Prime Minister Brian Faulkner, which governed NorthernIreland until Britain's take-over last March.Also taking part are the Alliance Party, a coalitio

of moderate Protestants and Catholics, and the NortheIreland Labor Party.The empty chairs at the three-day conference belong

to the Catholic-orientated Social Democratic and LaborParty and two smaller opposition groups, RepublicanLabor and the Nationalists.

Their boycott has been copied by the Rev. Ian Paisley'Protestant-based Democratic Unionist Party, angered bythe government's refusal to order an official inquiryinto the killing of two Protestants by British Armymarksmen during a recent Belfast riot.

The Social Democratic and Labor Party the main op-position grouping, has refused to take part whileWhitelaw continues to hold 241 suspected terrorists inLong Kesh Internment Camp just outside the NorthernIreland capital.

AIRLIFT- from page one*including very large pieces of equipment such as thoseused in Soviet surface-to-air (SAM) missiles.

But the officials stressed the exact nature of theequipment is not yet known.

Laird mentioned the airlift as he criticized propos-als to unilaterally cut U.S. forces in both north andsouthern Europe.

Laird appeared on the NBC network program, "Meet thePress."

Pentagon officials later said there has always beensome Soviet presence in Syria, but that the latestairlifts were something entirely different.

Pentagon officials said flights of armed Sovietreconnaissance planes over U.S. and allied naval unitsin the Mediterranean stopped after the Russian with-drawal from Egypt. Laird said it is too early to as-sume the flights will resume from Syrian fields as aresult of the airlifts.Earlier this month, the New York Times reported that

Syria and the Soviet Union have negotiated a securityarrangement that would permit the Russians to build upnaval facilities at two major Syrian ports in exchangefor advanced air-defense missiles and Mig fighterplanes.

Cap'n's Column

"Sealand", a new service to Guantanamo is slated to be-gin October 2, with the arrival of the SS M.V. New Yorker.

The main objective of this new operation is to deliverthe "goods" to Guantanamo faster and more frequently.

The Norfolk based ship combines lift on-off and roll on-off techniques to expedite loading and off-loading time.The SS New Yorker should arrive here every nine or 10days, cutting actual travel time between ports just aboutin half. More cargo runs can be made since the ship willrun directly from Norfolk to Guantanamo, providing a sch-edule we can depend upon.

This process will employ containerization, a very import-ant feature for the betterment of service. Loss, due topilferage and damage of goods, because of improper pack-ing will be greatly reduced with this containerized pro-cess.

Perishables, such as produce, will be carried in refri-gerated vans or reefers. The cooling systems of these vanscan be run by electrical power or propane gas.

When these vans arrive they simply hook up the tractorto the container and haul the goods to thier destination.

Fresh, seasonal produce will be available on a regularbasis.using this new method of transportation.

The "Sealand" operation came about as a result of im-proving the old methods of shipment. The old method wasa hit-or-miss operation with the frequency of deliveryranging from 14 to 16 days with deviations as high as 21days. Under this procedure produce would often spoil.

Then there was a time when we flew in freeze and chillitems by air. This proved to be costly.

The key turning point came about last April. One-halfof the stevedores were cut back, leaving the docks ofGuantanamo with one-half of the alloted manpower.

As a result we went to higher headquarters with requestsand recommendations to improve our local situation. Thisresulted in a contract with "Sealand" and we can now lookforward to better and quicker service.

4 U.S. Proposes

Clamp on Terrorism

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)--TheUnited States will propose to theUnited Nations a treaty to clampdown on terrorism that crosses na-tional boundaries, U.S. diplomatssaid yesterday.

Secretary of State William P. Ro-gers was reported planning to includethe proposed convention against in-ternational terrorism in a call tothe 132-nation U.N. General Assemblytoday for urgent consideration ofthe issue.

The treaty would deal with murder,kidnaping or other serious crimesagainst civilians which are committ-ed for political purposes by for-eigners in a country not involved inthat political issue.

This definition would apply tosuch recent acts as the killing ofIsraeli athletes at the Munich Oly-mpics by Arab extremists and theinternational murder-by-mail campaign

against Israeli diplomats.

House Leaders HaveA 'Must' List

WASHINGTON (AP)--House leaders haveagreed on a list of "must" legisla-tion which darkens prospects for fi-nal adjournment before the Novemberelection,

Present plans, or hopes, call foradjournment not later than October14 to allow House members to get inthree weeks of campaigning beforethe November 7 voting. But it maybe difficult to keep members in Wash-ington after mid-October.

