Trisler was pleased with the turn-
out and elated that Mother Nature
cooperated. “It rained on us last
year,” said Trisler, “and it looked
like it was going to happen again.
But we still had a good turnout, and
Mother Nature took care of us this
time — the same way the people we
are honoring today took care of our
country.”

Americans honor
their war heroes
By The Associated Press
The nation honored its war dead
at thousands of ceremonies large
and small on Memorial Day, in-
cluding a crowd of 15,000 at the
Vietnam Memorial in Washington,
while millions of Americans wel-
comed the beginning of the summer
season.
A holiday outing in Tillatoba,
Miss., was hit by tragedy when a
16-foot boat carrying eight people
capsized, killing six young women
aboard the overloaded craft as well
as a man who tried to rescue them,
authorities said.
The operator of the boat said the
occupants were enjoying a slow
“joy ride,” splashing water on each
other, when the accident occurred
Monday afternoon.
A total of at least 340 people died
on the nation’s highways as of mid-
night Monday, according to a
state-by-state count by The
Associated Press.
The National Safety Council had
estimated that the long weekend
would claim 380 to 480 lives in traffic
accidents. Last year, 416 people
died, the Chicago-based council
said.
Although most of the country en-
joyed sunny holiday weather, a
snowstorm hit the West on Sunday,
dumping up to 10 inches of snow on
southern Utah. Up to 6 inches of
snow fell in Wyoming, where
rangers closed large sections of
Yellowstone National Park.
Strong winds battered the Cal-
ifornia coast, and helicopters
plucked 17 boaters from a beach on
Santa Catalina on Monday. On Sun-
day, the stormy seas apparently
claimed two victims in separate
boating accidents.

on opposite sides of the road-
way, Craven said.
Killed in the wreck shortly
after midnight were Jose Vital,
17, and Cerillo Hernandez, 21,
who were both pronounced
dead at the scene, he said. El-
pidio Perez, 19, died about 1
a.m. at Parkland Memorial
Hospital, a spokeswoman said.
“People wouldn’t put their
fine china in the back of a truck,
and yet they would put the most
precious possession, which is
another human life,” Craven
said.
Guadalupe Cruz, 13, was the
only one of the injured to re-
main at Parkland and was in
serious condition Monday, a
spokeswoman said.

Gorbachev--
Soviet Union, also met over lunch with writers,
film makers, artists and others.
The surprise visit to Red Square threw the offi-
cial summit schedule out of whack. Reagan told
one cluster of people that, “What we have decided
to do is talk to each other rather than about each
other and it’s working just fine. ’ ’
Shultz and Shevardnadze also signed an
agreement providing for joint tests this summer in
Nevada and at Semipalatinsk of U.S. and Soviet
devices to measure the force of blasts.
Explaining why Gorbachev and Reagan did not
sign the pacts, Soviet foreign ministry spokesman
Gennady Gerasimov said, “It’s too small for them.
It‘s important, but not that important. ”
Another agreement, extending for three years
and expanding U.S.-Soviet cultural exchanges,
was signed by Charles Z. Wick, the director of the
U.S. Information Agency, and by Soviet Culture
Minister Vasuky Zamharov.
Gorbachev told reporters at a Kremlin signing
.ceremony that his morning one-on-one meeting
with Reagan dwelled on economic questions.
“I criticized the position of the president and the
Congress which has put very many roadblocks on
the path of development of healthy economic co-
operation,” the Soviet leader said. “The president
considers that we need to move more actively to
improve this.”
Nancy Reagan, meanwhile, broke away from
the presidential party and flew to the Baltic city of
Leningrad, where she viewed the treasures of the
Hermitage Museum, housing 65,000 pieces of art,
and was visiting the summer palace of Peter the
Great, scene of revolutionary Soviet history.
Halfway through their four-day meeting, Re-
agan and Gorbachev seemed at ease with each
other. They chatted and laughed together Monday
night at a state dinner in the Kremlin’s frescoed
and icon-covered Hall of Facets despite lingering
differences on human rights, arms control and
other issues.
Nevertheless, Gorbachev told Reagan they
should conduct their business “without interfering
in domestic affairs, without sermonizing or im-
posing one’s views and ways, without turning fam-
ily or personal problems into a pretext for
confrontation between states. ”
Reagan said they should continue searching for
common ground. Underscoring his lobbying cam-
paign, he gave Gorbachev a videotaped cassette of
an old American movie entitled “Friendly Per-
suasion,” depicting a story set in the Civil War era.
Meantime, the American contingent here was
growing. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd and
Bob Dole boarded an Air Force Boeing 707 in Wash-
ington to fly here to attend a ceremony at which
Reagan and Gorbachev will exchange the docu-
ments of ratification of the intermediate-range
nuclear forces treaty. The treaty was approved by
the Senate last Friday and the Soviet Presidium
the following day.
In the absence of agreement on a new, major
arms treaty on strategic nuclear weapons, the
already-ratified accord will serve as the crowning
element of the summit windup on Wednesday. Re-
agan bids Gorbachev farewell on Thursday and
flies to London. On Friday, he returns home.
U.S. officials said several cultural and bilateral
agreements were ready for signing today. The two
sides have been working on a three-year extension
of the educational and cultural exchanges signed
by the two leaders in Geneva in 1985. They also
were expected to sign agreements on fisheries,
cooperating on search and rescue operations at sea
and the exchange of transportation technologies.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said
that Reagan and Gorbachev had discussed on
Monday—but found no agreement on—Reagan’s
plans for a “Star Wars” space-based anti-missile
defense, the biggest obstacle to a START
agreement to cut superpower nuclear arsenals by
30 percent to 50 percent.
Soviet spokesman Gennady Gerasimov reported
there was progress in two of the most biggest ob-
stacles to a treaty, involving mobile missiles and
cruise missiles fired from warplanes.
However, a U.S. official, while reporting pro-
gress, was not as upbeat. The official, who refused
to be identified, said there still were problems in
agreeing on how to count the air-launched cruise
missiles.
As for land-based mobile missiles, the official
said, “we haven’t heard a verification scheme we
think will work.A. I would not expect closure” on
the problem.
Gorbachev, in his Kremlin dinner toast, said:
“Oiir main task continues to be the working out of
an agreement on 50 percent reductions in strategic
offensive arms while observing the ABM Treaty,”
the landmark 1972 agreement between the super-
powers limiting missile-defense systems.
Reagan, in his answering speech, said: “I intend
to pursue the search for common ground during
the months left to me as President. When I pass the
job on to my successor, I intend to tell him it is a
search that must be continued. ”

He and I went into the U.S.

both did a tour of duty in the

“I don’t want to go back
there, but I felt this might be
my only opportunity to see

SAMMY LORING Rudolph of
Elgin, Ill. writes that she’d love
to obtain information about her
great-grandfather John Lor-
ing.
According to Mrs. Rudolph,
Loring was said, to have been a
“man of means,” who owned
Cooke County property back in
1840.
“He was killed by a one-
armed slave near Rosston,
Texas,” Mrs. Rudolph revealed
in her letter. “This happened
Feb. 12, 1957, so there must
have been an inquest or hear-
ing.”
If any of you readers have
any information on Loring, let
me know. I’ll pass along the in-
formation to Mrs. Rudolph.
