Authorities found the body after being alerted by campers that "a log was burning near the monument."

A joint investigation by Riv- 'ei side County and San Ber nardino County sheriff's depart ments and the Los Angeles Police Department was under way. Parsons had composed some songs for the Rolling Stones rock musical group. er work can be completed this year on a new allied declaration of principles which Nixon wants to sign while in Europe.

Two Nixon's determination to stick close to the White House and concentrate on such domestic problems as rising inflation and energy shortages. Months- ago Nixon and his chief foreign policy adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, proclaimed 1973 as "the Year of Europe" and began making plans for a journey to five or more Eu ropean capitals. Some European leaders displayed coolness to the idea. But Common Market foreign ministers in a Copenhagen meeting Sept.

10 drafted a proposed declaration of principles for the allied community. This draft was dispatched to Washington tills week and is being studied at the White House and State Department. Officials aren't saying whether it is acceptable, but stress that Nixon wants substantive from any European trip and is not interested "in simply a grand tour" of the continent. Discussions on whether the trip will be postponed until sometime next year are expected to continue when Kissinger, confirmed Friday as Secretary of State, confers with European diplomats attending the opening of the United Nations General Assembly next week. As chances of the European appear to have dimmed, chances for a presidential journey to Japan seem to have brightened.
