of Hope in Starvation Battle WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) officials saw a ray of optimism today in their battle to stave off starvation and illness among tribal members hit by a series of severe snow storms. But, the weather remained the key item. "If it snows and blows, all predictions are off," said Graham Holmes, Bureau of Indian Affairs area director. Many Navajos were being admitted to hospitals on or near the reservation suffering from pneumonia, exposure and respiratory ailments brought on by the cold weather.

A U.S. Public Health Service official said most of the hospitals were at near capacity. "We're able to move the ones who are less ill," said Dr. George Bock, PHS facilities director, "and the more severly ill can be flown out to peripheral hospitals if need be." Holmes said the "death rate has held remarkably well," considering the conditions. Officials said there had been only three deaths attributable to the storms which first struck the nation's largest Indian reservation Dec.

13. Both tribal Chairman Raymond Nakai and Holmes said there has been no reported cases of starvation among the estimated 110,000 Navajos living on the reservation, which is the size of West Virginia. Officials added, however, upwards of 60,000 Navajos are in need of food and fuel. "We've got enough food, or food available, far the next three to four days if the weather doesn't turn bad," said Holmes. Nakai said there still is no indication the reservation will be declared an emergency area by the federal government.

He wants the designation to enable utilization of heavy snow-removal equipment to open snow blocked roads. Holmes said several federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, the National Parks Service and the U.S. Forest Service are helping to move in snow-removal equipment. He said some pieces were expected to reach the reservation late today. Nakai and Holmes said the Navajos are losing a lot of livestock.

Hay drops by C119s working out of Phoenix were scheduled for the second straight day in the western part of the reservation which Nakai said has been hardest hit by the thigh-high snow. Air Force rescue helicopters went forth again with more food drops to the remote sections) of the reservation which extends into New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Surplus food, blankets and cots were being airlifted from Phoenix. However, a convoy of trucks bringing 60 tons of surplus food from Phoenix Wednesday was turned back by huge snow drifts and clogged highways. Navajo tribal police Asst.

Supt. Frank Chambers said four tons of that food would be airlifted to Winslow for distribution. markets LOCAL Wheat Milo Ry. Barlay WAGON PRICES 11.31 down 1 $1.55 Unchg. $0.85 Unchg.

Total cost would come to something more than $330 million and the governor did not estimate how much the program would cost when interest is added. Docking and his highway ad- iser, Gale Moss of El Dorado, lUtlined the program to a group more than 100 legislators and interested in highways. The meeting was held in the hamber of the House of Repre- entatives Moss presented a large map bowing the planned freeway onstruction.

Greek Crisis Appears Near Turning Point ATHENS (AP) Greece's political crisis appeared today be reaching a turning point after King Constantino said he would return if the junta announced a firm timetable for restoration of democracy. The 27-year-old monarch's condition appeared easy for the ruling junta to accept. He called for an "acceptable date" for publication of a new constitution, an early date for a national referendum on it and assurances to the Greek people that they will be able to elect a new government. Constantino did not stipulate what should be in constitution, what his powers should be or when the election should be held.

The junta, which wants Constantino back to help it hold recognition as the legitimate government, long hag promised a return to parliamentary rule. A draft constitution is to be presented to it constitution sharply reducing the king's powers. The three ruling colonels who came to power in a coup last April 21 resigned Wednesday from the army, clearing the way for them to run as civilians in the elections they have promised. But there was no indication the action would diminish their grip on Greece. Speaking to newsmen in Rome Wednesday after five days of negotiation with the junta, Constantino said he did not oppose the April coup because he wanted to avoid 'bloodshed, and he stayed in Greece for eight months because he hoped he could convince the junta to return to democracy.

But, he said, a "deviation" in the junta's avowed intention to do this became clear and he tried to call the 8 million Greeks into a countercoup Dec. 13. It never really got started and he fled to Rome. "I decided act," he said. "I did not succeed Let us be perfectly realistic.

I have no actual power at my command now. But I do have babied my purpose the desire of every Greek to live in freedom."
