Lawmen seal
University
By RAFAEL BERMUDEZ
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)
—Police and National Guard
troops today sealed off the
Southern University campus,
site of a confrontation in which
two black youths were killed
Thursday. Students and
authorities blamed each other
for the deaths.
Gov. Edwin Edwards de
clared the Uniisiana capital in a
state of emergency and called
up 700 National Guardsmen. He
said there had been a “run on
ammunition” in Baton Rouge
and threats against his life.
Police accused black demon
strators of throwing tear gas
and fragmentation bombs from
the administration building
they occupied and said one of
the bombs was responsible for
the two deaths.
Students said they had no
bombs. They said a law officer
must have killed the youths with
a shotgun blast.
A coroner’s report was
inconclusive.
Deputies Called In
Sheriffs deputies and state
police were called to the
Southern campus Thursday
morning by school officials who
complained protesting students
took over the administration
building. When the officers
arrived, there was an outburst
of tear gas.
The two youths fell dead as
they ran from the building. A
third student was wounded, not
seriously.
Coroner Hypolite Landry of
East Baton Rouge said both
men died of multiple injuries,
mostly to the head, caused by
“lead fragments.” But Landry
said he could not determine
whether the fragments were
buckshot frrom a shotgun or
shrapnel from a bomb.
Edwards, surrounded by 10
bodyguards at a news confer
ence, said sales of ammunition
and firearms in the capital were
ordered suspended.
“Civil liberties are suffocated
at times like these,” he said.
“We have understood that a
group of 10 students have
banded together with the
intention of killing me.” He did
not elaborate on where he got
the information.
Edwards Closes Campus
Edwards ordered the campus
closed until after Thanksgiving.

For three weeks students on
three black university campu
ses in Louisiana have demon
strated, filed petitions,
marched and in one case broken
windows and furniture to back
demands for more voice in
school affairs, better food and
living quarters and the
resignations of administrators.
Seven blacks, including three
student protest leaders, were
arrested during the outburst
Thursday for disturbing the
peace.
One of the dead youths was
not identified. The other one
was Denver A. Smith, 20, of
New Roads, La. James E.
Jackson, 19, of Roseland, La.,
was hospitalized with an arm
wound.
Edwards said the tear gas
battle began when one of the
protesters hurled a gas canister
from the administration build
ing at law officers.
“The governor is a liar,” a
student involved in the melee
told WDSU-TV. The television
station interviewed some
students who were in the
building at the time of the
violence but they would not give
their names for fear of being
prosecuted.
Sheriff Al Amiss said his men
had shotguns but they weren’t
loaded.
“At least 2,000 charged us,”
Amiss said. “We retreated
back. The victims were shot as
we were retreating to get our
gas masks on.”
□aims Bombs Killed Youths
Later he repeatedly said the
youths were killed by bombs
thrown by the protesters. He
said the bombs possibly could
be loaded with buckshot.
Amiss claimed the students
had “overpowered a campus
security guard, and that’s
where they got their tear gas.”
But the students said police
attacked them.
“They were raiding the
administration building. I saw
them throw double canisters
and I saw the students throw
them back,” the student said.
The student said, “We did not
have tear gas and we did not
have bombs. No one in the
administration building was
armed. No one.”
The sheriff said the students
did have bombs, and he said he
saw them.
“They had small military
bombs. The two students were
killed by the bombs—thrown
right by them from a building
window.”
About 15 state police were
with sheriff’s deputies when
they wait on the Southern
campus. Col. Donald Thi
bodeaux, commander of the
state troopers, would not say
whether his men were armed
with live ammunition, but said:
“None of our officers fired
shotguns at the scene.”
Earlier Troubles
In earlier troubles at South
ern University’s New Orleans
campus, demonstrating
students boycotted classes,
marched and occupied that
school’s administration
building Nov. 1. Troops were
ordered ready to move in but
the school’s president, Dr.
Emmett Bashful, resigned as
the students demanded and
order was restored.
Students at Grambling Col
lege broke windows and
wrecked furniture in the dining
hall two weeks ago in a similar
protest.
Television newsfilm of the
Baton Rouge violence showed a
line of law officers about 20
yards from the administration
building. Tear gas canisters
were being thrown back and
forth and the air was filled with
gas. Two students ran from the
building, but suddenly pitched
forward, falling to the sidewalk.
“One was still breathing, but
was bleeding from the mouth
and head,” said radio newsman
Robert Collins, who witnessed
the deaths. “The other student
had been covered by a blanket
and was lying in a pool of
blood.”
U.N. asks
nuclear
test ban
By R.M. SORGE
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —
A key U.N. General Assembly
committee issued an urgent
appeal Thursday for an end to
nuclear testing in the Pacific
following a decision by France
to conduct a series of tests on
Mururoa Atoll, 800 miles
southeast of Tahiti.
In its decision, the General
Assembly’s main political com
mittee called for a halt of
nuclear weapons testing in all
environments, including under
ground.
The resolution regarding the
Pacific tests came on an
overwhelming 106-4 vote, with
eight abstentions.
The vote was made after a
number of nations tried in vain
to prevent specific mention of
the Pacific area, stating that
such a decision would discri
minate against France.
France announced earlier in
the week it would schedule a
series of tests in the Pacific
during 1973. Hie tests have been
going on for the past 4% years
on the Mururoa Atoll, part of
French Polynesia.
The announcement triggered
a wave of criticism, especially
from Pacific area nations.

