The announcement from 10 Downing Street opened a three- week campaign likely to be the most bitter and stormy for dec- ades. A great divide separates the two main political parties on methods of controlling inflation and on the challenge to constitu- tional authority posed by a threatened miners' strike against the government's wage policy. AFTER announcing that Par- liament would be dissolved to- day, Heath wrote to the miner s president, Joe Gormley, urging him °in the national interest to defer the st] 270,000 mine set to start urday. Gormley favored post tant leadersc and Norther posed any r executives w sion at a me ONCE AS its incalcula' ready weak might be ha Some mine feared a wa they tried to The gover to go beyon anti-inflation miners more cent pay rise el-ec rike by the nation's rs.

Now the issue goes to the electorate. CO N S FeR VATIVES define the overriding issue as, "who runs the country-the gov- ernment or the trade unions?" The conservative rally cry will be "firm action for a fair Britain." The oppositiop, under Harold Wilson and the astute party vet- eran James Callaghan, is ex- pected to campaign on the slo- gan "Back to work with labor." THE LATEST public opinion poll gave Labor a three per cent lead over the Conservatives, but the survey was taken before the miners decided to strike after members voted by 81 per cent for a stoppage. H EA TH, who is taking an immense gamble in putting his government's record to the pub- lic test 17 months before he is required to do so, was cheered by his supporters in the. House of Commons yesterday afternoon. Party backbenchers, despite qualms in some quarters, have been generally hawkish in urging him to draw the line against trade union militancy and to re- fuse to give in to the miners. Insults flew in the Commons, providing a glimpse of the hard campaign ahead. The Prime Minister faced shouting and hec- kling from the opposition during his usual twice-a-week question time. The industrial feud that pushed Britain into an early general election opened its decisive round in the splendors' of a govern- ment mansion where Heath out- lined an anti-inflation program to the world's press last October. Coming on top of two previous drives to curb prices, the pro- gram was labeld "Stage Three." It set a general limit of seven per cent on pay increases but ac- companied this with a complex set of escape clauses for spe- cial circumstances. THE WHOLE package was swiftly rejected by the Trades Union Congress (T.U.C.) repre- senting 10 million British work- ers. From then on the words "Stage Three" became a battle cry, hurled on all sides with in- creasing bitterness. It was only nine days after the launching of stage three that the first of the major Arab oil blows threw Britain and the rest of the Western world into its energy crisis. This was the 70 per cent price increase followed by the five per cent production cut. WHAT IS THE * GREATEST FORUM ON EART? Well, the people in the History Department are concerned about questions of CURRICULUM and TEACHING, and we thought that if EVERYBODY could get together and talk about how departmental offerings might be improved, that would be a start. Some of the questions we will be discussing are: * What are people looking for in lower level history classes? upper level history classes? * What is the purpose of introductory courses? * In what ways should undergraduate and graduate education differ? " What should the role of teaching fellows and graders be?

Dean disbarred ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Charged with unethical, unprofessional and unwarranted conduct in the Watergate affair, former presidential counsel John Dean has been disbarred in Virginia. The action came Wednesday from a three-judge circuit court panel. It can be ap- pealed. Dean, 35, has pleaded guilty to a federal felony charge. He did not address the court in his own defense. The action applies only in Virginia, but such a move usually leads to similar actions in other jurisdictions. Panama treaty signed PANAMA CITY - The United States yesterday agreed in principle to surrender its "sovereignty in perpetuity" over the Panama Canal, in what Secretary of State Henry Kissinger described as the dawn1 of a new era in U.S. relation with Latin America. Kissinger and Pan-I amanian Foreign Minister Juan Tack yesterday signed an eight-point agreement of principles here which will guide negotiators drafting1 a new treaty on the Canal Zone. Housewife benefits backed WASHINGTON - Two women members of Congress who say the cash value of women's work in maintaining households has been neglected too long have introduced legislation for Social Security coverage of homemakers. Reps. Barbara Jordan (D-Tex.) and Martha Griffiths (D-Mich.) said in interviews the bill has little chance of early enactment. But they said it will start talk and ultimately should lead to recognition of the idea that women who cook, clean house, wash clothes, and tend and transport children are just 'as truly! economic producers as those who go to an office.'

They seized the hostages after an abortive attempt to blow up the Shell Oil refinery in Sing- apore. Two of them said they be- longed to Japan's Red Army, and two claimed membership in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The nine gunmen in the Jap- anese Embassy here also have identified themselves as mem- bers of the Red Army ,the Popu- lar Front for the Liberation of Palestine and a group called the Sons of Palestine. THE GUNMEN, who seized the embassy Wednesday along with 16 hostages, had demanded that the Tokyo government send a plane to Singapore, pick up the four other terrorists and bring them to Kuwait. IN THE PAST, Kuwait has been a lenient, but reluctant host to pro-Palestinian guerrillas who have sought sanctuary on its soil. It has become embarrassed, however, by its reputation as a haven for terrorists, particularly since other Arab governments and many Palestinian guerrilla leaders have grown increasingly critical of unsanctioned opera- tions that create bad -publicity and accomplish little toward the liberation of Israeli held ,terri- tory.
