All of this lies in closely with efforts of the Nixon administration to repair the shambles left by the U.S. Senate vote killing the American foreign aid program.

WASHINGTON for as long as he has lived, has! been subject to many gravity, the earth's magnetic field, cosmic rays from space far beyond the world, radiations from the earth's depths, and the never ending beat of light and charged particles from the I sun. There also have been the effects on earthly life of the tidal tug of the moon and the many aspects of weather, from gentle rain to violent storms breeding everything from lightning discharges and tornadoes to the great winds and ocean surges of the hurricane. Many of these effects are harsh, horrible, and obvious. Many others are too subtle for human senses to perceive.

They nevertheless have had their part in shaping the evolution of all living beings and such well being or misery as they have experienced. To these subtle influences man himself has contributed in we consume preserved foods which, though they may not be demonstrably poisonous, may traces chemicals The earth's magnetic field changes in strength from time time and over periods of known to reverse itself.

(AP) Grave robbers seeking salable Indian artifacts and bones have been desecrating a 19th century burial ground above the Snake River on the Washington-Idaho border, anthropologists from both states say. "This site was raped by a white with no social conscience," said Dr. Roderick Sprague, University of Idaho anthropologist working with Washington' State University scholars to discover something of the life, death, and styles of Indians in the 1800s. About 38 graves have been disturbed in what Sprague called a "flat out example of grave robbing." The Indians in the graves were believed to be part of those who followed Nez Perce Indian Chief Joseph in his flight from the U.S. Cavalry in the bloody Nez Perce War of 1877.

"They don't let our Indians rest in peace whether they are dead or alive," said Nez Perce Tribal Chairman Richard Halfmoon. "It makes me mad to just be around the place and to see the way things are." Mike Rodefer, a WSU graduate student directing a crew of eight Nez Perce in relocating the graves, said whoever made the excavations was "awfully good." Rodefer said his crew was working to relocate the graves which were possibly endangered by the filling of the reservoir behind Lower Granite Dam after the structure's scheduled 1974 completion. Each of the desecrated graves had been carefully located by pushing a rod into the soil until it touched a coffin, Rodefer said. After being dug up, he said, most of the handmade coffins were smashed open and the jewelry and bones were removed. In many cases the skulls also were removed.
