Group's ads urge freeze on weapons
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Laughing children are playing in a lot and the television announcer comes on and says one-third of all American children "believe that they will die in a nuclear war."
"Are we moving them closer to peace or closer to war?" the announcer asks.
He urgues the audience to "join the debate" in a pro-pace, pro-arms control radio and TV campaign on commercially paid "spots" and newspaper ads that began Tuesday and will continue for two weeks. The ads will appear in Washington, D.C. Illinois; New York; and Connecticut; Ohio; South Carolina; Michigan and California.
THE OPERATION WAS explained at a news conference by spokesmen for the Committee for a Strong Peaceful America, described as a non-partisan group that comprises many tax-exempt secular and religious organizations, who freeze and arms agreements with the Soviets to avoid a nuclear holocaust.
This effort is not aimed at the general public or candidates but specifically at "suburban white men and women, white men ages 20 to 40 and Catholics."

Board grants parole for lawyer
By United Press International
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Attorney Mary Evans, apologizing for the first time for engineering the escape of her convict lover, was granted a Feb. 4 parole from prison yesterday on the condition that she receive psychiatric help.
The 3-2 vote by the Tennessee Parole Board means Evans will serve less than 11 months of her three-year sentence for aiding the escape of William Timothy Kirk, 37, whose crimes include the execution-style killing of two convicts at Brushy Mountain State Prison.
"I regret it very much," said Evans, 28, who was on the run with Kirk for 139 days. "There's no doubt
PURETED BY THE DEFENSE during her trial as a schizophrenic who saw "demons" and looked on Kirk as her savior, Evans told the board she smuggled a gun to Kirk and helped him escape from a psychologist's office because she was convinced he would not receive a court warrant.
in my mind that it was a serious mistake."
"I felt tremendous pressure to do something and legally there was nothing I could do," she said. "Rather than commit a crime I would do everything I could do legally and then my conscience would be clear . . .
"At the time I felt I knew how the case would turn out, and it wouldn't have been the right result," she said.
"I participated in the plan but I didn't make any suggestions what to do because I didn't know what to do."
Parole Board Chairman Nevin Trammell, who cast the deciding vote, said he agreed because of his involvement with the time she committed the crime.
Evans said she regretted the embarrassment the incident had caused family and friends and had to have further contact with Kirk.
"MG TOING TO RECOMMEND parole with the provision that you go to a bona fide mental health specialist." Trammell told Evans.
Evans said she plans to live with her parents in Knoxville and do college work.
Court increases guard after threat
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court increased security yesterday in the wake of a death threat allegedly made by an anti-abortion group against Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, who wrote the court's 1973 ruling legalizing abortion.
Guards were doubled at the two main entrances to the marble Supreme Court building, and three more police officers were posted inside the red velvet-draped court entrance of the justice hear oral arguments.
All nine justices were on the bench yesterday, including Blackmun, as
the court heard routine arguments on four pending cases.
THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING a letter to Blackmun allegedly from the "Army of God," a group which has claimed responsibility for attacks on abortion clinics around the country.
Justice Department sources said the envelope bore the return address of "D. Maguire, Marquette University, that there was no signature on the letter."
In Milwaukee, Marquette University theology professor Daniel Mugure said a group opposing abortion would take action on the letter Blackmun received.
Maguire, who has argued against the official Catholic teaching that
abortion is morally wrong, said the Army of God put his name on the threat to Blackmun to "bit two birds with one stone."
When the FBI visited him at his home last week, Maguire said he offered to give them a sample of his signature, but they declined it.
Maguire said he was involved in organizing a full-page advertisement in the Oct. 7, 1948 edition of The New York Times in his room for pluralism in Catholicism.*

REASON#4 TO CALL YOUR PARENTS:
YOURROOMMATE.
Your parents told you that your new roommate might have a few idiosyncrasies. They weren't kidding.
But they never told you how much fun it was going to be working out your differences.
So call and tell your parents all about the fights at 3 AM, the tantrums at 5 AM, and the laughing when it's done. They'll be glad to hear you're working it out.
So go ahead, call your parents after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates drop to their very lowest.
Your parents will be glad to hear that you're still in good hands.
