Republican disclaims bitterness OZZIE OSBORNE Senior Writer The chairman of President Ford's campaign in Virginia said today he can see no bitterness creeping into the fight over delegates and expressed hope there'll be a Ford-Reagan ticket in November. "There's no evidence of it," said Stanford E. Parris when asked to comment on possible bitterness resulting from criticism some supporters of Ronald Reagan have aimed at delegates who've recently joined the Ford camp.
Parris said "everyone is entitled to make up his own don't know why anyone would be upset over something like that." He was replying specifically to criticism made of Willard Forbes, whom many Reaganites claim was elected as a Reagan delegate. But Forbes came out for Ford shortly after attending a state dinner in Washington on the invitation of the President. Forbes, 4th District Republican chairman, said the dinner invitation had nothing to do with his coming out for Ford. He said the delegate battle wasn't even discussed. Like many other Virginia Republicans, Parris, a former congressman, wants a Ford-Reagan ticket to develop--and he's hopeful it will.
In referring to Reagan, he said, "if I had to guess, I'd guess he'd take it" (the No. 2 spot). Parris made his comment with the anticipation that Ford will get the nomination and offer Reagan the vice presidential nomination. In noting that Reagan has said positively he'll not take the No. 2 spot if it's offered, Parris said, "he had to say that." He said if Reagan agreed now to accept the vice presidential nomination, it would give the idea he'd be content with that and it would severely harm any chance he has of getting the presidential nomination.
Nationwide, most delegates to the Republican National Convention say they'd like to see former Texas Gov. John Connally get the vice presidential nomination, but Parris did not seem particularly happy over that prospect. "You have to worry a little about a recent convert," he said. He was referring to the fact that Connally switched from the Democratic to the Republican party. Parris said a favorite of his for the vice presidential nomination, if the Ford-Reagan ticket doesn't develop, is Sen.
Howard Baker of Tennessee. Baker also is liked for the vice presidential nomination by many others in the 51-member Republican delegation from Virginia. camps announce roster openings Camp Roanoke for boys, operated by the Central YMCA, has several openings in day and resident camps.

Holton speaker A. Linwood Holton, former governor of Virginia, will speak Wednesday at dedication ceremonies of the Southwestern Virginia Training Center for the mentally retarded at Hillsville. His 2 p.m. address will follow a morning meeting of the State Mental Health and Mental Retardation Board. WASHINGTON (AP) Some congressmen are afraid the government's growing interest in computer efficiency may rob Americans of their right to privacy, but a top federal policy-maker says Uncle Sam is not related to Big Brother.
The question is basic: Is the government building a computer network that will some day permit an unauthorized bureaucrat to pull out all the government's information on any citizen military record, health history, possible criminal background, financial data? No, says Theodore Puckorious, head of federal computer policy as the General Services Administration chief of automated data and telecommunications service. Maybe, says Rep. John E. Moss, D- Calif. The efficiency-privacy debate was heated in 1974 when Congress made the GSA back down on a proposed nationwide computer linkup called Fednet.
This time focal point is a little-publicized change in a GSA computer system, described as "small potatoes" by Puckorious. Moss, one of the most outspoken critics of federal computer policy, charges that the proposed system linked to existing computer capabilities "poses significant potential for abuse." Puckorious is not proposing an entirely new computer system but a $472,000 improvement, or, as the GSA says, "correction" of ARS, the government's 5-yearold, multimillion dollar Advanced Record System. A spokesman for Rep. Tom Steed, D- chairman of a House Appropriations subcommittee, asks simply, "Why do we need it?" Hugh Eaton Ex-Roanoker promoted by paper group NORFOLK Hugh Eaton, formerly of Roanoke, has been named vice presidentpersonnel of Landmark Communications, Inc. He will succeed Cameron Gregory, who will retire at the end of the month to begin a new career teaching in the English Department of the Virginia Beach campus of Tidewater Community College.
