Page 6-A delayed LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) The highest-ranking Mexican- American in the Nixon administration says he planned to announce the President's appointment of three Mexican-Americans to key federal positions, including Treasurer of the United States, but they were delayed in the White House. Philip V. Sanchez, director of operations for the Office of Economic Opportunity, said he expected to announce the appointments Friday night, including that of Mrs. Romana Banuelos of IMS Angeles as treasurer.

However, he said, "I have not received clearance from the White House. The thing about these clearances is they take a long time. We have to wail for the White House." Sanchez was to make the announcements to a meeting of the American Gl Forum, a group of R. I. (MAC) McARRON district District governor due for Rotary Club programs Rotary governor of District 579 R.

I. (Mac) McArron will speak for a Brownwood Rotary Club assembly beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Holiday Inn here. He will also be guest speaker at the noon regular meeting Wednesday. McArron lias spent his entire adult life in Breckenridge and has been a member of the Rotary Club there since 1930, serving as president during the 1938-39 year.

He is past president of the chamber of commerce and past president of Retail Merchants Assn. in Breckenridge. At present he is director of Breckenridge Industrial Foundation and is a vice president of Breckenridge First Federal Savings and Loan Assn. He has recently been named to the board of directors of Region XIV Educational Service Center. Mexican-American veterans.

Mrs. Banuelos is chairman of the Pan American Bank and president of a multimillion-dollar food products firm in Gardena, Calif. Sanchez said he also was to announce the President's appointment of Raymond Telles, El Paso, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Henry Rameriz, Fresno, to be chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Spanish-Speaking Opportunity. The announcements by Sanchez were to provide a political plus for the administration which has been criticized by the Mexican-American community. O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was the keynote speaker at the veterans' meeting here and he said Nixon has opposed giving enforcement powers to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"The only commission member who did support stronger powers was Vicente Ximenes and the President saw fit not to renew his appointment this year," O'Brien said. Sanchez told newsmen Ximenes' term had expired, adding "1 don't think it's a matter for anyone's speculation." Nixon recalls memories of second war AKRON, Ohio (AP) President Nixon, heading for Iowa to dedicate a multimillion dollar reservour complex Saturday, recalled "many pleasant memories" of the World War II days when he served as a young Navy lieutenant, junior grade, at a land-locked base in that state. Nixon first went to Ottumwa, Iowa, on his first assignment after completing, his officer's training at Quonset Point, R.I. He said he had asked for sea duty and they sent him to Iowa instead, where he noted, "there wasn't any water for miles except for a drinking fountain." Nixon was stationed at the Ottumwa Naval Air Station on the site of the airport where he was to land today. The base was used in World War II to train thousands of Navy pilots.

But Nixon said that the base was not even built when he was assigned there, it was just a "farmhouse in a cornfield," he said, recalling the intense cold and snow. While Nixon jerved in Iowa, his wife Pat worked in a bank there. Mrs. Nixon was not along on this trip for the dedication of Rathbun Dam and Reservoir near Centerville.

Administration weighing policy on troop reduction WASHINGTON (AP) American policy on a balanced East-West troop reduction in Central Europe is still being formulated, government officials say, and there is no sign of any hurry. Officials at the White House and the departments of State and Defense say the whole matter of a so-called mutual balanced force MB- being examined under normal procedures. The indicated target for establishing an initial MBFR position now is October when the North Atlantic Treaty Organization deputy foreign ministers meet. A complete proposal will be ready for the full-dress ministerial session toward year's end, they said.

The officials said there is no disagreement within the Nixon administration about the concept of troop cuts by both NATO and the Soviet-dominated Warsaw Pact, but that various approaches remain under consideration. A State Department expert said "we have been committed to this for some time and barring unforeseen developments we will propose some sort of reductions." He noted that the United States initiated the idea of trimming the military postures of the two opposing alliances some years back and when the Soviet Union indicated interest last spring planning was started. Specifically, he said, NATO ministers meeting at Lisbon in June decided to seek exploratory talks with the Warsaw Pact on a balanced reduction. A State Department source said MBFR has been "under- intensive study. The homework Draft-age men reminded board still classifying here Selective Service System Executive Secretary, Mrs.

Jean R. Ailey, who manages Local Board No. 15 for Brown and Comanche Counties, says the current Congressional impasse over extending the induction authority has created great uncertainty among area draft- age men. Mrs. Ailey said, "Selective Service Director Curtis Tarr has recently stressed the importance of explaining to our draft-age men the high probability that draft calls will resume in the near future and that the current impasse in the Congress is not likely to affect any registrant's chance of being drafted," "Our local board has been specifically instructed to continue to register and classify men, and to order for prein- duction physical examinations those young men who may be needed to fill draft calls in the coining months," Mrs.

