A SOVIET MILITARY ATTACHE in Jordan said yesterday
that his government is ready to consider request of military aid
from any Arab country if the United States gives more arms to
Israel.
Speaking at a news conference markirg the 25th anniversary
of the end of World War II. Co-. Evgeni Manohin said the Soviet
Union cannot stand idle in the face of dangers created by "Amer-
ican imperialism in Southeast Asia,
Manohin refnsed to comment when asked whether the Soviets
would retaliate if the Israeli air force attacked Soviet-built missile
sites in Egypt and areas where there are Soviet advisers.

decree of efficiency and that they can retaliate against any Israeli
attack"

IRISH REPUBLICAN GUN-RUNNING under fake Red Cross
labels raised the specter of armed violence in Northern Ireland
yesterday.
Rev. Ian Paisley. Ulster's militant Protestant leader, urged the re-
arming of police and special squads for defense against the smuggled
arms allegedly destined for Roman catholics in the North.
"The Northern Ireland government must either show it has the
determination and courage to defend this province," PaiSley said, "Or
get out and leave the task to those who do have the determination
and courage."
Prime Minister Jack Lynch of the Irish Republi tried to ease
tensions by firing two members of his cabinet accused of attempting
to run guns into Northern Ireland illegally. He told newsmen he hoped
this would illustrate his determination to pursue "peace., law and
order-"
THE FLIGHT OF APOLLO 14 will be postponed at least until
Dec. 3, the space agency said yesterday. Its landing target will be
the Fra Mauro region that Apollo 13 never reached.
Apollo 14 had been scheduled originally for launch on Oc. 1. Its
crew was to land at the rim of the crater Littrow in the Sea of
Serenity.
However, the exploion that aborted the moon landing of Apollo
13 and endangered the lives of uts passengers last month became the
object of an intensive investigation by review boards delaying
progress. The cause of the explosion has been tentatively identified
as a short circuit in the fan motor in the No, 2 oxygen tank.
"Our present asssessment is that the modifications to the oxygen
tanks in the service module that have already been Identified will
require several months and that Apollo 14 cannot be launched before
Dec. 3," said Dr. Thomas 0. Paine, NASA administrator

Law Prof. Robert L. Knauss
has been elected chairman of
the Senate Advisory Committee
on University Affairs { SACUA ..
the executive committee of the
faculty Senate Assembly.
Knauss, who secedes Educa-
tion Prof. Joseph Payne. was se-
lected Monday by SACUA.
In the ten years he has been
at the University. Knauss has
consistently been active in Uni-
versity affairs. Most recently.
Knauss was instrumental in
drafting a set of proposed Re-
gental bylaws which aimed at
increasing the role of students
in University decision and rule
mamig.
When asked recently about

the faculty's role at the Univer-
sity, Knauss said, "Relatively
speaking, the faculty here has a
stronger voice in University af-
fairs than faculties at other
schools. This Is one of the main
reasons I feel we ye had relative
peace on campus with n~o violent
police confrontation-s to date."
In light of this Increased in-
volvement, Knauss expressed
some dissatisfaction with the
Regents autonomous decisions
on conduct rules for students.,
"The Regents were out-of-char-
acter to pass the conduct rules
without consulting the faculty
mn view of the past years of fac-
ulty participation," he said
"There has been a change in
the faculty's role at the Univer-

shty in the last few years as fac-
ulty involvement wiith student
concerrns has continually in-
creased.," he continued. "Much
of this involvement Is in re-
sponse to student-motivated is-
sues, such as the bookstore in-
cident last fall.-
Knauss expain~ed that the fac-
ulty s attitude towards the Uni-
versity's role within our society
has chan~ged in the last few
years. as evidenced by its ;:ar-
ticipation in the Vietnam rnora-
torium activities.
In explainig general faculty
priorities. Knauss said that the
body is ccr'rently concerned with
maintaining a peaceful campus.
"We've got to work to prevent
an~other Kent" Knauss said.

depriving the military of the nec-
essary funds,
Mayor John V. Lindsay of New
York urged a new "not-so-silent
majority" of the American people
to use lawful means to reverse the
President's policies in Southeast
Asia-.
'A turn to violence by youth,"
he said. "would further embitter
the nation. It would stiffen the
backs of the warmakers. It would
alienate most Americans, strength-
en the forces of repression and
damage or even destroy the whole
purpose of the movement-which
is peace."

he will not talk to them or meet
with them or take cognizance of
