Edward Kennedy said yesterday nearly half the money allocated for U.S. relief opera- tions in Laos actually is being spent to support Laotian military activities sup- ervised by the Central Intelligence Agency. The funds involved in what Ken- nedy called "a drainoff" amount to $27.4 million spent over the past four years. "The U.S. aid mission has been a cov- er for supplying paramilitary person- nel of the Laotian army," the Massa- chusetts Democrat said. However, the Agency for International Development said only "a relatively small percentage of refugees" aided in Laos are men who have been engaged in warfare there, and a larger percent- age are dependents of the fighting men. page three 6- U U - - - - Kennedy based his statement on a secret General Accounting Office report which he said fully documents inde- pendent finding of his senate subcom- mittee on refugees. He said the diversion did not include weapons or other purely military sup- plies, but rather, food, drugs, medical equipment and other supplies and serv- ices. "The Agency for International Devel- opment is aware of this, and tolerates it," Kennedy said in issuing a sum- mary of the censored GAO report. The GAO is an independent investigating agency responsible to Congress. An AID spokesman explained the sit- uation by saying that some Laotians who have fought against Communist forces could receive funds since they may qualify as refugees. "A relatively small percentage of re- fugees are irregular or paramilitary forces Who, because they have been dis- placed and are needy are therefore as much refugees as other Laotians who have not been engaged in the fighting," he said. "A larger percentage of the total are dependents of such people. "When Lao people need to be eva- cuated from areas of fighting or given food or other supplies, AID does not ex- clude from assistance those who have been or may in the future be engaged in fighting against North Vietnamese or Communist Pathet Lao." Kennedy said he believes supplies and services siphoned out of the aid program represent the primary source of U.S. support for Laotian military and para- military, or irregular, forces, and for their dependents. The report Kennedy summarized con- centrated on the AID village assistance program as one from which funds are being used "to support CIA military ac- tivities." That project supports dispensaries and hospitals, and received $.4 million in AID funds over the past six years. Kennedy said 46 per cent of the money was used in support of Laotian fighting units. CIA activities in the past have come under congressional scrutiny for their activities in foreign countries where they have often been charged with engineer- ing right-wing coups. ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL ALL SHOWS ALL TIMES admission only 9 c i l trk igttn 3atly Sunday, February 7, 1971 Ann Arbor, Michigan Nft . .- ...r news briefs By The Associated Press ROLLS ROYCE WORKERS appealed to the British government yesterday to take over manufacture of the luxury automobile that has become "a symbol of Britain." The failure of the company, which was forced into receivership Thursday as a result of skyrocketing costs in the development of an engine for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, has threatened the jobs of more than 40,000 workers. Government officials have stated the manufacture of the Rolls, Royce automobile would be sold to a private bidder, even though that division turned in profits last year. General Motors has reportedly indicated an interest in the car division. In Washington, Lockheed's board chairman met with the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense to discuss his company's financial situa- tion. Lockheed has decided to accept a $200 million loss instead of taking the matter of the cancelled Rolls Royce contract into litigation.

Abortions near births in N Y.C. NEW YORK (A' -- A recorded total of 69,000 women - half from outside the state - received abortions in New York City during the first six months of the liberalized state abor- tion law, health officials said yesterday. The number of live births was 77,000 during the period - about normal. "What the figures indicate is that we have succeeded in sharply reducing the number of illegal abortions," Gordon Chase, head of the Health Services Administration, told a news conference. "Both from that standpoint and the performance of hos- pitals and clinics in handling - -V- abortions, we're optimistic about the way the program Y has developed and stands to- day," he said. Calculating on the basis of plan rejected deaths occurring under legal aus- pices as otherrcountries do, the rate in New York City was 8 per 100,000-compared with 17 per 100,000 in Great Britain during the first year of legal abortions and 40 By The Associated Press per 100,000 in Scandinavia, he said.
