United States had a . minister of culture it would be someone like Clint Eastwood. ' We're frankly delighted that the United States doesn't have a minister of culture: Artists concerned more with their art thanwith politics are usually aware that creativity | _ is more likely fo thrive in an atmosphere of freedom than under the wing of a govern- ment.ministry. But if we did | have such a baleful ministry, we'd rather see it headed by Clint Eastwood than Susan Sontag. Artists have, as they -__ should, the freedom to think about politics, to publish and discuss their ruminations, even to enter that dubious - field in search of fulfiliment. Artists and intellectuals may, from time to time, offer valuable insights that are worthy of consideration. When they begin to believe «that they know what's good for the rest of us and want to impose it on us through the force of the government, however, prudent people should view them as suspiciously as they would view any other would-be rulers. As dolefut as are the results of government by bureaucracy, we should perhaps be grateful we have so far been spared govern- ment by artists and in- tellectuals. As we're being endlessly reminded in this year of the 50th anniversary of the Nazi accession in Germany, failed painters don't always make the most enlightened governors. -CQLUMBUS (Nebr.) TELEGRAM Retailers Can - . Refuse Bottles __ With Butts ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - Smokers beware. Retailers can refuse to redeem containers contaminated with cigarette butts under bottle deposit law regulations issued? by the Department of Environmental Conservation. The regulations, filed Tues day with the state Department of State, say only first distributors of beverages in metal, glass or plastic contain- ers may initiate the five-cent- per-container deposit process. And they must accept emp ties for redemption from any retailer who sells the same brandthey distribute. Distributors who market a cular brand of beverage must also accept empties from other distributors who do not usually sell or collect deposits on that brand. Retailers must accept up to 240 containers from shy one customer on any day, and, except for the first and last half bours of the business day, must accept them whenever they're open for business. But retailers don't have to accept bottles or cans with liquid or foreign material in them, andunder the regulations cigarette butts are considered foreign material. «Retail stores don't have to accept broken bottles or crushed cans, either, but distributors do, as long as the part of the container redeemed is labeled with its refund value. Victations of the regulations, say the DEC, could mean a $500 penalty. The botfle law - passed last year after a 10-year straggle by environmentalists - is set now to go into effect July 1. But the Assembly sponsor of the law, bending to complaints from the bottle indestry that the date is too soon, has said he will ty to amend the law, giving the industry as a wholes 90 days afterward to came into full compliance.

He called the Soviet Asks Soviet Reduction _ On Nuclear Weapons By HELEN THOMAS UPI White Houge Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI). - President gan, asked the Soviet Union today to join in an interim agreement to reduce the number of warheads atop medium-rangenuclear missiles in Europe to an equal number on both sides. Reagan, in an eight-minute address to a diplomatic audi- ence carried live on U.S. radio and television and also to Europe, did not propose any specific numbers, but he told NATOambassadorsgathered in the East Room: \When it comes to intermedi- ate-range missiles in Europe, it would be better to have none than to have some. But if there must be some, it is better to have few than to have many.\ Although the American in- terim proposal mentions no numbers, it shifts the emphasis in the negotiations from missile launchers to warheads. The , Soviets have about 600 launch ers in place, about 500 aimed at Europe. More than half the total launchers carry triple warhead SS-205. The United States currently has only short-range missiles in place in Europe, all with single warheads. The U.S. medium- range missiles due to be installed in December also have only single warheads. Reagan he was prompt- ed to offer the interimproposal because the Soviets have flatly rejected his basic negotiating position,\ '8 \Zero\ option\ calling fon the elimination of the medium-range missiles by rejection of that idea a \deep disappointment. \But Reagan said, \I do not intend to let this shadow that has been cast over the Geneva negotiations further darken oursearch for peace.\ Reagan has been under pressurefrom the allies to offer an interimproposal as a means of breaking the deadlock in the talks which have been under way for nearly 18 months. NATO officials were briefed earlier today on Reagan's and in a separate statement Assistant Secretary of State Richard Burt, who currently servesas chairman of the NATO Special Consultative Group, said the allies \welcome and strongly support the new U.S. inftlative\ asa \\first step towards final nt on total elimination'' of all medium-range missiles in Europe.

Some harsh winters with numerous school closings leave sehool districts scrambling to camplete 180-day sessions re- quired by the state, but not the winter of 1982-83. The big-city districts had no more than one emergency shutdown and, armed with academic calendars allowing for several snow days, may extend vacations and still meet The Potsdam pupils, who never woke to a morning white enough to let them rofl over, signed a petition for extra holidays and staged a sit-in.

The capital city's school expected the Board of Education to extend the Memorial Day holiday by three days. \We usually give It to the staff in recognition of a job well done,\ said Dave Brown. Albany had one snow day in 198283, compared to five last year. Buffalo and Oswego each had just one closing due to bad weather, but it wasn't in winter, Both districts froze learning because of an ice storm on March 21, the first day of spring. Did Buffalo shut down March 21 because it had a surplus? \I don't think that was the attitude at all,\ said Angeline Kasprzak, a Buffalo Board of Education researcher. She said there would have been a closing regardless of any havoc wrought on the calendar.
