BERNADETTE DEVLIN and 25 other Roman Catholics won
a court victory yesterday by gaining postponement of a hear-
ing on charges that they participated in illegal marches.'
Placard-carrying crowds in Newry cheered the decision.
There were tumultuous scenes outside the Newry court when
it adjourned the case. The court said the lapse would allow passions
to cool and permit the gathering of evidence.
The defendants are accused of taking part in an illegal march
in Newry 10 days ago to protest the killing of 13 Catholics in Lon-
donderry's "Bloody Sunday" when British paratroops broke up a
Catholic parade.
ECUADOR YESTERDAY BECAME the sixth South American
nation to live under a military government after its army set up
a "nationalist revolutionary government" in the wake of a
bloodless coup that banished from the country President Jose
Maria Velasco Ibarra, an elected civilian who became a dictator
nearly two years ago.
In the military takeover, General Guillermo Rodriguez, an
ultraconservative, announced he would be assisted by a council of the
leaders of Ecuador's navy, air force, and whoever is named to suc-
ceed him as commander of the army.

SAIGON(M.. - The Communist offensive expected this
week in Indochina could begin with simultaneous attacks in
the central highlands and in the far north, putting South
Vietnam's forces to the maximum test, a senior U.S. military
source said yesterday.
The offensive is likely to take the form of a series of
"continuing impulses" lasting as long as five months rather
than a one-shot affair of a few weeks, he added.
While the campaign is expected to see Communist forces
committed on a large scale, he discounted the idea-which
has support among some al- --"
lied officials - that it is-"
planned as North Vietnam's M ore jo less
final big effort of the war.
Meanwhile, the North Vietna-
mese broadcast asserted that a i.3-
number of U.S. jets attacked pop-
ulous areas in Quang Binh and
Vinh Linh, North Vietnam's two now er
~southernmost provinces.
EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT ANWAR SADAT said yesterday
that Egypt "must accumulate sophisticated arms" for the upcom-
ing battle with Israel.
He refused to discuss the results of his recent Moscow visit until
a secret meeting of the congress. It is expected that the source of
"sophisticated arms" will be the Soviet Union.
EDITH IRVING was arrested as a fugitive from Swiss justice
yesterday and released on $250.000 personal recognizance bond
in the case of her husband's disputed Howard Hughes autobiog-
raphy.
Irving has said that his wife was the mysterious Helga Hughes
who opened secret Swiss bank accounts and deposited $650,000 in
checks intended by McGraw-Hill for Hughes. Swiss authorities say
she later withdrew the money, then put it in another account.
THE BOMBING of the police and fire stations in Man-
cliester, New Hampshire yesterday, has been linked to plans to
blow up the New Hampshire primary headquarters of President
Nixon.
Two persons were arrested in connection with the bombings
shortly after the three blasts occurred.I

WASHINGTON (A) - Presi-
dent Nixon leaves the White
House at 10 this morning to the
flag waving and cheers of
Washington school children as
he begins his well-publicized
trip to mainland China.
The President has spent the
past several days at Camp Da-
vid reading through loose-leaf
volumes of classified material
on China. His itinerary calls
for a two-day layover in Hawaii
to adjust to the time-change.
during which more preparation
will take place.
Nixon and his 13 - member
party. (including his wife) will
arrive in Shanghai Monday
morning (Sunday evening, EST)
to begin a weeklong series of
meetings with Chinese officials.
The itinerary also calls for
several banquets and side trips
to Chinese shrines and historic
sites, including the Great Wall.
The bon voyage ceremony at
the White House this morning
will also feature cabinet mem-
bers and Congressional leaders.
With regards to the thousands
of Washington school pupils be-
ing given the morning off to
attend the helicopter departure,
deputy press secretary Gerald
Warren described the procedure
as "an educational assist to the
teachers."
White House staff and em-
ployees in nearby federal build-
ings will also be in attendance.
The gala celebration will set
the tone for the ceremonious
presidential mission, the first
visit by any ranking American
official to China since the Com-
munist revolution achieved mili-
tary victory in 1948.
Nixon will divide his time be-
tween Shanghai, Peking and
Hangchow. While within Chi-
nese borders he will become the
first president to fly in a for-
eign aircraft. The Chinese have
insisted that their high-ranking
guest should be treated to tra-
ditional Chinese hospitality,
which means Air Force One will
not be used inside China..
American military sources said
yesterday that U.S. planes have
mounted a new series of strikes
inside North Vietnamese territory.
The U.S. informants said the
strikes were in North Vietnam's
half of the demilitarized zone that
separates the warring Vietnams,
but declined to disclose the tar-
gets.
The sources said some of the
strikes were "protective reaction."
This means pilots can attack
Communist anti-aircraft defenses
considered a threat to U.S. re-
connaissance planes flying over
North Vietnam or planes bomb-
ing Communist supply lines any-
where in Indochina.
Radio Hanoi claimed two planes
were shot down and a number of
pilots were killed or captured. The
U.S. Command declined comment.
If the Hanoi claims are sub-
stantiated, it would mark the first
American aircraft and pilots re-
ported lost over North Vietnam
since the five days of heavy air
raids last Dec. 26-30, when more
than 1,000 strikes were flown and
12 planes were lost.
At the same time the war con-
tinues, bulldozers at eight Army
property disposal facilities in
Vietnam are busy making junk
out of equipment the Army says
is not worth keeping and is too
expensive to give away.
Much of the material, being
.eft by the ebbing American mili-
tary presence, such as desks,
lockers, refrigerators and air con-
ditioners, is battered but usuable,
and some is new.
Most of the material will be sold'
for scrap at prices ranging from
$4 a ton for light iron and steel
to $100 a ton for aluminum.
LONDON R) - The jobless told,
in Britain approached three mil-
lion yesterday because of the pow-
er crisis and Britons were told to
expect even more hours without
lights and heat.
Great Britain was hit by a pow-
er blackout Monday caused by
fuel shortages from a six-week old
coal strike.
An independent three-man In-
quiry, headed by former High
Court Judge Lord Wilberforce, has
promised to recommend a pay set-
tlement by tomorrow. If accepted
by the government's Coal Board
and the boal miners' union, an
end could come by this weekend
to the worst power black-out since
the blitz in World War II.
The government - named panel
can recommend but not impose a
settlement. The Coal Board, how-
ever, has promised to accept
whatever recommendations the
inquiry makes for settling the
strike. The miners have made no
such pledge.
Neverttheless with the bite from
nationwide electric power cuts
getting worse each day, pressure
was building up on both sides 'to
reach an early settlement.
British industry, already down
to a three-day work week because
of the shortage of power supplies,
laid of f hundreds of thousands
of additional workers.

