The Tass news agency reported Brezhnev signed a treaty of coop eration with President Abdel Fattah Ismail, for whose arrival Wed nesday the Soviet leader made his first public appearance since Oct. 8. The 72-year-old president thus dispelled another set of rumors that he had died or was near death. He spent a full day Thursday exchang ing documents and finishing talks with Ismail, Tass said. Tass said the Yemeni president “expressed approval of the foreign policy initiatives of the Soviet government, set forth in Leonid Brezhnev’s Berlin speech Oct. 6 and aimed at strengthening of the process of detente at the limitation of arms and disarmament.” House reconsiders'E 1 gas control remains Unite WASHI> Energy Cc sive energy $30 billion United Press International WASHINGTON — What a dif ference a day makes — at least when it comes to gasoline price controls. Oct. 12, the House passed by three votes — 191-188 — a proposal by Rep. James Courter, R-N.J., to end all price controls immediately on gasoline and also end most of the government’s power to allocate gasoline from one area to another in time of shortages. But on Wednesday, the House overwhelmingly reversed itself — 225-189 — and allowed current price and allocation powers to re main. They will end anyway two years from now, under current law. STOP IT BEFORE IT STARTS! What made the difference? To begin with, this reversal rein forced an old rule: don’t consider important legislation in the House on either a Friday or a Monday. Too many members will be absent. When shocked House Demo cratic leaders saw what had hap pened to them on a Friday, they managed to schedule a reconsidera tion of the action for midweek, when they could be certain most of their troops would be there. The reversal was a victory for the White House and Democratic lead ers, who believed prices would zoom upward without controls. The Courter proposal was in the form of an amendment to a bill au thorizing $6.9 billion for the Energy Department. Immediately after the amendment was reversed, the bill passed, 263-150, and was sent to the Senate. Under present law, fed trols on gasoline prices vil tomatically Sept. 30, years.

Paramount Pictures Presents A Lawrence Gordon Production "THE WARRIORS' Executive Producer Frank Marshall Based Upon the Novel by Sol Yurick Screenplay by David Shaber and Walter Hill Produced by Lawrence Gordon Directed by Walter Hill United Press International WICHITA FALLS — The pros pect of a 20-year prison term seemed like far better odds than a 170-year sentence to Bobby Johnson, who faked his drowning death in 1977 but was arrested two years later in Idaho for running a red light. Johnson, 44, of Iowa Park, plead ed guilty Wednesday to two counts of interstate transportation of stolen grain. In exchange, the government agreed to dismissal of 15 other charges. In appearing before U.S. District Judge Eldon Mahon, Johnson quietly said “I plead guilty, sir.” In a statement on the steps of the federal building — while clutching a worn Bible — Johnson said “I would like to ask all the people I have sin ned against to forgive me.” Sitting with Johnson’s family dur ing the proceedings was Irene Ol son, a former Billings, Mont., meter maid who lived with Johnson during part of his time as a fugitive. She faces federal charges accusing her of harboring a federal fugitive. Johnson’s wife, Anita, of Amarillo, ,Texas, was not present. Mahon set sentencing for Johnson — who faces a maximum 10 years in prison and $10,000 fine on each count — for Nov. 20. Had he not changed his plea, Johnson could have faced a 170-year prison sentence and $170,000 in fines for the theft of more than 400,000 bushels of grain from 300 Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma farmers. The farmers estimated their collective losses in the swindle at more than $2 million. The Texas Department of Ag riculture announced in late Sep tember that some 200 Oklahoma and Texas farmers would split $225,000 as partial reimbursement for their losses. The money repre sented the amount of an indemnity bond on Johnson’s grain warehouse.

Based on the popular stage play by Peter Barnes, who also wrote this screenplay. The Ruling Class stars Peter O’Toole, in a demanding role as the 14th Earl of Gurney, who arrives fresh from an insane asylum to claim his inheritance. Jack Gurney (O’Toole) is a gentle soul whose only fault is to believe himself to be Jesus Christ, and so he dresses in robes and sandals and sleeps on a wooden cross.
