MARKLEY DINING ROOM NO. 3
ADMISSION 75c
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT yesterday said it intends to
sue the major television networks for alleged anti-trust violations.
In a brief announcement in Washington the department said
it had advised the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), the Na-
tional Broadcasting Company, the American Broadcasting Com-
pany and Viacom International, Inc. of its intent. Viacom operates
cable television systems and the syndicated program business for-
merly owned by CBS.'
Department spokesmen declined to discuss the suits until they
are filed, possibly within'a few days.
A spokesman for CBS said that the government seeks to trans-
form the networks into conduits for independently produced program-
ming.
PRESIDENT NIXON arrived in Ottawa, the Canadian capi-'
tal, late last night for a three-day visit aimed at improving the
atmosphere between the two allies, now divided by serious econ-
omic difficulties.
Neither U.S. nor Canadian officials expect Nixon's single 2%-
hour meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau
to do much more than touch broadly on economic differences.
The divisions between the two countries are reflected in threat-
ened demonstrations by several groups against so-called U.S. im-
perialism and U.S. Vietnam policies.
Unprecedented security arrangements have been taken to pro-
tect the President. Nixon will travel to political and social appoint-
ments in a bullet-proof limousine and his exact schedule and travel
routes are being kept as vague as possible.
CONSUMERS UNION yesterday said that the nation's air-
lines are overcharging passengers by an estimated $15 million
a year on 27,000 routes. The announcement came one day after
the government issued a new regulation on fares.
The routes cited in the latest Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
ruling and the upcoming issue of Consumers Reports magazine are!
those with unpublished fares.
As of now the rates are computed by adding up the combined
rates for two legs on a flight. Consumers Union charged that most,
ticket agents are adding wrong.
The new CAB ruling passed Wednesday states that fares must
be published for all routes, and sets a standard formula for com-
puting fares.

THE SOVIET AND EAST GERMAN PRESS are the only
ones in Europe paying more than scant attention to the Angela
Davis trial.
Moscow's press sees the San Jose proceeding as a "mockery of
justice," and the East German government maintains its formal
campaign for acquittal.
Western Europe confines itself to brief, factual reports of the;
trial, while most Communist satellite countries are silent.

Six cities struck,

BELFAST () - Terrorists set
of f a chain of explosions across
Northern Ireland yesterday, leav-
ing an elderly woman dead and
a trail of destruction in the big-
gest upsurge of violence since Bri-
tain's takeover.
Security forces blamed the eight
blasts in six cities and villages on
outlaws of the Irish Republican
Army.
They saw the offensive as an
IRA challenge to Britain's impo-
sition of direct rule on Northern
Ireland and a riposte to pressure
by Roman Catholic moderates for
a curbing of violence.
Security forces in Belfast also
were harassed by more than a
score of bomb hoaxes at factories
and city stores, heightening the
tense atmosphere that followed a
relative three-week lull in the
guerrilla campaign.
The woman's death in the Pro-
testant town of Ballymoney raised
the province's fatality toll to 301
in 32 months of sectarian violence.
She died when a bomb ripped
through the town's main street,
turning her home into a blazing
inferno.dHer husband escaped with
cuts and bruises. It was the first
bombing in the County Antrim
town.
The former prime minister of
Northern Ireland, Brian Faulkner,
lashed out at the continued exist-
ence of Catholic ghettos in Lon-
donderry and Belfast where the
army normally does not venture.
Faulkner said Britain's new ad-
ministrator for the province, Wil-
liam Whitelaw, appears to be
making the same mistake as the
former Labor government in 1969
which "should have asserted the
full and impartial rule of law ev-
erywhere."
Faulkner was ousted last month
when Britain suspended the Pro-
testant-dominated provincial Par-
liament for one year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
U.S. military has spread herbi-
cides over Vietnam's forests
without knowing how much
damage the poisonous chemicals
might cause.
The National Academy of Sci-
ences' (NAS) Committee on the
Effect of Herbicides in Vietnam
released in March its interim
report, which indicates it may
take as long as five years for
a herbicide-treated tree to die.
The study, funded by the De-
fense Department, asserts that
"this lag in killing effect" was
not taken into account by pre-
vious studies, which were con-
ducted by the army only one or
two years after defoliation 0op-
erations.
An earlier report by the Herb-
icide Assessment Commission of
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science es-
timated that one-fifth of South
Vietnam's fdrest lands were de-
foliated between 1962 and 1969.
Use of defoliants reached a
peak in 1967 and declined some-
what in the following three
years. The Army claims its use
of herbicides is now restricted
to the perimeters of military in-
stallations. The Defense Depart-
ment suspended the use of
Agent Orange, the most widely
used herbicide in Vietnam, in
April 1970 when it was learned
that Agent Orange caused fetus-
deformation in laboratory ani-
mais.
The NAS study was authorized
by Congress in 1970 as a result
of the controversy generated by
the use of herbicides in Vietnam.
Its conclusions were scheduled
for release early this year, but
the NAS has asked that the
final report be delayed until
August of next year.
Many U.S. scientists have re-
fused to participate in the study
because it is financed by the De-
fense Department, according to
NAS officials.
The American Anthropological
Association last year adopted a
code of ethics condemning all
anthropological research financ-
ed by the U.S. military. NAS
officials say that to date they
have been unable to recruit ex-
perienced anthropologists to ex-
amine the effects of crop poi-
soning on Vietnam's Montagn-
ard tribespeople.
The NAS committee is chaired
by Dr. Anton Lang of Michigan
State University and consists Of
fifteen scientists, including sev-.
en from the U.S. and others
from Great Britain, South Viet-
nam, Canada, the Philippines
and Sweden.
