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 mat 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.

Kissinger denies the report.

Frank Snepp. 34-year-old former chief intelligent analyst of Communist strategy for the CIA in Saigon, made the allegation in an interview with Mike Wallace on the CBS television program "60 Minutes." "Kissinger, during the later stages of the Paris-negotiations in '72 and late '71, was anxious to find some way to get those negotiations off dead center," Snepp said. "At his direction, we, in cooperation with the Pentagon, put together contingency studies on how to kidnap the North Vietnamese leadership. 1 "It was a rather amus-ng study because we couldn't even identify where the North Vietna mese 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.

Vera Brown StaiT, a Yavapai Indian from Clarkdale, said1 she knows of instancesvvhen 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. 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 delegation was chosen, but women who did decided ahead of time that they would make him a delegate.

"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.

"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 party without liberalizing GOP positions on energy, the economy, the military, Social Security and welfare.

She was hoarse for chanting "Viva la mujer" (long live women i during (he Sunday session considering the resolution. Males at Los Angeles Times HOUSTON For almost three days now, Reid Smith of Liberty, has been sitting quietly on his hard steel chair surrounded by almost 2,000 female dele gates discussing the issues of the National Women's Conference here. A quiet man by nature, Smith has not once raised his voice in debate, in joy or in sorrow.

He is one of only six male delegates to the conference, all from Mississippi With one exception, none of them has spoken or taken part except to rise when the delegation rises to vote. "I think once, maybe, one of our men got, up and tried to get to the microphone, but he wasn't very successful," Smith said. I know there are women here better qualified than than me to speak, so I haven't had much to say either." he added. Smith, like everyone else in the Mississippi delegation, is white, and anti-feminist. Controversy has surrounded the six men since the convention began last Friday.

An attempt was made Saturday to unseat the entire Mississippi delegation when charges were made that the men were "sympathizers of the Ku Klux Klan." "I am not, have never been and never will be a member of the Ku Klux Klan," said Shcllon Hand, another of the male delegates. Smith said all the men have denied repeatedly that they had any contacts with the Klan But they said one Mississippi delegate. Mrs. Dallas Higgins, is married to a grand dragon of the United Klans of America, based in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Homer G.

Morgan Jr. of Hattiesburg, an accountant, admitted he was not enjoying the conference much. He said he believes the men probably have attracted unfavorable publicity, but added that making speeches in retaliation would draw more attention to the controversial delegation.

Passage of the recommendation caused hundreds of delegates to circle the auditorium with linked hands singing, "We Shall Overcome." Meanwhile, Rep.

Pat Schioeder, presided at a hearing on peace and disarmament. She said women always have been told that they don't understand killing because that is men's role. "Women's issues go beyond securing their immediate rights into the long-term quality of life. One of those areas has to be defense." She and other panelists urged the delegates to educate themselves on American disarmament talks, the neutron bomb, troop reductions in Europe, arms sales and other defense issues. Thousands of opponents also were in Houston to protest the conference.

They held a rally Saturday night in the Astro Amendment. A leader of the opponents. Phyllis Schlafly, said Sunday a small unit of her lollower would remain in Houston to monitor the remainder of the conference. It was estimated that about 20 percent of the delegates at the conference held views similar to those of Mrs. Schlafly and her followers.

Recommendations placed before the delegates were a compilation of proposals adopted in 5fi stale and territorial meetings that preceded the national conference. The IWY Commission added the women's department proposal. The draft recommendations are known as a national plan of action. Another of the more controversial issues was cleared Saturday night when a majority of delegates endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. They also backed recommendations on battered wives, child abuse, child care, and employment.

Ark. (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 Rights 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.
