WASHINGTON (AP) The wood from President Nixon's inaugural stand has been salvaged for sale to builders, souvenir one promoter who is making it into plaques to sell for $100 apiece.

Ed Streeky, an Arlington, free-lance photographer, said he is having wood from inaugural-stand benches cut up, affixing brass plates and color photographs of the ceremony, and selling the plaques. Streeky said he has sold 87 of his $100 souvenirs so far. That's just one of the more exotic uses of the half- million board feet of lumber from the stand and seats built for the President's second inauguration Jan. 20 at the Capitol. Jacob Hoffman, who won the contract to dismantle the stands and sell the wood, said he's sold about 200,000 board feet of it for about $30,000.

One man bought $6.000 worth to build a beach house on the Virginia coast, he said, and a fireman bought a load for work at an apartment house he owns. "All kinds of people buy it, even some of the congressmen and senators," Hoffman said. "The Capitol policemen bought some. Lots of people." Streeky paid Hoffman $100 for 500 feet of wooden seats off the President's inaugural platform and made a deal to buy more feet for about $400. Streeky contracted with a local cabinet-maker to cut the wood into ll-by-14-inch squares and shape the edges.

He said he uses color photographs he took at the inauguration, and has the brass plates inscribed by a local engraver. Streeky says he's looking for other ways to make money from the scrap wood. "I've got a lot of scraps," he said. "I've got to figure out what to do with the scraps."

shop seeking singers WASHINGTON (AP) The Department of Transportation Monday proposed to establish the first national performance standards for automobile tires Sept. 1, 1974. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would require tire manufacturers to grade and label their product for tread wear, traction and high speed performance in accordance with the new standards. Safety Administrator Douglas Toms said the intent is to "help the American motorist buy the best possible tires for his car." The agency first proposed U.S. tire standards in September, 1971.

The grading system complex and confusing, however, that widespread protests brought about withdrawal of those suggested regulations. The safety administrator will accept industry and general public comment on the new proposal until June 4. The new proposal would grade tires for use on 13- inch, 14-inch and 15-inch rims. Grades for each area of performance would be moulded into the tire sidewall. They also would be shown on a label attached to the tire tread.

The label would contain an explanation of the grades and a statement that the tire meets federal safety standards. Grades for tread wear and traction would be based on comparisons of each with control tires specified by his agency, Toms said. High speed performance would be based on performance on a labratory test wheel. Grades used to indicate tread wear performance would be actual numbers specifying the percentage of control tire tread wear which manufacturer's tire is capable of meeting or exceeding. The lowest grade would represent the tire which produces less than 60 per cent of the control-tire tread wear.

Grades for traction would consist of three stars representing the highest grade, and a dash representing less than 90 per cent of the performance of the control tire. The high speed performance grade would be indicated by the letters, and with A the highest and indicating the minimum level of performance as required by the standards.

Flora Wagner, 69, died Monday in Barberton Citizens Hospital following a stroke suffered a week ago. A life resident here, she was a daughter of John and Alice Sell Brooks. Her husband, Aaron, died in 1972. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Robert (Shirley) Byrd of Pataskala and Mrs.

Posters with this demand are going up throughout the county in an effort to recruit members for a barber shop singing group.

Some 22 men have already applied for chapter status in the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet singing in America. Thirty-five men are needed to form a chapter. Temporarily named the Tusky Valley Barber Shop Chapter, the group meets on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. in the Schoenbrunn Moravian Church at 2200 E. High New Philadelphia.

Chorus director, Jules DiFedericko, said all men are welcome and reminded that "A singing county is a happy county." SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) President Salvador Allende's leftist coalition was strengthened by congressional election returns Monday night, and the Marxist chief executive said his government will "continue advancing toward socialism, within the framework of law, pluralism, democracy and liberty." "We shall implant our own brand of socialism, Chilean style, which differs from that of other countries," Allende declared. Jubilant government supporters celebrated in the streets of Santiago. Sunday's voting filled all U.S. dismantling greatest military machine in Southeast Asia history 150 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and half of the 50 Senate seats. Government candidates picked up seven seats in the chamber, cutting the opposition's majority to 87 to 63, and gained two seats in the Senate, leaving the opposition with a 30-20 edge.

The final count gave Allende's candidates 43.39 per cent of the vote and the opposition 54.70. The rest went to splinter groups and spoiled ballots. The outcome was a big boost for Allende, who had said he would consider 40 per cent of the vote a victory. He only drew 36 per cent in the three-man presidential race in 1970. Auto stolen SAIGON (AP) The greatest military machine ever seen in Southeast Asia is rapidly being pulled apart, without finale or fanfare.

The closing notices have been up all over South Vietnam since the Jan. 28 cease- fire opened the last phase of American involvement in the Vietnam war. With only 23 days left for the U.S. military pullout under terms of the agreement signed in U.S. troop strength by midnight Monday had dipped to 10,000 men, leaving the 1st Aviation Brigade, a helicopter outfit, and the 716th Military Police Battalion the biggest units in country.

Each has about 350 men. Reversing the trend of a decade, ships are heading down the winding Saigon River to the sea low in the water, carrying home to U.S. ports thousands of tons of trucks, guns, helicopters and planes. Sources close to the logistical command report that, with a little over three weeks remaining to pullout date, cargo planes and freighters have removed 61 per cent of the homegoing 130,000 tons of U.S. military hardware and 75 per cent of the estimated 100,000 tons of ordnance being sent to Korea for the South Korean army.