Ailey continued. Men with lottery numbers through 125 were eligible for induction in June in order to fill draft calls. Since then, the Defense Department has asked Selective Service to draft 16,000 men in July-August. This request is being held by headquarters pending final Congressional action on the draft bill, which is expected within several weeks. "Those young men with relatively low lottery numbers who are eligible for induction this year, particularly those with numbers below current processing ceiling- have a very good chance of being processed for induction after draft calls are restored," Mrs.

Ailey said. "Many young men," said Mrs. Alley, "seem to think that the Selective Service Act has permanently expired and that they probably will never be drafted. Some of them also think that the entire system has stopped. They are wrong since it is only the induction authority that has expired.

They, therefore, may be unintentionally breaking the law by failing to register at age 18, by not keeping their local boards informed of their current address, or by failing to report, if ordered, for their preinduction physical examinations." Mrs. Ailey also stressed that local boards are continuing to consider hardship and student deferments and to take other classification actions, "Young men who had planned to submit requests for deferments pr exemptions are encouraged to do so," she said. "The piration of the induction authority does not affect our responsibility to classify young men," Mrs. Alley added. Mrs.

Ailey may be contacted at. the office of Jxical Boarcj No, 15, Hoom 003 Citizens National Bank priding in Brownwood. and analysis have been completed and we are at the brass tacks point of putting the whole thing together. We are on our way." A Pentagon official said much the same thing, indicating position papers have been sent to the White House outlining various alternatives but not reflecting any major policy disputes. The State Department official went on to say what President Nixon must still decide "is just how to play the approach," pointing to the strategic arms limitation talks as an example.

There is some maneuvering by advocates of a 5 per cent cut for both sides, against those who maintain 10 per cent reductions should be proposed as the initial force cut. What MBFR deals with in terms of men is a force of some 1.1 million NATO troops in Western Europe, including 300,000 Americans facing about 1.23 million Warsaw Pact troops. Nixon library project lags behind schedule By JAMES R. ROLK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The foundation set up to build a Richard M. Nixon presidential library is lagging behind schedule in picking a site, although Nixon's hometown of Whittier, is still the best bet.

"We just haven't been able to get that settled," said Leonard K. Firestone, president of the foundation organized by a group of multimillionaires and Nixon insiders. An August meeting planned at the Western White House in San Clemente to announce a site has been postponed until "sometime later this fall," Firestone said. Whittier's rivals are another Los Angeles suburb, Irvine, and the town of San Clemente. The library, which could cost $5 million or more, may be finished by 1976, but Firestone said neither a timetable nor a budget have been set yet.

The 25 trustees include Don- ala'M. Kendall, head of Pepsi- Cola; E. Ross Perot, computer multimillionaire from Dallas; Taft Schreiber of Music Corp. of America, and W. Clement Stone, Chicago insurance maganate who has been a heavy Nixon campaign donor.

Atty Gen. John N. Mitchell is on the executive board, 'along with Key White House aides Robert Finch, John Ehrlichman, H.R. Haldeman and Leonard Garment. Firestone said foundation members raise funds out of their pockets for operating costs.

No public fund-raising drive is expected until definite plans have been drawn for the library and location.

Tomotsu Kuma, 31, were arrested Saturday Fund set up forPlummer A fund to help defray expenses for the Bennie Plummers of San Angelo, former Brownwood residents, has been set up at the Citizens National Bank in Brownwood.

Plummer, a past deputy sheriff in Brown County, is a patient in a San Angelo hospital where he underwent surgery for amputation of his left leg. The San Angelo policeman was injured in a car-motorcycle accident while leading a funeral procession last November. He is a 1958 graduate of Brownwood High School where he was an all-around athlete.

Police declined to say what the penalty might be if Ichikawa and Kuma are convicted. But other informants said it could be 10 years or more imprisonment. Japanese justice allows police to arrest persons who under U.S. legal customs would remain suspects under investigation. After investigation, such bases are turned over to a public prosecutor for further study and formal charges, in the Japanese system.

A search crew that grew through Friday night to nearly 4,000 recovered all 162 bodies from the mountainous terrain where they fell from the integrating 727. Parts of the airliner were strewn across a area. The only American victim was identified as the flight engineer, Dom M. Carpenter, 30, Miami, Fla, The others were Japanese. Police quoted Ichikawa as saying he saw the airliner approaching his jet from behind when his instructor gave a sharp warning over the radio.

The collision occurred, he told police, as he tried to veer left and climb out of the 727's flight path. Radar reported the All Nippon airliner was on course from Sapporo at 28,000 feet, the specified altitude for airliners ion that route. Police quoted Kuma as saying the trainer jet piloted by Ichikawa i was flying at 28,500 feet. 2 women flee jail at Belton BELTON, TEX.
