2 A Iowa City Press-Citizen-Thursday, November 21, 1974 KYOTO, Japan (AP) Taking a break from official business, President Ford turned tourist today in Japan's former capital and ancient cultural center, visiting shrines and temples and dining with two teen-age apprentice geishas in' attendance. Hundreds of leftist demonstrators opposed to the Presi-; dent's visit to Japan and to the government of Prime Minister1 Kakuei Tanaka matched in Kyoto's streets into the night. But Ford got only fleeting glimpses of a few of them, and they were grinning despite their raised, clenched fists. All in all, it was a relaxed, pleasant day for the American chief executive. The President visited the old imperial palace where Emper-.

or Hirohito was enthroned in 1928, the 371-year-old Nijo Castle and the lakeside Temple of the Golden Pavilion covered in 22-carat gold foil. The weather was chilly and there were intermittent showers, but he wore neither a hat nor a topcoat. Ford was serenaded at the Nijo Castle by women playing 16th century instruments which they picked like a zither. He tried his hand at it, but the noise he produced was not exactly musical. The President told newsmen he thought his visit to Japan was "going wonderfully.

It couldn't be better, substantively and otherwise." The President said he was enjoying learning something about the history and culture of Japan. "Its simplicity inspires one to make the most of what you have;" he commented. A Japanese meal the first of the President's visit was arranged at a local restaurant for his last night in Geishas were hired to add color and entertainment. Local officials said 34 organizations applied for permits to hold a demonstration protesting Ford's visit, and 35,000 to 50,000 people might turn out. But the demonstrations were to be held in the late afternoon at a time when the President was to be in his hotel two miles away, and large numbers of police were on duty to insure that he was not disturbed.

There have been no other demonstrations since Ford's arrival in Japan Monday, when 2,000 leftists held a rally two miles from the airport and 400 of them clashed with the police. Kyoto, in southwest Japan, ia the country's third largest city Ford visiting Kyoto, dines with geishas and was the capital from 794 until 1868. It was the only major Japanese city which American bombers stayed away from in World War II. Justice Department sues Warden promises changes at Fort Madison prison Also, Brewer said, no toys', will be permitted in the visiting room except throw-away color- ing books provided by the prison "because of a potential con-, traband and sanitation prob-' lem." Neither will there be any tension of funeral and sickbed' visits by prisoners beyond, those now permitted, he Brewer said, however, that he will set aside an hour on the' first Wednesday of each month when concerned relatives of in- mates can "visit with myself or another member of the staff" to follow up the work started at-the WOP meeting two weeks, ago. WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department has gone to court to strip the Bell System of its 60-year-old grip on the nation's telephone industry in a move to spur competition and drive phone rates down.

The lawsuit filed Wednesday against the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. signaled the beginning of a years-long government battle- to carve up the world's largest privately owned corporation into competing enterprises. claimed that, contrary to the department's goal, a government victory would push phone rates up. The company is the biggest one the government has ever tried to break up. The suit is only the second in recent history in which the government has attempted a major restructuring of an industry dominated by one company or a handful of companies.

As trading began this morn- on the New York Stock Exchange, shares were delayed in opening because of an influx of orders, an exchange spokesman said. The market moved generally lower, with the Dow Jones, average of 30 industrials down, 4.54 points at 605.05 after the, first hour. Brokers ascribed the decline partly to an unsettled response among investors to the Justice Department move. But they noted a number of other continuing concerns as well, among them the nationwide coal strike and the economic slump. Government victory in the Bell System case and another pending suit against International Business Machines would have immeasurable impact on the American corporate structure.

The effect on consumers will be more difficult to judge. "I don't believe we can promise this is going to lower rates," said Keith I. Clearwaters, deputy assistant attorney general in the department's antitrust division. But the result "may be a downward pressure on those rates" if the department succeeds in the effort to introduce competition into the telecommunications industry, Clearwaters said. However, Board Chairman John D.

deButts said the government action could fragment the nation's telephone network and "if that happens, telephone service would deteriorate and cost much, much more." Clearwaters told reporters it will be at least three years before the case comes to trial in U.S. District. Conrt here. because of complicated argu- Rockefeller defends his pardon act in dissemination" of rules and other information to the families of inmates. He promised that "we will develop a summation of necessary information" which will be forwarded to each inmate's relatives and prospective visitors.

Brewer said these other requested changes will be implemented: Mail delivery to inmates on Saturday will be commenced. Minor children can be taken to the visiting room by any adult on an inmate's approved visiting list. The visiting room is being repainted and a coffee machine will be installed. The State Board of Parole will be asked if it will permit prison officials to share with inmates' relatives information, received by the board. Brewer said, however, that other requests submitted by the women must be denied.