Two DCS passenger planes, shuttling between Cam Ranh Bay and Seoul, had managed to return some 22,000 of the 35,369 Korean troops stationed along the northeastern coast when the cease-fire was signedr Another 906 sailed home on a U.S. troopship. The logistical teams assigned to folding up Uncle Sam's military Dig top regarded the 60-day pullout op- eration "as only a drop in the bucket" compared with shipping home more than 2Va million tons of tanks, trucks, planes and guns since President Nixon began winding down the U.S. involvement in 1969. "What's going out now represents only three per cent of the cargo that has been shipped back so far," said a high-ranking source.

Besides the tonnage going home, known in military language as "retrograde cargo," the United States has turned over to the South Vietnamese all its remaining ammunition and millions of dollars worth of planes, helicopters and other weapons, including long-range 175mm howitzers and many M48 tanks. The biggest and most expensive items being shipped home are 21 Delong floating docks, valued at more than $55 million, that stood on stilts in the waters off Cam Ranh Bay, Vung Tau and Qui Nhon to receive U.S. cargo ships bringing over the objects of war. After more than six years in the waters off Vietnam, the barges are raising their barnacle-encrusted legs for a trip to New Orleans. Several already have been lifted from the waters off Vung Tau, where the Saigon River meets the China Sea, and floated to Singapore for loading onto barges for the final journey home.

Military sources say their future use is classified. Another expensive entry on Uncle Sam's homegoing manifest sheet is half a dozen electrical transformers, each valued in about $250,000. "These are very important to our combat reserve," said a military spokesman. Cargo pushers at Da Nang, on the northeast coast, and at Newport, Saigon's deep-water port built by the Americans, are busy swinging aboard freighters several hundred Chinook helicopters, hundreds of jeeps, 2Vz-and 5-ton trucks and a long catalog of military oddments ranging from mobile snack bars and pup tents to portable latrines and cartons of unused officers' clipboards, without which no modern army conceivably could move. In addition to what is being left for the South Vietnamese army, auctioneers at the military property disposal office are knocking down more than 100,000 tons of junk, ranging from still usable bulldozers and generators to mountains of battered tanks and jeeps and wornout tires, rising in rusty heaps over the empty wastes of what was once the huge -Long Binh 1st Logistical Command.

More than $50 million in sales of "serviceable" scrap, as it is officially termed, have been flogged to junk dealers, with Singapore bringing the best prices. Dover police are investigating the theft of a car early Monday from Espenschied Oldsmobile at 719 Boulevard. The building was broken into, and the stolen car was a 1967 Oldsmobile hardtop with a beige top and gold body. Around the World Another aftershock recorded PASADENA, Calii. (UPI) Another aftershock was recorded Monday from the earthquake that rattled Southern California 13 days ago.

It was at least the 14th aftershock since the quake Feb, 21, the first in the past week. Indiana abortion ruling INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A three-judge panel Monday ruled Indiana's abortion laws unconstitutional, following the action of other states in reaction to U.S. Supreme Court decisions in two recent cases.

The ruling affects four Indiana laws that provided for criminal action against persons prescribing medicine to produce miscarriages, women who solicit such assistance, those who give information or assistance on obtaining an abortion and those who advertise for abortions or miscarriages or those who provide such information. Gray resumes testimony WASHINGTON (AP) L. Patrick Gray III resumed testimony today before a Senate panel weighing his nomination as FBI director. Gray made public Monday an FBI memo saying President Nixon's campaign committee did not cooperate in the Watergate investigation. Commemorative coin asked WASHINGTON (UPI) To commemorate the nation's 200th anniversary, the Treasury Department wants to produce silver dollars and half dollars in "appropriate Revolutionary War designs." Congress was asked to authorize designs on the reverse sides of the Eisenhower silver dollar and the Kennedy 50 cent piece.

The new coins would be put into circulation on July 4, 1975, a full year before the observance. Clemente family sues WASHINGTON (UPI) The family of the late Roberto Clemente Monday sued the government for $5 million, charging negligence involving a plane crash which claimed the life of the Pittsburgh Pirate baseball star in December. The suit says the Federal Aviation Administration had information that neither the plane, the flight crew, nor the operating company had the proper certification for the flight. No cease-fire, no money WASHINGTON (AP) Before the United States provides aid to North Vietnam, Secretary of Defense Elliot Richardson says, there must be a real cease-fire in force in South Vietnam. He said the $2.9 billion earmarked for Southeast Asia could be tapped for reconstruction aid to Hanoi, but only in direct proportion to the reduction of hostilities.

Strike possibility grows i LONDON (AP) Militant labor unionists won a crucial vote Monday at a special meeting of the Trades Union Congress, Britain's big labor federation.

Rodney Brelsford of Calhoun and Brelsford Insurance Pizza burial was a mistake ALPENA, MIGB. (AP)Mario Fabbrini buried more than 44,000 mushroom pizzas Monday and the governor even turned out for the "services." But it seems as if someone made a big mistake. The federal government ordered the frozen pizzas from Fabbrini Family Foods destroyed two weeks ago because the mushrooms, from American Canning Co.

of East Palestine, 0., were believed tainted with botulism toxin. Fabbrini called the pizzas back from stores in northern Lower Michigan when two test mice died after eating samples of the pizza. It was later discovered that the mice did not die of botulism. "I think maybe it was indigestion. Maybe they just didn't like my pizza," Fabbrini wailed.

But by then the pizzas had been collected and they were buried on a farm here Monday. At the burial were Fabbrini's 22 employes, several newsmen and Gov. William G. Milliken, who spoke briefly. Fabbrini placed a wreath of red gladioli and white carnations on the grave of pizzas, which he valued at $39,000.
