Families of 142 POWs get the best news ever

★ POWs

Continued from Page 1

Alvarez has been held
longer than any other
American in North Viet-
nam — since Aug. 5, 1964
— and is second in length
of captivity to Army Maj.
Floyd J. Thompson, a pris-
oner in the South since
March 26 of that year.

Thompson's name was
not on the initial list made
public yesterday. He has
been in captivity longer
than any other US military
man in history.

Each of the relatives
across the country was no-
tified by officers in charge
of liaison with families of
POWs.

Ramsey and the seven
other civilians will be re-
leased by the Viet Cong
tonight (Washington time)
at a small airstrip at Quan
Loi near An Loc, 60 miles
north of Saigon near the
Cambodian border. Also to

be freed there are 17
Army personnel, one Air
Force man and one ma-
rine.

At the same time, the
North Vietnamese are to
release 115 American
POWs in Hanoi — 70 Navy
Force officers, 42 Navy
men and three marines.

All 142 are to be flown
to Clark Air Base outside
Manila for three days of
medical tests and interro-
gation before flying on to
US military hospitals near
their hometowns.

An 18-member US team
will fly to Hanoi's Gia
Lam airport from the Phil-
ippines today to meet the
115 Americans. About
three hours after the
team's arrival in Hanoi,
the POWs, carefully
shielded from publicity,
were expected to leave for
the Philippines aboard
three C141 ambulance
planes.

The 27 Americans to be
released by the Viet Cong
at Quan Loi will be flown
by helicopter to Saigon's
Tan Son Nhut airport,
where they will transfer to
a medical evacuation plane
for the flight to Clark,
about 50 miles north of
Manila.

Because of the shorter
flight, the freed Viet Cong
captives may reach Clark
ahead of the contingent
from Hanoi. Once at Clark,
each man will be per-
mitted a long-distance
telephone call to loved
ones in the United States.

The POW list, delivered
in two parts by North
Vietnam and the Viet
Cong, was given to Maj.
Gen. Gilbert Woodward,
chief US representative on
the Joint Military Com-
mission, in Saigon yel-
day morning.

The list was transmitted
immediately to Washing-
ton, where it to Washing-
ton.

at the Defense Department
at 11:30 a.m. At that mo-
ment, a Pentagon spokes-
man told reporters that
"we are now notifying the
next of kin."

The State Department,
which notified the civil-
ians' relatives, said infor-
mation from the Viet Cong
indicated that none suf-
fered any serious health
problems. Four of the
eight civilians apparently
were captured during the
Communist Tet offensive
in 1968.

The State Department
said the Viet Cong were
holding a total of 21
American civilians, includ-
ing a second Foreign Ser-
vice officer, Philip Wallace
Maynard, 51, who was
captured Jan. 31, 1968, as
well as five foreign na-
tionals.

At the same time tonight
as the US prisoners are
freed, South Vietnam is to
release 2000 Communist

captives, and the Commu-
nists are to free 1000
South Vietnamese.

Saigon military sources
said the government
planned to release an addi-
tional 4000 Communist
POWs during the rest of
the week. If all goes well
with the initial prisoner
exchange.

The American service-
men and civilians to be re-
leased tonight (Monday

morning, Saigon time), are
about one-fourth of the
594 surviving POWs the
Communists have ac-
knowledged holding in
Vietnam and Laos. The
rest are to be freed at 15-
day intervals until the US
troop withdrawal and
prisoner release is com-
pleted by March 28 — the
end of the 60-day period
provided under the Paris
cease-fire agreement.

Analysis... Why Kissinger is in Hanoi

By Crocker Snow Jr.
Globe Asian Bureau

BANGKOK, Thailand — It's fitting that the first American POWs will walk from their prisons in Hanoi while Henry Kissinger is on the scene, but his pivotal mission to North Vietnam is designed to help build the peace more than to pick up the pieces of the long war.

Kissinger, who arrived in Hanoi yesterday, has publicly described his mission as "exploratory" and has compared it to his first breakthrough trip to Peking in July 1971.

The explorations in Hanoi will
cover a range of issues including the

North Vietnamese officials in
Hanoi for 4½ hours. Story, Page

week tour of Southeast Asia.

release of American prisoners, the
partially effective truce in South
Vietnam, and the intricate, interna-
tional peace-keeping machinery in-
volving commissions in Saigon and
high-level conferences in Paris de-
signed to support the still-fragile
peace.

Kissinger also will discuss how

American funds might be used to
help rebuild those parts of North
Vietnam damaged by US bombing.

Both President Nixon and Kissinger in separate interviews in Washington in the last two weeks have mentioned reconstruction as a major matter on the agenda in Hanoi. It is clear, after Kissinger's one-day stop here Friday en route to Hanoi, that the subject will first be discussed in generalities only.

In fact, the President's represen-
tative is likely to do far more listen-
ing than talking on this account
today and tomorrow.

thing short of outright nationaliza-
tion."

Hartke said he will hold sub-
committee hearings on the pro-
posal.

Aside from the Penn Central, the
authority would operate these lines:
Central Railroad of New Jersey; the
Boston and Maine; the Erie-Lacka-
wanna; Reading; Lehigh Valley; Le-
high and Hudson River; and the 17-
mile-long New Hope and Ivyland in
Pennsylvania.

Within the authority's jurisdic-
tion and subject to possible takeover
would be these profitable lines: Del-
aware and Hudson; Bangor and
Aroostook; and the Maine Central.

In ordering a temporary halt to a
strike against the Penn Central
Thursday, Congress required the
Nixon Administration to draw up a
plan for operating the railroad.

The Federal Railroad Administra-
tion already has unveiled its ap-
proach to Penn Central profitability:
wholesale abandonment of track and
service to scores of communities,
and the laying off of 5700 employees.

Hartke said it is not enough to
subsidize rail operations or simply to
funnel Federal tax money into the
office of railroad managers.

