An official communique, released after three days of wide- ranging talks between French Premier Georges Pompidou and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, dealt with Viet Nam, the Common Market, East-West relations and a channel tunnel linking the two countries. On Viet Nam, the two leaders agreed that a settlement of the grave situation in Southeast Asia can only be reached through negotiations on the basis of the independence of Viet Nam and non-interference in its internal affairs in conformity with the 1954 Geneva accords.

"It's a big lake." ThPTP have been no signs of the missing women Patricia Bough. 19, Westchester, Ann Miller, 21, York Center, and Mrs. Renee Bruhl, 19, Chicago. They left their blanket and belongings with $60 on the beach and their car in the parking lot Saturday.

Indiana Toll Road Commission Chairman Jack E. Reich said that the commission has official knowledge of only about $1 million in such bogus bonds which the Federal Bureau of Investigation confiscated last March in New York.

"We have decided our legal position is that they-the banks- are responsible, just the same as if they cashed a forged chick," McMahan explained. However, Reich noted that the banks do not share this view, so each side has decided to em- ply additional legal counsel to determine liability. Reich said the commission is to be represented by Ice, Miller, Donadio and Ryan, and the banks by Barnes, Hickam, Pantzer and Boyd, both prominent Indianapolis law firms.
