Steven Senecal, son of Mrs. Carolyn Senecel, I960 Crest Street and Allen Barrett, 1744 Crest Street, son of Mr. end Mrs. Allen Barrett, forego sleep to pursue the wily worms that come to the surface of lawns only at night. For the uninitiated, the worms, sometimes a foot long, which are hunted with flashlights and tucked into dirt in small containers to "make them happy," are sold for 20 cents a dozen. The jingle in ths jeans of the two enterprising young busi nessmen will help pay their way to camp. So if you fish and "wanna worm" patron, ize the firm of Senecal and Barrett on Crast Street.

Sitting at the center of the stage of the beautiful Salle de Fetes (hall of feasts and festi vals! of the Elysee Palace, the official residence of the Presi dents of France, he refused to join the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union in their Mos cow agreement for a limited ban on atomic tcsis and spurned the idea of an East-West idea of a non-aggression pact. He announced flatly that France will call for a meeting "among interested parties" before the end of the year to take up France's own. disarmament proposals (which, presumably, would be a conference of the four nuclear powers, the U.S., the Soviet Union, Britain and France i. He asserted disdainfully that "the Moscow agreement has not lifted tlie atomic menace which weighs on the world. None of the signers has renounced the use of atomic weapons and under these conditions the world situation has not changed in any way." So- He said in substance A BETTER agreement must be leached. So France w ill lead the way to this belter agreement. That seems to have been about tlie size of the fantastic session arranged by Fiance's fantastic . President. He took occasion to say that while differing sharply with Wash ington on policy, France's friend ship w ith the United States is his toric. W hat is his idea of w hat should be done? He put it this way: The French contention is that A 1. 1, nuclear arms must be JUNKED, along with their dcliv ery systems, and all (nuclear' production halted, to bring all nntinnc dnun in the non-nuclear! level under INTERNATIONAL j supervision. He concluded: "If one day the Americans and tlie Russians DISARM and come to tlie destruction and prohibi tion of nuclear weapons. France will then refrain from procuring them herself, but the Americans and the Russians don't seem to be at that point yet." He rejected any non-aggression pact between NATO and the War saw Pact of Soviet bloc states of Eastern Europe. He said France would never consent to a deal by tlie Anglo-Saxons and the Russians "over France's head." Furthermore, he added, "such a treaty would be completely needless as far as France is con cerned since France will never strike the FIRST blow anyone." i)11T'(?l'')l1' Let's not go off at half-cock. Charles de Gaulle is a strange and mystic figure. Before making up our minds, let's wait and watch a little longer. Let's pet the picture a little more sharply.

This became evident today as more and more senators indicat ed they were keeping an ocn mind on the agreement reached in Moscow by the United States, Britain and Russia. Many senators said privately they were waiting to test the sen timent among voters back home.

Director Hossein Khatibi of the Iranian Red Lion and Sun Society said aid had been sent to the vil lage but reports of a disaster there were not true. "It was not serious," he said, "Reports were evidently exagger ated." Gagum, a mud hut village, is near Bandar Abbas, a city off the Persian Gulf that was Iran's ma jor trading port with the West during the reign of Shah Abbas I in the 17th century.

Chairman John Slennis, D-Miss., said. One question troubling many senators, notably Republican Leader Everett M. Dirkscn, III., is the pact's "veto" provision, which forbids any amendment to the treaty except by unanimous agreement of tlie three original signers Another is the exact meaning of its "withdrawal clause," which would allow any member nation to pull out of the agreement in case of a violation. A third point is tlie possinle restriction on use of nuclear blasts for purely peace- time uses, such as excavation for can be airlifted to join them well within the time the ships require to get' to their destinations." It was learned that the Penta gon is discussing plans for trans Pacific training exercises in which large numbers of troops would be flown in jet transports to join up with the "prc-posi-tioned" combat stocks in a test of the floating depot scheme. A force as large as a division about 15,000 men might be moved, but no decision has been made. Any such exercise likely would come later than the divi sion - sized jet airlift now being planned to Europe, possibly this year.

At the meeting of tlie State Nat ural Resources Committee, the governor called for labor and management to get together to end the spreading lumber labor industry shutdown. Hatfield said the strike-lockout could have a disastrous effect on the state's largest natural re sourcetimber. He explained that the manpower needed to fight forest fires is now- dispersed and it would be difficult to get together if a blaze broke out. Logging and mill crews form a substantial part of the slate's delcnse against forest fires. "It would take just two or three days for the weather to dry out the -forests and if a fire broke out they would become a veritable in ferno," Hatfield declared.