And, Hartke continued, "there is

little likelihood of Congress dumping
millions of dollars down the Penn
Central drain without protection of
the taxpayer interest."

The Administration has already
turned down a request by Penn
Central trustees for $600 million-
$800 million in Federal assistance.

Penn Central was losing $1 mil-
lion a day before bankruptcy, reor-
ganization, and it is still losing mon-
ey although it pays no taxes, retires
no debt, pays no dividends.

Hartke quoted the line's trustees
as predicting they will have to shut
the railroad down March 1 if they
do not get $1.6 billion from Federal
and private sources.

... nominated

William L. Springer, a former Illinois congressman, was nominated for a seat on the Federal Power Commission Friday by President Nixon in San Clemente, Calif. Springer, 63, a Republican, had served continuously in Congress for 22 years until he retired last year.

As Sen. John C. Stennis continued "to show gradual improvement" from gunshot wounds received during a robbery Jan. 30, police and FBI agents in Washington reported no progress Friday in the search for his assailants. "The state of the case is the same as it was the night it happened. It is open," District of Columbia Deputy Police Chief Mahlon E. Pitts said.

Alexander Bodi, editor of the Palo Alto Times, believes courts should go straight to the top and jail publishers, not reporters, for refusing to reveal news story sources.

## Ecologists confront Marshfield

By R. S. Kindleberger
Globe Staff

MARSHFIELD — A showdown is approaching on efforts by conservationists in this fast-growing South Shore community to protect a 20-acre island on the edge of Massachusetts Bay from development.

The conservationist-developer clash, which has become widespread in recent years, appears to have taken on particular bitterness in the case of Bartletts Island, an outcropping of woods in the midst of salt marsh where the North and South rivers join before flowing out to sea.

Both sides have hired lawyers and are threatening to go to court.

The dispute has also been marked by less legal maneuvers.

Workers arrived at the island one morning four months ago to find an $18,000 combination loader and back hoe vandalized beyond repair. The tires had been slashed, and the machine had been started up after sand had been introduced into the hydraulic system, according to John Murdock, the developer.

He said that attached to the machine was a hand-lettered note: "This is the work of an eco fox. Stop filling marshlands. If you or others persist you will be bombed."

Murdock has not said the North and South Rivers Watershed Assn.

He can campaign to keep the island "an area of our right of worthlessness."

SUMMARY OF NETWORK NEWS IN THIS ISSUE

ROGER MUDD, CBS: The identities of the first American prisoners to be released from VN under the terms of the cease fire became known today. The men will begin their long journey home tomorrow night and their names were sent to the Pentagon. BOB SCHIEFFER, CBS: The complete list of men to be released was received here about noon. As expected, it contained the names of 115 men who will be released in Hanoi, and the names of 27 Americans who will be set free near Quan Loi, just north of Saigon. A special Pentagon command post has been set up to direct the prisoner transfer. Among those in the first groups coming out of VN, Navy Commander Everett Alvarez of Santa Clara, Calif., who was shot down over NVN August 5, 1964, shortly after the incidents in the Gulf of Tonkin that triggered the first US air raids against VN. And Douglas Kent Ramsey, a civilian foreign service officer from Boulder City, Nev., who was captured by the VC in 1966.

GARRICK UTLEY, NBC: On the eve of the first prisoner of war release, peace has still not come to all of IC. In Cambodia communist soldiers have attacked and captured the town of Ban Nam. They've also cut the road between Ban Nam and Phnom Penh. In Laos an American transport plane has been shot down. It belonged to a civilian company flying for the US Government. Two Americans and a Philippine crewman were onboard the plane when it was shot down near Thakhek. A May Day call was heard from the pilot, then a groan, and then nothing. The military situation in Laos is also very serious. The fighting has been going badly for the government's side. The communists are trying to capture as much territory as possible before a cease fire goes into effect there, possibly this coming week.

MUDD, CBS: Henry Kissinger, who's in Hanoi for what he calls a visit of goodwill and reconciliation, talked for more than four hours today with NVNese officials. BERT QUINT, CBS: It had been a quick overnight visit to Vientiane, barely time for Dr. Kissinger to discuss the Laotian cease fire now being negotiated, and perhaps to hear a plea by the government that he urge NVN to withdraw its troops from this country once the truce begins.

UTLEY, NBC: The four-party military commission in Saigon today voted to investigate an incident on Thursday in which communist members of a commission field team were attacked by an angry crowd of SVNese. Several people were hurt, including some Americans. The rock and bottle throwing incident is only the latest in a series of complaints the NVNese and VC are making about their treatment and the result is that the real work of keeping the peace is being delayed. PHIL BRADY, NBC: Since coming to Hue the NVNese members of the Joint Military Commission have lived in these barracks. They're isolated from the rest of the city. At first, conditions here were so bad, the NVNese had to order food from a hotel.

MUDD, CBS: The SVNese Government officially apologized for yesterday's mob attack on NVNese and VC officers in the Central Highlands. Strong anti-communists feelings among the SVNese also came out today in another incident, furthur north in the City of Hue. RICHARD WAGNER, CBS: Because the NVNese are quartered in a compound inaccessible by land, the demonstration was held on one of the many branches of the Perfume River, winding through the City of Hue.

UTLEY, NBC: Commander Lloyd Bucher is Chief Staff Officer of mine clearing ships.

Identities of POW Releases Known

ROGER MUDD: The identities of the first American prisoners to be released from VN under the terms of the cease fire became known today.

BOB SCHIEFFER: The complete list of men to be released was received here about noon. As expected, it contained the names of 115 men who will be released in Hanoi, and the names of 27 Americans who will be set free near Quan Loi, just north of Saigon.

Those 27 had been held at secret prison camps in SVN.

A special Pentagon command post has been set up to direct the prisoner transfer. As the names were received here by teletype, information was relayed to specially designated military officers around the country. Those officers notify the families.

