Three Michigan boys were killed and 25 other persons injured one critically when a Boys' Club of Ypsilanti bus carrying 56 youngsters to Disney World flipped twice and crashed Tuesday as it was pulling off Interstate-75 near here. The brakes on the school bus, owned by the club and driven by club executive secretary Ernest Slater, apparently failed as it was traveling on a ramp to a rest area at Inaha, about 14 miles south of Ashburn.

Authorities said the bus Deputy Sheriff Sellers said the uninjured boys including 16 riding in another vehicle not involved in the accident were taken to a high school gym where they were talking and playing basket-'ball. "Most of 'em are playing basketball," he said. "They don't seem too shocked about it. Of course, I know they are." The boys, who had been staying with various Boys' Clubs along the way, set up sleeping bags in the gym and were supplied with hamburgers, turnovers and soft drinks Please turn to Page 13A 13. In fair condition at Tift General Hospital were Anthony Fuller, 12, and LeRoy Trice, 17.

Eleven others including Slater, the driver, were admitted and reported in stable condition at Turner County Hospital. In all, 38 persons were originally taken to Turner County Hospital.

Four of five boys still pinned in the wreckage were excitedly calling "Get me out of here" and "Help me" and some boys were crying, but others were just sitting, he said. State Trooper Bert Connell said, "A couple of them were real upset, particularly one whose cousin was one of the fatalities. But all in all, they took it real good."

But this June, after 58 years, I'll finally be able to visit my three sisters in Aberdeen, that is if I can get my passport. Although the trip is planned and paid for, I can't apply for my passport because I lost my citizenship papers, and I haven't got the replacement papers I applied for in January. I'm 78, and want to make this trip so bad. Can you help? J.D., Ortonville.

Thanks to U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Office in Detroit, duplicate citizenship papers will be issued to you this week. When Action Line first called Lawrence Paretta, acting district director of Detroit immigration office, he said obtaining duplicate papers from Washington, D.C., was at least six-month process because of thousands of requests.

But in light of your age and circumstances surrounding trip, Paretta and his staff made special effort to get verification from Washington. Two days later, he got okay from capital, clearing way for immediate issuance of citizenship Wendel tried to tell nurse of killer I just married an American woman and have moved from Canada to the U.S. I'm still working in Canada, though, and that's costing me.

BOYD Chief of Our Washington Bureau WASHINGTON President Carter vowed Tuesday to hold down pay raises for most government employes and asked business and labor to follow his example to help get the country off the "treadmill" of inflation. Carter flatly ruled out compulsory wage-price controls, except in case of war. But he said he would limit 1978 wage increases for the 1,400,000 federal white-collar workers to "about 5.5 percent." And there will be no raises at all this year for the 3,000 presidential appointees and senior White House staff members, he said. He also threatened to veto any legislation that would increase the federal deficit beyond his proposed $60 billion and to take administrative steps to reduce the imports of high-priced foreign oil if his energy program is not passed swiftly. Declaring that the federal A Carter canh solve inflation by himself to By RALPH ORR Free Press Labor Writer HOWELL A nurse who attended Otto Wendel after he was found fatally wounded last December testified Tuesday that the Detroit Teamsters official indicated someone had shot him.

She said he tried to write the name of his killer. The startling testimony came in the second day of an inquest to determine whether the 62-year-old secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 299 committed suicide or was murdered. Kathy Boyes, a registered nurse in charge of the intensive care unit at McPherson Community Health Center in Howell, said she was with Wendel after he underwent a SVi-hour operation for two gunshot wounds. She said Wendel had been restless and unresponsive, then suddenly made a scribbling motion with his hand. Miss Boyes said she and a licensed practical nurse, Mrs.

Katherine Chapman, who also was in the intensive care unit attending Wendel, believed he was indicating he wanted to write a message. They asked him whether this was so and Wendel nodded his head affirmatively, Miss Boyes testified. The two nurses gave Wendel a pencil, got a clipboard with a piece of paper on it and held the board so he could write. BEFORE Wendel wrote, Miss Boyes testified, he made a gesture. "He patted his stomach where his wounds were," she said.

