Be heavily-financed battle between incum- say thes ;-?nt Democratic Gov. Jay Rockefeller, and for- incheot ef Gov. Arch Moore, a two-term Republican ■ nearly knocked off veteran Sen. Jennings paradis andolph in 1978. rt’nerofi: i Rockefeller has already spent $1.9 million and have, the is slick media campaign has taken airtime even Pittsburgh and Washington. Moore acknow- ,w good dS l ' s h* s spending will go past the $1 million food, the ark but says the high-rolling Rockefeller will sng withitrfd $12 million. Rockefeller says he’ll spend vill noti hat s necessary. Joe Mitchell, campaign manager for Carter- [o|dale, is about the only person talking issues , djhi.s campaign, but even he acknowledges the itional battle is a sideshow. “I think if we can get Jimmy Carter’s records and stands on the issues out to the people of West Virginia we re going to be in really good shape, ” said Mitchell. Carter’s stands on energy and the all-important issue here — coal — are excellent, Mitchell said. He said the gubernatorial race is the real eye- catcher “particularly because the contest is wide and deep and name recognition is such that it does overshadow the national issues in the state.” He said his budget for the state “is so small you just wouldn’t believe it. ” Reagan-Bush’s campaign spokeswoman Lynn Rhoades acknowledges the GOP got off to a late start, opening the campaign headquarters Sept. 26. With a budget of $20,000, she says, “I think Reagan has a chance in West Virginia. But I think it’s going to be a battle.” The United Mine Workers, with 66,800 min ers, and the West Virginia Labor Federation, are throwing their weight behind Carter and Rock efeller. Miner lobbyist Frank Thurman is hoping the rank-and-file miners will show a rebirth of political strength, but there are some problems. Moore, 57, can draw labor votes. But three polls in a row have shown Moore, who whipped Rockefeller by 73,000 votes when Moore was gov ernor in 1972, trailing by 15 points. “I think Rockefeller is going to have a land slide,” said state Democratic Party Chairman J.C. Dillon Jr. But a miner with the unlikely name of Herbert Hoover, 57, of Pratt, says men he’s talked with “think Rocky hasn’t done enough; and I think they’re going to take a chance with Reagan (and Moore).’’ Yet miner Clifford Martin, 34, in tradi tionally Democratic Logan County, said he’s going with Carter and Rockefeller “because they’re the Democrats.” Most political pundits are putting their money on the Democrats, since there are 671,000 of them out of a total voter registration of 997,000. Carter led in a recent poll by 12.4 percent. Ander son won’t count, officials say. It’s not a campaign of issues, but of personali ties. Rockefeller, 43, is carped at for doing little, but Moore was tried on federal extortion charges in 1976 and, although cleared, it is unclear what effect that will have on his race. “I think he’s highly incompetent,” one state- house worker complained to a companion the other day about Rockefeller. “At least he’s hon est,” the other replied. If apathy reigns on the national level. Rockefel ler and Moore haven’t been quiet. Rockefeller has plastered the state with bill boards about his accomplishments, and Moore has told groups that much of Rockefeller’s cam paign material is rubbish. He even once referred to Rockefeller’s campaign as being similar to the tactics the Nazis used of repeating a lie to make people believe it. One newspaper editor in the Republican North said, “People are turned off by Rockefeller’s mas sive ad campaign.” He said things look good for the GOP. “But everybody thinks it’s going to be a helluva horse race.” United Press International NEW YORK — A divided federal appeals court has upheld a jury find ing of negligence against Eastern Airlines in the June 1975 crash of a jet at Kennedy International Airport that killed 113 people. The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Monday rejected Eastern’s argument that errors were commit ted in its six-week trial in October 1978 in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn. Eastern had argued the accident I was wholly the fault of the govern- m ment-employed controllers. In a dissent. Judge Walter Man- Z sfield contended that Eastern had O been deprived of a fair trial because ft of “significant errors” and should be q granted a new one. He said there was evidence to indicate that air traffic ■ controllers at JFK failed to inform ■ the flight crew of severe wind shifts | L and other conditions near the approach. But, the majority held, “Based on the evidence, the jury found that Eastern Airlines was negligent in its operation. ” It added: “Eastern had a full opportunity to state and prove its defense at trial and that the trial was conducted fairly and properly. ” COUPON Flight 66 from New Orleans crashed 2,500 feet short of the run way at Kennedy after being caught in a wind shear during severe thunder storms. Eleven people survived. The trials in Brooklyn of the indi vidual claims for damages were awaiting the results of Eastern’s appeal. Tacos for only '1 I I O o 107 Dominik College Station 3312 S.

The other, a considerable con trast, is about a divorced woman who can’t make ends meet so she takes a second job working for an escort ser vice. Not too surprisingly, she gets into trouble. The first of these shows to go on will be “Portrait of an Escort, ” to be broadcast on CBS from 8-11 tonight. Susan Anspach stars as Jordan West, a beautiful blonde who is di vorced from a man she said couldn’t take care of a parakeet, let alone a family. Desperate for a job, she goes into the escort game. Jordan’s dates, arranged by Edie Adams as the head of an escort ser vice, turn out to be creeps — except for Kevin McCarthy who could get girls to pay him. All surprisingly understand Jordan is a nice girl who doesn’t even kiss on the first date. One of them, however, turns out to be dangerous. Complicating her life is Beau, played by Tony Bill, who falls in love with her even though he’s being kept by a wealthy older woman, Cyd Charisse. For a far classier breed of woman, try “The Children of An Lac,” on CBS Thursday 7-9 p.m. This is a dramatization based on a true story that happened in April 1975. Shirley Jones stars as Betty Tisdale, Ina Balin plays herself and Beulah Quo portrays Mme. Ngai, the elegant, dignified and loving head of the An Lac orphanage in Saigon. With the Viet Cong closing in on the city, the three women struggle through a jungle of red tape to evacu ate the orphans and bring them to the United States for adoption. ir\y. ug/vfT -5H0P opening in the^e : QUILTINJ6, fAP£fTr\AKlW6, CAOKOKTl rmccom. viKtATfl'T woop project^) : 5ILK%P£-LW, CHbAK PAlkTW, wikipow caitK- LOoMOOV^kor OKtmTATlOM part of a tentative plan to tow it to a harbor. All of Prinsendam’s 519 passen gers and crew members were res cued safely from storm-tossed rafts and lifeboats in the Gulf of Alaska Saturday and Sunday in what was termed the most extensive and dra matic effort in modern maritime his tory. The rescued passengers arrived in Seattle Monday via chartered jet air liners from Anchorage and Sitka. Obviously tired from their ordeal, many stepped off planes wearing an odd assortment of garments from the only clothing store in Sitka, a little town of 2,000 people, and carrying their meager belongings in paper sacks and plastic bags. Prinsendam Capt. Cornelius Wabeke, the last to abandon ship, and his chief engineer were flown Monday by helicopter from the Alas kan port city of Valdez to the Coast Guard vessel, Mellon, to aid the fire fighters. Some of the passengers awakened by smoke in the predawn hours Saturday were critical of the Prinsen dam’s readiness for a disaster. “We had three or four hours to plan our abandonment,” said Roy Wolf of Southfield, Mich., “and if it happened like bing-bing (with less warning), I don’t think anyone would have survived.” i.vi: COPIES (3Va^ Copies Overnight) Now Open 7 Days A Week KkVKO’S COPIES SOI College Mail* 846-8721 JHHEAIK eiLAJfjr introduces Debbie Debbie is returning to the Bryan/College Station area with 3V£ years experience.
