U.S. Agents
Disclose Asian
Termites Escape
A
number of Asian termites escaped 
from Kelly Air Force
Base, San Antonio, Tex., after 
hitchhiking from Okinawa
in a crate of sacramental
wine aboard an Air Force cargo 
plane, the Agriculture Department 
reported Friday.
Government agents are trying 
to hunt down the termites
before they can establish colonies 
and begin spreading.
The incident, which took
place in mid-May, came to
light after newsmen asked
further details on a routine
Agriculture Department announcement 
about the termites. 

The announcement said
nothing about the wine.
Officials said the Formosan
termite, until now, has been
kept out of all U. S. area
except a few limited portions
of the South, but the highly,
destructive termite, which destroys 
all types of wood and
wood products, could be a
serious threat if it spreads
widely.

THE WORLD OF
ENTERTAINMENT
With a combination of a television 
personality, a football
hero, an actress of "True Grit"
fame and film-makers are sure
to draw interest for one of their
latest releases "Norwood."
Glenn Campbell, popular as a
clean-cut singer of country and
Western tunes, portrays young
Norwood Pratt just released from
the Army. Not wanting to settle
back into life in a small Texas
town, Pratt heads for New York
with dreams of becoming famous.
Even though he meets a swinging 
New York gang, he fails to
impress them with his songs and
guitar and the young ex-GI heads
towards Texas and home—which
proves to be the best part of the
film.

Fact-Finding
Mission
Into HEW
Surprisingly 
enough, considering
how united we Americans are
on other Southeast Asia matters, 
opinion is divided as to
the merits of the recent presidential 
fact-finding mission to
Cambodia.
Some observers are calling
it one of the greatest fact-finding 
missions of all time and
are predicting that its members 
will be enshrined in the
factfinders hall of fame.
But others are saying that
if you've seen one act-finding
mission, you've seen them all.
President Nixon himself obviously 
was pleased with the
facts the group found. So now
there is talk that he may send
fact-finders to other trouble
spots in hopes they will be
equally encouraging.
One possibility being mentioned 
is a fact-finding mission 
to the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare. 

It has always been difficult
to ascertain what is going on
in HEW, mainly because the
department is overgrown with
bureaucratic elephant grass.
There is no doubt, however,
that HEW has been used as a
sanctuary by administration
critics.
Time after time anti-administration, 
forces have been
spotted moving along the socalled 
Leon Panetta Trail in
the Civil Rights Section—of
HEW, familiarly known as the
"Parrot's Beak."
Large numbers of critics,
along with vast amounts of
equipment and supplies, also
were reported in the Office of
Education, or "Fishhook,"
area of HEW.
From these points of concealment 
they were able to
carry out raids on administration 
policies and then disappear 
back into the elephant
grass.

Abortions Liberalized
In New York City Area
Officials
of city hospitals announced on
Friday abortions will be performed 
on minors if the patient 
is married, "emancipated," 
or at least 17 years old.
A spokesman for the city
hospital corporation said by
"emancipated," authorities
meant a girl "who is self supporting 
or living away from
home under such circumstances 
that she makes most of her
own decisions."
He said doctors also will be
instructed to perform abortions 
on minors with or without 
parental consent if the
pregnancy "endangers the
physical or mental health of
the patient."
Girls who do not belong to
any of these categories will
need parental consent.
The board of directors of
the corporation said it intended 
to make every effort to pro
vide medically sound abort
ions 
for New York City women 
seeking them and to make
the availability of the service
widely known.
New York City Blue Cross
also plans to liberalize its
regulations, providing benefits 
for subscribers who get
abortions in member hospitals
The board of directors of
Associated Hospital Services
of New York, the corporate
name for Blue Cross in New
York City, also for the first
time will provide maternity
benefits for single females,
including dependent children
of subscribers, provided the
original contract was group
originated.
The state's new abortion law
permits women to obtain abortions 
from licensed physicians
during the first six months of
pregnancy.
There are no other restrictions. 


