Feb. 26, 27-Thurs., Fri. CARNIVAL IN FLANDERS dir. JACQUES FEYDER (1934) "Feyder's humorous, yet politically commit- ted re-creation of 17th century Flanders." 7 & 9:05 ARCHITECTURE 662-8871 75c AUDITORIUM the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service FRENCH PRESIDENT GEORGES POMPIDOU addressed a joint session of Congress yesterday, discussing the situation in the Mideast and the Vietnam war. One member of congress quietly walked out before Pompidou be- gan to talk, and about 200 members stayed away to protest France's sale of war planes to Libya. In his 25-minute speech, Pompidou called for a four-power con- ference under the auspices of the United Nations to seek peace in the Mideast. He said France has no intention of favoring one side over the other. He made no mention of the sale of planes to Libya. In discussing Vietnam, Pompidou said, "I know . .. the will to peace which guides the President of the United States." The end of the war " will be the most worthy of victories - a victory won first over oneself," he added. A FEDERAL GRAND JURY handed down an indictment in connection with the slaying of United Mine Workers leader Jos- eph A. Yablonski. The Cleveland jury indicted Silous Huddleston, a Tennessee of- ficial of the UMW, on charges of interfering with the rights of a un- ion member by force or violence, obstructing of justice and conspiring to interfere with the rights of a union member by force or violence. Huddleston, 61, is the father of Annette Lucy Gilly, already un- der indictment in the Yablonski slaying. Her husband, Paul Eugene Gilly, also is charged in connection with the same offense. * * * im4c trl i ttn dnttity page three Thursday, February 26, 1970 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three 7 Senators blast. U. S. Military aid toLaos WASHINGTON (M - Sen. Charles C. Mathias Jr. (R-Md) led a bipartisan Senate attack yesterday on increasing U.S. involvement in Laos. He said it violates congressional direc- tives and could repeat "the mistakes of our Vietnam involve- ment." Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky) said the Vietnamese war is increasingly being fought in Laos and Cambodia. And Sens. Charles H. Percy (R-Ill) and Albert Gore (D- Tenn) called on the Nixon administration to disclose the U.S. role in Laos. "The facts of our involvement have been con- cealed from the people," Gore said.

Murtagh said he would not resume proceedings until the 13 defendants promised to behave in court and end their "contemp- tuous conduct."

ENACT LECTURE: =It is the story of a young girl who is,orwas, curious about politics, nonviolence,Zen, commitment, socialism, other Swedes, and,-to e sure, sex. It is a serious filmwith anoble theme, and, in dramatic terms, it is original... It not only tells uswherewe've been heading sexully, it shows us where we've been.' LeonardGE LOOK MAGAZINE THE JURY in the Algiers Motel trial began deliberations. The all-white jury must decide whether three white policemen and one black private guard should be convicted under an 1871 civil rights law of conspiring to intimidate eight black youths and two white girls during the 1967 Detroit riot. The defendants are accused of conspiracy to deprive 10 occu- pants of the Algiers Motel of their civil rights by beating, threatening and intimidating them during a search for snipers reported in the area. If convicted they face a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine. ** * A SPECIALIST in population control said suspected compli- cations from birth control pills are secondary to the medical and social dangers of pregnancy. Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, head of the Planned Parenthood Asso- ciation, told a Senate'monopoly subcommittee that its hearings on the safety of the pill have spread "unwarranted and dangerous alarm" throughout the world. Nearly all side effects are unimportant or reversible, he added, and the only proven complication that can be fatal is blood clotting. Guttmacher said that pregnancy claims more lives than blood clotting each year. * * * THE SUPREME COURT extended the one-man, one-vote rule to all governmental bodies that perform normal governmental functions-,including local school boards. The decision requires that when officials are elected by districts the districts must be as nearly equal in population as practicable. The new ruling dealt with the junior college district of metro- politan Kansas City. Under Missouri law, Kansas City was entitled to three trustees-half the board-though its population ranged from 59.49 to 63.55 per cent of the district. Speaker calls for changed priorities By MARK DILLEN "We must change our national' priorities," Ron Linton declared last night in the kick-off address of the ENACT-sponsored series of environmental lectures. Linton, former chairman of the Task Force on Environmental Health, called first for a change in the national philosophy towards treating environmental problems. "Modern man has abused his environment more in the past one hundred years than his predeces- sors did in thousands of years," Linton said. "We must have a new approach based on the idea that impairment of environment is man's last, not first, distress sig- nal. "We must treat the disease it- self, not the symptom," he said. The first necessary step, ac- cording