Singer.
International Politics Prof. A.
F. K. Organski called the as-
sassination "simply a human
trauma," adding, "It's cer-
tainly an uncomfortable mo-
ment for everyone, but ties be-
tween the U.S. and Saudi Arabia
aren't based specifically on the
existence of one moinarch."

HENRY predicted the new

U.S. officials to "move again
towards settlement of their con-

Henry also questioned the
choice of Khalid as Faisal's suc-

king certainly doesn't have the

Henry stated that Fahd ap-
peared the more viable suc-
cessor.
MITCHELL described Khalid
as "hardly a raging dynamo,
but not as mentally limited as
s o m e observers h a v e sug-
gested."
"He isn't as bright as Fahd
however," said Mitchell, "which
is why Fahd was expected to
take over the regime."
Although Mitchell rejects the
idea of any military coup in the
king's assassination, both Henry
and Organski lend credance to
the possibility. Henry further
suggests that the assassination
may be the resultof" a palace
coup.
"IT COULD be almost any-
thing," said Henry.
Organski explained that if
there was an underlying coup
operation "the Saudis would
probably cover it up."
"All we know right now is
what Saudi Arabia will tell us,"
said Organski. "Any additional
information w i 11 presumably
have to be dug out by U.S. re-
porters."
FewBy PAM YOUNG
Few women know about the
detection, prevention and treat-
ment of one of today's deadliest
diseases-cancer.
In an effort to break down the
information gap the Commission
for Women (CFW), Women's
Program Coordinator and the
local chapter of the American
Cancer Society are sponsoring a
three day cancer education
series that opened yesterday.
"THIS IS not a detection or
treatment clinic," B a r b a r a
Murphy, assistant chairwoman
for CFW emphasized. She add-
ed, "We are sponsoring an in-
formation center to make
women aware of what can be
done if the disease is caught
early."
The more than 150 people who'
visited the opening display yes-
terday favorably reviewed pam-
phlets on lung, mouth, breast
and uterine cancer. Beth Bar-
ber praised the effort, saying,
"This is excellent-if people
take advantage of it. If they
don't understand the information
they should go to their doctor
and he will explain it."
Ms. Ernest Brater, an Ameri-
! can Cancer Society volunteer
who had breast cancer, is work-
ing at the series to emphasize
the importance of an annual
check-up and a breast examina-
tion for women. "Ninety-five per
cent of the breast 'cancer cases
are found by -the woman her-
self through self-examination,"
she said.
BRATER, declared, "If this
clinic can get one person to the
doctor on time then it won't be
in vain."
Breast cancer killed nearly
33,000 American women in 1973.
The American Cancer Society
urges women to examine their
breasts monthly in order to
catch any traces of the disease
early.
Jane Schenden lauded yes-
terday's films for their thorough-
ness and suggested the series
he held again next year. Tracy
Stewart agreed, "It can't hurt
to have this every year if it
benefits people."
The series continues today
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the
Boulevard Rm.. of the North
Campus Commons. Tomorrow
the presentation will be held n
the Towsley Center, Rm. 2315,
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

condition of American foreign
policy in the Middle East.
KISSINGER suffered a major
setback last week with the col-
lapse of his personal diplomacy
aimed at arranging a Middle
East peace.
The instability introduced by
that failure could easily be
worsened because of Faisal's
assassination, one ranking
State Department source said,
Pentagon officials said they
regard the new leadership in
Saudi Arabia as pro-United
States and expect little, if any,
change in more than $1.6 billion
in recent arms sales to the
country.
THEY ALSO said they are not
worried about the safety of
some 1250 U.S. military ad-
visers, contractors, technicians,
and civilian employes of the
Defense Department now in
Saudi Arabia.
In Jerusalem, Gen. Haim
Herzog, Israel's ambassador-
designate to the United Nations,
said "it may be that the new
regime could open the door to
Soviet penetration" in Saudi
Arabia and "does open up pos-
sibilities for a widening of the
major power confrontation in
this area."
But another Israeli govern-
ment official said "We don't
know enough about the motives
behind his killing," to forecast
what may happen.
THE RADIO quoted a palace
spokesperson as saying: "In-
vestigation established the as-
sassin acted alone, and no one
else is behind the crime."
The account gave no hint as
to the fate of the assassin. Fais-
al was known to have had
Bedouin bodyguards who nor-
mally carried submachine guns
and daggers in golden scab-
bards.
Saudi Arabia lives by the
strict Islamic code called Sha-
ra, which requires the behead-
ing of murderers.
WHILE KING Faisal had
been critical of what he thought
was blind support for Israel,
U.S. officials lately credited him
with giving major support to
Kissinger's last peace efforts.
"All of these elements could
be affected by Faisal's deathl
and could lead to what Kissing-
er fears most, and that's in-
stability caused by uncertainty,"
one State Department official
said.
One of the first signs that this
instabiilty is having an effect
came when the American dollar
fell in value overseas and the
price of oil company stocks
dropped momentarily on some
stock markets.
FAISAL HAD led the 1973 oil
embargo and was a major fac-
tor in the dramatic rise in the
price of petroleum.
However, in recent months
his government had moderated
this course and was being
counted on jn Washington to
convince other Arab oil pro-
ducers to hold the line against
new increases in the cost of 'ril.
Now, some government eco-
nomists said, the whole situa-
tion is up in the air and "no-
body is certain that the new

THE UNITED States is al-
ready financing an emergency
airlift of food, ammunition and
oil to Phnom Penh, the besieged
capital of neighboring Cambo-
dia.
A State Department spokes-
person said in Washington there
will be a sealift from Da Nang
as well. He estimated there may
be 200 to 250 Americans still in
Da Nang, South Vietnam's sec-
ond largest city.
Washington officials said ne-
gotiations are under way with
World Airways of Oakland,
Calif., for the use of a Boeing
727 transport plane. It was un-
derstood discussions were also
under way with Flying Tiger

of two provinces to the south.
Government troops were out-

Vietnamese divisions and tanks

ASSOCIATED Press Special
Correspondent Peter Arnett re-
ported from Da Nang, 350 miles.
north of Saigon, that the city
was gripped by fear and a sense
of hopelessness as the North
Vietnamese noose tightened'
hoer by hour.
The city's normal population
of 500,000 has been swelled to,
between one and 1 million hN
refugees from the Communist
offensive and more w e r e
streaming in.
Arnett said it had been hoped!
that troops retreating from Hue,a
50 miles to the north, would help
with the defense of Da Nang.
But many of the soldiers ar-
rived in Da Nang without boots
and without weapons and just
merged into the masses of ref-c
ugees.
REFUGEES re a c h ing Da
Nang said tens of thousands of
Vietnamese soldiers and civil-
ians were frantically' fleeing
Hue, 50 miles northwest of Da
Nang, after the government an-
nounced it was abandoning the
old imperial city.
The refugees said swarms of
fleeing p e o p 1 e crowded the
Thuan An Beach 10 miles from
Hue waiting for ships to take
them to safety in a scene rem-
iniscent of the British evacua-
tion of Dunkerque. They 'said
soliders were throwing away
boots, pants and weapons and
wading toward navy and civilian
vessels standing off the ,beach.
Reports said troops retreating
from Hue and from the fallen
provincial ,capital of Quang Ngai
included members' of two divi-
sions once regarded as among
South Vietnam's best, the 1st
and the 2nd.
