bobbing gaily colored balloons arid ice cream vendors ringing bells At the foot of the cross dozens of flagellants their naked backs scarlet with their own blood lashed themselves with bamboo scourges

I feel said It hurts Of course it hurts But when I am on the cross it is as if I am another person It is as if Jesus is helping me This is a sacrifice for the extension of life of my mother and my

in exchange for the newspaper heiress safe release But if she isn't heard from soon Weed said he will con- clude either she is dead or she will be soon In a television interview Thursday with Weed said the best thing the Liberation Army could do is demand a plane out of the country lake some money and set up life and com- in some other country I know that it could be ar- ranged because I've been working on that for several Weed said He declined to elaborate FBI agent Charles Bates said the Hearst family has sed such a proposal quite a bit I can't say too much about it right now because it's not really our said Bates special agent in charge here The SLA has to decide how they want to get out of this All we can do is try to cover the possibilities Unless some positive re- sponse is received within a Weed said I think it will become clear to everyone that this whole thing is a cruel hoax of some sort In the course of the last 10 days just the very suspicious nature of the entire

Federal Highway Administration have agreed to redesign the Interstate 8 Colorado River bridge to miss Yuma's water plant It will have an S shape The agreement was given by Norm Larsen of the California transportation division Trans in a meeting yesterday afternoon in Yuma with zona Highway Dept officials The meeting was opened with James L Smith of the highway department's Environmental Planning Div and Larsen stating each state's position on the bridge Larsen said his department found no disagreement at all in two areas California agrees with bringing the bridge lanes together with a safety railing between them and changing from six to four lanes and maintaining a 60 foot distance between the water plant and the bridge However the ment of the bridge could not be deflected on the California side because it would encroach on Quechan lands creating the necessity to negotiate with the tribe and more delay A proposed bridge alignment was presented by California which was a simple bow shape bending toward the Prison Hill side of the bridge The design brought immediate reaction from the Arizona side because it changed one of the control points the closest distance be- tween the Territorial Prison and the bridge span from to 100 feet Smith said he was afraid Arizona would have to re- open the environmental im- pact statement on the bridge to try to change that distance He objected because it took 31 months to get initial approval of the statement and to get the distance changed if it could be changed would probably re- sult in further lengthy delays All 17 government officials present at the meeting felt the bridge project should be ed as soon as possible After much discussion over delays resulting from changing the three control points of the bridge the distance from the Territorial the water plant and the location of the Quechan reservation ry the group decided it would be better to not change them Arizona presented its bridge alignment proposal which has an irregular Larsen and William Chin of Region 9 of the Federal Highway Ad- ministration objected to the appearance of the proposed bridge Chin said he was ed about how the people of Yuma would accept a bridge which had complex curves in it The California delegation finally accepted the fact the bridge would have an irregular shape Larsen said his office will submit design proposals to engineers in the Arizona way Dept as soon as possible California has the of designing the ture Strategic Arms Treaty Doubtful WASHINGTON AP Secretary of State Henry A Kissinger said today there would not be a permanent agreement this year on clear strategic arms limitations with the Soviet Union In a brief session with re- porters the secretary said it was uncertain whether the United States and the Soviet Union could achieve a partial agreement in strategic arms limitation talks This was the strongest public statement by any tion figure casting doubt on the likelihood of a SALT treaty limiting offensive nuclear weapons systems by the end of 1974 The State Department press office subsequently told re- porters that Kissinger did not intend to make a new policy statement Spokesman George Vest sued a statement saying the secretary was only repeating his past position However ther Kissinger nor President Nixon have stated on the ord that there would be no comprehensive agreement this year with the Soviets limiting offensive nuclear weapons President Nixon last month said he expected to reach a SALT II agreement with cow this year Kissinger made his ment following a two-hour breakfast at the State ment with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy cording to the Egyptian leader their discussion centered on the Middle East particularly the efforts to reach a military disengagement between Syrian and Israeli troops in the Golan Heights area The question is a central issue in later meetings today between Kissinger ident Nixon and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko The secretary said prior to the first White House session with Gromyko that they were likely to discuss all the issues to come up during President Nixon's expected June visit to Moscow He indicated SALT and the Middle East would be included The Kissinger statement on the lack of prospects for a per- manent SALT treaty this year follows the trend set by ments from very high State Department officials during and immediately following the secretary's trip to the Soviet Union late last month t Those officials said the at- tempt to define the issues in order to negotiate a permanent settlement had
