Man Declares War On Peace Symbol
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. (UPI)— William Brogan, a woodbridge service station owner, is staging a one-man war on peace signs. He refuses to service cars that carry blue and white antiwar stickers.
Last Thursday, 16 people in a caravan of 11 cars with peace bumper stickers on them pulled into Brogan's station and requested service. He refused, and the people, students at Middlesex Community College, refused to leave.
"I'ts an out and out Communist symbol as sure as there is still light."
"I refuse to serve any and all vehicles with that hate sticker on it," said Brogan, who runs a gas station on Route 1 here.
Shortly thereafter, several Woodbridge police drove up, and after reportedly threatening
to arrest the students, members of the Middlesex County College Students for Peace, the 16 students left.
They were followed closely by police, who twice chased them out of parking lots. One student said he was ticketed when the temporary license on his new car came unglued from the windshield and fell out of sight.
Red Cross Begins Airlift For Hostages of Hijackings
The students threatened to file charges against Brogan under state statutes that prohibit discrimination in public accommodations. But the state division on civil rights reported Wednesday that no claim had yet been filed.
Brogan denied he discriminated against the students. "I did not deny any service to an individual. I just denied service to their vehicles."

The International Red Cross began an airlift of medical and sanitary supplies Thursday for more than 250 persons held hostage by Arab guerrillas aboard three hijacked jet airliners in the Jordanian desert. There was no reported progress on negotiations for their release.
"The situation of the passengers is becoming more and more precarious," said Alain Modoux, a spokesman for the Red Cross in Geneva.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), whose members hijacked two of the airliners Sunday and the third Wednesday, has said it will blow up the planes with the passengers aboard unless seven Arab guerrillas imprisoned in Britain, Switzerland and West
Germany are released by 10 p.m.
EDT Saturday.
A 72-hour extension of the deadline, originally set for Wednesday night, was worked out by the Red Cross and the guerrillas after the third hijacking and was the last progress reported in the negotiations at the desert air strip northeast of the Jordanian capital of Amman.
Switzerland has agreed to free the three Arab commandos it holds and West Germany is ready to do the same with three there, but Britain has not made an official announcement of its intentions.
Informed sources in New York in touch with the negotiations indicated a complication had developed—that the guerrillas want to release only the non-Israelis aboard the planes in exchange for the seven commandes held in Western Europe and negotiate separately with Israel for the release of others held in Israeli prisons.
Israeli Premier Golda Meir said Thursday in Tel Aviv that Israel opposes releasing imprisoned
Arab guerrillas in exchange for the passengers. She did not say flatly, however, that Israel would refuse to release commando prisoners if such an exchange was part of over-all ransom arrangements.
Those in the planes, parked in a semicircle on Dawson's air strip 45 miles northeast of Amman, complained Thursday about a lack of water and food when interviewed briefly outside the planes by newsmen.
The Red Cross airlift, flown from Beirut, Lebanon, to Amman and then scheduled to continue by truck to Dawson's field, included medical supplies such as salt tablets, aspirin and sanitary goods such as insecticide, deodorants and diapers as well as blankets and three tents.
Cadaver Donations Increasing At University Medical Center
"We need food and water," said Susan' Potts, 21, of Huddersfield, England, one of the 116 persons aboard the BOAC VC10 airliner when it was hijacked Wednesday after takeoff from Bahrein in the Persian Gulf.

Eight years ago there were almost no people willing to donate their bodies to science. Now many of the fears have been cast aside, and the number of donations is increasing yearly.
Dr. Howard Matzke of the University of Kansas Medical Center said that in the past few years more people have been donating their bodies to science. There are about 175 donations pledged to the Medical Center each year, and
this number is steadily increasing.
"There is no single type of person who will donate his body," said Matzke. "People of all ages and social classes do it for reasons ranging from wanting to do something for society to beating the cost of funeral arrangements."
The procedure for donating a body to the Medical Center is reasonably simple. There are two forms that must be filled out. One is kept by the Medical Center and
the other is kept by the donor
the other is kept by the donor. Then a letter of instruction is provided to the donor as to how the Medical Center should be contacted after the donor dies and what arrangements can be made to transport the body from the place of death to the Medical Center.
Payment for donating your body, Matzke said, "is a fallacy held by many people. We do not pay people to donate their bodies.