Negro Will Remain On
Campus Commission

Rhodes Jr. from the presidential 
commission on campus 
unrest despite a request
by Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew the black Harvard student

resignation after reading a
New York Times article Monday 
that quoted the youngest
member of the commission as
saying of the shootings by
National Guardsmen at Kent
State University in Ohio and
Jackson State College in Mississippi: 

 things I want
to try to figure out is who gave
what orders to send police on
campus and were they thinking 
about 'campus bums' when
they pulled the trigger."
Agnew said Tuesday in Detroit 
the reported remarks indicated 
Rhodes, 22, "clearly
does not possess the maturity,
the objectivity and the judgment 
to serve on a fact-finding
body of national importance."
 Times reporter

said, "Mr. Rhodes should resign 
immediately."
White House Press Secretary 
Ronald L. Ziegter said,
however, Agnew was expressing 
his "personal view" and
had not discussed the matter

the White House staff.

Ziegler said.
"We have no plans to change

The
Black Panthers are in the pre
paratory stages of setting up
chapters in New Orleans, Atlanta, 
Miami and an unmaned
city in South Carolina, television 
station WWL reported
Saturday.
The station said it has confirmed 
reports that the militants 
are operating an "information 
center" in New Orleans
The center is located in a
three room house belonging to
a criminal district court judge
who rents it to the Panthers at
$100 per month, the station
said.
He said only last month had
his agent told him of the situation. 

The Panthers who have less
than 15 days to got out of the
house, have lined the walls
with sandbag fortifications four
feet high and several feet
thick.
The group refused to say
what it would do when the dead
line for eviction comes.
Those interviewed talked of
"protecting themselves."
The Panthers said they had
launched information centers
in New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta 
and South Carolina.
These apparently, are their
first attempts to establish
spheres of influence in the
South, WWL said.

WORLD WEEK


Trouble On Campuses Due
To Ignorance And Apathy
The explosive 
and tragic situation that
exists on many college campuses 
was attributed chiefly to
ignorance and apathy on the
part of society Albany (Ga.)
State College's president main
tained in delivering the Summer 
Convocation address here
Thursday morning.
"There is no magic formula 
for the solution to this problem; 
nor is it enough to replace 
rejection and concern,"
Dr. Charles L. Hayes said, in
addressing some 850 students
and faculty at the official opening 
of the 1970 summer session. 
For disadvantaged
youths," he continued, "the on
ly reliable and lasting solution
lies in education in our colleges 
and universities. We are
all involved.... Only we car
provide the strengths and sup
port which will enable these
youngsters to achieve responsible 
citizenship."
Hayes, who is concluding
his first year at the helm of
the Southwest Georgia Institution, 
said, "we are being asked
to renew our institutions
through reforms that have
been demanded for many quartars. 
Our institutions are being 
asked also to assume a new
role in society to accomodate
to the aspirations of minority
groups whose members—
have benefited little more than
token participation in the higher 
education enterprises. To
do so, Hayes pointed out, "we
must learn to distinguished between 
the demands of the campus 
revolutionaries and those
of the militant reformers. We
must, on occasion, be willing
to give thought to the unthinkable, 
for alternatives are
grim."
Speaking on the subject, –
"Focus on the Disadvantaged
Students -Higher Education's

Dilemma," Hayes went on to
say that generations of the dis
advantaged have been unable
to benefit from the higher education 
offered in our present
American system. "Funds
were insufficient to allow the
attention required for their
specific problems and in too
many instances, we have not
known these young people, nor
understood their special needs
Our programs were not planned 
with them in mind."
A former Federal Government 
official who worked primarily 
with developing institutions, 
Hayes contended that
we can no longer tolerate this
waste of human resources.
"Every student who desire
higher education must be offered 
the best our educational
system can provide," he declared. 
"If we reject the disadvantaged 
student or offer
him an education so general
that it will leave him unprepared 
to earn a living, we ourselves 
shall be responsible
for his disillusionment with
education.
Young people learning nothing, 
going no where, with no
skills with which to claim a
job, with no one to care what
happens to them, and with no
road to opportunity, are a rebuke 
to the Inadequacy of our
educational system. For them
the only reliable and lasting
solution lies in education in
our colleges and universities
We are all involved."
