PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNKSDAY, MAY 26. 1»76 KEYSTONE COPS EPISODE LEAVES THREE INJURED (Continued from page 1) after he identified himself as a state trooper. Burton, who was driving the pickup trikk, put it in reverse at a high rat# of speed and tried to hit Keenum as he was walking on Depot street. The venicle struck him on the right side and Keenum grabbed the tailgate &nd clung to it. The truck continued in reverse and hit a traffic control sign and then a concrete post. The impact of the latter crash threw the trooper from the vehicle, which then proceeded to leave the scene. At this time, Trooper Keenum fired his gun at the rear of the fleeing vehicle. He then maintained custody of two other suspects until assistance arrived. It was reported one of the fleeing offenders had been wounded and investigation led police to a motel room in Hampshire. From this room, one offender, Burton, was taken to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, by the Marengo Rescue squad. He was treated and admitted to the hospital for small cuts received from glass particles. The original victim, Schiller, displayed facial cuts and bruises but was not hospitalized. At the Sheriff's department, investigation into the matter was turned over to Illinois State Police and to the McHenry County State's Attorney's of­ fice. WAYWARD WAIF WHIZBANG (Continued from page 1) avoid the final charge of the "wild cow." Jack Rehorst, deputy ad­ ministrator of the McHenry County Animal Control center, and his crew of men were called to round up the animal. He indicated it usually takes a large dose of tranquilizers and several hours time before the heifer calms down. Rehorst surmized that the cow's behavior may have been caused when it ate some locoweed or came in contact with fresh paint, causing a type of lead poisoning.

BOAT PASSENGER HURT AS CRUISER STRIKES CRAFT (Continued from page 1) control of his car Saturday night about 11 o'clock. Eltherington told county deputies an animal appeared in his traffic lane as he was east- bound on Bull Valley road. When he swerved to^ avoid hitting the animal, he lost control of his car and ran onto the Schmelzer lawn. No one was injured in an ac­ cident which occurred Sunday morning about 6:30 at 2904 W. Route 120 when a car driven by Bruce E. Koepke of 1005 N. River road, McHenry, was hit in the rear while turning into a driveway. Jeffrey W. Johnson of 5611 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, told county police he started to pass the slow moving Koepke car when it turned left into his path and they collided. Koepke reported his turn signals were in operation prior to the collision. When Debra A. Oldham of 2703 W. Kashmiri, McHenry, lost control of her car while driving on Hill road in Kent acres, it traveled into the driveway of the Randy Norgard residence at 5317 N.

Ms. Oldham reported she was east-bound on Hill Saturday night about 9:45 When a motorcyclist in front of her applied his brakes. She stopped suddenly and lost her glasses as well as control of the car. The parked truck is owned by William Fallsher of 9213 Clark road, Richmond.

Peggy R. Glus of 905 An- nabelle, McHenry, told deputies she saw a car with its turn signals on as she rounded a curve. She applied her brakes, hit some loose gravel, left the road and hit the fence and a tree. Sunday afternoon, Robert J. Conley of 1112 Adams, Wauconda, was north-bound on Wilmot road when he noticed the stop sign at the intersection of Ringwood road.

PERCY: 'MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT" (Continued from page 1) around the country told him they were tired of government. The Vietnam war turned them off, the CIA, the IRS, the FBI, all the abuses of Watergate, have also turned them off. He was even told, "All you guys in politics are a bunch of crooks." "Well, there are some crooks in politics, Percy agreed, but noted there are crooks in business, and other areas and some people even cheat on their income tax. "All through life there are people who are less than the most admirable but I can assure you of this, I have found as high a level of integrity in public life as in any other phase of American life," the Senator emphasized. He told the young people they shouldn't "copout" of the political process and not participate actively "just because you think some people of less than perfect character are engaged in politics." "You should participate more and vote them out of office if you don't agree with their ideas or their principles or their character," Percy stressed. "Don't be a copout in the political system we have. Make your voice count. Ted Kennedy and I fought for three years on an agreement to amend the Constitution of the United States. We felt if we could send 18-year-olds to Vietnam to fight a war, they ought to have the right to vote for the guys who sent them out there," Percy said. His remarks were an­ swered with a roar of applause and shouts of approval. He pointed out that young men and young women were the revolutionaries in this country who gave us our in- deDendence. Tom Payne, Lewis and tlark, Thomas Edison, Charles Lindberg and Martin Luther King were some young people cited by Percy for their contributions to the in­ dependence and freedom of the country'. "When I look at just my ten years in the Senate, when I think who it was that really halted the Vietnam war, it was young people," the Senator said. "Who was it that started Earth day? It was young people. It was also young people who decided to fight for a decent environment to have dean air and water for our­ selves and for our children," he related. Percy also credited young people who in the 50's and 60's went South in the summer and fought to get the blacks registered because they felt the Constitution meant everyone should have the right to vote. The Senator presented several issues to the student body which had come for a vote before the Senate. He asked for Tjh Oliou!