Frank Batten, chairman of the board of Landmark, announced the retirement of Gregory, who joined the firm in 1946 as a reporter for the Norfolk Virginian Pilot, and the appointment of Eaton, who is treasurer of Landmark. Conrad Hall, director of management information, has been named Eaton's successor. Gregory, 57, advanced to assistant city editor for the Virginian Pilot before becoming personnel director of the Ledger-Star and the Virginian Pilot in 1955. He spent the past 20 years in personnel work and became corporate personnel director in 1966 and vice president- -personnel in 1972. His duties involved personnel assistance to both of Landmark's Norfolkbased newspapers as well as WTAR RadioTV Telecable Times-World Corp.
in Roanoke and the Greensboro News Co. in North Carolina. "Cam's contribution to Landmark has been extremely large," Batten said. "I am sure there is no one in our company whose counsel and friendship will be missed more than his." Gregory is a graduate of Furman University and did graduate study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management. He has been a member of the advisory committee to Old Dominion University's Institute of Management and a past president of the Newspaper Personnel Relations Association.
Eaton's new duties will involve providing personnel assistance and advice to all of Landmark's newspapers, broadcasting stations and telecable. 'The duties include assistance with management development, employe training, manpower planning and coordination of personnel policies. He came to the corporate staff of Landmark as financial analyst in August 1970. Prior to that he was assistant treasurer and assistant to the president of Times-World Corp. in Roanoke.
He was named director of management information in May 1971 and in April 1973 was elected treasurer. Hall joined the corporate staff as financial analyst in May 1971. Prior to that he was research director of WTAR Radio-TV Corp. He became director of management information in April 1973. Court backs reporters on testifying RICHMOND (AP) A federal appeals court, admittedly walking a thin line between "two conflicting persuasions," has upheld the right of two West Virginia newspaper reporters to refuse to testify in a court proceeding.
The opinion by the 4th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, made public today, vacated contempt of court citations against Andrew Gallagher and Rick Steelhammer, reporters for the Charleston, W. Gazette. But the court emphasized it was not according any broad privilege, absolute or qualified, that might be used to guide newsmen in the future.
It indicated it threw out the contempt citations principally because the information the newsmen declined to give was not known solely to them but could have been obtained from many other persons. While covering a wildcat coal mine walkout that idled some 80,000 miners in a half-dozen Appalachian states last August and September, Gallagher and Steelhammer attended a meeting of the strikers. Subsequently they were subpoenaed by the Kanawha Coal Operators Association to testify against two of the striking miners. When they refused to testify, U. S.
District Court Judge Kenneth K. Hall cited them for contempt and ordered them jailed immediately. They were released on bond a few hours later. A week later, in another hearing, Hall offered to drop the contempt charges if the reporters would agree to testify in the future if called upon. They remained silent a second time, and filed an appeal.
The two newsmen contended that their testimony would be tantamount to becoming spies for the coal industry. They said also that if they testified. their news sources would quickly vanish. "It patches up some shortcomings in the service provided by Western Union under the original contract," a GSA spokesman said. He said there was no substantive change in the system's capabilities, but merely speeds up the computer services and expands its capacity.
Because the change is termed a correction, the says it does, not need congressional approval, as on a whole new system. decision on the proposal rests with the Ford administration. While many government agencies are tied into the ARS, Puckorious said that most of them have no capabilities of swapping information. "The ARS has been designed to interconnect with the Veterans Administration and Social Security Administration computers," General Services Administrator Jack Eckert said in a July 14 letter to Moss. "The Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, Civil Service Commission, are not using the system" as part of a data base, he said.
But Moss suggests that such on-line accessibility by these agencies could be the next step, and he criticizes the GSA's failure to keep Congress informed on just what computer changes are planned. The proposed ARS improvement, he wrote Eckert, "could be abused from a privacy standpoint in an almost infinite variety of ways." Eckert has said that extensive privacy safeguards will "ensure that unauthorized terminals are blocked" from access to an agency's computers. And Puckorious adds: "We are not in the Big Brother business. In fact, we are working to stay out of it." State Carter alters stance on business taxation PLAINS, Ga. (AP) Jimmy Carter, who once advocated eliminating tax incentives which encourage American firms to manufacture products abroad, is assuring business leaders that he intends to retain one of the major tax advantages they have when investing overseas.
