Tuesday, October 15, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three I RESTRICTIONS LOOSEN: Portugal breathes free By DAVID MAZZ ARELLA LISBON ()-Without leaking an official word, the three week old government of Prime Minister Marcello Caetano has permitted de facto liberalization of press censorship "to get an idea what the people were thinking." After 36 years under the repres- sive regime of aged and ailing former prime minister Antonia Salazar, "The papers are reflect- ing determined points of view that were completely untouchable," one published said. "It's been a com- plete change." Informed sources report that government officials have been privately assuring journalists and editors that the new prime min- ister will never again blanket newspapers with censorship. Of- ficials promise a new press law within months.' Book publishers have been promised that some publications previously prohibited for political reasons would be allowed to cir- culate soon. Up to 150 books, in- cluding many novels, are currently banned in Portugal. Tight restrictions still inhibit dailygnewspapers, but the liberal- ization of editorial content has been marked. Two liberal Lisbon afternoon papers, Diarto de Lisboa and A Capital, have been the most out- spoken in calling for liberaliza- tion, a word which itself was con- sidered taboo under Salazar's au- thoritarian regime. Diario de Lisboa was allowed to ask for "decompression" of the national life by enactment of liberal reforms. In an unprecedented editorial, A Capital pronounced "A hope, much more than a passive expec- tancy or curiousity, was born in the Portuguese community" with the recent change of government. Alluding to the frequentApolit- ical arrests under Salazar, A Cap- ital called for "liberty to think, liberty to act, without running the risk of being deprived physically, without valid reasons, of this liberty: The government has responded. It has gone out of its way to satis- fy the press with fuller coi- muniques and with meetings be-I tween press officials and govern- ment leader. It has promised to end the practice of approving of- ficers of organizations after they are elected. Government officials say Cae- tano has succeeded "quite well" with the reforms.- Prime Minister Salazar MISTER($) FAMILY RESTAURANT SHAMBURGERS TREASURE CHEST " CHICKEN " CONEY ISLANDS CHICIMN " JUMBOYS SMILING SPEEDY SERVICE CARRY-OUT SPECIALISTS NO WAITING .

NASA said it would make no de- cision on Apollo 8 until the results :f Apollo 7 have been thoroughly valuated. That would be in No- vember. Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA associate administrator for man- ned space flight, believes at least one additional flight of the 'Apol- lo hardware will be necessary be- fore committing to a moon orbit test. He also noted that a moon orbit flight is not a necessary pre- requisite for a manned lunar land- ing attempt. The Apollo spaceship by itself has only one big engine that can take out of a moon orbit once it gets there. If it fails, the astro- nauts cannot get home. On later moon flights, the Apollo spaceship will hook up with with. the Lunar Module, the bug- like vehicle that will taxi two of the three-man crew to the lunar surface. If the Apollo engine fail- ed, the astronauts could fire the Lunar Module engine to head back for earth. Apollo 8 will be the first man- ned flight to utilize the power of the Saturn 5, the world's mightiest rocket which is five times more powerful than the Saturn 1B that boosted Apollo 7. Some officials are leery about coimmittin~g the first Saturn, 5 launching toan ambitious moon flight. One official noted that news- men have made a big thing about the possibility of the Apollo 8 as- tronauts orbiting the moon on Christmas Day and added: "But how do you think the world would feel if we stranded those three men in orbit around the moon on Christmas Day?"

Fthe news today by The Associated Press and College -Press Service NEW YORK TEACHERS went on strike yesterday for the third time, in five weeks, The issue was the same one that paralyzed the city's school system in the two earlier strikes - the demand by the AFL-CIO United Federation of Teachers for reinstatement of 80 white teachers by the community-controlled Ocean Hill- Brownsville school board. The experimental school district, in Brooklyn, is predominantly Negro and Puerto Rican. The latest strike focused around the reopening of Ocean Hill's Junior High School 271. Union president Albert Shanker said 16 of the ousted teachers have been subjected to "acts of terrorism and violence." He insisted the Board of Education either close the school or remove "those people who threaten to kill others." Ocean Hill, one of the three districts set up to test the concept of neighborhood control of schools, had opened its schools with nonunion teachers filling some of the vacancies left by the 80 ousted teachers. THE 90th CONGRESS adjourned yesterday leaving a host of legislation unfinished. Only about 20 house members and six senators were on hand when both chambers quit in the early afternoon. Most of the other congressmen lad gone home to campaign with election day only three weeks away. Lack of a quorum in the House had blocked adjournment Friday and Saturday. Backers of a House-passed bill to open the way for radio-television debates by the three major presi- dential candidates were trying to keep Congress in session until the Senate acted on the measure. At the Monday session, however, Rep. James O'Hara (R- Mich), leader of the group pushing the bill, gave up his fight to halt adjournment. He said it was "obvious" the Senate would not act. President Johnson has served notice he may call the Sen- ate back to ratify a treaty aimed at halting the spread of nu- clear weapons. If such a summons is feasible, Johnson pre- sumably will call the senators back after the Nov. 5 elections. THE APOLLO 7 MISSION enjoyed continued success yesterday including a seven minute television transmis- sion to the country. Capt. Walter M. Schirra Jr., who refused to turn on the on-board television camera Saturday, greeted America with a sign reading "Hello from the lovely Apollo room, high atop everything." Mission control said the transmission was "amaz- ing and much better than expected." Moments after the television broadcast Mission Control directed a third burn of the 20,000 pound thrust service pro- pulsion rocket. The burn lasted nine seconds and was against the direction Apollo 7 was traveling. This caused the space craft to slow slightly and go into another orbit. * * * ARMED GUARDS IN PANAMA patroled'the country yesterday following the military coup which deposed President Arnulfo Arias Friday. Despite *Arias' call from exile for "total war," the new civilian military junta under the leadership of provisional president Col. Jose M. Pinilla, said the country was quiet. In a message to the nation during installation ceremonies Sunday, Pinilla said civilian authority would be restored as soon as conditions allow. THE SUPREME COURT set a precedent yesterday in a decision concerning servicemen and their off-base con- duct. The court agreed to consider whether servicemen can be court-martialed for crimes committed on leave and off-post. Former Sgt. James F. O'Callahan, who was court-martialed in the rape of a 14-year-old girl-in 1956, persuaded the court to take action. He was dishonorably discharged in 1957 and for- feited all''pay and allowances in addition to being sentenced by a military tribunal to 10 years hard labor. O'Callahan's lawyers questioned whether servicemen can be deprived of the Constitutional right to be indicted by a grand jury and tried by a civilian court when the offense charged has "no direct or substantial effect" in maintaining military discipline. The Justice Department had argued against Supreme Court consideration, explaining soldiers and sailors remain under military jurisdiction both on and off-duty. * S 0 PRAGUE FACTORY WORKERS have come to the de- . fense of Communist party chief Alexander Dubcek' and. other popular Czech leaders. In a resolution issued as Premier Oldrich Cernik opened new talks in Moscow concerning Czechoslovakia's future, the workers condemned Soviet bloc press attacks "against our state and political leaders who have won our confidence." As long as the attacks continue, the workers promised "we can- not and shall not be silent." The resolution is particularly significant since the fac- tory workers are employes of an industry long headed by Antonin Kapek, an old guard Communist now actively work- ing with anti-Dubcek factions in the party.