Carter denies hand
in caucus walkout
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI) - Gov.
Jimmy Carter denied Thursday
he had anything to do with an
earlier walkout of 21 state sen
ators from the Senate Democra
tic Caucus.
Carter told a news confer
ence that the resignations
represented “a struggle for soul
of the Senate,” and not a “pow
er struggle” between him and
Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox.
Although disclaiming persona 1
influence on Wednesday’s move,
Carter said the effort to abolish
the caucus “was successful.”
He termed the current setup of
the caucus a “disgrace to the
state.”
Carter tried to avoid retalia
tion when he refused to blame
Maddox for the Senate condi
tions and indicated others might
be trying to use the lieutenant
governor. Those responsible for
“what’s wrong” in the Senate,
the governor said, included
Sens. Mayion London of Cleve
land and Culver Kidd of Mil
ledgeville.
Maddox, however, blasted
Carter’s statements, claiming
the governor aimed “to take
over and totally control the
Georgia Senate.” He said Car
ter objected to the Senate be
cause it is “the only stronghold
left of legislative independence
... which had exposed efforts
to set up a dictatorship in the
state government.”
In response to Carter’s im
area Fiji delegate, warned the
area should not be turned “into
a convenient garbage can of
Europe.”
France, Portugal, China and
Albania voted against the
resolution which was co
sponsored by Australia, Bolivia,
□tile, Colombia, Ecuador, In
donesia, Japan, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Peru, the Philippines
and Thailand. It also received*
support from Canada and the
United States.
Chinese delegate Chen Chu
explained he cast a negative
vote since a nuclear test ban
now would serve only to assure
“the nuclear monopoly of the
super powers.” China, he said,
would stop testing only “if all
nuclear weapons are
completely and thoroughly
destroyed.” Chen also stressed
that China was doing its testing
“deep in our own territory.”
The committee also approved
two other resolutions that called
for a total nuclear weapons test
ban. One was aimed
specifically at underground
tests while the other called for a
halt to all nuclear weapons tests
by Aug. 5, 1973 “either through
a permanent agreement or
through unilateral or agreed
moratoria.”

