Gullett who is serving as an attorney for both the Metro Industrial Development Board, which approves the bonds, and Commerce Union Bank, First American National Bank and Citizen's Savings Bank and Trust, who are seeking the bonds. CAWTHON BOWEN chairman of the Industrial Development Board, has denied that the purpose of the bill is to clear the way for the joint garage. He said instead that it is simply designed to "clear up a problem" related to public parking garages. Bowen is also a member of the board of Commerce Union.

Ed Nelson. executive vice president of Commerce Union, has confirmed that an effort is being made to change the code so the tax free bonds can be obtained for the parking facility. NELSON identified Gullett's law firm as representing the causing an estimated $5 million damage.

MEARS WASHINGTON (AP) Winthe-war demonstrators paraded their version of dissent along misty Pennsylvania Avenue yesterday and rallied at the Washington Monument. There, the Rev. Carl McIntire urged President Nixon to repeat his South Vietnam policy and "use the sword as God intended." U.S. PARK police estimated the crowd at 15,000, while Mcintire claimed his National March for Victory had drawn about 25,000 people trom every state in the Union. Washington police estimated 5,000 to 6,000 people were in the procession trom near Capitol Hill to the monument, where, newsmen estimated, up to 1,000 people had assembled without joining the march.

An AP photograph, taken from the top of the monument shortly after the marchers arrived and the rally began, showed a crowd that appeared in line with the lower estimates.

L. Wagner, who also announced plans for the launching of new "action phase" of Nashville Plus.

"My first task as Nashville Plus chairman was to get community leadership mobilized for a new push into the Buena Vista, a rural community about 10 miles east of Huntingdon, where it demolished a post office, church and several homes. Witnesses described the community as being "nearly wiped off the face of the "I didn't believe how bad the damage was," said Mayor Index Page 4-A Blown 100 Miles W. C.

The governor did not elaborate on whether he intended to veto the bill or allow it to become law without his signature.

Answering questions by college students attending the joint assembly of the first, annual Governor's Collegiate Forum and the Tennessee Collegiate Press Association on Tennessee Tech campus, Dunn said he expects to see a bill lowering the state's legal age to 18 "become law." THE GOVERNOR told some 120 students that he is opposed to a bill which would set aside state educational funds to provide grants for college students from families with an annual income below $5,000. Under that bill, students could receive college assistance grants and use the money to attend either public or private institutions. "This bill goes a little farther than I think we should go in education," Dunn said. "There are too many things needed in public (secondary) (Turn to Page 3, Column 1) and that it offers some "possibilities that are both exciting and realistic."

National Weather Service forecaster Ed Walker said the tornado probably blew paper and other debris into the upper atmosphere where jet streams or strong winds from thunderstorms carried them to Nashville. THE TORNADO, which cost two lives and injured an estimated 100 others in Carroll County, was apparently weakened by the time it reached the Tennessee River and did not touch down in this area.

At Buena Vista, the post office building was lifted from its foundations and deposited on a nearby, railroad track. Workmen had to remove the rubble to permit a train to pass several hours later. Letters from the post office were reportedly found in Nashville early yesterday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Gregory of Lipscomb Drive found a cancelled check from Vickers Motor Co.
