THE COURIER-JOURNAL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1985 3 of former senator dies Continued from Page 1 1943, when she worked as a volunteer in a federal agency he headed. The Coopers sponsored the renovation of Fountain Square in front of the Pulaski County Courthouse in Somerset in 1968. When entertaining Kentuckians in Washington, she confided in a 1968 interview, she always tried to have a few prominent Washington figures, such as Ethel Kennedy and Alice Roosevelt Longworth, to add a dash of glamor to the occasions. The New York Times, in a 1969 story about the stressful days leading to the inauguration of Richard Nixon as president, reported that Mrs. Cooper, "the elegant wife of the U.S.
senator from Kentucky, is in the thick of things this inaugural weekend." Eisenhower's inaugural almost did me story quoted Mrs. Cooper as saying. believes me but I found a footprint on the back of my ball dress up between the Two years earlier, the Washington Post described Mrs. Cooper as someone "who stages Washington's most entertaining salon every Monday afternoon with all the flair of a Broadway theatrical producer." The story reported that during the winter months she had created "a very dramatic bit of make-believe for. her guests" by enclosing a big open second-story porch that overlooked her garden with inexpensive sheets of plastic.
Draperies canopies were added to change the atmosphere of the enclosed porch, and guests enjoyed a view of snowflakes falling through the lighted tree tops. At one party that winter, the Coopers entertained the newly elected Republican members of the Senate, plus two noted columnists, Art Buchwald and the late Walter Lippmann, the Post reported. The Coopers were also close to President John F. Kennedy. After Chamber gets economic role Continued from Page B1 Democrat, after McConnell was elected to the U.S.
Senate. Clark said he was not pushed out of his job. "I recommended that we do away with this office and my job," he said. "This community one voice for economic development." Pointing to the economic development cabinet's small budget, he said, "We cannot have an effective mar- JAMES 0. ROBERSON Chamber chief takes big role in development keting effort with that." Clark, who founded the Druther's restaurant chain, said he has no definite plans.
Under Clark, the county devoted much time and effort to promoting the Riverport industrial park. Clark and the McConnell administration were instrumental in encouraging Belknap Inc. to relocate there. But Robert Timmerman, acting president of the Riverport, said he was not concerned by the chamber's "broader" interest in development in both the city and county. "I have no reason to feel that Riverport will suffer by the change," he said, noting that the chamber has referred prospective developers to the Riverport in the past.
Geary said the additional $75,000 appropriation for the chamber's marketing activities would come from eliminating Clark's salary and merging the economic velopment cabinet into Ehrler's office. For example, James Sistrunk, who earns $44,000 as deputy secretary of economic development, is being replaced by Bruce Ferriell, now an economic-de-velopment specialist, who will receive only $35,000, Geary said. Before president of the chamber in 1983, Roberson was secretary of the Maryland Department of Economic and Community Development. He is chairman of the American Economic Development Council.

Kennedy's inauguration, he and his wife, Jacqueline, dined at the Coopers' home one of the first social invitations they accepted after entering the White House. The Washington Star subsequently described Mrs. Cooper, although a Republican, as one the leading hostesses of Kennedy's Democratic New Frontier. The Star described her in these terms: "Chic she has often been on best-dressed lists witty, warm Lorraine Cooper enjoys entertaining the senator's constituents as as members of their private circle of urbane, sophisticated, interested-inworld-affairs set in the capital. "Guests are in for no ordinary entertaining even in a city where entertainment is constant." The story continued: "Whether for luncheon or dinner, Coopers always have menus on the table in the French manner, in Mrs.
Cooper's handwriting, And always, if there are Kentuckians, the menus bear Kentucky For instance, at a small luncheon, there was the following menu: Eggs Ghent (in honor of a Carroll County guest). Chicken Livers Somerset (in honor of a visitor from the senator's hometown). Rice. Salad. Orange Souffle Pulaski." In a 1966 interview, Mrs.
Cooper related her first meeting with Cooper at a Washington party. The year was 1948 and Mrs. Cooper confided that she wanted to make an impression. "I tried to think of what I knew about Kentucky. I knew the 'Little Colonel' books, which was no news.
