Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Warnke begin talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko on three unresolved points. They will meet outside the U N disarmament conference in New York and then in Washington to assess limits on new missiles, bomber deployments, and pilotless cruise missiles.

Michael A Brown area officials report a flood of complaints over missed pickups since the new contractor started May 16. Reed defends the transition saying early takeover caused equipment and manpower shortages at his firm.

McCarty says the ex Bowen aide voiced little enthusiasm for a transfer while the state budget agency inspection of Mounds on Friday drew no invitation or notice to the department. The Department of Natural Resources must file a report by November 1 to the Indiana General Assembly about Mounds Park and citizens may comment by letter to Governor Bowen.

Campbell and Rep Blevins push for greater state funding for Mounds Park and oppose a transfer to Anderson.
