Show 4A Sun Advocate, Price, Utah Wednesday, March 5, 1980 CAP board should govern Headstart classic example of governmental Catch-2seems to have landed in Southeastern Utah. The Community Action Program Executive Board voted last month to dismiss Headstart Director Lynette Hadden. However, the 'Headstart Policy Council exercised power granted by the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare and A 2 vetoed the decision. The Executive board is charged under its charter with the legal and fiscal responsibility for Headstart. However, it apparently lacks power to regulate some of the headstart programs. Authority generally given to one entity such as a school board, city council, or county commission has been given to two governing agencies in the case of Headstart: the CAP Executive Board and the Headstart Policy Council. The existance of two governing bodies with equal authority makes it very difficult to initiate or follow through on new ideas. It is also very easy to halt or slow actions as in the case of Ms. Hadden. HEW spokespersons explain that the Headstart Policy Councils are set up across the country to insure quality Headstart Programs. In many areas there is no CAP Executive Board to regulate. Where no CAP program exists, the parents of Headstart children, as members of the Headstart Policy Council, govern the program. The parents are closely connected with the program through their children and can offer meaningful input. However, in about half of the Headstart Programs where a CAP Executive Board does exist, a system for conflict is apparent. Concern for Headstart children and important program issues could be lost in a play for power between the two governing agencies. Problems cannot be resolved in this atmosphere. Without the generous aid of the parents in the Policy Council and the five men and women on the CAP Executive Board, a quality Headstart Program in the past would not have been possible. But continued conflict can only decay a healthy If I'm elected president, I promise you a totally incredible experience. r Jack Anderson program. on flow of information among the colonists.

Thanks, Frank For a quarter-centurRep. Frank Thompson, has been one of the most respected members of Congress. He looks as if he were cast for the role by Hollywood. He is debonair but distinguished, with a magnificent white mane, and seems through some knack of carriage to be larger and more imposing than he is. He also has mastered the art of imagery, and has the oratorical, artillery and the brains to be a House leader. It came as a shock to his colleagues, therefore, to learn that he had been caught by the FBIs candid camera during the ABSCAM operation. In fact, he was the star of one of the most vivid scenes. He was allegedly filmed engaging in a National Liberation Front from Nicaguara casta a shadow over President Carters policy for protecting this countrys vital oil life line from the Middle East.

But the lawyer may have a big job ahead of him. Iran and Panama do not currently have a mutual extradition treaty, so the shah appears to be safe for now.

We have reported repeatedly that U.S. computers have been converted to military use in the Soviet Union. Three years ago we wrote a story that stopped the sale of a computer to the Russians. But we could never find out who Through cooperation of the groups and consultation of legal authorities, one of the governing entities should be designated as solely responsible. The designated entity should then be receptive to input from the other group in order to provide an effective Headstart Program. The CAP Executive Board, made up of members of the public, private and low' income areas of the community, is qualified to offer a representative opinion. We feel it is in the best interests of the Headstart Program if regulation of the program is The Stamp Act of 1711 was a major source of difficulty between the American Colonies and England.

What is now becoming clear is that the Sandinista guerrillas are now being trained and armed by Cubans in Nicaguara and then infilitrated into El Salvador and Guatemala to and governments help destroy to them with favorable regimes replace Havana and Moscow, Instead of actively opposing this communist pro-U.- i ninin domino strategy for Central America, the Carter Administration is moving full speed ahead with a $70 million aid program that will help the Sandinistans consolidate their control over Nicaguara. The Sandinistans objective is to establish Nicaguara as a Central American beachead for the eventual Castroite conquest of the petroleum fields in southern Mexico and control of the Caribbean and its 42 oil refineries used to turn the Middle East oil into gasoline and fuel oil products for the U.S., and the region. What isnt generally realized is that seventy-fiv- e per cent of all the oil imported into the U.S. some 30 per cent total U.S. transits the Caribbean. Thus, consumption the Caribbean rim and basin is a petroleum focal point.

The Middle East may be the petroleum pump, but the Caribbean is the nozzle. Supertankers sailing from the Persian Gulf around Africa do not dock directly in tJ.S. Atlantic or Gulf ports. These vast vessels transfer their cargoes at the Trinidad, Curhcao or the Virgin Islands into standard size tankers which then sail on to the Eastern or Southern seaboards of U.S. Venezuelan oil also moves northward throught the Mona, Windward and Yucatan channels in the Caribbean. Not all of this oil is crude.
