A 22 month old, Eric Coburn, son of Mr and Mrs Lyle Coburn, became lodged with a leg in a cellar pipe at 2845 Wet Blond Street. Squad 7 removed pipe and a doctor gave sedatives to ease distress as firefighters worked to free him.
President Carter outlined a negotiating strategy calling for major reductions in nuclear weapons with a fallback position of far less ambition. He said the US and USSR should seek substantial cuts from current totals, possibly around 1,800 launchers and bombers each, down from about 2,320 US and 2,660 Soviet. Inflation was forecast at about 6 percent and an anti inflation package was planned for Congress within two weeks. He also signaled possible steps to admit Vietnam to the UN and normalize ties if Hanoi cooperates on MIAs.
Rutgers nutritionist Robert Squibb demonstrates trained chickens can press a three-button sequence to obtain food, with success after 7 to 10 days for new patterns.

Greensburg steelworker Robert Cowell, a private UFO researcher for the Pennsylvania Center for UFO Research, plans weekend visits to Jefferson and Clearfield counties to gather firsthand accounts of sightings.

Cowell will seek physical evidence and possible explanations, aided by his meteorology and aerodynamics training.
Four mentally retarded persons died in a fire in Dexter New York early today after waking to flames and panicking authorities said the four had been living with the Leroy Sprague family under a state program after leaving Sunmount Developmental Center in Tupper Lake.

The Public Utility Commission ends the moratorium on utility shutoffs effective April 1. Corry residents with delinquent bills must catch up or risk disconnection. National Fuel Gas plans to follow standard procedures, warning bills and three days notice before shutoffs, with notices to the PAC. The PUC notes 650,000 arrears across 15 major gas and electric firms, including 200,000 overdue more than three months, and warns that despite stretchouts many were late before winter.
Federal grand jury charges Evelyn Knight, a former English housemaid, with bilking Wayne Newton of $800 and eight others of $200,000 while seeking $1.2 million from a Bolivian developer. Two men, Melvin Weinberg and Patrick Admiri, also face fraud counts. Knight held for trial in Pittsburgh late spring.
Washington AP reports organized labor suffered two blows this week. Congress rejected a bill expanding construction picketing rights, and the Carter administration proposed a minimum wage increase far below union demands. AFL CIO president George Meany calls the move shameful as labor pressures continue for reforms in the 95th Congress. Senator Bob Dole warned of consequences for Carter if elected, signaling intensified political stakes.
In the first months of the new administration labor faces a mix of defeats and victories. Meany aides note overconfidence may have hurt momentum, while recognizing gains in some areas. The AFL-CIO warns wage policy and right to work issues will complicate legislative aims this year.
