Washington Congressman Peter Kyros said the Army explanation for awarding the M16 rifle contracts did not satisfy him and that Maremont Corp.'s Saco plant should have won. He praised a full inquiry by Chairman Richard Schord and the call for all award materials.

Montana Indians Given New Hope
A 850000 federal state project at the University of Montana moves entire Indian families off reservations to campus for basic education. Trainees gain reading writing arithmetic and home economics while children attend public school and early childhood care on site. Half the families receive campus housing and BIA subsidies while they pursue a 24 to 26 week program. The effort aims to reduce dropouts by engaging the whole family and placing graduates in suitable work with support services.

Chorst, a 44 year old ex psychiatrist from Brooklyn, blames American pressure for the lack of recognition while his cafe and nightclub the Third Eye along Vientiane's Junky Strip attract hip travelers and cash-poor patrons.
