Bomb Scare At Syracuse School

Nearly 900 students in the Syracuse elementary school and junior high school were quickly evacuated from their classrooms Monday morning following a bomb scare. Students removed from the building are shown above in the school’s parking lot. The bomb scare brought a heavy phalanx of officers to the

Peace Corps Act, and the Cold War G.I. Bill. Brademas’ subcommitttee is currently considering legislation he has introduced dealing with environmental education, preschool education and child day care centers, and the National Arts and Humanities Foundation. The Third District Congressman said today: “During my eleven years in Congress, I have championed programs benefitting young people and older citizens. I have fought to conserve our natural resources and safeguard our environment. I have worked hard for full employment and expanding business opportunities and against inflation and wasteful government spending. I have supported the strengthening of law enforcement, and have cooperated with local government officials on many community projects. I have helped thousands of individual citizens and community organizations with problems affecting social security, veterans pensions, military service, small business loans and im megrat ion cases.” The South Bend Democrat has given particular attention to helping local industry win government business, and he played a key role in efforts to revitalize the area economy following the shotdown of the Studebaker plant here.
