Try Bolstering Fire voiced belief in the existence of particles moving faster than light, "and a logical faith in such particles was revived in 1962 by others." Since 1962, he said, search for such particles called "tach-yons" has been going on in various parts of the world; but with negative and inconclusive results as yet. Sinha suggested that the tachyon-hunters may be looking for the wrong kind of particle, and in the wrong places. He said he had worked out WASHINGTON (AP) The United States and North Vietnam have agreed to hold new direct negotiations in Paris beginning Friday on the faltering Vietnam cease-fire agreement. Initial sessions will be held between Willaim H.

Sullivan, a deputy assistant secretary of state, and Nguyen Co Thach, vice minister for foreign affairs in the Hanoi government. Barring unforeseen developments, they will be followed in mid May with talks between Henry A.

The Sullivan Thach meet-! ings were announced simultaneously Wednesday morning at the White House and the North Embassy in Paris. Later, Charles W.

Bray, a State Commuter Strike Pits Riders Against Trainmen's Union By FRANK CAREY AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A Canadian physicist theorized Wednesday that somewhere in the universe there's a great "anti-galaxy" made up of particles that travel faster than the speed of light, seemingly in violation of Einstein's special theory of relativity. But Dr. B. B. Sinha, in announcing his new concept, said that, instead of challenging Einstein's views, his own theo ry extends them so as to in clude something vastly differ ent from "the ordinary matter of our world." Einstein's theory, proposed in 1905, holds that "velocities greater than that of light (186,000 miles a second) have no possibility of existence." But Sinha, addressing the American Physical Society, suggested that Einstein, in so saying, had in mind only the ordinary matter of the earth's Milky Way and other known ga laxies.

Dr. Sinha of the University of Guelph, Ontario, said that, years before Einstein proposed his theory, some scientists had Planning For Would Save OTTAWA (AP) If archi tects city planners and politi cians had to spend a little time in wheelchairs, they would build buildings and plan cities that would be easier for every one, says Tony Mann of Winnipeg, executive director of the Canadian Paraplegic Association. A "totally accessible community" need not cost more if the planning for wheelchairs is considered from the first stages of any new development, he said here. And the same conveniences that help an individual in a wheelchair also aid people with cardiac conditions, mothers pushing baby carriages, the elderly pulling grocery carts and thousands of. those who are marginally handicapped and need canes or are slightly insecure on their 3el "Even the completely fit person is inclined to walk up a wheelchair ramp rather than climb the stairs." NATIONAL CODE Mann said there is a national building code with provisions that ensure that the rights of the handicapped are consid ered.

But although these have been approved for years, many areas do not use them. Mann, who has been confined to a wheelchair since a war injury in 1945, said architects and planners seem to love split levels. "They'll put a ramp up the side of a buiding, then just inside the door there will be three steps. The person in a wheelchair will have to have help." TOKYO (AP) Japan's commuters struck again Wednesday, burning trains and breaking up local stations in a renewed outburst against a slowdown by trainmen. Nevertheless, workers on the stat e-owned railroad went ahead early Thursday with a planned 72-hour, full-scale strike for better wages and pensions.

The strike was called by the Locomotive Engineers' Union, one of two labor unions organized in the Japan National Railroads. On the eve of the strike a union committee issued a statement calling on the general public to "understand and support" the strikers. It blamed Prime Minister Kakuei Tan-aka's Cabinet and "big capitalists" for pushing the workers to strike. The prestrike slowdown found little support among commuters who smashed train windows and attacked an engineer on the second day of railroad disruption. The engineer fled after passengers dragged him from his compartment while the train was stopped at the station in Osaka, an industrial city in western Japan.

Nearly 1,000 riot police were summoned to break up a rampage of window smashing as the city's commuter system ground to a halt. The slowdown was called off in Tokyo to appease angry commuters, but rail transportation in the capital remained stalled until afternoon because of damage to the system by outraged passengers Tuesday night. Stranded or delayed on their way home, passengers had smashed train windows, signals Civile Case BROOKHAVEN Clyde Case, 57, retired Bookkeeper died Monday at Kings Daugh ters Hospital.

Both mine- sweeping and reconstruction aid are required under the agreement.

