The new safeguards, drawn up jointly by military and rail- road representatives, resulted from what FBI Director J. Ed- gar Hoover termed "a marked increase" in acts of sabotage against government installa- tions: Government officials have in- dicated rail shipments of Viet- nam-bound material have been listed as prime targets by some antiwar groups who have threat- ened to use force to impede the war effort. A railway spokesman said the threats, along with reported "isolated incidents" of interfer- ence with defense shipments, led to the elaborate anti-sabotage steps. The new rail security proce- dures include: -Sending trains laden with munitions and defense supplies through isolated areas and gen- erally at night. -Varying routing so patterns cannot be detected in defense shipments. In fact, many are routed over a much longer dis- tance than necessary in order to avoid detection. -Triple sealing doors of box cars containing explosives be- fore shipment. -Careful inspections of rail- way track and facilities near Wilmington, N.C., and Oakland, Calif. - primary embarcation points for Vietnani-bound sup- plies. When boxcars arrive at their destination, a railway spokes- man said, the shipments are not touched until a military inspec- tor checks the seals.. If there is any sign of tamper- ing, the boxcar' is isolated and its contents thoroughly inspect- ed before being transferred to ships. The railroad spokesman said this procedure is necessary to guard against the possibility that an explosive would be rig- ged to detonate during shipment to Vietnam. Hoover says "terrorist activi- ties" against government instal- lations primarily have involved attacks on Reserve Officers Training Corps and Selective Service facilities. But there have been cases- the FBI says it has no exact fig- ures-of sabotage against utility towers serving defense plants. And a railway source reported that a cache of small arms was stolen recently from a boxcar at the Army's Aberdeen, Md., proving grounds. Government officials, cautious in discussing suspected sabotage because of fears of triggering an alarxmist reaction from the pub- lic, say the outbreaks show on- ly "a marked increase" and are not a wave of terrorist activi- ties. Hoover traces the incidents to last June when the Students for a Democratic Society, a mili- tant leftist youth group, held its national convention at Michi- gan State University. At that time, the FBI director said, th6 SDS conducted a work-' shop on sabotage and explo- sives. "It was only a short time aft- er this convention," he de- clared, "that the wave of bomb- ing and arson occurred through- out the country." Despite investigating numer- ous cases, only two indictments have been returned. Hoover has reported that blueprints for bombing govern- ment installations have been disseminated in some publica- tions by militant anti-war groups. Contending that sabotage is "the next logical step toward destruction and disruption of the U.S. war machine," one pamphlet contains instructions acid detailed diagrams foi mak- ing incendiary bombs. Administration to prosecute disruptive campus protesters WASHINGTON (CPS) - The Nixon administration clearly in- tends to prosecute and punish disruptive campus protesters, but the President has decided not to make the announcement himself. Instead he has handed the assignment to Robert H. Finch, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. The White House had earlier announced that Nixon would issue a statement on stu- dent unrest, but the President apparently was persuaded not .to ° e Sankar '..

JA N E lf you like Bob White, you'll love Loring Jones."- CHRISTOPHER (of Christopher & Sara) SAT. NITE LATE AFTER HOURS I' involve himself in this sensitive area. Atty. Gen. John N. Mitch- ell will see that "militant activ- ists" be prosecuted if they con- spire, or cross state lines, to provoke riots. While members of the admin- stration were deciding what to do or not to do, the House high- er education subcommittee re- cently re-open d hearings on campus disorders. Rep. Edith Green- (D-Ore) and her colleagues heard a spokesman for Gov. Ronald Reagan and the head of the California State College board, of trustees. The subcommittee is attempting to clear up confu- sion surrounding amendments to the Higher Education, Act of 1968. Under this law, financial aid provided by the federal govern- ment may be cut off if a univer- sity determines !that a student participated in "serious dis- ruptions" or was convicted of a crime resulting from a pro- test. This version allows the school some discretion.. A provision of the General Appropriations Act, however, under which aid money is provided, requires that aid be cut off. College administrators haven't known what to do and under the Johnson administration no - - - - one told them. In fact, then-4 secretary of HEW Wilbur Co- hen issued a memo saying the aid cut-off was unjust. The Green committee is in- vestigating to see if a clarifica- tion should be written into the law, or whether the rule should be relaxed. There is some sentiment in the committee which reflects the general feeling of college of- ficials: The government should let the universities individually decide appropriate punishment, if any, for protests. Others feel the government cansand should attach restric- tions on money it gives to col- leges because they think campus disruptions shouldn't be "sub-! sidized." California's Gov. Ronald Rea- gan clearly thinks the govern- ment should interyene. At the recent National Governors con- ference he proposed a federal in- vestigatron into campus unrest, claiming a conspiracy. Reagan, in a statement read to the committee, said he "wel- comes' aid cut-off provisions if they are fair and effective. He called them "abdeterrent," and said it may be necessary for them to be "absolutely man- datory so they can't be thwarted because of pressure on admin- strators or by current admin- istrative style." He stressed "effectiveness,"~ saying "an escalation of threats with no concern for action leads to an escalation of violence with no concern for results." Teodore Meriam, chairman of the State College trustees, said he "is interested in sup- porting a general philosophy which encourages faculty and administrative responsibility on our campuses. We should pro- vide them with the discretionj and flexibility necessary to car- ry out their function." Hie said, however, that !Con- gress "not only has the right, but the obligation to spell out in clear terms their intent that federal funds may be denied to students or faculty guilty of misconduct. 3The Michigan Daily, edited and man- aged by students of the University of Michigan.

