NEVERTHELESS, we are
always reminded that despite its
normal metropolitan problems
Chicago is still one of the two
best run big cities in the country
Atlanta is the other biggie
MAYOR RICHARD OALEY is
the last of the big city political
bosses He runs a tight ship The
garbage people walked out
recently He gave them until the
morning following to get back on
the job. They were there
OALEY KEEPS the lid on
Chicago, thus the streets are
aorta safe—a far cry safer than
Washington DC, New York,
Miami. Los Angeles. Seattle,
Philadelphia, and others in the
million-plus class
THE STREETS are sorts
clean, much more so than you'll
find in other metros of com-
parable site The police and fire
folk are sorts effective and sorts
honest, for departments of that
sue, we're told
WE TALKED with a couple
reporters who predicted things
will not be as ship-shape if and

There's a lot of people just
waiting for the opportunity to
take over and start raising a
mkus. that's the word we get
SO MAYBE if you've been
planning on taking the family to

City Managers and Mayors of
Sapulpa. Sand Springs. Kiefer,
Kellyville and Mounds discussed
four passible proposals for a
cooperative solid waste disposal
system in a meeting under the
sponsorship of the Indian
Nations Council of Governments
Thursday night
City Manager Rollin Snethen
reported that the four proposals
would be studied by each
community with a meeting date
to be determined later after
information is gathered
The first proposal was to let a
contract to a commercial
sanitation firm that would
collect and deposit all five of the
communities' solid wastes
A second plan called for a
mutual deposit site, with the
smaller communities of Kiefer.
Mounds and Kellyville pur-
chasing trash pickup equipment
and using a Sapulpa sanitary
landfill or a mutual site.
The group also discussed a
proposal which would call for a
five-city trust to be formed,
which would operate the entire
sanitation system under the
cooperative effort.
Snethen said that a proposal of
extending sanitation service
from Sapulpa to Kiefer. Mounds
and Kellyville under a fee type
program was also disucusaed.
S 'nuipa and Sand Springs, as
the major members of the
cooperative effort, were left with
the responsibility of locating a
mutual site.
"Our whole aim of this thing is
a cooperative effort that will
benefit those involved," Snethen
explained "Hopefully under a
cooperative effort our costs of
running the sanitation system
wiU be lower "

Freedom Sought For US
Diplomats Held Hostage
KHARTOUM (UP1) - Presi-
dent Nixon dispatched a trou-
bleshooting State Department
official to this Sudanese capital
today to try to win freedom for
two American diplomats held
hostage under a death threat
with three other envoys by Black
September Arab guerrillas
The band of six to eight
guerrillas shot their way into the
Saudi Arabian Embassy
Thursday night, seized the five
diplomats and threatened to
execute them unless authorities
released scores of Arab priso-
ners, including Sirhan B. Sirhan.
the assassin of Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy
They set a 7 a m EST deadline
but it passed without incident
and the guerrillas began scaling
down their demands At one
Point, the Egyptian Middle East
News Agency reported, they
demanded a plane to fly them to
the United States with the
hostages and two Sudanese
cabinet officials
Sudan offered the plane but
declined to let the cabinet of-
ficiais leave. Negotiations
continued in the heavily guarded
embassy where the guerrillas
said they had planted bombs to
blow it up if their demands were
not met. Large numbers of
security forces surrounded the
building but the Sudan said it
would not storm the embassy

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Nixon announced
today he will meet with South
Vietnamese President Nguyen
Van Thieu April 2-3 in San
Clemente, Calif., for consulta-
tions on postwar developments
He also disclosed for the first
time that postwar aid to North
Vietnam will be drawn from the
national security budget, which
includes defense and foreign
assistance
hi a farrea. bine new* con-
ference, in hia Oval Office, the
President also said the United
States will do all it can to secure
the release of U S Ambassador
Cleo A. Noel Jr., who was seized
in Sudan by the Black Sep-
tember Palestinian terrorists,
but America will not submit to
"blackmail ”
1 "As far as the United States is
concerned," Nixon said, “we
will not get into blackmail
demands. We cannot and will not
do so.”
Noel and three other di-
plomats were seized in a raid on
a diplomatic reception in
Khartoum Thursday night.
Nizon declined to cite an
amount of aid that would be
offered North Vietnam That’s
something to be negotiated," he
said
But he said Congress will be
consulted, stressing that We
will have to have congressional
support of it.”
Nixon conceded that there is
"considerable opposition to aid
to North Vietnam, but he
repeated his view that the aid
was worth the price of a lasting
peace and stability in the area
Nixon also said that he
believes that "the key that will
make the cease-fire work in
l-aos is the unequivocal with-
drawal of all foreign forces. ”
He said that such a provision is
in the cease-fire agreement
"We expect it to be adhered to.
and we believe chances for
peace will be considerable. ”
In Cambodia, Nixon said,
achieving a cease-fire was more
complex because of the number
of opposing groups involved. He
added that once a cease-fire was
adhered to, the United States
would observe it and would not
continue any military operations
in Cambodia
The President did not appear
greatly concerned about con-
tinuing violations of the cease-
fire agreement in Vietnam
"There are still incidents," he
conceded "There will continue
to be violations until the
situation is settled But the
number of violations has been
reduced, even though it isn’t
’-ero yet The main point is the
violations are going down ”
Nixon did not go into detail
about his forthcoming meeting
with Thieu - their first since
1970, and he declined to discuss
the private contacts that led
North Vietnam to resume
releasing American prisoners of
war this week
"I don’t think interests would
be served in discussing the
contacts,” he said But he
reiterated the U. S. position that
the release of POWs was tied
only to the withdrawal of
American troops and "cannot be
linked to anything else in the

