Arab or Israeli, Iranian no bleman or African revolution ary, many of these politicians have at least one thing in com mon: they are alumni of the Graduate Institute of Inter national Studies. The institute, which has won admiration in developing coun tries, was founded in 1927. The Rockefeller Foundation and Swiss authorities were godfa thers of the project, originally designed to train international civil servants for the Geneva based league of Nations, the short-lived ancestor of the United Nations. The institute’s primary goal today, according to its Swiss di rector, Jacques Freymond, is to train able negotiators for the North-South, East-West dia logues that dominate the cur rent international scene. To some, the school has also become an answer of sorts to Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow and other communist campuses where aspiring mem bers of the Third World elite are exposed to ideological in doctrination. In 50 years, the institute has turned out some 4,000 diplo mats, economists and inter national lawyers. The institute operates in both French and English, and its in ternational orientation is re flected in the composition of its faculty and student body, which includes West and East Eu ropeans, North and South Americans, and, making up at least one-quarter of the enroll ment, Africans and Asians. The regular teaching staff, a cosmopolitan group of scientists and development experts, is regularly supplemented by guest lecturers. In recent years, they have included Zbig niew Brzezinski, John Kenneth Galbraith and George Kennan. Situated on a hill overlooking lake Geneva, the stately pink villa which houses the institute has a deceiving ivory tower ap pearance. Three modern pavi lions set in the surrounding park house a small number of students for a nominal fee. Un- til recently segregation was the custom, but this year the dor mitories have begun to go coed. The economic resources of the students are as varied as their national backgrounds. Flashy sports cars and rusting bicycles stand side by side in the institute’s parking lot, and student attire ranges from sweatshirts to Christian Dior originals. An African student who may aspire to his country’s highest office will have to think twice before buying himself a $2 meal at a cheap bistro. But the story is also told of the young Iranian who lived for two years in a luxury hotel before settling in an ultra-chic residential area. For most students, time spent at the institute is not only a passport to a career but is also an experience in international relations at the personal level. As one Ivory Coast student put it, "The first lesson we learn at the institute is to leave all our prejudices in the locker room. We manage to bypass emotionally-keyed differences and get involved, instead, in really worthwhile discussions. “We don't let events in the outside world influence our be havior although what most of us are studying, in fact, is that very outside world. But how else could Arab students study with an Israeli professor and vice versa?” Recently, vague echoes of student discontent have been heard at the institute. The stu dent association wants greater participation at the adminis trative level and is complaining about the length of the doctoral program, which usually lasts six years. Savings for ships NEW YORK (AP) — Mari sat, the first satellite commu nications system for ships at sea could save shippers mil lions of dollars a year, reports The Compass, a publication of MOAC, a commercial marine insurer. Currently, 90 per cent of all ship-to-shore communications are in Morse Code, while most of the rest are by voice trans mission of varying quality, notes the publication. In either case, atmospheric conditions can cause the shipper to be out of touch with his vessel for as long as 48 hours. But with Marisat, an individ ual vessel could save thousands of dollars per year by more op portune course changes at sea. For example, avoiding bad weather can mean tremendous savings in time and fuel, says Compass, noting that the cost of maintaining a super-tanker is roughly $30,000 a day. BY JAN SAVAGE A McDonough woman was threatened with rape when a man appeared at her bedside with a butcher knife. She escaped, however, with only a cut to her right hand. McDonough patrolmen Ricky Dlx and Ronnie Goins answered the call at 6:20 p.m. The woman stated that she came home about 4:00 p.m. and completed a few chores around the house. She decided to take a nap, but her dog who was inside the house kept barking and smelling around walls and cracks. Unable to sleep with his commotion, she put the dog out and layed down once again. The lady continued to tell policemen that she heard strange sounds. When she looked to the left of her bed, she saw two legs. She began to scream when she saw a black male, between the ages of 14-16 standing at her bedside with a wide blade butcher knife in his hand. According to police records, the young boy had hidden In the hall closet. He quietly called her by name saying, "Be still, I’m not going to hurt you.” The two began to tussle and in the struggle, the woman grabbed the blade of the knife, slitting her right hand. r.< * > - * riirinwiwhiii LAKELAND, FLA.—On a hot and humid day in central Florida, young Maria Garcia sought the quickest way to cool off by splashing near a pair of swimming swans who had the same idea. (AP) Environment Brown lung disease gets notice COLUMBIA. S.C.