British troops and police seized control of Anguilla, a tiny African island, Wednesday. Anguilla had been part of the self-governing British col- ony of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla until it withdrew from the federation in May, 1967. It declared its independence earlier this year. British Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart told the House of Commons that Anguilla's secession might inspire other is- lands to break away from British-sponsored federations. A major objection to Britain's action refers to an incon- sistency with the government's policy towards Rhodesia. The current invasion has touched off demands by black Africans that Britain apply the same policy to Rhodesia's white government. * 9 9 THE PARIS PEACE TALKS passed through their ninth session of full scale talks yesterday. " U.S. representatives reported t h e meeting contributed little toward the search for peace in Vietnam, The brief ses- sion was once again marked by accusations by each side that the other was intensifying the war'. South Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Dang Lam warned the North Vietnamese, and the National Liberation Front to refrain from engaging in "a hopeless attack on Saigon." President Nixon said recently the U.S. would be forced to take "appropriate response" if the offensive continues. However, Xan Thuy, head of the North Vietnamese dele- gation yesterday called Nixon's warning a "threat of escala- tion." MOB RIOTING in East Pakistan has left 150 dead and thousands homeless. The disorders of the past ten days were set in motion by an ultimatum from students last month calling for the resig- nation of all "basic democrats" in the province. The "basic democrats" form the lower echelon of Presi- dent Mohammed Ayub Khan's regime. In response to the disruption, Law Minister Syed Zafar said the National Assembly would be convened within a month to consider constitutional changes altering Pakistan's form- of government. Proposed changes include establishing the first free one- man, one-vote elections in the nation's 21 year old history. U.S. FIGHTER PLANES attempted to save the Pueblo before it was seized by North Korea, a military spokesman disclosed yesterday. The planes were sent from Okinawa to attack North Korean MIG's and gunboats when they surrounded the ill- fated vessel. However, by the time the planes arrived, the spokesman said, the sun had set, barring any assistance from the air. . . 0 SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Melvin Laird yesterday defended the proposed ABM system before a Senate Com- mittee. Testifying at hearings of the Armed Services Committee, Laird said the missile network was crucial to the United States' ability to respond to a Soviet attack. Calling the proposed ABM network "a building block for. peace," Laird said he did not believe the Soviets would agree to a freeze on their anti-missile system unless the U.S. went ahead with Sentinel deployment. THE UNITED STATES yesterday called for South A- rica to withdraw from Southwest Africa. Charles Yost, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said his delegation would vote for a pending security council reso- lution calling for immediate withdrawal. South Africa seized Southwest Africa from Germany dur- ing World War I, and claimed it afterwards under a League of Nations mandate. PRESIDENT NIXON is expected to ask Congress for sweeping changes in the administration of foreign aid. According to Michigan State University President John Hannah, who will direct the foreign aid program, the pro- posals will include the establishment of a quasi-governmental corporation to oversee foreign assistance. The corporation will seek the aid of private investment in improving the economies of underdeveloped countries. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT-TRAVEL CLASSIC CRAFTS CORP.
