Richardson said he attempted to tape a conversation with Arthur Williams, former USG insurance adviser. But he answered questions about that tape's existence with "No comment." Richardson said his unnamed legal counsel advised him not to implicate others in the USG Senate's special in surance investigation hearings. Richardson did admit to taping a May 23 conversation with USG office secretary Clair Brown in the USG office.

Nixon displeased by funds cut WASHINGTON (UPI) In what former President Richard M Nixon reportedly considers a "begrudging attitude,"- a Senate subcommittee voted yesterday to deprive him of more than half of the $850,000 requested for his return to private life and insisted none of it be spent for household servants. The subcommittee voted unanimously to cut the request for Nixon to 5328,000, a figure expected to be approved by the full Senate Appropriations Committee next week. The vote followed a disclosure before the subcommittee that the government has been paying salaries amounting to $420.4)00 a year for 22 employes on the payroll at Nixon's San Clemente.

Richardson also testified about a gatheringwhich took place at the end of May in the USG office with former USG president Mark Jinks, Richardson, Cernusca, and an unknbwn man. Jinks said the fourth man told him he was involved in taping Brown and Williams. Richardson tonight identified the fourth man as "Cliff." He said he did not know Cliff's last name. He also said Cliff was not a student and was not a State College resglent. Richardson refused to say how he knew Cliff or why Cliff was present at that gathering.

The source said Greece would accept a solution providing for a federation of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot com munities, "provided it does not involve the movement of popUlations and provided• the Turkish cantonments are related to the percentage of Turkish Cypriot population." But a federation based on the current division of the island imposed by Turkish arms would beocme in a few years time a definite partition and therefore unacceptable, the source said. "We want a just soltition," he said. "But if we do not get it We will fight.lWe may go to war, and Mat is no joke:, No people can expect such a blow and humiliation." The source expressed continuing Greek dissatisfaction with the role of the United States in the Cyprus crisis, and suggested this could lead ,to a demand for the removal of U.S. bases from Greece. Calley's release postponed while Army ponders appeal WASHINGTON (UPI) An appeals court judge late yesterday delayed until Monday the release of former Lt. William L. Calley Jr., while the Army considers appealing a federal court ruling overturning Calley's conviction for murder in the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Chief Judge John R. Brown ok the sth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ne*Orleans ordered a four-day delay in carrying out the direction of a lower federal court that Calley be released "forthwith." U.S. Solicitor General Robert H. Bork authorized the Army to seek ihe new delay yesterday, and Brown granted a temporary stay only minutes la The Army sought a 15-day delay while it considered the lower Court decision issued Wednesday. U.S. District Judge J. Robert Elliott of Columbus, Ga., who overturned the con viction and ordered Calley's immediate unconditional release, had refused an Ar my request that he stay his own order to allow time to decide whether his, ruling would be appealed.

Committee member .than McCarthy said last night that any rumor con cerning former Penn State football player Franco Harris' stock investment in a company involved in the case is not based.on fact. In separate action yesterday, USG president George Cernusca introduced two new members of his executive staff. Tom Downing and Greg Lord were appointed to the positions of press secretary and executive assistant. Cernusca's former executive assistant, James Newton, resigned Wednesday morning as a result of Cer nusca's retusal to comply with a corn mittee subpoena for a tape recording concerning the insurance investigation. Both appointees are graduate students in political science. Downing received his degree from Smith College. Lord has served as Alabama field representative in the presidential campaign of ' U.S. Rep. Paul N. "Pete" McCloskey (R- Calif I. Downing said he is .to serve Cernusca in , two capacities as a mouthpiece when Cernusca is unavailable for comment and as a sounding board to Cernusca's political actions. Lord said that as executive assistant he will act as a personal adviser to Cernusca and provide a counterbalance of opinion and rationality to his , ad ministration. Cernusca said Lord's name might come up for ratification at the next USG Senate meeting. Cernusca said his two new advisers will be working closely with him in any matters concerning USG, including the insurance situation. He also said he will consult them on the audit of University spending: Cernusca said he is extremely con fident about the insurance investigation. "We are riding the waves, but the shore is in sight," he said. Downing and Lord shared Cernusca's optimism. USG Vice President Marion Mientus said :she had no part in the appointments.

