Rome, May Z CAP).-Italy's
new president is a shy law pro-
fessor and agriculture enthus-

the training program for over

ferent story-and she told it

She said she was dropped be-

Mr.. Adams said the Fletcher

we're concerned" But Senator

Mrs. Fletcher said younger

Puerto Rico camp stayed UP

justice to any Army training"
Mr.. Shriver said he couldn't
imagine anyone in the train
ing camp cursing the Texas
Schoolteacher. He said night
discussion groups were allowed
to drink beer, but there was
no moral laxity."
He said Peace Corps selec-
tions are based on merit, not
politics. race, religion or age.
I'VE have said from the be-
ginning that Peace Corps
standards would be high" Mr..
Shriver said. "They have to
be and we don't intend to relax
them because Of political pres

Mr.. Adams said Mrs. Fletcher

from the Brazil-bound group.
Every Peace Corps applicant

understanding that there will
be no final selection for over

He said three people over 60I

In Jerusalem, the govern

A KOL Israel spokesman said
the station was not aware Of

The Telegraph said "at least
