(APWirephoto) Britain firm in face of strike BELFAST, Northern Ireland militants said Saturday they would impose an immediate power blackout if British soldiers were called in to break their crippling 11-day-old general strike. The Ulster Workers Council, which organized the strike, said it would also suspend the few remaining services if the army is used in any capacity to break the walkout. Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, Merlyn Rees, returned to Ulster earlier in the day carrying British plans to break the strike. British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who has refused to negotiate with the strikers, scheduled a national television address on the crisis in the evening.

There were reports the British were prepared to use troops to restore essential services, such as distributing gas and oil. It was feared such a move could trigger more violence from the strikers who have enforced the shutdown with barricades, intimidation and attacks on police. The strike has idled about half of the province's 250,000 work force. Strikers' demands include new elections in the provincial assembly and rejection of an agreement aimed at binding Protestant-dominated Northern Ireland closer to the Irish republic, which is 95 per cent Roman Catholic. One thousand troops have been airlifted in the last few days to reinforce the British garrison, which now has more than 16,500 men.

Predict safer holiday traffic below last year's pre-Memorial Day At 8 p.m. CST Saturday, the traffic estimate, also for a three-day period. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Millions of Americans took to the highways Saturday for the first warm weather holiday weekend of the year and officials predicted that more people would make it home alive because of the 55 m.p.h. speed limit. The National Safety Council estimated that between 450 and 550 persons would die in traffic accidents during the three-day Memorial Day weekend.

The prediction was 100 "This is in part due to lower speeds and we also expect less miles to be driven," said Ron Kuykendall, a spokesman for the council. He said the council estimated that Americans drove 12.6 billion miles during the 1973 Memorial Day holiday and will drive 12 billion miles this decrease of almost 5 per cent. The final death toll for the 1973 holiday was 486. death toll stood at 91. The 55 m.p.h.

speed limit was imposed on a nationwide basis earlier this year in a move to conserve fuel during the height of the energy crisis. LOS ANGELES medical specialists say Patricia Hearst's decision to become an urban guerrilla could have been a form of brainwashing, but another expert suggests she was simply ripe for the change. Dr. Zev Wanderer says it depends on whether the Symbionese Liberation Army made up predominantly of male convicts and radical young women, was sophisticated enough to transform the newspaper heiress against her will into Tania, a gunwielding rebel. "If the SLA were such fine behavioral modifiers, I'd like to offer them a job here," said Wanderer, head of the Center for Behavior Therapy.

But a psychiatrist who has advised the Randolph A. Hearst family since their daughter was abducted Feb. 4 from her Berkeley, apartment, insists that systematic techniques Cops seek red light bandits CLAY CENTER Center police are looking for two men in a car that has a red light which they used Saturday morning to make a truck driver stop, then beat and robbed him. Ralph Brooks, 30, of Portis, told officers he was beaten and robbed of $35 when he stopped on US24 about four miles east of Clay Center after being followed by two men in a car which had a steady burning red light. Officers checked with other drivers in the area and found one other truck driver who said he had been followed by a similar car in western Riley County, but did not stop.

Given the stress, a feeling of shared danger and her relative youth, said Dr. Frederick Hacker of Los Angeles, it's easily conceivable that 20-year- old Miss Hearst could have yielded to mental coercion. "It's not at all unusual that in late adolescence one becomes a very different person," he said. "And the time (that her apparent conversion took) is not particularly short if one considers the total control of information and interpretation they had during her captivity." A former observer of socalled "brainwashing" of Korean War GI's agreed. "We felt it had been demonstrated that if you have total Pearson says '74 may bring election campaign reform Five campsites plundered in River Pond area An elusive bandit plundered at least five campsites Friday at the River Pond area below Tuttle Creek Lake gathering himself a substantial amount of outdoor According to police, the thefts were reported between 11 a.m.

Keith Parker, 2306 Casement, the hardest hit of the victims, told police that $265 in camping equipment was stolen from his campsite while he was away. Ray Kelley, 1904 Beck, said two tackle boxes and two ice chests were stolen from his campsite. His loss was estimated at $50.

Three out-of-town persons were payed less than friendly greetings when their campsites were ravaged and nearly $100 in equipment stolen from them. Victims were W.J. Adkins who reported the loss of a cooler containing beer; E.G. Meyer, Kansas City, who reported the theft of an electric cord; and Larry Hamm, Denver, who reported the theft of a cooler, a flashlight a leather strap and other equipment. Police did not say if a suspect was being sought and gave no other information on the incidents.

TOPEKA James B. Pearson, said Saturday night that 1974 may be the year for true federal election campaign reform as a result of public reaction to the Watergate scandals. "The elements of true campaign reform were approved recently by the Senate and are pending further consideration in the House," Pearson said. "The mood of the Senate is that these they are lost this be returned year after year until an effective measure is signed into law." Pearson's remarks were prepared for for an appearance at. an appreciation dinner given by "Kansas Frontlash," a non-partisan youth voter registration organization established in 1970.

Pearson was honored for his support in Congress of foter registration and federal election campaign reform legislation. Pearson said some urgently needed improvements in the voting process cannot be legislated. "The Congress cannot decree an end to voter apathy in most elections," he said. He praised the youth registration organization for its efforts in registering 30,000 new voters in 1970. "Campaign reform legislation can only establish ground rules for effective citizen participation," he said.

"The success of the idea, in the end, depends upon the willingness of individual citizens to embrace their opportunities."
