Speaking at the club's regular Monday luncheon meeting at Shield's restaurant in Traverse City, the supervisor, David Weaver, said the big bay has the size, depth ranges, and other characteristics ideal for quality and quantity fish. Weaver also said he doubts enough boat launching sites and other access areas now exist on-the bay to handle the numbers of anglers already being directed to the waters by outdoor commentators in midwest cities as a result of good lake trout fishing this year and the coho and even Chinook (King) salmon potential. The fish supervisor added later that he "wouldn't be surprised if chinook salmon were to migrate from planting areas along Lake Michigan south of Traverse City to Grand Traverse Bay." Weaver explained that sample nettings have disclosed a tendency of the big Chinook (perhaps up to 50 pounds on Lake Michigan) to scatter from planting areas. The speaker said no trouble is anticipated through the mingling of salmon and trout in the bay, as spawning seasons differ.

Weaver said, too, the best coho fishing on Grand Traverse Bay can be expected to occur in September. done effectively and whether or not from a long-range public I relations viewpoint it was de- I sirable to do it.

(UPI) Police today investigated "striking similarities" between the murders of seven young women in Michigan and five in California who may have died on a cross-country killing spree by two men.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation searched for a husky, tattoed young man police said may have traveled to California with John Norman Collins, the 22-year-old Eastern Michigan University senior charged with slaying the latest Michigan victim, Karen Sue Beineman, 18. Police here and. in California said there were "striking similarities" including earrings missing, from many vic- tims that suggested the same i lice official said, but he doubted person or persons could have been responsible for the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti murders over the past two years, and the California deaths. While Collins remained in his Washtenaw County maximum security jail cell, the FBI and police searched for 6-foot-l-inch, 235-pound Andrew Manuel, 25, alias Richard Diaz, whose last known address was the rooming house Collins lived at in this university community. An Ann Arbor police official said he wants to question Manuel about a series of thefts.

The House gave final congressional approval Monday to a bill to keep the tax aimed at fighting inflation alive until the end of 1969 but almost immediately Rep. Charles A. Vanik, D-Ohio, launched a drive against Presi- 1 dent Nixon's request to continue I the levy for the first six months of 1970. Vanik and other House liber-j als were unsuccessful in an earlier try to limit the life of the surtax when it passed the House June 30 with a full 12- month extension. The Senate however approved only a six- month addition for the tax and the House sent that version to Nixon Monday.

But the House Ways and Means Committee, in approving a massive tax reform bill that will go to the House Wednesday, voted to extend the surcharge for another six months into 1970 at a 5 per cent rate. That surtax- provision went into the reform bill. Vanik served notice he would ask the rules committee today to permit the reform measure to go to the House floor under a rule allowing at least two amendments. Ordinarily, tax bills go to the House floor.under mer Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford's timetable of 100,000.

An administration source said Nixon and-Gen. Earl G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have agreed the withdrawal of 50,000 more GIs is feasible now. Nixon will announce it later this month. On the basis of Wheeler's on- the-spot survey of the Vietnam militia and Nixon's own talks and observations during his round-the-world trip, they reportedly have set another target in the fall of 50,000 troops in the phased withdrawal.

Nixon announced an initial troop cut of 25,000 during the June 8 Midway summit meeting with President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam. The reductions already underway will bring the total troop commitment in South Vietnam to 515,000 by the end of August. The peak troop commitment, more than 540,000, was reached earlier this year, after the Nixon administration took office. Nixon a considering a broadcast to the nation from Los Angeles in late August on the next pullout of fighting men in his campaign to "Vietnam- ize" the war. Wheeler presented his evaluation of the war picture and continuing military lull to Nixon on July 22, a short time before the president embarked on his world tour.

Nixon said in-Guam he was reviewing the possibility of further troop withdrawals- and would make his position clear in late August. The de-escalation of enemy activity an evaluation of whether it is deliberate or not is under intensive study in the White House and the Pentagon.

Despite the general lull, there were a number of small scale clashes Monday in which 208 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were killed at a loss of one American killed and seven wounded. The fighting included a helicopter attack on a- supply- laden Communist bicycle and motor scooter convoy. One ranking U.S. officer said despite lull, "North Vietnamese goals remain unchanged and Hanoi now believes, these goals can now be fulfilled a low-keyed military effort!" for the present can, or less sit back and watch us go home." The military sources said a North Vietnamese lieutenant captured last week near Da Nang said he had been instructed to inform his troops that the war appeared to be won "because the Americans are going home." Truck traffic on the so-called Ho Chi Minn Trial leading into South Vietnam from Laos dropped from about 400 vehicles a week in February to only four a day last week, the lowest figures in two years, the sources reported.
