Liars fibbing again
after two-year break
United Press International
BURLINGTON, Wis. —
You say you sometimes stretch
the truth a little? Facts never
get in the way of your best
stories?
Well polish up your reper
toire because the Burlington
Liars Club will be back in busi
ness soon. No lie.
Old Otis Hulett, the former
newspaperman who ran the
club for 52 years, shut it down
two years ago because he said
he was getting too tired and the
lies weren’t as good as they used
to be.
Hulett is near 90 and is re
portedly opposed to restarting
the club, with its annual New
Year’s Eve awards for cham
pionship lies.
“Otis has gotten a little
cranky with the world,” said
James Weis, executive secret
ary of the Burlington Chamber
of Commerce, who has pushed
hard to get the club cranked up
again.
“It’s good for Burlington, ” he
said, relating the story of a town
resident remembered at a Rot
ary meeting in Australia as
“coming from that place where
they tell lies — Burlington.
“You’d be amazed at where
the letters come from, from the
Phillipines to Philadelphia,”
Weis said.
The club got started around a
pot-bellied stove when a former
police chief said it was a quiet
day and asked Hulett if he “had
heard the one about,” Branen
said.
“The lies have been coming
in almost daily, even though the
club was shut down two years
ago,” said newspaper publisher
William Branen, who also
helped get the club reincorpo
rated.
“We’ve got several lies
already,” Brannen said. “Peo
ple enjoy telling fibs, trying to
outdo each other.”
Hulett wouldn’t permit poli-
ticans and newspaper people to
enter, Branen said, because he
considered them “professional
liars.”
The three men who will
judge this year’s entries are
John Soeth, director of curricu
lum for the city schools, retired
journalist Donald Reed, who
helped Hulett, and Mitzi Ro-
bers, a Burlington resident.
In his cluttered office, Hulett
framed the winning entries
each year and sent the winner a
stick pin in the shape of a little
angel holding a harp. “The
diamond in it was from Wool-
worth’s,” Weis said.
“We might come up with
something a little more elabo
rate” for the first award of the
reborn club this coming New
Year’s Eve, he added.
Two more women arrested
Radicals linked to robbery
United Press International
NEW YORK — Federal au
thorities investigating the bloody
$1.6 million Brink’s heist arrested
two more women, one in Manhat
tan and one in a remote Mississip
pi farmhouse, and said four radical
groups may have been involved in
the robbery.
FBI Special Agent Richard
Bretzing identified the four
groups Tuesday as the Weather
Underground, the Black Libera
tion Army, the Black Panthers and
Republic of New Africa, a radical
black separatist group.
Nathaniel Burns, a former
Black Panther, at his arraignment
on charges of trying to kill the six
police officers who arrested him,
claimed New York City police
beat him for 4 l A hours.
He said he was also burned
with a cigarette and that police
held a gun to his head and fired on
an empty chamber four times.
Burns, 37, arrested after a
shootout with police, was taken to
the hospital over the weekend,
suffering what authorities would
Convention president elected,
moderate Baptists win victory
United Press International
WACO — Middle-of-the-road
Southern Baptists won a victory
Wednesday with the election of
D.L. Lowrie as president of the
Baptist General Convention of
Texas.
In a late-morning runoff elec
tion, Lowrie, a Lubbock native
and chairman of the state conven
tion’s executive board, was named
to the post.
The election of Lowrie repre
sents a victory for middle-of-the-
road Southern Baptists whose 2.2
million members in Texas have
been wrangling over theological
and related biblical issues in re
cent years.
Lowrie defeated the Rev. Dar
rell Robinson of Pasadena, Texas.
Lowrie received 1,311 votes while
Robinson received 952.
The Rev. Joel Gregory of Fort
Worth nominated Lowrie for the
position. With his election, Low
rie is no longer a possible nominee
for executive director of the con
vention.
Before the balloting began, the
Rev. Billy Graham, the dean of
American evangelists, held a news
conference at the 96th annual
meeting of Baptists.
Four-thousand messengers —
the official term for each church’s
representative — were present
Tuesday night, laying aside doc
trinal differences for the three-
hour opening.
Graham refused to criticize
fundamentalists Wednesday by
advocating a rigorous separation of
church and state.
“It’s a very clouded issue, ” said
the 62-year-old Southern Baptist
preacher. “But there’s no way to
have total separation of church
and state in the United States.”
Graham referred to the Puritan
fathers of New England, the activ
ity of the National Council of
Churches and recent activities of
New Right groups such as the
Moral Majority.
“At first I was opposed to the
Moral Majority, but after listening
to the Rev. Jerrv Falwell I’ve
changed my mind,” Graham said.
