Red River Dam funding reaches Senate

By NANCY DALY
Managing Editor

Congressional action may halt or delay
construction of the Red River Dam.
depending on a US. Senate floor vote this
week and a subsequent Senate-House
conference committee decision.

In conflict with an earlier House ap—
propriation. the Senate Appropriations
comittee voted Friday to cut all federal
funding of the dam.

()N .ll'NE 3. the House Appropriations
Committee increased the Nixon ad-
ministration request for funding of the
dam in fiscal 1975. The house later af-
lirnied that action. appropriating $500,000
toward construction of the $27.6 million
project

Red River Dam has met strong op-
position from state environmental groups
and has emerged as a major campaign
issue in the CS Senate race between
Democratic (iov. Wendell Ford and
Republican Sen. Marlow Cook

The fiscal 1975 public works package.
including Red River Dam. will come
before the Senate for a vote Wednesday.
according to Rick Scanlan. legislative
assistant to Cook He predicted the Senate
will sustain the committee's rejection of
the dam.

Committee
refuses to give

recognition

By JANET OAKLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

A committee appointed by President
()tis Singletary to review the University
policy on campus solicitation of funds
unanimously rejected recently a request
by the American Cancer Society and
Kentucky Heart Association to receive the
same recognition officially given the
United Way of the Bluegrass.

United Way is the only such organization
to actively have the administration's
support as is stated in University
Governing Regulation Part XII-B: “The
United Way of the Bluegrass is designated
as the sole agency authorized to conduct
on-campus solicitation of contributions
from faculty and staff members in the
University system.

“THE UNIVERSITY offers a payroll
deduction plan to United Way of the
Bluegrass contributors. Other agencies
may be authorized by the Dean of Students
to use the University mail service for
solicitation. Any person violating these
provisions shall be subject, upon proper
notice. to eviction from the University
property."

Col. Charles Tucker. an executive vice
president of the American Cancer Society.
said the two organizations specifically
want to be included in the same procedure
in solicitation of funds from faculty and
staff as the United Way.

dam funding but a Senate-House con—
l'erence committee will restore ap-
propriations.

Construction of the dam will grind to a
halt if Congress fails to provide funding in
its 1975 budget. said Col. Charles Fiala.
Louisville district engineer for the Army
Corps of Engineers.

Fl.r\l..-\ SAID the Corps is presently
continuing the project design of the dam
and is working toward a mid-August
meeting with Red River Gorge landowners
affected by its construction. But ap-
propriations in the fiscal budget are
necessary to continue anything. he said.

Cook said Friday he was pleased “that
the Senate committee has realized the
project neither fulfills its objective nor
serves the interests of the people.” This
week Cook will mail letters to all members
of the Senate outlining his opposition to the
dam.

In the final environmental impact
statement released July 9. the Corps of
Engineers claimed “the total public in-
terest would be best served" by con-
struction of the dam.

Till: (‘UNTRUVERSIAL project had
been proposed to provide water supply for
12 Central Kentucky cities. flood protec-

tion for residents of Clay City and other
Powell County communities and
development of a recreational facility.
Ford. who supports construction of the
dam. criticized his campaign opponent
after the Senate committee action Friday.
"I‘m sure Senator Cook will take full
credit for this latest action, and perhaps he
delights in it."he said. “But I wonder how
delighted the people of Central Kentucky
will be when they face critical water
rationing. soaring water bills. no fire
protection and no job opportunities
because Marlow Cook denied them water
which the future will demand."

Widespread tennis craze brings about
image change and long waiting lines

.liist a few years ago tennis was

classified by many as a secondary sport .

accepted any more.

Now the game of tennis is very much in '

demand all across the country. At many
courts it has become a necessity to make
reservations to he assured of a place to
play.

BICt‘Al'SIC 0!" that and several other
reasons, tennis can no longer be con-
sideer just a sport for one‘s leisure time.

