The Press Democrat from Santa Rosa, California • 12

12-Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, California, Tuesday, January 9, 1973 Nixon Freezes Federal Housing Subsidy Grants (Continued from Page 1) which are necessary to meet statutory or other specific program commitments will be approved in the coming months," he said. Romney said only subsidized housing and programs will be affected. These will include those programs providing interest subsidies and rent supplements for low cost housing authorized in sections 235 and 236 of the national housing acts. Though Romney did not confirm it, earlier speculation was that the freeze could last 18 months. In both housing and redevelopment, a moratorium of that length will not affect Santa Rosa, according to Urban Renewal Director James Burns.

He said both the Lamplighter Inn and Salvation Army senior citizens complexes, both subsidized, already have federal commitments to them. The next planned government-aided housing, in South Park, isn't planned to get under way until after the rumored 18 month halt expires, Burns said. He also said the government is firmly committed to urban renewal funds, for this year and to, and I think we're going to next, that will complete the downtown redevelopment pro- In New York, Civil rights acject. tivist Roy Wilkins warned Mon, "We need a realignment of day of a crisis possible "national dis- in federal, state, local and private aster of proportions" responsibility in meeting goals and our housing administration and for blamed the the crisis.

"Boredom is more likely to cause health and emotional problems." "And," he added, "You never get bored in the presidency." The President philosophized about growing old in an interview Monday in his hideaway office in the Executive Office Building next door to the White House. Under pre-set ground rules, the conversation was restricted to the subject of his birthday.

SECRET WITNESS Investigation Team Grows (Continued from Page 1) hitchhike to her classes at Santa Rosa Junior College. She was described as five feet five inches, 120 pounds, slender build, brown eyes, and shoulder-length straight black hair, and was wearing a brown sweater, blue jeans and sandals.

Information on the girls may be sent to the Secret Witness program according to the instructions on the sample letter accompanying this article. Donations to the reward fund may also be sent to Secret Witness Fund, Box 569, Santa Rosa, 95402. Sheriff's detectives were sent to Sacramento last week to interview an individual in connection with Kim Allen's death, but officials said the information uncovered was negative in that it eliminated a rumor they were checking. One Person Discussing the cases of the four girls, whose bodies or remains have been found, sheriff's officers speculated on the possi-, bility a single person could be responsible for all four deaths. Sheriff Don Striepeke last week said it may be significant that all four girls were found along narrow roads in remote areas of the county, where there was only a narrow shoulder and no wide turn-out for traffic to stop.

The implication was that whoever threw the girls' bodies off the embankments apparently chose spots where cars would not be expected to stop because of being too close to traffic on the road. New Orleans Fears 2nd Sniper Escaped (Continued from Page 1) the lobby and searched until they got to the top. When they finished, they switched jobs and started again. The five-hour search turned up nothing. "The search has been completed," police information deputy Ben Bourgeois said.

"The search was very, very intensive. No one was found." Giarrusso remained certain more than one sniper was involved. "I believe there were two or possibly more snipers," he said. "We have killed one of them. I believe at present, evidence gathered, that there is another sniper." But patrolman David Huber said "I think there was only one sniper.

There can't be anyone in there. There is no way he could have gotten off the roof." Police declined to identify the dead man until they get an FBI report on his fingerprints. On Monday police still were reporting the second man was firing back at them. When a helicopter fired at the rooftop Monday morning, Sgt. Frederick "Silky" O'Sullivan reported a second sniper returned the fire.

"He popped at us and we popped back," O'Sullivan said. 3rd Street BUY NOW ON LAYAWAY OR OPTIONAL CHARGE -UPI Facsimile LAIRD (R) BEFORE HIS LAST REPORT Rep. F.

Called before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1970 to account for the abortive rescue effort behind enemy lines by helicopter-borne commandoes on a prisoner of war camp in North Vietnam, Laird maintained that "only a camera that can see through rooftops," would have spotted the absence of POWs-or anyone else-there. The senators finally gave up trying to get Laird to admit an intelligence failure. Monday, Laird went to Capitol Hill for his swan song before his old cronies on the House Armed Services Committee. He will be leaving the Pentagon Jan. 20 for private -some believe to make a race for the Senate from Wisconsin.

Just after noon, the questioning came round to Rep. Robert Leggett, D-Calif. He said Laird had Democrats done a fine could job- something never arranging for the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty with the Soviet Union. But then, Leggett-seated on the corner seat in the upper row of the two-tiered committee -told Laird: "Overall, I would rate you as a minus." He said Vietnam was a "bum war" and "we don't really know where we're Furthermore, said Leggett, Laird was in effect claiming that a 2 per cent loss rate for B52s was good because the Pentagon had expected a 5 per cent loss rate. "If you say that, I say you're still idiotic." Laird sat with his hands folded like a schoolboy on the table before him.

"I'm deeply hurt," he said. will only say I regret one death, one casualty. But when I took office, casualties were running to 300 a week. I will not be satisfied until they are zero." Reacting to additional charges of poor shipyard management by Leggett, Laird today set in motion investigations of at least two west coast shipyards. Leggett specifically criticized the management of shipyards building navy vessels.

There are further similarities in that all four girls were apparently nude when their bodies were thrown down the steep banks, that three of them were around 13 years of age, and that all four of them may have been hitchhiking when they disappeared. Since the cases have received wide coverage in the news media, there has been a marked drop in the number of hitchhikpers seen along Sonoma County roads and almost a complete absence of young girl hitchhikers.

Officials said Kim Allen was last seen hitchhiking in San RaLori Lee Kursa was known to have hitchhiked many times before she disappeared Yvonne Weber and Maureen Sterling were reportedly looking for a ride to meet someone at Santa Rosa bowling alley the night they disappeared and may have been seen getting into vehicle on Guerneville Road and Jeannette Kamahele left home to hitchhike to Santa Rosa..