The subcommittee also cut a requested $lO,OOO travel budget to $3,000, trimmed a $35,000 communications request to $21,000 and reduced the "miscellaneous contingency" fund from $26,000 to $3,000. Subcommittee chairman Joseph Montoya, ° D-N.M., said Budget Director Roy Ash prompted some of the cuts when he tried to justify the expenditures for a maid and butler, saying that with servants to shine his shoes and do the housework Nixon was thus freed for activities involved in the transition of power. "Mr. Ash said that," Montoya said, "and we threw it in the Weather had turned down an Army motion for a 15-day stay. Elliott also refused an Army request for clarification of his order that Calley be given immediate unconditional freedom. The legal moves were needed to give the Army time to study the legal issues contained in Elliott's 132-page opinion in the Calley case and decide whether to ap peal his overturning of the conviction in 1971. Army officials, after being turned down by Elliott, went to Bork, the solicitor general, for authority to make the emergency appeal to Judge Brown. The sth Circuit Court is based in New Orleans but panels of the court travel throughout its southeastern jurisdiction to hear cases and conduct their business. The Justice Department did not know where the Army lawyers reached Judge Brown. Elliott's order to release Colley im mediately was mailed to Ft. Leaven worth Army disciplinary barracks Wed nesday. The Army took the position that it could not act on the court decision until the order was in the hands of the authorities who have Colley in custody. Bork first figured in the news a year ago when he fired Special Prosecutor Ar chibald Cox on President Richard Nixon's order after Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his assistant, William Ruckelshaus, resigned rather Long inflation battle seen WASHINGTON ( UPI) President Ford, preparing for today's economic summit conference, was told by his economic advisers yesterday that the battle against inflation will take 18 months to three years. Press Secretary Ron Nessen reported that prediction on the eve of the long-heralded two-day conference of top economic leaders from business, labor and government. He said Ford's advisers also expressed the opinion that the nation is no longer beset by fears of depression. Nessen said Chairman Alan Greenspan of the Council of Economic Advisers reported it may "take between a year and a half and three years from the time we start until we have it (inflation ) under control." Asked to elaborate on Greenspan's prediction, Nessen said he did not know precisely what was meant by the words "from the time we start." He said he assumes Greenspan believes some actions already have been taken and added "maybe I should say from the time we started." Nessen said Ford, who plans to attend most of the sessions and speak at both the opening and the closing ceremonies, will •have some recommendations of his own to propose. He did not say what they would be. He said both Greenspan and L. William Seidman, executive director of the summit meeting, reported a general consensus that the pre-summit discussions held throughout the country during the past two weeks"have calmed the fears" of a'major depression similar to 1932. Prostitution remains a crime;\ but patron usually goes free By BETH Bovp Collegian Staff Writer Editor's note: Following is the last of a three-part series examining prostitution in the State College area. Some of the names have been changed. The first efforts to smother her profession began 70 years ago, when the popular image oflhe prostitute was of a syphilitic nymphomaniac who ran rampant through the slums seducing weak, misguided boys. Even though the moralistic view of the 19th century has long since been abandoned, in every state except one anyone maintaining a business of prostitution is a criminal. Penalties for conviction vary from state to state. They are as slight as South Dakota's $lO fine and as severe as the five years imprisonment that threaten the prostitute in Rhode Island and lowa. In Pennsylvania, prostitution is a misdemeanor of the third degree, which means a convicted woman can be fined as much as $2500. Arrests for prostitution have been rare in State College, as in most smaller com munities across the country. State College Police Sergeant Ken neth Hannah could recall only three arrests for prostitution in the last five years. "„The crime has to have a vic tim before we really go out and work hard on it. Now if we get a complaint on it, certainly we will act upon it, but we don't send men out looking for prostitutes," Hannah said. The last conviction was in June, 1972 after a series of articles on the business of sex were published in The Daily Collegian. Two Pittsburgh women were sentenced to two days in jail by Centre County Court, and each was fined $lOO. "We really don't make a lot of arrests in, that field. If we make an arrest in that, it's because somebody called in and complained," Borough Police Officer Jones said. "Either the . . Ten cents per copy • Friday, September 27, 1974 • .

