United Press International
SEABROOK — Police Chief
ill Kerber refused a request by
e Ku Klux Klan to march
™ png the city’s waterfront in
[jemory of a fisherman slain
most three years ago by Viet-
amese fishermen.
Kerber said Monday his deci-
d lion to deny the Klan a parade
Jajj *™it is “based strictly on the
location they wanted to march
in.”
The parade route would have
put Klansmen and native-born
U.S. fishermen in clear view of
Vietnamese businesses and resi
dences.
“I felt they (the Vietnamese)
would have been a captive audi
ence,” Kerber said. “I don’t want
to allow the Klan to violate the
iniuction (issued by a federal
judge).”
Last year, U.S. District Judge
Gabrielle McDonald issued an
injuction halting violence and
intimidation against Vietnamese
fishermen.
Klan Imperial Wizard James
Stanfield and fishermen Eugene
Fisher, recently elected Grand
Dragon of the White Camillas,
another KKK organization, re
quested the permit for a four-
hour march June 12 in memory
of Seadrift fisherman Billy Toe
Aplin.
The two Vietnamese brothers
indicted on murder charges
were later acquitted on grounds
of self-defense in the shooting
death of Aplin.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. — An
ixclusive sperm bank for Nobel
Vize-winnerS announced the
lirth of its first child — a heal-
hy, 9-pound girl fathered by a
man identified only as an “emi
nent mathematician.”
The Repository for Germinal
Choice, set up two years ago to
bake available the sperm of
Nobel Prize-winners and other
'creative and intelligent peo
ple,” disclosed Monday the girl
was born last month.
A spokesman for the sperm
bank would identify the father
only as a university professor,
“an eminent mathematician,” in
his 30s.

point to increased pay as the first
step toward making teaching
more attractive.
“The truth is that for many
teachers today the rewards are
few, morale is low and a large
number of the best teachers are
considering bailing out,” said
Dr. Dean Corrigan, dean of the
College of Education at Texas
A&M University.
June L. Carp, legislative dire
ctor for the Texas Federation of
Teachers, said the committee’s
first goal should be to ensure
enactment of recommendations
already made — such as higher
pay, upgraded health insurance,
tax-sheltered annuities and
other benfits for teachers.
“We propose that you recom
mend money instead of rhetor
ic,” Carp said. “Fund benefits,
fund a decent living wage, fund
safety on the job — and then you
can offer a high school student a
good career in teaching. Right
now, students consider it a
laughable one.”

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Jack
“Treetop” Strauss, a tall Texan
who has played poker since col
legiate days, leads & field of nine
ofthe world’s best poker players
today in a contest of no-limit
Hold’em with more than $1 mil
lion on the table.
Strauss walked away from the
table at Binion’s Horseshoe Club
at the conclusion of play Mon
day night with $341,500 — more
than double the $133,000 pot
held by AJ. Meyers of Beverly
Hills, Calif., the nearest threat.
Myers led Strauss by nearly
$7,000 going into Monday’s
third round, but by the dinner
hour he had dropped behind.
The 6-foot-6 Strauss stroked
his mustache for luck, glared at
the closest challengers after din
ner and proceeded to run
$205,000 up to $341,500 by the
finish of the third round.
Since play started Saturday in
the high-stakes Hold’em game,
95 gamblers have been knocked
out including 1981 and 1980 de
fending champion Stu Ungar. It
cost each gambler $10,000 to
buy into the game.
Although it is the 13th year
for the annual event, organizers
decided to call this year’s event
the 1982 World Series of Poker
because of an uneasy and super
stitious feeling about the un
lucky number 13.
Next year’s competition will
be called the 14th Annual World
Series of Poker.
Professional gambler Dewey
Tomko, once a kindergarten
teacher in Haines City, Fla.,
finished the round in third place
with $116,500.. Barry Johnston
of Oklahoma City was not far
behind with $115,000 followed
by Dody Roach of Corpus
Christi with $114,000.
Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson
of Sweetwater goes into today’s
competition with $87,000. He
had $105,000 in chips after the
dinner break Monday night but
dropped rapidly.
The 1982 no-limit Hold’em,
the final event in the World
Series of Poker which began
April 23, carries the richest first-
prize in the history of the
Horseshoe Club tournament —
$520,000.
Second place is worth
$208,000, third $104,000,
fourth and fifth $52,000 each,
sixth $41,000 and seven, eighth
and ninth place finishers will get
$20,800 each.

with a patent on shatter-proof
eyeglass lenses, founded the
sperm bank with the sperm of
three Nobel science laureates.
William B. Shockley, the
Nobel physics winner in 1956,
said he contributed to the sperm
,bank.
The sperm bank was housed
in a guarded converted pump
house on Graham’s 10-acre
estate in northern San Diego
County.
The New York Post reported
Monday the girl was born April
21 in Chicago to a mother who
belongs to MENS A, a national
association of people with high
measurable intelligence quo
tients.
The Repository for Germinal
Choice originally carried the
name of geneticist Hermann J.
Muller, who won the Nobel
Prize in 1946 and died in 1967,
but Muller’s widow objected.
When Graham announced
the sperm bank founding in
April 1980 “to increase, in a
civilized way, the number of
offspring of our Nobelists in sci
ence,” he said three East Coast
women had been artificially in
seminated, but he had no idea if
any of them were pregnant.
“There is no parallel with Hit
ler,” Graham said when he
founded the sperm bank.
“We’re not interested in a super
race or an elite. We are thinking
in terms of a few more intelli
gent, useful people who other
wise would not be born.”

We know your question: How could Olivetti have developed
a better personal computer than the other giants?
The answer in a word: Experience. Olivetti introduced
the world's first desk-top computer in 1965. Since then,
we've continued to market a variety of minicomputers
and microcomputers to a wide range of users.
The new M20 has the latest technological advances,
like our true 16-bit microprocessor. And the results?
Well, check the comparison chart for yourself: In price-
performance and feature benefits, Olivetti's M20 has
more capability across the board than the Xerox 820,
the IBM Personal Computer and—hold on to your
disks—the Apple HI.
In fact, dollar for dollar, the M20 is the most powerful
personal computer on the market.
It can handle just about any application—electronic
spread sheets, accounting, word processing, data entry,
communications, scientific, technical...in fact, everything
to make you more productive. And the M20's memory
capacity—512K bytes—makes the Apple Hi's memory
look pretty unmemorable.
Of course, Olivetti offers a complete line of printers. And if
you already own an Olivetti electronic typewriter, you already
have a printer compatible with the M20.

Operating the M20 is as easy as using an Olivetti typewriter.
You don't need programming experience. The M20 teaches you
all about itself. One step at a time.
And you needn't wade through a sea of complicated com
puter printouts. The M20 allows you to visualize the most
complex information in high-resolution graphics—even color.
Its programming language is Microsoft BASIC version 5.2.
Universally known, easy to learn and use, it also ensures com
patibility with a wide range of existing application programs.
Olivetti has developed its own disk-based operating
system (PCOS—Professional Computer Operating Sys
tem) which fully exploits the full potential of the M20.
PCOS monitors and manages the system, catalogues
and executes command procedures, executes util
ity programs, calls assembler routines, pro
vides a constant HELP function, protects data
and programs via passwords and provides a
line- and full-screen editor.
Our CP/M® option can give you access to the
expanding world of CP/M software. © mz Olivetti Corporation
Olivetti's extensive sales and
service network includes locations'
in every state. So send in the
coupon, and let us prove to
you that the M20 was
worth the wait.
