A composite sketch of the suspect was being distributed by detectives. Lt. Robert Krueger, Skokie chief of detectives, said the man, between 17 and 21 years of age and wearing a beige topcoat, was seen in a nearby coffee shop shortly before and after the blast. Leaves Cafe after Blast Krueger said the waitress said the man ordered a cup of coffee and as soon as he heard the blast he got up and left as tho nothing had happened.

The suspect was described as 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 110 pounds. He drove away in a black 1964 automobile. Krueger said the description resembles that of a man seen running from the Nelson Chevrolet agency, 1002 Diversey last Oct. 20 when a bomb did $3,000 damage there.

Tell Reds9 warm spell had continued, melting snow at the yards could have caused flooding. But the weather bureau said yesterday that the recent thaw has ended.

Temperatures will not get out of the lower 20s today and even colder weather is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. When a railroad sends snow south, it simply loads it into an empty gondola car, sends it to a southern freight yard, and lets the sun do its work. When the snow has turned to water, the car is drained and is ready for use again. Most cars used for snow haul ing are scheduled to be sent to southern yards anyway, officials said. The Burlington Route this week sent 200 carloads of snow to Herrin Junction in far southern Illinois.

Snow to Mississippi The Illinois Central, which serve many southern states, sent snow to Macomb, and Memphis. The Rock Island sent 70 cars of snow to Forth Worth, where residents looked upon it as something new and different. Not all railroads are participating. "Where would we take snow to New York City?" asked a spokesman for the New York Central. Other lines that serve northern states are also unable to take part in snow hauling.

The Santa Fe, which operates in the southwest, said it used weed burning equipment to melt snow here, rather than haul it to warmer regions. City officials obtained permission from the park district to dump snow in open areas in parks. Snow is also being dumped in the Chicago river and some vacant lots. The city tries to avoid dumping in Lake Michigan because the snow is dirty and could contribute to lake pollution. Snow has become one of Chicago's major exports these days.

Rolling south from railroad yards thruout the area are hundreds of freight cars loaded with some of the snow that made life so difficult in Chicago for the last two weeks. Railroads are sending the snow to warmer climes to melt. Simplest Procedure Railroad men say it is the simplest means of disposing of tons of snow cleared from tracks and loading docks at freight yards.

The question of what state had the honor of completing the roster of the 38 states three-fourths of the 50 required for ratification of the new amendment was in doubt for several hours.

Last night, North Dakota thought it was No. 37 when its House voted for ratification but the action was challenged on the ground its Senate had approved the amendment by voice vote, rather than by a roll calL Minnesota Acts Earlier Had the North Dakota action stood up, Minnesota would have been No. 38, because its legislature voted for ratification an hour before Nevada's legislature took final action. Not counting North Dakota, seven states ratified the amendment in 1967, including Iowa, which acted Jan. 26.

Last year 13 states ratified, and 13 acted in 1965, beginning in July. They included Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. Illinois has not acted on the amendment. Sen. Birch Bayh Ind.J, author of the congressional resolution which sent the 25th amendment on its way, held a press conference shortly after ratification and listed Nevada as the 38th state to ratify.

Provisions of Amendment Bayh hailed today's action as a occasion" which closed a constitutional gap which has existed since the Constitution was ratified by the 13 original states nearly two centuries ago.

BY JOHN O'BRIEN Picture on back page) More than 60 firemen, soldiers, and sailors rolled up their sleeves in County hospital yesterday to give blood for Robin Dean, 5, the victim of severe burns. Meanwhile, doctors in the hospital's Sumner L. Koch burn unit said her condition continues to remain critical, altho she is more aware of her surroundings now and is "holding her own." Stove Ignites Dress Robin, one of four children Use of Truce for Buildup SAIGON, Viet Nam, Feb. 10 (iP) North Viet Nam is funnel-ing supplies south during the lunar new year truce at a rate five times greater than normal levels, United States officials said today.

There was a hint this buildup may lead to a resumption of the bombing of the north before the four-day cease-fire expires at 7 a. m. Sunday 5 p. m. Saturday, Chicago time.

"The volume, scope and direction of the communist shipments create hazards for our military which we cannot afford to overlook," an American source said. Shooting Outbreaks Persist As to the prospect of keeping allied offensive operations halted until next Wednesday to match the seven-day cease-fire proposed by the Viet Cong, American quarters said it appeared unlikely. A Reuters dispatch said a South Vietnamese military spokesman confirmed that government troops will resume offensive operations at 5 p. m. today Chicago time, which marks the end of the truce.

The Viet Cong have confirmed that they will observe a further three-day truce but have ordered their troops to fight if South Viet Nam launches operations during this period. While reports flowed in from reconnaissance pilots, checking on communist land and sea traffic north of the shooting outbreaks persisted in the south. United States military spokesmen said they had recorded more than 220 incidents with 59 of them classified as significant, meaning one or both sides suffered casualties. vS 4iv C'- 2UMHM Gainesville, Feb. 10 HT University of Florida co-ed Pamela Brewer, 18, was found guilty of "indiscreet and inappropriate conduct" tonight for posing naked for an off-campus magazine.

tHistu tLaw. tChicaoo Tribune Press Service Washington, Feb. 10 The Pentagon today announced restrictions on burials in Arlington National cemetery and barred nearly all veterans who have not been career military persons. Beginning next week, eligibility will be restricted to retired or active career service people, medal of honor winners, high government officials, and their dependents. The restrictions on the a i n's most famous cemetery were ordered because burials have reached a rate of more than 7,000 a year, and only 6,437 unused grave sites remain, officials said.

Under the restrictions, remaining land will last for three years. By then, the army will have incorporated in the cemetery the adjacent grounds of the south post of Fort Myer, creating 60,000 new grave sites.