Their request "for removal of the candy machine from the visiting room is denied as it is in conflict with the needs and desires of many other people," he said. FORT MADISON, Iowa (AP) The hours when outsiders may visit Iowa State Penitentiary inmates are being increased, says Warden Lou Brewer. The warden said Wednesday that is one of several changes being instituted as a result of his meeting two weeks ago with a group-of 10 women calling themselves WOP Wives of Prisoners. He informed Mrs. Vera Hoff-editz of Burlington, leader of the group, of the changes by letter dated Nov.

19. The women had requested that the number of visits permitted be raised from three to four per month and the length of visit reduced from -four to three hours. Brewer's letter, however, indicated the number of monthly visits permitted will be increased to four, but the length of visits will be reduced only on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Marriage counseling will be made available in the visiting room at the conclusion of vis-iting hours for those who re quest it, the warden said. "Hopefully, this program can begin by the first of the year," the warden said in his letter to Mrs.

Hoffeditz. Brewer added that prison officials admit to "a breakdowi Decaflhs Elizabeth A. Leona Kenney Recycling of phonebooks faces problem Persons who wanted to contribute to the ecology movement by offering their old telephone books for recycling are being urged to "hold the phone." According to Terry Taylor of City Carton the heat-seal glue used in binding telephone books makes them almost useless for recycling. The glue is not water soluble and consequently cannot be effectively processed in the paper mills, Taylor said. Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.

had earlier suggested that ecology-minded customers leave their old phone books with newspapers to be picked up for recycling. New telephone directories are being distributed as of today, and Mike Johnson, local Bell manager, said fewer directories will be sent out, due to the nationwide paper shortage. Robbery suspect arrested A Lexington, man was arrested Wednesday in connection with an apparent armed robbery attempt, at a Coralville gas station. Charged with assault with intent to commit robbery was Arliss W. Graves, 28.

Authorities said Graves was arrested about 11:40 p.m. Wednesday by Coralville police and sheriff's deputies. A man allegedly entered the Pester Derby gas station, at 807 First Avenue, Coralville, with a gun last Thursday night, but was frightened off by-customers before taking any-cash, police said. Graves was being held in the Johnson County jail today pending arraignment. Solon man faces charge Johnson County authorities have charged a Solon man with illegal use of the telephone for allegedly making obscene calls.

Charged is Niel Lamansky, 20, of Solon, who was arrested after a lengthy investigation, according to Sheriff Gary Hughes; Lamansky was arrested at a Coralville motel Tuesday night after allegedly making calls to a Solon woman. ments about the data is required to produce. The IBM suit, filed nearly six years ago, is only now approaching a trial which the judge estimates will take another two years. The case turns on the company's relationship with Western Electric Co. a wholly-owned subsidiary which manufactures telecommunications equipment and sells virtually all of it to the Bell System, and with Bell Telephone Laboratories a subsidiary jointly owned by and Western Electric.

What the Justice Department wants is a court order forcing to get rid of Western Electric and perhaps splitting Western Electric into two or-more competing firms. Clearwaters said the department also may seek divestiture of Bell Labs, the system's re-' search and development arm and the nation's largest industrial laboratory Liquor agent case dismissed The State Department of Public Safety has dismissed its case against a liquor control agent from Iowa City. Attorneys for agent Francis W. Sueppel of 30 Norwood Drive, said today State Public Safety Commissioner Charles Larson notified the State Executive Council earlier this week that the case has been dropped. Sueppel was ordered to transfer to Fort Dodge earlie this year, or face automatic dismissal.

He challenged the order in a Johnson County District Court suit, alleging that the transfer-order and automatic dismissal were illegal. His suit alleged that the public safety department has not set forth uniform rules for the transfer of agents as; required by law, and that Sueppel was initially denied a hearing before the State Executive Council prior to his transfer and automatic dismissal.

Rockefeller testified today that when he pardoned a jailed former state Republican official for health reasons, he was not told that some of the medical reports might not have been true. "I was satisfied his life was in danger," Rockefeller testified at opening House hearings on his nomination to be vice president. Rockefeller said he pardoned former state GOP Chairman L. Judson Morhouse in 1970, who had been jailed in connection with a bribery attempt, after seeing doctors' affidavits that, his life was in danger. i When Judiciary Committee chairman Peter W.

Rodino, asked a long series of questions on Rockefeller's, knowledge of how the affidavits were secured and whether all of them were accurate Rockefeller said he would supply detailed answers in writing. Later, Rep. Robert McClory, asked Rockefeller simply whether he had any knowledge that some of the affidavits saying Morhouse's life was in danger in jail might not have been true. Rockefeller replied: "I have no knowledge of that." A survey by the Associated Press found only five senators inclined to vote against Rockefeller's confirmation, 79 for it and 16 uncommitted.