The leaders believe their "must"bills can be passed by the House byOctober 14, but there is no assur-ance that the Senate will be readyto quit that soon. Its current bus-iness docket is even heavier thanthat of the House.There already is talk of a post-

election session.

Some leading Democrats fear thatif Congress adjourned with a lot ofthe President's program not acted onhe would call them back into specialsession after the election.In the mean-time, they suspect, he

would step up his campaign againstthe Democratic-controlled Congress.

The Chicago Tribune Endorses Nixon

Praises His Handling of the War

CHICAGO (AP)--The Chicago Tribune has endorsed President Nixon forre-election, praising his handling of the Indochina war and his for-eign and economic policies.

"Mr. Nixon has done a sincere job of trying to find a durable endto the war and has been as successful as anyone could be under thedifficult circumstances," the newspaper said in its editions yesterday.

The editorial said the Democratic ticket of Sen. George McGovern andR. Sargent Shriver was "disorganized, bickering and grasping at straws(like Watergate) which, whatever validity they may have, are or littlerelevance in a struggle for the most powerful job in the world."

McGovern's "impulsive urge to throw in the towel would not end thefighting in Southeast Asia and would encourage aggressors there andelsewhere," it added.

The Tribune called Nixon's foreign policy "something close to a mir-acle," saying it "reduced the tension between the United States andthe two top Communist countries while aggravating the tension betweenRussia and China."On economic policy, the paper said, the President has "slowed infla-

tion down to a rate lower than now prevails in competing countries."

-NATIONAL NEWS BRIEFS-

O'Brien Predicts Close RaceWASHINGTON (AP)--Democrats have failed to make a public-gripping issue

of the Watergate affair, Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas says, but LawrenceO'Brien predicts plenty of activity on Capitol Hill will keep alive thealleged political espionage aimed at Democratic headquarters.

Dole, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and O'Brien, camp-aign director for Democratic candidate George McGovern, agreed, but onlyto a degree, yesterday that McGovern will improve his present standing inpolls-as much as 34 points behind President Nixon.

O'Brien predicted " a very close election, like 1960 or 1968." But Dolewould only say he expects "some slippage," not enough to threaten Nixon'slead.

Price Commission Expects No ChangesWASHINGTON (AP)--The Price Commission expects to make no changes in its

profit-margin rule in the near future, Chairman C. Jackson Grayson Jr. says,without specifying what near future is.

Asked about recent speculation that the commission might change the rule,Grayson said in an interview that "we do not have any direct proposal un-der active consideration."

The rule, widely criticized by the business community when first adopted,restricts companies to a profit margin based on the best two of the lastthree fiscl years. The margin is figured as a percentage of sales.

Grayson said the commission is looking into the possible impact the rulemay have on profits. He said possible alterations have been discussed.

These include changing the base period on which the permissible marginis figured, using an industry-by-industry rather general approach, andmodifying rules on mergers and investitures.

"We're aware of the problems created by the rule, but we don't expect anychange in the near future," he said.

RABBITS 4

May be Threat to Cambodians

PHNOM PENH (AP)--President Lon Nol has warned Cambodiansagainst a Communist plot to kill them with rabbits.

In a message to the nation issued by the president's execu-tive cabinet and published yesterday in the official newsagency bulletin, Marshall Lon Nol called on all citizens toarrest any person who offered to buy rabbits at high prices.

"If our compatriotssee them buying rab-bits they must arrestthem immediately be-cause they are enemies,"declared the marshall.

He said Communistagents were paying $125to $175 for rabbits. Hedidn't specify whetherthat was for each rabbitor for how many.

"They have insinuatedthat their doctors needrabbit blood to injectinto wounded men," themarshall said.

He wained, however,that the real motive ofthe Communists is to userabbits as live bombs by PRESIDENT LON NOLattaching plastic explo-sive charges to them and then releasing them near CambodianArmy defensive positions.

"The lights attract the rabbits and they thus explode theplastic," the marshall stated.

He added that the Cambodian government would reward any per-son who arrested rabbit buyers.The-marshall also referred to the current critical shortage

of rice, which provoked widespread looting in the Cambodiancapital, by saying that in August "the North Vietnamese andViet Cong came to eat up all our rice."

"Happily've have friends, notably Thailand, the Republicof South Vietnam and Japan, and thanks to them we have beenable to escape from famine and death," the marshall added.

Thailand has agreed to sell Cambodia 30,000 tons of rice atworld market prices and for hard currency while Japan is send-ing about 6,000 tons as an outright gift. South Vietnam hasnot given or sold rice to Cambodia but a loan of 10,000 tonsof surplus U.S. rice in Vietnam has been arranged by the Nixonadministration, which was not mentioned in Lon Nol's message.
