Eclipse second last of century Immur' up1' it Trial of Daniel Ellsberg finally getting under way Ships and aircraft will be shooed away from the immediate area by coastal patrol planes and coast guard ships. The NRC group at East Quoddy is headed by Dr. A. G. McNamara of Ottawa.

Another NRC group working with the University of Saskatchewan will fire rockets at Churchill, where the eclipse will be 92 per cent of total. 4 SPEG1AL! suit end LOS ANGELES (Reuter) The long-delayed Pentagon papers trial opens here today as two former researchers face charges of theft, conspiracy and espionage in a hearing they hope will turn into an indictment of the Vietnam war itself. Daniel Ellsberg, 41, and Anthony Russo, 35, former associates at the Rand Corp. Research Institute here, are charged with stealing the secret Vietnam war study and leaking it to the press. Publication of parts of the documents in the New York Times and Washington Post last year caused a political furore over undisclosed government involvement in Vietnam.

The trial, delayed for months by pre-trial motions, will be speeded up on its opening phase by federal Judge Matthew Byrne conducting jury questioning himself. Jury selection in other highly-publicized California trials often has lasted a month or more. Judge Byrne's handling of the questions is expected to cut selection to a few days. The defence has been given 14 challenges and the prosecution six to weed out jurors chosen by the judge. The trial itself is expected to take 10 to 12 weeks.

The case does not involve the actual leaking of the papers but only the period between March, 1969, and September, 1970, when Ellsberg and Russo allegedly took various volumes of the 38-volume study and handed them over to persons not authorized to receive them. Ellsberg, a former hawk on the Vietnam war who later became a dove, was one MANGE Daniel Ellsberg Long delays over 200 SUIT ENDS OF OUR FINEST SUITINGS Tailored'to-Measure Regular to $165.00 Values By Th Canadian Press A solar eclipse starting on the Arctic coast of Alaska and travelling southeast across Canada at almost 2,000 miles an hour today will be the next-to-last one visible in North America in the 20th Century. It will cross Hudson Bay, central Quebec, northeast New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and eastern Nova Scotia, passing into the Atlantic over Sable Island. The path of totality stretching from Siberia to the North Atlantic will be about 100 miles wide, and the total blackout will last a little more than two minutes at most points. The eclipse will be tota at Baker Lake, N.W.T., at Chatham, N.B., Charlottetown, and East Quoddy, N.S.

This will be the last total eclipse of the sun in Canada until 1979. After that, Canadians will have to wait until the 21st century. Weather forecasts called for sunny weather over eastern Canada except for a few showers or thundershowers. Scientific tests A team of solar astronomers hopes to make an airborne observation eight miles above northern Canada of the sun's corona during the eclipse. A U.S.

cargo jet stuffed with elaborate scientific gear laboratory was to take off from Seattle. Experiments aboard the aircraft were to measure the corona's magnetic field, its temperature, and other characteristics that still aren't well understood despite 140 years of research. Scientists believe that the corona contains clues to how the sun inter-acts with tiie earth why it causes disruption of radio communications, the intriguing northern and southern lights and other effects that interfere with man's activities. At Churchill, and at East Quoddy, near Halifax, Canada's National Research Council planned to fire a total of eight rockets to loft instruments into the path of totality. Black Brant rockets at East Quoddy will be fired to a height of about 100 miles and fall into the sea about 45 miles off shore.

He is charged with one count of conspiracy, five counts of theft of government property and six counts of violating the Espionage Act. Russo is charged with the same count of conspiracy, one of receiving stolen government property and two of violating the Espionage Act. Conviction could result in a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison for Ellsberg and 35 years for Russo. Both have pleaded not guilty.

232-5343 TRANSLATION SERVICES iJm 'Also: Spanish Italian German Newly-promoted general killed in South Vietnam SIMPSONS ears REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) A newly-ordained Lutheran minister, preaching his first sermon, assailed chess champions Bobby Fischer and Boris Spas-sky on Sunday. Rev. Olafur Jens Sigurds-son said Fischer, the American challenger for the world championship here, was guilty of the "sin of greed" and Soviet titleholder Spas-sky the "sin of anger." The two are scheduled to meet Tuesday in the first game of their match for the world chess championship. The clergyman's reference to Fischer's alleged "greed" recalled the American's threat to wreck the 24-game series unless the Icelanders gave him more money. Spassky's anger was shown in the world champion's threat to walk out unless he got an apology from Fischer.

In addition to resentment at Fischer's demand for money, some Icelanders dont like the fact that he requires a police guard. "Spassky goes around freely. He's not afraid. What's the matter with Fischer?" a non-chess-playing waitress commented. 6 iSa ONE WAY Carlingwood and St.

SAIGON (AP) A North Vietnamese artillery shell killed a U.S. general promoted only 12 days ago and three other officers shortly after they landed at An Loc for an inspection, the U.S. command announced today. Richard Tall-man, 47, a native of Hones-dale, was the eighth American general killed in the Vietnam War and the first in two years. The names of the other American casualties with Tallman were withheld until notification of next-of-kin.

Tallman had been the command's chief of staff since last January, was named its deputy commander June 28 and the next day was promoted to brigadier-general. An Loc has been under heavy North Vietnamese siege for weeks and is still being shelled daily. U.S.

liopef ill N. Vietnam set to talk SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (Reuter) The United States government is preparing to resume the Vietnam peace talks in Paris this week amid new signs of optimism along American officials that Hanoi may be ready to negotiate an end to the war. The U.S. government believes a combination of diplomatic and military factors now make it more likely that the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong guerrillas of South Vietnam will be willing to talk seriously about peace.

The clearest indication so far came Saturday from Dr. Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's foreign affairs adviser. The U.S. has some reason to believe Hanoi will resume the peace negotiations Thursday in something of a new spirit, Kissinger said. This seemed to indicate that perhaps the United States has been informed by a third country most likely the Soviet Union or China that North Vietnam might be less intransigent when the talks resume.