plication that other senators
may be trying to use the lieu
tenant governor, Maddox retort
ed, “I’m my own man— and
that’s what bothers Gov. Car
ter.”
Maddox claimed Carter told
him in a private confrontation
two years ago that he would
“fight you head on with any re
source at my command” if the
lieutenant governor opposed
him in seeking passage of leg
islation.
“I was shocked,” Maddox
said, “I had never been talked
to like that before. I expressed
my shock, I told him I would
not fight him — that if there
was any fight, he would have
to initiate it.”
Carter said he thought some
committes had been “contrived
with no work on the part of the
senator related to the commit
tee.” He charged there were
“nonexistent” committees es
tablished to pay senators for
doing no work in exchange for
allegiance to “a small group of
senators.”
Two senators mentioned by
the governor included Sen. Ros
coe Dean of Jesup and Kidd.
Carter said Dean belonged to
“six or eight” committees and
Kidd to 16 committees.
“The caucus has been an ob
stacle to proper legislation and,
in some instances, a disgrace
to the Senate,” Carter said.
“A majority caucus can only
exist if it represents the ma
jority of members of the body.
The effort to abolish it, in ef
fect, was successful.”
When asked who was to
blame for the Senate situation,
Carter said, “That’s hard to
say. Ordinarily, the lieutenant
governor would be to blame,
but he has other business—his
show, and Underground Atlanta.
I would say that it would be
Sens. Kidd, London, and some
of the others.”

Antibiotics useless
in viral infections
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb — Each
winter I have one chronic
sore throat after another. My
problem is that I cannot take
an antibiotic to clear up the
sore throats. I have a re
action and break out for
several days. My doctor has
been giving me antihistimine
with antibiotics for the last
year and a half and has tried
new drugs hoping I won’t re
act, but so far I have always
broken out in a rash. Now he
is afraid to give me anything
but antihistimine. My ques
tion is how dangerous is it to
take an antibiotic and break
out?
Dear Reader — Most cold
and throat infections are
caused by viruses. Antibiot
ics are of no value whatever
in treating these ordinary
virus infections. Antibiotics
are helpful in eliminating
some organisms that are
much like viruses which is
why it is useful in “virus
pneumonia,” which is not
caused by a virus. Strepto
coccal sore throats (caused
by bacteria not viruses) are
properly treated with penicil
lin. Anyone who has an al
lergy reaction to antibiotics
is doubly foolish to be taking
these medicines. It is true
that antibiotics help clear up
secondary infections and doc
tors sometimes give them for
that purpose.
Antibiotics can sometimes
produce very severe re
actions including joint pains
and symptoms similar to
rheumatic fever. I can under
stand why your doctor
doesn’t want to give you any
thing more than antihisti
mine. These won’t cure your
cold, but they may make you
feel better. General sympto
matic treatment is usually
all that is indicated in most
sore throats and colds. This
may include aspirin and for

sl7-million
donation
ATLANTA (UPI) - A sl7
million gift helped boost the
total donations to Emory Uni
versity to a record total of $47
million during the past year,
the president of the Atlanta in
stitution said Thursday.
Emory University President
Sanford S. Atwood, giving his
annual report to the Emory
Board of Trustees, said the sl7
million present given by “long
time friends of Emory” was the
largest single gift ever given
the university and helped to
practically eliminate a small
deficit recorded the year be
fore.
Atwood’s report cited several
areas responsible for Emory’s
good financial position “so fav
orable in contrast to that of
many other universities.”
He said the university was
able to save by freezing faculty
salaries, reducing faculty posi
tions, and cutting back on ex
penditures for travel and pur
chase of equipment and sup
plies.

Dear Dr. Lamb — I am 14
years old and I am only four
feet seven inches tall. I
would like to know if it is
possible to receive a hor
mone from the pituitary that
would help me grow some
more. I heard about it in my
science class.
Dear Reader — One of the
hormones from the pituitary
gland that rests just under
the brain is the growth hor
mone. It is essential for
normal growth. However, at
14 years of age you can’t be
certain that your normal
growth cycle has been
achieved. You may simply
be growing slower. If the
rest of your development is
still delayed by the time you
reach 16, then you might
want to have a careful evalu
ation by an endocrinologist
(gland specialist).
Usually individuals don’t
stop growing until they are
in their later teens or some
times early 20s. Individuals
have different rates of
growth. Most people seem to
have the idea that to grow
rapidly is good. Apparently
this is akin to the old Ameri
can custom that being first
is best, but that isn’t neces-
