Brezhnev sees 'difficulties'
MOSCOW ? Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev has
acknowledged "shortcomings and bottlenecks," in the
nation's economy and "difficulties" in supplying milk and
meat.
Brezhnev, in a speech to the Soviet Communist Party
Central Committee, also called improvements in the
production of consumer goods "of paramount economic

"Many goods are still of poor quality. The supply of
some other products that are much in demand is quite
often erratic," said Brezhnev, whose speech was reported
by Tass.
The Soviet leader was vague about the 1980 Soviet grain
harvest, saying only the nation had averaged annual
yields ot more than 2(X) million metric tons during the fiveyear
period that ended Dec. 31.
Any harvest this year over 164 million tons would

Greece to end boycott
ATHENS, Greece ? Prime Minister George Rallis is
expected to win Parliament's approval Friday for
Greece's return to military participation in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization after a six-year boycott. i
Rallis announced he would seek a vote of confidence
debate today. The two main opposition parties, the
Panhellenic Socialist Movement and the Communist
Party, both criticized the government's action. But since
Rallis' New Democracy Party holds 177 of the 300 seats in
. Parliament, he is certain to win the vote.
Greece withdrew from NATO's military wing in 1974
because of the invasion of Cyprus by neighboring Turkey,
another member of the alliance. The Greek Cabinet
agreed Sunday to accept a plan worked out by NATO's
Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Gen. Bernard W.
Rogers, for Greece's return, and the NATO Defense
Planning Committee voted unanimously in Brussels
Monday to accept the Greek decision.

Pilots picket White House
WASHINGTON ? About 200 airline pilots demonstrated
outside the White House yesterday to protest what they
:? ?i *- ? > '
ici ucinjicinjies in uiu nation s air saieiy system.
At the heart of the protest is the government's recent
certification of the new McDonnell Douglas DC-9-Super 80
jetliner with two pilots instead of three.
The 33,000-member Air Pilots Association, which
sponsored the demonstration, said three pilots are needed
in the Super-80 cockpit to assure a safe operation.
Placards carried by the pickets called for President
Carter to fire Langhorne Bond, the administrator of the
Federal Aviation Administration, who certified the Super- I
80. ;
"President Carter Must Act On Air Safety Now," read
many of the signs.
Concerning the demonstration, the FAA issued this one

on FAA's long, effective stewardship of U.S. aviation than
the more than 14,000 scheduled airline flights that are
conducted every day in safety."
Raising kids isn't cheap

$254,000 ? not counting college ? says Parents Magazine. I
The magazine said the government failed to include
inflation as a factor. An estimate of $85,000, which included
four years of college, released earlier this month
by the private Population Reference Bureau also was
underestimated, the magazine contended in its issue
released Monday.
Thomas Tilling, a contributing editor of the magazine,
said the magazine arrived at the $250,000-plus figure by
using federal figures issued by the Agriculture Deaprtment
as a starting point.
Some government estimates considered low were
estimates that it costs only $22 a week to feed a teen-age
boy and $115 a year to clothe a newborn baby during its j
first year.
"Our least costly way to clothe the baby's bottom
(diaper service) comes tc $7.30 a week" Tilling wrote.
"That's$380a year." *
Police end parity raid
BOSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. ? Police believe they
have put an end to the one-man panty raids that had been
plaguing this community for months. But authorities are
having trouble returning the goods.
For the past few months, a 21-year-old man had been
riding his bike around Grosse Pointe Park snatching
women's underwear from clotheslines, police say.
The man was arrested last week and pleaded guilty to
larceny charges in municipal court, police said.

Local contractor wins suit
A Columbia contractor who charged that Southern
Railway Co. officials twice prosecuted him maliciously
and once had him fired without reason has won $1.3
million in damages from the railroad.
Tiny Smith said Tuesday he was surprised by the
verdict returned by a U.S. District Court jury after a 14dav
trial. ,4I felt like we balanced the scales a bit. I'm very
happy with the verdict," Smith said.
Smith was tried and acquitted in two 1977 trials in which
Southern Railway charged him with mail fraud.
In the first, the company accused Smith and two other

one defendant, C.W. Edwards, and billing the railroad for
the cost. Edwards, a master mechanic for Southern, and
Robert Ridgell, a hardware supplier to the railroad, were
convicted by a jury.
Later that year Smith and Edwards were tried on
charges of "job swapping" ? submitting bills to Southern
Railways for jobs other than what they had performed.
Both were found innocent.
Smith was later hired by another contractor to work on
a Southern Railway project in Savannah, Ga. When

Statewide voting surges
Two weeks before the Nov. 4 election, state election
officials said they have received an avalanche of applications
from persons wanting to vote.
"I'm certain we'll have an all-time hiah nf

voters. We had that for the primary," said James F.
Hendrix, training coordinator for the state Election
Commission. "It wouldn't surprise me to see us reach 1.2
million statewide."
"I don't know what brought this on," Hendrix continued.
"We had a surge around primary time and it
hasn't slacked off. There are awfully interesting local
races around the state, and a lot of people are interested in
just voting ? period."
Officials say the problem facing registrars is the
workload involved in getting those registered voters
properly recorded and the election equipment ready by
Nov. 4.
Player eats worms for wins

niuwi m. i nuLfci Ls muue a promise
to eat a live squirming worm for each point by which his
high school team outscores its opponents.
So far, Roberts, an offensive tackle for the Chester High
School Cyclones, has gobbled down 62 of the slippery gray
wrigglers.
"It tastes like a noodle you dropped in the sand, like a
string dropped in the dirt or something," Roberts said
Monday just before football practice as he held a paper
cup with dark gray worms lumped together. "Want one?"
Last Friday, Chester beat York High School 48-7. That
meant Roberts had to eat 41 worms.
So Monday, as a crowd of teammafps nnH
watched, Roberts downed 17 earthworms before practice.
He saved the other 24 for an after-practice snack.
