FRESNO (UPI- An AWOL Marine, who last Monday claimed a sniper shot him in the leg, actually was shot by a friend at his request to avoid assignment to Vietnam, a Fresno County sheriffs deputy said today. Sgt. William Cunningham said Robert Barnett, 19, AWOL from a Marine base in North Carolina, was shot in the left leg above the knee by Kester Rhodes, 20, Fresno. Cunningham said the two youths at first told deputies they had stopped briefly on a mountain road in Madera County near Friant when three sniper shots rang out. They said one of the bullets hit Barnett in the leg and two others smashed into the windshield.

However, Cunningham said Rhodes admitted he actually fired the shots and said he would do it again to help his friend avoid going to Vietnam. Cunningham said Barnett told him he was a conscientious objector and several times had written to his congressman. Rep. B. F.

SAN DIEGO (UPI) -Impacting meteorites, striking the forming surface of the moon with incredible force, may have formed "instant mountains creating frozen tidal waves as high as the Himalayas. W.

G. Van Dorn, a University of California scientist whose specialty is oceanography and tidal waves, said Thursday the formation of mountains on the moon was similar to generation of tidal waves here on Earth. Van Dorn, a researcher at U.C. San Diego, said pictures of the moon indicate five concentric mountain ranges around the Mare Orientate that look like huge waves caused by the impact of giant meteorites striking the moon with energies of one billion megatons. Van Dorn reached these conclusions in his research of tidal waves which prompted the belief that giant maria or dry seas on the moon were created by the impacting meteorites.

According to Van Dorn, the great waves created by the impacts traveled across the rocky crust of the moon at speeds of 400 miles an hour. The shock waves accompanying the giant impacts would have been strong enough alone to have broken the legs of a man standing on the opposite side of the moon, he said. Van Dorn said that the Meteorite Icarus, which came within 2,400,000 miles of Earth last year, has a diameter of about 10 miles and travels at 34 miles a second.

Vandalism Reports City Tax Suit FRESNO (UPI) A suit filed in behalf of utility users seeks to have a 5 per cent Fresno city tax on utilities declared unconstitutional. The action filed in Fresno County Superior Court Thursday by the Fresno County Legal Services, contends the tax violates a section of the state constitution giving the state power to replate utilities. The plaintiffs were listed as Sophie Rivera, Hope Salas, Jean Richardson and all other utility users. The action calls for a permanent injunction preventing the city from levying the tax. The suit also says the tax constitutes, in effect, an increase in the rates of private utilities which are supposed to be replated by the states.

Several vandalism reports were on file with police and sheriffs deputies today: Jack Costa, 2465 N. Douty reported to police that his 1964 auto was parked on Dewey Street Thursday night and while he was gone someone scratched the paint around the auto and wrote two obscene words on the hood.

Thus far, Hanoi was failing in at least two categories combat level and Paris progress and South Vietnamese self-sufficiency remained questionable, at least in terms of current war conditions. The President will have several opportunities to lean on Hanoi in public statements in the near future: Ifis appearance before the National Governors Conference in Denver, on Labor Day; At the Mexican border Sept. 8 when he makes a public appearance with Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz near Del Rio, Tex. When he returns to Washington the night of Sept. 8.

Meantime, there would be a steady tattoo from San Clemente, sending what would try to be tyis consistent message to Hanoi: slow down or face a heavier level of American combat performance. Two men who escaped death this week as they rode out the destruction of their trucks by freight trains, were taken off the critical list today at Kings General Hospital. A hospital spokesman said the condition had improved for Alfred Silva, 55, of 8550 Eddy Hanford, and Henry King 26, Roseville. Silva suffered major internal injuries when his retail milk delivery truck was sheared in half by a Santa Fe train near 10th and Kansas Avenues Wednesday. He was later cited by the Highway Patrol for crossing the trains path.

NEW YORK (UPI) -Stocks climbed along a broad front today in light turnover. There was little in the news to account for the strength.

Douty The suit charges that Montgomerys repeal of the regulations, announced July 31, was done illegally without prior notice, a hearing, or the allowing of evidence and testimony against the repeal. It asks for an injunction blocking the move. Montgomerys ruling would reduce welfare payments to families putting such benefits into trust funds because the childrens entire Social Security benefits will be counted as part of the maximum family income allowed welfare recipients. Currently, money put into the fund is not counted as family income as is other Social Security benefits.

The class action is being filed by Rosalie Boehme, Wing Horn Gee and Barbara Du Croux and their children and all others similarly situated.

"Im a soldier and what my commanders decide for my assignment, they have the integrity and ability to decide, he said. Shurtz said he had stood before the company and asked! for a show of hands when he got the first inkling of the refusal. He said he counted five hands for men who refused to go.

I dont think at the time they understood what they were I did give them a direct order to go and they didnt say they wouldnt go they just stood there and hung their heads, he said.