Leavenworth from Elliott's court in Columbus, Ga., and the Army has taken the stand it cannot act on the court decision until the order is in the hands of Ft. Leavenworth authorities. "The court decree called for the Army to release him (Calley) forthwith and we hoped they would release - Ifim forth with," said Kenneth Henson, one of Calley's attorneys. "WithirT a matter of three hours they released 145 convicted deserters from Leavenworth Prison pending a hearing to determine how they would qualify un der the President's clemency program." Henson noted. "I feel that Mr, Calley should be af forded equal treatment at least," Henson said. "Thpy've got a different set of rules one setlfor draft, dodgers and deserters and one set for one who willingly served and willingly obeyed orders." Calley contended fhroughout his court martial that he nierely was Obeying or ders when he and his men opened fire at My Lai, which had previously been pin pointed as Viet Cong stronghold. He initially was sentenced to life im prisonment for histrole in the massacre: but this sentence was reduced to 10 years through the military appeals process. The 31-year-old ex-soldier sought fur ther relief in civilian courts after Greenspan testified yesterday in a meeting of the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, and repeated his views that no short-term solution to inflation is in sight Greenspan apologized for his widely quoted statement last week that stockbrokers had been hurt worse. relativel speaking, by inflation than had the poor. He said he had been misinterpreted, and added the poor are suffering more " • Nessen said an announcement will be made soon on widespread reports that treasury Secretary William E Simon will become the President's economic coordinator, and Seid man will become Simon's deputy and Ford's economic policy adviser at the White House. The spokesman said Ford still is strongly oppOsed to wage price controls, and will not ask Congress for rollback author) t 3 "because you can't have rollbacks unless you hive wage and price controls." In response to a question, he quoted Seidman as saying that a tax break for the poor is one of a number of ideas under study for easing the impact of inflation on low income groups. - Nessen said he had discussed the economic outlook with both Greenspan and Seidman. Greenspan, he said, feels the greatest urgency is to reduce the present high level of inflation which strains the entire economy. He 'said Greenspan predicts that a start can be made on meeting the inflation problem, bunt will take one and a half to three years before it is brought under control. chick had some disease or he didn't get the service he paid for." One of the reasonswhy there is such a small number of arrests made is because proof is difficult to obtain. "You can be sitting in the bar and you can see the chick. You see her leave with a guy and come back in five minutes and she can leave with somebody else but you don't really know what she's doing," Jones ex plained. Even if an officer suspects the woman is a prostitute, he cannot en courage or proposition a woman to engage in sex for a price since "in tentionally causing another to become or remain a prostitute," according to state law, is also a crime. "It's pretty tough to catch one unless she actually walks up and solicits, you," Jones explained. The woman must mention money before she can be apprehended. If she does not, all evidence against her is invalid once she is in the courtroom. Police claim the best they can do is try to keep the problein under control. "They know most of the police of ficers in town," Jones said. "I wouldn't call it a working relation ship," but he added that the women realize how difficult it is for the of ficers to get sufficient incriminating evidence that will hold up in court. "I think the county handles it in the manner that it should be. Fine them. Give them probation, , and get rid of them get them out of town," Han nah said. Though laws against the prostitute herself are not strictly enforced, police put forth even less effort to 'II punish the male participant. Only six states have laws under which police may 'arrest the patron. Pennsylvania is one of them. But there has never been an arrest of a customer in State College. Sociologist Kingsley Davis believes the demand for the prostitute is so broadly based that prostitution would be harder to control if stronger action exhausting his appeals route in the military. Elliott, in striking down the Calle% sen tence, said: "If there ever has been a case in which a conviction should he set aside, this is it." The judge said Callev had been the vic tim during his trial of "unrestrained and uncontrolled" prejudical publicity, that the charges against him had been im properly drawn and that he had not been given the right to confront unfriendly xvit - nesses. In addition, Elliott contended in hi, 1.32 page ruling that the U.S. Supreme Court had decided the Calley case when it held that former President Nixon had to turn over the Watergate tapes to congressional investigators. Nixon had claimed executive privilege, but the high court ruled that the need to get at the heart of the evidence in a criminal proceeding took precedence Calley had asked for hearing tran scripts from a House Armed Services Committee that investigated the - My Lai affair, claiming they were vital to his defense. The .committee refused to turn them over on grounds of legislative privilege. "If we substitute the word 'legislative' for the words 'presidential' or 'executive,' we see that the Supreme Court in deciding the Nixon case also decided the Callev case," Elliott ruled were taken against the client - It is economically and politically foolish to punish a large number of society's productive and otherwise or derly members. It would cause more social disruption than correcting the alleged crime would be worth." I tai. ;s claims. Frequent attempts across the coun try to limit prostitution have resulted in failure, according to Davis. He said he believes the answer lies in•legali zing prostitution. There is only one part of the country that follows Davis' advice. In Nevada, prostitution may be legal if a county decides to take Advantage of this op tion offered unddlOstate law. The busiliess flourishes in 15 of Nevada's 17,cpunties. There are quite a few small . towns that welcome the revenue from such establishments. Storey County has fewer than 700 residents and the brothels' license fees provide about one fifth of the county's annual budget. Amidst all the debate about the business of sex there is one alter native that is constantly overlooked by legislators:. That of doing nothing. The National Otganization for Women and the Washington Commission on the Status of Women believe prostitution should cease to be a criminal offense. Venereal disease is the subject of the most heated debates over prghibition, legalization or decriminalization of prostitution. "Venereal disease is very low via prostitution." Dr. J. Robert Wirag of the Ritennour Health center said. "In spite of what the vast majority of people may think. Those girls are in it for the business and they have periodic cheCkups," Wirag explained. Control of venereal disease is a medical rather than legal problem, as far as Washington Commission on the Status of Women is concerned. "It is not by blaming prostitutes that VD will be controlled, but by educating the public," the commission said. obviously
