SOVIE T INTER VENTION BLAMED:
Afghan famine predicted
NEW. DELHI, India (AP) - Soviet
intervention in Afghanistan and the
continuing guerrilla war is critically af-
fecting the country's agricultural
production and there could be a famine
later this year, according to reliable
reports reaching India.
"It's very serious, and the Soviets,
who have their own shortfall, are going
to have difficulties helping the Afghans.
People are going to starve, really,"
said a West European diplomat based
in Kabul. He was interviewed after his
recent arrival in New Delhi.
The diplomat and other sources, who
declined to be identified, predicted a 30
per cent to 50 per cent drop in
Afghanistan's grain output this year.
THE SOVIET-BACKED regime of
President Babrak Karmal has announ-
ced Afghanistan will import thousands
of tons of fertilizer and wheat seeds
from the Soviet Union. But an informed
Kabul resident interviewed here
predicted the shipments would not
arrive in time to help.
He noted road transport in
Afghanistan is uncertain because of at-
tacks by Moslem guerrillas who have
been battling a succession of Marxist
regimes for nearly two years along with
the Soviet troops that began moving in-
to the country in December. He also
said the traditional 'seed distribution
system, through feudal landlords,
collapsed in the past year because of a
hastily improvised land reform
scheme.
"SOME PEASANTS have been
reported refusing government-supplied
seeds and others will not plow because
they received parcels of land without
compensating the previous owners in
violation of Islamic law," the source:
said.
According to official Afghan
statistics, 72 per cent of the country's
labor force is directly or indirectly
engaged in agriculture, and many
peasants have left the land to join the
guerrillas.
Grain production reportedly dropped
20 per cent in 1979 from an estimated
four miillion tons the year before,
largely because of a poor snowfall.
Snow provides much of Afghanistan's
irrigation water.

LONDON (AP) - The brutal but ap-
parently motiveless slaying of a crip-
pled, 87-year-old woman has provoked
police fears that a "killing-for-kicks"
trend has begun in normally peaceful
London.
Detectives said the city's historically
low homicide rate has been going up the
past few years and so have incidents of
brutal assaults. Often, authorities said,
the crimes have been committed for
small sums of money - or nothing at
all.
THERE WERE 179 homicides in
London in 1979 compared with 118 the.
year before, Scotland Yard reported.
And although that represents a tiny
fraction of the number of killings in
similarly sized cities like New York,
police here are worried. New York had
1,733 homicides last year, a police
spokesperson there said.
"We could be seeing the start of
don police
something very unpleasant - violence
for kicks and even killing for kicks,"
said a London detective investigating
the death of Jose Shattock, the 87-year-
old widow whose fully clothed body was
found dumped in a water-filled tub.
"It was an apparently motiveless and
vicious crime - yet another brutal at-
tack on a defenseless old lady," said
Chief of Detectives Mike Huins.
LAST CHRISTMAS Day, an 86-year-
old woman was beaten up in her home
in East London and died from a frac-
tured skull. On Jan. 9, a 53-year-old
woman was found strangled and
mutilated in her apartment in south-
west London.
A 62-year-old woman was stabbed to
death in her south London apartment on
Feb. 13.
Police arrested a man after the
killing Feb. 13, but he has not been
charged.
