(AP Wire- photo) Tupamaro Escape Planned Down To Smallest Detail Porfer Speaks Al Deadlocked Peace Talks By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH PARIS (AP) President Nixon's new Vietnam peace negotiator urged Hanoi and the Viet Cong today to consider his arrival as "an opportunity to make some progress toward a peaceful settlement." In his first session of the long-deadlocked talks, Ambassador William J.

Porter renewed an American proposal for. secret meetings to give the four delegations an opportunity to "without the requirement for immediate public response." The Communists renewed their demand fora total U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. Porter's brief, address' conspicuously refrained from criticizing the Communist position. "These talks have been unproductive for too long," said the former ambassador to South Kora.

"My own views as to how to move to revitalize them are clear, What are your It was Porter's first face-to face meeting with Vietnam's chief, negotiators, Xuan Thuy.

MONTEVIDEO, a AP) The mass escape of upamaro guerrillas from a prison was planned own to the smallest details in- luding a tiny traffic sign di- ecting the fugitives to a near- house.

He Said 'in interview Wednesday he was in his housp Garcia Slreet across rdrii' the prison when two young men, 'well-dressed anc carrying'pistols, knocked at the door. TOOK OVER "We are Tupamaros and we need this house for an operation," they told Castillo. Ttia was about 7 p.m. said, and the operation was over some nine hours lat er.

The leftist guerrillas freed 106 of their comrades and five other prisoners and not a shol was fired during the escape. Castillo said the guerrillas wrought the residents of a near by house into his home and or dered them all--Castillo and six ivomen--into a room anrl warn "T-his is a matter and death. Your lives de jend on the sUccess of this operation." Then the Tupamaros, rein- orcec! now by oilier guerrillas, jegan'digging the tunnel in the iving room, piling lip dirt amid he furniture, Castillo said. Fa- ice late found one of gray vool socks the guerrillas used around their hoes to muffle the sound of the 1 digging. He said that in the middle the night one of the older women called out to the Tupamaros to bring her tea, saying.

"I always drink it before I sleep." They brought her a glass of tea. As the escape hour neared, the Tupamaros also became nervous. One told the women. "Why don't you knit a little?" Castillo said. PROCESSION BEGINS -The prisoners began emerging from the tunnel into Castillo's house about 3 a.m.

Monday and the procession continued for hours. The small traffic sign directed the fugitives to a hole in the wall and a route that led to tiie house of Jorge Curi Zagia, already occupied by oher guerrillas. Curl Zagia said before the prisoners began arriving he and his family were ordered to the upper floor, In the predawn hours Monday, motors started outside Curi Zagia's house and the guerrillas went on their way in a fcmall caravan of trucks and buses. At Punta Carreteras Prison, military patrols marched their routine rounds, passing Castillo's, house every 15 minutes.

For the individual serv- ceman, it means higher rents, ighter budgets and less travel and entertainment. Young, Gls. arriving in Germany for the first lime encoun- er -a new kind of shock. They compare the hard marks and pfennig of reality with the they heard their fathers and big brothers about the good old days when a carton of American cigarettes could buy practically anything ere. With a note of disillusionment, Spec.

5 Frank Godec of Pueblo, 'I had the idea things would be lirl cheap over here. After all, the dollar was king." But now. Codec says lie and lis wife are finding, "it's really hard to get by on the If you try to use dollars they only give you three marks or less. Sometimes they won't even accept dollars for marks. Since the mark was floated I've been paying dollars a month rent." OFF-BASE WING The "economy" is military jargon for the marks-and-pfeit- nig world outside of American military compounds.

Godec is one of thousands of. married American enlisted men living "on the economy" because military dependent housing is not authorized or available, The Codecs pay 500 marks a month for rent. Before the float, this came to about $137. Now it is about $147. But this figure is subject to fluctuation.

West Germany allowed mark to float, or seek its own level on the international mon- njarkets, on May .9. The move was designed to stem the inflow of unwanted U.S. dollars and halt domestic price rises. Two years, ago, the value the dollar was dropped from four to 3.66 marks. Since it was floated three months ago, the mark has risen about 8 or cent In value and Ameri- ans now are getting 3.38 marks or less for each dollar.

