So see us now. Dr. Sakharov defied threats of re prisals to issue the warning to 10 Western reporters at his Moscow flat. Less than a week ago, Dr. Sakharov was warn I.r Jill IP -Li a v- AfA 2 LLI jvJLIL RENAULT16TL Major Hubert O'Neil, a Catholic, made the accusation after a jury delivered open verdicts on 13 civilians killed when soldiers opened fire during disturbances at a Catholic civil rights demonstration on Sunday, January 30, 1972.

After the verdicts, Major O'Neil said: "It strikes me that the army ran amok that day and they shot without thinking of what they were doing. They were shooting innocent people. "I say it without reservation. It was sheer, unadulterated murder. It was murder, gentlemen," he told the jury.

Major O'Neil's statement led to a clash with the counsel for the Ministry of Defence, Mr. Brian Hutton, who said: "It is not for you or the jury to express such wide-ranging views, particularly when a most eminent judge spent 20 days hearing evidence and came to a very different conclusion." Major O'Neil replied: "Thirteen people died. Some of them could not be described as anything else but children." An official inquiry by Britain's Lord Chief Justice (Lord Widgery) soon after the killings, cleared British soldiers of shooting first. But the report also found that none of the dead or wounded was proved to have been shot while handling a firearm or bomb. The Londonderry inquest had been delayed in the hope Hhat the 19-month time-lag would allow passions to cool, but Major O'Neil's remarks have once again brought the events of Bloody Sunday back into the forefront of Ulster affairs.

Right-wing Protestant politician the Rev. Ian Paisley called for Major O'Neil's dismissal, saying he had "let his religious and political feelings dictate his decision." Mr. Paisley said he would call for an immediate meeting with British Administrator William Whitelaw to remove Major O'Neil. Also 16TS automatic, 15TS, 17TL Immediate delivery CLAYTON: Kirk Cnr.

ed by Russian security agents that he should avoid contact with Westerners because he had had access to classified information. Dr. Sakharov said that the "crucial point" of East-West detente was "the suppression of But a very great problem was whether detente would also bring a democratisation of Soviet society. "Detente without democratisation, a detente when the West in fact accepts our rules of the game in this process, such a detente would be dangerous," he said. "It wouldn't solve any of the world's problems and would mean a capitulation to our real or exaggerated "By liberating us from problems we can't solve ourselves," Dr.

Sakharov said in a reference to the import of Western technical knowledge, "we could concentrate on accumulating' strength. And as a result the whole world would be disarmed and facing our uncontrollable bureaucratic apparatus." Dr. Sakharov urged the West to place "qualifiers" on detente with Russia and to speak out against "closed countries where everything that happens goes unseen by foreign "No one should dream of having such a neighbor," he said, "especially if that neighbor is armed to the teeth." Dr. Sakharov said that an portant not only by itself but as a symbol that detente with the Soviet Union does not preclude some kind of control on this country so that it could not become a danger for its neighbors." Yesterday's hastily called Press conference seemed partly designed to get some of his views on the record in case he is arrested and to show the authorities that he will not be frightened into changing his thinking. Dr.

Sakharov also discussed his personal life and his pessimistic views on the state of the "democratic movements" in the wake of a concerted secret police crackdown which began in January, 1972. But one of the most pressing questions seemed to be how long he could continue to speak out before ending up in prison or a mental asylum. While scores of dissidents were rounded up, questioned or incarcerated last year, Dr. Sakharov enjoyed relative immunity, apparently because of his full membership in the prestigious Academy of Sciences and his international stature. But in recent months the regime has started to apply pressure and issue warnings.

Serious He said that last Thursday's interview with M.P. Malyarov, a deputy general procurator, was "undoubtedly more serious" than a warning given by the KGB in March. Mr. Malyarov accused Dr. Shakharov of providing foreigners with information "of interest to foreign intelligence services" and asked him "to consider all the seriousness of this warning and draw your own He also said that other people had recently been "warned that their fates depend on their behavior at forthcoming trials" of imprisoned dissidents.

"If their behavior in the capacity as witnesses is not desirable," the physicist said, "then they will not leave the courtroom," meaning they, too, would be arrested. He said "it is impossible to predict" the authorities' next move against him. iaclkitiwlkimgi In LONDON, Dr. John Burton, secretary of the British Coroner's Society, explained that under Northern Ireland legislation the inquest had no alternative except to return an open verdict. This was because inquests there had first been stripped of their power to commit anyone for trial and had then, because of this, lost the ability to return verdicts of murder, manslaughter or infanticide.

"You have to return an open verdict This happens in every case where a man shoots a soldier or plants a bomb behind him," Dr. Burton said. British defence officials declined to comment on the coroner's remarks, but stressed that the Government accepted the findings of the Widgery inquiry. AAP-Reutcr. MEETTHE amendment before the U.S.

22. The Laotian Government announced yesterday that former air force colonel Pani Phonethipsavanh and 10 other "traitors" had been executed by firing squad, following Sunday's abortive Right-wing coup. Earlier it announced that the coup's leader, exiled former air force general Thao Ma, was killed when a Laotian air force aircraft he had commandeered was shot down by Government forces. Another leader of the attempt, former colonel Bounleuth Saycocie, was reported to have escaped by air to Thailand. Key public buildings and Government Ministers' houses remained under heavy guard today as the city returned to normal.

The short-lived coup apparently hoped to capitalise on Right-wing concern over negotiations between the Government and pro-communist Pathet Lao. AAP-Reuter.
