Azikiwe had been in London where he was writing a book on Nigeria. He returned to Nigeria, he said, to tour the East Central State-the core of Biafra-and infuse faith in the people. Azikiwe hailed the surrender, signed in Lagos Thursday, as a substantial step toward national reconciliation. He is expected to meet with Maj. Gen. Yakubu Gowon and other federal leaders. At the outset of Biafra's secession in 1967 Azikiwe supported the new nation. Last August he reversed his stand when he backed Nigeria and urged the Ibos to abandon the fight. , THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS said it has received permission from the Nigerian government to fly 21 tons of medical supplies to Lagos early next week.' A Danish chartered plane currently in Malta is expected to reach the Nigerian capital Monday with 10 tons of medications, followed by a Swiss plane from Geneva Tuesday carrying 11 more tons. * * * * SPOKESMEN FOR SEVERAL consumer organizations urged Congress to revamp the truth-in-packaging law.I Testifying before a Senate commerce subcommittee which is trying to judge the impact of the 1966 Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, Helen Nelson, a vice president of the Consumer Federation of America, said, "Tests indicate that despite efforts to improve labeling practices, the possibility that consumers can compare prices has not; been noticeably increased." Mrs. Nelson went on to testify that tests conducted in New York City showed that housewives can't identify packages offering the best price per unit. Spokesmen for other consumer groups urged legislation requiring unit pricing, standarized packaging, more detailed disclosure of pack- age content, a gradual conversion to the metric system and dating of perishable foods. Congress is now considering laws which would require packages to carry the price per unit of measure as well as a bill to require. that perishable foods carry the date at which their quality begins to deteriorate. Rector receives -Associated Press MSU Trustees meet Clifton Wharton Jr., (left foreground) president of Michigan State University, presides formally at a meeting of the MSU Board of Trustees for the first time yesterday. Wharton found the board sharply split over the first important issue to arise-the appointment of a new chancellor at Oak- land University. After a heated debate, the Trustees appointed Donald O'Dowd by a 5-3 vote. Standing at the rear are a group of Oakland students who walked out following the vote. APRIL 6 ELECTION: s urge C1i ounci to place ant1-war referendum on ballt0 COL. MUAMMAR KADAFI, one of the leaders of the coup that outsted Libya's King last September, became Libyan prime# minister in a move that apparently tightened his control over government operations. Mahomouj Maghradi, a lawyer who became prime minister after King Idris was overthrown Sept. 1, resigned with other cabinet mem- bers, Tripoli radio said. Kadafi placed four fellow officers into important cabinet posts. The Kadafi government, which seems to be moving toward closer ties with Egypt and other Arab nations, has told the United States and Britain to close down their military bases in Libya. Both are complying-. The two British bases in and near Tobruk will be closed by March 31. The U.S. Wheelus Air base near Tripoli is to be formallyj turned over to Libya by June 30.1 third heart 'U' hospital says patient doing OK By TOM WIEDER Gerald K. Rector received his second transplanted heart in an eight hour operation at Unti-- versity Hospital yesterday. The operation, began at 1:15 p.m., was finished at 9:15 p.m., and Rector's condition was described as "good as could be ex- pected." His new heart was beat- ing well and sustaining blood pressure. He was breathing with- out assistance, a hospital spokes- man said. The spokesman added that "the first 48 hours are very critical in terms of recovery from the opera- tive procedure." At a press conference following the operation, a hospital spokes- man said: "We had a man who, although with an unusual problem, was very suitable for a transplant, and we had a patient who was a suit- able donor. "Despite all the difficulties and hazards that were understood, there was no reason to deny him the possible advantages of a, transplanted heart." The donor was Mrs. Hildreth Judy, 55, a housewife from Saline who died of a stroke Thursday,. Mrs. Judy's kidneys were also used in two separate transplants at the hospital and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. At University Hospital, the kid- ney recipient was Gary Walvin, 24, Dearborn. Walvin, a second year student at Henry Ford Community College, has been using a kidney machine for the past "five years at Wayne County General Hospital. The recipient at Henry Ford Hospital is not presently identified. Permission for the transplants: was given by members of Mrs. Judy's family. Rector, 44, received his f irr s t transplant on March 17, 1969. While at University Hospital last week for a routine check-up,, his heart started to show signs of re- jection. Doctors said he probably would not have survived until this morning without the transplant. It was just a coincidence that there was a suitable donor present at the time. University Hospital has followed its previous policy of not identify- ing the doctors who performed the operation, but a spokesman said the team was essentially the same as the one which trans- plantedaRector's first heart last spring. At critical times during the op- eration, hospital officials said, as many as three dozen people and three operating rooms were being " used. 'This caused disruption of some regular hospital operations, but the spokesmen indicated that, despite the very unpredictable probability of success in such operations, the prospect of ex- tending the patient's life made the extra efforts worthwhile.

