Peace Corps Probe Asked by Lawmaker By WALTER R. MEARS WASHINGTON (AP)-A Peace Corps official says the training program for overseas duty is not designed ta turn out Tarzans or Janes-despite the charge of- a 65- year-old widow that she was ousted for refusing to do pushups and run a mile before breakfast. Janie Fletcher, of Panhandle, said the Peace Corps ran her ragged at- its training camp in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and finally dropped her from a group bound for duty in Brazil because she objected to the physical training program.

The Peace Corps denied Mrs. Fletcher was pressed to undertake physical training beyond her ability. "Obviously a woman of her ycars would not be expected perform like the younger people," Timothy J. Adams, acting chief of. public information, said Thurs.

day night. Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver said Mrs Fletcher's dismissal was not due her inability to take part in physical conditioning. "There were other reasons and these were discussed with he said. "One of them was that of all candidates for Brazil she had the lowest language facility." Mrs. Fletcher told a different story--and she told John it in G.

a letter senator, Tower, She said she was dropped because "the staff at the disliked me because I objected to the training. There could have been no other reason." Adams said the Fletcher matier "is closed as far as we're cerned." But Tower demanded investigation before the Senate votes on the corps budget. Mrs. Fletcher said younger Peace Corps volunteers at the Puerto Rico camp stayed up until the wee hours. and did much drinking She said she was "cursed and shoved beyond my strength" in a program that "would do justice to any army training." Shriver said he couldn't imagine anyone in the training camp cursing Texas schoolleacher.

He said night discussion groups were: allowed to drink beer, but there was no moral laxity. He said Peace Corps selections 'are based on merit, not politics, race, religion or age. "We have: said from the beginning that (Peace Corps standards would be high," Shriver said. "They have to be and we don't intend to relax them because of political pressure." Adams said Mrs. Fletcher was one of eight trainees dropped for various reasons from the Brazil.

bound group. "Every Peace Corps applicant is invited to training with the understanding that there will be no linal selection for overseas assignment until it is over," he said. Jic said three people over 60 successfully completed the trainting program in Puerto Rico without complaint and now are overseas. Mrs. Dildy, 65, Dies in Local Hospital Thursday Mrs.
