EDITORIALS 1 • I, „ Dishonest Reporting Sad as it is to relate, responsible newspapers must repudiate the growing volume of inaccurate and dishonest reporting which feeds the growing scandal and feature boom in the U.S. press. Prime Minister Trudeau recently remarked that of all the alleged interviews with his separated wife since their parting none had any basis in fact, nor had any been the result of an interview Former President Nixon recently remarked over a hundred people quoted in a book about him had written him that what was attributed to them was false. That was after the money had been made. Unfortunately there are newspaper reporters who write to sell. If they exaggerate, or sensationalize, and sell-and even become famous, that supposedly excuses their literary license. But newspaper reporters, unlike novelists, have no literary license. The U.S. press has been, relatively, more responsible than the press in foreign countries, where notorious sensationalism is rampant. But in recnet years the trend toward inside sensational reading--scandal, crime, and corruption-has spurred newsmen on to greater and greater daring, and sometimes irresponsibilitv. Summer Tragedies Summer officially began June 21, and again it is time to swim and sail and enjoy the warm weather. This summer thousands will be involved in boating accidents, drownings and avoidable tragedies. Some who read this editorial will take a foolish chance and might lose their lives as a result. If you are not a good swimmer, or if you are out of shape, you should be cautious about taking rides or going fishing in crowded boats or in questionable weather. Water is deceptively dangerous for human beings. It appears so harmless few of us realize how quickly we can drown. The surprising thing to so many safety experts is the number of non-swimmers who take chances in boats, without life preservers. Keep safety and prudence in mind as you go about your vacation. Carelessness can cost you your life.

Right now, the 200-foot long tuna boats are searching the Pacific for yellowfin tuna. » As in previous years, the huge fleets will again, be using a tuna fisning technique which kills tens ' of thousands of dolphins in the process and which could lead to the eventual extinction of these marine creatures. The technique is called "purse-seine fishing" and has been used extensively By the tuna industry since the late 1950's. This relatively new and sophisticated method involves the use of huge nylon nets to "round-up" and gather in enormous schools of tuna. Unfortunately, this new "marvel of efficiency" spells massive death for dolphins. Entire dolphin families swim and feed with yellowfin tuna (the light meat tuna you find at the grocery store). Conveniently, the jtuna boats follow the dolphins and when a large enough school is sighted, enormous nylon nets, reaching out more than Vt mile, are set in place by smaller speedboats. Finally, powerful winches begin to draw in the netted tuna along with the trapped dolphin. In the process, hundreds -even thousands~of dolphins panic, go into shock, and die. This procedure is methodically followed over and over, day after day, for each catch of yellowfin tuna. And, each time, more dolphins are mutilated and killed. It is a destructive technique, and it is pitiful to see small baby dolphins huddle with their confused and injured mothers - all drowning in the process • because their highly developed family loyalty prevents them from leaving each other. Why does the tuna industry insist on killing vast numbers of dolphins? The answer is simple: It is efficient and profitable to do so. And besides, the Marine Mammal Protection act of 1972, which requires the protection of all sea mammals, is not being enforced. The law is weak, but the bureaucrats weaken it further by looking the other way. The House of Representatives has just passed a bill, sponsored by Congressman John Murphy (D-N.Y.) which would increase the number of dolphins the tuna fisherman can kill for the remainder of this year from 59,050 to 68,910. Without the vigorous campaign waged by the Fund for Animals and other conservation groups, and without the efforts of Rep. Paul McCloskey (R-Calif.) which succeeded in greatly improving the original Murphy bill, the kill quota would have been 78,900. The iiext days and weeks will be crucial. Do three things: 1 - Write to Senator Warren Magnuson (D-Wash), chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, and Senate Majority Whip Alan Crantson (D-Calif) two of the key senators in the fight to have it improved further, and tell them to oppose the increased kill quotas in House Bill 6970 ; 2 - Send a postcard to President Carter to the same effect; 3 - Send as generous a contribution as possible to the Fund for Animals' National Campaign To Save the Dolphin".

