Overview Women begin peace encampment Nuclear protest at arsenal to be summer long ROMULUS, N.Y. (AP) Women built the meeting pavilion, shoveled gravel, laid out campsites, dug firepits and restricted male access to create a peace camp near the gates of the Seneca Army Depot, "This is a very feminine place," said Kat Reimers of Teaneck, N.J. "It's On Tuesday, the 500 women gathered here settled down to organizing the tent city and a summer of protest against nuclear weapons. Barbara Reale, an organizer from nearby Ithaca, said nightly vigils would be held at the fence surrounding the depot and workshops would be held during the day. Civil disobedience will come later, she said.

The women drawn from more than a dozen states and several countries believe the arsenal in central New York is a major storage and shipping point for nuclear weapons. The army will neither confirm or deny that as a matter of policy. Several women walked hundreds of miles to the camp, including 62-year-old Elana Freedom, who said she trekked 600 miles from her home in Durham, N.C., 1 passing out leaflets along the way. The camp is located on a 52- acre farm bought recently by a group called the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice. The facility includes a house, where the full-time staff lives.

Most of the 500 women are sleeping in tents. The idea came from England, Forecast for Thursday Rain Snow Temperatures Showers Flurries 80 70 70 National Weather Service NOAA.

He pleads guilty to in arson case MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty Tuesday to being an accessory i in setting fires that killed a Fairfield couple and their 8-month-old daughter March 17. Terry A. Vorhies of Mount Pleasant had been scheduled for trial today on three counts of first -degree murder. But, in an agreement with prosecutors, he instead pleaded guilty to the less serious charge of being an accessory after the fact. First murder carries a mandatory life prison sentence in Iowa.

At the maximum, the accessory charge could mean five years in prison for Vorhies. But Henry County District Judge David Hendrickson said he would recommend a two-year sentence. The Henry County Attorney's office agreed to consider dropping the three counts of murder and two counts of arson against Vorhies if he testifies against Orville R. Luke, a 25-year-old Mount Pleasant man also charged in connection with the arson deaths.

Kris Eberlein, an organizer of the camp, said it was conceived at a New York City conference on nuclear proliferation last year. The camp opened with formal ceremonies Monday while most of the nation was celebrating Independence Day.

Later, the women walked the miles to the depot, where they planted a rose bush. Eberlein watched as seven women tied themselves with cloth to the arsenal's main entry and began wailing. Others put banners and flowers on surrounding fences. There were no arrests. "We weaved the yarn and picked the flowers," Eberlein said.
