Wednesday. October 19. 1977 The Evening Sentinel, Carlisle, Pa. 29 Bv VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD PI i -Katherine Uelmond. one of the stars of the outrageous new comedy series "Soap," is trying to square her reputation with her Texas family for the unfaithful wife she plays in- the show.

The show is largely a collection of sex jokes and intramural bedroom hopping among a bunch of neurot it-zanies. The stories and characters are all in fun, but a large segment of the population clearly takes its television sex seriously. Katherine's own Roman Catholic family in Galveston was shocked to learn that she would be playing a married woman who goes to bed ith a handsome young tennis pro ho also has seduced her daughter. Meanwhile, her husband is having a torrid affair with his secretary who is also blackmailing him. Some wags thought the series should be refilled "All In The Kamily." Miss Hulmond.

a lookalike for Julie Harris, is a Iragile. timid individual who would appear to be the last woman on earth tempted to cheat on her husband. She also is convinced that "Soap" reflects more of real life contretemps than most people are willing to admit. Katherine. ho leads a sedate married life with sculp torhusband David Christian in New York, was amazed at the outrage "Soap" elicited from church gi'oups and watch and ward societies even More it went on the air.

"1 as really surprised hen 1 started getting telephone calls from my relatives." she said in a quiet, cultured voice without a trace of Texan. grandmother, who is nearly 90. was terribly upset. She called to say that her priest had asked the congregation not to watch the show. She wanted to know what 1 was up to.

"She had read someplace where a priest in the show is seduced right in the church, which wasn't true at all. "Then my mother was on the phone. She asked. 'Do you take your clothes 1 reassured her the show as a comedy and that I'd be doing nothing bad. Then she said.

"Well. I didn't think you'd do anything dirty' Katherine's grandmother ignored her priest's admonition and tuned in the first episode of "Soap" to see what mischief her granddaughter as causing on the network. She hasn't missed an episode since. "Grandmother telephoned again." Katherine said. "She told me that our show wasn't nearly as rough as the daytime soap operas she's been watching for 25 years.

"1 never see the daytime serials myself But so far on our show there are four extramarital relationships going on. including a homosexual liaison between my nephew and a football player.

wage law has played a lug part in reversing this situat ion. The Davis-Bacon Act. which allows the federal government to set minimum wages for federally funded construction jobs, was conceived in lir.il, he said, as a way to lorce contractors to hire white labor at higher wages instead ot nonunion Negroes and to force out of business nonunion contractors, manv of them black. Williams said the speculative medallion taxieab license situations in New York.

The strongly worded views of Dr. Walter Williams have not endeared him to the NAACP or most other prominent black leaders. Nor have the prominent black leaders earned a high place in Dr. Williams' esteem.

He told United Press International the NAACP and nearly all the blacks in Congress are dependent on financial support from the "white liberal establishment and don't really represent the interests of black people. Williams said while the reactions of black leaders to his views have been highly negative, "I have had much support from black groups. The professor's bete noir is the minimum wage law. He said it is largely responsible for high unemployment among young blacks because "it sets a labor price so high it makes it uneconomical for firms to hire and train the least skilled individuals among whom blacks are a disproportionate share." Williams charged that President George Meany and the top leaders of the AFL-CIO support a minimum wage increase largely as a device to keep less skilled blacks out of work. He said that as late as 1948, the jobless rate for black youths was less than the rate for white youths and the minimum the medallion price there now is S.iu.oou," Williams said.

He charged there is a curious parallel between the use of the minimum wage law in the United States and "in racist South Att "South Africans were paying black labor as little as cents an hour against nearly $2 for white workers doing the same job," he said, "but in those trades where the white unions wanted the blacks out, they succeeded in getting special wage equality laws passed. Faced with the choice of paying blacks the same as whites or firing them, the employers fired the blacks," he said. "Now that George Meany has got Congress to raise the minimum wage again. 1 predict the AKL-CIl) will use that to launch another round of big wage boosts." Williams said. TAMPA, FLA.

(UPI Two years ago Ida was an orphan.

Barely 6 months old, she traveled 800 miles with her foster parents across the plains and mountains of the West. Now, though not completely mature. Ida is the "old lady" among a select group seeking a new home. Ida is a whooping crane, one of only about 120 in the world. She and her peers are the largest birds in North America and.

until recently, her kind appeared doomed to extinction. Her brilliant white plumage shining in the bright sun, Ida flew into New Mexico's central Kio Grande Valley this fall, ending an 800-mile migration from Idaho. With her came a new member of a tiny flock of whoopors. Ida and her companion were the first of an experimental flock of whooping cranes to arrive at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge this fall. Tom Smylie of the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service said six or seven more hoopors are expected. The two birds arrived at Bosque del Apache last weekend alter migrating from their nesting grounds at Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho. The rest of the flock has stopped at a refuge near Monte Vista, and will continue to Bosque del Apache later. The Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to establish the Western flock of whoppers to protect the bird, hich stands four feet tall. The main flock, once numbering in the thousands, migrates each year 2,450 miles from northern Canada to Texas' Gulf Coast.

The birds in the experimental flock were hatched from eggs taken from the main flock. The eggs were placed with sandhill crane foster parents at Grays Lake, with the hope the fledglings would adopt the migration patterns of the sandhills. Ida first came to New Mexico with three other whoopers in 1975. The flock grew to six last year and wildlife officials hope it will increase to eight or nine this year. Smylie said it will be several more years before biologists know if the experiment is successful.

The test will be completed when the mature whoopers mate and have their own offspring and continue the migration. 000 oooooo oooooooo oooooooooooooooo 0 0 STOREWIDE 0 yfy ,22, 1-NfcCKbANoCOWLb COAT 'V WELCOME TO THE STRIPS AND SOLIDS 0099 0 0 0 0 0 0 77 KVttm LONG LEATHER ill II 99 STARTING AT And Up 2 JJlftv SHORT LEATHEr69 IfWi 1Q99 SKI JACKET I OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQOO And Up OOOO0000OOO0O0OO00OOOO0CACUM HrN.Nr.N r.AinppA, I Wf-ihwitt. 0 ySWi rt (15 JUNIOR AND MISSES SLACKS PRICES STARTING AT Ml 99 99 0 0 OF CARLISLE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT NEWLY DECORATED AND RENOVATED WITH NEW REAR ENTRANCE YOU CAN SHOP FROM EITHER PARKING AREA- SCHOOL SUPPLIES and CHILDREN BOOKS PAPERBACK BOOKS, BEST SELLING HARDCOVERS -COMPLETE LINE OF MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS COMPLETE LINE OF HALLMARK CARDS CANDLES and ACCESSORIES PARTY GOODS -STATIONARY-ALBUMS FRIENDLY, PLEASANT AND HELPFUL SALES STAFF WAITING TO SERVE YOU Carlisle Plaza Mall East High Street ft York Rood Phone: 249-3500 Opn: Mondoy Saturday A.M. lo P.M.
