Bomb explodes at London club
Associated Press
LONDON — A bomb packed
with ball bearings, nuts and bolts
was hurled through the window of
an exclusive restaurant crowded
with diners in London, killing a man
and a woman and injuring 17 others.
Police said the three-pound an
tipersonnel device was tossed into
Walton’s restaurant, in the fashion
able Chelsea district, from a speed
ing car Tuesday night. There were
about 70 diners in the restaurant at
the time, and there was no warning.
An American woman was among
the injured.
It was the 14th terrorist bombing
in the London area in three months
and raised the toll to eight dead and
nearly 20 injured. The bombings are
blamed on the Irish Republican
Army, which has been fighting a
guerrilla war to oust Britain from
Northern Ireland.
The most recent attacks have all
been aimed at the homes and haunts
of London’s rich and famous. Two
other restaurants in Mayfair were
among previous targets.
Police said the dead man was
Theodore Williams, a 49-year-old
Londoner. The woman killed was
not immediately named.
Several foreigners were thought
to be among the injured, but the
only one identified was Barbara
Matthews, 39, of New York City,
who was treated at a hospital for an
ear injury and discharged.
Witnesses told police the bomb
landed on a table in the restaurant
and began “sizzling before it
exploded.
“I remember looking at the table
and seeing red sparks like
sparklers,’’ said one of the diners.
Ivy Brent. “My girl friend said, ‘My
God, it’s a bomb.’ Then the place
was just full of smoke and dark.
James Neville, deputy head of
Scotland Yard’s bomb squad, called
the bomb a “shrapnel-like device
designed to kill and injure.”
Badly wounded diners smashed
their way blindly into the street
where many collapsed, blood
streaming from their faces.
Hours before the bombing, the
police announced they had com
pleted a fruitless search for arms and
explosives aboard the liner Queen
Elizabeth 2 in Southampton but
were convinced the flagship of the
Cunard Line has been used for
years to smuggle explosives to Irish
bombers from sympathizers in the
United States.
The police said they have asked

Police found a 40-pound cache of
explosives Sunday in an apartment
house overlooking the Southampton
docks where the QE2 was berthed.
The explosives were like those used
in recent London bombings, and 45
suspects, including crewmen from
the liner, were questioned.
Butz names
Dr. Uvacek
to ag board
Dr. Edward Uvacek, livestock
marketing specialist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service, has
been appointed to the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture s Technical
Advisory Committee on Livestock
and Livestock Products for Trade
Negotiations by Secretary of Ag
riculture Earl Butz.
Uvacek’s appointment was an
nounced by State Extension Service
Director Dr. John E. Hutchison. In
making the announcement, the di
rector stated that “the invitation was
evidence of the very high regard for
Dr. Uvacek’s technical competence
in the broad field of livestock mar
keting. ”
The committee is one of eight
Technical Advisory Committees set
up by the U.S. Department of Ag
riculture and the Office of Special
Representative for Trade Negotia
tions. Advisory committees have
also been established on cotton,
dairy, fruits and vegetables, grain
and feed, oilseeds and products,
poultry and eggs, and tobacco.
“Purpose of these committees is
to provide technical advice and in
formation on tariff and non-tariff - is
sues affecting domestic and foreign
commodities during trade negotia
tions, explained Hutchison. “The
committee that Uvacek has been
appointed to will deal mainly with
livestock related imports and ex
ports.”
Multilateral trade negotiations
which are currently under way in
Geneva, Switzerland, are the first
since 1967 and involve more coun
tries and a wider range of issues
than any previous trade negotia
tions, noted Hutchison. Input from
the various committees will be vital
to these crucial negotiations.
TEC reports
unemployment
claims decline
The Texas Employment Commis
sion (TEC) office in Bryan reports
that claims for unemployment in
surance in Brazos County dropped
13 per cent during October from
September’s figures.
The TEC said Monday that 465
persons out of work applied for un
employment insurance last month,
down from 525 in September. In
October, the TEC placed 372 per
sons in jobs, a slight decrease from
September when 418 jobs were fil
led. TEC officials said the decrease
in placement activity during the lat
ter months of the year has tradition
ally been a seasonal trend in the
Bryan-College Station area.
Preliminary labor force statistics
from September indicate only 1,021
persons were out of work out of a
labor force of 30,166, resulting in a
3.4 per cent unemployment rate in
the area, one of the lowest in the
nation.
The TEC also said it will be mov
ing to its new offices at 801 E. 29th
St. in Bryan during the first two
weeks in January. Their offices are
presently located at 409 N. Texas
Ave. in Bryan.
