Ten of the 11 Republican candidates running for the 15th District Congressional seat were there, with the Rev. William Drury the only candidate not appearing. At the end of the evening, State Rep. Marvin Miller, Sr., one of the candidates, took the floor to reveal that there is currently a federal strike force in Pennsylvania looking into the Shapp administration and corruption in state government. Another candidate, A1 Lewis, a former Lebanon County district attorney, had called earlier in the evening for such a strike force. Miller urged Lewis to tell him about any first hand knowledge he had of any wrongdoing and he would inform the investigators, “because I ’ve been asked to play that role in this thing.” Miller later said he had been contacted by F B I agents out of New Jersey looking for any corruption dealing with the Shapp administration. The crowd stayed with the candidates throughout most of their five minute talks, even though many were reiterating positions already familiar to the audience. Although interest was starting to flag after more than an hour of this, it was rapidly revived during a series of questions from the floor. Warwick High School English teacher Wanda Shirk asked each candidate to answer “in one sentence” whether or not he thought detente was good or bad for this country and why; — Lititz Planning Commission Chairman Dennis Craig asked all the candidates to explain “How can we have relatively full employment and control inflation at the same time?” and, The Lititz environmental committee chairman, Phil McCloud, asked any candidate who cared to, to state his position on gun control. The candidates wasted no time getting to the microphone to respond. Miller was first to answer Mrs. Shirk’s question on detente, quipping on his way to the mike, “That’s what I like — people who reduce things to their simplest form. How many words may I use?” He then stated that if the alternative to detente is “sending American troops to Angola, for example, or something like that,” then “I ’m for detente.” Richard Mohler, a former foreign service officer — said detente is good because without it, the only alternative is to go back to the more than 25 years of Cold War confrontation “when we were never sure what we might do to solve problems.” Robert Walker — said he does not believe the detente policy has been in the best interests of the United States, and that any foreign policy decision should be grounded in our own national interest first. Lancaster Mayor Richard Scott — said detente is good for this country if both sides In this issue Business Directory 18 Church News 16 Classified Ads 20,21 Editorial Page 4 Sports Section 6,7 Women’s 10,11 are “playing under the same ground rules, which we are not.” He said, “The United States is playing under its normal moralistic, good-fellow game, and the Russians are playing it exactly the opposite. We’re the laughing stock in the Soviet world because, as we are playing the game of detente, they are building up their armed forces and it’s changing the balance of the world. Donald Krank — said he agreed with Scott’s position. Darvin Boyd — said detente is favorable If both sides live up to it. “If they don’t and we find out in the SALT I and SALT II talks that the Soviet Union is breaking the agreement, we should stop the agreement and tell the world.” A1 Lewis — summed his position up this way: “Fight for peace but play under the same rules and play tough.” Alonzo Baxter — after asking Mrs. Shirk for her definition of detente (briefly, understanding and easing of tensions with the Soviet Union), he said, “Yes, if that’s what detente is.” Norman Aamodt — said detente is hazardous, good or bad. Herbert Mearig — said detente is good if it can keep brush fires from breaking into conflagrations. “But the rules of the game must be uniform, on site inspection and tin elimination of these third underworld revolutions which they are shipping to other countries.” All the candidates chose to answer McCloud’s question on whether they were opposed to gun control and some also gave an opinion on a new bill that bans Saturday night specials, which came out of committee Tuesday afternoon. Boyd (first to answer) — “I ’m against it (gun control), period.” He said he had originally thought there should be some control of Saturday night specials but has a big problem defining just what a Saturday night special is. He said we should punish the people who use the guns to commit crimes, not punish the guns. Lewis — said he supports the mandatory sentencing provision of the new bill (sentencing of those convicted of using a gun while committing a felony), but added, “I think we have to do something about Saturday night specials, but I haven’t seen a definition that would solve the problem.” Walker — said he is opposed to any and all gun control measures. Mohler — said he is opposed to gun control. Aamodt — said we have a Constitutional right to own firearms. Miller—said he is opposed to gun control, but favors mandatory sentencing. Baxter — noting that most crimes are crimes of passion, and committed just H R . J Pietà Graces Main St James Lippart, 201 New Haven Drive, has kept the pietà pictured above in storage for over 15 years awaiting the time when it would be given a place of honor in a roadside prayer stop. Lippart purchased the pietà from Vince Lombardo, a Lancaster wrecking contractor. Lombardo demolished the Sacred Heart Academy on the comer of Ann and Orange streets, Lancaster, in 1963. The academy, where the pietà had been housed closed its doors in 1958 after 90 years of operation during which time hundreds of students filled the halls and classrooms of the parochial school. Lippart said he discovered the pietà about 1960 when he and a friend were on a scavenging tour looking for antiques and other unusual items. When asked what he planned to do with the four-foot high statue, Lombardo told Lippart that he’d probably throw it away. Lippart said he visulaized the pieta in a roadside stop and offered $20 for it. Lombardo told him to make out the check to the Catholic Relief Fund, adding, “When I see this at the roadside, as you say, you’ll get your money back.” That was more than 15 years ago. Lippart still wants to carry out his plans for the prayer-rest stop, but he intends to wait until he builds a home out in the country before choosing a spot for it. Meanwhile the beautiful pieta can be seen in the window of Lipparts of Lititz, 46 E . Main St., where it is on display in honor of the Easter season. one time, he said that something needs to be done to remove handguns from easy accessibility before these crimes are committed. It’s too late when it’s over, he said. Krank — said he opposed gun control. Mearig — said he opposes gun control. Scott — said the answer is to lock up the people who use guns and “keep them there — don’t let them out for weekends or whatever.” The candidates all chose to take a stab at Craig’s question: “How can we have relatively full employment and still control inflation?” Aamodt (first to answer) — believes the answer lies in this country competing in the world market and making a better product. “If what we make is competitive in the world market, the dollar is (Continued on Page 19] \w :-, •Wr % !

Dale Winger confirmed! Three of the threats were made to the High School and one to the Middle School. Three came at the lunch hour and one came in about an hour past the lunch period, Dr. Winger said. He said the district had taken “normal precautions” and evacuated the buildings on all four occasions, and had called in Lititz police to investigate. The matter is now under police investigation, Dr. Winger said. He declined to comment on any further details so as not to handicap the police investigation, he said. “The district takes all of these threats as serious matters,” he said. He said that Warwick District would cooperate fully with the police if an arrest is made in relation to the bomb threats, and that the district is also “seriously considering” filing a civil suit for damages against anyone arrested in regard to the threats. Police Chief George Hicks said his department is spending a large amount of time on the threats and has several leads. He said police are interested in talking to any persons with facts concerning the case, and that if such persons come forward to police, their information will be kept confidential.