Among those in the first groups coming out of VN, Navy Commander Everett Alvarez of Santa Clara, Calif., who was shot down over NVN August 5, 1964, shortly after the incidents in the Gulf of Tonkin that triggered the first US air raids against NVN.

Secretary of State Rogers personally notified Ramsey's family today.

If all goes as expected, the first prisoners will come out of VN late Sunday night, Washington time. They'll be flown directly to Clark Airbase in the Philippines where they'll begin extensive medical tests and intelligence debriefings.

Bob Schieffer, CBS News, the Pentagon.

Agnew Back From Asian Tour

MUDD: President Nixon today welcomed VP Agnew back to the

States after his tour of eight SE Asian countries.

Agnew landed at San Clemente and talked with the President for about 90 minutes at the Western White House.

Mr. Nixon said that the release of American prisoners of war was moving on schedule.

Kissinger Talks With NVNese Officials

MUDD: Henry Kissinger who's in Hanoi for what he calls a visit of goodwill and reconciliation, talked for more than four hours today with NVNese officials.

Kissinger's long day began in Vientiane, Laos.

Bert Quint's report starts there.

BERT QUINT: It had been a quick overnight visit to Vientiane, barely time for Dr. Kissinger to discuss the Laotian cease fire now being negotiated, and perhaps to hear a plea by the government that he urge NVN to withdraw its troops from this country once the truce begins.

NVNese diplomats here say they do not consider Kissinger's visit to Hanoi an unusual or momentous event in itself, but rather a normal step in a delicate new relationship.

Kissinger made it plain before leaving Vientiane that he too considers the relationship delicate.

HENRY KISSINGER: We are prepared to begin a new relationship with NVN.

We hope that all the people of IC can devote their energies to constructive and peaceful pursuits.

This requires that the agreement to end the war in VN be strictly implemented.

The President hopes that this visit can inaugurate an entirely new relationship between the US and NVN, and to usher in an era of peace for all the people of IC.

QUINT: Not many to see the American jet or the man it carried when they landed in Hanoi.

The airport there was closed to normal traffic.

And in this film, provided by government controlled Swedish television, it seems that people in the quiet streets of the NVNese capital have no idea who it was in the limousines that sped by them. Just as they are in Saigon when NVNese and VC arrive there nowadays, newsmen in

The services in turn called casualty assistant officers around the country. And they then called the families involved, families which will be reunited soon with their missing relatives, in some cases, by the middle of next week.

And all the prisoners should be back within the next six weeks.

And NBC News will have live coverage of the arrival of the freed prisoners at Clark Airbase in the Philippines no matter what time that happens.

## Military Situation Critical

### In Cambodia

**UTLEY:** On the eve of the first prisoner of war release, peace has still not come to all of IC.

In Cambodia communit soldiers have attacked and captured the town of Ban Nam. They've also cut the road between Ban Nam and Phnom Penh.

Cambodian military leaders call the situation there critical.

## US Transport Plane

### Shot Down In Laos

**UTLEY:** In Laos an American transport plane has been shot down. It belonged to a civilian company flying for the US Government.

The military situation in Laos is also very serious. The fighting has been going on -- going badly for the government's side. The communists are trying to capture as much territory as possible before a cease fire goes into effect there, possibly this coming week.

The cease fire in Laos was the major reason for Henry Kissinger's visit to Vientiane before going to Hanoi today.

**JOHN RICH:** Kissinger's last stop before Hanoi was in Laos where fighting continues and US bombers are flying daily combat missions.

Since the cease fire in VN, the communists in Laos have launched a string of offensives, trying to improve their position before any agreement is reached.

At parts of the narrow Laotian panhandle, the NVNese have almost cut the country in two.

Prince Souvanna Phouma held a private dinner at his residence. Kissinger was briefed on the deteriorating war situation. And on the continuing peace talks, public ones and secret ones, between the Royal Government and the Communist Pathet Lao.

This morning before taking off, Kissinger talked about the aims of his trip.

**HENRY KISSINGER:** The President has sent me on this mission because of his intense desire to bring about a period of stable peace in IC.

We are prepared to begin a new relationship with NVN. And we hope that all the peoples of IC can devote their energies to constructive and peaceful pursuits.

The US will meticulously observe its provision, will expect all other parties to do the same.

It requires also that peace be brought, not only to North and South VN but to all the other countries of IC as well.

**RICH:** The first American diplomatic mission to NVN in more than a decade.

Mr. Kissinger's overnight stop in Vientiane gave him a chance to discuss with Laotian leaders the situation in this country where the war still goes on. Bringing a halt to that fighting is one of Mr. Kissinger's major aims in Hanoi.

Only a few people were around the guest house in Hanoi which has been assigned as the American headquarters for the next three days.

Although reporters were barred from the airport and kept back from the guest house, they did catch a glimpse of the motorcade as it arrived.

Le Duc Tho, Kissinger's old colleague from Paris, rode with him from the airport.

Although his stated aim of this US mission is to work toward a new relationship with Hanoi, clearly much of Kissinger's time will be spent in still more cease fire talks, striving to bring peace in

## NVNese Apologize For Mob Attack
### On NVNese and VC Officers

MUDD: The SVNese Government today officially apoligized for yesterday's mob attack on NVNese and VC officers in the Central Highlands

Strong anti-communist feelings among the SVNese also came out today in another incident, further north in the City of Hue.

RICHARD WAGNER: With the fighting still raging along the northern front in Quang Tri Province, the political powers that be in Hue decided to show the communists, here as part of the Joint Military Commission, what the local people think of them and the war.

Under banners reading, "Communist forces violate the cease fire," and "Kick the communists out. They have killed civilian people," the people in the armada of sanpans and those lining the shore, listened to a woman harangue the communists

"NVNese, VC," she said, "do you know how many civilians you have killed?"