In the capital, props- pects for a political solution to the continued violence in South Vietnam dimmed as Saigon and the Viet Cong presented radi cally different proposals at the eighth session of their dead- looked talks. Both sides called for new elections, but there was wide divergence on the details, the 90-day deadline for, reaching agreement on political issues expires Friday. Ziegler said the Sullivan- Thach sessions, beginning at 10 a.m. that day, are not for pur poses of recrimination but rath er to seek full adherence to the agreement by all parties and to end fighting througnout In dochina. The Nixon aide said the United States has done everything possible to accomplish these ends.

Bray reminded newsmen of "Our view of the very serious, almost systematic violations by the Democratic Republic ot Vietnam." U. S. officials said one of the reasons new Paris talks had been proposed by the United States was to obtain a reading of Hanoi's intentions. Bray was csked whether a cease-fire in Cambodia would be speeded by the agreement of President Lon Nol to share power, equally with three lead ing political opponents. He re plied that "it is difficult to otter a judgment" and that any propspect for negotiation de pends largely on the desire ot insurgent groups to cooperate.

Sullivan, who is in the depart ment's bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, was nominated recently by President Nixon to be ambassador to the Philippines. He will be accom panied to Paris by George Aaldrich, the deputy legal ad viser at the department.

Miss McKeithen Becomes Baptist Women Director Miss Ethel McKeithen, educational director at Temple Bap tist Church, HaUiesburg, has resigned her position there to be come Baptist Women Director for the Mississippi Baptist Woman's Missionary Union. Miss Mariean Patterson, ex ecutive secretary-treasurer of the Woman's Missionary Union, said Miss McKeithen's new assignment would become effec tive May 1. Miss Patterson also said that Miss McKeithen would be filling the position she herself held foi several years before she was elevated to her present position as executive secretary-treasurer in May of 1971. NUCLEAR TEST DETONATED IN NEVADA DESERT An AEC spokesman said the test was "weapons related" and conducted on behalf of the Los Alamos Sci- entific Laboratory in New "Mexico. There was no report of any radiation escaping.

The device was exploded 1,486 feet below the surface and "kicked up a cloud of dust," the spokesman said. But there was no evidence of cratering following the blast. The test was conducted at the Yucca Flat area, some 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The spokesman said it was not immediately known if the test was a success. Department spokesman said the diplomatic move was initiated by the United States "as part of an effort to bring the agreement as a whole back into an effective force." In a formal note two weeks ago, North Vietnam accused the United States and South Vietnam of "grave violations" of the Jan.

27 agreement, including military thrusts at areas in the South under Viet Cong control. The United States responded last weekend with a note charging Hanoi and "its agents" with several serious breaches, including a clandestine build up of 30,000 troops and supplies in South Vietnam. Elsewhere in Indochina, the United States has accused Hanoi of illegally supporting insurgents against the govern- and other facilities at about 30 Tokyo stations. An estimated six million people in the capital alone were deprived of usual transportation Wednesday because of disrupted trains. The rail slowdown and planned strike is part of the "sDrine struggle" organized hv Japan's unions under a "Joint Spring Struggle Committee.

Following the engineer's strike, the larger National Railway Workers Union planned another 72-hour strike Friday. Postal and telecommunications workers were set to strike Scheduled to strike on Saturday are government-employed forestry, ciearette and sugar plant workers and printers A crucial issue in the struces is the workers' demand for rec ognition of the right of state employes to strike. In its appeal for support, the inint committee declared: "We resort to strike in order to pro tect our lite against tne oppressive labor policies of Tanaka's Cnhinet and big capitalists." The committee added that contrary to government claims, the strikes cannot De considered illegal since the Japanese constitution "euarantees all workers the right to strike.

The process is called "bovine ova transfer." In artificia insemination as is, one superior bull may service more than 350,000 cows. By the process of "bovine ova transfer," theoretically one superior cow could "mother" countless superproductive offspring.

The now. proved process transferring the fertilized ova from donor cows to lesser cows divulged in a scientific symposium inevitably will raise questions as to whether this impregnation of females with pre-fertilized eggs might work in humans. The experts decline to speculate that far afield from their special agricultural interest. I can tell you it has been accomplished at least once in humans. Long-range implications are too obvious to require elaboration.

In the centuries-old struggle, ever since the Nile Valley was rendered infertile by misuse, each generation has wondered where the food for the next gen eration would come from.

And it is another American "first." merits of Cambodia and Laos, while North Vietnam has criticized U.S. bombing operations in the two countries.

