SEOUL (AP) — North Korea continued to celebrate
# the 20th anniversary of its Communist regime Monday
' but gave no indication it would release the 82 captive
i crewmen of the Pueblo in honor of the occasion.
Rumors had circulated in Seoul for several days that
the Pyongyang government would free the Americans
; * captured aboard the U. S. Navy intelligence ship last
; i January 23, and North Korea's Central News Agency
had promised "important reports” on a special Sunday
i • broadcast. But there was no word of the Pueblo or its
men from the Communists.
"We have nothing official and we've adopted a wait-
and-see attitude," said a U. S. military spokesman in
; ' Seoul. U. S. officials in Seoul believe that if the North
» ^ Koreans decide to release the Pueblo's crew, they would
>,first notify U. S. officials at the Panmunjom truce vil-
^"iage and then free the men later in front of newsmen to
maximum publicity. But the U. S. military said it
Z* Ijiad received no request for a meeting at Panmunjom.
lljBishop’s Guns "Backfire’
LONDON (AP) — A Roman Catholic bishop's report-
'll «d remarks that killing birds with a shotgun is his favor-
It* sport threatens to set off a controversy among British
Zt animal lovers. „
The Catholic Herald, a weekly newspaper, quoted
Zt Rt, Rev. David Cashman, 55-year-old bishop of Arundel
Zl And Brighton, as saying, “I’m mad about shooting
ZZ birds and animals. It’s the nearest thing to heaven, in
tJJ. human terms, that I know."
Ark. a Catholic animal welfare organization, was
-r considering a protest over the remarks. A vice president
'Z said, “This amounts to a scandal.”

: Czech News Is Resumed
VIENNA (AP) — CTK, the Czechoslovak news agen-
v*; Cy, resumed service to foreign clients Monday, saying,
•t "We apologize to our subscribers for the interruption of
« our transmissions due to circumstances beyond our con-
jfctrol.”
Zh\ The official agency stopped its newscast in English
;t;on August 21. the day after Soviet-bloc troops invaded
• s.Czechoslovakia. It said in its final message at 11:40
J#;p.m., that it had "just been occupied by foreign troops.”
Soviet troops left the agency’s headquarters in
•t-Prague on Tuesday, and technicians started working on
.'•’the line to Vienna. The first news item after resuming
•?‘operations was a report that “the arrival of foreign
*! troops in Czechoslovakia paralyzed production in heavy
»t-industry and the resulting losses have provisionally been
♦f ^assessed at 1.626 million crowns", $227,640,000. The item
-hsaid the information came from Rude Pravo, the Com-
Jj-munist Party newspaper. _

The most
important question
to ask before you
buy insurance
Ask the man, “How many
insurance companies do you
represent?” If he says just one—
slow down. He doesn’t have much
choice to offer you.
Stands to reason you’re better off if you buy home, car or
business insurance from an agent who represents several
companies. An independent agent. He has a choice.
That’s why he can give you sound, impartial advice’aboul
which policy is best for you. And help speed a fair, fast settlement,
whenever you have a loss.
So you see buying insurance is really very simple. You
pick the agent. Let him pick the company.
This symbol is your assurance that we are professional
independent agents.
