Outlining the Scott incident, the panel said that "even after the initial Watergate publicity erupted in 1973 the senator again requested funds from Wild. Wild apparently told the senator that he could not provide the money any longer, but the senator seemed unable to understand why." The report was filed with federal court and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The panel, headed by New York lawyer John Jay McGloy, has been probing Gulf's activities since last March.

The report said the Scott story was related by Pittsburgh lawyer Thomas D. Wright, based on his interviews with Wild in 1973 and 1974, when Wright was investigating Wild's activities for Gulf's directors. Wild himself won't now confirm or deny the Scott story. galaxy of U.S. political figures, $627,000 to Italian political parties, and a $108,000 helicopter to the late Bolivian dictator Rene Barientos, who was later killed when the aircraft crashed.

The panel also said it found some $2 million in previusly undisclosed illegal political payments in Canada, Italy and Sweden. Committee officials said "it has not been possible and perhaps never will be to trace all the funds" paid to U.S. politicians in violation of the law. The committee's report was critical of top Gulf management and said Gulf chairman Bob R. Dorsey "should have known that Wild was involved in making political contributions from unknown sources.

If Dorsey did not know of the nature and extent of Wild's unlawful activities, he perhaps chose to shut his eyes to what was going on."

Former first lady is ill GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) -Mamie Eisenhower, 79, widow of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, became ill today at her farm home and was taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington. A friend quoted her doctor as saying, "It is serious." The nature of her illness was not immediately disclosed. Mrs.

Eisenhower's son, John, contacted at his Phoenixville, home, said he preferred that any announcement on her condition be made by her doctor. The doctor could not be reached for comment. Mrs. Eisenhower was hospitalized last March at the Army Medical Center at Ft. Gordon, for internal bleeding.

Doctors reported the bleeding was caused by divert iculosis of the intestine. She also has a rheumatic heart and arthritis. Her husband died six years ago. Mrs. Eisenhower's grandson, David, and his wife, the former Julie Nixon, are in China on a vacation.

The Eisenhower home is near the famed Gettysburg battlefield. Prison guard injured during inmate escape MADISON, Wis. (AP) A Wanpun State Prison guard was at University Hospitals today for treatment of an eye injury he suffered when a prisoner escaped Tuesday. Harvey Winans, associate warden for security at the prison, said that prison officer Gerald Reusch was struck in the head during the incident. Winans said Robert Lee Thompson, 24, of Milwaukee, who was serving prison sentences for armed robberies, allegedly struck Reusch and ran from University Hospitals, where he had been taken after complaining of back pain.

Winans said Thompson was apprehended about an hour later by University of Wisconsin campus police. Thompson had been at Wau-pun since June. He was serving a 20 year sentence for armed robbery and a concurrent 11 year term for another armed robbery conviction. India gives up hope of finding any survivors NEW DELHI, India (AP) -The Indian government has given up all hope of finding survivors in airpockets in the flooded Chasnala coal mine where 372 miners are trapped. "There are no such pockets," said Srinivasa Chari, the national coal secretary, as he returned Tuesday from the site in India's coal-rich northeast.

"There cannot be any hope of survival." The flooding occurred Saturday when an abandoned mine collapsed, sending millions of gallons of water rushing through the deep shafts of the Chasnala mine. Officials had hoped for a while that a few men might be clinging to life in the airpockets in the mine's shafts. Chari said an international pumping operation from the United States, Poland, the Soviet Union and France "is for taking out dead bodies." He blamed "a crack or a fissure" for the collapse of the abandoned mine, an open cast pit situated above the new tunnels. He refused to speculate on cause of the crack. "An investigation will give us the answer," he said.

"But I wouldn't hazard a guess about whether the crack was caused by an earthquake or what." He disputed initial reports that an explosion had caused the cave-in and flatly ruled out thepossibility of sabotage. The United States prepared to fly two high-capacity pumps and four technicians to India but Chari said it would still take about 15 days to pump an estimated 110 million gallons of water from the shafts.

WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott allegedly made repeated requests for Gulf Oil money even while the Watergate scandals were boiling in 1973, according to a Gulf investigative panel. The panel quoted statements attributed to Gulf's political bagman, Claude C. Wild who reportedly claimed to have made secret cash payments to Scott of $10,000 a year for about 13 years. The special review committee, set up by Gulf to investigate its own illegal political donations in the United States, South Korea and elsewhere, said in a report released Tuesday that in 13 years Gulf disbursed some $12.3 million at home and abroad for political donations and related matters, mostly illegal. These included $4 million in illegal political gifts to the rul ing party in South Korea, $4 million disbursed by Wild to a Order action on airport security (From Page 1) The FAA already has taken steps to tighten security at 500 airports across the country, Nessen said.

Ford had earlier expressed his shock at the bombing and said, "We must do something in the area of terrorist control." Jackie pauses for photographs on ski vacation SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis paused briefly for photographs in a swirling snowstorm on her second day of a Utah ski vacation but walked off before reporters could ask her about reports of romances involving the late President John F. Kennedy. After brief questions, Sen.

Edward Kennedy returned to a ski lift to make another run with his family, and Mrs. Onassis stepped into a waiting car in the heavy, blowing snowfall and 16-degree cold. The widow of the late president and shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis said the snow was "beautiful," but she left before other questions could be asked. Published reports have said two women, known as "Fiddle" and "Faddle" to the Secret Service; had affairs with President Kennedy.

La Follette held Tuesday. His opinion was issued for Department of Local Affairs and Development Secretary William Bechtel. La Follette said that unless the condominium project is actually subdivided, it is not subject to the land platting and subdivision approval requirements of statues because the typical condominium project does not fall under the definition of a subdivision. He said local governments may vary the terms of statutes regulating land use by ordinance or by variance. La Follette said condominiums "may present the same problems affecting public health, safety and general welfare" that the subdivision laws are designed to combat.

"Nevertheless, this is a situation requiring legislative remedy," La Follette said. MADISON, Wis. (AP) -State Rep. Lawrence Day, D-Eland, has been named chairman of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee. Assembly Speaker Norman Anderson named him to succeed Rep.

PETEKSOiJ Funeral Home Ph. 4.r-ft9(MI excellent By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cross-country skiers and snowmobilers can find plenty of snow in Wisconsin to provide themselves with a happy New Year, but they have to venture pretty far north to find it. The Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that snow conditions are excellent in the Brule area, with 21 inches on the ground. Conditions were also described as excellent in Price, Iron, Ashland and Taylor counties. Around Antigo and Woodruff, snow conditions are adequate for cross-country skiing, while as far north as Wisconsin Rapids and Black River Falls, snowmobilers will be out of luck until winter cooperates.

APwirephoto SEN. HUGH SCOTT He recently invoked the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and refused an SEC request to testify about it. Scott was unavailable for comment. He has not denied receiving Gulf payments, but has said he got only political donations and denies that he knew any such donations came from corporate funds. Wright quoted Wild as saying the money was for Scott's personal use.

Shortly after initial accounts of the Gulf payments surfaced in SEC court filings, Scott announced he would not seek reelection. Porter said "Counterspy" did not cause Welch's death because its publication of the fact that he had been the CIA station chief in Peru had been published before. He also said the quarterly did not disclose that Welch was station chief in Athens where he was killed. Welch, 46, was shot to death on Dec. 23 by three masked gunmen near his home outside Athens.

Porter said the CIA names to be picked up from the French, Swedish and Angolan newspapers will be checked by "Counterspy" before they are published in February. He said the 100 names tliat were published in the magazine last January were found the same way. He said checking the names amounts to finding likely CIA agents in U.S. embassy employe lists and cross-checking them against biographies to find intelligence specialities or past intelligence employment. "Counterspy" is published by the Fifth Estate Security Edu-' cation, a nonprofit corporation.

Porter said the corporation is financed both by the magazine and by contributions from about 50 persons, including author Norman Mailer. HELKE 'EAST CHAPEL Midtown 413 Jefferson St. HELKE WEST CHAPEL N. 3rd Ave. at Spruce Street HITZ, Clinton Services Friday, 2:00 P.M.
