"F-t The VANCOUVER SUN: July 15. 1972 3 5 Libvan Dresident Off jnrii rr- rV i an 1 'in huff not jail BEIRUT (AP) Libyan leader Col. Muammar Kadafi drove off in his Volkswagen in a huff after he was unable to make a radio broadcast earlier this week and his brief disapiiea.rance from Tripoli led to reports that he had been jailed by extremists, a Beirut newspaper said today. 0 In a report from the Libyan 'I capital, the well-informed SNAKE SERUM STOPS VENOM Ik Hmmmzh i SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Snake venom serum was rushed here by a United States Air Force jet early today to treat an Idaho man who was bitten by a cobra.

The victim. Kichard Cum-mings, 48. of Post Falls, was reported "resting comfortably" in hospital. The serum was obtained from Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, rushed to MeChord air force base south of Taconia, then flown to Spokane. Cummhigs is an employee at a snake and animal farm at Stateline, Idaho.

He drove 20 miles to hospital here Friday night and reported the bite on his lcit baud. i4 1 vt 1. 1 newspaper An Kabar also says Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made a secrel four-hour visit to Tripoli Thursday to help settle differences and then returned to Cairo after a settlement was reached. The 12-nion revolutionary command conned, which Kadaii heads, announced Tuesday that a new cabinet would be formed with the Np. 2 man in the regime, Maj.

Abdul Salem Jaluud, as premier. The indication was that Kadafi would remain as president. According to Au Kahar, Kadafi wanted a cabinet made up of civilians with technical 11 0 I but council members argued for greater military tion. "Kadaii sought to settle this conflict by making an address to the nation over the radio," An Nahar says. "But condir tions that ensued prevented him from doing so.

"Then Kadafi disappeared at the wheel of his Volkswagen and this gave rise to rumors of his arrest." Al Nahar docs not explain the "conditions," but the Cairo newspaper Al Ahram said Friday that members of the Libyan command council took positions at the radio station to keep him from speaking- "Kadafi reappeared Wednesday with bis family, spending the day at the Medi-terranean resort of Kir-karsh," An Nahar says. Then Sadat arrived the fullowing day to meet with Kadafi and other council members. War nearly oyer, says Goldwater SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) Senator Barry Goldwater, a member of the Senate armed forces committee, says flatly he thinks the Vietnam war will end within 60 days. "I predict that in the ne.t month or 60 days the war will formally be over," the Arizona Kcpublican told some 600 persons attending a $l00-a-plate Republican fund-raising dinner Thursday.

Security men board incoming aircraft, especially those from Tehran and pouits east, to scan the passengers and supervise the transfer of tourists and baggage from the plane to the terminal.

thorities, but their protests are still localized and minor. The government has chosen to make an example rather of white students at the English-language universities held demonstrations to show support for students at a segregated black university where there had been mass expulsions. but the unrest goes deeper than this. The studems are deeply involved in the whHu anti-apartheid simple and, with certain elements of the church, they form tha only radical white opposition in the country. In fact apart from the parliamentary opposition, lb students, the church and the English-language press, plus a few small anti-apartheid n-ganizalions, are all that is left of white opposition in South Africa.

They form a slender line indeed.

The police hardly need this encouragement. Student leaders are uaitinj for the government now to begin the next phase of its attack, which they expect to be the deportation of students and lecturers with foreign passports and further restrictions on students such as having their passports confisi'atr ed. White and black student organizations are reviewing their tactics.

Some fundamental decisions face the while students in particular. The present round of police-student clashes began when By STANljJV L'YS The I.undua Observer CAPETOWN j- An uneasy quiet has settlai over South Africa fullowinj! the clashes between police Hid while students.

In spite if this cooling-off, the Vorster overnmeiit shows no iiitenliovof taking a softer line with tli students. Vorster has said te will not give an inch, and tje commissioner of modify them.

The immensity of this ideological collapse will make fascism unavoidable, whether Vorster wants it or not. This is what lies behind the present political ferment in South Africa. Shaken out of their lethargy, many whites are demanding now a full mobilization cf the white opposition in the knowledge that if this mobilization fails then the last chance has been lost to modify apartheid policies and prevent a white-black" confrontation. The resignation from Vor-ster's cabinet of the "enlightened'' minister of the interior, Theo Gerdcncr, has raised hopes that a new or "third force" can be established in parliamentary politics, but there are no signs yet that, these hopes will be realized. solely on behalf of the black students.

They are also fighting for their own rights. The future not only of black, but also of white, opposition is at slake in South Africa now. The baton charge by police on the steps of St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, on June 2, and the pursuit by the police of students right into the cathedral, brought about a traumatic change in the political climate in South Africa, llany whites realized for the first time just how far the Vorster government, was prepared to go to maintain itself in power. The possibility of South Africa eventually becoming a full-fledged fascist slate is being widely discussed now.

The country is being propelled in this direction because its race policies are collapsing and because the government is refusing to compromise and Israelis deny razing former Syrian HQ the white students, who have more freedom of movement and are more vocal, iiauy of the black students, incidentally, are showing no sympathy with the white students. One has even gone so far as to say that the police can bash in as many white heads as they like fur all he cares'. This is because black'povvcr or black consciousness is spreading at the segregated "ethnic" universities, and the students there arc beginning to feel that they are strong enough to go it alone, unhindered by what in the pat ihey have regarded as the inhibiting influence of white students. Ilie white students, of course, are not demonstrating HELD IN KIDNAP PLOT ATHENS (UP1) The Greek government today announced it had arresied eight Greeks who planned to kidnap John F. Kennedy the son of the late U.S.

Those arresied were not identified, but the government said they were "inspired by anarchist-communist ideas and belonging to a so-called new left organization."

Previous theories indudtd sudden extermination when an exploding star swamped lie earth with radiation, and that their bodies grew too big for their tiny brains to manage effectively. But it now appears that what finally finished the dinosaurs was the phenomenon of "egg shell thinning." In the last few million years of the animals' existence, their eggs became so thin that they frequently broke or dried out.

As a result, not enough baby dinosaurs were hatched ami the population declined.

What they are worried about is particles about one -fiftieth cf an inch across hitting the spacecraft at 30,000 miles an hour. "At that speed even tiny particles could do serious damage," a NASA spokesman said.

With the dinosaur, tiie trigger is thought t) have been severe overcrowding as the giant water-living animals josded together in the last remaining oasis in a landscape that was slowly lurui.ig to desert. The first evidence for this new theory was uucartbi'd last year when a team from Bonn University's institute of paleontology found 8o7 fragments of dinosaur eggs in four successive lay.rs of rocks in Provence. While the shells from the oldest rocks were a reasonable two to 28 millimetres thick, in the youngest layers which were laid down close to the time of the last dinosaurs the shells were only 11 to 1.4 milimetres.

Then, two mouths ago, the Bonn team made their lucky find at C'orbieres. The two intact eggs each measured about nine by seven inches. The scientists have now established that the C'orbieres rocks are the same age as the youngest rocks from the Provence find, and that the eggshells arc equally thin. As a final confirmation, electron microscope studies of the C'orbieres eggshells have shown that they arc so Ihi.i that the dinosaur embryos could not even have started absrobing calcium for their skeletons from the shells. Piofessor Ueiiiricli Erbcn, bead of the Bonn intitule, said last week that bis best guess as to why this happened was overcrowding, llu has found evidence that the Provence site was an oasis and C'orbieres an isolated river pasture and that both sites were drying up.

The dinosaurs would have had food and water, so it was not starvation that killed them off.
