Viet bases SAIGON (R) - North Vietnamese forces overran two more South Vietnamese bases below the demilitarized zone yes- terday, and drove to within seven miles of the provincial cap- ital of Quang Tri. Yesterday's attack, part of a six day thrust by Communist forces into the South, brought to 14 the number of outposts abandoned by South Vietnamese troops. In Washington, Defense Department officials condemn- ed the attack, but hinted privately that there was little the United States could do about it. From a military standpoint, officials said, it is plain that stepped-up air attacks are the main recourse left for U.S. forces in Vietnam.

George McGovern (D-S.D.), yesterday won an overwhelming victory in the crowded Wisconsin pri- mary thereby catapulting him into a front-runner position for the Democratic presiden tial nomination.

The motion was denied by Judg R. Dixon Herman who again i3 structed the jury to try to rea a decision. The jury has already convict the 48-year-old Berrigan on charge of smuggling a letter out of fe eral prison. He faces a possible year prison term on that coup plus two years he has remainin on a six year sentence for destro ing draft records in Maryland.

A few months ago, experts across the country had pre- dicted that only 25 to 30 per cent of the new voters would actually cast ballots. Monday's HRP victories figure - in a local election - was well over 50 per cent of those registered. In addition, students provid- ed a surprise by turning, in large majority, to the Human Rights Party. The party's can- didates averaged close to 60 per cent of the vote in student dominated precincts of the First, Second and Third wards. The student vote, alone, how- ever is not large enough to have electedaHRP in any of the city's five wards.

A certain amount of this old- er HRP vote can be ascribed to such aberrations as what is jokingly referred to as "the grandmother vote" - the can- didate's appeal to voters on a purely emotional level. In both Wechsler's and De- Grieck's campaign, however, there appear to have been a considerable number of voters- mostly Democrats-who turned to HRP out of disaffection with three years of Democratic ad- ministration in the city. Mayor Robert Harris yester- day maintained that "a smat- tering of disillusioned liberals" was in part responsible for the IHRP victory. The other surprise story in the election was the strong Democratic showing in the Fourth and Fifth Wards - tra- ditionally Republican turf. Based on recent elections, the Democrats gained considerable ground on the Republicans in both these wards - despite the large portion of the student vote captured by HRP. In the Fourth Ward, Demo- cratic contender Mona Walz fell only 80 votes short of Re- publican victor Bruce Benner. In contrast, Gilbert Lee, a Democrat, last year lost by 574 votes in the same ward to Re- publican opponent Richard Hadler.

The vote on the reso- lution, which was proposed by Councilman James Stephenson. was six to five in favor. Accord- ing to the City Charter, however, eight votes are needed to override a mayoral veto.

The American recognition is ex- pected to help ease tensions with India, which has been at odds with the United States over the war with Pakistan that led to creation of the new government. Meanwhile, India and Pakistan made direct contact for the first time since December's two-week war, Prime Minister Indira Gan- dhi said yesterday. Observers said that despite the small step toward peace talks, the See BANGLADESH, Page 10 OUTGOING PROFESSOR Warner criticizes U' policies, By JAN BENEDETTI "The University should be run like a democracy. Instead it's run like a business, like a mill to move people up the elite lad- der," says history Prof. Sam Warner. Warner, a faculty member for five years, will leave the Univer- sity at the end of the term for a teaching position at Boston Uni- versity in history and urban studies. He is an outspoken critic of the present University structure calling for extensive changes in the way of "democratization." "The people that large in- stitutions are supposed to serve usually aren't raenPRn+.C1 i ly to solve problems in the Uni- versity. "The students and faculty must function as a community. Others think these ideas are rad- ical, but actually they're quite ancient, dating back to the first colleges," he says. A major- obstacle to change, according to Warner, lies in self- imposed isolation by both stu- dents and faculty. "The standard faculty notion is to say how can we keep this little world for ourselves, while students say 'I'm only here for four years, what can I do?'." Warner has been actively in- volved in the controversial Pro- gram for Educational and Social Singer also said academic prob- lems, the political science depart- ment chairman's "dim view of pacifists," and poor management contributed to the center's demise.
