SIERRA LEONE'S army commander, Brig. John Bangurah,
was arrested last night by his own senior officers only hours af-I
ter he announced he had taken over the government from Prime
Minister Siaka P. Stevens.
The takeover was led by Lt. Col. Sam King, who announced that'
Stevens would be restored to office. Stevens was ousted after a dawn
gun-battle in front of his home which brought about the West-Afri-
can country's second coup in four years.
The coup followed several months of simmering political unrest
after Stevens imposed a strict state of emergency last Sept. 1, giving
his regime wide powers.
Steven's whereabouts were not known for certain, but reliable
army sources reported he was being held in protective custody.I

FOUR SENATORS joined yesterday in describing Secretary
of State William P. Roger's Middle East settlement suggestions
as "dangerous, befuddled, unfair and folly."
Sen. Javits (R-N.Y.) and Sen. Jackson (D-Wash.) assailed the
suggestion that Israel agree in principle to withdraw from occupied
Arab territory, claiming that Israel is entitled to secure and recognizedj
borders as part of any settlement.
The senators were joined in their statement by two colleagues,
Sens. Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.) and Hubert H. Humphrey (D-:
Minn.).
A SENATE COMMITTEE yesterday charged that campus dis-
orders have been stirred up by groups seeking to create "rebellion,
revolution and eventual destruction of the 'system'."
The report of the Committee on Government Operations statedj
that failure of campus administrators to deal with legitimate griev-
ances "often has led students to question the effectiveness of using
appropriate channels and legitimate effort."

Faulkner, 50, beat off a chal-

government to pacify the 500,000
Catholics among Ulster's 1% mil-

Senate-to vote on SST,
Mansfield sees defeat

WASHINGTON (/P) - Senate
Majority Leader Mike M a n s -
field predicts defeat for the sup-
ersonic transport (SST) which
comes up for senate vote today.
Mansfield commented yester-
day as the final debate began.
with SST opponents summing
up their arguments, that the
1,800-mile an hour plane will
pollute the atmosphere, dam-
age fish and wildlife, cause un-
bearable noise and even bring on
an increase in skin cancer.
Backers of the plane count-
tered with arguments that na-
tional prestige is at stake, along
with a favorable balance of pay-
ments, the future of the U.S.
aerospace industry and thous-
ands of jobs.
At least one of the less than
one dozen undecided members
who apparenty hod the key -
Sen. James Buckley (Conserva-
tive - R., N.Y.) - had a late
afternoon meeting with the
President.

Nixon also issued an appeal
through Senate Republican
Leader Hugh Scott after a two
hour meeting with GOP c o n -
gressional leaders and other top
administration officials at the
White House.
The Pennsylvania senator said
the President showed "g r e a t
emphasis and great determina-
tion" in stating his support for a
continued federal role in SST
development and for overturn-
ing a House vote against t h e
project.
An Associated Press survey
showed 48 senators opposed out-
right or.leaning that way; 41 for
the SST or leaning, and nine
uncommitted. Two ailing senat-
ors are not expected to vote.
Nixon's new science advisor
said that if Congress denies
more funds for the supersonic
jetliner, "we may have to g e t

ital" to put a prototype in the
air.

pollution suit,
SRI
WASHINGTON (M)-A suit by
the state of Ohio seeking to pro-
tect Lake Erie from mercury pol-
lution- was thrown out of the Su-
preme Court yesterday in a ruling
that indicated the justices 'ere
narrowing their own jurisdiction.
Justice John M. Harlan said that
while'the Constitution plainly gives
Ohio the right to have the Supreme
Court judge the dispute, the Court's
role has been changing to the point
where justices cannot "devote
truly enormous portions of our
energy to such matters."
The suit called for a permanent
injunction against the discharge of
mercury compounds into Lake
Erie tributaries.
Harlan noted that justices are
not science experts. He suggested
Ohio take its suit against the Dow
Chemical Co. of Canada and Wy-
andotte Chemicals Corp. of Wyan-
dotte, Mich. to an Ohio State court
under the common law of nuisance.