Ronald L. Ziegler, the White House press secretary, said the purpose of the Sullivan-Thach talks is "to prepare a review of the implementation of the Paris agreement and of appropriate measues to bring about the strict implementation of the agreement." At the State Department, Bray said the negotiations between Sullivan and Thach were expected to take "days" rather than Unless there is a serious and unexpected hitch, Kissinger and Le Due Tho, chief architects of the cease fire accord, will then take up where the first two men left off. Bray told newsmen: "You can safely put this preliminary round of discussion between Ambassador Sullivan and Mr. Thach in the context of an earnest, serious effort by the United States to restore the agreement in all of its provi sions to the effective state that was envisaged when it was negotiated and signed." U.S. officials said, mean while, that if Hanoi shows that it intends to observe all provi sions of the agreement, the Navy will resume mm- esweeping operations in Nortn Vietnamese waters ana aeie- Butz Will Address Delta Council May 1 STONEVILLE With attention focused on development of a new program for U.

Budget WASHINGTON (AP) Sol Linowitz, chairman of the National Urban coalition, said Wednesday some billion could be diverted from defense and revenue sharing programs and spent on domestic items. Linowitz, in testifying before a Joint Economic Committee hearing on the budgetary proc ess, said $5.1 billion could be safely squeezed from the Pentagon budget. Lost would be nine low-priority weapons programs, Linowitz said. He said other Pentagon cuts could come in reducing the "excessive proportion" of high ranking officers to enlisted men. He said remaining $1 billion could come from revenue sharing and would still leave $5 billion in that p-ogram.

The money could be taken away, Linowitz said, because many states are running budget surpluses. theoretical mathematics and physics suggesting there well might be an anti-galaxy made up of strange particles he calls "jugomons." These "anti-mass" particles would behave just the opposite of the ordinary mass particles of a galaxy, in that they would constantly be annihilating one another and then be restored by others. To annihilate one another, Sinha suggested, they would have to travel at speeds greater than that of light.

Hotels have been criticized by paraplegics because they are poorly planned to accom mediate wheelchairs.

Ms. Steinem, editor of MS magazine, said at the 87th annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers Association that what women readers want from newspapers "goes to seeing so many alternate publications springing up," including her own magazine.

"We don't expect sympathy or empathy" in news coverage, she said, "We want accuracy." "The women's movement is a revolution, not a reform," Ms. Steinem said, a "revolution against caste against the whole system that says people are divided according to how they look." She criticized stories that described the woman by dress or physical sttrbutes but did not ireat men the same way. "if you are a white male it re quires no adjective, she said.

The purpose of the acton is to restrain rising cheese prices in the united States which have increased as much as 10 per cent in the last nine months, the government said. Cost of Living Council Director John T. Dunlop said, "We are hopeful, by expanding the supply of imported cheese in the next few months, that rising cheese prices will at least level off." Cheese imports account for 6.5 per cent of domestic cheese consumption. The normal annual import quota is 128 million pounds, which will rise to 192 million pounds for this year. The additional 64 million pounds made possible by Wednesday's order should enter U.S.

markets in the next three months, the government said, as the increased quota is to end July 31. The Cost of Living Council said expanding consumer de mand for cheese is responsible for rising prices, both at wholesale and retail. With beef prices soaring stateside and with meat in short supply worldwide, imagine the importance to a hungry world if next-generation steers each weighed an additional 500 pounds! And if each cow were to produce "hundreds" of offspring! On April 3 in Minneapolis, a new breeding technology was revealed the potential significance of which is staggering. The world's meat supply may soon multiply as a result of this new reproductive technology. Let's take a for-instance.

In Harvey's whiteface herd in Missouri we cull for market most animals and keep for breeding only the superior one in ten. That one cow during her productive lifetime will yield an average 3.5 offspring. Suppose each calf were genetically superior and each cow were able to produce dozens perhaps hundreds of superior calves. Such increase would have phenomenal implications for livestock men, economists, nutritionists, financiers, food processors, governments. It's about to happen.

Artificial insemination of cattle impregnating dairy cows with quality sperm from selected bulls began' in the United States in 1938. By last year, 7 million U. S. dairy cows were artificially inseminated and nationwide production of milk per cow had doubled. Now, International Cryo-Biolo-gical Services of St.
