The time has come for the demand to remove the 6th U.S. Fleet from the Mediterranean to resound in full force." Brezhnev repeated the Soviet charge that Communist China's feud with the Kremlin is hurting the Communist cause in Vietnam. "It is quite obvious that if we had the possibility to act in defense of Vietnam in agreement and jointly with China," he said, "the task of ending U.S. aggression would have been considerably eased."

They hire out to organize and run birthday and other parties for mothers who would prefer "something not so disorganized." Linda, 11, and Kathy, 12, joined weeks conducted several parties. They get $6 a party. "We spend about three or four days preparing for a party," Linda explained. "We make puppets and" we write scripts for the puppet shows and we set up other games for the children." Mothers who have availed themselves of the girls' services are high in their praise of Linda and Kathy.

Linda conceived the Idea for the business while helping her mother conduct parties for her three young sisters. "I also helped at parties with my neighbors' children and 1 decided it might make a good business," she said. Kathy also had some earlier experience in helping her moth er conduct parties for her seven sisters and brothers. She wen' right along with Linda when the business idea was suggested.

(AP) Ray Scott, promoter of the All American Invitational a Tournament, said today that entries are pouring in despite a $100 entry fee. The unusual fishing event will be held June 5-7 on nearby Beaver Lake. Scott, 33, moved to Spring dale two months ago and began setting up the tournament. said he got the idea because fishing, although it is the nation's No. 1 participation sport, had no truly professional tournament.

Scott said he chose Beaver Lake because of a recent article in Outdoor Life magazine about the huge impoundment. "I was interested in the vitality of any new lake," he said. Fishing tournaments are difficult to promote, he said, because there is no way to charge admission or capitalize on concessions. The entry fee was the answer, he said. Contestants will fish from 6 a.m.

to 5 p.m. during the three days and the more than $5,000 in prizes will be distributed on a point system which awards tliree points for each ounce of black bass and one point for each ounce of white bass caught.

Debate on the treaty began Monday with a showdown vote slated for later today.

Most observers predicted the required two-thirds majority for the measure would be achieved. Earlier this year the Senate approved the Johnson-backed U.S.-Soviet consular treaty. The President has said the two treaties plus easing of trade with Iron Curtain countries can build bridges of new understanding and harmony between East and West. The outer-space treaty pro- ibits establishing military bass on celestial bodies and pro- ides for on-site inspection. It also bans putting a nuclear weapons system in an orbiting ehicle, but provides for no bn- 11 vehicle inspection.
