Cranston said his support of
the treaty is based primarily
on assurances by the joint
chiefs of staff and the
secretary of defense that
America "can do all we need"
to remain strong militarily,
even with SALT II.
The major issue, Cranston
said, is whether Russian
compliance with the treaty
can be monitored.

He said it is hard to predict

heritage. Try "Montezuma’s
Revenge” — already sub-

"El Slicko” has been
suggested, along with “Oil of
Ole,” a Spanish takeoff on the
name of a popular beauty oil,
and "Slick Gonzalez," named
after nobody in particular.

Others are aiming for a
name capturing the physical
characteristics and per-
sonality of the oil, such as this
one: "Oily, Soily, Ooey,
Gooey, Gobbly Goop of
Texas." If that’s a little too
elaborate, there’s always
"The Glob,” “The Black
Plague," "Rude Crude," or
“GooRoo.” \
Some feel a simple name
would be appropriate,
something like ’Slidk,"
“Earl." "Oiliver,"’ if it's a
boy, or "Oilivia" if it turns Out
to be a airl. One child
scrawled in blue crayon that
the slick should be named
"Bob." Nothing fancy, just
plain old Bob.
Program director Dan
Daniels said KYRS, a con-
temporary station aiming at
the 15-35 age group, has gotten
67 entries, many favorable
calls and only one complaint
from someone who felt the
contest was in bad taste.
We are not poking fun .at - - •
something we know will cause
a lot of heartbreak and
damage.", said Daniels, who
originated the contest and is
its judge. "We know the oil
will cause us millions of
dollars in damage, drive away
our tourists and stain our
beautiful beaches.
"But we just want to show
people that we can still smile
sometimes in the face, of
adversity," he added.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — That monstrous
Mexican oil spill has been
threatening the South Texas
coast for a month and a local
radio station figures it’s about
time the menace had a name.

smile, in the -face of the
potential disaster, is spon—

Carey said. "The resolution is
recommending to the Senate -
they need to make some
changes and test the Soviets. ”
These changes include
limiting Soviet Backfire
bomber production, reducing
the number of Soviet heavy
missile launchers and
maintaining a strong U.S.

Legion Wednesday.
Another resolution over-
whelmingly approved by the
convention offered legion
membership to Vietnam-era
veterans previously excluded
because they served before
passage of the Gulf of Tonkin

official start of the "conflict.”

vote.” _ _______...... ■
Cranston also predicted, ■
however, that the Senate ■
would "leave its mark on the
treaty " through amendments
Passage of the resolution
changing the membership
rules of the legion came as a Mg
surprise to Carey because, in 88
doing so, the delegates
rejected a committee
recommendation that present 1|||
rules be maintained.
The resolution opened
membership to Vietnam-era
veterans who served before
Aug. 5, 1964. Previously,
veterans who had served prior
to that date and after the
Korean War were considered
to have served in peace time.
The resolution moved the JH
eligibility date back to Dec. 22^
1961, when the first U.S.
"adviser” was killed. About
300 Americans died in Viet-
nam before the Gulf of Tonkin
