Both have been carrying lout an extensive schedule of engagements during recent days, Walker was present for the opening of the dinner at about (8:30, 9:30 and and Eagleton arrived aftbegan speaking about 10 o'clock. Walker's address stressed the same points he has been discussing with audiences throughout his recent campaign swing.

He promised he will not raise nor impose any new income taxes if elected, and struck out at Gov. Richard Ogilvie's lack of credlibility and broken campaign promises of the years. Eagleton expressed his support of the ticket and said, "I do so without hesitation or reservation." He added his support is in no way "dimmed by recent He said "what transpired after Miami" (his forced withdrawal from the race after he revealed he had undergone treatment for emotional problems) was handled with "candor, compassion and understanding" by Senator McGovern. Eagleton said he is "just as much for the Democratic ticket tonight as I was that night in Miami when I accepted the nomination for vice president." Eagleton entertained. the crowd for several minutes with his description of the four years he served "with great anonlimity" as the lieutenant governor of Missouri.

He became serious as he compared President Richard Nixon to a baseball manager who, does not deserve to have his option picked up." Nixon made three promises in 1968, and none of those promises have been kept, Eagleton told the capacity audience in the. large Southern Illinois University Student Center's large double ballroom. The first was that Nixon said he had a secret plant to end the war, Eagleton said. The second was to control inflation and. invigorate the economy, and the third was to stem the increase in crime, especially in the cities, Eagleton said.

"The secret plan to end the war still is just that--a he said. which Eagleton described as "a by-product don Johnson's sad experience in the Vietnam war," has not been controlled. Nixon's control of inflation for two years and eight months was "an in-162, tentional strangulation of the economy," according to Eagle- ton. Inflation continues unabated, and Nixon has" succeeded in raising unemployment from three million to more than five million, he said. Nixon's promise to "stem the fires of crime," and make the streets of the cities, particularly in Washington, D.C.

safe to walk at night, also has failed, he said. No one would have the guts to walk the streets of Washington at night now, he said. During a news conference following the program, Eagleton reiterated to news representatives a statement he had made earlier in the day that he believed it has not been good for the country that former Democratic officials, such as Ramsey Clark, made trips to North Vietnam to confer with Hanoi officials. hopes the program will stimulate interest in the community in other drug abuse programs. The program urges people in the community to turn in drug peddlers.

Mr. Armour said the commission is basically only an zational group, existing to pass on ideas to other interested organizations. The commission is planning another program scheduled to begin Oct. 1, Mr. Armour said.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Once a 70-company conglomerate, the business empire of Floridian Glenn W. Turner today comprises only 10 firms, a company inventory shows.

The rest of Glenn W. Turner Enterprises, has been lost through merger, sale and dissolution, Turner spokesman Les O'Neill said in an interview Thursday. However, the public-relations aide denied the reduction indicated financial instability, corporate demise or pressures from mounting litigation involving the parent company's big moneymakers Koscot Interplanetary, a cosmetics firm, and Dare To Be Great, a motivational program. "Some of the firms were only on paper and never got off the ground," he said. "Why contin-ue to pay corporate.

tax? So they were dissolved." Recently, the 37-year-old cosmetics king has been arrested and charged by. Pinellas County with 86 counts of securities violations; his $1.7 million plant in. Orlando has, been raided and company records seized 'by police; and nationwide sales of part of his motivational series has been banned after Sept. 8. In addition, civil actions are pending in numerous states most of them challenging pyramid-style marketing operations.

At a news conference Thursday in his headquarters here, Turner said legal fees are averaging him $100,000 a week. But O'Neill said "these difficulties" aren't what promoted the corporate paring. "Turner has always said he'd eventually turn over the firms to -his people," O'Neill said. "That's what he's doing." Turner's news conference called to explain his position came on the heels of a federal ruling issued in Portland, halting sales of Levels 3 and 4 in Dare To Be Great on request of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which claims the course is a security. Turner lawyers deny that.

Turner told a gathering of salesman that he intended to split the legally embattled motivational outfit into 500 companies and "give them away," if necessary, keeping only one.

The commission also is drafting a letter to the Special Office for Drug Abuse Prevention in Washington, he said. The group may be able to provide federal money for local drug abuse programs.

Mr. Armour said it is very hard to assess the drug abuse problem in the area at this time. He said that when school begins in the area the commission will be- better able to evaluate the problem.

The horns are lost, like a man growing bald, when the deer get to be 12 to 15 years old. Second fective date of the raise; and had no problem, Carroll had noted. Hanco*ck said today that the state court of appeals "rubber dollar" decision held his cost: of living adjustment was not a pay raise and thus did not violate the ban on raising an official's pay while he was in office.

Hanco*ck suggested further that state and federal taxing authorities might require Carroll to pay tax on the amount of pay he was legally entitled to, whether he accepted it or not. That was a matter -that would have to be taken up with the Internal, Revenue Service, he added. When Carroll requested Hanco*ck's opinion earlier this week, he said he had ordered his pay raise under the 1972 law stopped until he could be assured of its legality. He said then he was prepared to refund that part of the raise he had already been paid. Hanco*ck previously had given similar advice to State Auditor Mary -Louise Foust, who had asked him about her pay raise earlier last month.

noted that Miss Foust received and deposited a check for $1,519.53 representing back payment of her pay raise from Jan. 3 through June 15 and received the higher pay monthly thereafter. "It. would appear to me that if you had any doubts about the increase in your salary." told Miss Foust, "then it would have been more consistent not to request the increased amount retroactively nor to request the increased amount in your regular payroll, rather than taking the money and then being critical about it being allowed to you." 3 Bids (Continued From Page One) examined by William Howerton, corporation counsel.

He said he later realized that the hands actually were ill-fitting surgical Richardson said when he finished the job, "they were happy with the results seems like they said somebody was going to be happy to see them." Barker paid him $93.30 for the prints, including a $10 tip, Richardson said.

After giving the FBI Miami office his statement, Richardson said "they told me I might be called to testify before a grand jury in Washington." But he said he has not been yet. A spokesman for the FBI in Miami refused comment on the case Thursday night. But Gerstein, in confirming published reports about a possible second break-in, said, "We are willing to share our information with other federal agency and have in fact cooperated with the FBI."
