UN chief says dikes bombed UNITED NATIONS, NY. (AP)— Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim says he has received information through private channels that U.S. bombs have damaged dikes in North Vietnam both by direct hits and by nearby explosions. He told a news conference Monday he has been assured by the U.S. government that the dikes were not a target, but that he was deeply concerned by word received through sources he would not identify. Waldheim noted that he had expressed concern during his Moscow visit about published reports on the alleged bombing of the dikes and had made an appeal for a halt. He said his informants said some bomb explosions near the dikes had caused cracks which could make the barriers give way, flooding vast areas and causing a heavy loss of life. “If the dikes are destroyed it will mean an enormous disaster,” he declared. Asked whether he had any evidence that the bombing was intentional, he replied that he could not say whether the attacks were intentional “but the results are that damage has been done.” “Are you in direct contact with Hanoi?” he was asked. “I do not wish to comment except to say that my in formation came through unof ficial channels,” he said.
