Monday.
“The following morning, hundreds of Chinese
students put up posters demanding punishment of

The Africans charged the posters called them

day they also had aroused jealousy among Chinese
male students by dating Chinese girls.
All the injured except one African with a serious
eye injury have left the hospital, the unidentified
Chinese spokesman said.
The Shanghai education official said police sped
to the dormitory to “prevent the Chinese students
from attacking the foreign dormitory.
“Authorities set out to evacuate the foreign stu
dents but the Chinese students blocked all rescue
efforts. In the scuffles, foreign students, faculty
members and police trying to protect them were
injured. By 9 o’clock most of the foreign students
had been evacuated” to a Shanghai hotel, the official
said.
The Chinese official also promised remedial action
in an aparent attempt to sooth the ruffled feelings of
Third World nations whose students were involved.
“Chinese students at all schools in Shanghai will
be given education in discipline, and quarreling,
fighting, goring crowds and anarchism will be
criticized,” the official said.
He added, “We will also educate foreign students
in university discipline and the law.”

WASHINGTON — In a new re
port, the CIA for the second time
predicts that the Soviet Union will
have to start importing oil within a
few years.
Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., said
Sunday the CIA believes Soviet oil
production may begin to decline
next year and the communist coun-
Airline rates
scheduled to

United Press International
GENEVA, Switzerland —
Passenger fares and cargo rates on
all international flights will go up
between 9 and 15 percent as of Sep
tember 1 to offset a doubling of fuel
prices this year.
A complex package involving 59
separate agreements was thrashed
out in two weeks of negotiations by
representatives of 60 major carriers
and announced Monday.
The package is subject to approval
by governments.
Increases in fares and cargo rates
will vary depending on routes, geo
graphical regions and the type of
ticket, the International Air Trans
port Association said.
But the boosts will be “within a
broad bracket of 9 to 15 percent. ” a
statement said.
IATA said the cost of aviation fuel
so far this year has doubled as a re
sult of oil price increases.
Last year fuel costs were an aver
age 18 percent of an airlines total
operating costs, a figure that now
has risen to 25 percent.
tries as a whole will become oil im
porters rather than exporters within
three years.
The Wisconsin Democrat is
chairman of the House subcommit
tee on intelligence oversight.
“We may be seeing the peak of
Soviet oil production right now,” he
said in a statement Sunday.
According to CIA estimates, he
said, Soviet production reached a
record high 11.73 million barrels a
day in April and then fell to 11.35
million in May.
While it might be possible to
“gloat” over the drop in Soviet pro
duction, Aspin said, the result
would be a decrease in the world
supply and more upward pressure
on oil prices.
He said te CIA now believes
Soviet production may fall by a third
in the next six years.
“The CIA says that at the very
best the Russians will be producing
10 million barrels a day in 1985, but
if luck isn’t with them production of
only 8 million is very likely,” he
said.
For several years, Aspin said, the
communist countries have been ex
porting about 1 million barrels a day
to the West.
“The CIA now forecasts that as
early as 1982 the communist nations
could be importing 700,000 barrels
a day,” he said. “That means that
instead of adding 3 percent to the oil
in word trade, the communist states
would be subtracting 2 percent.”
Aspin said a similar forecast by
the CIA in 1977 involved it in “con
siderable controversy,” with critics
arguing the CIA had ignored con
servation measures that might be
imposed by a totalitarian state.
He said the CIA later issued
another study in which all refer
ences to Soviet oil imports were
dropped.
“Now, after two more years of as
sessing a growing body of data, the
CIA has reached essentially the
same conclusion as in 1977 — that
the Soviet Union in the very near
future will need to import oil,” As-
pin’s statement said.

Jarcuse, a professor at the Uni-
isity of California, arrived in
Inkfurt May 18 to address a meet
ing of fellow philosophers with a
speech titled “Progress and Pro
foundness.”
Colleagues said that after the
speech, Marcuse complained of
heart problems. He was treated at
hospitals in Frankfurt and Munich
and later moved to the hospital at
Starnherg, 20 miles southwest of
Munich, his West German publish
ing house Suhrkamp said.
Born to upper-middle class
Jewish parents in Berlin on July 19,
1898, Marcuse was educated at the
Universities of Berlin and Frieburg
before fleeing the rise of Hitler in
1932.
After a year in Geneva and and a
year in Paris, Marcuse went to New
York where he joined Columbia
University’s Social Research Insti
tute in 1934.
After becoming a naturalized
American citizen in 1940, Marcuse
joined the Office of Strategic Serv
ices — the wartime predecessor of
the CIA —»where he headed the
Europe Section between 1942 and
1950.
Later, he spent three years at the
Russian Institute of Columbia Uni
versity and Harvard’s Russian Re
search Center until Brandeis Uni
versity lured him away with a pro
fessorship of political science 1954.
In 1965, he took a professorship at
