6 The Sioux City Journal. Wednesday. April 1 9, 1 995 haae leads followiimg TV stow Several people saw the couple alive after their disappearance. A couple reported to be in the back seat of Archambeau's car-that night denied being there, but failed polygraph tests. Other clues include a tuft of Bruguier's hair found by the side of the road when her body was found and two house keys and a vehicle key found in Archambeau's pocket.

Two men were seen in a sport-utility vehicle near the crash site shortly before Bruguier's body was found. "I got a phone call from North Dakota this morning (Monday) and it may shed some light on that," Youngstrom said. something to look forward to to talk to some people and see what we can come up with," Simmons said. "We got a couple of calls that don't have any ties down here. One guy worked in this area and apparently saw one of them.

He's supposed to come in this week." The show re-created the Dec. 12, 1992, crash in which Archambeau's car left a road and rolled in a frozen ditch east of Lake Andes. Bruguier's cousin, Tracy Dion, was with the couple in the car. She explained on the show how Bruguier and Archambeau were gone by the time she got out of the overturned car. Police, relatives and volunteers searched the ditch and found no sign of the couple.

Then on March 10, 1993, a passerby found Bruguier's body in four feet of water near the accident site. Archambeau's body was found nearby the next day after authorities drained the ditch. "I know they weren't in that ditch (after the crash) and then showed back up," Simmons said. The couple died of exposure, but probably not in the ditch, authorities determined. Bruguier's body was more decomposed than Archambeau's, suggesting she died first.

Youngstrom and Bureau of Indian Affairs Police Capt. Dennis Simmons flew to California to answer calls after the show. Simmons is involved because both Archambeau and Bruguier were members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe. Youngstrom said several new leads appear significant. "Until I follow up, I'm not going to be able to determine that for sure.

But in my mind, yes. I'm excited about getting started and following up," Youngstrom said. The television show could help develop new information in several areas where authorities were stumped, Simmons said. "It was at a standstill and now we've got SIOUX FALLS (AP) Authorities are following several leads after a Lake Andes couple's mysterious deaths were featured on the television program "Unsolved Mysteries." Officials got 25 to 30 calls after NBC aired the program Friday night. The show featured a segment on the deaths of Arnold Archambeau, 20, and Ruby Ann Bruguier, 19.

The couple disappeared after a one-car accident in December 1992. Three months later, authorities found their bodies near the scene of the crash, but officials think they died elsewhere.

Judge forbids morning school devotionals JACKSON, Miss.

(AP) A public school must stop holding morning devotionals because the practice is unconstitutional and "segregates students along religious lines," a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Neal Big-gers Jr. sided with Lisa Herdahl, a mother of six who sued last December, claiming that five of her children were ridiculed at school for not taking part in the prayers. Biggers issued a preliminary injunction stopping the prayers.

In the second day or a conterence Ltuna, too, was noncommittal on to renew the Nuclear Non-Prolifera the extension question. Foreign He set a March 4 trial date on Plock "said. "Simply put, we think it is time to shift the decision-making from Washington to the farm." Farmers enroll for farm programs with a base acreage for certain crops. The amount of certain crops a farmer can grow is limited by a formula determined by the government. The formula is based on five-year averages of what's planted in the past.

Farmers enroll for federal planting programs with a corn base, milo base, wheat base or other specific grain base. Those testifying Tuesday want the 1995 Farm Bill to allow farmers to use a whole-farm base or normal-crop acres plan. In this plan, farmers would be able to combine acreage limits to plant any grain they want. "This approach would give farmers the flexibility they need to take full advantage of market opportunities," Plock said. i Though the Republican-controlled Congress has stressed cutting spending and balancing the budget, some who testified Tuesday stressed that farmers had done their share in shouldering their share of spending cuts.

I Lawmakers told farmers need to make decisions GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) -Farmers need more flexibility to determine how much of different types of grains they can plant, farmers and others testified Tuesday at a congressional field hearing on the 1995 Farm Bill. The hearing at College Park in Grand Island was the first of four field hearings planned by the House Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities. Reps. Tom Latham, R-Iowa, and Jon Christensen, R-Neb.

joined Rep. Bill Barrett, the subcommittee chairman, at the hearing. The country needs a farm bill "that gives farmers more flexibility on what crops to plant and how much," Barrett said in his opening remarks. Richard Plock, president of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, agreed. "If there has been a common theme throughout Nebraska and the country it is a need for flexibility," Herdahl's lawsuit.

The injunction bars broadcast of devotions or scriptures over tne school intercom system, and treaty's extension conditional!" the German foreign minister, Klaus Kinkel, told the conference. "For us the durability of the nuclear non-proliferation regime has absolute priority over all other considerations." Britain's foreign secretary, Douglas Hurd, offered the non-weapons states one small prize: an announcement that Britain had ceased production of nuclear bomb material. The United States did the same two years ago, after Cold War tensions and nuclear buildups eased off. Britain is believed to have last produced such fissile material for its small arsenal some time ago. The Clinton administration says that at this point it counts a rough majority of nations in favor of indefinite extension.

Meeting with reporters Tuesday, the chief U.S. arms control official, John Holum, said Washington is listening to Third World demands for endorsement of new goals in arms control. "We've been thinking as a government about the kinds of language that might be useful" in the conference's final declaration, he said. "We should hear what others propose, and be receptive." But the U.S. delegation is expected to work hard to keep the extension decision from being formally linked to the goals of the final declaration.

Leading U.S. arms control advocates, grouped as the Campaign for the Non-Proliferation Treaty, issued a statement Tuesday calling for new commitments to deep reductions in nuclear arms and related steps. student-led devotionals during school hours. He said students may gather in the gym before class for daily devotional services. tion Treaty, Nigeria's foreign minister, Tom Ikimi, staked out the position of Third World hard-liners.

"The way forward," he said, "is td extend the treaty for a fixed 1 period" and not indefinitely, as sought by the United States. Many states without nuclear weapons want only limited, periodic extensions of the treaty, renewals made contingent on progress toward general nuclear disarmament. Ikimi called for "a program of action to achieve a nuclear-free world in the 21st century." But the Clinton administration Tuesday seemed to win some I softening in the attitude of another key Third World nation Mexico toward the U.S. proposal for an indefinite and unconditional extension of the treaty. Mexico's dependence on U.S.

aid through its current fiscal crisis has put it in an awkward diplomatic position. Addressing the conference after meeting privately with Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Mexico's foreign minister, Jose Angel Gurria, expressed "understanding" for the concern of some about limiting the treaty. Although he said treaty extension should not be "an end in itself and called for concrete steps on arms control, such as completion of a nuclear test-ban treaty, Gurria did not Minister Qian Qichen called for a "smooth extension" of the pact. The Non-Proliferation Treaty, signed by 178 nations, is the cornerstone of global arms control. When it took force in 1970, it had only a 25-year guaranteed run, after which, in 1995, the member states were to decide whether to extend it indefinitely, or for a fixed period or periods.

The treaty recognizes five nuclear weapons states the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China and commits all signatories to prevent the spread of atomic arms elsewhere. At the same time, it obliges the five to work toward elimination of nuclear arms. It's that side of the bargain that many Third Worlders complain is not being met. "An indefinite extension would mean the permanent legitimization of nuclear weapons," said Ambassador Izhar Ibrahim of Indonesia, a leader of the Third World group. "The five privileged powers will be permitted to keep their nuclear arsenals while others are barred forever from acquiring them." The nuclear powers and their "northern" allies are digging in against attempts to prescribe disarmament timetables or other specific conditions for periodic renewal of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
