It wasn’t his first hit song, but was by far his most important. Last summer I worked at the fun center of the Southwest, Busch Gardens in Houston. One day as I passed an elderly cus todian, I noticed he was whistling the theme song from the “Hercu les” cartoon series. Puzzled at why a 60-year-old man would openly show affection for a dumb cartoon show, I stop ped and addressed him. Grayson: Sir, wasn’t that the “Hercules” theme song you were whistling? Custodian: Yep, sure was, son ny. Grayson: But, sir, what does a dumb cartoon have with your life? Custodian: Dumb! Why if it hadn’t been for that little jewel, I wouldn’t have lost 20 pounds in the winter of ’65 (the old man then began laughing and slapped me on the shoulder which was swollen due to a recent tetanus shot). Grayson: (fighting back the tears) Please explain, sir. Custodian: Little Johnny is my son! Grayson: John Wayne, sir? Custodian: Naw, Johnny Nash, the singing star. So went the first of many en joyable conversations with the amiable John Nash Sr. Johnny Nash Jr. got his start one day while caddying at a Hous ton golf course. The first time Johnny yelled “fore,” one of the golf club owners stopped in mid swing and asked Johnny to repeat his warning, which he gladly did. U. S., Cuba Reach Accord On Hi jackings WASHINGTON An agree ment on curbing hijacking appar ently has been reached between the United States and Cuba, President Nixon indicated Tues day. And the State Department said a note received from the Havana government over the weekend “made it clear only procedural details remain to be worked out.” Department spokesman Charles W. Bray expressed the hope that these details will be worked out over the next days. Cuba has been a favorite haven of terrorists who seized control of planes in the United States and forced pilots to fly there. Of late, however, there has been an ap parent hardening of the Cuban at titude toward these hijackers. President Nixon told reporters casually that some type of agree ment had been reached with Cuba and he referred further disclo sures to Secretary of State Wil liam P. Rogers. However, Rogers was out of town and the State Department declined to discuss any of the substance of the agreement. Bray said the time intervening before a public announcement would be taken up by consultations with Congress as well as clearing up the final procedural details. LEADERSHIP TRAINING CONFERENCE At The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, Texas FEBRUARY 16-18, 1973—Friday Evening - Sunday Morning Speakers: Dr. James Flamming Mr. Vernard Johnson Mr. Charles E. (Bud) Lovell Mr. Frank Pollard Mr. Benton Williams Everyone Is Invited • Bring A Friend There Is No Registration Fee. For Free Housing — Contact Toni AT THE BAPTIST STUDENT UNION — 846-6411 The man turned out to be a KPRC television station executive. Next day he signed Nash to a three- year contract on a local t.v. va riety show. From there Nash moved to New York to be a regular on Arthur Godfrey’s radio program. Besides singing the “Hercules” theme song, he also starred in a couple of movies before devoting himself entirely to the recording business. While on a Caribbean tour in the early ’60s he stopped in Ja maica, liked it, and has been in and out ever since. He set up a record company and in 1967 came out with “Hold Me Tight,” which hit number one in Jamaica, Eng land and the U.S. Today, Nash, 32, is back in the states making his first American appearance in seven years. His music is classified as both “pop” and “soul” due to the unique musical arrangements of his ma terial, usually referred to as reggae, more or less. Nash’s voice reminds me of Smokey Robinson, only Nash sings his lyrics more clearly. As a whole, Johnny’s album “I Can See Clearly Now” is an enjoyable thing, with a bunch of lively “pop” songs on it. The simple lyrics be gin to drag toward the end, but the buoyancy in Nash’s voice pre vents them from becoming too repetitious. SAIGON (A*)—Hanoi said it will release 20 more American prison ers of war from North Vietnam in a few days, and the four-party military peacekeeping commission here was summoned into session Wednesday to make the arrange ments. At the same time, Col. Bui Tin, chief spokesman for the North Vietnamese delegation to the commission, said the second group of American prisoners of war held in South Vietnam will be released in 10 to 15 days, possibly near the same site where 27 U.S. pris oners were freed Monday. South Vietnam and two in Laos still in captivity. The Pentagon indicated that North Vietnam’s action apparent ly is a goodwill gesture following a four-day visit to Hanoi by U.S. presidential adviser Henry A. Kis singer, who negotiated the peace agreement under which all Amer ican prisoners of war are to be freed by March 28. Kissinger arrived in HongIJ earlier Tuesday for a twonl stop before continuing on king on Thursday for talks Chinese leaders. mp Tin said he had no details on the impending release of the 20 prisoners in North Vietnam. Friedheim said the Pentagon was informed of the release by North Vietnam through “com munications channels.” He did not elaborate but said the message apparently was connected with Kissinger’s postwar discussions with the Hanoi leadership. Kissinger had said he expet^ that all of the American prisoi will be released in four in^ ments of roughly equal numl in two-week intervals. The pai agreement signed in Paris onJa 27 states only that all prisoi® are to be released within 60 da] or by March 28, and makes specific time provisions.

Friedheim, spokesman for the Defense Department in Washington, said on Tuesday the Pentagon had received the list of names of the 20 Americans to be freed in North Vietnam and their families were being notified. Included on the list are four Navy men and 16 from the Air Force. Car Rally Set For Saturday is detern only tv red. Tie victo break al A total of 116 American pris oners were freed by Hanoi on Monday in addition to the 27 re leased in South Vietnam. The re lease of the additional 20 will bring to 163 the number of Amer ican prisoners released by the Communists in both the North and South, including eight civil ians. It will leave 320 American prisoners held in North Vietnam, 99 in South Vietnam and nine in Laos. These include 19 civilians in A&M Sports Car Club drivers take to Brazos Valley roads Sat urday for a St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Rally.
