WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are among the most politically conservative of people, the Irish among the happiest and the Japan- ese and West Germans among the least likely to go to war for their countries, | say Gallup surveys taken in’ 15 ceuntries to measure changing world values. The surveys also found that Americans take more pride in their work than people in other countries, are more willing to fight for their country and are more likely to believe in God. Preliminary results of the study of attitudes and values in 15 countries were pre- sented Tuesday by the Cen- tre for Applied Research in the Opostolate, an inter- national Roman Catholic re- search organization which sponsored the American por- tion of the undertaking. In each country surveyed, at least 1,200 adults were selected at random and inter- viewed by Gallup workers for an hour or more. : Some results are surpris- ing.

Woods, a suburban ‘Shaker Heights, was shot in the neck during a burglary at his father’s home here. Dr. Melvin Shafron said Woods, 27, was in “stable but serious” condition “He does have some movement in his right shoulder muscles today which was not there yesterday,” Shafron said. Asked if Woods could play football again, Shafron said: “It is very doubtful.” Hospital spokesman Lois Cooper said the bullet travelled through Woods: spinal cord and was lodged in his body. She said no surgery to remove the bullet was planned. Police said Wood's assailant escaped with three gold rings,-a gold and diamond watch, a gold necklace and a pendant. The stolen goods were valued at $3,150. ‘Wou nd i may cost career Woods was the Colts’ starting linebacker for the first seven games last year. He was then placed on the team’s injured reserve list with a knee injury and missed the rest of the season. Colts general manager Er nie Accorsi said Friday night that the club was “very concerned” about Woods’ condition. “He missed a couple games last year because of minor injuries, but he’s been a regular for us,” Accorsi said. “Of course, now we're concerned for the person, not the football player.” Woods was Bal d: d sel 1978 NFL college draft, but because of a back injury. ion in the lie missed his rookie season He played in all 16 of the team's games as a reserve linebacker in 1979, and he started in 12 of his 13 appearances - in 1980, missing three other gat mes because of a knee injury. Unser to stay in pits INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Defending champion Bobby Unser is staying in the pits this year in the Indianapolis 600, thanks to young Josele Garza. “Josele has a tremendous amount of talent, but he's very young and lacking in expereince,” said Unser, who said Friday that his com-- mitment as team manager for the 23-year-old Garza will keep him from defending his Indy title this year. That makes Unser, 48, the first driver in 25 years not to defend his championship in the Indy 500, Unser, whose 19 previous Indy starts ranks second only - to 24 by A.J. Foty, ended speculation that he might step into another team's backup car to make a qualifi- cation attempt this weekend for the May 30 race. He said Garza offered to release him from his commitment, but that he felt obligated to finish what he started with the driver, who was Indy rookie of the year last year. Unser, a three-time Indy winner, might have accepted an offer to drive had Garza qualified last week,"but the young Mexican crashed his primary car in practic, then had a lot of trouble building speed in his backup machine. Garza’s best effort in prac- . tice this week came Friday, . when he recorded a lap at, 194.510 miles an hour and gave a lot of credit to Unser. Unser said his decision to- pass up Indy this year was _ “thé toughest thing I've don in 33 years of racing.” Unser would become the 17th defending Indy cham- pion to pass up the race the following year. The last to do it was Sam Hanks, who an- nounced his retirement after the 1957 race. SPOTS FILLED Led by pole-position win- ner Rick Mears’ track record four-lap average of 207.004 mph, 22 of the 33 starting spots were filled during the first two days of time trials last weekend. Except for Unser, all of the former win- ners who.are still active in © racing have already qualified. Besides Mears, the 1979 winner, four-time champion A.J. Foty qualified last week on the outside of the front row; Mario Andretti and Gordon Johncock earned sec- ond-row starts, three-time winner Johnny Rutherford qualified in the fourth row and three-time champ AJ Un- ser, Bobby's younger broth- er, qualified in the sixth row. The first driver scheduled to make a qualification at- tempt today was 22-year-old Dale Whittington, the young- est entrant for this year's race and the third of a trio of brothers who appear likely to make Speedway history. Whittington’s two older brothers, Don, 36, and Bill, 32, qualified last week. If Dale qualifies — and it’s a pretty good bet he will, based on Thursday's practice speed at nearly 199 mph — the Whittingtons would become the first brother trio ever in the same Indy race. The speed to beat, the slowest among the first 22 qualifiers, was 193.819 mph, recorded last week by rookie Chip Mead. Thirdt-eight cars took practice laps during Friday's rain-shortened session. The top speeds were by second- year drivers Mike Chandler, who pushed his Chevy-pow- ered Eagle to 197.288 mph, and Tony Bettenhausen, who reached 197.152 in his March- Cosworth. Jerry Sneva prac- ticed at better than 196 mph. Greg Leffler, who had ear- lier turned a lap at more than 193 mph spun 150 metres and struck the fourth-turn wall.
