Chief Finds Little Support
In Attack On AF Officer
NOVATO, Calif. f PI ' -That
$15 parking warrant of
Air Force Major Alan W. San
ders has been paid and acting
Police Chief Robert J. Oi Gra
zia admitted today that some
times tiie life of a law enforce
ment officer can be a trying
one.
Di Crazia has oeen bombard
ed with letters and telegrams
since last week, when he ac
cused Sanders of action "un
becoming an officer and a
gentleman" for the major's re
action to a $15 warrant which
resulted from an unpaid $2
parking fine.
Sanders who had been trans
ferred to Viet Nam wrote a
letter to the acting chief say
ing he would welcome the ar
rest, preferably in Novalo, and
would cooperate fully in any ef
forts to get him out of the Far
East and back to California.
Oi Grazia. slightly miffed by
Sanders' action, turned a copy
of the citation and a record of
the action over to the Air Po
lice at Hamilton Air Force
Base. -
But Di Grazia admitted today
mat he may have acted in
haste. He said the letters and
telegrams which have flooded
his office were 20 to 1 against
him.
And Di Grazia said Sanders'
fine had been paid by a gen
erous citizen in Redwood City,
Calif., who forwarded a letter
and a $15 cashier's check.
He said the cashier's check
was applied to the fine because
there was no return address on
the envelope and no indication
as to who had purchased the
check.

would insure competency by
community college instructors.

policy w as necessary to guaran
tee that community college
credits can be transferred to in
stitutions of higher education.
He is vice chancellor for aca

New 'Something Box' Does Nothing
Except Sell Well As Christmas Gift
By GAY PAULEY
I'PI Women's Editor
NEW YORK (UP!) Now
starts the seasonal guessing
game what is it and what is
it supposed to do?
For instance. There is some
thing called the something box"
by those who are selling it in
this, the age of off-beat gifts
for the person on your list who
has everything else, as some
thing that "works as well in
darkness as in light."
"While it blinks," the blurb
continues, "you'll discover, if
you are sleepy, it will keep you
awake. If you're an insomniac,
it will probably put you to
sleep. . .
"Try it on your desk. You'll
find people thinking you've got
a compact computer, a spy
system, signals from your con
flict of interests firms; maybe
you're a scientist."
"Try it on the table at the
board meeting and see what
happens. . .
"Let us warn you, that unless
you use an axe you can't turn
it off.
"It .will keep on winking its
eight eyes in no recognizable
pattern and for. no apparent
reason for nearly a year. Then
it's dead as a mackerel and you
can't get it fixed."
A spokesman for the New
York firm marketing the
"something box" said the thing
it is a rectangle weighing six
pounds is one of its best-selling repeat after you and when it
aoes, its glass eyes iignt up in
a bloodshot malevolent gleam."
Shopping the stores and the
catalogs reveals that you can
buy a kit for making your own
"antiques"; one to build your
own grandfather's clock.
Buy a fidget stone of jade to
rub in moments of tension; a
pistol that slioots coins into toll
gate baskets; a pistol swizzle
stick, battery operated which
goes into mixing action when
the trigger is pulled;
A kit of five lubes of tooth
paste, non-alcoholic in content,
but flavored to taste like mar
tini, brandy, orange curacao,
rum or eggnog brandy;
An automatic lie pressor; fur
seal eyelashes; a stapler with
its supply of 5,000 staples pack
aged in florentine silver-plated
case;
And men's handkerchiefs per
manently imprinted with bright
red lipstick kLsses.
Christmas items.
"Not only are we getting or
ders by the thousands from the
United States," said a spokes
man, "but from all over the
world." Asked if the box were
supposed to do anything besides
sit there and blink, he added,
"absolutely nothing."
The box arrives at your house
already operating; the only way
to get rid of it other than
chopping it up with an axe is
to "turn it against the wall in
an unused closet." "Or," as the
stoic suggested, "give it to
some fellow who has no sense
of humor."
As usual, each Christmas
shopping season produces an
assortment of off - beat gifts.
This year, the number seems
greater than usual.
There is the dilemma dis
pensera transistorized, battery
operated gadget to be turned
on at will. "Dial your problem,
throw away apprehension,
watch the lights, and presto!
Your decision is made for you,"
said its marketers.
For those who want to have
some fun at parties or are just
lonesome enough to want to
hear themselves talk, there
is the bird with all the colors
of a parrot or macaw. The bird
is stuffed with a tape recorder
controlled by a couple of but
tons. "Say what you will," its pro
motion reads, "this fellow will

New Rifle Shoots Deadly Darts
WASHINGTON UPI - The
Defense Department is develop
ing a rifle that shoots darts in
stead of bullets.
A top Pentagon research ex
pert said today the darts are
only an inch long and about (lie
thickness of a pencil lead, but
are capable of inflicting a gap
ing wound almost as severe as
that caused by a dum-dum bul
let. He explained that the darts
have little fins that keep them
stabilized in flight. But when
they strike flesh, they lose their
stability and turn enctover-ond
in tile wound.
The early results were ob
tained in a project known as
"special purpose individual
weapon," announced by the
Army last February.
"The weapon could lw used
as both a rifle and a shoulder
fired grenade launcher," the
Army said. "Fully loaded, it is
expected to weigh no more
than the current .M14 rifle and
will significantly increase the
effectiveness of tlie combat sol
dier. "
The Army did not identify the
nature of tlie ammunition. The
defense expert who described
the tiny darts indicated that
much of (he increase in effec
tiveness would be due to the ex
treme light weight of the proj
ectiles as compared with regu
lar ammunition.
A soldier could carry thou
sands of tlie darts, and could
fire them either in separate
rounds or in a single deadly
stream, he said.
The expert added that the
new weapon would aot replace
the standard rifle.