"I am writing concerning the International Woman's Year conferences which I consider to be a national disgrace parallel to Watergate, involving $5 million of federal monies collected from U.S. citizens in the form of taxation. "At stake is the integrity of the vote in our governmental elections. This is the basis for our whole system of govern­ ment. "IWY is funded by federal monies of $5 million dollars with another current request for $3 million pending for IWY before Congress. "IWY state conferences are being held to elect delegates and pass out resolutions to be held before the Legislative bodies and the people as the thinking and will of the American women on varied issues. It therefore attempts to superimpose on the general election process and alter that process. "This affects the rights of every elector who has voted for legislative offices. "IWY is a governmental body, conducting elections, to affect the policy of this country. "My involvement with IWY was, as candidate for election for national IWY delegate from Illinois and vote watcher for other candidates of varied backgrounds in a hotly con­ tested election for a value system, and as a leader for this value system in resolution voting. "The IWY conducting these conferences is supposed to be a representative body of varying viewpoints. It is not and the official IWY slate reflected that. "A slate of candidates was offered as an alternative voting choice to more accurately reflect the thinking of the women of Illinois. "In Illinois, to my personal knowledge, uniformity of rules essential to election and vote integrity was not adhered to governing: A--who would run for delegate; when nominations would be taken; where nominations would be taken. These were changed repeatedly. And B--who would be qualified to vote and who would not were changed in such a manner as to alter the out­ come of the vote. "Parliamentary procedure was misused against a naive group of participarf^*. "Microphones for addressing the chair were policed, preventing bringing to the attention of the chair and the body the fact that votes were not being counted on resolution voting. "Request for vote verification by individual count was denied. • "Delegate election was conducted by balloting. "I was the watcher and recognized by the election committee as such watcher for myself and other candidates. I was prevented by the legal counsel of national IWY from watching and verifying the following: "1--The instructions for reprogramming the computer as to what it would record. I was told that certain votes would not be recorded by the computer. "Fifty-eight delegates were to be elected with five runners- up as alternates, making a total of sixty-three. Voters were to vote for only fifty-eight names. "There was confusion among voters as to how many to vote for--58 or 63. Therefore, some votes were arbitrarily prevented from being recorded and on other ballots there could be no check as to validity or if they were overvoted and therefore void. "2--1, as watcher, was prevented by legal counsel of national IWY from seeing and verifying the following: Any votes recorded; any totals of ballots cast; any totals of candidates' votes; any transfer of totals to names; any record of number of votes voided. "It is an insult to women in general and to the women from all over Illinois who stood in SECTION 2-PAGE5-PLAINSai vn . WFTVMFSnAV JUNE 29. 1977 Frank J. Geister, P.O.

"This situation would not be tolerated in any other govern­ mental election. It is a national disgrace. "If this system can be used here, it can be used anywhere and our whole system of government is subject to vote rigging and falsification. "Women are entitled to the same integrity of the vote as anyone else. "An investigation should be held and IWY conferences suspended and no more monies appropriated until provisions are made to conduct elections on resolutions and delegates which meet the standards of voting integrity used in other governmental elections. "The Illinois IWY conference held sixteen workshops. Per­ sons attending the conference were told they could sign up and attend only one. "Sunday morning a full meeting was held for voting on all resolutions supposedly coming out of these workshops. "Immediately before the meeting the resolutions were distributed but only to every other person or one half of those in attendance. "Resolutions consisted of thirty-nine pages. Some resolutions referred to outside materials that were not available. „ "I requested time (one half hour) to review these resolutions which oniy half of the assembly had. This was not permitted. Instead, they were brought to an immediate vote. "Pro and con speakers were allowed on some resolutions. However, without time to read the resolutions, it was an im­ possible situation. " I was informed by some who were in attendance at one ot ine workshops that the resolutions presented from their workshop had been changed. There was no time to check it out. •> "Under these circumstances kind general circumstances of the voting situation, the people of Illinois, the Congress and the Legislatures of the states, should not consider resolutions passed at the IWY conference in Illinois as reflecting the thinking of the women of Illinois. ... «.
