst headed the Justice Department's Anti- trust Division at the time it made an out-of-court settlement with ITT -a conglomerate which Anderson alleges had agreed to contribute $400,000 to the GOP National Convention this sum- mer in San Diego. In another development, ITT lobbyist Dita D. Beard, whose memo on the antitrust matter in Anderson's hands touched off the flap, was reported recover- ing in a Denver hospital where she may be able to meet with members of the Judiciary panel by about midwec', according to her doctors. She has been confined since March 3, suffer- ing from a heart ailment. Sen. Marlow W. Cook,. R-Ky., a member of the Judiciary Committee, meanwhile accused Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D- Mass., also on the panel, of engaging in \a political con- spiracy ... to discredit govern- ment officials.\ Cook asked for an executive session of the committee \to examine the nature and extent of the improprieties.\ Cook said Kennedy received a copy of a reporter's interview with Mrs. Beard. The notes belonged to Britt Hume, an Anderson Associate. rew ee sizes s ein wee an ne nie ut s nner mene rom mem creme AL REGISTER Serving The Lake Plains Country-Orleans.

James Groppi. \The time for these men is not over,\ said The Rev.

Atty. Gen. Louis J. Lefkowitz announced Sunday that his of- fice filed a suit last week in State Supreme Court against W & J. Sloane. The suit alleges that the firm violated state law by figuring monthly finance: charges by using the so - called \previous balance method.\ Under that method, which is widely used in consumer finan- cing, the interest during each monthly billing cycle is figured on the balance before any pay- ments are deducted. . According to Lefkowitz, the method violates a section of the personal property law. The sec- tion provides that interest may not exceed 1.5 per cent on the first $500 of indebtedness and 1 per cent on any debts of more than that amount. Lefkowitz said, however, that 'The legislative history of the statute makes it clear that stores are allowed to receive this service charge only to cov- er the expenses of their charge account system.\ SUNY Applications Up 15 Per Cent ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI-Appli- cations for admittance to the State University of New York are running 15 per cent ahead of last year as survey of 48 of the 71 SUNY campuses shows, a university spokesman said Sunday night. A SUNY spokesman said 126,- 000 prospective students have applied to begin study next fall, an increase of 16,000 compared with the same time last year. Before the admissions year is concluded, officials say the actual number of applicants is expected to reach a record of between 165,000 and 175,000. Last year, 146,900 students ap- plied.

U leave in a suit directed ! ' desperate advisers, involved' ee, was among those expected to attend the fifth annual convention of the Council in Denver this week. The theme of the convention, which runs through Friday, was ''Ministry for Justice and Peace -An Imperative for priests-USA.\ Bonnike said The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, who was convicted for burning draft records, had hoped to attend the conference, but was turned down by his parole board. His brother, Philip, is on trial in Harrisburg, Pa., on charges of conspiring to kldnap Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. Two hundred priest delegates and observers from the entire Catholic political and theologi- cal spectrum gathered for the annual convention. Among the most controversial items expected to come up for debate was a request for full membership in the organization by '\'The Society of Priests for a Free Ministry\ -a group dominated by 'married ex- priests. \In the past, a priest had either total ministry or no ministry at all,\ Bonnike said. ''We want to see a priest able to pass from a ministry (as a celibate) to another ministry (as a married man).\ However, Bonnike said he hoped the issue of the married priest would not sidetrack the main theme of urging the priesthood to greater social action. . ''We have got to get the priest out of the narrow parochialism in which he officiates -at weddings and funerals and doesn't concern himself with the rest of the community,\ he said. along a 150-mile front in eastern Cambodia in an at- tempt to stop a guerrilla plan to attack Saigon.

Humphrey Campaigns in Old Style in New Age MIAMI (UPI) -Now what was Hubert Humphrey doing there, standing on the tailgate of a station wagon, riding through the unpopulated boule- vards of a Negro ward, speaking into a sound system - to almost no one -*'Hello . . . Hello, there . . . I just wanted to say hello\. It did not take polititical genius to tell that this was a bad scene. There had been no advance work to stir up a crowd. Florida has 2.1 million Demo- crats. In 45 minutes, the precariously perched Humphrey saw maybe a few hundred. In the age of, media politics, Humphrey campaigns in the old style. When a woman. in a faded housedress wants to tell him what it was like raising cotton in Alabama, he proclaims, 'Why bless your sweet heart!\ and gives her five minutes. He uses 25 minutes convert- ing 11 black laborers in hard hats who already are behind him, telling how he wouldn't let the telephone company bust the union when he was mayor of Minneapolis in 1947. - \Listen he says, '\'Hubert Humphrey's been a friend of labor since the Year one.\ To some degree, he has accommodated to the new style of politics. His hair is tinted to . hide the gray. His lapels are wide, his suits are knit and he wears boots. After 1,000 lectures by 100 he has learned how to terminate a speech. He used to drive his staff to despair by talking too much -wooing the crowd, winning the crowd, boring the crowd. In Florida, he is buoyant, open-mouthed in delight. Labor leaders remember his form 1948, when he first emerged into national politics. Blacks remember the civil rights battles. Jewish voters remem- ber. So\ do the old, retirement cities and mobile homes with curtains. Every- where, there is someone to tell Humphrey how they met back in 19-. | But the young remember only 1968. They talk of Humphrey's - \war record\ -not what he did in World War II, but where he stood in 1968. So he preaches redemption finally - in and asks forgiveness. ask ourselves about the tomorrows,\ Humphrey told a high school mock convention Saturday. \You can't relive the yesterdays.\ The high school - kids heard him out, but voted for Sen. George McGovern. ' Before an audience of Univer- sity of Florida students at Gainesville, Humphrey closed his speech asking, \What makes you think you can end war abroad if there's violence in your hearts at home?\ But the youthful anger remains. Humphrey calls it \'the pollution of the mind.\ It is a hostile environment. The first questioner at Gainesville said 53 young are buried there, victims; of Viet- nam. \I worked for you in 1968, Senator Humphrey\ he said. \I think you are full of --, sir.' Humphrey gave a soft answer and the moment's ugliness dissipated. If Sen. Edmund Muskie falters, the old professionals of . - the Democratic party will take another look at Humphrey and his petition for. the \rematch\ he says he Cfirned. They will ask if the Humphrey can win th new new voter, the 25 million who were too young to vote in 1968. The young McGovern suppor- ters want purity, not redemp- tion. When McGovern speaks, the banners always read: \Right From the Start.\ The slogan is a reference to his alarly opposition to the Vietnam ar. t