to Linton, was to "think in terms of $50 billion in the next decade" for combating pollution. Linton added that environment- al problems were closely tied with social problems and that these THE EVERGREEN FLM PRESENTED BY GROVE PRESS STARS LENA NYMAN. A SANDREWS PRODUCTION DIRECTED BY VILGOT SJOMAN. ADMISSION RESTRICTED TO ADULTS. problems must be tackled collec- tively. Pollution is only a part of en- vironment, he said. But the com- bined problems of pollution, dan- gerous food and consumer pro- ducts, overcrowded housing, in- adequate education, and unem- ployment "are the gravest threat to America today." In improving our environment, he said, "housing should receive .top priority." Linton aserted that poor housing is directly related to social and physical ills. Linton proposed a four point plan "to set up alternatives" to the present situation including: -Developing a population pol- icy. According to Linton this pol- icy should include public family planing services for everyone. -Exploration of the possibil- ity of planned new towns. -Restoring the inner cities. -Predicting the future. Linton said that use of our country's re- sources should be planned so that it is not "at the mercy of power- fully organized business and labor groups." In addition, Linton proposed tax- ation and regulation as methods of maintaining control of the en- vironment. "But this system will be to no avail," he said, "if the taxes are not high enough, if the system is unenforceable, or if industries are able to simply pass the tax on to the public." "We must meet such problems as jobs, equality, responsive poli- tical institutions, and freedom for all. Otherwise, our victory will be hollow-very hollow." ed by apparent concern over the failure of U.S. planes to stem an offensive by North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao in Laos "The Senate cannot ignore the storm signals that are flying this morning," Mathias said. "U.S. military activities in that country clearly violate the spirit of bo th the National Commit- ments Resolution - requiring specific congressional approval for every new engagement of Ameri- can troops abr o ad - and the amendment to the Defense Ap- propriations Act prohibiting use of funds f o r American ground combat troops in Laos or Thai- land," he charged. He cited "news reports from usually reliable publications" that refer to the presence in Laos of hundreds of ex-Green Berets, military advisers "swarming over the country in numbers propor- tionately larger than the Ken- nedy administration commitment of advisers" in Vietnam in the early 1960s, and the B52 raids. Mathias in a theme picked up by other speakers said "It would be a cruel disappointment of President Nixon's hopes for peace if success of Vietnamization in South Vietnam depends on esca- lation of the U.S. engagement in Laos." That prompted Mansfield to say that if U.S. involvement contin- ues to develop, "All the plans for Vietnamization will go down the drain and we will find ourselves in a most difficult situation." He said "There has been a de- cided shift to Laos and Cambodia from Vietnam itself" and said the administration should concentrate on speeding up U.S. withdrawals from Vietnam. Cooper noted Nixon's efforts to get the United States out of Viet- nam and said "I do not see how we can get out of that situation by becoming involved in another war." Cooper said he plans to offer amendments to appropriations bills "that will proscribe any kind of involvement in war in Laos." Mansfield suggested that Brit- ain a n d the Soviet Union, co- chairmen of the 1954 Geneva Conference, might be able to do something about the situation in Laos. Escalation tests U.S,. Asia plan WASHINGTON (A) - The first serious test of President Nixon's new, low-profile Asian policy may now be shaping up in Laos where North Vietnamese troops are push- ing a major offensive against re- treating forces of the U.S.-backed government. For years the Communists have staged offensives in Laos annual- ly in the dry season, but there is a growing concern that this time the North Vietnamese forces may strike for larger objectives. Some authorities here think, for exam- ple, they may aim at upsetting the neutralist government of Premier Souvanna Phouma a n d moving into territory which would pose a threat to Thailand. The view that the 1970 Com- munist drive will be different is not unanimous in the government. State Department officials seem to be more concerned than those in the Pentagon. Military men say they are skeptical of any great new development and rather ex- pect, as one put it, "more thrust and counterthrust as in past years." What is strikingly different about the situation this year is that Nixon has said repeatedly he does not want any more Vietnams and that he is not only "Vietria- mizing" that war but is determin- ed to cut U.S. involvement in Asia. U.S. officials recognize that Laos, where this country has no combat ground forces, is one place where the Communists could decide to probe this policy. Nixon says the United States is to some undefined extent com- mitted to support the neutralist Phouma government and has been using airpower for that purpose. What more Nixon could or would do if Communist pressure were greatly increased is not clear and authorities refuse to specu- late.