If she was reaching the NVNese behind the barbed wire in their compound, they gave no sign of it. But she continued, calling on the International Control Commission to stop the fighting. And she said the people will be behind President Thieu in political warfare against the communists as they have been in military warfare.

After the speeches, the sanpan's fleet, banners flying, cruised past the NVNese compound where a few of the communists could be seen next to their residences, but they were outnumbered by the SVNese military police, there for security purposes.

The whole thing took little more than an hour, and the river people were soon away to the day's work.

Spontaneous demonstrations are well run in SVN. The organizers have had considerable practice.

A demonstration like this one probably won't mean very much to the NVNese or the VC. But a lesson they could learn from it is that President Thieu has large numbers of people in this country ready to do his military or political bidding.

Richard Wagner, CBS News, Hue, SVN.

## Cease Fire Has Little Effect
### In Laos and Cambodia

MUDD: The official cease fire in VN has had little or no effect on efforts to slow down the fighting in Laos and Cambodia.

Officials in Phnom Penh say communist forces have launched one of their biggest offenses of the war in Cambodia. The enemy troops today overran the Port City of Ban Nam, 32 miles southeast of Phnom Penh, and officials fear that an attack on the capital may be imminent.

Sources in Laos today disclosed that an Air America cargo plane was shot down there yesterday. The two American pilots aboard are missing and believed dead.

Air America operates in Laos under contract to the CIA.

142 Americans To Be Released

GARRICK UTLEY: For 142 Americans this is the last day of captivity in VN.

The US today was given a list of 115 prisoners of war who'll be released in NVN tomorrow, and 27 more who'll be freed by the VC in SVN. Of the 27 in SVN eight are civilians

The list of the first group of prisoners to be released was sent immediately to Washington, D.C.

In this room at the Pentagon the good news started going out.

First these men called the various branches of the armed services to tell them which of their men were on the list.

UTLEY: And today in Hanoi,
Kissinger met for an hour with
NVN's peace negotiator, Le Duc Tho,
and then for three and a-half with
Premier Pham Van Dong.

And in the evening, he was a
guest at a banquet.

Bucher Given New Assignment

UTLEY: Commander Lloyd Bucher
was the captain of the Pueblo when
it was captured by North Korea in
1968. He and the crew were held
prisoner for eleven months.

Today a new assignment for Com-
mander Bucher was disclosed. He
is the Chief Staff Officer on the

NVN's waters.

JMC Will Investigate Mob Incident

UTLEY: The four-party military
commission in Saigon today voted
to investigate an incident on Thurs
day in which communist members of
a commission field team were at-
tacked by an angry crowd of SVNese.
Several people were hurt, including
some Americans.

Phil Brady reports on the situ-
ation in Hue.

PHIL BRADY: Since coming to
Hue the NVNese members of the Joint
Military Commission have lived in
these barracks. They're isolated
from the rest of the city.

At first, conditions here were
so bad, the NVNese had to order
food from a hotel. And they also
complained about other shortages.

But on Saturday morning there
was a new problem. A crowd of
SVNese gathered near the barracks
and started demonstrating against
the communists.

It wasn't clear the local gov-
ernment started the demonstration,
but it certainly didn't try to
stop it.

There was a loud speaker boat
and a lot of speeches with slogans

such as, "Down with the communists,"
and "Down with Ho Chi Minh."

The demonstration also included
burning effigies of Ho and Gen. Giap
Hanoi's top soldier.

Hue and its people were badly
punished in the Tet offensive five
years ago. Some say as many as
3,000 people were executed by the
NVNese troops during the 24 days
they occupied parts of the city.

No one was hurt in this demonstration today but it's too soon to say if there'll be more of them or not, or if they may get uglier as time goes on.

Phil Brady, NBC News.

Agnew Reports To Nixon On Asian Trip

UTLEY: VP Agnew reported to
President Nixon today about his
trip to SE Asia.

Agnew said he found understanding
and acceptance of the VN peace
settlement.

Mr. Nixon said he won't make a
detailed statement about the trip
until after Henry Kissinger returns
from NVN and China, the two Asian
countries that really count if
peace is to be kept in IC.

Kissinger Making
Stop in Hong Kong
Before Peking Talks

Special to The New York Times

HONG KONG, Feb. 13—
Henry A. Kissinger, President
Nixon's adviser for national se-
curity, arrived here today for
two days of rest between visits
to Hanol and Peking.

Mr. Kissinger spent four days in North Vietnam and will stay in China for five days. In China he will have "concrete consultations" on improving Chinese-American relations and exchange views on issues of common interest, according to an announcement made in Washington and Peking on Feb. 3.

Mr. Kissinger's Air Force jet was originally scheduled to land here this morning, but his departure from Hanol was delayed to enable him to have breakfast and two more hours of talks with Le Due Tho, the Politburo member with whom he negotiated the Vietnam Peace agreement in Paris. His plane landed at Hong Kong's Kaitak airport at 2:41. Accompanied by David L. Osborne, the American Consul General here, Mr. Kissinger was driven directly to the Mandarin Hotel, accompanied by two carloads of detectives. Tourists in the hotel lobby applauded Mr. Kissinger as he strode through to a waiting elevator and he gave them a smile and a wave in return.

Among the officials meeting Mr. Kissinger at the airport were Alfred le S. Jenkins, chief of the China desk at the State Department, and John H. Holdridge of the National Security Council, who will accompany him to Peking. It will be the fifth trip there for Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Holdridge and the fourth for Mr. Jenkins.

Mr. Kissinger has no formal engagements in Hong Kong except a meeting with the Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, for drinks tomorrow evening at Government House. The Governor has also made his launch available to Mr. Kissinger for a tour of the waters around Hong Kong if the weather is good tomorrow.

This afternoon Mr. Kissinger was given a briefing by officers of the China-watching political section of the American consultate. He will have a second such briefing tomorrow.

Mr. Kissinger is believed to be spending part of his time here assembling a report for President Nixon on his visit to Hanoi. Officials with his party were not prepared to describe the talks, but the atmosphere has been described as cordial.

