About 16 players and 40 chanting spectators were still on hand at game's end, having helped raise $1,100 toward a Christmas toy project for needy children. The game, ending in a score of 788-767, was organized by John Kramer, 19, a sophomore from Baltimore. He said trie project was inspired by Baltimore's annual marathon game between Towson State and Loyola.

Towson and Loyola students have said their 76-hour 1969 game was a world record. Kammer said Baltimore students told him they would, try to beat Marquette's 82-hour marathon beginning Dec. 4. meeting of area teenagers at 'the. United Methodist Church Youth Center.

According to Rachel Sanborn. 16-year-old Lincoln High School junior, anyone interested in establishing the "hot line" is welcome to attend the.meeting which will be held between 3 and 5 p.m. "The program is not church connected," she said. "The meeting is being held at the youth center, because of its i centralized location." She said a similar meeting was held last week for the purpose of determining the scope of the telephone service. At that meeting, the students envisioned a telephone service at some undisclosed location manned by an adult arid youth who would attempt to console troubled callers and perhaps direct them situation, warranted it.

"Hopefully, the service can begin in January," Miss. Sanborn said. The primary, target for the "hot line" will be teenage drug abusers, but the service will be open to any age group with any problem. Miss Sanborn said the line is intended to fill a void for youth who feel that no one is listening to them. "Maybe they just want to talk, but feel they can't at home or anywhere else," she added.

The "hot line" concept was instigated by Lee Tryon of the Wood County Community Action Organization earlier in the year. The idea has subsequently been supported by police, school, health and other community officials. DACCA, East Pakistan (AP) President Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan is returning to Dacca Tuesday to look into the foundering relief program for the hundreds of thousands storm victims still in need food, shelter, clothing and medi cine. The announcement of th president's return gave no indi cation how long he would stay Following the cyclone and tida waves which hit the Ganges Delta 10 days ago, Yahya Khan 1 made one brief visit to Dacca 01 his way home from a visit to China and flew over the devas- ated area for two hours. That was five days ago, and there has been much criticism because he has not been back As government officials and relief agencies battled over operation of the aid program, political leaders in East Pakistan were growing increasingly critical.

The dispute is expected to put new life into demands for local autonomy from the central government-in West Pakistan. The Red Crescent, Pakistan's Red Cross, is operating independently of -the East Pakistan Relief Commission after a 24- hour dispute over possession of 20 inflatable rafts and outboard motors flown in Saturday by the British Red Cross. The Red Crescent grabbed the boats rather than contend with government CARE, the American- volunteer agency, has halted ship- 1 ment of all relief supplies into East Pakistan. "We have all we can effectively control," said a spokesman, reflecting unwillingness to let the government distribute the organization's supplies among the 2 million survivors of the disaster, in which more than 150,000 persons--and possibly as many as killed. John Lee of the Save the Children Fund said the League of 'Red Cross Societies has advised its members around the world to stop sending personnel, including doctors, to East Pakistan unless specific skills or persons are requested.

Personnel and goods are piling up in Dacca, 100 miles north of the stricken area, but red tape and a shortage of transport nrs keeping the bulk of them from moving out. Foreign relief i i a claimed that any chance for coordinated relief efforts has been lost in the confusion among government and private agencies. But a spokesman for THE DAILY TRIBUNE INFORMING THE SOUTH COUNTY A A OF I Section Monday, November 23, 1970 the central miles away government, 1,000 in West Pakistan, said it was doing "all possible" for the aid program and that 240 doctors were already in the field with nurses and medical assistants. The spokesman refused to explain, however, to what extent the army is participating. East and West Pakistan are divided 'by a thousand miles of India as a result of the 1947 partition of British India.

The East Pakistanis for years have com- Dlained that they have not a fair share of attention rom the central government although their region is the more populous.

Bishop Mariano G. Gaviola said the Pope had asked for a quiet reception, and the decorations were intended only to demonstrate the Philippine tradition of hospitality.

Paul Cardinal Yu-pin of Nationalist China told the conference that the main social problems of Asia arise from neglect of the region's peasants and "concentration of political power in the hands of a few (which) has led to corruption, misuse of power and oppression, and has made a mockery of democracy in the eyes of the majority of people." The cardinal said the "basic solution therefore lies in changing and reshaping existing social structures and institutions." The "salvation of the Asian masses must come from the people themselves," he said, and the role of the church is to help' them in the process.
