5 July 4, 1972 Tallahassee Democrat Nixon Invites World From Page ours. Come and let us say thank you. Come and join in our celebration of a proud past. Come and share our dreams of a brighter future." Nixon said that as the bicentennial approaches, Americans "have a feeling of healthy impatience for change a determination to make this good land even better." He struck much the same theme in: a formal holiday message that said in part: "Great trials and greater triumphs still lie ahaed for us as a people. There are still wrongs to be righted, and new goals of peace, propserity, justice and a better environment to be met." The President spent much of Monday at his office, near his oceanside home here.

Among those he conferred with were Henrry A. Kissinger, assistant for national security affairs, and John D. Ehrlichman, domestic policy aide.

It closes with that signers' pledge to each other of "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred some of them paid with their lives and their fortunes for their actions. However, it is the second sentence of the Declaration that has meant so much to later Americans that some come to think of it as basic law of the land: "We hold these truths to be self -evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler ruled out appointment of a special investigator to conduct a blue ribbon probe of the recent attempted bugging of Democratic National Headquarters in Washington -a move urged upon Nixon by Democratic party Chairman Lawrence O'Brien.

Ziegler said Nixon believes the incident "should be pursued with an extensive investigation as is being undertaken by appropriate authorities." In Washington, O'Brien issued a statement saying: "I find Mr. Nixon's attitude toward the blatant act of political espionage against the Democratic party to be cavalier and cynical. I can only conclude that the President, the White House and the Nixon re-election apparatus indeed have something to hide." these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the by implication that these Americans were ridding themselves of governance by crowned heads presuming an unnatural superiority among men. American law came later, in the form of a United States Constitution drafted in 1789 which didn't track the Declaration of Independence in all respects. For example, it didn't mention equality of men.

(That didn't get in until 14th amendment, 90 years later.) It did put property rights up with life and liberty as primary for protection. It did contain guarantees that no future despot would repeat the offenses enumerated in grievances against the British crown. So, no matter that it was more for the world than for America, our Declaration of Independence effectively set a proud but humble. tone which our people have generally carried forward to this day--and can carry on for many more generations, if we don't forget the lessons. Bear Leaves Painted Trail MARYVILLE, Tenn.

(AP). The culprit who spilled paint in the garage at the rural home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy White was easily identified. White said there were bear paw prints on his house and in the yard.

The bear apparently wandered down into the lowlands from the nearby Great Smoky Mountains.

The dollar, weakened by the sterling crisis, continued to trail the pound downward and opened in Frankfurt at 3.15 marks. This was a slight rally over Monday night's close of 3.1497, but only intervention by the the central bank shored it up then.

(AP Wirephoto Map) Claimed In Ireland BELFAST (AP) The British army prevented Protestant militants from barricading one of their Belfast strongholds Monday night, but the Protestants claimed a "great victory." After a four-hour confrontation between 8,000 masked men of the Ulster Defense Association and 600 armed troops, the UDA-the Protestants' answer to the Roman Catholics' Irish Republican Army--abandoned their plans to throw a steel barricade across Ainsworth Avenue in West Belfast. But the army agreed to set up checkpoints on the avenue and search anyone entering the district for weapons. And it said the army--not the policewould maintain law and order in the area, assisted by unarmed UDA patrols. "NO MEMBERS of the police will be allowed in," said a UDA leader. "We feel that if the Queen's Writ does not run in the Creggan and Bogside, then it will not run He was referring to the IRA's strongholds in Londonderry, the barricaded "no-go" districts which in effect are autonomous IRA-Catholic areas from which the army and the police are barred.

It was to protest this area known as Free Derry that the UDA began throwing up barricades during the weekend to create no-go districts of their own. The army made no objections when the UDA barricaded off three other areas earlier Monday. But it took a stand in Ainsworth Avenue, it said, because the barrier would cut off about 20 Catholic families. "The area will not become a no-go area," said British army headquarters. "The security forces remain responsible for law and MEANWHILE, A usually reliable source reported that Gusty Spence, a Protestant extremist leader who disappeared Sunday, had escaped to Montreal.

Spence, 39, had been serving a life sentence since 1966 for killing a Catholic. A group of armed men grabbed him Sunday as he was being driven back to prison after a two-day parole for his daughter's wedding. The Protestants charged that the IRA had kidnaped him and threatened to invade Catholic districts and rescue him. IRA sources said the Protestants had faked a kidnaping to free him. And the source said Spence took a flight to Prestwick, Scotland, boarded a plane for Canada, and was in Montreal by Monday night.