"It just seems like the big boom of tennis ;
across the country is almost out of con-
trol." said Bill Pieratt. associate director

of campus recreation. “They can‘t build L.

tennis courts fast enough."

Pieratt. who has been here for two
years. noted that in that short span there
has been a markable increase in the use of

the 18 campus courts next to the Seaton =

Center.

“THERE‘S No question about it. I ride ‘

my bike to campis in the morning and on
nice days half the courts are already being
played on at seven o‘clock.

“There is a continuous use of all the
courts from that time until the lights are
cut off at about 12:30." or until sundown
for the courts without lights. he added.

The public parks' officials have also
found their courts are no exception to this
current demand.

“WE'VE COMPLETED nine courts at
Shillito‘s Park and it helped some. but
there‘s so much interest in tennis now
there's still not enough courts." said John
Gettler. recreation director for the Metro
Parks and Recreation. “We have a
number of courts planned for next year.
but I don't think we'll be able to build
enough in five years."

Those planned for next year are at Ecton
Park. Lansdowne Merrick Park and
Castlewood Park in the north end, where
“There's really a shortage." noted Get-
tler.

He added that the interest in tennis has
been stimulated to the point where more
and more people are signing up for league
play and clinics than ever before.

programs and clinics in the public parks
are full for both mornings and afternoons.

“This interest has increased so much it's
hard for an individual that doesn't want to
get involved with league play to find a
court available." Gettler commented.

Because of the deficient amount of
public courts Gettler said in the past the
Metro Parks and Recreation Department
has "borrowed" the CK courts to host
state-wide tournaments.

ONE Sl'Cll tournament. slated to begin
on August 12. is expected to draw “200 to
300 youngsters from across the state." he
said.

I’ieratt feels this recent revival may be
due to the present influx of women in all
sports and increased media coverage of
tennis tournaments.

"You see many more women playing on
the courts and in other sports too just since
I‘ve been here." he explained. “And I
expect more since Wimbledon" (where
Americans were victors in both the men
and women singles).

Partisanship and impeachment don't mix

The House Judiciary Com—
mittee voted Saturday 27 to 11 to
recommend President Nixon‘s
impeachment to the House of
Representatives. The figures
tossed around by various
representatives look for a margin
of 60 to 100 votes against the
president as the Senate gears up
for a trial.

One of the most accurate vote
counters on Capitol Hill. Sen.
Robert C. Byrd. D-W. Va.. stated
on ABC‘s “Issues and Answers",
that “based on recent develop-

ments“ he thought the House
would vote to impeach.

House Majority Leader Thomas
P. O'Neill Jr., D-Mass., and
House Deputy Whip John
Brademas. D-Ind.. also predicted
impeachment. suggesting a
margin of 70 votes or more in the
435-member House (248
Democrats and 187 Republicans).

With the House, decision a
foregone conclusion. House
Judiciary Committee hearings
indicated that a Senate im-
peachment trial would incur

problems. Precedent is singular
when presidential impeachment
is discussed, therefore no one
knows what rules the Senate will
adopt for the trial.

The Republicans will press for
due process procedures used in
common criminal proceedings
and the Democrats will stress that
common criminal trial rules do
not apply and strict rules
governing admission of evidence
and testimony are not necessary.

The vagueness of the con-

stitution will lend credibility to
both sides.

Hopefully partisanship will not
mar the proceedings. The
American public will lose if the
Senate turns the trial into a
political contest.

If the Senate does not put itself
above political squabbling and
conduct a trial that is fair to the
president and fair to the
American people then the whole
process will have been a waste of
time.

Revenuers put the pinch to the lobstermen

STONINGTON. Maine — The
lobsterman's house is a pleasant
Cape Cod painted a yellow much
favored in these parts. It
overlooks the sea here at the tip
of the Blue Hill peninsula. and in
its small backyard lobster traps
are stacked and stand next to a
late—model pickup truck that the
fisherman will use to carry them
to his boat. Inside. all is neat and
modest with new appliances and
acolor TV. But there is trouble in
this picture of hard work.
frugality and decent living.