A loni-time Army vho remembers the employe, good old ays, remarked, "I just don't out on the 'economy' a morel I eat at. the American lubs. I tell my Don't buy the go to the PX and commissary." PRICES FROZEN A PX, or post exchange is comparable to a department store, and a commissary is like a supermarket. Prices of Amer- can products in both the post exchanges and commissaries lave been frozen in line with 'resident Nixon's new econom- policy. Spec.

Besides, we lon't know from day -to day low much our dollar is worth. We do our shopping in the commissary now." But there no comparable way to offset such higher fixed costs as and the Jeters-like the Codecs--are paying $10 more a month than when they arrived last March. If Congress desn't unfreeze quarters' allowances for enlisted- men, a 3rd Armored Division' lieutenant said, "the guys really are going to be liurting." Some lower-rarikfng 'enlistee men not authorized'to transport their wives and children to Germany at government expense are said to be reconsidering plans to bring them over.

"They feel that, with the money situation being what is, it's just not worth it," one enlisted man said. FEELS PINCH U.S. Army headquarters in Heidelberg also is feeling pinch. It estimates that eacl percentage point the mar! floats upward from its officia pegging will increase the-com mand's operating costs by $3, 767,000 this fiscal year. 'As of now, tht change aused by the floating mark is about 8.3 per a fiscal ear.dollar impact of approid- million," a man'said.

Heidelberg headquarters has made representations to the Jepartment of the Army his added cost, assis- ance in obtaining additions! unding to covei 1 it," the pokesman said. But the West German finance and economics minister, Karl 'Chiller, already has nb- ice that Bonn will hot increase ts payments, to Washington to iffset the of stationing 200,000 American troops in Vest Germany.

During the past fiscal year six per cent of the meats, dairy and bread products and fresh rails and vegetables came 'rom West Germany. Their sale value, was $4,315,175. The commissaries were pas sing the increased costs of loca products to their customers The post exchanges have no yet followed suit, but may do so In the near future.

Ex-Faubus Aide Opens Club With Topless Entertainers LITTLE ROCK (AP) Robert Troutt. former aide to ex- Gov.

Orval E. Faubus, brought topless entertainment to the Capitol city as he opened the old Gaslite Club as a public bar Wednesday night. He said he expected no trouble from authorities. "The city has got to decide whether to live in the dark ages or come into the 20tli century." Troutt said at a reception for newsmen and well-wishers. He said Mayor George Wirri- berly and Police Chief Gale Weeks had been invited.

Pros. Ally. James Guy Tucker Jr. was out of town. and.

Troult added, "I honestly don't know" the Censor Board was invited. Preceded by the music of a five-piece band called "The Trolley," three girls bared their breasts in dance numbers Troutt described as "go-go" and "exotic." He said "erotic" was not an appropriate term. Troutt, who has an advertising- agency in Hot Springs, helped bring breasty entertain ment to the resort city, where topless dancing has become al most commonplace entertainment. The Gaslite opening was executed without a formal announcement. "The word spread fast," Troult said.

"When I promised a new type of entertainment, most people figured it out right away." STARS The stars Wednesday night were Lori, Shirley and Pat. "Nobody gives last names in their business," Troult said. Dancers are forbidden to dale the customers, he said. The absence of last names also is to make it as difficult as possible for customers to locale Ihe pei-- formers after the tori, 28, of a a a in a strawberry blonde, single 5-foot 6, 116 pounds, and measures 41 24-36, Her number, to the sound Irack from "Love 1 features' her In a sheer toga.

Pat, 22, of Hot Springs, has black hair, is married, stands 5-foot-4, weights 112 pounds and lias measurements of 35-23-35. Her number is a go-go dance under flashing white strobe light. Troutt said a such shows could help Little Rock develop into the sort of convention center business leaders have talked of building. "I know for a (act you won't get to be a convention town if all a conventioneer can look forward to is sitting in his hotel room and watching -television," he said. "What is entertainment? It's something that excites, interests and stimulates.

Almost any man would say a pretty woman was slimulaling. Top less, it's just morcso." When do the acts go bottomless? "I don't know," Troutt said "I don't think I need it." Troutt said that because of S. Supreme Court rulings, he believed there no longer was any question about the legality of topless dancing. No outrage; moralists are expected, he said but he added, "Well, there's al ways some dissenters to any thing." "I might even hire some peo pie to picket the place oul front," he laughed. "I believe in all the free advertising I can gel." WILSON'S Highway 62 West and 16 East at Baldwin Both Stores Open 7 a.m.
