Cleland told the committee the progran had exceeded n akeup of the 370 vet center employees already on duty. He said 75 percent are Vietnam-er- a veterans and, of those, 48 percent are Vietnam combat veterans and 25 percent are disabled veterans. Some 59 percent of those employees are white, 30 percent are black, 10 percent are Hispanic and one percent are American Indian, he said. n These patterns in ent reflect not only a sensitivity to the needs of em-ploy- Vietnam-er- a veterans, but also an awareness of the special emphasis which ii ust be placed upon M inority groups," Cleland said.

Wouldnt you sleep better at night knowing you had the protection of a quality smoke detector? s, . ENERG-y- ETC., ETC., Etc-- , Home Sweet Home. Comfortable. Cozy. Familiar. And a potential deathtrap. Homes are filled with materials and products that pose potential fire hazards to you and your family. Stoves, electric circuits, cigarettes, stored fuels, fireplaces, space heaters and matches are only a few of the many sources of fire within the home. The National Fire Protection Association reports that each year fire is responsible for some 6,500 deaths and more than 200,000 injuries in residences. Many Americans, however, still dont recognize potential fire hazards or take the proper steps to protect their homes from fires. Fires develop in three stages. In the first stage, invisible particles of combustion are produced. No significant an ounts of smoke, flame or heat are present in stage one. In the second stage, smoke can be seen but little flame or heat is present. In the third stage, the flame becomes visible. Fires are often referred to as slow, smoldering fires, or fast, flaming fires depending on the source of the fire. An overloaded electric circuit or pile of rags may take days to complete the first stage when only invisible particles of combustion are produced. This type of fire is considered a slow, smoldering fire. Other sources may cause fast, flaming fire within seconds. Grease spilled on a hot stove or paper in a wastebasket goes through the three stages almost instantly. Most fatal home fires occur between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m., when the family is asleep. By the time someone in the house becomes aware of the fire, often its too late to escape. The smell of smoke wakes some people but not everyone. Many home fires smolder slowly for a long time before bursting into flame. During that time, toxic gases, including carbon monoxide, are being produced. If a person happens to le sleeping when these gases enter his room, he probably wont wake up. Fire departments, fire and safety experts and insurance companies endorse smoke detectors as one of the most effective ways to prevent you and your family from the dangers of fire. papsr It published weekly at Roy, Utah 5388 1900 W.

This 359-261- 9fln THE REVISED VERSION In Grenada, Castro was instrumental in bringing Prime Minister Bishop to power through a coup last year. In return, Bishop has accepted Castros offer of 600 advisors to train his army and police and to supervise the education of the island's children. Bishop has also agreed to allow the Cubans to build a modern airport capable of serving as a refueling stop for Africa! bound Cuban transports. Castro appreciates the importance of the Caribbean to the political, economic, and military security of the U.S. He to rouse the U.S. from its lethargy with respect can to Caribbean affairs just as he approaches success. Thus he is likely to employ any strategem, including deception, that n ight confuse, delay or attenuate an American response to his efforts. But whether the boatlift was a deception or a spontaneous event, Castro has managed to use the boatlift to cast himself as a ruler weakened by its domestic effects, seeking normalization rather than confrontation. The longer this image lingers in the mind of the American public the more difficult it will be for the government to take the necessary steps to deprive Castro of his impending victory. spectacle ay have been an elaborate deception perpetrated by Castro on the U S. A successful deception depends on the willingness of the enemy to be deceived. It should appear to the enemy as a development he has long anticipated and prepared for. It should appear as an opportunity to be exploited rather than a new danger to be guarded against. Having convinced the enemy that he is in control of the situation, the strategist can then move to accomplish his rea1 objective. In the case of Cuba, the American people have generally been suspicious of any claims of success for the Castro regime. The well publicized reports of recent months exposing the inefficiencies of Cuban industry and the failures of the sugar and tobacco crops have undermined Castros icputation as an effective leader. The rush of nearly 90,000 people to leave the island served only to confirm the belief (hat Castro was in deep political trouble. Castro immediately signaled his interest in the proposal by imposing order on the flood of refugees and eventually For by indulging the belief of the U.S. in his own weakness and directing attention to the issue of normalization, Castro has gained new freedom to pursue his real objective, the export of revolution to the nations of the Caribbean. The Panama Canal Treaties made obvious what many Caribbean politicians already knew, that is, that the United States can no longer decisively influence the politics of the area. In exchange for Soviet economic and military aid Castro has allowed the Russians to make extensive use of Cuba as a forward base in their struggle with the U.S. This had the two fold effect of providing Castro with credibility an ong the revolutionary leaders of the region and shielding hmi from U.S. interference in his efforts. Today, Castro is on the brink of success. His support of the Sandanistas made their victory over Sonioza possible. The 2,000 Cubans still in Nicaragua serve as advisors to the Sandanistas on economic, military and foreign policy. S. 1 These advisors have also been instrumental in supporting the left wing guerillas in El Salvador, who are engaged in a bloody civil war against the right wing planters and the troops of the newly formed junta: In Jamaica, Castro has advised Prime Minister Michael Manley to ignore the protests of his people over the ever more repressive tactics used by Manley to convert Jamaica into a little Cuba. By Stephen A. Cambone c Public Research, Syndicated, 1980 Secrecy, not openness, is the hallmark of international relations. The reasons given by a nation for its actions may have little or nothing to do with its real intentions. In n pting to divine those intentions it is sometimes helpful for the analyst toapply his imagination (as well as his training), to the problem. The recent boatlift of refugees from Cuba is a case in point. The conventional view is that Castro allowed the refugees to leave because they were disruptive to his regime. This in turn is taken as a demonstration of the tenuous hold Castro has on the affairs of Cuba. Why else should he fear the old people and young families that arrived in Florida by the tens of thousands? A n ore unconventional view of the event is that the whole Utah 84067. 18, devised." Schmidts sen- tence could have been as much as 15 years in prison and $11,000 fine. In a written plea, Schmidt agreed to cooperate fully with the Internal Revenue Service and the Secret Service in identifying the false returns that he filed and recovering the fraudulent checks which had been issued. He also agreed to reimburse the government for the money fraudulently obtained. false returns averaging each more Altogether, there were 108 about $4,000 than $400,000. As a comptroller for the Salt Lake firm, Schmidt used his knowledge of computers and access to individual names and social security numbers to prepare and submit the false returns. He was arrested in late March by Criminal Investigation special agents of the Salt Lake City District of Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Secret Service agents. His scheme was uncovered following a report furnished by an alert bank employee who had suspicions about Schmidt who had opened a bank account under another name, which he intended to use in passing the refund checks. He pleaded guilty last month to one count of submitting false returns, in violation of Title 18, Section the U.S. Code, and to another count of forging a false refund check, which is in violation of Section 495 of Title 18. Judge Winder sentenced Schn idt to three years imprisonment for filing the fi audulent return, and sentenced him to three years probation for the forgery charge. 287 of Schmidt told the court that about a year ago he became obsessed with a goal, thought that he was smarter than everyone else, and he wouldnt be caught.
