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.

Farm worker supporters to show film
The Eugene Frinds of the Farm Workers, a group of local citizens,
will present the movies “Strike at Cochella” and “Viva la Causa” on
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Dad’s Room of the EMU. Speakers from
the Portland Boycott Office will also speak of the Lettuce Boycott.
The Lettuce Boycott was called by Cesar Chavez, of the United
Farm Workers’ Union, in March of this year, when negotiations with
lettuce growers broke down. Since that time Chavez fasted for 24 days
in Arizona. He called the fast a “call to sacrifice for justice and as a
reminder of how much suffering there is among farm workers.”
In Eugene, the Friends of the Farm Workers are urging people not
to buy iceberg lettuce and circulating pledge cards to this effect.
Friendship families sought for student
About 65 foreign students will be arriving in Eugene Sept. 13 for
the University orientation course which will begin the 14th. Of these 65,
30 will need lodging and meals overnight.
The University International Education Center is seeking hosts
and friendship families for the students.
It is hoped that families which are interested in being overnight
hosts will also be interested in being friendship families for the
students. Single persons may also serve as hosts and friendship
families for the students.
Contact the International Education Center for further in
formation or call Liz Litchman at the Foeign Student Office.