4v-r "ti m. government alone cannot stop inflation, Carter repeated his plea to management and labor to hold future wage and price increases in the private sector below the average of the last two years. He also appealed to governors and mayors to exercise similar restraint in the salaries of the 12 million state and local government employes. These were the highlights of the president's latest anti-inflation package a collection of old and new proposals that he spelled out at a meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors here Tuesday. CARTER'S speech came as inflation during the first two months of the year was running at an annual rate of 8.3 percent, compared with 6.5 last year.

Most of the ideas had been advanced publicly by Carter months ago, and the rest had been widely published in the press. The only really new item was the naming of White House aide Robert Strauss as the president's "special counselor on inflation," with authority to speak for him against wage and price increases that the administra- Please turn to Page 13A By BROOKS JACKSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON President Carter's hopes for controlling inflation rest in large part on the co-operation he receives from elements outside his control the Congress, the weather, the international moneychangers and the Arabs. The president's original plan of reducing the inflation rate gradually during his four- ble taxation, with unfavorable currency exchange to boot, may change soon with bill now pending in Michigan Legislature. Income tax spokesman said bill would allow you same amount of credit Uncle Sam gives you for taxes paid in Canadian provinces. Michigan Senate passed bill overwhelmingly last month and sent it to House Taxation Committee.

It should be up for vote soon, so a letter from your wife to her state rep might be a good idea. Last month I read that the city of Remagen, West Germany, is selling pieces of the Remagen Bridge. Since the bridge played such a famous part in World War II, and my husband's a veteran and a war history buff, I'd like to surprise him with a souvenir of the bridge. They didn't offer this two years ago when we visited the site. How can I buy one now? M.M., Grand Rapids.

Chip off the old bridge can be yours for $20, according to mayor of Remagen, Hans-Peter Kuerten. With help of expert German translator, Action Line was able to decipher Mayor Kuerten's response to letter we sent him several weeks ago. He said city is selling paperweights, cast in glass, containing stones "of the former Ludendorf Bridge," popularly known to American GIs as Remagen. Mayor said proceeds from bridge chip sale are going toward museum dedicated to war dead of both sides. For lack of full details in Mayor Kuerten's letter, you might want to write for further info before sending $20 cash or money order.

Correspondence and letters can be sent to Stadtverwaltung Remagen, Bruecken-steine, Postfach 1640, 5480 Remagen 1, West Germany.

The marriage of singer Aretha R. Franklin to actor Glynn Turman Tuesday was partly family affair, partly media event and mostly celebration. In the New Bethel Baptist Church where she sang as a child, and where her father has preached for 31 years, the first lady of soul was married for the second time beneath the neon cross of blue and white and the benign gaze of Ahmed Ertegun, president of Atlantic Records.

Dressed in off-white satin with a seven-foot pearl train, all of it trimmed in white mink, the 36-year-old bride was escorted to the altar by her brother, Cecil Franklin. As she passed, the overflow crowd of well-wishers clucked and chanted its approval. During a processional lasting almost 15 minutes, Mendelssohn's wedding march filled the vast church. No sooner had Miss Franklin arrived at the side of her beaming fiance, however, than the Four Tops broke into the Stevie Wonder song "Isn't She Lovely" and the crowd roared. Although Wonder failed to appear, as scheduled, to sing "You and after the exchange of rings, the Four Tops filled the Please turn to Page 2A Part of the inflation problem Carter brought on himself.

Chartered buses, trucks and private cars, crammed with personal belongings, carried the refugees to Israeli checkpoints and into the southern port city of Tyre. Israeli soldiers, worried about guerilla infiltration, turned back refugees who lacked identification cards. NORWEGIAN UN troops, meanwhile, were taking over positions vacated by the Israelis as part of a promised pullback of between one and four miles. The areas had been occupied by the Israeli troops since last month, when they invaded southern Lebanon in a strike at Palestinian guerillas. Israel has promised to pull back from other occupied areas later this week.

The Israeli troop withdrawals Tuesday were east of Tyre.
