Carter Makes First Real Campaign Talk WASHINGTON (UPI) In his first public appearance since announcing he would resume active campaigning President Carter failed to mention the Iranian hostage crisis and no one in the audience asked him about it. Instead, Carter asked those attending the League. of Women Voters' annual convention Monday for help in pressuring Congress to pass legislation to avoid a cutoff next month of food stamps. Carter also said he was looking forward to reviving the ratification process of the SALT II treaty, pledged to debate the Republican nominee in the fall, and accused Fidel Castro of inciting "mob violence" in Havana.

Asked by reporters why Carter had ignored the Iranian crisis in his remarks, White House press secretary Jody Powell said, "I realize your inclination to be reading tea leaves, ink blots and cloud pictures. "Be careful about jumping to conclusions that he is not going to be mindful about the problems in Iran." Powell said Carter's speech had dealt with "the challenges that we face." Asked why he had forgotten to bring up the subject, Powell said, "That's your conclusion that he forgot." Nevertheless, the hostage crisis has had lower visibility since Carter announced last week the nation's problems were more manageable and he could now travel outside of Washington on occasion. Previously, Carter vowed to remain off the campaign trail until the 53 American hostages in Iran were freed. He was expected to touch on the Iranian crisis during a speech to the World Affairs Council in Philadelphia Friday. Some of Carter's political advisers urged him to shift his attention to other pressing issues after the aborted rescue mission in Iran ended in tragedy.

The problem may come into sharp focus again on May 17, the deadline the allies have pledged to act on joining economic and political sanctions against Iran. Powell told reporters Carter spent 20 minutes Monday with Lord Carrington, British foreign secretary, and found the word from him "to be encouraging concerning the alliance." Powell declined to comment on reports Carter knew the loss of life among some of the hostages was likely but wanted to bring an end to the festering problem. So far, both Carter and Powell have declined to say whether they know the present whereabouts of the hostages. Other sources say Carter has information on where they are located, but will not discuss it for "obvious reasons."

(UPI) Firefighters today battled the deadly advance of a blaze set by the U.S. Forest Service that raged out of control, consuming 25,000 acres of timber and killing one man. The fire in the Huron- Manistee National Forest was set early Monday to improve the habitat of an endangered bird species, but a shift in the wind sent flames whipping out of control.

At least 25 cabins were destroyed in the Mack Lake area and authorities said about 1,500 people were evacuated. The fire six miles from north to south and 12 miles from east to west was moving eastward. "About 25,000 acres have burned," Forest Service spokesman Robert Lockhart said today. "Jackpines in the area have been pretty much burned out. It's now into hardwoods like oak and we expect it to slow.

"But wind gusts are our Yugoslavs (Cont'd from Page 1) maneuvering had already started over the strategically placed nation with the announced lineup of guests at the funeral, promising to be one of the most important and biggest gathering of world leaders in years. The United States is sending Vice President Walter Mondale. Britain will be represented by Premier Margaret Thatcher, West Germany by Helmut Schmidt. Chinese leader Hua Guofeng will attend in a clear demonstration of Peking's attitude towards the leader who defied the Kremlin in 1948. Moscow had yet to announce who would attend the funeral although Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was considered a certainty a rather low-ranking representative.

But Nicolae Ceaucescu, leader of independent-minded Romania, announced he would be in Belgrade. biggest problem. We do not expect to have it under control for a while, probably by this morning." As 100 firefighters grappled with the blaze, Lockhart said "more crews are coming in and we expect them on the scene by morning." James L. Swiderski, 29, of Alto, a biological technician for the Forest Service, died of smoke inhalation while fighting the fire in a bulldozer. Another firefighter was hospitalized with burns.

"The main columns of smoke look like A-bombs going off," said Frank Bennett, a pilot who flew over the scene. "There are mushrooms there, I would say, 10,00012,000 feet high." About 200 to 300 firefighters fought the fire Monday, including personnel from the Forest Service, the state Department of Natural Resources, a halfdozen neighboring communities and surrounding states. Lockhart said the fire, set four miles south of Mio, borders Ogemaw County to the south where residents in South Branch were evacuated and Alcona County on the east. It is primarily located in the sparsely populated central portion of Oscoda County, he said. Two smaller fires that burned through 1,500 acres of state woodland north and south of the larger blaze were contained after several hours.

