In Saigon, Haig met with Thieu for nearly two hours today. A U.S. Embassy spokes- man said he could neither con- firm or deny the Times report on the letter.

The Times said in the story from Washington that officials would not comment on the con- tents of the President's letter but said that Haig would cer- tainly point out that in the last two weeks the United States had greatly increased arms supplies to help South Vietnam defend itself. Minneapolis police now under fire MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) Police officials were ques- tioning today why a man charged with the murder of a policeman was not handcuffed when taken out of. Jail to see a dentist Thursday, and why his escape was not reported for more than 20 minutes. Frank Gavenda, 21, fled from a Hennepin County deputy sheriff after being taken from the county jail to a hospital two blocks away.

The deputy had been temporarily distracted in the waiting room when a wo- man fainted, and Gavenda bolt- ed from his seat and into the street. He fled northward from downtown Minneapolis toward an area of railroad yards, warehouses and flour mills, po- lice said. The escapee had been held for the last three weeks in the slaying of Minneapolis police Lt. Inno Suek. Suek was shot to death during a robbery Sept.

30 at a Minneapolis liquor store, where he worked in off duty time as a security guard. Minneapolis Police Chief Gordon Johnson said he had several questions to raise con- cerning the escape. He said he was told the deputy chased Ga- venda, and then made his way back to the sheriff's office on foot to report the escape more than 20 minutes after it oc- curred. A number of tips about men matching Gavenda's descrip- tion were checked out, Deputy Chief Elmer Nordlund said today, but there were no in- stances of "positive identi- fication" of the escapee since he fled. Gavenda had complained of dental pain, and was waiting to have a tooth extracted when he jumped up and ran out the door of the emergency room waiting area at Hennepin County Gen- eral Hospital.

Although he was not known to be armed, he was described as dangerous. "Anybody that kills a cop is definitely dangerous," a police spokesman said. Fergus Falls (Mil.)

EAR FOR NEWS Ben Franklin, pioneer American printer and jour- nalist, not only had a nose for news, but also a musical ear for news. As a boy he peddled on the street printed copies of a ballad he wrote chronocling America's earliest lighthouse tragedy, the drowning of the keeper of the Boston light and five companions in 1718. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP)-A 26-year-old Min- neapolis man who was picked up by police as he walked out of Stillwater State Prison on parole staged a skirmish Thursday in Hennepin District Court. Six deputy sheriffs over- powered David Kluck, dragged him from the courtroom of Judge Douglas Amdahl and re- turned him to a solitary con- finement cell in the county jail after the 15-minute con- frontation.

Kluck was sentenced to 20 years in prison last June on ag- gravated robbery charges, but was released on parole last month. The parole drew a pro- test from the sentencing judge, Tom Berg in of Hennepin Dis- trict Court, who said Kluck should serve the entire sen- tence. Minneapolis police, who had withheld charging Kluck with a theft count, were waiting for htm when he walked out of prison. They booked him in the county jail pending trial on the new charge. Kluck, who has made repeat- ed complaints about his treatment in the jail, appeared in court Thursday with an as- sistant state public defender.

The defender asked for a two- week stay of Kluck's arraign- ment so he could study charges against him, but Kluck ob- jected. He said he wanted a "speedy" trial and claimed jai- lers were holding him in a "cold, isolated cell." He also claimed jailers mistreated him. Kluck turned to Amdahl and shouted, "I'm not going back up there." The judge ordered him re- turned to an isolation cell, Kluck shouted he wouldn't go and six deputies then hand- cuffed the prisoner and dragged him from the room. McGoverns vacationing CHARLOTTE AMALIE, V.I. (AP) George McGovern and his wife Eleanor have started a post-election vacation at a friend's hilltop home which overlooks Charlotte Amalie.

DOUG mi SHARON BALGAttD Dairy land Drive-In 1220 NORTH UNION D1AL736-3491 Dear Dr. Thosteson: Please tell me what you know about wry neck and also the best way to treat it.

Is an operation to cut the muscle dangerous? Will it handicap you? B.C. Do you mean tell you everything I know about wry neck? Or just some? And the "best way to treat it?" The best treatment is the one that fits the cause if you can find out the cause. Torticollis, or wry neck, is a pain in the neck more ways than one. In plain language, it is difficult to treat and results are unpredictable. Most of the time, the cause is not clear, which makes il difficult for all concerned.

A basic part of investigating the trouble is to have X-rays in case changes in the neck spine are responsible. Often no such distortion is found but the psychological factor can be the paramount problem, and in some eases psychotherapy is necessary to get the patient's psychological ouirks "unwound." Sedatives may help; muscle relaxants usually do not, even though excessive tautness of certain muscles may be the basis of the problem. The trouble is, how do you relax certain muscles while not af- fecting other muscles, the services of which are required to draw head and neck back into balanced condition? Surgery cutting of certain nerve trunks or muscles is a last resort procedure. If that happens to work, fine, but there's no guarantee that it will. Wry neck is, as I've already said, no easy proposition, and the "best treatment" is the one that works.

If it does, Dear Dr. Thosteson: When one has Parkinson's disease and is taking Ixlopa, is there anything to take for sleepless nights that wouldn't interfere with the L-dopa? Is it safe to take aspirin or sleeping pills? G.T. Sleeping pills (such as bar- biturates) may be used with L- dopa. Aspirin also can be used for some patients it has a sedative effect. Dear Dr.

Thosteson: About 10 years ago the doctor found my husband had emphysema and should quit smoking. Sometime later a specialist found he had angina. He quit smoking for 10 years and felt good and looked good. A short time ago he started to smoke again. He has lost weight and has a peculiar cough, especially at night.

I am very concerned and would like you to explain the effect of smoking on a person with this condition. Mrs. D.S. Why should I explain, when you are seeing what happens right before your eyes? The angina and emphysema complicate each other. No emphysema patient should smoke and I am astonished and saddened that your husband can't understand it.

Emphysema can be con- trolled. To learn how to live with this serious lung disease, write lo Dr. Thosteson in care of this newspaper, requesting a copy of the booklet, "How To Control Emphysema," en- closing a long, self-addressed (use zip code), stamped en- velope and 20 cents in coin to cover cost of printing and handling. Dr. Thosteson welcomes all reader mail, but regrets that, due to the tremendous volume received daily, he is unable to answer individual letters.
