TEXAS AVE. 846-26^5 HOUSE DRESS CODE [Text to Luby's United Press International NEW YORK — Saffron- robed Buddhist monks on the last leg of a 13,000-mile walk for peace led four groups of inter national protesters toward the United Nations for Monday’s special session on nuclear dis armament. Upon arriving at Dag Ham- merskjoid Plaza, one of the monks was to hand a torch — lit on Mount Olympus last month and carried to the United States for the peace events — to a child who will take part in a five-day “Children’s Walk for Life” around the United Nations. At noon, church bells in New York, London, Moscow, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro were sche duled to peal for 10 minutes on behalf of world peace and an end to nuclear proliferation. March organizers said 1,000 children wearing white wings would perform the opera “A Thousand Cranes,” inspired by the death of a 12-year-old Hiroshima victim. At a welcoming rally at the United Nations, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, the widow of activist Martin Luther King, and others were to make a plea for worl dwide nuclear disarmament. The Nipponzan Myohoji J apanese monks, some beating and drums and carrying enor mous peace banners, set off in four directions around the world in April 1981 on the march to support the U.N.’s Second Special Session on Dis armament, starting Monday and continuing through July 9. Marchers left from San Fran cisco and Los Angeles on Oct. 24, 1981 bound for New York, and from New Orleans and San Diego on Jan. 1, 1982. Other walks began at Bangor, Maine, on April 1 and at Montreal on April 3. When the children’s walk ends on June 12, each child will leave a photograph of a friend at the U.N. for “safekeeping” and join the Saturday rally in Central Park in which an estimated 500,000 marchers are expected to participate.

The justices rejected an appeal by Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma which had contested rulings that uphold the constitu tionality of the 1978 Natural Gas Policy Act as it applies to natural gas sold inside the same state where it is produced. The high court’s refusal to review the controversy comes at a time when President Reagan is considering full decontrol of natural gas prices. Reagan, however, has agreed not to push Congress to act on decontrol un til next year. Congress passed the act in 1978 in an effort to ease a natu ral gas shortage by placing price controls on intrastate markets and by creating a unified nation al price for various categories of “new” gas found after February 1977. ^ The case before the justices began when the three states filed suit against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, urging a federal district judge to de clare the act unconstitutional. The district court upheld the constitutionality of the act in all UwT_ JM f PAY TEN CHILI & BAR-B-Q TEAM PRESENTS THE 3RD ANNUAL JUNE 13 BAR-B-Q & CHILI COOKOFF AGGIES!
