"Last year, as you know, they had tremendous rains and monsoons, and many of the dams and dikes were affected by the severe flooding which took place last year. The real damage to the dams and dikes is the damage that was suffered in weakening those dams and dikes last year during the very, very heavy flooding of North Vietnam. 4 '-'-V, NO' REPAIRS "I believe that the North Vietnamese are carrying ion this campaign in order for them to relieve themselves from the responsibility with their own people for the failure to adequately repair this system since the major flooding of last year." In recent weeks, North Vietnam has repeatedly accused the United States of bombing the dikes.

A Western correspondent based in Hanoi, Jean Thoraval of the Agence France-Presse, reported June '24 he had been taken to see some of the dikes protecting the town of Nam Dinh, 60 miles south of the North Vietnamese capital, and several of the dikes had been cracked or gutted. Asked about these eyewitness reports in a news conference June 29, President Richard Nixon replied: "We have checked those reports. They have proved to be inaccurate. We have had orders out not to hit dikes because the result in terms of civilian casualties would he extraordinary."

Shevin said, however, that the Supreme Court's action nullifying the death penalty has created "an increased risk to custodial officials' and to future victims of robbery and rape in that the form of penalty now permitted is lile imprisonment, the same as for the killing of any intended victim. "Any extended delay in remedial legislation designed to deal with this increased risk may unfortunately result in the loss of lives between the present day and the regular session of the Legislature."

The appeals court ruled: That McGovern was entitled to all 271 delegates elected in California's winner-take-all June 6 primary. McGovern finished first in the primary, but the Democratic credentials committee ruled last week that the delegates should be split up among the candidates in the California race on the basis of the popular vote.

This took 153 delegates away from McGovern. That the credentials committee acted correctly in unseating the 59-member Chicago area bloc allied to Daley. The committee decided the method used to choose the Chicago delegates did not meet new party rules giving equal representation to women, minorities and youth. McGovern stood to gain 41 delegates from the Chicago area if Daley's suit fails, along with the 153 in the California slate for a total of 194.
