Douglas Man Sentenced in Car Theft Says Judge 'Makes Mistake' NEW ORLEANS Three conclusions emerge from traveling and talking in the South with men long known by this columnist to be rarely confused about the location of true political power and the currents of public feeling. The first is that the semi-campaign of Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson of Washington for the 1972 Democratic Presidential nomination is moving faster than that of any other so-called dark horse in memory.

The second is that President Nixon is still very strong and will be extremely difficult to beat anywhere below the Mason-Dixon Line in any eventuality save one. His only latent weakness lies in some anxiety about his intentions in Indochina. While people down here are undoubtedly also frustrated by the war, and while they may make up part of the national majority found by the Gallup poll to be skeptical that the Administration is telling the public everything it should about that war, this is only a small part of the real story. The real story is that whereas in the East the concurrent popular majority seems to complain that the President is not withdrawing from Vietnam as rapidly as he should, the core of important concern in Dixie is that he may allow himself to be driven out too soon. THE PHRASE "important concern" is vital to any true understanding of the situation.

For while rank-and-file Southerners are scarcely less impatient with the war than Americans elsewhere, there is nevertheless a big difference. This is a section long conditioned to the concept of follow-the-leader especially the Southern leader. And. by and large, the Southern leaders remain determined that no Vietnam settlement should permit a Communist takeover of South Vietnam, however concealed, or the abandonment in South Vietnam of a single American prisoner of war. Again, even the charge that the President is not putting all his cards on the table does not bother Dixie nearly so much as seems to bother other regions.

The feeling that he has a right, even a duty, to withhold certain military information wherever there is the slightest likelihood that disclosure might aid the enemy is perfectly natural and inherent here. All this explains why Senator Jackson is assuredly riding in the South a genuine boomlet that might easily become a big boom, indeed. They don't know much about his domestic record which is in fact quite liberal and very much so by Southern standards. What they do know is that he is about the only non-Southern member of the United States Senate who consistently refuses to buy any kind of soft line in Indochina or, for that matter, in rearmament or, again, in our dealings with the Soviet Union. THE THIRD HUNCH from this correspondent's sortie into the South which has rejected the cliche that one gets the real poop only from all-wise taxi drivers and should shun the "pols" as invariable foundations of clever misinformation has to do with the race issue and George Wallace of Alabama.

Ugly racial friction is actually less prevalent in the South than in the North. And if Wallace is to become the figure of great menace by way of the third-party Presidential candidacy that many people have supposed, there must certainly be a devil of a lot of change in the real situation down here. In a word, Southern anger at the Nixon Administration over school integration has been greatly exaggerated, mostly because he has never singled out the South as the sole villain of the piece in two centuries of racial injustice. my temper and I could bite off my tongue when I think of what I said. And all because I was tense." Prolonged activity of any sort tends to produce tension.

A lot of fine things come out of tension and a lot of bad things, also. Tension is usually a sign that we are working too hard or that our thoughts have become ingrown. Family Praypr Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (II Peter 3 18) PRAYER: Blessed Lord, put within my heart the desire to know Thee better. Fill my heart with a hunger for Thy Word that I may grow strong in Thee.

This I ask in the spirit of Jesus, who taught His disciples to pray, "Our Father who art in heaven Amen." THt UPPER ROOM TENSION "Tension" has become a keyword in modern life. We get in a state of tension which interferes with our daily work. We fly off the handle and give a loved one or a friend a piece of our mind and all, we maintain, because we were in a high state of tension. We speak often of the state of tension existing today in national and international affairs. "I was tense and didn't do my best." "Every time I have to talk to that guy I find myself getting tense from head to foot." "We would sell a lot more goods if we could just keep the argument down as to what sales procedure should be." "Neither of them wanted divorce, but one thing led to another until there was an air of tension in the home you could feel a mile away." "Now be calm, be calm.