Mr. Kissinger's jet will leave for Peking on Thursday morning, stopping at Canton to pick up a navigator for the journey next.

Philippines

Deceptive peace

FROM A CORRESPONDENT

President Ferdinand Marcos unexpectedly sent his wife and brother-in-law out of the country last month and rumour immediately had it that he expected or was planning a coup d'état. In fact, the president's trusted political partners had gone to attend President Nixon's inauguration in Washington. Yet two days later Mr Marcos did declare himself absolute ruler and proclaimed, by edict, a new constitution.

The rumours, and the president's actions, reflect the sense of deep uncertainty which still grips the Philippines four months after the declaration of martial law. Deceptively, Manila has the look of a city at peace with itself. It may have been this unreal sense of normality which had lured the president into deciding to turn the plebiscite on the new constitution, scheduled for last month, into a vote of confidence for himself and his regime. Not only did he quickly discover that in several provinces he would lose this vote, but he was informed that six of the 12 supreme court judges would resign if he went ahead. The judges claimed that if "anarchy, insurrection and rebellion" were prevalent enough to justify imposition of martial law, they would also prevent the holding of a free and genuine plebiscite.

A brief experiment in free speech followed, but quickly ended, like Mao's "hundred flowers," in new arrests and a significant tightening of military rule, as well as the regime's first public execution. The president was clearly shocked to find that he was not as popular as he had supposed. Disregarding the supreme court, he called for the immediate creation of 35,000 local gatherings to vote on the constitution. Almost as swiftly, he announced that 95 per cent of the voters in these local assemblies (about 15m voters, aged 15 and over) approved of the new constitution, which he then declared adopted. He also claimed that well over 85 per cent of the voters wanted him to remain as both president and prime minister, with absolute powers, until at least 1980.

The public had been widely informed by numerous subversively circulated broadsheets (written by Senator Benigno Aquino, among others) that the local assemblies were unconstitutional and a blatant deception. Although the constitution had been written by a democratically elected convention last year, the final draft is believed to have been drastically altered by the government before it

was published last month.

Mr. Marcos recognises that the controlled press has not mellowed public opinion in his favour and the three months' detention has not sobered his worst critics (most of whom have now been released). He claims some positive achievements under his martial law regime. The government claims, for example, to have collected nearly half a million privately owned firearms, mostly from private armies maintained by rich businessmen and politicians. It claims also that it has slashed the crime-rate—although some observers insist that kidnappings and killings are simply not being reported.

The government has launched a major anti-drug campaign to combat the serious addiction problem among the young that has developed in the past two years. Dilapidated highways up and down the country are suddenly being repaired, and numerous other public works are being undertaken. But it is uncertain how far these new activities or the plethora of reforms, promulgated or promised, will get. The public works department is traditionally one of the most corrupt branches in one of the most corrupt governments in Asia, and no attempt has been made to reorganise the department or to replace its controversial chief. With the government acutely short of money, the new land reform schemes could similarly be pies in the sky.

The new powers given to the army have led to fiercer fighting in the Moslem south of the country. The army has admitted the deaths of nearly 100 soldiers in battles with the Moslems over the past 10 weeks. The attempt to collect firearms and break up private armies is the ostensible reason for this new bout of fighting, but the Moslem minority has never properly accepted Manila's rule. Once again there is talk of secession by Sulu and Moslem Mindanao.

The president gave some idea of the seriousness of the situation in the south when he made two concessions to the Moslems. He ordered the army to halt all gun-collecting operations among them, and he announced a new decree authorising all Moslems (but not Christian Filipinos) to engage in barter trade (previously classified as smuggling) with neighbouring Sabah. Then the president offered an amnesty to Mr Rasjid Lucman, a Moslem leader and member of congress, who has been living in Hongkong after being implicated in a plot to kill the president last year. Mr Marcos presumably decided it was safer to have Mr Lucman, who quietly returned home last month, inside the country than plotting for Moslem secession abroad.

Harnessing the Mekong:
A Giant
Unifying
Enterprise

THE majestic but capricious Mekong River, winding 2,600 miles from the Himalaya Mountains in Tibet to the South China Sea below Saigon, shapes up as the centerpiece in the rebuilding and development of war-torn Indochina.

Properly dammed, bridged and tapped, the Mekong could be the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Columbia River development and the Alliance for Progress rolled into one.

The Mekong is more than just the world's 10th largest river and Southeast Asia's greatest single natural resource—capable of providing electric power, irrigation, transport, and a base for industry to improve the lives of millions of persons.

It also is the major unifying element for the area's disparate and often rival peoples, a powerful thread binding them together in the common enterprise of taming and harnessing it to help them all.

Vietnamese, Cambodians, Thais and Laotians, by working together to develop the Mekong with the aid of money and technical help from abroad, could ease the poverty and instability that have plagued them through years of colonialism, revolution and war.

All of this sounded like a dream when it was first envisioned in the 1950s. But the dream began to come true even as the war dragged on.

Coordinated by a four-nation (South Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos) committee based in Bangkok, a dozen dams already have been built or started on tributaries of the Mekong, and more are planned for other tributaries and for the mainstream itself.

More than $200 million, much of it from Western countries, has been spent so far. The master plan calls for about $12 billion to be invested over the next 30 years.

That amount—equivalent to half a year's Vietnam war cost for the United States—would yield an estimated 20 million kilowatts of electric power feeding into a multination grid, irrigate 10,000 square miles or more, control flooding, replace uncertain ferries with bridges, and promote industry in an area holding 30 million people—nearly half the population of the four countries.

The planned electric power capacity would be nearly twice that of America's Northwest Power Grid, linking Grand Coulee (2 million kilowatts) and other big hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest. The Mekong's irrigated area could eventually exceed the present irrigated area of California.

