Vict plot fitted Prett International WASHINGTON Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once directed the Central Intelligence Agency to study was to kidnap North Vietnamese leaders, a former CIA official said Sunday. Kissinger denies the report.

i i. i 'We are not anti-people, but that's how we're perceived," said Dole. "It's not uhat are as a party, it bow we're received." Former Texas Gov. John B. Connally said rank-and-file Republican tend to pay full attention to presidential races, rather than organizing at the state, county and congressional district levels in the interim.

"We're going to have start making some significant gains in next years' congressional elections." Connally said, adding that the Democrats are vulnerable on a 's balanced-budget promise. "It's good to try, but I don't think they're going to do it the way they're going about it," Connally said. "You can't do it by increasing deficit party than from the Democratic Party." Reagan said the GOP should avoid liberal and conservative labels. He said the party should measure candidates by their allegiance to the 1976 party platform and its strong military and conservative domestic policies. "Let that be the measure of our Republicanism, and let's put an end forever to this giving each other a saliva test to gauge our conservatism," Reagan said.

Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, the former national GOP chairman and 1 9 7 6 vice presidential nominee, agreed with Reagan on the need for changing the "fat cat" image that Carter painted of Republicans, but said he does not know how to do it. njffl 4.

"Kissinger, during the later stages of the Paris negotiations in '72 and late '71, was anxious to find some way to get those negotiations dead center," Snepp said.

"At his direction, we, in cooperation with the Pentagon, together contingency studies on how to kidnap the North Vietnamese leadership. "It was a rather amus-i study because we couldn't even identify where the North Vietnamese lived, much less kidnap them." Wallace said Kissinger denied any knowledge of such a plan. He said Kissinger asked, "What would we have done with them if we got them?" Snepp, who left the CIA in 1976, has written a book, "Decent Interval," charging that the agency and other branches of the government mishandled the U.S. evacuation from South Vietnam in 1975. Thousands of Vietnamese who had helped the Americans were left in jeopardy, he claims.

Snepp also said in the interview that "top" South Vietnamese officials, dur-i the regimes of Nguyen a Ky and Nguyen Van Thieu, were "protected" by the U.S. Embassy against investigations by American narcotics agents. Lfr OPEN Lj DAILY proposed an end to the "systematic removal of children from their families and communities and (the) observance of treaties and hunting and fishing rights." The section on Hispanic women asked that the deportation of mothers of American-born children be stopped and that citizen-s i requirements be eased. It also proposed that women working as migrant farm laborers be allowed' to participate in collective bargaining. The black women portion said steps should be taken to "address the crises of unemployment DELIVERY BEFORE CHRISTMAS SERVING ALL OF ARIZONA-TERMS UP TO 3 YEARS-OR 5 CASH DISCOUNTS CALL FOR FREE ESTIMATES 263-0822 which impacts the black community and results in black teen-age women having the highest rate of unemployment."

servicemen. "I think it was really a considerable effort of all minority women and we'll all work together on this issue," said Carolyn Nakamura of Glendale. "I have never seen so many minority women support each other so family, pro-life and pro-country," Temple said, "one of my daughters is a real liberal and she doesn't agree with me on a lot of things, but that's ok." Hand said, "I have a fantastic wife and there's nothing that affects my wife that doesn't concern me and nothing that affects me that doesn't concern my wife. I feel very comfortable speaking for her and for my other women friends." It was one of 26 resolutions that will be sent to Congress as a national plan of action from the conference. The four-page resolution states that "all levels of government action" should be directed to such areas of concern to minority women as invol-u a sterilization, monolingual education, better educational and employment opportunities, sex and race bias in the sale of insurance and improved housing.

