ecutive director of the National
Association of Counties.

sion of the annual convention of

tion among counties and ap

the federal government in inter
preting programs which aoolv
w neavuy-popuiated areas.

U.S. Bows to Cambodia Demands, Cancels Aid
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
United States today wrote "fin-
is" to an eight-year effort to
bolster Cambodia's neutralist
government with military and
economic help. It had no other
choice, t'
State Department officials
said a note was en route to
Prince Norodom Sihanouk bow
ing .to' his demand for termina
tion of the 128 mUlion-a-year aid
program : and -withdrawal of
American military and econom
ic missions. '
- More in sorrow than in anger
U.S. officials predicted dire dif
ficulties ahead for the 41-year-
old prince who has sought to
walk a tightrope between the
Communists and the West.
They expressed fear that left
ist pressure, added to "unfound
ed" suspicions of the United
Mates, was pushing the strate
gic Southeast Asian country into
tne ummunist oreit. ,.
Agree to Reqaeit
The American note, officials
said, rejected Sihanouk's allega
tions that the United States was
supporting exile "free Cambod
ia" rebels plotting his over
throw. But it agreed to his re
quest for an end of programs
which ' since 1955 have given
Cambodia $365 million in U.S.
aid, including $95 million in mil
itary assistance.
Authorities here viewed Siha
nouk's actions with grave con
cern for Cambodia would be a
rich prize for Communist China
in its drive to gain the resourc
es of Southeast Asia. Red dom
ination of Cambodia would drive
a wedge between pro-Western
Thailand and South Viet Nam
and flank what is left of anti
Communist Laos.
-. Sihanouk must find some
source of aid to fill the vacuum
left by the end of American as
sistance, which has provided 40
Computer May Eliminate
Church Father as Author
CHICAGO (UPI) - A Scot
tish minister-mathematician de
scribed today how a computer
may eliminate St. Paul, the sol
dier-turned-apostle, as author of
nine oi tne 14 epistles attributed
to him In the New Testament
A Roman Catholic theology
professor -said that "absolutely
no conflict exists" between .the
computer findings of the Rev.
Angus Q. Morton, minister of
the Church of Scotland at Cul
ross, and the position of the Ro
man Catholic Church.
The Rev. Mr. Morton will
speak at the University of Chi
cago oriental Institute on 'The
Pauline Epistles: A Scientific
Approach," the' first in-depth
explanation of bis seven year
study. He has said the implica
tions of the study have deep
portents to Christianity, espe
cially Roman catholics.
. Confirms Opinion
But the Rev. William T. Cor-
telyou, CM., chairman of the
De Paul University Theology
Department and dean of its
graduate school, said the Pres
byterian minister s findings
"confirm a well-developed opin
ion and agree with what has
been taught by scriptural schol
ars for quite some time, though
this is confirmation from an un
expected source" referring to
the computer.

Conservative theologians, how
ever, ; believe that St. Paul
wrote all of the letters, or epis
tles-, that the Bible credits him
with.
The Rev. Mr. Morton was in
vited to air his views by-Prof.
Robert M. Grant of the univer
sity's divinity school, the only
theological school which has
asked to hear about the studv.
according to Morton.
Friday the Rev. Mr. Morton
will discuss criticisms some
theologians have expressed
about his work in a talk en
titled "The New Testament and
the Church Fathers in the Com
puter Age."
He told today how he tested
the original Greek of the epis-
ues Dy . sentence length, word
pattern, and the occurrence of
common words of Greek Drose
to establish their authorship.
rive Different Hands
In one of his first articles on
the subject, Morton said that
his computer tests showed Paul
wrote only Romans 1 and 2 Cor
inthians, Galatians and Phile
mon. The remaining nine came
from "at least five other
hands," Morton maintains.
"By applying with the help of
our computer, the seven tests
oi authorship (such as word and
sentence length), we discovered
that each one gave the same
result. Five of the 14 epistles
were indistinguishable," he
said.
I am convinced that the
computer-type study works,"
want said. However, some of
the differences among the epis
tles attributed to Paul, 1 think,
could be due to the different
circumstances In writing and
the use of different scribes. The
main interest I have in com
puters deals not only with the
New' Testament but also with
early Christian literature after
the . New Testament, where
analysis is badly needed."
Senate Committee
Slashes Projects
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Senate Public Works Committee
in a desperate effort to reach
some agreement with the House
Thursday slashed three contro
versial projects from its latest
authorization bill.
The committee eliminated its
approval for the Burns Creek
Dam and Reservoir in Idaho,
the Tortters Shoals Dam and
Reservoir in South Carolina and
Georgia and the Devils Jump
Dam and Reservoir in Tennes
see and Kentucky.
At the same time the com
mittee fashioned a bill which
would provide two-year authori
zations for all river basin pro
jects at a cost of $784 million.
The bill also included authori
zations for six projects costing
$166,847,000 which have been
rejected by the house.
The projects approved includ
ed the Knowles Dam in Mon
tana, the Cape Fear River Ba
sin in North Carolina, the Flint
River In Georgia, the Dardenelle
in Arkansas, the Waureka in
Oklahoma and the Missouri Riv
er Rank stabilization.
Mexican Worker
Pleads Not Guilty
KLAMATH FALLS (UPI) -The
brother of a Mexican har
vest worker sentenced to six
years in the state penitentiary
for the slaying of another har
vest worker has entered a plea
of guilty to being an accessory
after the fact.
Thomas Rodriguez, 22, ap
peared in Circuit Court Wednes
day. He was arrested a few
hours after the body of Rudy
Rodriguez, 43, was found In an
irrigation canal near the Oregon-California
border. The slay
ing occurred in a Malin harvest
camp.
Isabel Rodriguez pleaded
guilty to manslaughter shortly
after the killing.
The slain man was no relation
to the brothers.
Circuit Judge Donald A. Piper

military equipment, and con
tributed substantially to the na
tion's economy. .
Obvious and presumably ea
ger candidates to take off the
slack are Russia and Red China
both of which have been woo
ing Sihanouk with considerable
aid programs.
Russia Supplies Arms
Russia earlier this year sup
plied arms for the first time-anti-aircraft
guns and other
equipment. The Kremlin also
has offered to build a $40 mil
lion hydroelectric dam and a
technical institute.
Chinese Communist assistance
has been even greater. Peking
has supplied Cambodia with
textile, cement, metal working
and other plants. Even the East
European satellites Czechoslo
vakia, Poland and Hungary
have contributed some aid.
Administration officials said
Sihanouk, always nervous and
plagued by dark fears of in
trigue against his rule, appar
ently had been convinced the
United States was supporting
insignificant "Khmer Seri"
(Free Cambodian) exile groups
in Thailand and South Viet Nam
who broadcast threats against
his regime. - ,