Problems abound, of course: what to do with people whose land is flooded by lakes behind the dams; what effects the changes in rivers will have on fish and plants; whether water-level changes will contaminate the water with underground salt, spoiling it for drinking and irrigation.

These and other questions are being tackled by study and research which even includes pictures taken from space by American satellites. The Mekong rises in the Tibetan

Kissinger's Hanoi exploring irks Kremlin

By Paul Wohl

Written for

The Christian Science Monitor

The Kremlin is disturbed by U.S. presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger's journey to Hanoi and by the political effect of the Soviet Union's having earlier, in effect, yielded to American pressure in Vietnam.

Moscow does not want United States help in the reconstruction of North Vietnam. "Hands off Southeast Asia" is the burden of a tightly reasoned article in Izvestia of Feb. 6 by Vladimir L. Kudryatsev, the Soviet Government newspaper's "political observer."

North Vietnam is to be the cornerstone of a Soviet sponsored collective security system in Asia. The Soviet Union and the other Warsaw Pact countries intend to tackle "the grandiose task of transforming the Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam into a powerful, flourishing socialist country." America has no business there. Thus Mr. Kudryatsev who frequently serves as a mouthpiece of Soviet Policy.

As far as Asia is concerned, this policy goes smack against collaboration with the United States. Hanoi is warned against "the big monopolists of the imperialist powers who already dream of insinuating themselves into the economy of Vietnam and the other Indo-Chinese countries in the guise of assistance, but actually for the purpose of economic domination."

Quoting Leonid I. Brezhnev, Izvestia's political observer anticipates "an increasingly important international role" for North Vietnam. What Mr. Kudryatsev calls "the great victory of the Vietnamese people" is significant "for the national-liberation movement of all Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is a victory over colonialism and neo-colonialism."

In the face of American efforts to establish friendly relations with Hanoi, Moscow rumbles revolutionary thunder and seeks to picture itself as the preordained leader against imperialism.

North Vietnam's victory, says Izvestia, is "a lesson for the many countries of Asia and Africa which agonizingly seek some special road to independence without seeing that only scientific socialism (of the Soviet variant) can enable them to overcome the heritage of the past."

Some countries seem to doubt Mr. Kudryatsev's thesis. Brushing aside such arguments, Izvestia's political observer writes:

"The experience of the Vietnamese people has shown once again that the strength of nations fighting imperialism and neo-colonialism becomes many times greater if they cooperate with the Soviet Union, their true friend and reliable ally. These nations (must) recognize that they are an organic part of the world revolutionary process."

"Imperialist propaganda seeks to deny the consistent stand of the Soviet Union and the all-round assistance it has given to the Vietnamese people, to cast doubt on the nature of this assistance and to discredit the Soviet Union in the eyes of other developing countries." This is a maneuver of neo-colonialism, writes Mr. Kudryatsev, in which the Maoists play the role of pacemakers.

"Imperialist and Maoist propaganda suggests that Soviet assistance leads to the curtailment of the national independence of the country which receives such assistance," but the results of Soviet assistance in India, China, in the Near East and Africa show that this is not the case." Clearly the Kremlin is on the defensive.

Mr. Kudryatsev insistently warns the peoples of Southeast Asia against accepting help from "the American aggressors and their allies." The outcome of the recent struggle makes it necessary for the people of North Vietnam to "think carefully about the future orientation of their foreign policy" and about the facts which made their steadfast resistance possible.

To buttress his arguments Mr. Kudryatsev refers in Marxist-Leninist manner to "objective historical processes." In the light of Vietnam's victory he says, (these processes) make the "perspective of an Asian collective-security system appear propitious. The lesson of the Vietnamese struggle should bring home to all nations of Asia the great significance of an Asian system of collective security." Such a system would be guaranteed by Moscow and directed against China and the United States.

Mr. Kudryatsev's article is entitled "Favorable Possibilities." It hails peaceful coexistence as the basis of Soviet policy, but it also gives evidence of the Kremlin's continued ruvaly with Washington and Peking and of its determination to retain the leadership of national-liberation movements and to use them for its purpose.

## MOON ROVER FINDS A RARE ROCK SLAB

### Lunokhod 2 Halts Excursion to Study Smooth Stone

Special to The New York Times

MOSCOW, Thursday, Feb. 15 —The Soviet Union's Lunokhod 2 moon rover has started examining an unusual slab of lunar material that evidently was thrown out from the moon's interior during the birth of a large crater, Tass, the Soviet press agency, reported today.

Soviet scientists have been so puzzled by the slab, or plate, as Tass called it, that they have temporarily halted the more extensive planned excursions of the moon rover to examine the new discovery more closely.

"The slab has a smooth surface, whereas gaint stones lying nearby are pockmarked with holes of craters left there by twin meteorites," Tass reported. "The study of stones in the foothills of the ancient Taurus massif showed that they have been lying there for tens or even hundreds of million of years. The unusual slab seems much younger."

Landed on Jan. 16

Lunokhod 2 was landed on Jan. 16 at the edge of the Moon's Sea of Serenity, about 140 miles north of the Taurus Littrow highlands area explored by the Apollo 17 astronauts last December.

Since then, Tass said, the 1,848-pound, self-propelled rover has moved about three miles from its landing point and climbed to a point about 1,000 feet higher. Tass said the vehicle had more than a mile to go to reach the foot of the nearest range of the Taurus highlands.

"To judge by TV panoramas, the height of elevations resembling terrestrial hills is 600 meters [nearly 2,000 feet]" Tass said.

The present location of the moon vehicle was given as the outer edge of an unnamed crater, evidently on the way to the highlands.

But Tass said that Soviet scientists had found the rover's present location so interesting "both geologically and topographically" and the slab so puzzling that the Lunokhod's movements would be limited for the next few days.

Soviet scientists will concentrate on having the moon rover use its scientific instruments to make a closer study of the chemical composition and magnetic properties of the slab, Tass said.

