"I am ready to meet your de

Weinberger told the kidnaper in
a prearranged message carried by
newspapers and a night television

Weinberger said he was convinc

his home in this fashionable sub

But police cautioned against ov

said another call would follow.
McCaffery, in his 11 p.m. news

himself in a pay phone booth in
the NBC Building and asking the
kidnaper to call Trafalger 4-8053.
By midnight, the phone rang 25
times but no further contact was
made with the kidnaper. Most of
the calls came from crackpots,

Fluoridation Opponents
Petition For Election
ASTORIA 11 Opponents of
fluoridation filed petitions Friday
to force a vote on the present
fluoridation of water in Astoria
and Gearhart.
Gearhart, the first city in the
stato to fluoridate its water,
seemed likely to continue fluori
dation, regardless of the outcome
of any vote.
Gearhart, which voted to begin
fluoridion of its water in 1951, gets
its water from Warrenton, which
began fluoridation last year. City
Manager E. R. Baldwin of War
renton said he knew of no way
Gearhart could de-fluoridate.
Previous to the time Warrenton
began fluoridating, Grearnart
added fluorides to Its branch of
the water line.
Tho petition filed in Astoria had
700 signatures, that in Gearhart
had 51, enough to put the measure
on the November ballot in both
cities.

WASHINGTON to Immigra

Swing says it was "incidental" to
his job that he went hunting dur
ing visits to Mexico and Canada
in government planes, jeeps and
air-conditioned trailers.
The main purpose, Swing told
a House Government Operations
subcommittee Friday, was to es
tablish better "working relation
ships" with border officials of
neighboring countries, to coordin
ate plans with them and gather
information.
And he added he plans to con
tinue the practice unless the com
mittee orders it stopped.
Swing defended his actions as
subcommittee chairman Mollohan
(D-WVa) and staff investigators
questioned the retired general
about what Mollohan termed
"hunting trips" using government
equipment.
Swing, a West Point classmate
of President Eisenhower, was the
target of a previous subcommit

of two other retired generals to
Immigration Service posts. This
time he was interrogated for two