NOW 1 DIAL 8-6416 By TA1MLMY JACOBS The Young Democrats will urge City Council to place an anti-war referendum on the ballot in the April 6 municipal election. In a resolution passed Wednes- day, the YD's proposed a referen- dum which would call for the im-' mediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam, protection by the U.S. for "all those in South Viet- 'nam who ask for it" and the transfer of government funds from military to domestic priorities. The resolution also stated that the Young Democrats would sup- port only those city council can- didates who favor the proposed referendum. The proposed referendum, which would have to be placed on the ballot 45 days before the election . : f . L // Levi's makes the fashion scen.e with bel 'CENTER FOR DISLOYALTY' Anti-war coffee house closed COLUIBIA, S.C. () - County officials have closed the UFO, a coffee house where youths - including some soldiers f r o m nearby Ft. Jackson - gathered to discuss opposition to the Vietnam War. . As has been the case at similar gather- ing places near other military bases across the country, local officials claimed t h e UFO was a nuisance and- a center for dis- loyalty. Defenders of the coffee house accused the offi 'als of trying to suppress dissent. Locw across the street from City Hall, the dine *y lit UFO has galled city officials and businessmen for two years with its antiwar theme and its long-haired clien- tele. Also officers at Ft. Jackson, a few miles away, have not been pleased by its appeal to young GIs.4 On Thursday Richland County Solicitor John Foard ordered the UFO padlocked after five persons were indicted by a grand jury on charges of operating it as a public nuisance. Thomas Broadwater, Columbia attorney who represents the five, said in an inter- view: "The real issues are not whether the UFO is a nuisance or improperly manag- ed, but whether the political philosophy in power is going to silence a political philo- sophy they disagree with, and they are do- ing everything within permitted police power to do so." In addition to charging the UFO with being "a common, disorderly and ill-gov- erned place," t h e indictment contended the coffeehouse has been a gathering place for "rowdy persons, persons of evil name, fame and conversation." It also charges that drugs or narcotics were sold on the premises. Foard declared: "We intend to keep it closed . . . It is a center for disaffecting soldiers and those avoiding the draft." Foard's complaint said further the cof- fee house seeks to "encourage young men ..: to refuse to fight for their country." Paul Gumm, a waiter who was in charge of the coffee house when officers affixed the padlock, said, "The trouble is not with the UFO. It's with Ft. Jackson." In 1968, Columbia Police Chief L. J. Campbell was quoted as saying: "I'm going to close that place if it's the last thing I do." Since then he -has acknowledged t h e UFO has been under surveillance.' The coffee house received wider atten- tion in 1968 when a charge was brought against the management for an antiwar poster in the front window. The case is under appeal. The display was a mounted photograph from the newspaper, Vietnam GI, purpor- ting to show four American soldiers hold- ing the heads of two decapitated V i e t Cong. Police took issue with the picture caption which contained words they said were obscene. is supported by the New Mobiliza- tion to End the War, the Ann Arbor Committee Against the War, the Ann Arbor Moratorium Com- mittee and the New Democratic Coalition. A 45 minute debate at the YD's meeting centered around the pos- sibility that the referendum might be harmful to democratic candi- dates for City Council. "Some people felt it might hurt -might bring out the Birch vote," Jerry De Grieck, vice president of the YD's said. "In the end we de- cided it was a moral issue. There was nothing we could do but past it," he explained. Howard Heideman, president of the YD's agreed saying, "even if there's a chance that it may be politically non-expedient, it is important enough to all of us to make the commitment." , Frank Shoichet, a YD member, said that although the referendum might possibly hurt democratic candidates in some wards, "cer- tain leadership elements in the Ann Arbor Democratic party say that it would help candidates in predominantly student wards." Although the YD's haven't made a formal request to City Council for the referendum to be put on the ballot, they have been in touch with members of the council. "We're not threatening them, but we feel there is a definite commitment to raise the war issue, and we certainly will be bringing pressure to bear," Heideman said. "We feel that City Council has the duty to put this referendum on the ballot," De Grieck con- cluded. and if ou thnk Imread you may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of. our vision flow into one anat her* ': :~ : .- .{.}... -------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------'-4 :1.- : ----------------------------------------------------------------- '>~:~«" ~ C------;,} i I