Associated Press

The United States and Cuba will sign an antihijacking agreement at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, U.S. officials said yesterday.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers will sign the agreement at the State Department, while a Cuban official will initial the accord simultaneously in Havana.

U.S. officials said the agreement is very satisfactory and will serve as both a real and a psychological deterrent to hijacking.

As outlined by these officials, Cuba and the United States will agree to either expedite or prosecute persons

guilty of hijacking airplanes or ships.

However, the agreement does not affect the traditional American position concerning acceptance of refugees from Cuba.

This means that a Cuban who may violate his country's law in escaping to the United States but does not endanger either the crew or passengers of a ship or aircraft would not be liable for extradition.

A similar anti-hijacking agreement between Cuba and Canada also covers boats as well as airplanes. In Ottawa, an External Affairs Department spokesman said the agreement would require each

country to prosecute a suspected hijacker in its own courts or to send him back to the country where the crime originated.

## The meaning of MBFR

"Balance" is the key word in the preliminary talks on troop reductions in Central Europe that got off to a hesitant start in Vienna two weeks ago.

The word symbolizes the difference in approach of NATO and the Warsaw Pact powers to the complicated issue of cutting back the armies facing each other along the ideological divide in Europe.

To NATO any pullback of troops must be not only mutual but balanced. Currently the Soviet armed forces stationed in Central Europe outnumber the NATO troops by 1.7-to-1. In war materiel the imbalance is still more marked. The ratios in the Soviet Union's favor are estimated to be 3-to-1 for tanks and 2-to-1 for aircraft. The geographical factor adds to the imbalance. If pulled out of Europe the United States forces would return to their home bases 3,000 miles away, whereas the Russians would withdraw only a few hundred miles. NATO therefore insists that troop reductions must be proportionate and cannot take place on a one-to-one basis.

So far the Russians have given every indication that they reject the Western notion of "balance" out of hand. The Western-proposed title for the subject of the talks was "mutual and balanced force reductions." The Russians have insisted that the word "balanced" be struck out of the title. Even press badges marked "MBFR" had to be changed at Soviet insistence.

The haggling over procedural issues in the days preceding the Vienna talks and

One task set by Soviet scientists for the vehicle, according to previous Soviet press reports, is to investigate the moon's magnetic fields. Unlike the earth the moon has no general magnetic field. Researchers believe this is because the moon has no liquid core.

But Tass said it had been discovered that lunar seas and mainlands have local magnetic fields and that Lunokhod 2 was equipped with a sensitive magnetometer mounted on an eight-foot pole jutting out in front of the moon rover.

According to one account, Soviet scientists ran Lunokhod 2 through a complex series of maneuvers two days ago to check the magnetic field of one crater.

"The moon buggy had to approach the crater four times from different sides," Tass said. "During communication sessions with the earth, the Lunokhod made 120 turns. The crews of controllers were changed twice because the work required close attention to insure precise movement of the apparatus."

Several times Tass said Lunokhod sunk in loose rock to the hub of its eight wheels. But when the vehicle passed over the unusual smooth slab, Tass said, it left "only a string of traces imprinted on a thin layer of dust."

And So Harvard Loses

Harvard's crisp ultimatum to history Professor Henry Kissinger to report back to work by Feb. 10 "or else" wrung only a snort from the second most important man in the nation.

"I have no intention of going back to teaching at this time," Kissinger said shortly before stepping into Air Force Two and jetting off to Hanoi, Peking and other tender spots to tie up the loose ends of the cease-fire agreement he so ably masterminded. Harvard, a somewhat older and much more solvent corporation than the U. S. government, started looking around for a replacement.

We asked a knowledgeable Republican how he saw Kissinger's future in the Nixon administration, and he replied without hesitation:

"Kissinger adores his job," he said. "There's no chance that a good truce in Indochina would pull the rug from under him, end his job. The President is bound to move him into the Middle East picture one of these days. That would be a challenge in some respects greater than what he faced and overcame in China and Indochina, and one that he would relish.

"Kissinger would probably turn down the job of secretary of state when Bill Rogers goes back to his law practice, at the end of the year — as expected by his friends. For Kissinger, the post of secretary of state would be a step down. He would be saddled with the polite civil war that goes on in the State Dept. year in and out, would be subject to calls to give testimony to the Congress, and could no longer lead his happy night life."

We wondered what our Republican friend had to say about John Connally. Again, a quick answer:

"I wouldn't be surprised to see him become a member of the Republican Party, and soon. He's smart enough to know that if he doesn't do it soon, the rank and file Republicans won't be in any mood to accept him — even if the President pats him on the head — if he waits until 1976. He's got to make name for himself as a Republican in the 1974 congressional and gubernatorial elections. There's lots of talk around Washington that the President will appoint him secretary of state when Bill leaves. If so, that won't help him. Name me a secretary of state who moved up to President — which, of course, is what Connally wants

to be. He knows he can't make it as a Democrat, after
all that help he gave to Nixon in the last election.

"There's also talk that if Connally takes over at State, Kissinger will quit. That's not likely. Connally can get along with anybody. The other night here in New York you should have seen him charming the daylightlights out of such Republicans as Ken Keating, Louis Lefkowitz and Morrison Parker. He looked like a man running for office — a Republican office."

The consensus among seasoned political observers is that Kissinger is unique, among other reasons, because he's the only man in Washington — the President excepted — who doesn't want to run for higher office. He's got the best job in the country, including that of the presidency. It's the kind of job a multitude of politically-minded men have envisioned in their mightiest Walter Mitty dreams. He is regarded as the infallible negotiator, even after his jump-the-gun peace announcement of last October. (Even there, he came out smelling like a rose. It was the President who pushed him into making that optimistic announcement, against his better judgment — "they" say.)

