Viet border skirmish
Warned on Chinese
g. United Press International
II BANGKOK, Thailand—Vietnam has accused China of attacking its
|r 0 , r ”® r i n the first major battle between the two Communist
ineighbcrs. It charged Peking has secretly dispatched an army of
W,000 men to Cambodia to launch more attacks.
The charges were made Friday by Radio Hanoi and the
rotnamese Foreign Ministry, which lodged a formal protest with
“eking.
j They coincided with the signing of a friendship treaty between
ifietnam and the Soviet Union — a treaty that pledged Moscow to
a . e appropriate effective measures in the event Vietnam is at
tacked.
China would not immediately comment on the border battle which
rotnam said killed six Chinese soldiers and “many” of its own troops.
The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry said the battle took place Wed
nesday in Cao Lang province, 132 miles north of Hanoi.
« demanded that China admit reponsihility for the battle, “refrain
trom causing further tension in the area and immediately stop all acts
u iolating the territorial integrity of Vietnam.”
It also accused China of planning further attacks on two border
™nts, backed by a 100, (XX) man Chinese force it charged had been
neployed in Cambodia.
China repeatedly has denied having troops in Cambodia but admits
jp v ing the Cambodians weapons to defend themselves against
Vietnamese aggression.”
The Soviet-Vietnamese friendship treaty was signed in Moscow
Friday following two days of talks between Soviet officials and a
.ictnamese delegation led by Communist Party Secretary Le Duan
™ Premier Pham Van Dong.
The treaty stopped short of commitment of military assistance but
promised the Kremlin woidd take “appropriate effective measures to
ensure peace and security” in the event of an attack.
f there was any doubt of that being a message to China, Soviet
oesident Leonid Brezhnev quickly dispelled it. “At this complicated
moment, when the policy of the Chinese leadership has created new
considerable difficulties for socialist construction on Vietnamese soil,
e sfrength of our friendship, the strength of the solidarity of the
jates of the socialist community holds special significance,”
rezhnev was quoted as saying by the official news agency Tass.

LOS ANGELES — J°ggi n g may
be good for the health of the jogger,
but shapely women runners are sub
ject to their own health hazard —
and a threat to traffic safety.
Terra Levin, an accomplished
long-distance runner and the na
tional director of a series of
10,000-meter races, said many in
juries are caused by women who run
without wearing bras.
She advises even the casual
woman weekend jogger to fit herself
into a comfortable bra before going
through her paces. Women who
don’t. Levin said, risk sagging
breasts and severely irritated nip
ples.
But in terms of actual injuries,
women are much better off than
male automobile drivers who peer
along sidewalks, in rear-view mir
rors, honk the horn and let loose
with wolf whistles as the braless jog
ger bounces by. It s impossible to
estimate how many times the scene
has been repeated: Woman runs
through heavy traffic. Man twists
and turns to get a better look. Man’s
car slams into vehicle in front.
In Southern California where
T-shirts are the staple of most war
drobes, the problem occurs year-
round. In most parts of the nation,
winter brings a reprieve from the
constant distraction to drivers. But
in this land of eternal sunshine,
there’s just no escape.
In mid-January when most of the
nation is wrapped in heavy wool
coats or sitting in front of roaring
fires. Southern Californians are
playing golf, fishing — and jogging.
“Basically, if a woman is a 34-B or
over, they need support because it
hurts and causes damage. They
should look for bras with no wire or
supports, something cotton that will
absorb the sweat.”
Levin, who lives in Chicago, was
in Los Angeles to organize the
Quaker Oats 10,000-meter run to he
held Sunday. She said while most
people run for the exercise, many
run to he seen. Among this group
are the braless women.
A Santa Monica police otticer,
who chose to remain anonymous,
said he believes one-fourth of all the
accidents that occur between 3 p.m.
and 6 p.m. in his seaside community
can be attributed to shapely women
joggers.
"Some days it’s incredible,” he
said with a laugh. “We watch driv
ers taking that long look. Many miss
stop signs. Many miss red lights.
Many miss (seeing) other cars.”
