Woman houses 45 cats;
judge says get rid of 37
United Press International
AUSTIN — What Mary Enlow
considers the well-being of 45 cats
has become a nuisance to her
neighbors.
Her neighbors have successfully
convinced a municipal court judge
that Enlow, a widow who lives in a
two-bedroom frame house with a
sister and a nephew, must reduce
her litter to eight.
If Enlow, 54, does not get rid of at
least 37 cats by Oct. 5, she will be
fined $203.50 by Municipal Court
Judge Harriet Murphy.
Mr. Enlow, who lip-reads be
cause of a hearing problem, said she
didn’t know what she would do be
cause she could not bear to take the
felines to a Humane Society shelter
“where they’ll all be gassed.”
“They don’t have anyone but me,
and I love them,” she said.
Judge Murphy is sympathetic.
“I feel sorry for her because she is
so sincere about those cats,” the
judge said. “And I feel like she
should keep some, maybe more
than eight, but certainly not 45.”

CHICAGO — The political heirs
of thp late Mayor Richard J. Daley
vowed Tuesday to defend the party
machine from a federal court ruling
that patronage hiring of government
workers is unconstitutional.
Cook County Board President
George W. Dunne said the decision
would hurt the Democratic Party
and would be appealed.
U.S. District Judge Nicholas J.
Bua ruled Monday requiring politi
cal sponsorship and political work in
return for city or county jobs
violates the rights of Republicans
and independents in heavily Demo
cratic Cook County.
Traditionally, a person seeking a
job in Chicago or Cook County gov
ernment must have a letter of rec
ommendation from his ward or
township committeeman. To get
such a letter, he must perform polit
ical work or have other connections.
Mayor Jane M. Byrne said
Monday night the decision would
have no impact on the hiring prac
tices of her administration since she
has not required sponsorship let
ters. However, most observers be
lieve such letters still are useful at
the departmental level.
Daley, as both mayor and chair
man of the Cook County Demo
cratic Central Committee, used his
army of patronage workers — cur
rently four in each city precinct, on
the average — to turn out huge vote
pluralities on election day. Those
who failed to deliver their precincts
frequently found themselves seek
ing other employment.
Dunne said many people work for
the Democratic Party who are not
rewarded with government jobs. He
also sRid he values recom
mendations from clergymen,
educators and politicians regarding
the qualifications of candidates for
various jobs.
“I don’t think there is anything
wrong with a committeeman rec
ommending someone to me for a
job,” Dunne said, adding those em
ployees often “have a greater sense
of duty” than those who come to
their jobs independently because
“their work reflects on the persons
who recommended them.
Bua’s ruling extends the
man Decree” of 1972. In that ca*
U.S. District Court Judge Bemaij
M. Decker approved an agreenwi
including a pledge by county am
city department heads not toeni
in firing for political reasons.
The new decision, once it is fot
malized in a written decree, couli
lead to contempt of court charg
against politicians who continue
use polities as a job qualificatioij
Bua said.

cold winters for the Eastern and
Midwestern United States and
other areas,” Agee said.
“The long-term outlook is not
good, including prospects for re
duced agricultural production be
cause of climatic changes.
Purdue scientists have recorded
weather data for almost a century
and the West Lafayette tempera
tures are representative of much of
the Eastern and Midwestern states.
“The records show that the aver
age annual temperature increased
by about 4 degrees between 1880
and 1940,” he said. “Since then, the
average temperature has dropped
by almost 5 degrees.’
While the change may seem
slight, Agee said ski resorts and
snow-mohiling have spread south
into central and southern Indiana
the last few years, while implement
dealers in the region have added
snowblowers to their lines. Last
winter, the lower Great Lakes froze
entirely for the first time since rec
ords have been kept. The Ohio
River froze over for the third con
secutive winter — unprecedented
in the 20th century.
Earth satellite observations last
winter showed the most extensive
snow cover ever recorded for the
Northern Hemisphere since the in
ception of the satellite program in
1961.
“Really serious disruptions!™
be in store if the current coolit
trend continues to the year 2
Agee said.
The growing season of the
belt might be shifted southw
over poorer soils. “It would bewis
to keep this in mind before we mi
any 20-year grain export deals,;
Agee said.
Despite Agee’s contention, othe
scientists believe the gradual bull
dup of carbon dioxide in the atraq
sphere inevitably wil bring about;
warmer climate. Some scientist
even raised the possibility of ai
eventual melting of polar icecap
with the result that coastal cities am
other lowlying areas would
flooded.
Agee said his data shows son)
areas, such as west of the Rod"
Mountains, have been gettinf
warm, but this warming of limiti
areas “tends to mask the ovei
cooling trend.”
The more sunspots, the less heaj
emitted from the sun to warm tb
Earth, Agee said. “If sunspot nuffl
hers follow the 90-year cycle, tb
number should gradually decreasi
and remain low until after the yea
2000. 1
“The decrease in sunspots willac
company increased thermal rai
tion from the sun which should
