_making the news F»m AmocMmI Pr*»» report* WASHINGTON — The best example of wasteful gov ernment spending in November is a wave-making machine designed to create a 4-foot-high surf in a swimming pool, Sen. William Proxmire said Tuesday. The Wisconsin Democrat said the device, which the Interior Department had installed in a Salt Lake City community swim ming pool, cost the taxpayers $145,000. The bureau responded to Proxmire’s “Golden Fleece" award by acknowledging that is taking another look at the “wave-action swimming pools.” TOKYO — Another wall poster attacking Mao Tse-tung went up in Peking Tuesday within 24 hours of Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping’s suggestion that critics should lay off of the “great helmsman” who died two years ago. In Tienanmen Square, thousands of Chinese gathered Tuesday night to demand more political and economic democ racy and the rehabilitation of some leaders cashiered during Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s. Japan's Kyodo news service said the latest anti-Mao poster, signed by restaurant workers, accused Mao of making the state his own property, like a feudal king. WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark said Tuesday the Justice Department did not take control of the investigation of Martin Luther King’s assassination because it would have worsened relations between him and J. Edgar Hoover. He said that although there was a “quality of racism” in the late FBI director’s attitude toward the civil rights leader, the FBI investigation of the killing was vigorous and thorough. “The FBI’s reputation was on the line,” Clark said. “Failure to perform would have had profound impact on public confidence in the FBI.” MADRID, Spain — Eleuterio “El Lute” Sanchez, a Spanish gypsy bandit who for years was No. 1 on the police wanted list, will be freed from jail if he finds someone to guarantee he will behave. El Lute faced a prison sentence of 1,300 years when he appeared for trial two weeks ago charged with numerous crimes, including confrontations with police and three prison breaks. Israeli television reports West Bank settlement plan TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Jewish Agency has proposed investing $2.8 billion over the next five years to settle 27,000 Jewish families in 46 new settlements in the West Bank of the Jordan River, Israel television reported Tuesday. The Jewish Agency is Israel’s semi-official author ity responsible for immigration and settlement ac tivities. A spokesman for the agency’s settlement depart ment was unable to confirm the television report, which said the plan also calls for adding another 8,000 families to existing and new West Bank settle ments in the coming year at a cost of more than $840 million. The plan has been presented to Prime Minister Menaehem Begin and the head of the government’s settlement committee, the television report said, but no decision has been made to implement it. Israel agreed at Camp David to freeze new settle ment construction in the occupied territories during the three months following the signing of the Israel Egypt accords. That period expires Dec. 17. The television quoted settlement department head Mattitiyahu Drobles as saying the new settlements should be constructed near both existing Jewish set tlements and Arab towns in the West Bank “because in the future we will have to learn to live with the Arab residents” in the area. There now are about 1300 Jewish families in 50 settlements in the West Bank.

The women, who have not de nied they are lesbians, sued the city for $10 million, claiming that their constitutional rights of due process were violated and that the city broke its own civil sen/ice rules by denying them hearings. U.S. District Judge Ray McNichols, in a partial judgment issued Monday, said he could not understand “a city the size of this about 100,000 people with the help it has available to it going through such an operation in 1977.” o THINGS ARE WORTH WAIT/y^ (<^u That’s why there are waiting lines at Mr. Moto’s. o i o . >Woi * Good iSfimfap J!
