They're among some 46,000 stuuenis journeying to the first day of school between about 7:30 and 9 a.m.

this morning. Motorists have been asked to be especially careful. Capt. E. Dale Allen, head of the police traffic bureau, warned of the need for caution.

"People should be aware of the fact that kids are going to be out en masse during particular times ol the day irom now on," he said, "and should be alert during those times." He said the biggest rush of children in the streets will probably be between 8:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. bchool otucials said a new i sate route plan will be in effect in most areas. The school and city officials and P.T.A. members have developed the plan, which calls for instructing children to follow an approved I route and to avoid crossing streets at some intersections.

Single Crossing They said it may mean that some children will walk slightly longer distances, but it is safer for them to cross at a single well-controlled intersection than to use scattered crossing points. They encourage all the children in one area to walk together on one side of a street and to cross only at designated intersections.

Firms Lavish By Nick The canvas-covered casket bearing the body of former heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano was loaded aboard a jetliner without ceremony or fanfare Monday for the I LfiUL LI I Ulll Governors Hear His Proposed Steps COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) President Nixon pledged himself Monday night to forge "a strategy for the 70s" an effective strategy for peace that will make it possible to meet the nation's problems at home. "We stand on the threshold of a time when the impossible becomes possible," Mr.

Nixon said "a time when we can choose goals that, a generation ago, would have seemed as unreachable as the moon, and reach them." Mr. Nixon used the Labor Day holiday to fly from the Western White House for an appearance before the National Governors Conference and a tour of the North American Air Defense Command headquarters inside nearby Cheyenne Mountain. In his address to the governors, Mr. Nixon said America must put drive behind its dreams. To do this, he said, requires a new strategy for the 70s.

Central Issue "The central race in the world today," he said, "is neither an arms race nor a space race. It is the race between man and change. The central question is whether we are to be master of events, or the pawn of events." Looking toward the nation's 200th anniversary in 1976, the President sounded a call for government at all and the people as individuals to unite in discovering a new spirit of '76. And he said the first big need of his new strategy is to make government work. "The new strategy for the '70s," the President said, "requires a strategy for peace and I pledge to you tonight that we will have an effective strategy for peace.

"This means maintaining defense forces strong enough to keep the peace, while not allowing wasteful expenditures to drain away resources we need for programs. "It means limiting our commitments abroad to those we can prudently and realistically keep. It means helping other free nations maintain their own security, but not rushing in to do for them what they can and should do for themselves. "It does not mean laying down our leadership. It does not mean abandoning our allies.

It does mean forging a new structure of world stability in which the burdens as well as the benefits are fairly shared a structure that does not GOVERNORS Please ftini to Page Nine Gifts on chairman of the host corn-mi 1 1 said the donations which make up the operating funds may run $10,000 short.

No Details Daniels would disclose none RIFT YET OVER REDWOOD PARK By Daryl Lembke i The Los Angeles Times ORICK, CALIF. President Nixon and his predecessor, Lyndon Baines Johnson, came to a mountaintop near this northern California town of 885 people last week for a friendly little ceremony in the new Redwood National Park.

The occasion was the dedication of the Ladybird Johnson honoring the former first lady for her leadership in conservation. All was sweetness and harmony during the event, but controversy over the park is still far from over. Individuals with widely divergent opinions about what a redwood is good for stood listening attentively as the two presidents, Mrs. Johnson and Gov. Ronald Reagan delivered polite talks about the surrounding beauty.

Area's Economy There were civil leaders and lumbermen present people who basically look at the redwoods as a resource to be used for the benefit of the area's economy and who fought a three-year battle in an attempt to block formation of the park by Congress. Mingling with them were the conservationists in the Sierra Club, most of them from outside the region and many of REDWOODS Please turn to Page Seven long trip home to Brockton, Mass Few of the passengers knew of the casket's presence in the cargo compartment of the United Air Lines Boeing 727.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (AP) The commanding officer and a junior officer of the U.S. destroyer Frank E.

Companies building roads that are financed by federal funds are being checked regu larly for compliance with feder al anti-bias rules. State Money But companies working on roads paid for with state money aren't being checked at all on state orders banning discrimination.

All highway building con tracts awarded in Iowa include a "special provision" in which the contractor pledges not to discriminate. The pledge is required by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads on federal work and on Mate work by an Iowa state executive order issued in October, 1967.

Iowa Out of Truck Pact Next Year By George Mills Iowa will not be a member in 1970 of the 17-state licensing agreement under which 36,000 large out-of-state trucks use the highways of this state, says Iowa Public Safety Commis sioner Jack Fulton. The state of New Mexico has refused to accept a proposal under which Iowa would continue as a member of the compact, Fulton said.

One Turndown "This means we cannot be in the uniform agreement next year because it takes only one turndown to eliminate Iowa," Fulton said. He is one of three members of the Iowa Reciprocity Board which handles interstate truck licensing in this state. Fulton said the proposal rejected by New Mexico goes as far as Iowa law permits. The New Mexico development could have profound effects on interstate truck travel in Iowa. Fulton said, however, that Iowa still can proceed to negotiate agreements with individual states for the sharing of licenses paid by interstate trucks.

But the situation also presents the possibility that the trucks of some states may be required to pay full licenses to Iowa instead of partial licenses as is now the case. Iowa truck lines in turn could be similarly taxed elsewhere. The New Mexico rejection is in accord with the position of the interstate trucking interest. Those interests want the Iowa law changed to reduce interstate truck licenses in Iowa by ve a 1 million dollars a year.
