RUTLAND (AP) More than two months after the bodies of a Rutland couple were found in a parked car in Florence, State Police say they still have no clue as to who might have committed the economic standards of the industrialized Communist countries.

The Sofia leaders were among the pacemakers in denouncing the Prague liberalization drive. They joined in the occupation of the country, and later proclaimed an uncompromising fight at home against sympathizers with the "counterrevolution."

The story was told of a Bulgarian sergeant who was abducted by Czechoslovak "coun- terrevolutionaires" and then died rather than tell military secrets.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) Students at Colorado State University barricaded themselves on the third floor of the College of Agriculture Building for more than four hours today in an unsuccessful attempt to block Dow Chemical Co. job interviews, a university spokesman said. About 15 to 18 persons were arrested and ferried in patrol cars to downtown Fort Collins for booking, the spokesman said. Some members of the group were believed to be non-students and members of the radical Students for a Democratic Society, he said.

Police said it was not decided immediately what specific charges would be filed. The job interviews began after the protesters, who had vowed to "hold indefinitely" the building, were arrested. Burns B. Crookston, dean of students, said all students who participated in the protest were suspended immediately.