Hostages Freed; AIM
Holds Town Under Arms
PINE RIDGE, S.D. (UPI) —
Sen George S. McGovern said
today that militant Indians still
controlled the community of
Wounded Knee and an "armed
truce" existed, even though they
had freed 11 hostages
He expressed concern over the
possible effects on negotiations
between federal officials and the
Indians, members of the
American Indian Movement, of
the reported fire bombing of an
AIM leader's home and the
serious injury of the Indian's
wife
McGovern and South Dakota's
junior senator, Janies Abourezk,
met for about three hours late
Thursday night with AIM
leaders in a "demilitarized"
zone outside of the settlement
itself On one side of the area
were Indian barricades; on the
other, the road blocks and the
posts of federal marshals who
have ringed the settlement since
shortly after it was seized by the
Indians Tuesday.
Fira-Bombing
Both senators said they made
no concession of consequence,
and McGovern said that tension
appeared to be easing until just
toward the end of the meeting,
when word came of the fire-

bombing
The AIM leaders at Wounded
Knee got word by telephone
from Pine Ridge that the home
of Aaron DeSerca, an AIM
leader, had been severely
damaged by a fire bomb and
that his wife had been taken to a
hospital with severe burns
"There was not a happy
response," McGovern said "It
was a very jarring note
The senator said Department
of Justice officials led by a
special assistant to the Attorney
General would be getting in
touch with the Indians today to
work out what conditions might
be made for a surrender of

GALLUP, N.M (UPI)
Mayor Emmett Garcia crashed
hrough a glass window in a
Maze of bullets to escape from
two militant Indians who kid-
naped him Thursday
Then police opened fire on the
spotting goods store where the
two Indians, both 20, had holed
up One surrendered and the
other was found inside, shot to
death Police said they think he
committed suicide
Garcia was hospitalized in
good condition His abductors
had shot him once in the side as
he escaped and he suffered cuts
from broken glass when he dived
through the window
The dead Indian, Larry
Casuse. was a farmer president
of the Kiva Indian Club at the
University of New Mexico
District Attorney Ed Depauli
said Casuse was bitterly opposed
to the recent appointment of
Garcia as a University of New
Mexico regent
The club charged Garcia
exploited Indians
The other Indian, Robert
Nakaidinae, Fort Defiance,
Ariz., was charged with kid-
naping, attempted murder, and
lesser offenses
Depauli said the two Indians
walked into the mayor’s office
and then some shots were
fired," but no one was hit He
said they handcuffed Garcia and
disarmed Police Chief Manuel
Gonzalez Jr.
"They walked the mayor
down, handcuffed, to Sterns
Sporting Goods Store about a
block and a half away," Depauli
said Once inside, “the mayor
saw a chance to escape and
dived through a glass window
"They took a shot at him and
then the firing started between
them and police," he said
The Indians were armed with
a pistol and a shotgun and had a
large amount of ammunition,
police said
Coroner Charles Kettel said
Casuse was killed by a bullet in
the face "fired at close range,"
because there were powder
burns on the wound
The coroner said he was
withholding a ruling in the death
until after an autopsy, but
Depauli said it was the general
opinion of policemen at the scene
that Casuse killed himself
Thus far, the Indians did not
seem inclined to move
Fulbnght Commits Himself
Abourezk said that Sen. J.
William Fulbrighi had commit-
ted himself to launch a hearing
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee which he heads, into
the question of treaties between
the U S and the Indian nations
Committee hearings repre-
sented one of three key demands
by AIM leaders made public
after they seized the little set-
tlement, consisting mostly of a
church, a trading post and a
museum Near Wounded Knee is
a cemetery at which are buried
thn«p Indians who fell in a clash
with U S. Cavalry Dec 29, 1890
The Americans seized were
Ambassador Cleo A. Noel and
U.S. Charge d'Affaires Curtis
Moore They and RelgMii
Ambassador Guy Eld were
reported slightly wounded in the
shooting Others held were the
Saudi Arabian ambassador and
his wife and a diplomat from
Jordan
President Nixon told a news
conference in Washington that
the United States will do all it
can to secure the release of Noel
and Moore but that "we will not
get into blackmail demands. We
cannot and will not do ao ”
Omdurman Radio broke into
its broadcasts to announce that a
high-ranking U.S. State
Department official had been
dispatched to Khartoum to try to
win the release of the
Americans. It said the guerrillas
had been informed of his arrival
The official was identified as
Deputy Undersecretary of State
William Macomber, who left t
Washington Thursday night
Omdurman Radio said he was
scheduled to arrive in Khartoum
at 5 p.m. EST.
Noel, Moure and the Belgian
ambassador were slightly
wounded Other ambassadors
and diplomatic guests escaped
by fleeing through the embassy
garden and climbing a wall.
The Black September group
which staged the Munich
massacre of Israeli Olympians
said in a statement
“If the United Slates Belgi-
um, Saudi Arabia and Jordan
are keen on the lives of the
hostages all they have to do is
meet our demands without in-
terference or stalling
"There will be no exit from the
embassy The hostages will be
eliminated unless our demands
are met before 2 p.m. .7 a m
EST)."
In the two guerrilla com-
muniques broadcast by Omdur-
man Radio, they dropped
demands that Arab or Arab-
sympathizing prisoners in Israel
and West Germany be set free
They said they dropped their
demands against Germany
“because the West German
ambassador was lucky enough
not to be present at the recep-
tion.”
Negotiations Continue
Throughout the tense morning
two Sudanese government min-
isters negotiated with the
guerrillas.
