level Actually because the Soviet government is secondary to the Communist Party structure at every level the true authority in the KGB is in the administrative organs section of the Communisty central committee secretariate This is headed by First Secretary Leonid I Brezhnev It is Brezhnev himself who has direct and absolute control of the infamous KG-B Yuri Andropov is merely his lackey And Brezhnev is increasingly following a rate (department) know what policy of not letting one directo-another is doing nor of letting Andropov know for that matter The KGB has 15 directorates and they are headquartered in an immense grim gray stone former insurance company building in downtown Dzherzhinsky Square The building includes the Lubyanka Prison where important pesons are questioned

Quijsno and Dan Wells sources to continue consuming fuel at the present rate The amount of energy expended on transportation could be cut In half he said by diverting more passenger and freight traffic to railroads and buses One way to do this Is to give cities and states the option of using federal highway money for new subway or surface transit systems if that's what they prefer Such proposals are unpopular with the road-builders and auto dubs who regard the $6 billion In taxes collected on gasoline tires and truck tonnage each year as money to be used only for highway purposes But tax money should be spent where the need Is greatest and the need for clean fast commuter systems Is greater at the moment than the need for new roads Congress came close to opening up the highway trust fund to mass transit last fall The Senate approved the proposal but the House refused to go along So now the President Is back again The only question Is whether Congress will be smart enough this time to follow his advice and do what needs to be done President Nixon seems even mae determined in his second term than he was In his first to make federal highway money available for buses commuter trains and other mass transit projects The tip-off came the other day In testimony before Congress by the new Secretary of Transportation former California oilman Claude BUnegar Brlnegar said the President not only favors using highway trust fund money for rail rapid transit but wants to up the amount available from the $800 million he proposed last year to $11 billion $12 billion and $135 billion each In the next three fiscal years Combined with the $1 billion a year the government already Is spending on mass transit this could give hard-pressed rail and bus systems the funds they need to upgrade their service As Cincinnati Mayor Theodore Berry points out the only alternative to Improved mass transit Is highways more cars more And an alternative cities would do well to avoid For as

Sam discovered that 65 per cent could be made into a handsome 65 per cent figure just by removing the decimal point Somehow this writer detects contempt for the intelligence of Yokels We are not all country bumpkins as defined by Webster We did not assume the title of Yokels it was bestowed upon us by the Democrats However we did gain something besides a national debt and inflation from the We learned how to de-code Aesopean language Once only lawyers intellectuals and politicians could be -code it ''Wage-price is couched in Aesopean language Ommission of the noun salary" is inter- preted by Aesopean Code to infer the true text of the fractional message freeze on political Oh come now Sam We know that children believe that little David slew the giant Goliath with his slingshot Are you trying to impress the local Yokels that you shotdown the Kremlin of income with one pea from your verbal pea-shooter?

doing better with inflation and unemployment than they What has been happening has roots hi the American performance that go deep into the past Whether we are aware of it or not the crisis reflects the spendthrift nature of government finance in the past decade President Nixon inherited the dire consequences of the Vietnam war as well as the war Itself His predecessor Lyndon Johnson apparently saw no reason when the cost of Vietnam was running at $25 REGARDING THE rations being designed for smaller men my weight loss was such that seven months after getting out of prison (despite six meals a day for an extended period afterward) I was required to sign medical-underweight waivers for active duty Six month is not nine years or four or even one But the experience does give me some partial knowledge Experts report that POWs try in prison to escape from reality which makes adjustment to freedom difficult I am a quite normal human being and I found that in the periods the interrogators were not grilling I was preparing my mental defenses for the next session reviewing my past life studying what my main ambitions were thinking what I wanted to do with the NO ONE TAKES to the road any longer even in a small community without the dread apprehension that a supercharged will come charging out from a side street and smash him When your wife goes to the grocery a 1973 model may make it her last trip to the spring There is not much difference in sons and daughters being mangled by dire wolves untold centuries ago and the telephone call in the night (hat tells parents now to rush to the hospital where surgeons are sewing up EDITOR: I don't agree with Mr Richard personal feelings in regards to give complete amnesty to our boys who did not comply with the draft law and deserted or fled the US in protest to the immoral war in Vietnam I would like to call Mr attention to the fact that he was elected by the American people to represent and protect the American people from the injustices of the White House which for the last 10 years or more has conspired with some members of Congress to legislate man-made laws against our Constitution Therefore your duty is to protect the rights of those boys to return to their homes to return to their country and enjoy life with their families In my opinion they deserve punishment they deserve credit for their courage and sufferings They are guilty of nothing because Congress never declared war against Vietnam Congress is to blame for allowing all this killing end all this misery in Vietnam and instead of protecting your constituents you are taking the place of a judge the jury and the undertaker Cuellar POox 1331 AFTERWARD my inner pride at having survivedwithout breaking gave mean inner confidence which has never left We go through life wondering If we would break in a crisis All men must certainly have these doubts When a disaster strikes and we survive with dignity we have something which is without price We must keep this in mind in welcoming these prisoners of war home most have certainly proved themselves fV.