Police reported another body found, the eighth after a weekend of assassinations. The police said the victim was a Catholic who had been shot in the back. He was the 399th recorded victim of the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. 8 WINDS UPROOT TREE- -A pine tree rests on top of the home of The main part of the tree limb ended up resting in a kitchen cabiJohn O.

"But you lose that anyway at the racetrack, don't you?" the 75-year old retired machinist added. The Baltimore resident was one of 46 passengers aboard a chartered bus hijacked Monday on its way from here to Delaware Park Race Track at Stanton, Del. As the robbers worked their way through the bus ordering passengers to surrender their money, Valdiva slipped $4 into his left pocket nearest the aisle. "I kept my wallet with $70 in it in my right pocket and laid a newspaper on my right leg," Valdiva said. "The man with the sawed off shotgun didn't order everybody to empty his they were too busy for that." The robbers commandeered the bus and forced its driver to circle the city for about 30 minutes while they methodically robbed the driver and 43 of the passengers.

Two other passengers beside Valdiva were not robbed, police said. One had pleaded, "I've only got $18," and the robber let him keep it. Thomas Manning, manager of the Baltimore Coach said the gunmen boarded the bus at the downtown civic center about 11 a.m. and pulled guns on the driver as the bus neared the Baltimore Beltway, north of the city. He said the robbers forced the driver George M.

Dotson to circle the city while they went from passenger to passenger. They also took Dotson's watch. No one was injured. Dotson said the men, one of whom was armed with a derringer-type pistol, ordered him to stop the bus when it reached the intersection with U.S. 95 at Halethorpe, 10 miles south of here.

The robbers disembarked and scurried up an embankment, the driver said. Trooper George N. Zumbrun of the Maryland State police described the 41 men and 5 women as "calm but angry." The victims reported losing amounts ranging from $2 to $620, Zumbrun said. The robbers made off with a total of 413, the victims said. Authorities said they assumed the pair had a getaway car waiting.

Demo Delegate Battles From Page 1 among all who ran in that state. In ruling on the California challenge, Judge Hart commented, "It might not be cricket; it might even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutiona1?" His answer was that there was no clear constitutional principle involved. Humphrey welcomed Hart's ruling and said the convention floor "is the proper place" to resolve the dispute. He predicted that "a safe margin" will uphold the committee vote at the Miami Beach convention next week. If the ruling is sustained, he said, would have a good chance to get the nomination." BUT IT WAS McGovern who was about to get the endorsement of labor leader Jerry Wurf, president of the 600-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes.

Wurf had endorsed Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine early in the campaign, but was preparing to withdraw that today and throw his support to McGovern. Fischer Flies said Fischer appeared calm during the flight of 4 hours and 40 minutes from New York but slept for only a few minutes at a time. Another passenger on the flight, Benjamin Rauschkolb of Long Beach, N.Y., angrily reported that his wife was told at the last minute she couldn't board the plane and he learned later she was bumped to make room for Fischer.

"He's causing an awful lot of trouble, isn't he said Rauschkolb.

The top leaders, South Korean President Chung Hee Park and North Korean Premier and Communist party chief Kim Il Sung participated in the talks in their respective capitals, the announcement said. It was the first such contact reported between North and South Korea since before the 1950-53 Korean War that took 2 million lives, including 54,246 Americans fighting for the South.

The three- year conflict ended in an armistice July 28, 1953, and the two Koreas are still officially at war, with even mail exchange cut off. Korea, a Japanese colony from 1910 through World War II, was divided into U.S. and Soviet occupation zones after the defeat of Japan. The zones became separate republics in 1948. The South Korean negotiator in the talks was Lee Hu-rak, director of the central intelligence agency.

In Pyongyang, he met with Kim Young-joo, director of the North Korean government's organization and guidance department and younger brother of Premier Kim. North Korea's second deputy premier Park Sungchul, came to Seoul for the talks here. Lee and Kim Young-joo are to be co-chairmen of the new "South- North Coordinating Committee" that will start negotiations for peaceful unification and promote exchanges in various fields. The date of its first meeting was not announced. Lee told newsmen: "This is only the beginning now enter confrontation with dialogue.

In the past we had confrontation without He said Seoul proposed the talks after concluding that North Korea was set for a military invasion. The United States and Japan issued statements saying Seoul had informed them of the developments and they approved of them. State Department press officer Charles W.

Humphrey was at his lakeside retreat in Waverly, and McGovern was at his farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Wallace, looking forward to checking out of Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, on Friday, had a four-hour outing Monday afternoon. He and his wife, Cornelia, were driven to the Bethesda, Md. home of Dr. Joseph Schanno, one of his physicians, for dinner.
