She lists the three nationwide strike demands: free 24-hour child care centers; free abortions on demand; complete equality for women in education and employment.

(AP)-Thft World Youth Assembly was threatened today by a split over the presence of representatives of South Vietnam and Nationalist China and by charges of Communist domination in the assembly's peace commission. Bedlam broke out Monday night in the commission on world peace when delegates voted to overrule a decision by chairman Najia Fawaz of the General Union of Palestine Students to allow representatives of the U.S.-backed Asian countries to speak. The full assembly earlier had voted down leftist demands that delegations from South Vietnam, South Korea and Nationalist China be expelled. But opponents of the governments of those countries were in control of the peace group, one of the assembly's four commissions that are to draw up resolutions for the full assembly to consider. Dennis Prager of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, an organization of American Jewish students, led a walkout of American and West European delegates.

SUMMR VACATION MOVII WIDMUDAY 1i30 By JERRY BUCK ap telfvislon-Kadio Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) Many actors work out elaborate characterizations and theories about thSFfSrib- they Knight believes his has a theological concept. It is not mere idle speculation.

In addition to being a co-star of "The Immortal," Knight is an ordained minister and associate pastor of the North Hollywood Congregationalist church. The new ABC show, first seen as a "Movie of the Week." stars Chris George as Ben Richards, a man with a rare blood condition that gives him everlasting life. But everlasting life doesn't mean everlasting joy, because Knight plays a villain named Fletcher who would like to cage the Immortal and sell his blood. "There is a valid premise in 'The Immortal' in that there is a dream in every man that everyone really does live forever," said Knight, a handsome, blond Englishman who retains a trace of an accent. "It doesn't matter whether you're Christian or Buddhist or what, there is a tremendous drive in the soul of man (or immortality.

"What Fletcher represents in the show is the subconscious feeling of people that they will be punished for feeling joy Within the Protestant ethic is thai deep down feeling that if things are going well you will be called to account That is what Fletcher is In reality, he is the alter ego of Uen Richards Knight, who is the drunken well digger in "The combined acting and the ministry in Kngiand and Canada and later was a Methodist pastor in New York, Maryland and California He said he became a Congregationaltst when the Methodist bishops told him he had to give up either the (heater or the Church. He said he believes his congregation will be able to keep his screen and pastoral identities separated Knight asked, "Do you know why I'm an actor' 1 An actor is basically a person who can make the dreams of mankind real He takes the fantasies and the horrors and makes them real Ami a minister is a man who can say these are what make you a human being. It's the same thing." "'Hie World of Charlie Company," a CBS News special at 10 in KDT today, is a revealing view of the day-lo-day life of ordinary soldiers in Vietnam and Cambodia Virtually no combat is shown, but the soldiers ex penence daily danger, boredom, frustration, exhaustion and hardship Correspondent John Laurence interviews soldiers who question the war and shows instances in which parts of the company disregard the commander's orders. Exemption Revocation By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An Internal Revenue Service order removing tax exemptions from segregated private schools apparently will have little or no effect on the operations of such schools in Arkansas. "We are definitely going to operate a private school," said Dr.

J. Neal Laney, president of the board of Nathan Bedford Forrest Academy at Forrest City. Laney said he believed the school should be tax exempt, but "I don't think one member of our membership, even if they had to pay the taxes, would deny his child this opportunity." The IRS order would remove deductions for honors to the schools and make the schools' income taxable. "It's not going to bother us much," said the Rev. Travis Chase, referring to the Tabernacle Baptist Academy at West Memphis.

"And even if it costs us a great deal of money we still would go on." He said the money for the school came from tuition, which is a nondeductible expense for parents. J. W. King, a member of the board of directors of the Delta Academy, scheduled to open at Blytheville this fall, said he did not believe the order would hurt the school. "We put in our charter that we will not discriminate because of race, creed or color," he said.

He told the commission the assembly had been "intentionally packed" and he had seen "delegates coached on (he floors of the commission and assembly by representatives of their own governments." Warren said members of the U.S. delegation are opposed to American policy in Indochina and in some other places around the world. But he added: "I oppose all aggression and all imperialism, and I find it curious that there has been no mention of Soviet lY WOUNDED VETERANS NEED HELP Dear Helen: Several months ago a letter in your column alerted people about the forgotten wounded vets in U.S.

hospitals. Later there was a chilling article in a national magazine, and then a television report. It all adds up to this: Those fellows need our help! The nurse shortage makes conditions almost unbearable: Paralyzed men must wait hours to be moved or changed or dressed. Sometimes even a drink of water isn't available. Could I use your column to urge all people with a little free time, to go oiif 1 veterans' hospital is if they live close by? If not, send letters, not only to patients, but also to your but make the first cheering, the second pleading.

If we can spend billions on a war, we can also spend thousands on hiring adequate aides, or getting word around so that people will volunteer as free helpers.
