"I'm no prude, but I've seen things in what I consider rather conservative magazines nude women and things, like this," said the Navy flier in a news conference Saturday at the Millington Naval Air Station. "It's not so shocking maybe, but surprising that this has changed." Vohden said he and other prisoners of war managed to keep a the news from America through new POWs who spread the word. He said the changes he found have not been "overwhelming. "I understand that in eight years things are going to change," he said. "I can't say that there has been anything that's been difficult to face." But Vohden refused to discuss his family life cr to comment on reports, that his wife, Bonnye, said he planned to go away for a month to think things over since he was having trouble adjusting to his freedom.

Mrs. Vohden filed for divorce last year, but later withdrew the suit, and now says she only a happy life for her family, which includes two children, Raymond 11, and Connye, 10. "After I finish my debriefing and my medical and get my teeth fixed and all the medical work, I thought I'd take a trip to Europe or maybe somewhere and enjoy living for a while," said Vohden. Vohden's Phantom jet was shot down on a bombing mission over North Vietnam on April 3. 1965, and he parachutted to safety.

"It just so happened that there were miles and miles of rice paddies around, but I was drifting towards a hill that was probably 200 feet high, and as it turned out, this hill was nothing but a bunch of rocks. I landed in this bunch of rocks and, as a consequence, I broke my leg. "Within about two minutes there were two peasants up on top of the hill, and 'they came at me with dangers, and I raised iny hands indicating that I surrendered. There was nothing else I could do."

thru Sat. 4425 Brownfield Highway 799-3695 the legislative budget 3fay Get Less Keel said that even though Texas will' get 581 million a year in new federal revenue sharing money, existing levels of federal aid to specific state programs will be cut and Nixon's impoundment of funds may mean the state will get even less than tlx? reduced amounts appropriated by Congress. Welfare is a prime example of the financial problems the new Washington policies pose 'or Texas. "Although the federal government is going to take over adult assistance programs on Jan. 1, 1974, we're going to have some hellish costs on the medical assistance program," Keel said.

Many 3Iqre Eligible Welfare officials predict rolls for medical assistance will skyrocket with the changeover because thousands more Texans will be eligible under more liberal federal definitions of who is needy. At the same time Nixon has ordered Health, Education anc Welfare (HEW) Department officials to tighten up eligibility standards for programs under which Texas now gets 595 million a year for providing social services to welfare recipients. "Right now we get funds for services to pre and post welfare recipients," one official explained. "Nixon's going to restrict it to present ivelfare recipients. That would just cut one heck of a lot of the Texas claim." The state's three man state welfare board last week said it warned the Nixon administration's "cripling" economy drive could force the department to seek an emergency appropriation from lawmakers to com- plete the current fiscal year and force legislators to come up with an extra 5131 million for the next biennium.

The 5131 million would have to be raised by new tax levies, unless lawmakers cut other programs in the 1974-75 budget that much. Some federal funds cutbacks will be offset temporarily this year by revenue snaring funds since tlie new sharing program was made retroactive and Tex- as will collect $316 million money for 3 and 2-3 years during the 1974-75 biennium. In addition to welfare, Texas jrobably will have to come up yith more state money to cover ederal cutbacks in programs or medical facility construction, jaramedical personnel training such as nursing schools, and a wst of other fields. The state library expects to lose about 52.6 million a year in federal money. Libraries at state colleges and universities also face fund reductions.

"The areas where we're going to be hit the hardest though come primarily from presidential impoundment," one budget expert said. Nixon's order barring expenditure of funds allocated by Congress for pollution control programs will cut Texas' allocation for that activity from 5106 million this year to 555 million for fiscal 1973. Russians, Czechs Call For Peace PRAGUE (AP) The Soviet and Czechoslovak Communist leadership called on "all peace- loving countries" Sunday to do all in their power to end the conflict in the Middle East. Summing up the results of two days of talk by Leonid I. Brezhnev and Gustav Husak, a joint communique reported by the official Czechoslovak news agaicy, CTK, said the leaders also expressed hope that in Paris the achieved agreement on Vietnam will be strengthened.

The two countries, the com- munique said, "are convinced it is the duty of all peaceloving nations to do all within their power to settle the conflict in the Middle East on the basis of the liquidation of the consequences of Israeli aggression 5 the respecting of legal rights and interests of all nations in this sphere."