-(LENS) — An illness that has been known in Europe since the 18th century and has qualified its victims for disability payments in Britain since 1941 is only just beginning to gain attention in the United States. Brown lung disease, or byssinosis. is a respiratory ill ness that is widespread in the world's textile industry and is caused by breathing cotton or hemp dust. For years it was believed that the disease was confined to European mills and was associated only with foreign cotton. But two recent reports carried out in North and South Carolina, where a third of the country's one million textile workers live, show that the disease is com mon in America. How common? One report sponsored by the textile manufacturers themselves suggests that there are only about 2,000 victims, but another, by a doctor at Yale, estimates that the figure is closer to 35,000. Not sur prisingly both the textile un ions and the federal govern ment are trying to eliminate rapidly the conditions that cause the disease. New federal standards for cotton dust in the air, which were first debated at hearings in Washington this spring, are now becoming the hottest issue of discussion in mill towns throughout the South. If passed, they would mean a standard five times stricter than the present law. The textile industry claims She managed to get around the side of her assailant, breaking for the side door. A man on a motorcycle was passing by and the woman asked him to stay until she got help. In the meantime, neighbors, who heard the outcries and had come to the street, called the patrolmen to the scene. Chief Thomas Nale of the McDonough Police and Detective Bobby Sowell of the Henry County Police Department, Detective Division, continued to investigate Tuesday morning. "A red pin striped beach hat was found at the back door where the subject apparently ran out. The hat belonged to the woman and her perpetrator was wearing It during their confrontation,” the Chief said. He continued to explain that her McDonough home was burglarized last Thursday and the hat was just one of three reported missing, along with a set of house keys. "But only a skeleton key will open the door no matter how many house keys were taken,” Sergeant Chappell added. A composite drawing has been made by the Forest Park Police Department for the subject who attempted to rape and assault the McDonough woman. Refreshing dip that the machinery needed to meet the regulations would cost about $3 billion, an im possible figure, they say, which could be met only at the expense of higher prices and lost jobs. On past performance the in dustry is likely to have its way. The present weak federal standards for the amount of cotton dust per mitted in textile factories are even now frequently ignored. Violations are seldom punish ed. In South Carolina alone, 59 out of the 74 cotton mills have been found to infringe the laws. The campaign for cleaner mills and medical compensa tion has been slow to catch hold. Ignorance has been one reason. Convinced that brown lung disease was a foreign affliction, both managers and workers in the textile industry attributed the illness’s symp- KM GOOD-YEAR KM g THISWEEK’S | g WINNERS 8 ■S 'Custom Power Cushion Polyglas' IQI fGoodyear's All-Time Bestseller IJL Ri Double |O| D78 ~ I4 'IEM $2 U 9 tfji y!

Moreover the chief cam paigners for better conditions, the trade unions, are par ticularly weak in the industry. Only one textile worker in 10 belongs to a trade union and the biggest textile producer in the country, J.P. Stevens, which has 44,000 workers in the Carolinas, forbids any un ion representation at all. That is now changing. In May the disease was recogniz ed for the first time as an of ficial occupational hazard. Only two victims have won settlements, however; one of these.

U.S. Senator’s vote favorable to jogging By DOUGLAS WELLS Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - On a humid summer morning, Strom Thurmond, 75, loped down the street from his home in a quiet Columbia neighbor hood. “There’s really no excuse for people who say they can’t get exercise,” he said, outpacing a reporter struggling at his side or perhaps a few steps behind. At a time of year when the temperature is enough to keep even avid joggers indoors, the state’s senior U.S. senator often dons a pair of red shorts and a “Run for Fun” T-shirt and jogs at a brisk pace during the day’s coolest hours. Jogging has grown in popu larity with millions of Ameri cans in recent years. But Thur mond is no newcomer to the sport. A former athletic coach, Thurmond has been jogging for half a century, beginning when he ran in the three-mile and two-mile track and cross coun try events at Clemson Univer sity in the 19205. These days he has less com petitive — but more enjoyable — company: his children, J. Strom Jr., 4, and Julianna Ger trude, 3. SPECIAL SERVICE 7 P.M. — Thursday, Aug. 11 With Missionaries From Mexico EMMANUEL TABERNACLE HOLINESS CHURCH North Hill Street Extension Pastor, Rev. J. D. Madarls The senator’s routine calls for jogging about 2 to 2*6 miles on weekdays and three to four miles on weekends. He has become a familiar fig ure to residents of Waccamaw Avenue in Columbia, where he recently moved his family in preparation for his 1978 re-elec tion campaign in South Caro lina. He also runs near his McLean, Va., residence while in Washington. Thurmond has attended sev eral events to encourage other Americans to jog. Most of the Thurmond family jogs, including the senator’s wife, Nancy, 30, and their old est child, 6-year-old Nancy Moore Thurmond. The Thur monds also play tennis and en joy bicycling, but the senator says jogging takes the least time and he runs even when he is traveling. “I just pack some shorts and shoes,” he says. “Running, I think, is one of the finest ex ercises that one can participate in. Jogging is something that you can keep up for the rest of your life, if you want to do it.” Then he added, "Os course, you have to do it with dis cretion.”