“I think it is the' most
frightening thing I‘ve ever been
through in my life. I'm so glad I
don‘t have to go back again. Just
the thought of going back
again...” the fisherman's wife
exclaimed as she told about their
in:erview with the IRS auditor
over in Ellsworth. The ex-
perience so jolted them that
neither she nor her husband wish
to have their names used.

THEY‘D HAD enough bad
news from the IRS. which about
a year ago began a sweep of the
lobstermen whomaketheir living

offthe 3.000 miles of in—again. out-
again Maine coast. The reason
for the sweep. according to
Whitney Wheeler. the IRS‘s
district director. is that. “We
examined certain buyers of
seafood and made comparisons
of dollar amounts of their pur-
chases with the reported sales of
their suppliers (the lobstermenl.
We found discrepancies which
were indicative of non-
compliance." This is
bureaucratic argot for an in—
cursion into the lives of the
hundredsof families who conduct
this highly individualistic, highly
traditional industry.

From the lRS's standpoint the
lobstermen were doing it all
wrong, although they’ve hH‘
doing it the same way for at least
a century. They had been doing
such things as treating the other
man in the boat besides the
captain 7— the stern man as he is
called « as a junior partner

in money. They are paid a portion
of the catch - a quarter of the
lobsters or a third of the scallops.
They sell their shares under their
own namesgetting the best price
they can from the dealers. just
like the captain-owners of these
40-foot craft. They may not be
partners in the legal sense. but in
human terms they share the risks
of the venture, profiting in the
good times and going without in
the bad like the captains. ln
marriage we call this kind of
sharing a partnership.

THE IRS has also been critical
of the way the fishermen keep
their books. But as Aldo (Thimei,
the manager of the Stonington
Lobster Coop. explained. “They
don't know how to do
bookkeeping. they know how to
fish and that's about it.“ Their
knowledge may catch lobsters
but it also attracts the IRS, which
seems to have blundered in here
without any understanding of
how these people make their
living.

Comment

‘Bloody Harlan' to a year-long stalemate

(Editor‘s note: This comment is the first
of a two part article dealing with the past
history and present confrontations of the
Brookside mine in Harlan County.)

By BOB GRISS

“IF YOU GO TO HELL, IT‘S YOUR
OWN FAULT" reads a sign alongside
Highway 119 on the way to Harlan County.
The irony of this biblical warning is that it
seems to absolve both the coal companies
and the United Mine Workers.

'l‘he miners of eastern Kentucky have
been riding out the booms and busts of the
national coal industry since this sub-
sistence agricultural region was tran-
sformed into a coalexporting field around
the time of the First World War. Since
then, wages have risen or fallen with the
fluctuating demand for coal. and the
miners have endured whatever safety and
working conditions which the coal com-
panies could get away with.

(‘tlhll’l‘I'l‘l'l'IUN WITHIN the industry

neglecting safety in the marginal mines of

Kentucky to compensate for

The l'MW has

of coal miners for wages. safety and
pension benefits during prosperous times.
but its overall obedience to the logic of the
capitalist system has forced the UMW to
frequently abandon the miners‘ struggle
when they needed the most help.

The bitter strikes of the 1930's in which
Harlan was baptized “Bloody Harlan" did
win the miners the right to join a union of
their choice, but what the union could do to
promote the interests of the miners has
always been severely restricted in a
capitalist system. The L' MW strike at the
Brookside mine is the latest dramatic
example of how a company can continue to
resist workers‘ efforts to gain control over
their working conditions.

Sl'l'ltltrjl) 0N BY the new reform
leadership of Arnold Miller. the need to
replenish the depleting UMW Welfare and
Retirement Fund. and to increase the
national leverage of the Union just months
before negotiating another three-year
contract with the Bituminous (‘oal
Operators Association. the industry
representative of the largest coal com-
panies. the United Mine Workers had re-
dedicated itself to the goal of “organizing
the unorganized" at Miller‘s first annual
convention in December 1972. But UMW
efforts to organize the highly lucrative
strip mine operations which are
threatening to transfer coal fields from
Appalachia to the Far West were proving
unsuccessful when the Brookside miners
surprised the UMW International by
voting for UMW representation as their
contract agent.

