Belfast Demonstration

BELFAST, Northern Ireland-British troops used tear-gas to break up a demonstration of militant. Protestants in Belfast yesterday.

The troops were called in to help police break up a march of about 250 Protestants to the new Martyrs Memorial Church of the Rev. lan Paisley. The troops fired tear gas when the demonstrators tried to push through a cordon blocking their procession.

All such public demonstrations have been banned by the Belfast government due to Northern ireland's recent religious clashes. Yesterday's parade was to mark the anniversary of the Roman Catholic civil rights demonstration in Londonderry last October which set off a wave of violence across the country.

Earlier in the day police calmed a riot in which a soldier was shot in the leg and another was hospitalized after being hit in the head by a brick. Forty people were arrested in that encounter.

Two other members of Wilson's cabinet will move to new positions, and five members of the government lost their jobs or were demoted.

Black Physicians

CHICAGO-A recent survey shows that less than two per cent of the country's physicians are black, although blacks' comprise about 11 per cent of the U. S. population.

The survey, conducted jointly by the American Medical Association and the National Medical Association, an organization of black doctors, found that two black colleges-Howard University Medical School and Meharry Medical College-produce 83 per cent of the total 6000 black physicians.

The survey also found that 39 per cent of black doctors are in general practice, compared to 23 per cent of all doctors. Two per cent of black physicians are in group practice, compared to nine per cent of all physicians.

California, New York and the District of Columbia have the highest concentration of black physicians, the survey reported. "Since neither California nor New York has trained a significant number of black physicians praticing there, these concentrations are the result of migration," the survey stated.

Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas have fewer black physicians now than 25 years ago.

Challenge to Pope

NEW YORK-The chief bishop of Canada and 14 American scholars have challenged the Pope's centralized power over the Roman Catholic Church.

The group meeting at Dayton University in Ohio issued a series of recommendations that contend that church control should be spread among all the bishops of the world. They want Catholic problems solved at the national and local levels.

"The Catholic Church does not recognize the Pope to be its absolute monarch, nor the bishops as mere delegates of the Pope," the group's statement said.

It's an Asylmu

HOMESTEAD, Fla.-While Air Force One waited at Holmstead Air Force Base yesterday to take President Nixon back to Washington, a Cuban MIG-17 paid a surprise visit.

The old Russian-built fighter jet was piloted by an unidentified Cuban who asked for and received political asylum. The U. S. said it would return the plane to Cuba.

The Pentagon said Cuba has for some time owned MIG-17s, which were first produced in 1953. Whether Cuba has newer models is classified information.

A $6,472 Husband

SAIGON-The U. S. government has paid a $6,472 "missing person gratuity" to the widow of the Vietnamese man allegedly killed by members of America's elite Green Berets. A. U. S. Army spokesman said the amount was considered "adequate compensation."

The "missing" man, Thai Khan Chuyen, was an employee of the Green Berets (Special Forces) allegedly murdered for being a secret agent of the National Liberation Front.

The U. S. government dropped murder charges against eight Green Berets last week, and now the Army refuses to say that Chuyen is dead. "There is no evidence that he is dead," one spokesman said. Chuyen's body was allegedly dumped in the South China Sea and has not been recovered.

Saigon newspapers have reported two additional cases of missing men in which families charge American forces were involved, but Army spokesmen deny knowledge of either case.

Viet Cong Attacks

SAIGON-The Viet Cong launched the heaviest rocket and mortar attacks in three weeks this weekend, the U. S. Command reported yesterday. The attacks were concentrated in the Mekong Delta southwest of Saigon.

A communique reported that there were 33 shellings Saturday night and Sunday, including 20 in the Delta. No Americans were killed, but eight were wounded.

General Earle G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was visiting the area when the attacks took place. Wheeler said he was expecting the enemy to concentrate on the Delta because the U. S. 9th Infantry Division had recently been withdrawn from the area.

Wheeler arrived Saturday and spent the weekend attending briefings on the enemy's level of activity and on military assistance to the South Vietnamese armed forces. Official sources said he was studying the possibility of further U. S. troop withdrawals from Vietnam.