At a luncheon Thursday in New York, he told 52 executives from some of the nation's largest corporations that he favored retaining the foreign tax credit that allows American companies a U.S. tax credit for income taxes paid to foreign companies. The credit avoids double taxation by the United States and the foreign country, the Democratic presidential candidate said. Carter said he believes the loss of jobs in the United States caused by U.S. companies locating overseas is offset by the creation of jobs when foreign companies invest in the United States.
His statements on foreign investments appears to be a shift in his earlier position on the subject. He has said before that he supported elimination of tax incentives "encouraging American corporations to manufacture products in foreign countries when their own employes in this country are out of work." He said he was inclined to do away with tax deferrals, another tax break for corporations abroad. Deferrals allow companies operating overseas to pay no taxes on income earned abroad until that money is brought back to the United States. He returned to Plains Thursday night and planned to spend today quietly at Rosanne Fortner Ex-county teacher competition winner with energy game Rosanne Fortner, a former Roanoke County science teacher who is a doctoral student in science education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, was one of the 10 national winners in the teacher competition on energy materials sponsored by the National Science Teachers Association. The competition, part of an NSTA project to develop classroom materials on energy education themes, was financially supported by the Federal Energy Research and Development Administration.
Mrs. Fortner's entry involved a roleplaying game developed with her oceanography class at Hidden Valley Intermediate School. The game, called "Black Gold," centered on the problems and choices available to Virginia in developing off-shore oil resources and costal refineries. Mrs. Fortner, the only winner in Virginia, will receive an honorarium and free trip to Washington, where she will serve as a consultant to the NSTA on energy education curriculum development.
home, continuing his study of issues and strategy for the fall campaign. In his speech to the corporate officials, Carter proclaimed Thursday, "I will be a friend to business. His message to reporters had a different emphasis. At a news conference earlier, Carter said he favors complete tax reform, consumerism and the "elimination of special privileges for people who have been economically or politically powerful." Those positions are not incompatible, he maintained later, saying it would be possible for him to act both as a champion of big business and the consumer if elected president. He told the business leaders he plans a total income tax overhaul, if he is elected president, but he said it would be a slow and cautious process.
"I would not make any substantive change in tax laws until at least a full year of very careful study of the implications of those changes as they relate to international trade. he said. He added that it was not fair to make the business community, multinational corporations and the oil companies the scapegoats for the economic ills of the country. After the lunch, Carter told reporters, "I made it clear to those gentlemen that I would not give anybody a special favor, that my commitment was to the best interest of consumers of this country but that I wanted to work very closely with the business Man shortage delays drama at Abingdon ABINGDON An acute shortage of men to fill roles in Abingdon's outdoor drama, scheduled to coincide with the Virginia Highlands Festival in early August, has necessitated postponing the perfor-. mance at least until fall.
Although enough persons volunteered to fill all the women's and children's roles, fewer than half the needed 60 men attended tryouts for the drama earlier this month. "The Fighting Parson," based on the life of Revolutionary War minister Charles Cummings, was written by Alan Pickerell, a drama professor at Emory and Henry College, and Gerald Morton, who was a senior there last fall. It was to be performed from July 31 through Aug. 15 at the site of Black's Fort, excavated earlier this year by an archaeological group. Editor blames strike follower for gunshot You'll get results when you advertise in Family wagtAds 2 Lines 4 Days 5 Dollars Phone 981-3311 BUENA VISTA A person believed to be associated with a union strike at the Georgia Bonded Fibers plant here took a shot at the Buena Vista News office, according to publisher Lloyd Page.
The shot, apparently from a .22 caliber weapon, was fired about 9 a.m. Thursday and left a hole in a window that "you could put a fountain pen through," Page said. Page's weekly newspaper has recently written editorials criticizing violence surrounding a strike by Local 1428 of the United Paperworkers International Union. He said he suspects the shot was strike related. The local walked off the job May 4, but the plant has hired new workers and is still in operation..
