BELFAST, Northern Ireland t/P)—A 100-pound bomb planted in a delivery truck blew six per sons to pieces Monday and sent a huge ball of flame rolling down a central Belfast street crowded with shoppers. Another 146 per- Prof forced to resign post due to rule Roland Searcy, part-time lec turer at TAMU and candidate for county attorney, has been forced to resign his position at TAMU because of a conflict with a Board of Directors rule made in the 1950s. “My reason for doing this is that I have discovered that my candidacy for the office of Coun ty Attorney of Brazos County places me in conflict with a rule adopted by the Board of Direc tors which requires any candidate for public office, with the excep tion of local offices for which no salary is paid, to submit their unconditional resignation,” Sear cy said in a statement. Searcy cited political reasons for the rule being enforced in his case. “I think the thing is unconsti tutional,” he said, “but you have to go by the rules.” Searcy was appointed part- time instructor in the Depart ment of Management in the fall of 1970 and reappointed as part- time lecturer in the fall of 1971.” Two men well known for their restigations of psychic phe- mena, Hugh Lynn Cayce and s son, Charles, will speak on eirspecialty Thursday at A&M.

A graduate of the University of Miami Law School, she is a former employe of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington. (AP Wirephoto) sons were injured—some badly maimed. Police said many of the vic tims were lured to the scene by terrorists before the bomb went off outside a Protestant news paper office. The police account said the terrorists warned that a bomb would explode on Church Street and this sent people running to nearby Donegall Street where the explosive device actually had been planted. “This was a deliberate attempt to kill innocent people,” a police spokesman said. “The people who planted it must have known that people were being evacuated into its path.” The explosion was enormous. “I saw a huge ball of red fire rushing up the street followed by a pall of smoke,” a witness said. “There was a huge blast, and people were thrown all over the place.” It was the second major terror ist explosion in central Belfast this month and the worst carnage of the year in Northern Ireland’s continuing violence. Police did not speculate on who the bombers might be. They had blamed the Irish Re publican Army for the bombing March 4 of a downtown restau rant that killed two women and wounded 136 other persons. The IRA, fighting the British and the Protestant - dominated Northern Irish government, de nied it had any part in the res taurant bombing. Victims of the Donegall Street explosion, many of them women, were strewn about in blood and rubble. A policeman wept as surgeons on the sidewalk per formed emergency amputations. Two of the dead were garbage collectors and one was a motorist. Another two were policemen—one Roman Catholic; the other Prot estant. Bombs went off-in two other parts of Belfast after the big blast and in Londonderry a sniper killed a British soldier with a shot through the abdomen. The Donegall Street blast flat tened the truck it was planted in and wrecked shop fronts. The two policemen killed were both offduty radio operators who had volunteered to help patrol the city center as part of tight ened security. In Dublin, three IRA leaders escaped assassisnation attempts from bombs mailed to them. Sean MacStiofain, chief of staff of the IRA’s nationalist Provi sional wing, suffered slight burns to his hands and face when a parcel exploded as he opened it. Cathal Goulding, chief of staff of the rival IRA Official wing, dismantled a bomb sent to him an detonated it safely. Tony Ruane, treasurer of the Sinn Fein, political arm of IRA Provisionals, burned his left hand when a package bomb went off. Wiley expresses optimism for South Leadership, prosperity and youth are the South’s hope for the future, Dr. Bell I. Wiley em phasized here Monday night. Discussing “The Changing South, 1930-1972,” the noted Em ory University professor and po litical observer expressed opti mism for the 11-state region com prising the old Confederacy. “With the right kind of lead ership and the right kind of co operation from the outside, we can realize our exceptional potential,” Prof. Wiley pointed out, “and the land of promise may truly be come a promised land.” He said the leadership must be “black and white, political and economic.” „ Dr. .Wiley said the character of political leadership is changing. “Demagogues are losing out,” he reported. Pointing out the one-party sys tem is breaking down, he quipped: “For the first time in history, a Southerner can be a Republican and be respected.” Dr. Wiley, author of nine Civil War books who has in recent years turned his attention to the “New South,” cited several po litical figures who are setting a progressive pace. He included Governors Reuben Askew of Flo rida, Jimmy Carter of Georgia, Winfield Dunn of Tennessee, Dale Bumpers of Arkansas and John C. West of South Carolina, Lt. Gov. William Winter of Missis sippi and State Legislator Julian Bond of Georgia. The Candler Professor of His tory at Emory University in At lanta also singled out State Sen ator Barbara Jordan of Texas, referring to her as a “remarkable woman.” “It is entirely within the realm of possibility that she might be the first black person in this cen tury from the South to go to Congress,” he observed. Dr. Wiley said the impact of business leaders is at least as great as that of the politicians. “The political-economic part nership necessary to attract in dustry and promote prosperity in the South — a partnership (See Wiley expresses, page 3) 38th Cotton Pageant and Ball scheduled for this Saturday The 38th annual Agronomy So ciety Pageant and Ball will be held Saturday night.
