oblos-VJorCtt Most of CHAPEL HILL - Justifying? it 7Mras in Pearl Harbor,' spying aim coven activities of said me cenirai intelligence Agency (CIA) William Colby, former CIA director, told about 450 people , 'that the biggest problem for the U. S. will be its . . relationship to Third World Nations, which he de scribed ' as envious of U. Si wealth and technology. About 30 demonstrators picketed out side Memorial Hall prior to Colby's speech. Following a smooth, articulate speech, Colby was attacked by quesr tlons particularly related to CIA Involvement in Vietnam and North Africa. he According to Colby, Third World nations look to the dis parity of technology, and resources needed for their production of goods and ser vices "and think of weapons to use to secure a more equi table division of the world's goods." Sabotage, boycott, anti-American demagogy, em bargo, "terror against this delicately-tuned international civilization that we have developed," he described as tools of Third World nations to gain power. These problems, he con tended, can be handled "if we know about them. It is this knowledge that we can get through modern intelligence that will enable us to cope with this problem ... so the the questioners seemed not to be afraid of. the "reckless despots" in Africa, - Asia or South. America . who might ' acquire nuclear weaponry .'to the destruction of the world; but expressed fear of what Colby represented to Americans and people the world over. One 'questioner focused on the Phoenix program in Viet nam where, Colby admitted, more than 20,000 Vietnamese suspected ; of . , loyalty to communist troops were killed following being listed as subsersives by the CIA. The questioner disputed Colby's 20,000 estimated murdered and gave a 40,000 dead figure. Defending the CIA against "improper doings" Colby said that he definitely did not con sider himself a "war criminal" because of the massive num bers of deaths of the Viet namese. Colby continued his asser tion during a recent Con gressional investigation of the CIA that only minor spying of Americans was done under the CIA and that the CIA did not pay for or directly have assassinated any foreign leaders although he did admit that they tried several times to assassinate Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Qstro support to right-wing mili tary groups plotting to over throw Chilean President Sal vador Allende, saying they were given only $30,000 worth of military assistance, rather, than the popularly know figure of over $1 million. Cplby said the illegal open ing of U. S. citizen's mail by the CIA did not continue after he became director because he had it stopped. Syd Stapleton, Executive Director of the Poli tical Rights Defense Fund, said Colby's message was "slick" and an "outrageously false message." He said the activi ties of the CIA "threaten not only the rights of the Ameri can people but the rights of all people all over the world to determine the kind of government they have, to grapple with the problems that people face in a semi colonial world. ... The CIA recognizes no obligation to anyone neither the American people nor anyone outside the United States - SAT., AP7U19. 1777 TH CAROLINA TlT'IJ - 5 lafifcs Co Do f 1cZ7c$J?zcl 1 .hnffd PdM:Pii 0c-::-r:!j i - :- " , r "-; . . r - r 3:;'.: I M .

Stapelton, scheduled to de bate Colby the following day, said that he did not believe Colby's claim that he had not ordered assassinations of foreign leaders.

But he says those who are reluctant to accept change "have to be shown by results" that there is a need for change; that doing something a certain way does make it better. Mitchell, the first black to become per sonnel director, was formerly an employee of the state personnel department assigned to the Corrections Department. He was appointed by Secre tary of Corrections Amos Reed. r Mitchell says that before the Hunt Administration ends he expects ; to improve the Corrections Department's affir mative action program. "Where we have qualified blacks, meet the most pertinent needs of inmates.

However, he is quick to point out that he doesn't hire, but snrtpry recornmends.

In- an. order filed on Thursday, May. 31, McMillan stated that he erred when he failed to place the burden 'of proof- .of self-defense on Rogers and the Town ofPineville. He further stated that it was the burden of the town of Pineville to show that Gordon was not lawfully occupying his house, when shot, a burden that was placed on Gordon in the initial trial.

Equal competition has been assured between white and black operators of taxi-, cabs at the Union Bus Station in Washington (NC), under an agreement announced last week by the Community Relations Service (CRS). Acting CRS Director Gil bert G. Pompa said the agreement averted a threat ened boycott by blacks and eased tension in the wake of confrontations and arrests at the station. Under the agreement, any taxicab may drive onto sta tion property to discharge bus passengers and wait for a. fare at the station taxi stand formerly reserved for a white owned cab company. However, a driver may wait for a fare on station' property only when there is an empty space at the taxi stand, and must puD out immediate upon obtaining a fare, without waiting for a full loak. A taxicab driver hailed from' the street may respond but .cannot bring the vehicle only station property unless a taxi stand space is t empty. . . Both tjhe white-owned and the black-owned cab compan ies are obligated, under the settlement to -provide service during all bus arrivals, includ ing off-peak hours.
