danger of distruetion

By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI>President Johnson has no plans to setup any special commission to re-examine Vietnam War policy, the White House said today. Press Secretary George Christian said Johnson consults often with a variety of individuals in and outside government to obtain broad spectrum of views on the war. “But the formalization of a special commission—that sort of thing hasn’t thus far been given serious consideration for a variety of reasons,” Christian said. “I don’t think the President could give up his authority as Commander-in-Chief.” The idea of a special commission on Vietnam was advocated by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., and his entry into the Democratic presidential race came after Johnson rejected the suggestion.

WASHINGTON (UP*) - Two organizations warned Congress Tuesday the Lake Michigan shoreline known as the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is in danger of destruction. Both the Save the Dunes Council, Chesterton, Ind., and B52s bomb Viet tanks By JACK WALSH SAIGON (UPI)—U.S. Air Force B52 Stratofortresses today bombed a North Vietnamese tank position within striking distance of the surrounded Marine fort of Khe Sanh on South Vietnam’s northern frontier. The eight-engined Strategic Air Command bombers hit the armor base built up by the Communists at the site of the U.S. Army special forces camp at Lang Vei, overrun by tanks Feb. 7. More of the biggest American bombers staged three other raids late Tuesday and today against the 16,000 North Vietnamese that U.S. intelligence said have ringed Khe Sanh, western anchor of the allied antiinvasion line on the northern broder. In other action, the toll of Communist dead in the 10-day-old allied antiguerrilla drive around Saigon—the war’s largest campaign, the 50-battalion Operation Resolved To Win— has risen to 903. Another 204 Communists have been captured. Government spokesmen said South Vietnamese Rangers Tuesday night killed 21 of the Viet Cong just five miles north of Saigon. The Rangers also captured a large guerrilla arms dump hiddeiv on the banks of the Saigon River. The dump held more than 250 rounds of mortar and rocket shells and lay within firing distance of the Tan Son Nhut Air Base headquarters of Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Vietnam and leader of Resolved To Win. U.S. Army helicopter gunships killed at least 35 Communists in scattered action. Military spokesmen said a UH1 helicopter was shot down by guerrilla groundfire while aiding ground troops in the Mekong Delta riqe bowl below Saigon. The crew escaped harm. At Khe Sanh, about four miles northeast of Lang Vei and just under the North Vietnam frontier area, the Marine defenders said their Communist besiegers fired in about 115 rounds of mortar and rocket Tuesday. Commanders reported “light” casualties.

the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Advisory Commission, Fort Wayne, Ind., offered alarming testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Thomas E. Dustin, chairman of the Fort Wayne group, said rezoning of areas along the lakeshore had created a new “sense of urgency” to budget requests for land acquisition. Marjory Crawford, in a statement for the Save the Dunes Council, said “every single acre of the approximately 8,000 authorized by Congress in 1966 for the park is in danger.” Dustin said actions such as rezoning by the town of Porter, Ind., had created the “gravest necessity” to speed up appropriation of funds to acquire the land. The Porter Town Board rezoned 34 acres of the lakeshore from residential to industrial in what Dustin said could lead to a “domino effect” in surrounding areas. Mrs. Crawford said the National Park Service was powerless to condemn land being rezoned for industrial use until funds were appropriated for the purpose. The park service, she said, also was unable to halt the removal of sand dunes by “sand miners.” She said her group recognized the current strain on the federal budget but said the Indiana Dunes were a special case. “No other facility of the National Park Service faces the dangers of bulldozing to the extent that the Indiana Dunes does,” she said. Consumer report DA’s Consumer and Marketing Service reports that weekend shoppers should find excellent displays of meat and poultry and ample stocks of some fresh vegetables and fruit in food stores and supermarkets. Broiler-fryer chickens and turkeys should again lead the field as being the most abundant meats. Pork and some pork products are also abundant, and these include bacon, ham, butts, and fresh roasts and chops. Supplies of beef roasts and steaks should be ample and so should stocks of ' ground beef and stew meat. North Pacific halibut steaks, ocean perch fillets, and canned tuna are fish buys to watch for, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Cabbage, celery, lettuce, and potatoes are the most abundantly available vegetables. Fruits in the abundant class are bananas and oranges. In some areas, apples and grapefruit may be abundant also.

Kidnaper is caught

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPI)Police baited a trap with $30,000 in ransom money at a country road intersection Monday and arrested a 58-year-old suspect in the kidnap of a little girl from her suburban home. Diana L. Kelfer, 5, was abducted from her home Monday afternoon by a man police said posed as a repairman. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Kelfer of suburban Castle Hills. Officials said the suspect was arrested when he tried to pick up $30,000 in ransom money at an intersection near San Antonio. After he was arrested, he led law enforcement officers to a barn near Bulverde, Tex., in nearby Comal County, where the girl was found asleep, wrapped in a blanket. She was unhurt. A Bexar County sheriff's officer said the man told officers “he was in dire need of money.” A family maid, left in charge of the girl, told officers she let the man into the house when he told her he had come to repair a faucet. The maid said the man then put a nylon stocking over his head, pulled a gun and tied her up. She said the man wrapped the girl in a blanket and fled. The maid called police and when the Kelfers returned to the house they found a note prepared in advance telling them to put $30,000 in a flight bag and warning them not to call the police. The note said the kidnaper would call at 7 p.m. and give further instructions. Police said the money was taken to the designated spot where “we had around 50 officers altogether in and around that area.” The suspect “was a very easy

suspect” after his capture, a sheriff’s officer said. The officer said the man volunteered to lead law enforcement men to the girl.

Dear Heloise: During the past cool months when we had our space heaters going, I put a bowl of water on top of them to add moisture to the dry air in our home. Then I added a bit of spicy cologne, a few cinnamon sticks or a few whole cloves. This gives off a nice odor of freshness which is a bit unusual and lasts the day and night. It breaks up the stuffiness of a closed-up home. Fay Teets Dear Heloise: When I am preparing pancakes for breakfast, the first thing I do is take the syrup out of the refrigerator, stand the bottle in the sink and let the hot water run slowly over the entire bottle. By the time the pancakes are ready to be served, the syrup is warm and running freely. It also penetrates the cakes more thoroughly. After all, who wants cold syrup on those nice hot cakes? Nobody I guess. Have you ever just tried putting the bottle in a pan or big can of hot water? Saves on the water

bill...

Don’t pour it out. Save it. After breakfast set the bottle back in and use the same warm water to soak off those drips. Heloise Dusting my carved chest was always quite a chore until it occurred to me to try using a new paint brush I happened to have on hand. It’s terrrr-ific! The soft bristles will not scratch the chest and they clean the little ricks and crannies in the carving much better than a dust cloth will do. Estelle C. Ever tried removing the gadget on the end of your vacuum cleaner wand and sucking up all that dust? Works for me. Heloise No choice BOSTON (UPI)—A top official of the Democratic party in Massachusetts said Tuesday the chairman of the Democratic State Committee “has no choice” but to switch his allegiance from President Johnson to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy,

D-N.Y.

The official, who requested v anonymity, also said the argument later would be put to Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, one of Kennedy’s exponents in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, that the Minnesota senator “can’t win.” Kennedy forces would inform McCarthy he would lose the nomination because “McCarthy doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to get the proper exposure that Kennedy already has,” he said. The source, a top-ranking figure in the state’s party, said Lester S. Hyman, chairman of the state committee, “has no choice” but to switch from Johnson to the New York senator because he was “put in there by Ted—Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
