on a
Czech fate
discussed
in Prague
Soviets encounter
continued hostility
from public, leaders
PRAGUE (P) - Government
leaders met yesterday to discuss
measures needed to bring Czecho-
slovakia back to as normal condi-
tions as possible under the Soviet
bloc occupation.
No dtails were disclosed, but
the session coincided with reports
that Soviet leaders were meeting
in Moscow. These accounts said
the Moscow meeting could prove
significant to Czechoslovakia's fu-
ture course.
Despite the Soviet crackdown on
Czechoslovakia's liberalized pol-
icy of free speech and an uncen-
sored press, signs persisted that
the public and some leaders still
are defying the occupation forces.
Prace, the trade union newspap-
er, reported residents in the in-
dustrial region of Ostrava are
calling a special election to re-
place Drahomir Kolder, accused
of collaborating with the Rus-
sians, in the National Assembly.
Kolder is a former member of the
Communist party Presidium.
 Thedistrict prosecutor in Kosice
in southeast Slovakia indiated
prosecution may be sought of
Soviet soldiers involved in the
killing of Slovak citizens there. He
turned the case over to the pro-
secutor general.
Members of Prague's interna-
tionally known Slaviasoccer team!
turned down an invitation for a
match with a Soviet armored unit
camped in their stadium.
The Russians have demanded
that road signs and house num-
bei, removed to confuse the oc-
cupying forces, be restored in'
Prague and elsewhere. This pre-
sumably is to make easier raids
on homes suspected of harboring
"counter-revolutionaries."
The Prague mayor's office,
without mentioning the occupa-
tion, appealed to the people to re-
place the signs and house num-
bers to make the work of am-
bulance drivers and delivery men
easier-as he put it.
Soviet soldiers and tanks still
occupied key army installations in
Prague. Soviet patrols in the city
seem to have been reduced and
Czechoslovak police were seen
strolling down the streets.

'die hard'

r NEW YORK OP) - Die-h a r d
badkers of Sen. Eugene J. Mc-
Carthy for president maneuvered
yepterday to give his supporters
in at least 12 states a chance to
vote for him in November.
In two of the states, Indiana and
I o w a, their efforts appeared
doomed to failure by the Minne-
sota Democrat's refusal to let his
name appear on the ballot.
The others were Minnesota,
Tennessee, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Vermont, A r i z o-n a,

Florida, Deleware, Nebraska and
California. In several of t h e s e
states the legality of the pro-Mc-
Carthy move was under question.
McCarthy has declared that he
declines'to be a fourth party can-
didate for president and will ask
for the withdrawal of his name in
states where the granting of such
a request. is mandatory. This is
the rule in Iowa and Indiana.

Clifford gives go-ahead on tantimissile system
CAN'T STOP FILIBUSTER:
Fortas aproval unlkel

'Sentinel'
aimed at
Chinese
Clifford declares
project not part
of spending cut
WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary
of Defense Clark M. Clifford, de-
claring the United States must ne-
gotiate with Russia from strength,
yesterday ordered work on t b e
Sentinel antimissile system press-
ed forward.
Clifford exempted the Sentinel
from Congress-ordered spending
cuts.
His action came several days af-
ter it was learned that Pentagon
officials were discussing possibility
of deferring start of the Sentinel
for some months, in part, because
Communist China is nearly a year
late in testing its first: long range
ballistic missile.
Speaking to the National Press
Club, Clifford also defended the
pushing ahead with tests of ad-
vanced Minuteman and Poseidon
missiles incorporating. multiple
warheads.
He noted the concern expressed
by some critics that development
of the antimissile system - which
is currently designed to deal'most-
ly with the Chinese threat - and
development of the multiple war-
heads would cause Russia to react
with a big stepup in its own wea-
pons and would harm the prospect
of U.S.-Russian arms control
talks.
Clifford declared that he does
not share these fears. He said the
United States is pushing the new
weapons developments "on the
basis that a position of substantial
strength is essential and is the
best position from which we can
negotiate agreements that m a y
make the threat of nuclear war
increasingly remote."
The $5 billion Sentinel system,
while aimed at China, may grow
into a $45 billion project against
Russian missiles, in the view of
some critics.
Clifford voiced the hope that
"at an appropriate time" arms
control talks can take place be-
tween the United States and :us-
sia.
It was evident t h a t Clifford
feels this is not an appropriate
time because of the Russian-led
invasion ofCzechoslovakia and an
apparent return by t h e Soviet
Union to hard line policies in Cen-
tral Europe.
In this same vein, Clifford de-
clared that the events in Czech-
oslovakia "h a v e clearly demon-
strated that a significant Ameri-
can military presence in Western
Europe is still needed."
Thus, he came down hard
against any further. reduction of
U.S. forces in Europe.
At the same time, Clifford call-
ed on North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization countries to "review
these events from the standpoint
of the effect upon our common
security."
Clifford's discussion of Viet-
nam in his prepared remarks, cov-
ered only four paragraphs and re-
viewed what he said w e r e ele-
ments since last March providing
"a basis for hope that we can find
a solution to our m o s t vexing
short ranige problem - peace in
Vietnam."

strongly supported it despite the

ranks.
He said yesterday that he will
vote to cut off a filibuster and
reiterated that he will vote for
confirmation of Fortas. But he has
indicated he is not going to fight

Uphold Levy
conviction
WASHINGTON (A) - An Army
review board has upheld the con-
viction of Army Capt. Howard B.
Levy on charges of disobeying
orders to train special forces mied-
ics and of speaking to soldiers
against U.S. involvement' in Viet-
nam.
Levy, now confined at Ft. Leav-
enworth, Kan., under a three year
sentence at hard labor, may carry
his case to the U.S. Court of Mili-
tary Appeals and subsequently to
Secretary of the Army Stanley R.
Resor.
A terse statement yesterday
said:
"An Army board of review found
the 'findings of guilty and sent-
ence in the general court 1i artial
case of Captain Howard B. Levy
correct in law and fact."
Levy, a 30-year-old dermatolo-
gist from Brooklyn, N.Y. has fail-
ed in a number of legal maneuvers
aimed at regaining his freedom.
He was convicted by a general
court martial on June 3, 1967.
