The first stop is Waterloo April 25 26.

Johnson and Gen. Joseph G. May, Commanding Officer of the Iowa National Guard, who will represent the Governor's office, will be among dignitaries at the dedication ceremony. Waterloo Mayor Lloyd L. Turner will officially welcome the out of town guests to the city.

Area cities to be visited by the red, white and blue mobile van include: Newton, June Ames, June 7 Fort Dodge, June 11 12, and Marshalltown 13,14. Gillam said the mobile unit will try to "take the VA to the veteran." Goals are to reach veterans and their families who have not made full use of their benefits. VA counselors will provide immediate information on health, education, housing and job training benefits, will extend individual counseling to veterans without high school educations, and will work closely with other federal and local government agencies to offer the full range of benefits at all levels. force, fired two shots, one of which hit Bunyard in the chest and the other went through both his arms. The Thompsons were unharmed.

Bunyard was charged with murder, kidnap, armed robbery and other felonies. He underwent surgery at Merced General Hospital, where he was reported in good condition. Bunyard's capture ended a wild flight that began Friday at Lake Tahoe on the' CaliforniaNevada border, zigzagged Saturday through San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and the Oakland hills, and ended 100 miles to the southeast in the Sierra foothills. Authorities said Bunyard's description matched that of a man sought for a half dozen MERCED, Calif. (UPI) Two days of murder and kidnap across 500 miles of Northern California ended Sunday when a fugitive accused of rape was shot and captured by lawmen in the Sierra foothills.

Authorities said John P. Bunyard, 28, the suspected "Nob Hill rapist" of San Francisco, killed two women and kidnaped at least 10 persons during his bizarre flight that started Friday noon at Lake Tahoe. Bunyard was taken into custody after a police sergeant fired two quick shots at the already wounded suspect in a deadend alley after a frantic husband jumped Bunyard as he held a gun to his wife's head. In the pre dawn hours in nearby Mariposa, authorities said Bunyard fatally shot Nancy L. Chalburg, 55, manager of the Tenaya Motel, and Helen Cramer, 65, a resident of the nearby Fremont Motel.

Both Women Shot Mariposa County Sheriff Norman Garrett said both women were shot in the forehead when they ap parently refused to give the suspect their car keys or accompany him on his flight. Sheriff's deputies, responding to a prowler call, exchanged gunfire with the suspect in the downtown section of Mariposa, the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Bunyard was wounded in the leg and fled on foot, then commandeered a car that was demolished in a high speed chase. Authorities said Bunyard again fled on foot and broke into a motel room where he took as hostage Mr. and Mrs.

Calvin Thompson, both 48, of Huntington Beach, Calif. He forced the couple to drive him 40 miles to Merced. Sheriff's deputies, police and the California Highway Patrol, alerted that the suspect was headed toward Merced, set up roadblocks and cornered him in a deadend street. "The man took Mrs. Thompson from the car at gunpoint, threatening to kill her and the officers who had boxed him in.

But Thompson jumped from the car and knocked him off balance," said Police Capt. Dave Knutsen. Two Shots Fired Sgt.

"We want the paras in because they mean safety," an organizer said. 'This is the first time in four years that we' have been able to go to our beds without fear."

If a retired quarterback JIMS (SmNDRD) School lunches may be increased DES MOINES (UPI) The director of food services of the state Department of Public Instruction today said the price of school lunches in Iowa may have to be increased slightly next, year. Vein Carpenter said the increase, brought on by rising food costs and food service expenses, would be around five cents a lunch if put into effect. That would raise the average price of a school lunch from 45 to 50 cents, he said. Carpenter said he hopes to avoid raising the lunch price and said the DPI is asking Congress to increase its reimbursement to school lunch programs next year.

At present, the federal government is reimbursing Iowa schools about two cents per lunch because of a shortage on government commodities. The food services director said from past experience he knows that participation drops when lunch prices are increased, but added that the school lunch is "still the best buy in the land." "Where else can you but a nutrious, well balanced lunch that costs 65 cents to prepare for 45 he asked. Carpenter said studies by his department indicate that not only has the price of meat risen in the past few months, but the cost of all other foods that schools buy also has gone up. iromjvit. Vernon, can learn to fly, BELFAST (UPI) The army launched a manhunt today for David O'Connell, the commander of the militant Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), after he made a surprise appearance at an Easter rally honoring IRA dead.

O'Connell was spotted by troops at a Belfast cemetery Sunday, but they did not try to arrest him because of what the army called a possibility of violence. He is listed as one of the most wanted men in Northern Ireland. O'Connell made his appearance as thousands of persons joined in marches and ceremonies in both Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic commemorating the 1916 Easter rebellion against British rule. Roman Catholic spokesmen said 35 marches took place in Northern Ireland. In violence Sunday, bomb blasts destroyed a furniture store and a bar in Londonderry, but there were no injuries.

Troops fired rubber bullets at youths in Londonderry who heaved stones at an army post after a march by the Sinn Fein, the political arm of the "Provos." O'Connell, who is wanted by police on both sides of the Irish border, said the IRA would continue its campaign against the British in Northern Ireland. "There should be no compromise on the fundamental question as to who should rule Ireland the British parliament or the Irish people," O'Connell said. "Let there be one message for Mr. Whitelaw (Northern Ireland Secretary of state): We reject your white paper and we will resist and defeat your terrorists," he said.
