Mrs. Binh linked the hope for prisoner release with previously stated conditions-total with- drawal of U.S. forces, uncondi- tional halt to U.S. bombing and an end to support for the South Vietnamese government. ''We do not want to keep them (U.S. prisoners) one day longer than necessary,\\ she said. CONCORD, Calif.

Niagara River Raft Capsizes in Whirlpool! NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (UPTD) -Plans to launch tourist rides down the Niagara River rapids below the falls were in a \hold status'\ today after one of the rubber rafts, with 'six persons onboard capsized Wednesday in the swirling waters of the whirl- pool. No injuries were reported in the mishap which was witnessed by hundreds of persons, mostly tourists. \The raft just hit a big wave at the mouth of the whirlpool and it went over,\ said Dennis McAdorey of Niagara Falls, Ont. manager of the Spanish Aero Car which operates across the whiripool. A spokesman for the Niagara River White Water Tours, Inc., said the accident would cause a \minor delay\ in the sched- uled start of the commercial venture. The Aug. 1 target date had already been set back \a short while\ by a need to work on ramps leading into the water, 'the spokesman said. The passengers, including George W. Grider, an official with the tour group, clung to the overturned raft as a com- panion raft began towing it out of the whirlpool about one mile downstream from the falls. Police said the line linking the - two crafts broke, sending the distressed raft back into the spinning waters of the whirlpool. The second raft, with 16 per- sons on board, eventually res- cued the other craft and its passengers before continuing on to Lewiston. Some of the passengers of the capsized raft were described as rivermen from Texas. The rafts are 30 - feet long and carry up to 20 passengers each. The firm made test runs in May, including one with Alex- ander Aldrich, state commis- sioner of parks and recreation. When the firm plans for the venture, Grider had told newsmen \We're sure it's safe, and we'll certify it's exciting.\ __ The initial test ride May 24 marked the first time since 1861 that a stretch of the Lower Niagara River had been subdued successfully for business reasons. The any other time was when Capt. Joel R. Robin- son piloted a Maid of The Mist excursion boat Lthrough the choppy river en route to Mon- treal. The boat! was heavily damaged and he then. retired. \I just bou Loralyn Klym, Brockport, N.Y. Maverick has so many lovable traits: Chic styling. .. Easy handling and parking.

MEDINA, N.Y. | PH. 798-2550 Vandals Cause Death WENDOVER, Utah (UPI)- The deputy sheriff in this desert town 101 miles from a hospital says a 14-year-old boy died because vandals slashed two tires on his squad car. \I don't know who cut the tire,'' Deputy Marion Carter said Wednesday. \But he will have to live with what I've been living with-I hope.\ Carter said he was rushing Jimmy Carlos to the Tooele Valley Hospital when a tire blew out in the middle of the salt flats. While the car was stranded, a portable oxygen supply which was sustaining the youth ran out. Carter said the tire had been slashed by a vandal who left a cut that could not be seen. He said he had no spare tire because that had been slashed last week and was not yet repaired. He said the boy, who barely survived after taking 97 depres- sant pills three weeks earlier, started to suffocate again. Carter called an ambulance, but the boy died an hour after arriving at the hospital.

