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. N. Viet attack U. S. predicts o two fronts 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.

Swiss authorities say she later withdrew the money, then put it in another account.

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.

FIND OUT YOURSELF WHY EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT- i with Glenda Jackson (Academy Award: Best Actress), Oliver Reed, Alan Bates FRIDAY and SATURDAY: Andy TRASH ~ ~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.