I knew about horses, but didn't know if that would interest him. Then I remembered tobacco. 'My family are farmers, but we are cotton farmers. So when the time came to talk to him, I said, 'Senator Lorraipe Cooper Leading figure in capital society Cooper, how is the burley cotton crop doing in Kentucky this 'He gave me a queer look and moved away, and I didn't see him again for two years. 'Moral: Don't try to make an impression with something you are shaky Mrs.
Cooper was born Lorraine Arnold Rowan, a member of a wealthy Pasadena, family. When her father died, her mother married Prince Domenico Orsini, an Italian nobleman and an official at the Vatican. Mrs. Cooper was married twice before her marriage to Cooper. Her first husband was Robert McAdoo, son of William Gibbs McAdoo, President Woodrow Wilson's secretary of the Treasury and later a U.S.
senator from California. Her second husband was Thomas Shevlin member of a wealthy Minneapolis family. Developer sought for city plot Continued from Page 1 transaction should the board fail to receive the information requested." Tom Denning, 8th Ward alterman and chairman of the board's Contracts, Bonds and Revisions Committee, said yesterday that he was "slightly perturbed" that the administration had developed plans without informing the aldermen. "I don't know what's going on," Denning said. "We asked to be informed, and we haven't been.
Somebody's dropped the ball." Denning said he has asked several times in recent months about the property but his questions have gone unanswered. "Certain people in the administration figure that they don't have to bring anything to the board unless it's fait accompli, and then we'll pass it," he said. Board President Bill Wilson described the Sloane administration's handling of the matter as "typical." have not heard anything" about the plans, Wilson said yesterday. "That's not very pleasing. I will be making some inquiries" of Sloane.
The mayor will not take any action unilaterally, said Lynch, noting that Colwell is still under contract and will still be used by the city to give advice on financing the project. But under the administration's plans, the aldermen will be consulted only when Sloane brings a mendation to them for final approval. "The mayor may include a board member on his selection committee," Lynch added. Proposals are due April 15. The state Commerce Cabinet, which has been aggressively seeking just the sort of corporate citizens Sloane is hoping to land, was also unaware of the city's initiatives on the downtown property.
"We're working with them now on several projects and that's usually the standard approach," said Craig Turner, Cabinet's director division of thestrammerse. opment and marketing. But the state takes a narrower, more targeted approach when seeking industrial and corporate prospects than the city needs, Lynch said. And it makes pitches for Louisville along with other Kentucky sites, he said. The city's success with the Phoenix Place and other development projects persuaded it to design its own proposal specifications, Lynch said.
"This is totally a city effort." Federal drug agents uncover phony USC degree scheme By KAY STEWART Courier -Journal Staff Writer Federal drug agents in Louisville have uncovered allegations that phony degrees from the University of Southern California, backed up by complete transcripts illegally placed in the university's computer system, have been sold for up to $25,000. The information has been passed to prosecutors in Los Angeles, according to Kelly Snyder, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Louisville. Allegations of phony degrees were uncovered during a drug investigation last fall that resulted in the arrests in Louisville of three Los Angeles residents, Snyder said. He said Mehrdad Amini-Arya, 27, Navid Ahmadi, 28, and Mahmoud Malekafcali, 26, were arrested last September and are scheduled to be arraigned Saturday in U.S. District Court in Louisville on cocaine distribution and conspiracy charges.
The DEA official would not say how the three suspects were connected to information of the phony degrees, but did say than none of the degrees had surfaced in the Louisville area. The DEA is unaware of how many phony degrees may have been sold, Snyder said, but he said at least five people may be involved. Doctoral degrees allegedly sold for as much as $25,000, Snyder said, and fabricated undergraduate degrees were also apparently sold. The DEA in Louisville gave its information to the DEA in Los Angeles, which passed the word to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, Snyder said. He said the Louisville DEA office is no longer volved in the case.
USC officials have begun checking transcripts in search of the bogus degrees, but none have turned up, according to the Los Angeles Times. The allegations, if substantiated, would represent the second instance of illegal tampering with USC's computer to surface since October, the Times said. Thirty USC students, the paper said, are currently under investigation for allegedly paying to have unauthorized grade changes made on their transcripts.