He indicated that the key to his
new attitude came from seeing
that Falwell wears two hats. On
the one hand Falwell wears the
hat of a fundamentalist preacher;
on the other hand, that of a politic
al activist.
James Landes, outgoing execu
tive director, told the gathering at
Waco’s convention center: “Our
desire to win the lost world must
be our magnificent obsession, our
determined position and our all
encompassing strategy.”
Tuesday, a 14-member commit
tee charged with selecting the re
ligious group’s new executive di
rector, chose Dewey Preseley, a
layman from Dallas, as its
chairman.
A trustee of Baylor University,
Preseley was instrumental in
bringing Herbert Reynolds to the

CHICAGO — If pharmacist
Frank Lee doesn’t understand
what his customers want, he just
calls an interpreter — and now
he’s making that option available
to other merchants.
Lee’s “Ethnic Hot Line” goes
beyond the “se habla espanol”
signs that are displayed in many
store windows.
Lee, 69, who has been operat
ing his own pharmacy for 51 years
— 30 years at his current site —
said he wants to develop a transla
tion service to help other mer
chants at the Lincoln Village shop
ping mall overcome what he calls
the area’s “language barrier. ”
“Our neighborhood has
changed a lot,” Lee said. “Sud
denly I find I got 11 different lan
guages here. A lot of people can’t
make themselves understood.
“I find people saying they are
shopping for a neighbor because
she doesn’t speak English. We
want to change that,” he said.
What we intend to do is put ads
into all ethnic newspapers that
say, Come to Lincoln Village to
shop because we speak your lan
guage.’
“It has applications in all kinds
of areas — the police, for instance.
Say there’s an accident. We’ve
had schools call saying they’ve got
people who want to take courses
but they can’t speak English. And
we could charge a small service fee
so we could pay the interpreters. ”
Lee said the Lincoln Village
area, which is right on the Chica-
go-Lincolnwood border on the ci
ty’s northwest side, is made up in
large measure of immigrants
speaking Spanish, Greek,
Japanese, Korean, Assyrian, Rus
sian, Hungarian, Yiddish,
French, German and Italian.
“Right now I have one woman
who translates six languages,” Lee
said.
“Then I have somebody who
speaks Polish and Hungarian, and
one other person who translates
Japanese — so that’s nine of the
languages taken care of,” he said.
“We hope to fill in the others soon,
especially if we can work out
something with a university.”

trauma.
The shootout was prompted by
a chase that began, police said,
when they noticed the car Burns
was driving in had the same
license plate as that used in the
Oct. 20 Brink’s holdup that left
two Nyack cops and one guard
dead in Nyack and Nanuet.
In the latest arrest in a stunning
week-long sweep of radicals,
police in Nyack arrested Eva
Rosahn.
Rosahn, 30, who officials said
also uses the name Judith
Schneider, was charged with sup
plying a rented 1981 Chevrolet
van for the Brink’s holdup gang as
well as her own 1980 Honda.
Rosahn had been charged last
month with rioting at Kennedy
Airport during a protest against
the Springboks, a South African
rugby team. At the demonstra
tion, acid was tossed at a police
man, partially blinding him.
Authorities said Rosahn was
arrested after a rental slip for the
van, in the name of Judith
Schneider, was discovered in
Kathy Boudin’s Manhattan apart
ment.
Boudin, 38, a Weather Under
ground leader who was on the run
for 11 years since the explosion of a
Greenwich Village “bomb fac
tory,” was captured just after the
Brink’s shootout. Three other sus
pects were arrested with her.
Earlier in the day, FBI agents,
police and four Air Force SWAT
teams swooped down on a clap
board farmhouse in Gallma
Miss., and arrested Cynth
Boston.
Boston, the Republic of Ne
Africa’s minister of informatioi
and her common-law husbarf
William Johnson, were named ;
conspirators in the holdup in a
FBI complaint filed at U.S. Di
trict Court in Manhattan.
Bretzing said the only outstanc
ing warrant in the Nyack holdu
was for Johnson, who is als
known as Bal Sunni-Ali. Johnsor
suspected of belonging to th
Black Liberation Army, was be
lieved to be in Mississippi.
convention's most prominent
school as president. He has work
ed as a consultant to the board of
directors of First International
Bancshares of Dallas and is re
garded as a moderate.
Observers indicated the six
presidential nominees are theolo
gically conservative.
“What we’ve got is a situation
where not a single person is run
ning who is not a conservative,”
said the Rev. Paige Patterson of
Dallas’ Criswell Center for Biblic
al Studies.
Patterson, State Appellate
Judge Paul Pressler of Houston
and others recently expressed
concern over what tbey perceive
as a drift toward theological liber
alism in some of the state conven
tions’ 26 institutions.