He comes and goes as he pleases; doesn't have to get
dressed up to greet the prime minister of Lower Muggwump
at the state dinner. His private life is his own. The often
cranky Washington press corps flips over his news con-
ferences. He is able to maintain a masterful flippancy without
fear of being rapped on the knuckles. For example:

Just before leaving Washington with the President for
the, trip to China, a year ago, Kissinger was the guest of
honor at a dinner given by Washington's Women Correspon-
dents Club. Nixon called him on the phone during the dinner,
apparently not an extraordinary interruption. Speaking of the
trip, he told the ladies:

"We're about to embark on the most perfectly planned
trip of them all. But we still don't know how to get Bebe

## THE QUESTION

Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger is frequently seen in the company of beautiful women. What is the secret of his appeal to women?

## WHERE ASKED

Lower and Mid-Manhattan

## THE ANSWERS

Rita Lopez, Manhattan, execu-

tive secretary: "His charm and his intellect. Also, he's cute and funny. He probably reminds many minds of a cuddly teddy bear. From what I've seen on television, like a man who enjoys having a good time, so I'm sure he'd be great fun for any girl he dates."

Kissinger looks like a man who enjoys having a good time, so I'm sure he'd be great fun for any girl he dates."

Mrs. Ingrid Dimitruk, Manhattan, legal assistant: "He's intelligent, for one thing. I'm sure that any girl who has gone out with him has had her mind improved by listening to his conversation. He's a charming, well mannered man, and women seem to gravitate towards men who exhibit these traits."

Mrs. Pansy Phillips, Bronx, in-

surance underwriter: "He fascinates them. Women immediately take a liking to Dr. Kissinger because he is so calm and quiet. His self assurance is overwhelming and

without any trace of smugness. I'm sure he must be great fun at a party when he lets his hair down and relaxes."

Frances Gufay, Manhattan, under-

photographer: "If he has any

appeal to women at all,

but then

again I've never met the man."

Sylvia Sodden, Brooklyn, office worker: "His prominence. As the most powerful man in the country after the President, he's in the public eye. The girls who go out with him know they will be photographed."

I'm sure his accent adds to his appeal. He has the calmness of a psychiatrist, the kind of man a girl could tell her troubles to be."

Manhattan, accout-

dinator: "His personality shows through even in a television press conference. Also, he has the manners of a real gentleman, and American women are always intrigued by European men. His accent gives him a congenital flavor. I'd certainly enjoy his company, but I don't know if he'd enjoy mine."

'You Are Henry Kissinger'

You are Henry Kissinger. Life in the past four years has been a dizzying succession of undreamt tasks, journeys, conferences, negotiations, communiques. You have never been elected head of state, never been appointed foreign minister, never led a coup or revolution. Yet you sit with the men who are in the seats of power, and it is you that the spotlight and headlines follow from world capital to world capital.

You are Henry Kissinger. Your design for winding up the Vietnamese war, and extricating America from it, is finally and incredibly being executed. The truce teams are in the field, trying to tame the beast of last-minute fighting. The 12-power conference you envisaged four years ago, to give legitimacy to the peace, is convening in Paris.

All the best and brightest of your former colleagues and current critics mocked your chances of seeing it through. There were breakdowns in the talks. There was a series of Perils-of-Pauline brinkmanship decisions on both sides. But the cease-fire came through.

You are Henry Kissinger. There is an hour of triumph for you. You have journeyed to the enemy capital of Hanoi, then to Peking and Tokyo. You spent more long hours in almost nonstop talk with the Chinese leaders, including Mao Tse-tung, than any recent foreign visitor. The Chinese have peppered their party paper with your picture, and released the TV tape of your meeting with Mao. You feel you must have done something right.

You are Henry Kissinger. You love power and are obsessed with it, but you have few illusions about power. The curious path that brought you where you are now was compounded of hard work, insight, stratagems, luck. You figure your business is power and you don't pretend to play either the innocence game or the purity game. Yet even those who fear you have come to respect you for being in command of your material and playing fair in your briefings.

You are Henry Kissinger. You might have been a considerable scholar, but your drive was toward translating your insights and dreams into actual political policies. For a time you tried to do it as a government consultant, but the power was will-o'-the-wisp, and you wanted substance, not shadow. You hitched your wagon to Nelson

Rockefeller's presidential star, but it proved a falling star, so you unhitched the wagon and hitched it again to Mr. Nixon's constellation. The two have stayed hitched to each other, despite the almost daily wishful prediction that they would fall apart.

You are Henry Kissinger. You are caught between the world of thought and the world of action. You cannot and dare not cut your ties wholly with the academic community, which is overwhelmingly liberal. Yet your only hope for translating your ideas into policies is linked with President Nixon, who is still the bogy of most academics. You walk a tightrope between them — one that was stretched tauest on the Cambodian decision, the mining decision, the Hanoi bombing decision. In the end you feel that Mr. Nixon and his enemies must judge you by results.

You are Henry Kissinger. The left regards you as Dr. Strangelove, the right as a debauched Elagabalus. You feel wryly amused at both, happy to be immune enough to live an independent life, which a politician can scarcely do. You are aware that you have an ego that needs bridling if it is not to run away with you, and you even make disarming jokes about it, just as you joke about the "swinging" life you are supposed to be leading.

Yet there has been little room for ego and little time for starlets recently. They are marginal. What is central is the task you have entered with the President for which only four years remain, and for you, probably less.

You are Henry Kissinger. You know that the building of a new power structure with China and Russia may decide what the world will be like for decades. There will be problems with Congress, as shown by the current response to the idea of American aid to Hanoi. There will be problems with bureaucracy, whose massive weight can crush even the most promising beginnings. You distrust triumphs. You have learned how frail and unfinished the opening gambits may be in a game of power.

You are Henry Kissinger. You know how fickle fortune can prove with a Grand Vizier, a king's favorite. Despite the jester's mask, you have experienced tragedy, and you guess that the tragic is built into life. Behind the press headlines and the plaudits of the crowd, you suspect that anything can happen, and if it does you will have a quip ready for it.
