But the estimated 600 U.S. prisoners hgre will not be swapped for the 1,200 Mexicans held in the U.S. until Congress ratifies the treaty, a process which could take about six months. The treaty, believed to be the first of its kind between two countries in peacetime, was proposed by the Mexican government last June m order to ease one of the major irritants between the U.S. and its southern neighbor. Drug Convictions Under its terms, the American prisoners will be able to choose whether to stay here or return home. Hie great majority of them are serving sentences of up to seven years on narcotics convictions. The American government was committed to making those who return serve out their full sentences, despite the fact that narcotics laws are more lenient in many American states and that Mexican trials are held without a jury. If any Americans are released early by their own courts, the treaty obliges U.S. federal authorities to them and ship them back to Mexico. Some ta Stay of the Americans, particularly Some those who have nearly completed their sentences, have told reporters they will stay here. Although many at them have complained of police brutality during initial interrogations, convicted prisoners often enjoy an easier life in Mexican jails than they would in the U S. Regular conjugal visits are allowed in most prisons here and convicts with money of their own can obtain food and many other comforts without restriction. The text of the agreement was drafted at a meeting in Washington last rested each year in the U.S. for illegal entry, since they are not considered to be criminals. The treaty is mainly designed to remove complaints about the treatment of Americans here, and the Mexican government was not expected to press hard for the return of all its own nationals. 16 A J after month two EiT WASHINGTON President-elec- t a BUCHAREST, .5 v -- " A chief-of-staf- Mickey Mouse parades gaily dowa.

He has come to recognize the only way is to cooperate and take advantage of the congressional budget process, said one congressional source. Between Carter and the budget committees, he could have an impact on the 1978 budget. The budget committees will have a big unpact anyway. Carter already has named as budget coordinators on his transition team former top staff members from the House Budget Committee and the Congressional Budget Office, which decision. Lacks Budget Staff But sources close to the budget committees said it was logical that Carter would agree to the procedure, since he lacks a budget staff of his own. If Carter chooses this course, it could mean that Ford's budget would be little more than a throwaway document within a short time after it is submitted to Congress on Jan. 17. The proposal for a joint Carter-Congrebudget originated in the House and Senate budget committees.

Youd think theyd at least let me go out with a flair, like in a Jimmy Cagney movie. It hasnt been easy, being a turkey. Weve been getting picked on for almost 500 years.

For every pound of (shudder) dressed bird, I was expected to gobble down 2.5 pounds of that gruesome combination. They say we are so dumb that we frequently drown ourselves m our water dishes.
