The anti-war movement began to
recover from the doldrums this sum-
mer as Senate doves went on the at-
tack against the Nixon's administra-
tion's handling of the Paris peace
negotiations.
The grass roots opposition began
to pick up, too, and part of it lies
here at the University.
"We are calling for a massive anti-
war offensive this fall which will force
the Nixon administration to withdraw
American forces from Vietnam im-
mediately," said Gene Gladstone, a
member of the New Mobilization
steering committee.
The University's contribution will
be a teach-in the weekend of Sept.
19 to plan and coordinate local anti-
war activities.
"This teach-in will not function as
an educational meeting," explained
Prof. Glen Waggoner, history. "We
are trying to set up a framework
for the planning and coordinating of
anti-war activities on campus this
year."
Coordination is the goal of the 40-
professor group that has spent much
time this summer preparing the
teach-in.
"We hope to provide a neutral
framework that will allow planning
of activities this fall," said P r o f.
Ernest Young, history. "We will pro-
vide room for any type of action for
people of good will."
"What, we are doing is providing
a vehicle through which people who
wish to take action against the war
can organize," he added.
The facol point of the teach-in will
be a speech by Rennie Davis, (WHO
IS HE??) at Hill Aud. on the evening
of Friday, Sept. 19.
Davis recently returned from North
Vietnam where he helped obtain the
release of several American prisoners

Howard Zinn, author of Vietnam:

gon march who was heavily involved

and armed forces organizer Andrew

PRESIDENT NIXON yesterday ordered an immediate 75
per cent cutback on contracts for federal construction.
Nixon said the cutback would dampen inflation and ease the
rising cost of housing.
However, C. J. Haggerty, president of the AFL-CIO Construc-
tion and Building Trades Department said the cutback could cripple
efforts to put more blacks into construction jobs. In tha past several
weeks, black groups have held protests in Pittsburgh and Chicago
as part of a national drive to eliminate discrimination in building
trades unions.
In related action, a black organization in Chicago yesterday
turned down an offer by the city's construction industry of 1,000
journeyman's jobs. The Coalition for United Community Action also
rejected an offer of training programs for construction-related jobs.
NORTH KOREA yesterday warned it would not release the
crewmen of an American helicopter shot down last month unless
the U.S. admits they were on a "criminal mission."
The United States has said it would admit only that the heli-
copter entered Communist territory inadvertently and would pledge
that such an incident would not recur.
However, there was speculation that eventually the United States
would secure the release of the airmen by signing a letter of "con-
fession," accompanied by a repudiation of the statement. This was
the method used to obtain the release of the crew of the U.S.S.
Pueblo.
THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION yesterday asked the Senate
to make several changes in the tax reform bill passed by the
House.
The proposed changes would reduce tax relief on individualj
incomes by $1.1 billion while cutting back the increase in corporate
taxes from $4.9 billion to $3.5 billion. The net effect, according to
Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy would be to cut the
loss of federal revenue under the tax reform bill to $1.3 billion.
Kennedy said the bill passed by the House favored consump-
tion "to the potential detriment" of the nation's production.

A faculty committee studying the relationship between the Uni-
versity and ROTC yesterday cited a need for "revision of the rela-
tionship or severance" of University-ROTC ties.
In its preliminary report, the academic affairs committee of the
Senate Assembly stated, "the committee is agreed that irrespective
of the current political climate, the relationship between ROTC and
the University needs to be revised, drastically in the opinion of
some."
The brief five page report is being distributed to members of
the faculty senate today along with 39 pages of appendices. A final
report with specific recommendations is expected Oct. 1.
Under the revision alternative the preliminary report cites major
features of the present ROTC-University ties that should be altered
if ROTC remains on campus:
-- The University's $80,000
grantedhannually in direct alloca-
tions to the ROTC programs. Ac-
cording to the report this figure
may be as high as $350,000 if one
accounts for all building space
rented by the University for
ROTC.
"This amounts to an annual
contribution to the budget of the
Department of Defense, w h i c h

report states.

By LAURIE HARRIS
Preliminary plans for action
against ROTC were formulated
Wednesday night at a meeting of
representatives from five radical
campus organizations and several
individuals.
The plan, said Barry Bluestone,
Grad., is "positive militant dia-
logue." "When a ROTC teacher
says this is ROTC 101, I will in-
tervene and say, 'No, this is

FDA REPORT
Pill increases blood clot risk
,:.

WASHINGTON (A) - Women
who use oral contraceptives are
four times more likely to suffer
blood clots than women who do
not, a government advisory
committee reported yesterday,
However, the Food and Drug
Administration advisory panel
concluded that the clot danger
from the pill is relatively small:
only three deaths in every 100.-
000 per year among women of
child-bearing age can be attrib-
uted to contraceptive - caused
clots.
In fact, the committee said
o r a 1 contraceptives appear to
meet federal safety require-
ments because their benefits ex-
ceed the risk.
The group's study of 175
matched pairs of women in five
eastern cities is the first major
American survey linking blood
clots to oral contraceptive pils.
The findings parallel those of
several British studies that re-
ported a 7 to 10 times greater
clot risk for pill users.
Clots can cause death when
they lodge in vital organs such
as the lung, heart, or brain.
The committee's investigators,
headed by Dr. Philip E. Satrwell
of Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore, said the clot danger
is further heightened with so-
called sequential formulations-~
one method of oral contracep-
tion.
With sequential preparations,
the female hormone estrogen is
administered alone for part of
the menstrual cycle, then com-
bined with another hormone for
the remainder.
Other o r a 1 contraceptives
combine the two hormoies at
all times.
The committee said it is still
unclear whether the contracep-
tive pills have any link to can-
cer.
Effects of the pill on such or-
gans as the liver, thyroid, pose
no serious health hazard, the
committee added.
"When these potential haz-
ards and the value of the drugs
are balanced, the committee
finds the ratio of benefit to risk
sufficiently high to justify the
designation safe within the in-
tent of congressional legisla-
tion," the summary said.
The pill, used by millions of
women, is from two to thirty
times more effective in prevent-
ing pregnancy than other con-
traceptive devices, the commit-
tee said.
transplants elsewhere in the
world," h added.
University doctors had hoped to
control these critical factors and
prolong Carnick's life consider-
ably, Hubbard said.
Carnick was near death because
of emphysema when he received
the left lung of Richard A. May,
17, of Jackson in a six-hour and
53-minute operation Monday. He
had hovered in a state of semi-
consciousness since then and was
listed in "grave" condition.
May, the donor, had received
fatal injuries in an automobile ac-
cident early Sunday near Jackson.
Dr. Hubbard said an autopsy
would be performed on Carnick.