Much of the woodland destroyed was prime habitat for the Kirtland's Warbler, a tiny songbird on the endangered species list. Ironically, the blaze had been set in an effort to allow replanting that would improve the bird's habitat. No Kirtland's Warblers were in the area since they don't return to Michigan from their winter travels for several weeks. It was the largest fire in the state in five years, since lightning touched off a blaze in the Seney National Forest in the Upper Peninsula. That fire burned for months and consumed thousands of acres of woodland.

Blast (Cont'd from Page 1) with the rescue squads and they say there may be two or three more. There may be injuries in nearby homes we don't know about yet." Reports indicated the blast broke windows up to five miles away from the scene and the concussion was felt up to 20 miles away.

643-5240 township's annual spring clean up day has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 17, from 8 a.m. until p.m. And Mateer reminded residents that the street- sweeping will begin at midnight tonight. Mateer also reported that maintenance has been done on the township's three pumping houses located along Crooked Creek, near the Mapleton Bank and on Mount Vernon Avenue. He said that the state department of environmental resources had inspected the entire flood project area and had reported no problems.

The township's impounding dam has also recently been inspected but no report has been received as yet. Mateer said that two areas along the dike where the rip rap has been removed will be repaired in the near future. Mount Vernon Problem The sewer problem on the upper end of Mount Vernon Avenue was discussed again last night and Mateer listed the steps taken thus far in attempting to remedy the situation. Currently, crews are doing dye testing on Pennsylvania and Mount Vernon Avenues and have also exposed sewer lines in the Kelly's Korner Motor Inn area in an attempt to check those lines for infiltration of storm water. Several residents in attendance commended the supervisors on their continuing efforts to control the back tip problem with this section of the sewer system.

Solicitor David Ody reported that once specifications on hook ups are received from the township engineer and agreements are reached with property owners in that area to hook onto the system, advertising for bids for the storm sewer line between llth and 12th streets on Mount Vernon Avenue will be done. Bids may be ready for opening at the supervisors' June meeting. Supervisor Harry Corbin reported that the Crooked Creek stream improvement project has been completed with the exception of seeding the area. A letter was sent to Reeves Parvin Co. thanking the company for providing fill for that project.

Disposition of Parcels The supervisors last night approved an agreement between the township and the Redevelopment Authority of Huntingdon County (RAHC) dedicating parcel 17 (a piece of ground behind the Smithfield Elementary School) to the township. And parcel 32C, along Crooked Creek, was approved for sale to Edward C. McEwen. Other Business In other business last night the supervisors: Approved the reappointment of Nick Mohnal to a three year term on the township's zoning hearing board. Approved a minor sub division of the Shetrom property on the south side of Route 22 to Eugene B.

Ellinger, owner of Raystown Beverage. Received a letter asking the township to vacate the old alley on Eighth Street and to ordain the new section of Eighth Street and the new alley in that area. And, Discussed a proposed county wide emergency system but took no action. Attendance Attending last night's meeting held in the township offices, 13th Street and Mount Vernon Avenue, were supervisors Harry E. Corbin, Kenneth B.

Shea and Robert C. Kepner, chairperson. Also in attendance were township secretary treasurer Wayne Mateer, office manager Eydie Miller, solicitor David Ody and about 10 citizens. Family Theme Thousands (Cont'd from Page 1) "We'll continue to provide an open heart and open arms to refugees seeking freedom from communist domination and from the economic deprivation brought about primarily by Fidel Castro and his government," Carter told the League of Women Voters in Washington Monday. The president said the State Department has scrapped its policy of fining boat owners who carry the refugees to Florida.

And in the face of an apparently endless stream of refugees from Cuba, the federal government has suspended some of its immigration rules and is considering changing its entire immigration policy. Reports from Cuba indicated at least 1,500 small boats still are waiting in the port of Mariel to receive refugees. And scores of those who have landed at Key West are claiming thousands of their countrymen want to come to the United States. The federal government has beefed up the Coast Guard fleet in the Straits, called in Navy vessels, doubled the Immigration and Naturalization Service personnel, ordered in extra FBI, CIA and Customs Service agents and set up an Air Force tent city near Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle. These services have been augmented by a dozen charity organizations, Florida National Guard troops and vehicles, municipal and county personnel and facilities in south Florida.

It hasn't been enough. The governor ordered 300 more National Guardsmen into Key West today. REV. S.O. WOODWARD Petersburg Revival Is Planned Revival services will be held at the Church of the Nazarene, Petersburg, from Tuesday, May 6 through Sunday, May 11.
