commander-in-chief of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars said here Saturday he has
learned the Justice Department is
allowing persons who evaded the draft
during the Vietnam War to escape
prosecution by enlisting now for a
two-year term in the service.
Patrick E. Carr, a Metairie, La.,
attorney, said the practice is a form of
amnesty, which his organization has gone
on record as opposing.
“If they, the evaders, come back after
its all over with no danger and let them
serve their time, they might as well make
them page boys in the Pentagon,” said
Carr, who was a prisoner of war in
Germany during World War II.
Carr said he learned of the policy after
hearing rumors and sending repeated
letters to the Justice Department, which
finally answered his queries two weeks
ago.
“That may be an easy solution to the
Justice Department, but we don’t feel it is
.fair to the men who did serve,” Carr said

Both Conrad and Weitz, he said, are “in

America’s newest space heroes are
scheduled to visit President Nixon and
Soviet Leader Leonid I. Brezhnev Sunday
at the western white house in San
Clemente, Calif.
The astronauts will be flown from this
carrier by helicopter for the two-hour
presidential visit.
Doctors said the astronauts’ two-hour
stay at the western white house will be
under strict medical control. The
spacemen are still in a post-mission
quarantine period and their contact with
other people is carefully controlled.

top administration officials have said that
funds in excess of budgeted amounts will
be impounded, and not spent, even if the
President accepts the full bill. The
$19-billion bill was 8461 million above the
President’s budget.
And despite a spate of court decisions
against various impoundment actions, .
none is yet final nor likely to be for quite a
time, signifying a delay in determining the
constitutionality of the method used by
Nixon to cut domestic spending.
Meanwhile, separate proposals dealing
with the presidential impoundment of
money voted by Congress are slowly
moving forward.
The Senate, which already included an
anti-impoundment rider and a $268-billion
-spending ceiling on one bill, may take
similar action this week when it considers
the "must” bill to extend the federal debt
ceiling.
The Senate bills would block presidential
impoundment, unless both houses of
Congress went along with it.
The House, meanwhile, is considering . .

Partnership Best
Energy Solution
. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. AP - Texas Gov. •
Dolph Briscoe told other southern
governors Saturday “it is obvious” that
the federal government and the states
have failed to work together in trying to
solve the energy shortage.
"The federal government and the states
must work in harmony and establish a
partnership to find the best solution,"
Briscoe said. “It is obvious here
today-end in Texas-that this has not been
done.”
Briscoe’s remarks to a Little Rock
seminar on power and energy called by the
southern Governor’s Conference were
released by his Austin office.
“In my judgment,” he said, "the
mandatory allocation of supplies at the
federal level would do irreparable damage
because we are operating with a fuel
energy chain that is simply different from
the gasoline rationing situation such as we
experienced during World War II."
Briscoe said a state-by-state inventory is
needed to solve the energy problem.
The inventory should include the amount
