Kill me! Kill me!’’ and holding a gun in one hand and a student hostage in the other, was shot dead by po lice Tuesday when he emerged from a Roman Catholic elemen tary school. The gunman and two other men sought refuge in the school after fleeing police, authorities said, and held 44 children and four adults hostage for almost two hours in the school’s base ment cafeteria. The other two gunmen later surrendered after talking with a Peoria police officer, the broth er of the slain gunman and a community action agency em ploye. The dead man was identified as Melvin Burch, 25, of Peoria. The student he held hostage, Committee OKs Pot Law Reforms AUSTIN <A>)—The Senate Jur isprudence Committee voted 8-4. Tuesday for legislation that would make first offense posses sion of up to 4 ounces of mari juana punishable by a maximum sentence of 7 days in jail and a $200 fine. By an identical 8-4 vote, the committee approved a compre hensive bill overhauling all Tex as drug laws, including the same provisions on marijuana as the first bill. Both measures now go to the Senate floor for debate. The House will debate its version of the drug bill Thursday. Sen. Tati Santiesteban, D-El Paso, chairman of the subcom mittee that wrote the bills, said he would not offer the one that deals only with marijuana unless it became obvious that the com prehensive bill cannot pass. “What I’m very fearful of is that this Senate will not pass any drug legislation,” Santieste ban said. He said he wants to be sure there is a chance to reduce Tex as’ penalty for marijuana pos session—two years to life, the stiffest in the United States— before the next legislature meets in 1975. The comprehensive bill is the one advocated by Gov. Dolph Briscoe, but it was amended 24 times in subcommittee. Like the single shot marijuana bill, it provides that possession of four to eight ounces will be punished by a jail term up to six months and-or a fine up to $1,000. More than eight ounces would carry a prison term of 2-10 years and-or a fine up to $5,000. This same penalty would apply to the sale of marijuana. Giving a quarter of an ounce or less to another person would be punish able in the same way as posses sion of up to four ounces. Both bills provide that the es timated 400 to 500 men in the state penitentiary on marijuana charges, and the estimated 40,000 Texans who have been convicted in marijuana cases, could petition the judge who sentenced them for resentencing under the new law. This would reduce most of those felony cases to misde meanors.

Dana 2- 4Day Deliveries ^■L»CT*rr8lt“ I WASHINGTON (/P) — W h i t e House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler publicly apologized to the Washington Post Tuesday for past harsh criticism of its inves tigative reporting of the Water gate conspiracy. Asked if he would apologize in the wake of President Nixon’s tv-radio statement Monday night that a “vigorous free press” helped uncover the truth about Watergate, Ziegler replied: “Yes, I would apologize to the Post.V He then volunteered an apolo gy to Post reporters Carl Bern stein and Bob Woodward who, he said, vigorously pursued the story, deserved credit for their work and are receiving it. “When we’re wrong, we’re wrong,” the White House spokes man said. Last Oct. 25, Ziegler charac terized the Post account as “a blatant effort at character as sassination that I do not think has been witnessed in the politi cal process in some time.” In his remarks today, Ziegler said, “I think we’d all have to say mistakes were made ... I was overenthusiastic at that time in my comments about the Post ... It was an overstatement.” “I will dignify with comment Mr. Ziegler’s apology; it’s en tirely welcome,” said Harry Ro- senfeld, metropolitan editor of the Post and the man in charge of the work done by Bernstein and Woodward.

Sal Pisano of the Peoria police said the men rushed into the grounds of St. Cecilia’s School at 2:30 p.m. following a robbery of a Peoria variety store. Sister Anne Delores, a teacher, said the men first entered a classroom in a small building near the school, where she was working with a class of 24 stu dents. She said the men marched the entire class and about 20 other students they picked up on the playground into the cafeteria in the basement of the main build ing. Meanwhile the building was surrounded by between 40 and 50 city county and state police and FBI agents, said Pisano. These were ultimately joined by an estimated 5,000 spectators, he said. Sister Anne Dolores said that one of the gunmen was shooting at police through the windows, then turned to John Ardis, a 6th grader and son of Alderman James Ardis, and said “you come with me.” AUSTIN (A*)—Three state ref resentatives said Tuesday tfe will file complaints against state comptroller’s office fort leged discrimination against it nority groups and women. u D They said the charges wool A&M Chandl fishing be filed at the San Antonio o! needs i fice of the Equal Employmet trating Opportunities Commission, tli season federal enforcement agency (» equal hiring laws.
