JANUARY 18. 1978 Atherton to begin new talks United Press International JERUSALEM — Special U S. envoy Alfred Atherton Wednesday began efforts to get the Israeli- Egyptian peace treaty talks moving again, but his mission was compli cated by a Israeli Cabinet decision to create new military outposts in occupied territory. Atherton, State Department legal adviser Herbert Hansell, and aides iTfiet for two hours with an Israeli team headed by Eliahu Ben-Elissar, chief administrative officer for Prime Minister Menachem Begin. “We’ve just had the first of what will be a number of meetings be tween the Israeli team and the American team,” Atherton told re porters after the morning session in Begin s office. Administration sources in Wash ington said Carter is sending a strong protest to Israel over the planned creation of the three new settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The official said the Cabinet decision has complicated the mission of Atherton to the Mid dle East. /MSC SCON IV 24 America’s Economic Environment: Business, Bucks and Bureaucracy You are invited to apply to be an A&M dele gate to the Student Conference on National Affairs, January 15-20th.

Ray Blanton, ignoring massive pub lic outrage over clemency granted Monday night to 52 felons — nearly half of them murderers — may free still more criminals before leaving office Saturday. One of as many as 18 others being considered for clemency, Blanton’s legal counsel Robert Lillard said, is Eddie Dallas Denton of Newport, sentenced to 60 years after being convicted of three murders. Denton was mentioned in FBI af fidavits as possibly being slated for a commutation in exchange for money in the state’s burgeoning pardon- for-pay scandal. Three Blanton aides have been charged in the pardonselling probe and a federal grand jury is continu ing an investigation. Blanton said earlier he was advised he is a “target” of the probe. In another development, the state attorney general’s office said Tuesday it is trying to determine if Gov.-elect Lamar Alexander could revoke the 52 pardons and commu tations signed by Blanton Monday night. Chief Deputy Attorney Gen eral Hayes Cooney said he expects an opinion to be ready by Friday. Public officials, as well as private citizens, expressed outrage and dismay over Blanton’s action. Alexander called it “sickening” while U.S. Sen. Jim Sasser, D-Tenn., a past political friend of Blanton, declared it “outrageous and “the grossest breach of a chief executive’s power perhaps in the history of Tennessee. “Ray Blanton is one of the most contemptible, irresponsible politi cians ever involved in the political system of Tennessee,” said U.S. Rep. Robin Beard, R-Tenn. Lillard said Tuesday others who may receive clemency in one form or another from Blanton include 10 Death Row inmates and four in mates earlier recommended for ac tion by the Board of Pardons and Paroles, but later tabled because of allegations involving the FBI inves tigation. Participants in the Monday night meeting that led to the clemency ac tions said Tuesday the governor first acted on the most controversial of the pardons — that of Roger Hum phreys, son of a Blanton political ally who was convicted of killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend. “This takes guts," Blanton said as he prepared to sign the document commuting Humphreys’ 20-to-40 year sentence to time served. “Yeah, well, some people have more guts than they’ve got brains, replied Secretary of State Gentry Crowell. Travolta rescued from snow by couple United Press International JACKSON, Wyo.— A Jackson couple that took the time to help a stranded motorist was treated to a steak dinner with movie star John Travolta. Mike and Gerri Schneider spotted a car stuck in deep snow last week and pulled it out with their four-wheel drive vehicle. Inside the car were Travolta and his manager, who were in town on an incognito skiing trip at nearby Jackson Hole. “We knew who he was when he walked up to the car," Mrs. Schneider said. “We were excited, very excited.” Travolta, star of the movies “Saturday Night Fever" and “Moment By Moment, ” responded by buying steaks at a nearby grocery store, and the foursome retired to a mountain cabin owned by friends of the Schneiders for a meal cooked by the manager. “It was fantastic, just fantastic,” Mrs. Schneider said. "He is a very nice person.” Mrs. Schneider said she has been a Travolta fan since his first movie. What red-blooded American girl isn’t?” she said. SENIOR PLACEMENT SEMINAR PRESENTED BY MR.