TllH l'NlON saw this modified contract
as a threat to its standard national con-
tract and as a compromise of the integrity
of its commitment to its miners. The

 

National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
Administrative Judge in Washington.
DC. Maurice Bush. concurred in his
decision of May 1. 1974 that “Eastover
deliberately insisted upon the non-
acceptable no-strike clause for the purpose
ofavoiding coming to terms with the union
on any kind of collective bargaining
agreement."

Moreoever. Judge Bush explained that it
was clear that the UMW has found “no
practical means" of preventing “spur of
the moment wildcat strikes" which are
very common in the coal fields. and that
acceptance of such a responsibility ”could
well wreck the union financially.“

There is no question that the vertically-
integrated Duke Power (‘0.. with annual
profits of $90 million in 1973 and with the
permission of the North Carolina Utility
(‘ommission to pass any increase in its
costs of production on to the consumer in
higher electricity rates. could easily afford
the L'MW contract. But reflecting the
values of an entrenched capitalist class in
the South. Duke Power claims that it will
not accept a contract that allows its
workers to have any control over the
safety and working conditions in the mine.

Dl'KE 18 only willing to accept a union if
its commitment to its members does not
interfere with its primary function of
providing a stable and dependable supply
of labor to the capitalist. But perhaps as
important in Duke Power's unwillingness
to reach a settlement with the UMW is the
fact that the management of the Eastover
Mining (‘0.. which has been the principal
negotiators with the UMW. is headed by
the president Norman Yarborough and
attorney Logan Patterson who have close
ties to the Harlan (Tounty Coal Operators
Association and a long history of op-
position to the UMW,

It is generally believed a Uth victory
in the Brookside mine would signal a
resurgence of support for the UMW in
eastern Kentucky where less than one-
third of the coal is now produced by UMW
miners.

A panel of prominent citizens sym-
pathetic to labor at the Citizens Public
Inquiry into the Brookside strike which
convened in Harlan (‘ounty in March. 1974

reached the conclusion that the Eastover

Mining Co. is acting not primarily for the
Duke Power Co. but for the Harlan County
Coal Operators Association.

DL‘KE POWER has been able to resist a
settlement with the UMW for more than a
year because the strike has been limited to
the Brookside mine which accounts for
less than four per cent of the coal Duke
Power Co. consumes annually. Brookside
miners have been able to keep their mine
closed since October 1973 by maintaining
an effective picket line. But the picketers
have had to withstand armed thugs and
scabs which the company has employed in
order to try to re-open the mine. and a
court injunction which the company
requested from a county judge. who
himself owned a coal comapny. to limit
picketing to a symbolic presence of three
picketers at each of the two mine en-
trances.

ln defiance of this injunction. striking
miners have been joined on the picket line
by community support groups like the
[NW Booster Club which has sponsored
sunrise worship services at the mine en-
trance to block strike-breakers from en-
tering the mine. and the Brookside
Women‘s (‘lub which has prevented scabs
from crossing the picket line by lying down
in the road or ”switching“ them with
sticks.

Many of the picketers have been
arrested for violating the court injunction.
and retired or disabled miners. women
and children have been fined heavily or
locked in jail. When we think of violence in
labor disputes we usually think of force
used by workers rather than by
management because it is easier to detect
violence on the part of the strikers when
they don‘t have the benefit of laws
protecting their interests. or of sym-
pathetic officials to enforce those laws.

The Eastover Mining Co. a wholly-
owiied subsidiary of the Duke Power
(‘ompany in North Carolina. which is the
third largest consumer ofsteam coal in the
United States. refused to accept a stan-
dard UMW contract for its Brookside
miners after they voted to be represented
by the [NW The company demanded
instead a no-strike clause, lower royalty
payments to the Union‘s Welfare and

Retirement Fund and the UMW‘s con-
tractual obligation to financially com-
pensate the company for any actions of the
miners‘ safety committee which un-
necessarily reduced corporate profits.

