It's time they are taxed the same as U.S. earnings," Church said. Following his speech, Church ap Ffr ft, ali vT v3 I-- x5lf VJ Wn r-aV A I Li By DAVID BAUER Enquirer Reporter Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Frank Church (D- Idaho) told reporters before a speech to the AFL-CIO convention Thursday the extent of his campaign in Ohio will not be decided until after "an assessment of my chances" in the June 8 primary. A member of Church's staff said that assessment will begin today in Washington, D.C., when the senator and his campaign aides meet Church flatly denied he was a part of a "stop (Jimmy) Carter movement," adding a major part of his decision will be based on how much money can be raised for a media campaign in the state.

ALTHOUGH DECLINING to rule out the possibility he won't campaign extensively in Ohio, Church did say he was rejecting competitor Rep. Morris K. Udall's (D-Ariz.) suggestion he stay out of the state. Udall made the suggestion Wednesday, saying if both he and Church campaigned hard in the state, the result would be to split the vote and insure a victory for former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter and probably a first ballot nomination at the Democratic convention.

Church also rejected statements that the Arizona congressman stayed out of primaries where Church had shown strength and expected the same in return. "Mo Udall chose to withdraw because he looked at the polls and decided It was in his best interest to withdraw," he said. In fact, Church suggested it perhaps should be Udall who stays out of the Ohio primary, saying, "Any candidate who hopes to gain the nomination must show that he can win in the primaries. Udall must recognize that he has not won." WITH ALL the talk about stopping Carter, it was timely that the former governor struck back at his critics in his speech to the same convention following Church's address. "We've seen this campaign come the full circle now," he said.

"It's gone from 'Jimmy to stop Carter. People who didn't know me then, now oppose me. "But my critics don't want to stop me, they want to stop the reforms I stand for," Carter said. "My critics are those who want to continue politics as usual." Saying It was time "to start striving for unity" in the Democratic Party, the former governor added, "our opponents are the Republicans. "Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford are Just tweedle dee and twee-die dum.

There's no difference between them." Carter stressed to the convention delegates that he would support the full employment bill, national health Insurance and would sign a bill repealing the "right to work" clause in the Taft-Hartley Act if sent to him by Congress. THE RECEPTION given Carter by the delegates both before and after his speech was polite, but didn't match the response Church got following his speech and a brief question and answer session. The senator centered a major portion of speech on attacking multinational corporations based in the United States. "These companies have become multinational not only in fact, but in thinking as well," he said. Church said the outlay of capital by U.S.

corporations in foreign investments cost the country about 150,000 jobs a year. "It is time for a president to realize that there Is nothing in the preamble of the Constitution to suggest that the government was established for the maximum profit The agreement was signed by Marsh and Robert Wick, a vice president of the Red Cross, at Thursday's closing session of the three-day state AFL-CIO convention. It contains the stipulation that the Ohio AFL-CIO will "periodically sponsor bloodmoblle visits to factories and Job sites where workers will be encouraged to voluntarily donate blood." More than 1500 delegates, representing more than 500,000 union members across the state, attended the convention, which was held at the Cincinnati Convention Center. The delegates, during the convention, heard from Democratic presidential hopefuls Morris Udall, Frank Church and Jimmy Carter, and adopted more than 80 resolutions. They included: That the Ohio AFL-CIO "support legislation that will grant to teachers the rights and powers to manage the classroom so that the business of education can be carried on with proper decorum, discipline, and respect for the rights of others." That the Ohio AFL-CIO support legislation that will mandate "in primary and secondary schools a class size of 25 pupils maximum to one classroom teacher."

Harris adds that a couple of "splintered" Klan groups will hold "small Memorial Day Rallies" in Ohio, One source tells me that one such rally will be held near Lebanon, Ohio. it it SICK PETS are a big business as exemplified by a new dimension in pet hospitals that will get underway in the area next month. Veterinarian Karl S.

Grady has a pet hospital that will begin offering 24-hour emergency service. The pet hospital will have a staff of 12 veterinarians. One doctor will be on duty at all times. Dr. Grady says dogs and cats struck by cars make up most of the emergency cases that occur after regular hours, but visits to the hospital by pet rabbits, squirrels and hamsters are increasing.

The veterinary hospital is the first one in this part of Ohio to offer 24-hour treatment. INCIDENTALLY, WE are approaching the time of year when pets kept inside a parked car while their owners shop or run errands can find the heat unbearable. Even when windows are left open the inside of a car can become a hot enclosure. IF YOU'RE traveling on the highway over the Memorial Day weekend, drive with care. The first long weekend of the spring is traditionally a dangerous one for motorists.

Early Concert By New Disease By ADRIENNE KELLER Enquirer Reporter A new generation of fans gathered early Thursday morning to wait for former Beatle Paul McCartney and his new group, Wings, perform-ing at an 8 p.m. concert at Riverfront Coliseum. The $8.50 tickets were marked "festival seating" general admission, so fans decided they had better get there early to fight for the best seats. YOUNG PEOPLE, mostly between 18 and 25, lounged on coliseum walkways, enjoying a lazy afternoon in the Sun as they waited for Paul McCartney and Wings. Gone was the "Beatlemanla" of years past when screaming fans fainted at the sight of the English rock'n'roll stars.

The crowd was calm and well behaved. Most were carrying on quiet conversations while some played card games and others went sight seeing on the riverfront, just behind the coliseum. Julie Potzik, 19, joined the crowd of about 300 at 4 p.m. to wait for her boyfriend to arrive with the tickets. "If I can't find him, I'm going to miss the concert," she said, peering worriedly over the promenade.

Miss Potzik says she was not a big Beatle fan. She prefers the sound of McCartney's new group which was formed in 1971, as many Hands, Eyes Follow Candidates Church on Fountain Square, top, and Carter at the AFL-CIO convention, above bring their Presidential races to Cincinnati.

WHILE DISPOSING of all pretrial matters Thursday, Judge Bettman refused a defense request for summaries of conversations between Goodin, Helnleln, Stanley and McNair. The defense had argued that under Ohio law defendants' statements to law enforcement officers must be given to the defense prior to trial. However, Cartolano argued that this rule applies only to statements given during an investigation. They were not "statements of a defendant to law enforcement officers but statements of one citizen to another," Judge Bettman commented. A prosecution request that the defense comply with Ohio discovery rules by supplying the proseuction with names of witnesses and information expected In the trial has not been met, Cartolano told the court.

The Ohio AFL-CIO and the American National Red Cross signed Thursday an agreement guaranteeing that union members and their immediate families will "have access to any blood or blood products" they might need. The blood will be provided whether or not the member is or has been a blood donor. Milan Marsh, president of the Ohio AFL-CIO, called the agreement a "first of a kind" memorandum and said, "We are proud once again to lead the nation in a program to help the union members of Ohio."

Mark Lohmeier, 24, Lincoln, Neb. said he "picked up" McCartney's 20-clty American tour In Cincinnati. "My brother and I will follow the tour all around the country selling our T-shirts," he explained. "Our next stop is Kansas City," explained Lohmeier, who quit the restaurant business in Lincoln to travel around selling T-shirts at rock concerts.
