Arrest second man in Kronholm kidnapping THE EVENING NEWS, "CM 1 Bla8t damage set as high as $200,000 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) Authorities have 'arrested a second man in connection with the kidnaping of a banker's wife and have recovered a)l but $100 of the $200,000 ransom paid. The FBI identified the second man as Frederick, Henry Helberg, 43, a South St. Paul weldeV and carpenter. They arrested him Thursday in Minneapolis.

Authorities said Helberg would be arraigned today before U.S. Magistrate J. Earl Cudd on charges of violating the Hobbs Act, which involves extortion. 'Helberg was arrested for the abduction of Eunice Kronholm, 46, Lino Lakes. Her husband, Gunnar, had paid $200,000 ransom.

He is president of the Drovers State Bank of South St. Paul. James William Johnson, 35, Lakeville. was arrested Monday and was charged with violation of the Hobbs Act. He was being held on $100,000 bail.

Mrs. Kronholm was taken from her home Last Friday morning. On Monday evening she talked one of her captors into releasing her after hearing on the radio that Johnson had been arrested. The FBI said another of the $200,000 ransom was recovered Thursday. The federal agency had announced Wednesday the recovery of $190,000.

It was found in the garage of the Burnsville, home where Mrs. Kronholm was held. The FBI said it was "continuing an extensive investigation to identify and apprehend any other individuals that may have been involved in the matter." SAULT STE. MARIfi, as high as $200,000 have been estimated as a. result of the explosion here Tuesday, which sent four men to the hospital, destroyed New precinct for city For the fourth time in the past 20 years the city clerk has altered the boundaries of voting precincts in Sault Ste.

Marie. City Clerk Dana Strickland has announced the addition of an eighth precinct within the city. The change comes as the result of a series of state court rulings in 1972, which said that the names of cancelled voters dating back three years must be added back on the active list. Prior to that time, files were purged of "deadwood" every December. When the city clerk added these names to the file the size of the districts swelled in size.

This is what necessitated the realignment, he said. Strickland found that some city precincts were only six names below the prescribed level of 1400 voters arid, therefore, he made new boundaries. All districts have been redefined with the exception of precinct no. 6. "Anyone who has had their voting precinct changed will be mailed a new registration card telling them where they will vote and what precinct they are in," stated Mr.

Strickland. The last time the city's precincts were realigned was in 1972 when the number was cut from nine to seven. Obituary Nixon popularity reaches low in two national polls a dupiex under construction, and extensively damaged three other homes. Ontario fire marshal's HI- vestigator Norm Sweet has reached no conclusions yet to what caused the explosion, though. A second investigator from Toronto, Harry Jordan, joined him and local officials yesterday in their study of the evidence and wreckage.

Sweet said the $200,000 damage estimate was only a preliminary figure and might be changed before the investigation ends. Local interviews are expected to wrap up today. Meanwhile, Thomas Turcotte, 34, and Mauri Patteri, 56, workers on the building at the time of the explosion, are recovering from shock. They remain in the intensive care unit at General Hospital in serious condition with extensive burns. A father and son from Richards' Landing, Jeffrey Lee, 40, and John, 17, also working at the site, are in Plummer Memorial Hospital.

Only 25 per cent of those surveyed in a Gallup poll approved of the way he's doing his job, and only 26 per cent in a Louis Harris survey approved of the President's performance. A Harris poll in February gave Nixon a 29 per cent positive rating and a February Gallup survey found 27 per cent in approval. The Harris poll showed 71 per cent gave Nixon a negative rating, while only 47 per cent said that he should resign. Fortyfour per cent were opposed to his resignation, with 9 per cent undecided. The Gallup poll showed 64 per cent disapproved of Nixon's performance.

Harris said the percentage favoring Nixon's resignation has hot varied greatly in more than three months. "It is apparent that the public would prefer to wait for the results of the impeachment proceedings now under way before the House Judiciary Committee rather than have the President voluntarily resign from office," he said. The pollster said that Watergate-related indictments against former White House aides contributed to the plunge in Nixon's popularity.

STE. MAKIE. FRIDAY. MARCH 22,1971 Senate nears passage of budget reform bill WASHINGTON (AP) Senate is nearing passage far-reaching budget reform bill revising drastically the way Congress deals with federal spending.

Sponsors contend it would enable Congress for the first time in the modern era of muldbillion dollar budgets to ac4 intelligently on annual budgets -and to put some controls on spending. tives contend the measure is too weak to be effective. But, in four days of debate, they have lost consistently in efforts to toughen it. Both sides agree that the bill, scheduled to be voted on today, will be passed overwhelmingly. The bill would create a new Senate Budget Committee and a Congressional Office of the Budget to give Congress far more information than it now has on spending programs and tax revenues.

But the heart of the measure would set up hew procedures under which Congress, in effect, would adopt its own budget each year in place of Die one submitted by the President. The bill would change the government's fiscal year to begin Oct. 1 instead of July to give Congress three additional months to make the new process work. Building area swept by fire JACKSON, Mich. A Volunteers of America warehouse in Jackson and a trailer sales and machine shop complex in nearby Spring Arbor Township were swept by fire Thursday night.
