CHINA has effective control of the barren but strategic coral is- lands 250 miles east of Vietnam and 175 miles south of the 'Chi- nese island of Hainan. China's interest in the islands is believ- ed to be spurred by the possibili- ty of finding oil under the South China Sea. According to the South Viet- namese sources, U. S. authorities twice turned down requests for the U. S. 7th Fleet to furnish res- cue vessels in a search for a South Vietnamese patrol boat es- cort that apparently was sunk with 82 crewmen aboard. When the U. S. authorities turn- ed down this request, the South Vietnamese then asked for heli- copters, the -sources said. This also was rejected. THE REQUESTS were report- edly made at meetings between U. S. Ambassador Graham Mar- tin and South Vietnamese For- eign Minister Vuong Van Bac on Saturday and Sunday during the height of the sea battle. Up to 154 South Vietnamese troops are reported missing after a Red Chinese amphibious force of up to 500 men backed by MIG bombers overran three of the is- lands in the archipelago. China said in a broadcast it had captured personnel from the South Vietnamese side and that they "will be repatriated at an appropriate time." It did not say how many were captured nor did it make any mention of the American. THE COMMAND said South Vi- etnamese ships continued to search for survivors from the 82- man crew of a 700-ton gunboat sunk by a Chinese missile Sat- urday. Three South Vietnamese. ships damaged in the engagement have now returned to Danang Naval Base. South Vietnam's charge d'af- faires in Londan said yesterday his country would fight the Chi- nese claim of sovereignty over the Paracel Islands because of the strategic importance the Is- land group commands over Da Nang, South Vietnam's second largest city. LE PHANH KHE was address- ing a, press conference called to present South Vietnam's legal and historical case for sovereign- ty over the barren archipelago in the South China Sea. 1 r MOM "M Uof MClub LACROSSE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 7:30-THURS., JAN. 24 WINES FIELD LOCKER ROOM Corner of S.

The 7 to 2 decision said regu- lations that take no account of the individual's ability to work violate the 14th Amendment's guarantee of due process of law. AT THE SAME time, the court reserved judgment on whether it would permit the school boards to establish a firm date during "the last few weeks of preg- nancy'' on which all teachers would have to take maternity leave. U.S. dollar gains as French franc drops In other action the court: -Held unanimously- that . the San Francisco unified school dis- trict denied equal educational op- portunity to Chinese-speaking children by failing to help them overcome the barrier of English language instruction. -Agreed to decide whether prison authorities must guarantee inmates legal representation in disciplinary hearings. Agreed to review a lower court decision on state inspection powers which 12 states claim will cripple their air pollution control programs. The pregnancy decision was hailed by civil liberties lawyers who predicted it would not only benefit public employes, but would strengthen the hand of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in dealing with sim- ilar regulations established by} private employers. SPEAKING FOR the majority, Justice Potter Stewart said the court has long recognized that freedom of choice in matters re- lating to the family is a liberty protected by the 14th Amend- ment.

Division (St. Andrews Church) 761-WISE By The AP and Reuter LONDON - F'rance's weekend decision to unhitch the French franc from the jointly, floating block of European currencies yesterday caused confusion on the foreign exchange and gold markets along with widespread confusion in Europe. The prices of gold and other metals soared to record levels and the U.S. dollar continued to advance strongly in value, while France allowed the franc to de- preciate by five per cent and then sold dollars from its re- serves to prevent it from de- clining further. THE BRITISH POUND sterling touched a new low of 2.15 dollars, .but later recovered to around 2.17 dollars despite the announce- ment of a huge British December trade deficit of 792 million dol- lars..The Bank of England re-: portedly intervened to support the British currency. The dollar's advance was such as to virtually wipe out the ef- fects of the 'currency's 11.1 per cent devaluation last February. The French announced Satur- day they, were cutting their money loose from previously agreed fixed support limits and AL letting it rise and fall with mar- ket pressures within their own limits. SINCE THE RESULT was al- most certainly a lower value for the French franc, the decision amounted to a de facto devalua- tion. By making imports such as German cars more expensive and exports such as French . cheese less expensive, it will permit France to hang onto its foreign exchange reserves to pay for the sharply increased cost of petrol- eum. Official foreign exchange mar- kets remained closed in some European countries and Japan while governments pondered what to do about the French decision. BUT IN PARIS, London, Zur- ich and Milan, exchanges re- mained open and trading between banks in other cities showed the franc down against the collar and the British pound sterling. Dealers reported that the Bank of France bought francs on the Paris market to make them more scarce and keep their price from dropping more against the dollar and European currencies. case, the court said basic skills in English "are at the very core of what these public schools teach . . . We know that those who did not understand English are certain to find their class- room experiences wholly incom- prehensible and in no way mean- ingful.' The suit challenging San Fran- cisco's practice was brought on ! behalf of the city's non-English- speaking Chinese students who get no training in basic English. _ I F Al KID MARTIAL ART OF SELF DEFENSE Demonstration by TAKASHI KUSHIDA,1th dan III I STEVE"S 1313 SO.

Sponsored by Aikido Association of the University of Michigan Tuesday 22 January 3:00 !M Bldg.--Wrestling Room CALL MIKE TSUCH 1 dA FOR FURTHER INFO. 665-4864 Aikido is a. Japanese art of self-defense that is based on non-resistance rather than strength. An attack is never stopped; it is met and guided in a way that causes the attacker to be thrown by the force of his own attack. In addition to throws, Aikido also employ a number of wrist tech- niques. Although these techniques are extremely painful and can drive an aggress' to the ground immediately, they are not designed to break bones r cause infury. For this reason, Aikido can be said to be a kind' form of self-defense. The word aikido means "method, or way (do) for the Coordination, or Harmony (ai) of Mental Energy, or Spirit (ki)" Aikido is then harmony of the mind and of the body. We need not struggle against an opponent's strength. If we lead his mind, his body will follow. However, to lead an opponent's mind the . Aikidoist must be calm and relaxed and in control of his own mind and body. One of the most valuable aspects of Aikido is that it trains its students to be relaxed and in harmony with themselves and with others. These are things which can be carried into our daily lives and can help us to be better and more effective people.
