1. terpty BY INVITATION A NATIONAL SELECTED MORTICIANS Local Group Endorses Health Dept. Changes Officers and directors of the Montgomery County Association for Mentally Retarded Children and Adults endorsed Saturday proposed legislation which would alter some phases of the state mental health department. In a meeting of officials of region 3 of the state Mental Health Association, the 15 officers and directors of the local group voted unaminously to seek support for the legislation slated for votes in the Tennessee House and Senate this week. One of the proposals would modify the qualifications for the Commissioner of Mental Health so that he wouldn't have to be a psychiatrist.

The other proposal would modity the qualifications 1 for superintendents of mental institutions, deleting the requirement that they be medical doctors." "We feel this legislation would be a change for the better and are hopeful it will pass in the legislature," said Mrs. John Young, executive secretary of the local organization. Attending the meeting here Saturday was Tex Maddox, president of the state mental. health group and Gene Nabbi, TARCA executive director. Nabbi said he felt the two proposed changes would benefit the state mental health department.

He said the posts. involved were. administrative in nature and demanded these type people, rather than medically trained persons. "We believe these bills will enhance future programs for the mentally retarded and mentally ill in said Nabbi. He said he felt the public was changing its attitude toward mental retardation and was becoming cooperative in responding to the needs of retarded children and adults.

Other matters discussed in the meeting concerned education. iobs for the retarded and human rights. Michael Moore is president of the Clarksville association which is a member unit of the state and national association.

PHONE 648-2666 Peace Prospects (Continued Administration officials emphasize that up to now there is no solid information on which to base a dependable interpretation of recent surprising events. These, of course, focus on the invitation to American and other foreign table tennis teams to visit mainland China, the subsequent warm reception accorded them. The most that has been decided by analysts here on the basis of the few politically significant facts available is that this friendly gesture, particularly the invitation to a U.S.

team and some U.S. newsmen, seems to be part of a strategy of working for a Chinese Communist seat in the United Nations late this year. On this point the general judgment in officials quarters is that Premier Chou En-lai, who hailed the visit of the Americans as opening new "page in international relations, has executed a brilliant maneuver to remake China's global image. The cordiality of the visit obviously was intended to show China as a nation of people friendly to the Americans after more than 20 years of official hostility and vitriolic propaganda. But what this means in practical terms still is a mystery in Washington as apparently it is in other Western and, indeed, Com- Tickets Tossed NEW YORK (AP) A man entered a government building Saturday by flashing what appeared to be a Civil Service identification card, tied up the elderly watchman and threw about 2,000 traffic tickets out the window, police said.

The young intruder scattered thousands of other summonses about the floor of a traffic court office and fled. from Page 1) munist capitals. Until Chou or his associates are ready to explain why they have made such a radical turn the mystery is not likely to be cleared up. President Nixon's first response after the U.S. team was invited to Peking ten days ago, was to "play it cool" and offer further encouragement to the Chinese to improve relations but to avoid jumping to conclusions which might well be unjustified.

Thus he timed an announcement of new easing of U.S. trade and travel restraints in Red China relations to show an American appreciation for Peking's: action. But the White House said steps outlined in the announcement had been decided here well before the table tennis -spisode and had no connection with it. Telling all about the convention of student council representatives is Miss Becky Durisko, far right, secretary of the state group, and Jane McNabb of Cocke County -High School. County Judge W.

O. Beach, associate school director T. M. Oakley, and Clarksville Mayor Charles Crow listen. Zoning Heads (Continued from Page 1) Vann said the cost of the project would run about $450-.

$500 per year. He said the school system and the recreation department would be billed to meter billedseparatelyaccording demand charge. Any additional charges for school use of the electricity would also be included as part of the plan, he said. If the controversial school zoning plan comes up for school board discussion Monday, it will probably be included as part of the report of the board's general administration committee. Mrs.

Helen Griffin chairs that committee, and at the board's last meeting she unveiled the new zoning plan. Basically, the plan calls for transferring students out of their normal school zone to maintain a numerical balance in all schools within the system. Mrs. Griffin said last month this needed to avoid building new classrooms. She said a new.

zoning plan was needed because some schools had overloaded classrooms and other schools had low enrollments and were not using their facilities to the full potential. She said the choice either involved building new classrooms where the students were or taking "the students where the vacant classrooms were. "Equalizing the enrollments for all the schools is the cheapest way," she said. However when Mrs. Griffin's plan was introduced.

opposition from parents of students affected by the plan forced its return to committee for further study. Since then, some neigh- borhood groups have been involved in drawing up their own zoning plan for the board's consideration. 2 Arrested Under New Ordinance Two Montgomery County men Saturday were the first to be arrested in violation of the 10-day old city ordinance regulating the sale of printed material. Police identified the men as Lawrence Christian, 24, of 456 N. Second Street and Larry R.

Cox, 25, of 4756 E. Lee Village, Fort Campbell. They were arrested in front of the Montgomery Hotel by City Patrolmen Robet Riggins, Joe Young, and City Detecive Bill South. Christian gave his occupation as a press operator for the People's House, and Cox is a soldier stationed at Fort Campbell, police records show. The new ordinance passed City Council April 1, and was published April 8.

The ordinance makes it unlawful to interfere with the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic by offering any printed matter free or for sale unless autorized by city government officials. They were released on $12.75 bond pending court trial. Overpass (Continued from Page 1) In other action, the committee agreed to alter its assignment procedures for committee work to allow members to pick their own committees. A nominating committee was named to report a slate of nominees by May 25 for election of officers for the coming year. A proposal to unify the city and county road departments also was aired at the meeting, but no action was taken by the group on the plan.

A resolution commending local Boy Scout units for their work in cleaning up the community was passed unaminously. Also the scouts were commended for their work in improving Rotary Park. The Citizens Advisory Committee is an appointive group which functions to bring local citizens into local government planning. It is an integral element of the city of Clarksville's certification for a workable program of government projects, according to Crow.
