NAIROBI, Kenya {1P)-Americans preparing to study a solar eclipse
battled witchcraft Monday among spear-carrying tribesmen suspicious
that the scientists were about to blank out the sun.
Thousands of amateur eclipse-watchers began trekking north into
Kenya's frontier desert. Nairobi rent-a-tent operators said they were
booked full, and authorities trucked emergency water and gasoline
supplies to remote camp sites.
SCIENTISTS AND Roman Catholic mission priests attempted to
calm tribesmen at Loyengalani, an oasis beside Lake Rudolf where
about 80 American astroners have set up 'equipment on a point of
land nicknamed Cape Kennedy.
A spokesman said a witchdoctor among the warlike Samburu and
Turkana had spread the word that the foreigners were going to cause
the eclipse, not merely study it.
Primitive Kenyan tribes'regard eclipses as omens of drought and
disease. The terrifying darkness when the moon passed between the
earth and sun nearly 100 years ago is still told in legends as "the day
the sun stopped shining."
THE SPOKESMAN SAID the unexplained burning of a few Samburu
huts added to the tension. One camel-mounted warrior chased off a
scientist who tried to snap his picture," the spokesman added

A charmed life?
A Cambodian soldier wears a dead snake around his waist and
some beads as charms against injury as he prepares to enter
combat with his infantry unit near Phnom Penh. Meanwhile, in
Washington, the House blocked new spending for U.S. bombing
in Cambodia and the Senate took final action to cut off all present
funds for the bombing.
