Edgar Hoover used against groups and individuals he disliked. Jerry Berman, a legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the illegal harassment Hoover used under the code name “COINTELPRO,” or counter intelligence program, is Legionnaires' PITTSBURGH (UPI) At least 14 cases of Legionnaires’ disease four of them fatal have been discovered at Veterans Administration Hospital and doctors said yesterday most of »he victims were heavy cigarette smokers. Dr. Arnold Brown, head of the hospital’s microbiology and in fectious disease department, said 11 other patients are also believed to have the disease. The discovery came to light after doctors diagnosed an > initial Legionnaires’ disease victim in February. Brown said all of the patients suffering from Legionnaires’ disease had other severe ailments. One patient had cancer and leukemia, he said. But the immediate cause of death Carter unlikely to win award STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) The year’s first Nobel Prize, the award in medicine, will be announced here today and others will follow in the next week. President Carter is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize. Overall, Americans are again considered strong candidates for this year’s prizes after capturing the lion’s share in 1978. About one-third of the Nobel awards have gone to Americans since they were first presented in 1901. Carter, whose nomination for the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize was received too late to be considered, was Pope asks obedience of nuns 4 ■ ■ .'<!? Pope John Paul // Windfall tax exemption passes WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate Finance Committee voted yesterday to exempt from the wind fall profits tax $6.5 billion worth of oil used to pay for public education in Alaska, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., tried to delete the exemption from the tax legislation, arguing it “would tran sfer wealth to certain states that happen to have oil within their boundaries.” He was defeated 12-5. State-owned oil helps pay for education in those four states. The panel also voted to phase out House looks at parole reform HARRISBURG (AP) A group of House members yesterday in troduced a bill that would put all prisoners on parole at the end of their minimum sentence, unless they misbehave in prison. By making the parole date more certain, the bill will help end the “uncertainty that is the most destructive force in our prisons,” said Rep. Joseph Rhodes, D- Allegheny, a prime sponsor of the reform. At the present time, the parole board can set a release date any time between a prisoner’s minimum and maximum sentence. Rizzo says he could win seat PHILADELPHIA (AP) Although Mayor Frank Rizzo thinks he could win the U.S. Senate seat being vacated next year by retiring Republican Sen. Richard Schweiker, Rizzo said his political future is in the hands of his wife. “I owe my family something for all the time I’ve spent away from them,” the mayor said during an hour-long interview with NBC-TV talk-show host Tom Snyder. The interview was telecast early yesterday on the “Tomorrow” show. “If my wife says go, I’ll go,” Rizzo said. “If my wife says no, I’ll talk to her a little bit more.” forbidden in guidelines outlined by former Attorney General Edward Levi. But Berman said the proposed charter does not contain such a ban, and that it should because the nation needs a law protecting organizations not doing anything illegal. Berman’s view, presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee, was supported by spokesmen from the Center for National Security Studies, a Washington study group. disease kills 4 in all four cases was believed to be Legionnaires’ disease, he said. “All of the 14 confirmed cases in volved men between the ages of 29 and 98,” Brown said. “They were all veterans. The average age was about 60. Most of the patients had a significant smoking history.” disease got its name in July 1976 when it struck a large number of persons attending an American Legion meeting in Philadelphia. Brown said many of the cases might have gone unidentified if doctors had not been on the lookout for the disease. “We are in the midst of intensive reasearcn,” he said. “Legionnaires’ disease is not new, just a disease we have not recognized in the past. It primarily strikes men, older men. nominated this year well before the Feb. 1 deadline. There are 56 nominees, including 37 individuals and 19 organizations, for the prize shared last year by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem ■Begin for their Mideast peace efforts. Observers in Oslo, where the peace prize is awarded, said they consider it unlikely that Carter would win this year for his Camp David summit, which led to the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. It • was doubtful the award would again be decided over the Mideast issue, they said. VATICAN CITY (UPI) Pope John Paul II carried the message of his U.S. “voyage of faith” home to Italy yesterday and called on Roman Catholic nuns to carry out their mission obediently, without bit- - terness over the ban on women priests. ;; -The pontiff- directed. . a special v message to 600 nuns in a crowd of 100 -000 persons gathered 'in St. Peter’s Square for the first general papal audience since his return. Vatican analysts said John Paul’s remarks were a firm, stern response to American nuns who challenged his defense of the ban on the ordination of women. The nuns at St. Peter’s Square, most of them Italian and more conservative than their American sisters, applauded - him strongly. the windfall tax once it captures 90 percent of the. revenues projected from it between 1980 and 1990. The revenues will go to the U.S. Treasury. The committee’s decision on the education exemption was a setback for New Jersey Gov. Brendan Byrne and his National Citizens’ Coalition for the Windfall Profits Tax, which is pressing for a heavy tax. In its present form, the windfall profits tax legislation the committee has devised would capture only $65 billion half the revenue President Carter sought. In addition, the panel has voted spending plans that would use up $65 billion of the revenues. Rhodes said that once a prisoner knows definitely when he will be released, rehabilitation programs may have more effect. Under the present system, inmates sometimes enter a rehabilitation program simply to “put on a good show for the parole board” in order to get out of prison as soon as possible after serving their minimum sen tences. “I’m not saying that an inmate will come out of prison infinitely better (under the new system),” Rhodes said. “That is a myth ... obviously prisons are not schools or hospitals, and they sometimes teach people the worst lessonsof criminal behavior. Rizzo had said earlier that he was giving serious consideration to running for the Senate seat. Three Democrats and two Republicans have announced they will be can didates, or have formed exploratory committees for a campaign for the seat. “I am confident that if I made that move I would be successful,” Rizzo, a Democrat, told Snyder. On another subject, the mayor said he was disturbed that the U.S. Justice Department’s brutality suit against the Philadelphia Police Department would not be heard while he is mayor.