~ ~aids
(1971)
THE MOVIE industry has a ten-
dency to take a beautiful
piece of literature and destroy its
intimacy by splashing it across the
screen. Occasionally a miracle oc-
curs and a conscientious director
is able to admirably translate an
author's work. Such is the case of
Women in Love, the movie version
of D. H. Lawrence's sensual novel
directed by Ken Russell.
Lawrence is a most gifted writer
with a style that typifies great
literature. His characters are ex-
pertly drawn, his symbolic imagery
is unmatched, his details are pre-
cinct, and his themes capture the
essence of the human condition.
His enthusiasm for some mystic
form of sexuality has baffled many
and led others to worship him as
a modern prophet.
It is a frightful task for a di-
rector to even attempt to pre-
sent some semblance of such a
complex writer, but Russell has
answered the call and performed
magnificiently. He displays a sen-
sitive understanding of the strong
personal relationships which are
at the center of Lawrence's writ-
ing and unveils the elegance of his
colorful prose. With the aid of
script writer Larry Kramer, Rus-
sell exposes the intensity and pas-
sion of Lawrence's novel.
Women in Love is the story of
four people in love. The courtship
of an introspective school inspec-
tor, Birkin, who is attracted to a
school teacher, Ursula, and his
friend Gerald's affair with Ur-
sula's sister Gudrun.
Gerald is unable to make a
commitment to either Birkin who
with him, or to Gudrun, who fin-
ally rejects him and leaves him to
die in the snow as she pursues a
career as a sculptress.
The communion of these four
humans encompasses a variety of
themes in order to comprehend
their personal needs and the cre-
ation of a society where few can
live together in perfect intellectual
and instinctal harmony. Love,
hate, lust, power, and death are
the catalysts of their relationship.
The experience of life and a know-
ledgeable appreciation of daily liv-
ing keeps them going and Law-
rence's unique perception of what
life means and how it should be
lived makes his characters inter-
esting and thought - provoking.
Combined with this is the utiliza-
tion of beautiful colors to depict
attitudes and actions . and an
animal imagery to complete the
total picture.
THE NUDE WRESTLING scene
between Gerald and Birkin is so
well done that one feels as ex-
hausted as its participants. One is
captivated watching Gudrun dance
in front of a herd of cattle. And
although these are only two of the
best scenes, they constitute the
movie's brilliance.
The casting is excellent. Oliver
Reed (Gerald) and Jenny Linden
(Ursula), even though she re-
sembles Debbie Reynolds, are good.
Alan Bates, as Birkin, Lawrence's.
alter-ego in the book, looks like
a well-fed Lawrence. But, the best
performance is by Glenda Jack-
son (Gudrun) who is superb as
the character who represents
Lawrence's anti-feminist view.
rectors could hope to match the
development an author can attain
in the space of a novel, there are
bound to be some unfavorable
points. The character, Hermione,
is a strong point in the novel and
never really surfaces to much in
the movie. This can be excused for
a lack of time, but her importance
is reduced to minimal as she is
never fully developed. Sometimes
the scenes are sketchy and simply
strung together, especially in the
beginning of the movie. However,
a thread of continuity keeps them
from complete isolation. The dia-
logue is definitely Lawrence, but it
is missing the essential build-up
so that one may infer what is ac-
tually going on. Often the utter-
ance of a serious line is met with
laughter, because the audience is
not ready for a somber moment.
The poetry of Lawrence's descrip-
tions is missing, but partially made
up for by the superior photo-
graphy.
Perhaps these faults will disturb
English professors from giving
Women in Love their seal of ap-
proval, but for the average movie-
goer they are minimal and not
enough to be of any real bother.
If you can accept this film for
how well it handles'what it does
in the allotted time, and not con-
demn it for what it misses it is a
truly great film; and as good a
rendition of a novel as can be ex-
pected. Granted it could never be
as good as the original work, but it
is a marvelous film, well-worth
seeing, and hopefully it will in-
spire you to read the book, if you
already haven't.
