Neighboring India, the second most populous nation, mean- while is abandoning a steriliza- tion program under political pressures. THE CHINESE rate of popu-1 lation growth "has gone down year by year since 1965 necause of the promotion of birth con- trol," Hsinhua, the official Chi- nese news agency, said over the weekend. It said annual growth rates of 2.5 per cent in Hopei and Kiang- su provinces in 1965 had dropped to around one per cent, while the populous cities of Shanghai and Peking showed rates below 0.6 per cent. The agency gave no figures for China as a whole. No exact figure has been given on China's ponulation, but Hsinhua and other publications usually set it at 800 million. HSINHUA SAID China's-late Communist Chairman Mao Tse- tung "paid great attention to family planning. He pointed out that mankind should control its population, which shouli grow in a planned manner." It said the late Premier Chou En-la often offered advice to workers in the field cf birth control and maternity care and noted that Hua Ko-feng, the present party chairman, had issued many important diec- tives on the subject. The agency accused former president Liu Shao-chi, late de- fense minister Lin Piao and the so-called "Gang of Four" led by Mao's widow, Chiang Ching, of spreading "feudal, bourgeois and revisionist views no mar- riage and childbirth." Chiang Ching, it said, "even opposed the use of films to pub- licize late marriage, birth con- trol and related sicentific knowl- edge." ** * Arab nations unify KHARTOUM, The Sudan-The Presidents of Egypt, Syria and Sudan yesterday signed a joint declaration setting up a unified political command for the three countries. "This is the nucleus of a great unionist structure . . for con- fronting the challenges facing the Arab nation," Syrian Presi- dent Hafez Assad said. THE DECLARATION "af- firms the will and determina- tion of the Arab nation, to pre- serve its sovereignty and inde- pendence," Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said.

THE 65-YEAR-OLD Northern Ireland-born bishop will not go behind bars, however. The gov- ernment -decided to deport him in what was officially called an effort to deny Lamont "spec- tacular martyrdom." The Dilemma the missionaries face when guerrillas come to them for food or medicine is not just a moral one. A magistrate in the garrison town of Umtali who recently sentenced two black Catholic clerics to a year in jail each for not informing on "terrorists" sirrned up the missionaries' plight: "If they complied with the law, they were at the mercy of the terrorists. And if they didn't they would be punished by the courts." TUESDAY SPECIAL 5-10 P.M. ALL YOU CAN EAT!

By our parents, our grandparents, our friends and neighbors, the media, everyone. It's hard to remember we ever had a choice in the first place. But there is a choice. Having a child is a tremendous responsibility and an important decision. Probably the most important decision we'll ever make. And once it's made, it can never be undone. Just remember... you do have a choice. So think about it, and do what's right for you. For more information write National Organization for Non-Parents 806 Reisterstown Road Baltimore.