C Eli-I‘lf: SL Sins \How CAN we have a meaningful discussion about my allowance . ..\ \. . . when all you sa: is ‘NO’?!,¥' * Panel Report Accuses Police in Incident ITHACA, N.Y. (UPI)-A spe- cial report accuses local police of \unprofessional and unaccep- table'\ conduct in breaking up a May 13 \block party\ attended by about 1,500 persons. Mayor Edward Conley said today the findings of the 13- member investigatory panel he {named \will be taken serious- f y.” The 10 - page report,.issued Wednesday night, made 19 sug- gestions for improvements stem- ming from the clash in the Col- legetown section, bordering Cor- 'nell University. The recommendations includ- ed creating a civilian review board to hear complaints about police conduct; sewing name labels on police uniforms; and having Cornell emphasize to students that vandalism \will not be tolerated.\ About 20 youths were arrest- ed as city, county and state po- lice dispersed the crowd that had gathered for a street dance. The report said, however, police apparently misunderstood the activities, which occurred follow- ing two nights of window smash ing during antiwar protests. When police learned of the block party, the panel said, they related it to the violent events of Wednesday and Thursday evenings and made a connec- tion between the two. \'There was no question the police were subject to verbal abuse and later to the throwing of rocks and bottles,\ the com- mittee found. Thus, it said that on the 13th, \given the provocation and the opportunity to respond to it, some policemen gave vent to their long - suppressed emo- tions; even granting the provo- cation, such actions by those entrusted with upholding the law are clearly unprofessional and unacceptable.\ The group also found - that there was \poor communica- tion:' between the police and students, over the purpose of the gathering. In the two previous days of troubles, the city police chief had been hit on the head with a rock, and later required sev- eral days of hospitalization. Nev- ertheless it was reported that Bixby Named State | Campaign NEW. YORK (UPI Rockefeller has been asked by President Nixon to place the President's name in nomination before the Republican National Convention next month, it was learned today. The move was viewed as in- dicative of the close relationship between Nixon and Rockefeller, who is chairman of the Presi- dent's re-election effort in New York State, and a move de- signed to demonstrate GOP par- ty unity in contrast to the frag- mented Democrats. Rockefeller and Nixon were bitter rivals for the presidential nomination throughout the 1960s but have become reconciled since Nixon's nomination in 1968. In other developments, the governor told a news conference Wednesday that one of his top aides, Burdell Bixby, 57, a New York City attorney who heads the State Thruway Authority, will serve as campaign director for the statewide Nixon re-elec- tion effort. Bixby ran Rockefel- ler's successful re-election cam- paign in 1970. Nixon lost the Empire State -by 400,000 votes in both years.

Rockefeller also announced Fioravante G. (Fred) Perrotta, a former New York City finance administrator, will head the ef- fort in New York City and Craig Thorn of Hudson, a Young Re- publican, will coordinate upstate suburban work. \We have, frankly, the best campaign organization we have had at any time,\ Rockefeller said. \It is going to be a tough campaign, but the instructions are that we are going to go all the way.\ - - Rockefeller, whose money and organization were not totally be- hind Nixon after the governor lost the nomination to Nixon: in 1960 and 1964, announced this year he would .be chairman of the state Committee to Re-elect . the President. Nixon lost the Empire state by 400,000 votes in both years. No Republican presidential hope- ful has carried it since Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. Nixon's national campaign di- rector, Clark MacGregor told the news conference that New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois and Pennsylvania, were gm five key states in this elec- tion. \We are determined to carry all five in 1972,\ MacGregor said. . Questioned about rumors that Rockefeller might take a posi- tion following the election, Mac- Gregor replied that this. was a matter for Rockefeller and Nixon to decide but that person- ally he felt Rockefeller \is competent to handle any position in the government of the United States.\ Rockefeller, when asked if -he planned to serve out his term as governor which expires in 1974, replied \I have every in- tention to.\ MacGregor accused the Dem- ocrats of practicing \the politics of exclusion'' with the proced- ures at the convention to insure greater participation by women, - youth and minority groups. \'When we talk about the 'open door' let's open it wide,\ MacGregor said. \Let's wel- - come those over 50 as well as . t those under 30.\ F Men Helpless To Aid Hurt Child GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPD)- A school principal, a doctor, policeman and firemen could \only stand and watch\ for 70 minutes Wednesday while a 5-. year-old girl cried in agony with her finger caught in A layground ride. P Tigey were helpless to do anything, they said, without\ permission from Melinda Gra- ham's parents, who couldn't be readily located. , - J.J. Finley School principal Matthew Paramore said he had the - authority to make the decision to do what seemed best to free the child, \but I would have left myself liable for any consequences.\ He said he didn't know what the consequences would be, 'Lord only knows-whatever her parents might have done.\ He said if attempts had been made to free the child and it caused more damage to her hand, he could have been sued. A call to the state attorney's office while the search for the parents was being conducte verified that fear. P After the parents were found, Melinda was taken to the University of Florida Medical Center. Doctors failed to save the tip of her left index finger, which was severed through the bone at about the base of the fingernail. Paramore said the girl was playing on a revolving \Jungle Jim\ ride and stuck her finger into a hole on the shaft which turns the ride. The finger slipped into another hole inside the shaft and the finger was sliced. < s aAsHED - soup coror TEE SHIRTS $1.29 Choose from seven colors. | All with chest pocket. Sizes Small to Ex-Large.
