Congressmen say take action now Five have wages due The Department of Labor has released a list containing 1 the names of five persons last known to live in Butte who will receive back wages if their whereabouts can be established; They are Arthur Bentley Tommy Clark, Bert Ingham, Melvin Nowich and Ray Savage. The wages were recovered from employers on behalf of these workers Jay the Labor Department's Wage-Hour Division. Checks or letters to the workers have been returned by the post office and the Wage-Hour office has been unable to contact those persons. Anyone who knows the workers or where they can be located should contact the worker or the Labor Department.

To claim the back wages, the worker must identify himself by providing the Labor Department with his Social Security number, names of past employers and present address. This may be done by telephoning the Labor Department in Denver, 303-837-4870, for a form to be filled out and returned to the Department, or by sending the needed information in writing to-the Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Room 15412, 1961 Stout in Denver, 80202.

It pays $1 a year. investigation of the activities of AMPI." News accounts describing the extent of the association's political contributions, and the administration's sudden decision to allow an increase in the milk price support appeared in midsummer of 1971. And the cooperative delivered the' last installment to the Nixon campaign in September 1971. Mitchell eventually became Nixon's campaign director. McLaren said two antitrust officials expressed concern that AMPl's "continuation of its predatory activities appear to be causing irreparable injury to nonmembers" and suggested the government should consider a civil suit as a quicker remedy.

McLaren said Mitchell discussed the recommended grand jury investigation with him on Nov. 30, 1971. It was apparently McLaren's first personal discussion with Mitchell about the request and it came nearly three months after McLaren's initial recommendation. The discussion included a review of "the legal and tactical questions involved, including the difficulties of obtaining a criminal conviction in the face of a defense that the defendants' activities were exempt from- the antitrust laws," said McLaren's affidavit. Mitchell then suggested that the investigation "proceed along civil rather than criminal lines," McLaren added.

By mid-December 1971 division officials concurred in the proposed civil suit and on Jan. 22, 1972, Mitchell signed the complaint but asked that AMPI be afforded a chance to negotiate a settlement before the suit was filed, McLaren said. Bargaining efforts collapsed and the suit was filed two days before McLaren left office. The government antitrust suit still is pending before a federal judge in Kansas City. In another affidavit, it was reported that a special Watergate grand jury currently is investigating "possible criminal conduct by AMPI, its officers, employes and O.

Staggers, chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, for permission to delay issuing the regulations. Simon said it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to revise the regulations carefully and take account of all the public comment, by Thursday. Official spokesmen for Simon's Federal Energy Office said Wedkesday the agency had not yet heard from Staggers and Jackson. But Staggers, reached at his home in West Virginia, told a newsman he directed a staff member to reply last Saturday. His answer to Simon; he said, was that he had no authority to change the Dec.

27 deadline established by law. Sterling Munro, administrative aide to Jackson, said the senator sent a letter to Simon on Wednesday, taking the same position: that he had no authority to grant a delay. Jackson's letter added that the administration had been urged for many months to prepare for petroleum shortages and "had. more than ample opportunity" to get its regulations ready. But Jackson also noted that the law gives Simon a chance to revise the regulations even after they are issued.

He said one section of the law permits a delay in application of regulations on gasoline allocation until Jan. 26, 1974, and on crude oil and other petroleum products until Jan. 11. If the administration delayed the application of the regulations it could use the extra time to revise and reissue" them, possibly at the cost of. leaving less time to prepay for implementation.

Under the law, Simon must regulate the distribution of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, home heating oil, industrial and power-plant fuel oil, petrochemical inputs, and other petroleum products, throughout the nation. mother of State Sen.

The suit alleges that the result of AMPl's activities has been that consumers have been deprived of the opportunity to buy milk and milk products at competitive prices and that producers who are AMPI members have been deprived of the right to sell in free and open competition. McLaren said that oh Sept.

9, 1971, he requested Mitchell "to authorize a grand jury investigation into a possible conspiracy by AMPI and others to eliminate competition in the marketing of milk in certain Midwestern states "in violation of antimonopoly laws. He said key antitrust division officds and the chief of the division's Midwest' office recommended the grand Jury probe. McLaren said antitrust officials "continued to receive complaints about AMPl's activities from milk processors and milk producers who were not members of AMPI." He further learned that lawyers for the milk producers' group were stating publicly that the cooperative was exempt from antitrust laws, the affidavit said.

In Cleveland, Metzenbaum said, "We have paid the claimed by the government to avoid any possible misunderstanding.

This is not to indicate that agree with the government position because the tax court case will continue. Assuming that we win the case, as our lawyers indicate we will, the government will refund the entire amount." 'The deductions, according to court records, involve depreciation costs and rental losses on an investment by Metzenbaum in an ethane extraction plant in Louisiana. Metzenbaum said in the court petition that he had purchased 50 per cent interest in the plant in December, 1967, and leased it to Allied Chemical Corp. the following February. But the IRS contended the transaction was not a bonafide transaction entered into for profit and that Metzenbaum therefore was not entitled to the dreciation loss and rental lossespe had claimed.

Mitchell was twice urged by his antitrust chief to approve a federal grand jury investigation of possible criminal violations by the Associated Milk Producers the Justice Department disclosed Wednesday. Mitchell eventually approved a civil antitrust suit against the cooperative, which gave a total -of $202,000 to President Niion's re-election campaign.

Judge Charles Wofford said, in effect, that he agrees with a husband's contention that a law requiring men to support former wives is a form of sex discrimination. The decision was filed Wednesday in the divorce case of Michael Vincent Murphy in vs. Barbara Browne Murphy. Murphy contended that alimony statutes in Georgia are unconstitutional because of the definition which describes alimony as an allowance out of the husband's estate made for the support of the wife when living separate from him Wofford said the definition "denies husbands as a class due process and equal protection of the law as guaranteed (them) by the constitution of the State of Georgia and by the Constitution of the United States Mrs. Murphy's attorney was expected to appeal the decision.

"My mother used to say, 'when that whistle blows if you're not home you'd better start for Thousands of other Canton residents apparently have similar memories. Allaman said he placed the petitions in Canton stores, and they filled up with signatures almost as fast as they were put on display.

Until the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors acted Dec. 17, nude frolickers could be seen on the beaches near here as Amtrak's Starlight whizzed by on its trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Supervisors, at an emotion-packed hearing, adopted an ordinance banning nudity on beaches in view of the public or of private residences.

The ordinance makes such nudity a misdemeanor. It was passed 3-2. Supervisor James Slater, who voted against the ordinance, argued that it discriminates between males and females by prohibiting women and girls from topless bathing. Another opponent, Supervisor Frank Frost, said existing laws on indecent exposure, sexual misconduct and disturbing the peace are sufficient to regulate nudity on the beaches.
