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.

Court refuses to overturn
natural gas regulations act
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court Monday refused to
take up a major challenge to the
complex and controversial fed-
la
eral law that controls natural gas
prices.
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
