Besides the krait and the bam boo viper, the troops encounter the Indian cobra, the king cobra, the fer de.

The troops do not usually encounter the sea snake which inhabits the beach areas of Vietnam. Workers at. Waller.

Reed have reduced venoms from 'Asia to' dry powders and use them to inject monkeys in order to chart the potency and the ways in which they kill. One of the first and most sev- ere effects is depression of the respiratory system. But when doctors counteracted this with drugs and artificial respiration they found that the venoms also attacked the heart. For the snake-bitten soldier, the bite of any of the six land snakes means usually that he will be unable to walk within a half hour. The bites are extremely painful and the venom quickly depresses the heart rate and blood pressure.

Victims are taken to an aid station by helicopter. The bite is cut open, suction used to draw out the poison and a tourniquet applisd loosely restrict the spread. Then antivenom is given if it is available and sometimes steroid hormones, useful in fighting inflammation, are administered Vik said. BJ4JK210aes April 20 By JOHN BARBOUR ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

The Southeast Asian theater of operation has seven poisonous snakes in all and they constitute a strong pyschological factor for American troops, Vik said in a speech for the Federation of American Societies for Ex- I.

small, bluish-black snake is barely four feet long and injects only a small amount of venom. But it is so potent that it can kill a monkey in 10 to 12 minutes.

Soviet Crowd Jeers Priests MOSCOW (AP) A jeering crowd of several thousand Mus covites ridiculed Russian Ortho dox priests during an outdoor Easter procession early Sunday. Police on motorcycles, horse back and on foot controlled the hecklers. The procession around Mos cow's Central Ephiphany Cath edral was a highlight of a six- hour Easter service held from about midnight to 6 a.m. The Russian1 Orthodox church cele brated Easter this year a week later than did Western Christian churches. The priests ignored the rowdy spectators, who turn up every year at Moscow Easter services to show contempt for believers in this predominately atheistic society.

Russians on the scene said the heckling was much better controlled this year than in the past. Crowds have been known 4a stone the priests anoVdrown out their singing with ear-splitting whistles and hoots. Police used bull horns and fists to drive back a few gangs of hoodlums who tried to enter the big iron gate at the cathedral's entrance. One youth was punched repeatedly in the ribs by uniformed policemen, then was released, apparently uninjured. Worshipers jammed all churches in Moscow that are allowed to function.

Most were middle-aged and elderly. Your expandable blood can save an unexpendable American. BAY! S8E! i 7 -t' i I' f-. 'I I 1- I il I 4 I i 4 1 V' f. -I m-vi -a 4 i.

"We are communicating con tinually as church people with non-Christians, and what are we saying? We have been saying the church is outdated, sick.

Ac tions speak louder than Richard Champion, managing editor of the Pentecostal Evan gel, told the students. "If we are not communicating clearly to non-Christians, it is because we are cloistered. Our message must be sincere and without rancor. The age of pushbuttons and instant potatoes is not going to be interested in long dissertations on uninteresting" subjects," Champion continued.

"If communication is not taking place, don't say the reader is at fault," Garlock warned.

Obstacles to communication listed by Garlock were distance, time, and separation between people. "Separation tends to create misunderstanding. Misunderstanding has an almost automatic tendency to create fear, and fear creates hate, and hatred brings separation as the CASH CASH STOCK DIVIDENDS DIVIDENDS DIVIDENDS of 19611, JUST EXIPLODED "I saw a big black cloud, my God, a lot of pressure, and then I saw a trailer in the air, it just exploded," Luke Davis recalls as lie stands amid the wreck, age of what had been his home until the tornado roared through Greenwood, Friday night.

Brought to BUSGf mm By EDWARD G. CLARK NEW YORK (AP) Some of the middle class flow to the suburbs was reversed for a day Sat urday as more than 5,000 subur banites abandoned their golf and spring gardening to clean up rubbish in 50 New York slum blocks.

Men and teen-aged boys carried bags of cement into tenement backyards, while women and children carried bricks and stones and rubbish out at one East Harlem Tom "O'Hara, a lawyer from Pearl River, N.Y., who helped organize the cleanup campaign on several blocks, said, "The institutions, including the government, have failed to make a dent in the poor communities, but people can." A showpiece of the cleanup was a back yard running the length of East 103rd Street, be tween Lexington and Third avenues. The block pioneered the suburbanite-community cleanup last September following riots in the East Harlem section. "We plan to level the back courtyard, cement it and put in a puppet theater, a barbecue pit. a. miniature golf course and othftr recreation things," said Johnny Rivera, 32, a' postal clerk, as work began 5n the 1 morning.

The project was the idea of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Fox, director of the Spanish community action for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

Fifty thousand residents of Manhattan and the Bronx Joined the 5,000 residents in what Msgr. Fox called "a day of work and friendship." Some of the nation's largest corporations donated cement, paint and other building mate ria s. trucks ana tooa tor me block parties that closed out the day. Sanitation Department trucks were sent to haul away the collected rubbish. Asked why he'd joinea in, Robert Savage, of Matawan, N.J., said, "Frankly, I came here because it was a chance to see what Harlem was like.
