Asked what figure he had in mind now, he said that would have to be negotiated and the proposed program would have to be discus- sed with congressional leaders first. The President repeated his un- alterable opposition to granting amnesty to Americans who fled the country to avoid the draft and service in the Vietnam War. He said those who refused to serve or deserted the armed forces would have to pay the price -and that price was not a junket in the Peace Corps. The President insisted that those Viet fighting slows; control force meets who refused to serve must face a criminal penalty for disobeying the law. If they did not want to return, they were welcome to stay in whatever country wanted them, he declared. The President spoke somewhat bitterly about anti-war dissenters who, now that the war had ended, were charging him with failure to terminate it earlier. Asked if he would grant am- nesty and so heal the wounds of controversy and division, he said some people were not taking pleasure from the peace agreement and it made one wonder if they wanted to heal the wounds. The President said he knew some'anti - administration report- ers listening to him gagged when he claimed he had secured peace with honor but it was true he had achieved that kind of a peace and most Americans realized it was drove to my bank here for somel routine chore. As I was about to turn into the parking area reserved for the bank's customers, I noticed a number of police cars with their beacon lights on and an ambulance parked round the bank. I assumed that the bank was being robbed, and instead of making the intended turn drove straight ahead to a near- by bookshop to browse through some new arrivals until the rob- bery was over. About 45 minutes later, I returned to the bank, cashed my check, and itwas only when I was halfway to my home that I realized that I had not in- quired of the bank clerk if anyone had been injured in the holdup. Five years ago, when I first ar- rived in Washington, my reaction to reports of violence here used to be considerably sharper. I was' appalled by the realization that almost half of the U.S. capital was unsafe after dark. I was shocked to notice salesmen and managers of stores in the city's business cen- ter conspicuously wearing gun holsters or having vicious-looking dogs within call. I lodged many a vehement mental protest against the suggestion from friends that when driving out in the evening even in the "safe" areas I must leave my purse and valuables at home and watch out for suspicious- 1looking individuals should I stop at a traffic light at an isolated cross- ing. Did I ever experience any such worries during my 21-year stay in Delhi, I often asked myself. Now, as my behavior on the two r e ce n t occasions indicated, I scarcely notice violence or the prospects for it that surround me. I accept its existence like the con- stant noise of speeding motor ve- hicles from a nearby thoroughfare, which bothered me much in the beginning but which I now do not even seem to hear. When going out Most of the Arctic's lands lose their covering of ice and snow in the summer. in the evening the removal of the purse from my coat is a ritual per- formed with about as much con- scious thought as devoted to the wearing of a necktie. During the recent Christmas, when a first sec- retary of the Indian Embassy was robbed while walking near the National Press Club early in the evening, the incident, despite the! fact that the victim suffered a knife injury on his hand, causedI among those of us who knew him more hilarity than concern. If a foreigner like myself can become so indifferent to violence, the acceptance of it by Americans, who have been exposed to it for a much longer period, is perhaps pardonable. Americans, it seems, are begin- ning to develop a dangerous toler- ance for crime. Instead of trying to'combat it, they may, if they are not careful, learn to live with the constant threat of personal vio- lence. Those who wish to enjoy their violence without having to pay for it at the movie theater may turn to their television sets. They will not be disappointed. If the Vietnam war is unable to provide the usual daily quota ofvmutilated bodies and gunfire, the void, it seems, may adequately be filled by news stories presenting ingreat visual details snipers burning down a big hotel and mowing down firemen and policemen, as they did in New Orleans recently, or gunmen taking a dozen hostages in a New York: store, or the report of some un- known persons who walked into al Washington home on a sunny after- I noon last week to kill three infants by drowning them in the bathtub and knifing four adults to death. Television viewers here, in fact, may hardly miss the Vietnam war. HAIRSTYLING As You Like It ! NEW TRENDS FOR 1972 TRIMS - SHAGS AND RAZOR CUTS 2 SHOPSC 611 E. UNIVERSITY 615 E.

Although the program is aimed primarily at low - income house- holds, Harris said that anyone, including students, could take ad- vantage of it. The assistance program is in full swing this week and will continue through mid-April, the point at which Harris expects the service to be inundated with the tradi- tional flurry of late filings.
