Page 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1974 American pilots rumored North Viet prisoners WASHINGTON (AP) - Eight to 10 American pilots still are being held as prisoners by the North Vietnamese, Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman said he has been told. The New York Republican said Tuesday he learned the information on a trip he made to Laos for the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Jan. 6. He was in Laos for about a week. Gilman said Lao Gen. Vang Pao, commander of a military region in Laos, told him of the prisoners. Pao could get no information on the identities of the men, when they were shot down or how long they have been held, Gilman said. Pentagon officials said the report was new to them and they would investigate. Repeatedly over the past year there have been reports of U.S. servicemen still alive in Indochina, but none has proven true. It is considered likely, however, that if any Americans do turn up alive, it will be in Laos. The State Department commented that “We are aware of Vang Pao’s statement to Rep. Gilman. Vang Pao has made similar comments in the past which have been carefully investigated by U.S. officials and have not been substantiated. With Rep. Gilman, we must caution against raising false hopes on the basis of such unverified com ments. “U.S. officials are of course con tinuing to investigate this and all other reports. Any information obtained from any source on any of our missing men is immediately passed to their families,” the state department said. Gilman said “Gen. Vang Pao informed me that he had reliable infor- Campus Briefs Ocean engineering funds Scholarship checks for two ocean engineering students have been sent to the Development Office by the Marathon Oil Foundation, Inc., announced Dr. John B. Her- bich director of the division. William Clarence Dean, a Dal las sophomore, and Jeffrey T. Janik, a senior from East Ber nard, Texas, each received $300 for the Spring 1974 semester. Both students were chosen last year as the first recipients of the Marathon scholarships for ocean engineering students. The firm also presented an unrestricted $1,000 operating grant to the de partment in November. mation that nine Americans are now being held by the North Vietnamese for providing any technical informa-' tion they might possess. “He had no information relative to the identities or condition of these men, except that they were young pilots who had been flying in South east Asia,” Gilman said. The information came as a surprise to American officials in Laos, he added. Gilman said the report would put the North Vietnamese in “clear-cut violation” of the Paris peace accords which called for the return of all American POWs at the time of final withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Vietnam. The report comes against a back ground of over 1,100 still missing, according to the latest Pentagon count. And Gilman said his is in addition to “many stories, accounts that just don’t add up.” Even if the facts were corroborated, Gilman said, “the prospects of any repatriation are not encouraging.” He said efforts to get at known crash sites and to gain more informa tion on missing Americans are hindered because the North Vietnamese control those areas. The safety of American search teams “cannot be guaranteed,” he said. Dinner, featured speakers Members of the Brazos County A&M Club will gather Jan. 30 for the first meeting of the 1974 ac tivities year.

Aggie Players select cast in ‘Rain’ tryouts Dredging studies grant The Grant Contracting Com pany of Greenville, Ohio, has awarded $1,500 to TAMU's Cen ter for Dredging Studies. In announcing the grant, Dr. John B. Herbich, director of the center, noted that the funds, along with contributions from other dredging firms and associations, aid in supporting basic and ap plied dredging research performed by the division. “We also disseminate informa tion resulting from our research to dredging firms and manufac turers,” Dr. Herbich said. “The center also engages in teaching activities with graduate courses in marine dredging.” Periodical short courses are of fered by the division as part of its research and teaching activity. w More MSC activities* The Memorial Student Center Directorate will hold an open meeting tonight in the MSC Stu dent Programs Office meeting rooms L&M at 7:30.

FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Next time you see someone polluting, point it out. It’s litter in the streets. It’s air that smells. It’s a river where fish can’t breathe. You know what pollution is. But not everyone does. So the next time you see pollution, don’t close your eyes to it. Write a letter. Make a call. Point it out to someone who can do something about it. People start pollution. People can stop it.
