said the house was surrounded by far more arm-

A spokesman at the president s office in Kam-

happened to Amin or that he was missing He
said Radio Uganda should be monitored for ac-

At the Ministry of Information, a spokesman
also said that as far as he knew the story of j
Amin's disappearance was not true.

The Secretary of the Navy has
approved a Marine ROTC unit
for Robert E. Lee next fall but
school administrators say that's
too soon.
Supt. Johnny Clark will write
authorities asking that the
program be allowed to start in
the fall of 1978-79, according to
Deputy Supt. Curtis Herring.
But, Sgt.-Maj. Peter F. Long,
who has been in Baytown 10
days to set up the program at the
request of former Deputy Supt.
Bob Holman, said seeking the
delay could cause the approval
to be withdrawn.
If that happens, he told The
Sun Friday after learning the
district does not plan to imple-
ment the program in August,
Baytown probably would not be
approved again for many years.

PRUDHOE BAY, Alaska (AP) - Clanging and banging its way
across the tundra, a mechanical "pig" pushed by hot crude oil
will signal whether the trans-Alaska pipeline works and whether
it is worth all the effort that went into its construction
The "Oil in,” scheduled for 1 p.m. today, is the beginning of
the end of nine years of planning and building in the biggest and
most expensive private construction project ever.
It means 1.2 million barrels of oil daily soon will be on its way
to market.
“We've done a damn good job," declared William Darch, presi-
dent of Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. "Our destiny is in our hands.
The problems are now ours to solve, which is a very good position
to be in after the last couple years."
It cost $7.7 billion to build the 800-mile-long tube from Prudhoe
Bay here on the Arctic Ocean, 250 miles north of the Arctic
Circle, to the port of Valdez on Prince William Sound. Develop-
ment of the wells at this end of the pipe cost an additional $4
billion.
No speeches, ceremonies or special events heralded the star-
tup. Oilmen said the first opening of the valves — directed by a
computer in Valdez -- would be about as exciting as turning on a
garden hose.
"We deliberately wanted to be low key about this," said a
spokesman for Alyeska, the consortium of eight oil companies
formed to build the line._

Instead, it has been traditional
to have a program in which
students are interested and then
provide a space.
About two years ago, a survey
of junior school students showed
about 500 youngsters were in-
terested in a high school ROTC
unit, authorities said.
It was expected that about 200
actually would be interested
enough to enroll.
High school students select
courses for the next year each
February and, because it was un-
known whether the ROTC
program would be approved for
next' fall, that course was not
listed for enrollment last Febru-

That was an interesting
piece in the Sun the other day
— the one about the House of
Davids from Benton Harbor,
Mich.
At least it was interesting to
three oldtimers - Jack Ad-
cox, Buck Bonds and the PSJ.
You have to be an oldtimer
to remember the baseball
games between House of Da-
vid and Baytown Oilers.
There was such heated com-
petition Oiler pitchers Red
Biggers and Pee Wee Bass let
their whiskers grow and joined
the team.

of the David “Pepper Play-

Herring said administrators
“definitely” are interested
ffering a ROTC program in
high schools here, but the dis-
trict cannot assure that a suf-
ficient number of students
would be enrolled by the end of
September or that adequate
facilities could be ready by then.
Sgt.-Maj. Long had already
received bids for some materials
and was arranging for uniforms,
textbooks and storage materials.
Interviews had already been
set up with possible instructors,
he said.