A portion of the resolution, aimed at aiding American Indian and Alaska native women, women's Curtis Caine of Jackson did not even attend the state convention where the delegation was chosen, but women who did decided ahead of time that they would make him a delegate. "I'm a student of the Constitution and I find no constitutional sanction for this activity or for the expending of these federal funds," he said emphatically, reterring to the $5 million that Congress More about talks keep silent hard," said Judy McCarthy, an Apache Indian from Phoenix. Lorraine White, a Quechan-Pueblo Indian from Yuma, who is also the superintendent of Fort Yuma for the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, said she is encouraged by the proposal asking for an end to involuntary removal of Indian children from homes. Vera Brown Starr, a Yavapai Indian from Clarkdale, said she knows of instanceswhen church members have removed children from homes with-of instances when church "We try to get them back, but we can't find them," she said.

Black delegate Mary Covington of Tucson said she felt the resolution "didn't go far enough" to ensure better training and education for black women. Although Arizona delegates tried to speak in behalf of the resolution, they did not gain recognition of the chairwoman. The Arizona delegation will also join to ask the 2,000 delegates conference to pass a resolution that would demand that Medicaid, a health program for low-income families, be made mandatory nationwide. Arizona is the only state that has rejected Medicaid. Ji tailed Press International LAKE BUENA VISTA.

Fla. Southern Republicans, conceding they have a long way to go toward unseating President Carter in I960, insist they can attract blacks and blue-collar voters without retreating from the conservative platform on which they lost in 1976. "The Republicans are meeting at Disney World to talk about these things but I think it's not fan-tasyland, it's frontier-land," said Republican National Committeewom-an Paula Hawkins, chairman and hostess of the three-day Southern GOP meeting. Although the Panama Canal was the favorite topic among delegates at the meeting, where "keep the canal give away Carter" stickers were distributed by Ronald Reagan supporters, speakers hammered away at the theme of "broadening the base" of the parly without liberalizing GOP positions on energv, the economy, the military. Social Security and welfare.

"It's high time that we go into the minority community and appeal to them not because they're black or brown or whatever, but because they're Americans," Reagan said.

"We have overcome another barrier," said a i a Alvarez, a Mexican-American from Phoenix. She was hoarse for chanting "Viva la mujer" (long women) during the Sunday session considering the resolution.

The conference, with representatives from every state, is sponsored by the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year. Mrs. King said blacks, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, Alaskans, Pacific Islanders and native Americans worked together around the clock to present a plank on minority women that everyone could support. "A remarkable thing happened," she said of the overwhelming floor vote.

"When some of my friends particularly the Mormon women voted with us, this was just a remarkable thing for all of us. We have been so moved and inspired." Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of Negro Women, said the adoption of the plank was important because minority women "have felt reluctant to work wholeheartedly for the women's movement because they felt it reflected only the problems of sexism, not racism." She said the convention has demonstrated that it cares strongly about both problems. The minority women also praised Gloria Steinem, whom Mrs. King said "symbolized Ihe allies in our struggle" and helped in the passage of the substitute recommendation. It said in part that "every level of government action should recognize and act on the double discrimination" suffered by minority women.

Passage of the recommendation caused hundreds of delegates to circle the auditorium with linked hands singing, "We Shall Overcome." Thousands of opponents also were in Houston to protest the conference. They held a rally Saturday night in the Astro Arena, chanting slogans against abor tion, gay rights and the Equal Rights Amendment. A leader of the opponents, Phyllis Schlafly, said Sunday a small unit of her follower would remain in Houston to monitor the remainder of the conference. i I Ortifirt I i KiiMimmiMKsi tMKMlMWy 257 Ooff CENTRAL 0822 Mco.

(AP) Anita Bryant says the National Women's Conference at Houston is "pro-lesbian, pro-abortion and pro many other things that aren't representative of the thinking of most American women." I believe in equal rights for women, but not in the Equal Right3 Amendment, and certainly not in the Women' Conference, which is a waste of $5 million of the American taxpayer's money," she told reporters at the Little Rock Airport on Saturday en route to a singing engagement in nearby Pine Bluff.
