UNITED NATIONS (AP) - A U.N.
conference "to cope with human suf-
fering of an appalling magnitude" in
Cambodia brought aid pledges of $186
million in its opening session yesterday.
The Phnom Penh government said it
would let relief shipments into the coun-
try via the Mekong River.
U.N. Secretary-General Kurt
Waldheim, who opened the conference
on ways to end the suffering of an
estimated two million persons in the
war-torn Indochinese country, called on
"all concerned to cooperate fully. . in
facilitating the distribution of our sup-
plies."
HE SAID arrangements for delivery
of relief supplies should "assure us and
the donors that they arrive in the hands
of the suffering civilians for whom they
are destined."
Waldheim's comments appeared to
be an appeal to the government of
Premier Heng Samrin and its Soviet
and Vietnamese backers, who have
held up distribution of relief supplies
because they do not want them to go to
areas of the country controlled by for-.

mer Premier Pol Pot, who was ousted
last January.
Waldheim mentioned no names and
neither did the other speakers, who
urged that the rival factions in Cam-
bodia put aside their differences for the
sake of the relief program.
SECRETARY OF State Cyrus Vance
cited the desperate need for aid to
relieve suffering Cambodia and
declared, "Some issues transcend
politics. This is one of them.
"Clearly there are differences among
governments on the political situation,"
said Vance. "But all of us must put
those differences aside as we ask all the
authorities involved.. . to turn away
from calculations of political and
military advantage and turn to the
overwhelming human issue that is
before us."
In a statement broadcast yesterday
by the Vietnam News Agency, the Heng
Samrin government said it was "from
now on ready to receive whatever quan-
tity of humanitarian aid .. . without
political conditions."
VANCE SAID the United States plans

$69 million in aid to Cambodia, in-
clding $30 million already pledged by
President Carter; $9 million in aid for
refugees in Thailand; and provisions
for $30 million in extra aid now going
through by Congress.
The pledge total of $186 million during
the morning session of the one-day con=
ference included all aid sums men-
tioned by the 13 foreign ministers and
ambassadors who spoke.
Cambodian politics became a factor
in the session when it was discovered
there was a delegate from the Viet-
namese-backed Heng Samrin regime,
which is not recognized by the United
Nations. Keo Prasat, Heng Samrins
ambassador to Moscow, arrived in New
York over the weekend and sat with the
Bulgarian mission.
The accredited delegate of the rival
regime of Pol Pot, Thiounn Prasith,
told reporters that he regretted the
State Department decision to give
Prasat a visa.

14 held in anti-Klan rally deaths

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Four-
teen men, described by a judge as
"imminently dangerous to others of the
community," were ordered held
without bond yesterday in a shooting
rampage that left five persons dead at
an anti-Ku Klux Klan rally.
Persons outside the courtroom said
they could hear voices singing "God
Bless America" and "Onward
Christian Soldiers" in the holding cell
lwhere the suspects awaited their court
appearances.
FOUR PERSONS died at the scene of
Saturday's shootings in a predominan-
tly black housing project. A fifth vic-
tim, Michael Nathan, a physician from
Durham, died yesterday at a Green-
sboro hospital. Nine other persons were
injured.
Twelve men were arrested a few
hundred feet from the scene of the
shootings, where gunmen fired
repeatedly into a crowd gathered for an
anti-Klan march sponsored by the lef-
tist Workers Viewpoint Organization.
Policeseized a yellow van that was
packed with pistols, shotguns and
rifles.
Each of the 12 arrested Saturday
faces four counts of murder and one
count of conspiracy to commit murder.
District Attorney Michael Schlosser
said before the fifth victim died that he
expected other charges to be filed.
TWO SUSPECTS were arrested in
Winston-Salem on Sunday. Each was
charged with one count of conspiracy to

commit murder.
At the White House, press secretary
Jody Powell said the Justice Depar-
tment had established a special unit to
investigate the violence and has two
dozen FBI agents on the scene.
In yesterday's court hearing, District
Court Judge Robert Cecil ordered the
defendants jailed pending a probable-
cause hearing on Nov. 20. He denied
bond for any of the men after Schlosser
described them as "a band of
marauders, 14 strong, who descended
on Guilford County and cut a path of
destruction that left dead and bloody
bodies."
IN HANDCUFFED pairs, the defen-
dants were brought into the courtroom
to hear the charges and to tell Cecil
whether they planned to hire a lawyer.
Wearing wrinkled and ill-fitting jail-

issued coveralls, most of the men stood
passively and said nothing except for
simple answers to Cecil's questions.
One defendant, however, asked the
judge if he could make a statement.
Cecil agreed. "God save America and
this honorable court," Rayford Milano
Caudle said as he left the courtroom.
In an unusual security move, Cecil
ordered families and friends of tle
suspects as well as other spectators
kept out of the courtroom, but reporters
were allowed to view the proceedings.
Nelson Johnson, an organizer of the
anti-Klan rally, said at a news con-
ference .Sunday that the site of the
gathering had been discreetly moved in
an attempt to prevent violence but the
attackers apparently had no problem
finding where the marchers were
gathered.

President Jimmy Carter signed up 51 times.

in America, 3% of the people give 100% of all the
blood that's freely donated.
Which means that if only 1 % more people-
maybe you-became donors, it would add
over thirty percent more blood to America's
voluntary bloodstream. Think of it!
But forget arithmetic. Just concentrate
on one word.
The word is Easy.
Giving blood is easy. You hardly feel it (in fact,
some people say they feel better physically after
a blood donation).