Should we pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for women? The girls voted aye but the nays of the boys resounded louder in the gymnasium so Percy declared, "The nays have it." He said he voted for it. 2. Should we have a volunteer Army - no draft, no con­ scription? The ayes had it overwhelmingly. 3. If we have ERA, should we draft both men and women? The ayes had it, with nays expressed by a small number of girls. Percy said he voted for it. "I feel what's good for the goose is good for the gander," he said. He felt 90 percent of all the jobs in the military could be handled equally well by men and women, if not more. 4. Do you think we should have strict hand gun control, not on rifles, just strictly hand guns? The ayes won over­ whelmingly. "I think you are right," Percy commented. Senator Percy was in­ troduced by Senior Class President Craig Smith. Co- president Ellen Quinlan han­ dled the question and answer portion of the program. THE SENATOR GIVES VIEWS (Continued from page 1) thirty-one of them roaming under the seas at all times, that cannot even be found by our own intelligence services, with their missiles trained on the Soveit Union. We could blow up the Soviet Union twenty times over. We've got enough fire power to kill every Soviet, every Chinese, ten times over. How many more times do we need to do it? Henry Kissinger is not about to undercut the strength of this country. And the longest strategic committee on Armed Forces just day before yesterday, declared without any equivocation, the United States Military Force is the most powerful, im­ penetrable military force on earth today and we're going to keep it that way. But don't let anyone ever undercut us or sell us short. Q. Will the government take any action on the continued rising price of gasoline? A. The cost of gasoline is going to stay up and will probably increase rather than decrease over a period of time. Oil and petroleum products are a depleting product. We are using up resources which you can t replace. It takes millions, of years to replace fossil fuels and we are using them up. The oil producing countries air? not going to seduce their price. Aftpr all, .Iran will run out of oil in about seventeen years, they won't have any left. So they are going to keep the price as high as they can. For the first time last month, the United States imported more than we were able to produce. Despite these high prices, our production is going down not up. Therefore, why should the price come down if we are using those resources up. We ought to keep the price up on a depleting resource so we have incentive to develop solar energy, wind energy and other forms of energy which, in the end, will be abundant and will not take a million years to create such as the fossil fuels.

Rte. 120 Phone:. fc^JcHenr^|^^j85^0783 there will always be wind. And last night in Huntsville at the University of Alabama, I at­ tended a conference by some of our most noted scientists on solar energy. They are excited about it. But if gasoline prices went back to 20 cents a gallon, we couldn't afford to develop solar energy because we are underpricing gasoline. I think we have to keep the gasoline prices high in order to pay for research on all of these other kinds of more exotic and futuristic types of energy. Politically, it is nice to come out for a low gasoline price but I can tell you as a matter of national interest, we are not going to have a lower price. It will go up rather than down. Q. If former Governor Kerner was convicted and found guilty by a jury and his appeal was denied by the courts, why is everyone so interested in getting him a pardon? A. I supported, very strongly, parole for former Gov. Kerner. I then supported, very strongly, a presidential pardon for him. I would advocate a posthumous pardon for him if I could find any precedent for it. I do so for the following reasons. I think some of you know he was my opponent in 1964. I ran against him and he defeated me that particular year so I got to know the man quite well. He was a man who had spent his entire life in public service. He was a General in the Army, a Governor of the state and he was a federal judge. He is the only federal judge in the history of our country ever to have been convicted and sent to prison. He purchased a race track stock from a long time, life time friend of his. She was the owner of a race track and she gave it to him at a reduced price. To this day, she swears to me there was never any crime involved. She just wanted to help the Governor. But the Governor made a terrible mistake. He should have realized--and he was a lawyer--he should have realized that in public office, you can't make that kind of a mistake. He committed the crime and he was convicted for it and sent to prison. He had paid his price. He had paid a very stiff price. His defense cost him every penny he ever owned and had in life. His wife died. His children, both son and daughter, fought to get a parole for him and they exhausted their resources in so doing. We give paroles all the time for all kinds of crimnais and he served seven months in a Federal Penitentiary. Now, seven months for a white collar crime in which there was no other victim of any kind, he just happened to make some money illegally in the end. To this day, I confess he felt it was not an illegal activity but the jury said it was. But when a man is dying of cancer and he's had a lifetime of public service but made one tragic mistake...the whole idea of a presidential pardon is forgiveness. It is to say, you have paid your price. Do you know how many presidential pardons have been given in the last six years? One thousand presidential pardons. President Ford says he gets stacks of them this big to sign at a time for all kinds of crimes. Virtually, all of them, 999 of them, are all worst crimes than were committed by for- A-l HEARING AID SERVICE Free Loaners - Complete Service on all Makes Custom Earmolds-30 Day Trial on New Aids Try Before You Buy!

He made this mistake He was Governor. He took the advice of a financial advisor who is now serving in jail for giving that advice. But I think there is a distinction between a man who gives that advice and a man who then took it but had an unblemished career through his entire lifetime up to that point. And so for that reason I requested a presidential pardon. It was not granted before he died, un­ fortunately. But at least his family and his friends know that we tried. And the Justice department waived the 5-Year waiting period. The Justice department strongly felt there were enough extenuating circumstances in this par­ ticular case to warrant it. Now that doesn't mean when you get a pardon that it in any way relieves you of the fact that you committed a crime. In fact, you can't have a pardon unless you admit that you have committed that crime, and you are simply seeking forgiveness, having paid the penalty of having served in a prison. So it is a remedy that the con­ stitution guarantees we shall have available to the President if he feels the circumstances warrant it. And in this case, a victimless crime where no one was hurt but Gov. Kerner, I felt after having served in the federal penitentiary and having lost all that he did, in the final weeks of his life he ought to have the feeling that there was some difference between his crime and street crimes where there are victims, whether they be raped or murdered or maimed or slaughtered, that there's a difference in those kinds of crimes.
