Hughes ‘mystery ship’ to perform secretly
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
“mystery ship, Glomar Explorer,
built by Howard Hughes and used
in a secret government mission to
salvage part of a sunken Soviet sub-
Transfers
appease
authorities
AUSTIN (AP) — Austin school of
ficials have transferred 86 school
teachers across town to keep
Washington authorities from with
holding about $1 million in federal
funds.
Forty-three black and Mexican-
Ainerican teachers in 16 eastside
schools and 43 Anglo teachers from
schools in other parts of the city will
swap places when school starts next
week.
The transfer is the answer of the
Austin Independent School District
to federal government charges that
too many minority teachers have
been assigned to minority schools.
Emergency School Assistance
Act (ESSA) funds of up to $1 million
have been withheld from the dis
trict by the Department of Health.
Education and Welfare because its
Office for Civil Rights had con
tended the Austin teacher distribu
tion violated the district s desegre
gation plan.
Supt. Jack Davidson said most o)
the 43 minority teachers transferred
are black since the Mexican-
American teachers in eastside
schools are involved with the bilin
gual program.
Nude men
now leap
from cakes
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Par-
tygoers, be prepared. Nude men
have begun leaping out of cakes —
to mixed reviews.
Some entrepreneurs in the San
Francisco Bay area have reached
hack for the basic idea to the Roar
ing Twenties, when nude women
enlivened parties by jumping out of
“cakes made of wood and other
materials.
Now, though, the so-called pastry
popper is sometimes decidedly
male. The men who do it say the
setting is usually a celebration
such as the female version of a
bachelor party.
“Generally, the reaction borders
on hysteria, says David Williams,
35, a university student who earns
as much as $50 a pop.
At a recent prewedding party,
women stood on chairs and cheered
when a male pastry popper jumped
out of a giant gift-wrapped box.
Another popper, 30-year-old
Danny Zezzo, got a different reac
tion at a surprise birthday party
thrown by a businessman for his
45-year-old wife.
“There were a lot of embarrassed
smiles in that mixed crowd, Zezzo
said. “I was a little embarrassed,
top. But I like the money.”
Zezzo, who runs a theatrical
agency specializing in dancers and
models, added: “Most of those I’ve
done have been bachelorette par
ties.
Zezzo said he thinks the idea is
catching on because it usually “adds
surprise and spice to what otherwise
might be a dull affair. ”
Williams, a psychology student at
San Jose State University, said
another part of the story is that wo
men’s attitudes toward sex have
been changing.
“Nowadays, women can feel free
to admit they have a sweet tooth for
men,” Williams said. “They’re be
ginning to see men as a piece of
cake. It’s only fair.”
Nevertheless, Williams says
women are still in more demand as
pastry poppers.
“I’m something of an amateur
compared to her, Williams says of a
woman he knows. “She gets about
seven or eight pops a week. I’m
doing half that number.”
marine, will perform an undisclosed
mission off the California coast, said
officials of its operating company.
Meanwhile, in the first formal
public assertion that the federal
government owns the ship, the Jus
tice Department announced in
Washington it is seeking an injunc
tion to prevent the County of Los
Angeles from levying a $7.5 million
tax against the vessel.
The government still has not for
mally acknowledged the
submarine-raising operation con
ducted by the ship for the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The injunction is being sought in
U.S. District Court in Los Angeles
on ground the ship is the property of
the United States and thus not taxa
ble by a state or any of its subdivi
sions.
The Los Angeles County tax as
sessor slapped a 25 per cent fraud
assessment on Hughes’ Summa
Corp. in June because, he said, it
told him in 1974 the ship was regis
tered in Delaware when it actually
was Registered in California and tax
able there.
The assessment brought Hughes’
1974 . tax bill on the vessel to
$4,395,152. The assessor previously
levied 1975 taxes of $3,119,865 on
the ship.
A spokesman for Global Marine
Co. in Los Angeles, operator of the
sophisticated vessel, would not di
vulge the nature of the upcoming
experimental mission to be per
formed by it.
“We re free to say that it (The
Glomar Explorer) will be doing
some experimental work by the is
thmus,” near Catalina Island, about
28 miles off the California coast, said
Taylor Hancock.
Hancock made the statement
when asked about recent reports
that the vessel would undertake a
new assignment.
CIA Director William Colby and
other CIA officials unofficially
briefed newsmen earlier this year
about the Glomar during a time
when Colby was trying to keep the
story out of print.
Without officially acknowledging
the CIA’s role in the Glomar’s sub
recovery project, Colby has alluded
to it in some speeches.
On these occasions Colby says
that President Dwight D.
Eisenhower’s public acknowledg
ment of U.S. U-2 flights forced
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
to react more seriously to the down
ing of one of the planes. Khrushchev
used the incident to abort a planned
Paris summit meeting late in the
Eisenhower administration.
There has been no public Soviet
reaction to the Glomar project.
A CIA spokesman, asked for
comment on the latest events affect-
ing the Glomar Explorer, re
sponded: “We haven’t said diddly-
squat about any of these tales. ”
