Page 12 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1981 National Feal Rain didn’t deter mourners Bradley buried in Virginia United Press International WASHINGTON — America said farewell Tuesday to Omar N. Bradley, the “G.I.’s general” who commanded U.S. troops on D- Day, with a hero’s funeral and bu rial on a rain-swept hillside at Arlington National Cemetery. Mourners gathered at Washington’s National Cathedral for an uplifting service to pay final respects to Bradley, a foot soldier and general of the army who died last Wednesday at 88. The half-hour mifitary funeral, attended by Vice President George Bush, Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Defense Secret ary Caspar Weinberger and a host of high-ranking mifitary and poli tical officials, combined some of the best-loved Christian songs and most comforting texts. The congregation sang Martin Luther’s martial hymn, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,” and heard this reading from Isaiah: “The Lord has annointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted. ” ll I I I H I SPECIAL BUY I SPUD AND GET A 2ND SPUD (LEAST EXPENSIVE) FOR '/z PRICE.

A riderless Morgan horse — symbol of a fallen leader—walked alongside the caisson during the hour-long trip across the Potomac to the Virginia hillside gravesite. surrounded by the rows of white stones marking the graves of many of the men who fought beside him. The last of the nation’s five-star generals, Bradley was born in a small Missouri town in 1893. He was a classmate of Dwight Eisenhower at the U.S. Mifitary Academy, graduating in 1915 — “the class the stars fell on” because so many of its members earned general’s stars. During the funer al, the Army Chorus sang the West Point Hymn. Such a solemn mifitary cere mony for Bradley was last seen in Washington at Eisenhower’s fun eral in 1969, with one difference: As former president, Ike had a 21- gun salute. Budget office letter asks for ZIP code cost figure United Press International WAS HINGTON — The Office of Management and Budget wants the Postal Service to justify the proposed nine-digit ZIP code with a cost-benefit analysis, an OMB official said Tuesday. The official said a two-paragraph letter sent to Postmaster General William Bolger Friday “simply requests the service to provide a regula tory analysis” of the proposed addition of foir more numbers to current mail-routing codes. A Postal Service spokesman said Tuesday he could not confirm whether Bolger received the letter, sent by James C. Miller, executive dire ctor of a cabinet-level task force on regulatory relief. The OMB official, who asked not to be identi fied, said the budget office is “not suggesting we know more than they do,” but the Postal Service “should be conscious” of the economic impact of the added digits. Although Miller’s request set no deadline for the cost-benefit report, the official added, “I us United Press I VIENNA, Ausl on which coi think it’s safe to say that since the post m believes this should go into effect, it is in interest to do so as fast as they possibly can you read, thekillii The independent Postal Service is not direr dren in Atlanta she answerable to the executive branch, but Azi Party in the OMB official said, “I think the SupremeC the Reagan Admi may h something to say about that. of concern for th< “We don’t anticipate they (the Postal Senisicas preoccupatic will make a federal case out of it,” he added P The Atlanta k He said the OMB has “no intention tovf-PI 16 important their move if their analysis shows it is Jp^paganaa —- in j . countries of East doing. a • u, % He added that “the real truth of the matter#! > in . state " r be resolved in Congress,” which is considprii.W^ az ‘ nes or w * re legislation that would prevent the nine- from taking effect.

Besides the 23 black chil dren killed, two are missing. Webster, in an interview re ported in the Atlanta Constitution and the Washington Post, repe ated a statement he made earlier this year — authorities are certain they know the killers in three or four isolated murders. The Con stitution reported he would not discuss why no arrests were made, but Gooderham said it was be cause “there’s not enough evi dence to indict.” “I really think we are getting to a point where we should have a break coming,” said Webster. Fulton County District Attor ney Lewis Slaton denied reports his office wanted to hold off on seeking indictments in isolated killings until the mass murderers had been arrested. “If it’s an isolated case and we have sufficient evidence, we’d go ahead with it,” he said, but he said he has “not been made aware of sufficent evidence to secure in dictments in any of the cases. ” In another development, sources said a computer had pro duced a list of 600 1966 Chevrolet station wagons answering the de scription and partial license tag of that in which the latest victim, Larry Rogers, was last seen. The last person known to have seen Rogers when he disappeared March 30 said he was riding in an old green station wagon, driven by a black man with a heavy mus tache. Police have issued a compo site drawing of the man and sources said investigators and a special police task force handling the killings are checking out the United Press 1 llRVING — A last week indicate :eive worse hea with nation :e programs tin ations with nc th plan. ;The report, a NAACP criticizes budget United Press International PITTSBURGH — The NAACP plans to urge congressmen to oppose President Reagan’s prop osed budget cuts, which it says are potentially devastating to the poor. “We reject as economic sim plicity the theory that cutting the budget can reduce inflation and unemployment,” NAACP Execu tive Director Benjamin Hooks told a news conference Monday. “It’s a reverse of Robin Hood— taking f om the poor to give to the rich, ” he said.
