WASHINGTON, April T. f.-P The premier of Northern Ireland, who was booed on his arrival in this country, says the main purpose of hia visit is lo renew wartime acquaintances. He met American servicemen and businessmen when they were stationed in Northern Ireland, Sir Basil Brook said, and he wants to see them again. Sir Basil talked to re orters at Natinal airport, where he was sedately welcomed last night. It was a sha, p contrast to the booing and cat-calling he got in New York a little earlier from aome 200 Irish-Americans who made plain they regard him as a symbol of the partition of Ireland. Sir Basil said of the New York demonstrations: "Those things just don't worry me. They're entitled to say what they like." The pickets in New York were deminstrating for a United Ire land: Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom, whereas the southern part is now a republic with no ties to England.

Students if physically qual ified are required to do a cer tain amount of work in addition to their studies. Layton aaya he thought it best for him not to work on that day because of bad weather.
