7 American children present an A-freeze call to Soviets

Seven American children presented a 4,400-signature petition to the Soviet Embassy Monday calling for a nuclear arms freeze and said they were well received.

Camilla Taylor of Cleveland, in a short speech in Russian, said, ''This petition was started in the hopes that the young people of the world would make even a slight impact upon our governments and make adults aware that young people are very concerned about their future.''