The UMW had not signed a single new
contract in this region during the last
decade since many coal companies can-
celed their UMW contracts when the
market collapsed in the early 1960's. It is
morally fitting. if not logistically desirable
that Miller's commitment to “organize the
unorganized" and to return power to the
rank and file should be tested in the coal
fields of eastern Kentucky. where the
UMW has frequently abandoned the in-
terests of the striking coal miners during
hard times in the past.

THE (‘lRfl'lT (‘OL'RT Judge. F. Byrd
Hogg. whoissued the injunction. dismissed
the jury for finding the picketers not guilty
and himself imposed heavy fines and stiff
jail sentences upon the picketers.

But while the striking miners were able
to halt production at the Brookside mine.
Duke Power has been able to increase
production at its other mines in eastern
Kentucky and purchase additional coal 0n
the market. The UMW has been prohibited
by law from striking these other mines of
Duke Power. because they have separate
labor contracts which have not yet expired
with the Southern Labor Union.
Similarly. other mines already organized
by the L'MW can not strike in support of
the Brookside mine because that would
constitute a violation of their labor con—
tracts

Arnold Miller has already ordered the
I'MW miners at the US. Steel mine at
Lynch in Harlan (‘ounty to refrain from
engaging in sympathy strikes for the
Brookside miners because that would
make the UMW vulnerable for a lawsuit
over contract violation, Even more
discouraging is the fact that Duke Power is
receiving large quantities of coal from the
l'MW-organized Westmoreland mine in
neighboring Virginia which can not exert
any pressure on Duke Power to settle the
Brookside strike.

Care leader reports
Trauma effect of rape

Ry LYN HACKER
Kernel Staff Writer

When someone is raped. the
victim usually experiences a
psychological trauma in stages,
according to Ernie Jordan, a
psychologist at the Com-
prehensive (‘are (‘enter in
Lexington.

Jordan. who trained in
heterosexual dysfunction (sexual
problems) and is a Com—
prehensive ("are area team
leader. roughly outlined four
stages of the trauma.

TIIE FIRST IS shock. “This is
a situation similar to a sudden
death in the family. A feeling that
this couldn't happen to me."
Jordan said, It is sometimes
indicated physiologically, he
added.

The shock might serve as an
anesthesic leaving the victim
with confused and hazy
recollections. Jordan explained.

The second phase is the vic-
tim's development of resentment
and self-recrimination. “Victims
usually develop a hatred or
resentment for all they have to go
through after reporting a rape."
Jordan said.

"SHE QI'ESTIONS her
reactions at the time of the rape.
For example. she may constantly
ask herself if she was the in-
stigator. did she encourage the
guy. should she have fought
harder. This stage usually
happens after the anesthesic
state wears off."

Jordan called the third stage
the “suffering stag ' This is the
point when tte rsuty of what
happened bec. mes apparent to
the victim.

The fourth stage is the
resolution of the trauma. “This is
where the victim tells herself her
experience was unfortunate. but
it is over." Jordan said. “She
realizes no one can tell she has
been raped by looking at her, and
those who know have forgotten
about it. So she starts making a
life for herself again."

SOMETIMES there is a
pathological condition which
develops when the victim can’t
forget the experience, Jordan
explained. This condition can
stop at any stage of the trauma
process causing “con-
tamination“ in the victim.

He said if the condition
developed at the shock stage, for

example. it could result in
hospitalization for the victim.

If the pathological condition is
mild. “we hope the victim will
have some sort of corrective
experience," he said.

“FOR INSTANCE. if the
victim sustains a fear of
penetration, we hope a boyfriend
or someone like that can put up
with the fear and trauma and

psychologist in the out-patient

about being raped," she said.
"and many are not true. But if a
