NORMA LIZA TION COULD COME SOON:
China seeks stability with U.S.
HONG KONG (AP) - Chinese leader
Hua Kuo-feng has written to President
Carter outlining Peking's position on
normalizing relations with the United
States, something the Chinese expect
"could come soon," an American ex-
pert on China said yesterday.
Dr. Ross Terrill, an associate
professor of government at Harvard
University who just returned from an
18-day tour of China, said he discussed
purpose of the visit, the sources say,
would be to discuss the implications of
the pact and other major issues with
China's new leadership.
Terrill said Miss Wang "was very
pleased" with the visit Carter's
national security adviser, Zbigniew Br-
zezinski, made to China last May.
"I think what impressed the Chinese
about the situation in Washington is
that they see the strategic argument for

The now-defunct Student Government Council's Constitutional
Convention, which began seven months earlier, was slowly coming to
a close on October 15, 1968. That's because the idea of making the
student government more representative was plagued by a lack of
student interest, and the number of people attending the Constitutional
Convention rarely reached a quorum.

University Professor Burton Baker, Phd., a world reknown
anatomist died yesterday morning at University Hospital following a
chronic illness. Dr. Baker was 65 and is survived by his wife Hazel and

School where he joined the faculty as an instructor in 1941 and worked
his way to full professor in 1952. During his 37 year tenure Dr. Baker
became a highly respected researcher, teacher and administrator. He
published more than 110 scientific articles in his field of neuro-
. indocrinology and reproductive biology.

establishing full diplomatic relations
with the United States: withdrawal of
recognition of Taiwan, withdrawal of
U.S. troops from that Nationalist
Chinese island and abrogation of the
U.S.-Taiwan mutual defense treaty.
But he said she was "astonishingly
flexible" on the nature of relations the
United States could maintain with
Taiwan.
Terrill said he doesn't expect the
United States to make any formal
abrogation of the defense treaty, but he
said it could be left to a different inter-
pretation by both parties. For instance,
he said, if the United States recognizes
communist China, the Peking leader-
ship could interpret that as an
automatic abrogation of the Taiwan
treaty while the United States could
continue to consider it valid.
Terrill suggested that Carter might
move more quickly toward nor-
malization after next month's U.S.
congressional elections.
"Once Mr. Carter makes a decision,
it will be possible to create opinion in
Congress. It's like the Panama Canal,
which they also said was impossible."
Because of China's increasingly
positive attitude toward the West,
Terrill said, the United States "can get
the substance of an ongoing link with
Taiwan if we give up the shadow -
which is that the government of China
is in Taipei."
Terrill, who has visited China five
times, is the author of the highly ac-
claimed book "800,000,000 - The Real
China" and "The Future of China,"
which has just been published. He
traveled on this trip with the Commit-
tee for Australia-China Relations.
'I think in this moment in history, China is in an
outgoing mood to the West. It seems to me they're
opening up to the United States on students, oil and
other things because they expect normalization could
come soon.'

the question of normalization with Vice
Foreign Minister Wang Hai-jung.
"I HAD a talk with her on the world
situation in general and she chose to
spend 60 per cent on U.S.-Chinese
relations," Terrill said.
"Their view is that the U.S.-China
relationship is not a diplomatic issue
but a political issue, and the position
they want the Americans to take is the
long-term view of the relationship, to
view it politically and not just
diplomatically and to view it in
strategic terms.
"I understand. Chairman Hua has
sent a letter to President Carter along
these lines," he said in an interview
before leaving for Australia. He
declined to give further details about
the Communist Party chairman's
message.
MEANWHILE, Chinese informants
accompanying Foreign Minister Huang
Hua on his current visit to Britain are
saying privately in London that they
expect Carter to visit Peking next year
if Washington and Moscow sign a new
Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. The
normalization having advanced since
April when there was crystallization in
the United States over Russian expan-
sionism - especially in Africa.
"THEY SAW the Brzezinski visit in
May as an indication of the anti-
Russian strategic argument joining the
bilateral argument that normalization
would mean more trade, news bureaus,
etcetera," he said.
"I think in this moment in history,
China is in an outgoing mood to the
West," Terrill said. "It seems to me
they're opening up to the United States
on students, oil and other things
because they expect normalization
could come soon."
China has signed several multi-
million-dollar contracts with American
companies for oil technology and
equipment to develop its deposits and
recently agreed to student exchanges
with American universities. The
Chinese also have made several
diplomatic and economic forays to
Europe.
TERRILL SAID Miss Wang was firm
on the three principles China has set for

Although the plot concerns the investigation of a murder, it actually
deals with the interrelations of three young people, all products of the
'60s, not unlike JULES ET JIM. A tough, amusing and rather enigmatic
film by an extremely talented though fairly unknown Swiss filmmaker.

After five years of dissention and litigation, Bertolucci (LAST TANGO IN PARIS),
has triumphed with this epic. An all-star cast and huge budget, the film traces the
lives of two boys born in Northern Italy on the same day in 1901. Alfredo played
by Robert DeNiro is the heir to the vast land holdings of his grandfather, Burt
Lancaster. Olmo played by Gerard Depardieu is the bastard son of the patriarch,
Sterling Hayden. "A love poem for the movies, part opera-novel, part American