You're getting tense and worked up and pretty soon you won't be able to see anything as it really is." "Oh, I know I lost "I think you are making a serious mistake, your honor," said Daniel John Lockwood, 22, of Stowe, who was given a sentence of not more than five years at State Prison at Windsor for grand larceny, when he appeared before Judge Edward J. Costello in Vermont District Court Friday. Lockwood, a bartender, had been incarcerated since September at the Burlington Community Correctional Center and at the St. Albans facility for Youthful Offenders where he was given extensive evaluation. He was unable to provide $20,000 bail.

Judge Costello said he was imposing no minimum sentence, making it possible for prison authorities to release Lockwood when they see fit. The judge said he was recommending that after he has been classified at the Burlington against Lockwood who was picked up by police in New Jersey. The prosecutor said the respondent's problem appeared to be that he was unable to accept responsibility for himself and his actions and recommended he be sent to a suitable institution for treat-'ment. Defense counsel appointed by Judge Costello said he believed Lockwood now understands his problem after seven months incarceration and wants help in becoming rehabilitated. Lockwood expressed a desire to go to Lakewood Correctional Center, but was advised young people were sent there for minimal violations.

Addressing the judge, Lockwood said he had been using drugs but was no longer doing so. Windsor institution, Lockwood be transferred to the St. Albans center for treatment. The bartender was convicted of stealing from European Auto Sales and Service of South Burlington a car valued at $29,000 last Aug. 28.

Studying a presentence investigation report prepared by the probation department the judge said it was the second time the young man had taken an automobile from the same garage and he had intended to sell the vehicle. He also noted Lockwood had spent some $4,000 with stolen credit cards throughout the country. Deputy State's Atty. Robert J. Kurrle said New Jersey authorities have issued two bench warrants for Lockwood's arrest for offenses in that state.

Dear Ann Landers: My father-in-law died recently. My husband was the only one in the family who was left out of the will.

Last night his mother told me the reason. I am still in a state of shock. She said, "Dad never believed you two were legally married. He also was sure you were part Negro and trying to pass." My husband is so mad he can't see straight. I'm just numb.

There is no truth to either of these claims. We can't understand where Dad got such ideas. We were married in 1952 in the Panama Canal Zone by a minister. None of the family could come to the wedding because they were all in California and it was too expensive a trip. But we do have a marriage license and I think we should show it to my mother-in-law.

My husband says he is not going to show them anything they can think what they want. I'd like your advice, Ann. Stunned Louise Dear Louise: Don't allow yourselves to be put in the position of defendants. You do not owe them proof, and you demean yourselves when you offer it. Either they accept you or they don't.

If they don't, skip it and skip them, too. Dear Ann Landers: The subject of obesity appears in your column almost as often as sex. While weight control is very important for esthetic and general health reasons. I wonder how many people realize that being fat can spell the difference between life and death. As a radiologist I can tell you that serious diagnostic errors can be made when the symptoms are obscured by mounds of fat.

Excessive needle-probing is required. This can be uncomfortable and unsatisfactory. Furthermore, x-ray machines have trouble penetrating the depths, requiring increased amounts of radiation exposure. Even then, fine-detailed radiographs so vital to accurate diagnosis cannot be made. Finally, when the diagnosis is made, a surgeon is reluctant to operate on an obese patient unless there is an emergency.

In addition to the increased manual labor, the postoperative course is often stormy and uncertain. I implore all those with any degree of overweight to shed their pounds and give themselves and their physicians a better-than-even chance. Everyone gets sick some day. Oklahoma Radiologist DearO.R.: Thanks for those strong words. If your admonition isn't enough to make the grossly overweight readers pass up the gravy and chocolate fudge cake tonight, they should admit they are compulsive eaters and get outside help.

Dear Ann Landers: I read in today's newspaper of a nine-year-old boy who burned to death in a gasoline explosion while helping his father clean motorcycle parts. Please use your column to inform all the shade-tree mechanics that gasoline, paint thinner, acetone and similar solvents are highly volatile and should never be used indoors. Fumes can ignite from a hot water tank, a gas heater or a spark from an electric motor. Also, please tell your readers that diesel and kerosene fuel are not only nonexplosive, but much better grease solvents than gasoline. If this letter will save just one child's life, it's worth the column space to print it.
