He wrote the document as an outgrowth of his work on campaigns to have physical barriers to the handicapped removed around the CMU campus and the community. "No less destructive are the at-tjtudinal' barriers people block our way with," he said.

'Uncle Sam' Only 17 Years Old FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) That venerable symbol of patriotism. Uncle Sam, has shed the weight of years for Bicentennial 1976 and looks like a teen-ager. Actually, this Uncle Sam is only 17 years old. Tim Larson, a high school senior, has taken to wearing an Uncle Sam costume to high school sporting events, elementary schools and appearances before civic groups. As he makes his rounds, Larson distributes red, white and blue badges, with the message: "1776-1976; The First 200 Years Are Always The Hardest." People are at first surprised at the sight of Uncle Sam, Larson said.

"And I believe there is a Russian aboard those ships who feels he can't kill another one. The whalers have to feel bad when they see a mother and father dash themselves against a ship after their baby has been harpooned. Baker says he really believes the town's campaign will prevail over the two major marine fishing nations.

$3.25 billion that the North Viet-jnamese said was promised by Nixon 'was the first time a specific price tag has come to light. The North. Vietnamese dated the letter from Nixon as early January Of 1973. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said during a news conference on Jan.

24, 1973, that the JLInited States made no secret understandings to obtain the Vietnam jteace pact. "When he was asked if an amount had been agreed on that the United States was committed to pay North Vietnam, Kissinger replied: "We will discuss the issue of economic reconstruction of all of including North Vietnam, ionly after the signature of the agreements, and after the implementation Is well advanced, and the definition of any particular sum will have to await the discussions which will take place after the agreements are in force." McCloskey was asked if the existence of the Nixon letter would appear to contradict Kissinger's statement that the amount of aid for North Vietnam had not been agreed pn. "I don't know not till 1 see it. The possibility exists but I don't want to Jeach any Judgment on it until I see it." he said. The congressional group is seeking a meeting with Kissinger to discuss the matter.

McCloskey said. 'We've tried to get a meeting with him for the last two weeks but he's been gone most of the time. We assume he'll meet with us. We hope to set something up this week." McCloskey added. outside Income.

Located on wind-carved coastal bluffs about 150 miles north of San Francisco, this town of less than 1,000 residents decided to unleash "Rose" and boycott Japanese-made goods after sighting a Russian whaler off House Select Committee on Missing in Action, seeking information on the fate of 850 missing Americans. He saidhe North Vietnamese promised to release more information on the missing Americans as they get it but that they said the United States should make "reciprocal gestures." McCloskey quoted the North Vietnamese as saying that the $3.25 billion was what was meant by a provision of the Paris agreement of January 1973 stating that the United States would contribute to "healing the wounds of war." As far as could be determined, the failed to advise him of certain rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. As a result of that court decision, law enforcement officers now carry cards bearing the "Miranda Warning" to inform suspected criminals of their rights to remain silent and to free legal counsel.

One of those cards was used to read 'kamora his rights in English and Spanish. Mary Ann Estrella, 21, a barmaid, said Miranda had been in the bar about three hours, drinking beer and playing cards, before the fight and stabbing. She said she warned him about the twJ men he was playing cards with' before the fight erupted. 2 IN MEMORtflMS IN LOVING MEMORY of our dear Father and Grandfather, LOUIS M.