School system has failed blacks, new head of NAACP panel says By BETTY WINSTON BAYE Courier-Journal Staff Writer Shortly after being appointed chairman of the Louisville NAACP's education committee last night, Joseph H. McMillian took aim at the Jefferson County public schools. The system has not only failed to attend adequately to the educational needs of students, but it has failed the black community, McMillian said.
He decried "the paucity" of black representation on the school board, one of seven members, even though blacks constitute nearly 30 percent of the district's enrollment. "The question is, 'Are we getting our fair said McMillian, who is also vice president of minority affairs at the University of Louisville. "You can attend to all the desegregation plans you want to, but the fact remains that black students are not achieving." The committee monitors local educational developments. In recent weeks, leaders of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been extremely critical of the 1971 Staff Photo school board, saying that some of its actions smack of racism. Earlier this month, the NAACP and other civil rights activists were outraged that the board did not elect its only black member, the Rev.
C. Mackey Daniels, as chairman. Daniels is the board's vice-chairman, and in years the person in that position almost routinely moved up to chairman. Last week, the Rev. H.
Donald co*ckerham, chairman of the NAACP's Ministerial Coalition said the board's current desegregation efforts are "ridiculous" given the fact that it scheduled to vote on the matter the same day it is expected to get the estimates on the numbers of blacks and whites in the schools. Geoffrey Ellis, the local NAACP's new president, also appointed Woodford Porter, a proprietor of Porter's Funeral Home, as chairman of the group's political action committee last night. He cited Porter's "historical" political involvement through his family, as well as his own "fairness" and "independent nature." Fake psychologist gets probation Continued from Page 1 dants who are awaiting mental evaluations should be housed. Under cross examination by a state attorney who had done a routine background check of Bresler Bresler could not explain why the universities listed on his resume had no records of his degrees. A subsequent investigation by The Courier a year ago also found that: Seven states including Kentucky.
where Bresler said he was licensed as a psychologist either had no record of his being licensed or have revoked his license. Bresler falsely stated his qualifications to obtain a job as chief psychologist at the Upper Kentucky River Region Mental Health Comprehensive Care Center in Hazard, and later alleged on this resume that he also had been the center's clinical director. He worked at the center from September 1975 to February 1977. While at the Hazard center, he taught introductory psychology courses at Hazard Community College for three semesters. Bresler, who lives in Daly City, declined yesterday to discuss his background or his resume.
In a brief interview before the court hearing, Bresler who walks with a cane and spoke in a barely audible voice said he might have tried to defend his background "if I were younger and in better health." When asked to explain the discrepancies, Bresler appeared to struggle to find the exact word, then said the document was "fantasy." RIME RIB Daily 5 PM' Flaherty's Ill 912 Dupont Circle 893-2563 KY.

SINCE 1947 Ellis also said he appointed McMillian and Porter to two of the group's most important committees because there is the need for the kind of leadership they can give at this particular time. "The times have dictated the intensity of my direction," said Ellis, who was elected president Jan. 1. "Both of them are strong and gressive, and I think the NAACP is that kind of organization.

UK professor to aid Poles studying U.S. rural life LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) A University of Kentucky professor is helping organize an institute for studies in American agriculture and rural life at Warsaw Agricultural University in Poland. John Redman, a Fulbright scholar to Poland in 1965, began exploring the possibility of the Poles establishing an institute after a 1983 trip.
"I noticed on my last visit that they were eager to hear all they could about America and our way of life," he said. "I claim responsibility, let's put it that way," he said. Chris Rivers, Bresler's attorney, initially told Corey that Bresler would enter what is called an Alford plea which allows a defendant to maintain his innocence while admitting that the evidence against him is so convincing that he would likely be convicted by a jury. But Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Thom Marshall, who had agreed to recommend that Bresler be released on probation in return for a guilty plea, objected. Marshall said "the essence of the charge" was that Bressler's testimo- Research center selects Franklin as president ny to the court was not truthful.
