The conference will be under the direction of the First Presidency and will be attended and participated in also by members of the General Authorities and executive representatives of the auxiliary organizations who will journey to England from Salt Lake City.

After receiving confirmation that the prisoners had arrived safely in Santiago, the kidnapers reportedly telephoned the Brazilian Embassy Friday night and told where Bucher could be picked up. Embassy sources said Swiss First Minister William Roch' received the call anu drove away to get the kidnaped ambassador. Roch arrived at B u c h e rs residence early today driving a car with diplomatic plates, and the ambassador, wearing dark clothing and dark glasses, was beside him in the front seat. The ambassador told his sister, Anne Marie Maillot, his servants and some embassy officials: I thank the Brazilian government for having helped me. Im very touched by the death of agent Helio. This was a reference to Kelio de Araujo, a guard who died from gunshot wounds he received in the kidnaping. I didnt see anything because I was immediately blindfolded and I have no idea where I was, Bucher said. I thank everybody for everything done for my release. As the ambassador spoke, Roch interrupted and advised him not to go inio details before a new conference scheduled later today. The ambassadors younger brother, Rodolfo Bucher, said in Geneva: I am very happy after this long wait. I hope he will now take a rest of several weeks, and I expect him to stay here for some time. Bui I really have no d idea about what plans he might have. In Bern. Swiss government officials sighed with relief that Bucher had been freed. They had kept a vigil since the kidnaping took place, and the news of Buchers release was telephoned to Bern from the Swiss Embassy in Rio. Bucher was kidnaped Dec. 7 when his car was ambushed on a quiet residential street. Witnesses to the operation said seven men and a woman blocked the street with two cars, shot the guard and spirited away the ambassador in other car. The Brazilian military government was tougher in deal round-the-clo- ing with Buchers kidnapers than it had been in other abductions. It turned down their demands to publish a political manifesto and grant free rides on commuter trains and negotiations agreed to free only political prisoners as ransom. Authorities even turned down three lists of prisoners before an agreement was reached. The selection of prisoners to be freed stretched into weeks, and agreement was reached only last weekend. There followed another unexplained delay, and there was speculation that police and soldiers were being given one last chance to find the kidnapers hideout. during y A Full Week For The U.S. Jets A-- A Deseret News Legislative Writers Attack Sites Again - The U.S. SAIGON (UPI) Command today reported two American air strikes against antiaircraft sites inside North South Vietnamese Vietnam. forces claimed control of a bitterly contested mountain pass in the campaign to clear Cambodis lifeline to the sea.

ELLIS and CURT BURNETT The State Senate and House wound up their first week of the 39th biennial session Friday afternoon with a considerable record of achievement. The five days of legislating saw 55 bills and 11 resolutions introduced in the Senate, 62 bills and five resolutions in the House and five bills passed by each body. In addition, the groups took time out to hear Gov. Calvin L. Ramptons State of the State and Budget messages which gave them reference points from which to shape their own, programs. The 10 bills passed by the two bodies dealt with subjects ranging from state governmental reorganization and arson investigation to the designation of a state niamal and state fish.
