 IPAC Hikers reported 
Closer to D. M. Goal
  
  Seven members of the Iowa Peace Action committee (IPAC) were reported two- thirds of the way through their hike from Iowa city to Des Moines.
  Their journey, which began last Wednesday, is being held to convince Iowans to oppose the draft extensions bill now before the U. S. Senete. The marchers have been stopping to talk with people at towns along their route.
  IPAC member Ray Rohrbaugh, G. said a chartered bus will leave Iowa City at 7:30 Thursday morning to join the marchers in Altoona, where marchers and riders will join for the hike to Des Moines' Federal Building, location of offices for Iowa Senators Jack Miller and Harold Hughes. Additional marchers are expected to leave Ames Wednesday to join the Iowa Citians in Des Moines.
  Once in Des Moines, the IPAC members say they hope to discuss the war and draft with state Selective Service System officials.
  A three-day fast here by 12 persons on the post Office lawn concluded Monday noon.  Rohrbaugh estimated that the people collected about 4,000 signatures on petitions opposing the extension of the draft.  The petitions are to be deposited at Miller and Hughes' Des Moines offices.
  Similar fasts were being held in Ames, Davenport, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines.
