Group wants Bakker to return to PTL A group of PTL contributors is soliciting pledges in an attempt to demonstrate the fund-raising power of the man who built the evangelical empire and then lost it ?

The Bring Bakker Back Club is calling and sending out pledge cards to some of the 500,000 regular contributors to the ministry, asking them how much they would contribute if Bakker returned.

Soviets, U.S. make progress on treaty ' American and Soviet negotiators have removed a key obstacle to an I arms treaty by agreeing to a timetable for elimination of mediurn-range I nuclear missiles, according to a Soviet deputy foreign minister. Vladimir Petrovsky on Monday told the United Nation's General Assembly's First Committee, which discusses disarmament issues, "Agree- 1 ment has been reached on the article on phasing the elimination of r missiles." r United States State Department spokesman Dennis Harter, in a s telephone interview Monday from Washington, said he had no informa- s tion on Petrovsky's announcement. Officials at the American U.N. mis sion also said they did not know about the agreement reported by the Soviet diplomat. 1 On Friday, the Soviets demanded that the 72 West German Pershing 1 A missiles, equipped with U.S. nuclear warheads, be included in a U.S.-Soviet treaty on eliminating intermediate-range nuclear missiles. s Washington has refused to negotiate the status of the missiles. West Ger- p many has said it will destroy the missiles if a treaty on intermediate-range j missiles is signed. r I 'viMvuuLr: j I scmfa/ %pmrm JACKETS - CAPS "Anything Textile" "SPECIAL DISCOUNTS" < For Fraternities Sororities | .
