Jan Palach, a 21-year-old philosophy student, brought on the volcanic erup- tion. His death brought tens of thousands into the streets. Four other young people have ap- parently followed his lead. And they brought the top govern- ment officials - Dubcek, Svo- boda, Cernik, Smrkovsky - in- to negotiations. Student leaders are now using their moment of importance wisely by sharing it: both student and workers met with the four government offi- cials. This student-worker coalition again indicates the way to an external political pressure group. Czech student leader Michael Dymacek suggested such a coali- tion in a television address Jan. 19, when he said, "In the next two days and in the next weeks our acts will be an attempt at a well thought-out, organized reply that we want to formulate with the working class." He continued, "We shall re- quire, by concrete acts, respect of all demands, respect of the will of the whole Czechoslovak public, respect of our collective force-because we want to be equal partners in politics." With the development of this pressure, group, students are most likely going to decide not to join the National Front at their Second Annual Congress in April. Technically,'all organ- izations are required to belong to the National Front. Most stu- dent leaders are opposed to join- ing ,the Front because they feel membership would rob them of their independence. All forecasts for the future must be prefaced -by the as- sumption that the coming weeks remain calm, that Czechoslo- vakia does not become another Hungary. Given that condition there will probably a period of reflection and assessment of the past year's events. Out of this evaluation will SHOWS AT 1 :00-3:00-5:00-7:10 & 9:15 ae bad cops and there are Good cops.-and then there's STEVE UIN CCUEEAT AS TULIJT' sM 8SESTED FOR MATURE AUDIENCESI TECNICOLORIROM WARNER EROS: SEVEN ARTS 8:00 1429 Hill graduate council of Hillel "" anger emerge a heretofore missing theoretical base, formulated by the Czechs, for the Czechs. At the Brno Conference held two weeks ago for coordination be- tween Czech and Slovak stu- dents, the Czech political anal- ysis recommended "extending the space between the Russians and ourselves." At this moment, they seem to be accomplishing that feat, most notably through the recent government promises to hold Party elections, remove censorship, and detail the econ- omic situation of the public. With a theoretical base, Czechs will begin to make the rules for their own game; they will not find themselves re- sponding to forces generated by others. The past week demonstrated again the strong weld between the affairs of students and the affairs of the country. There is no dualism between the activity of those who are students and those who are not. It is through this weld that the students are gaining a large degree of their strength. Interestingly, t h e American student movement has been most successful when it is also able to perform this fusion. One of the results of the stu- dent action may be the decline and fall of Dubcek. His life was literally saved by the Czech peo- ple during August when the Russians took him at gunpoint to Moscow. His popularity after August was fantastic. Some polls showed 95 per cent of the population, firmly behind him. But as the occupation wore on, as the Russians demanded more - press censorship, economic curtailments-so did the people demand more. They became the "Second Reality" for Alexander Dubcek. Some students were ready to cast him to the Russians in November. Since then his sup- port has not increased. After Jan Palach's death he issued the impertinent statement t h a t "such acts could lead to a cata- strophic collision." Dubcek is now being pushed from behind; he is no longer leading. Such a situation could mean several things. If the stu- dents and the workers continue to at least tacitly support the government, the country may be able to ward off another in- vasion. If, on the other hand, Dubcek completely loses the support of the people, the situ- ation will be ripe for occupa- tion. I I /I "- I II jthe news today }- The Associaed Press and College Press Service SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Melvin R. Laird an- nounced yesterday a high-level review of the Pueblo affair. Laird, in his first Pentagon news conference, said the review will seek to determine whether such espionage mis- sions should be continued and, if so, how they can be pro- tected. "Laird also announced a major review of the $78-billion defense budget to consider cuts or increases in such pro- jects as the disputed Sentinel anti-ballistic missile system, and the Air Force's FB-111 swing-wing bomber and M5A cargo plane. He gave strong endorsement to the Sentinel system, tying it to a strong bargaining position in the event of arms-limitation talks. THE SECOND FULL scale session of the Vietnam peace talks ended last night with no sign of progress. From apparently hardening positions, North Vietnam and the National Liberation Front rejected U.S. efforts to begin discussion of military de-escalation. The talks will formally resume next Thursday. The day's talks crystallized the differences between the sides. North Vietnam and the Front made clear they will not accept division of the talks into military and political questions. They demanded a "peace cabinet," to replace the present "puppet" regime in Saigon, so that political matters may be taken up. 0* 0 A FEDERAL COURT yesterday ruled Mississippi's program of aid to private schools unconstitutiontal on racial grounds. The three-man panel ruled the five-year 'old program had "fostered the creation of private segregated scho6ls." They said it had been used to offer "an alternative to white students seeking to avoid desegregated public schools. ISRAEL DENIED its jets attacked troops in Jordan yesterday. However, authorities in Tel Aviv were reported under mounting pressure to strike back if any more Jews are hanged as spies by the Baghdad regime. The accusations came in a Baghdad radio broadcast charging that seven Israeli planes struck at Iraqi units east of the cease-fire line with Jordan. The Israeli denial follow- ed immediately. 0 0 0 THE HOUSE Ways and Means Committee has sched' uled a sweeping review of the nation's tax laws. Hearings expected to last several months are scheduled to start Feb. 18 with the operations of tax-exempt founda- tions, already under congressional scrutiny, to be examined first. For later hearings the committee announced an agenda including such explosive topics as the oil depletion allowance, stock options for executives and the use of subsidies and trusts to reduce income and estate tax. However, Ways and Means Committee chairman Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) cautioned against expecting a radical tax code revision this year. "" '' '' "" '' '* .. THE PUEBLO'S intelligence, officer was called to testify yesterday before a secret meeting of the court of inquiry. Lt. Stephen R. Harris was regarded as a key witness be- cause of the testimony given last week by the Pueblo's captan, Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher. Bucher told the court Har- ris was ordered to destroy secret material which eventually fell into North Korean hands. * . S LEFTIST DEMONSTRATIONS took place last night in Frankfurt against West German Chancellor Kurt Kies- inger. Demonstrators pelted his motorcade with rocks and fire- crackers after screaming the Nazi salute "Seig hell." Several persons were injured and a number arrested when police moved in to break up the demonstration by.about 1,000 young people. 11 NATIONAL 6ENERAL CORPORATt Now Thiru FOX EASTERN THEATRES TUESDAY FOXVILLa5E 375 No.MAPLE RD.-769-13OO Monday to Friday 7-:00-9 :20 Saturday & Sunday 1:45-4:15- 6:50-9:10 I Mad Marvin Presents at the Vth Forum Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun.- 1 :00 P.M., Separate AdmissionE ANDY WARHOL'S "THE CHELSEA GIRLS" (vith dual projection) "CONSIDERABLE TALENT AND BEAUTY!
