Cunningham, is a 1971 Center Grove graduate and is assigned to a special forces group in the Gulf. The swiftness of the ground war and its extremely light allied casualties still didn't end the worry for relatives who remained at home. "Right now, I'm a little uneasy, and I will feel thai way until my son is back in the States," said Noblitt "111 feel much better when I see him in the United States," said Sweezy. "We'll probably head for Fort Bragg (N.C., where Sweezy is normally assigned). Sweety's oldest son, Michael, a Purdue University student, is also in an Indiana National Guard unit, but wasnt called to active duty.

"Jeff is part of the mililtary police assigned to a tank division, said Zuercher. "His division was one of the ones that flanked the Republican Guards and faced them head-on. I wasnt sure where be was until I heard his division number mentioned on CNN last night "Watching all this on television can be frustrating," she said. "There were times I wanted to know what was going on and times I didn't" Communications contributed to the anxiety of the county residents. Most complained of slow mail from the Gulf.

Zuercher said the last letter from her son arrived Feb. 14. For Sinclair, it was Feb. 11. Noblitt last heard from Cunningham on Jan.

30. For Pritchard, it was Feb. and for Sweezy, a letter dated Jan. 24 arrived on Feb. 11 Most felt they knew why the Iraqis gave up.

Some said it was the fierce aerial bombardment Others said the allied war plan was the key. Black said that she expected the ground war would be over with quickly. "Kenny said it would be. He said that was the plan. I was expecting thousands of casualties.

Maybe there weren't many because they knew what to da" But Pritchard said there might have been another reason. "Maybe the Iraqis wanted it over with. Maybe they didn't want to die." All the Johnson County residents wanted their soldiers to know that they were proud of their efforts. "My son believes in what he's doing," said Noblitt. "He felt he had a Job and he had to go and do it" All wanted their relatives to return soon, but that may not happen for Klotzsche, said Pritchard.

His normal tour of duty on the Roosevelt wasnt scheduled to end until July, but she said that may be pushed back one or two months. "It may be a long summer," Pritchard said. "But at least this is over." iwi Keen oiiimi, me oGulf E3 HHO INDIANA JOHNSON COUNTY Wednesday's high 37 Overnight low .28 Temperature at 8 a 35 i w-fr- The U.S. terms specify that all Iraqi equipment captured by VS. forces belongs to the United States and will either be taken away or destroyed.

Echoing VS. sentiments about Saddam's armed might, a VS. officer in Riyadh said of the weaponry: "We're not going to leave it to let it be used again." At least 80,000 Iraqi troops were taken prisoner, many of them hungry, frightened and demoralized by weeks of allied bombing. A VS. military official said as the war wound down, one group of about 40 Iraqis even tried to surrender to a pilotless Marine drone reconnaissance military official in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The allies called on Iraq to designate military commanders to meet allied military representatives within 48 hours, at a site to be chosen in the Kuwaiti theater of operations, to arrange for military aspects of the cease-fire. The allies have demanded the release of all prisoners of war and third country nationals, all Kuwaiti detainees estimated by VS. officials at 40,000 and the remains of those who died. In addition, the coalition is demanding the location of all land and sea mines laid by the Iraqis. I FORECAST Tonight Partly cloudy.

Low around 40. South wind 15 to 20 mph. In the Iraqi capital, Baghdad radio signed on this morning with patriotic songs and its standard denunciation of the allies as "criminal invaders." At first it did not mention the halt in hostilities. But later, a military communique was read, announcing the suspension of allied attacks and telling Iraqi troops to respond in kind. "We are happy for the halt in fighting, which will save a lot of our sons and grant the safety of our people," it said.

"Therefore, orders were issued to all our units in the battlefront not to open fire." With word of the cease-fire, volleys of celebratory rifle and anti-aircraft fire split the smoke-filled skies over Baghdad. The Iraqi capital, a constant target during the allied air war, came under a final blast of bombardment only hours before the truce took hold. On ships in the Persian Gulf, on sprawling air bases and in desert camps, more than half -million UJ5. troops the biggest VS. deployment since Vietnam heard word of the halt to fighting.

White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the first withdrawal of American troops could conceivably begin within a matter of days. But Bush said a permanent cease-fire de this morning, after the late-night drama of Iraq's agreement to abide by the council's resolutions on Kuwait The dozen Security Council resolutions passed in the wake of Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait include provisions on reparations and human rights violations, an arms embargo and the renunciation of Iraqi claims to Kuwait' Iraq's promise to abide by the resolutions came in a letter addressed to the Security Council and signed by Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz. "The government of Iraq agrees to fully comply with U.N. Resolution 660 and all the other Security Council resolutions," it read in part Whatever the long-term postwar picture, the immediate terms of peace were being dictated by the victors on the battlefield.

At the stroke ofmidnight EST 8 a.m. today in Iraq allied forces ceased land, sea and air attacks. To help make sure the Iraqis knew of the cease-fire, the allies dropped leaflets on Iraqi troops and blasted the news over loudspeakers in Arabic. With the start of the cease-fire, surviving Iraqi forces were being allowed to make their way home, military officials said. "If they come up to VS.

positions and do not attack U.S. positions then our policy now is to allow them to pass with their weapons," said a VS. Friday Showers likely. High in the upper 50s. Likelihood of rain 70 percent.
