In addition to speaking igagements at several universities, -year-old religious leader ans to participate in an ecumenical rvice with Cardinal Terence joke at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Wednesday night. Regarded by some Tibetans as the Ith reincarnation of a founder of the [ahayana branch of Buddhism, the alai Lama, fled his remote ountain kingdom 20 years ago hen it was seized by Chinese ommunists. Since that time, he has ten living in exile in India, where has some 100,000 followers. Last spring, the Dalai Lama re fused an invitation by the Chinese to return to what they called his “Socialist Motherland,” where he was installed as the “god-king” by lamas — or Buddhist holy men — at the age of 4. No Dalai Lama ever had visited the United States. The Dalai Lama is expected to speak at several universities and stop in Newark, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco and Seattle as well as the Texas city during his 49-day stay. A group of Americans and Tibe tans, in anticipation of the Dalai La ma’s visit, called on the U.S. gov ernment to support the people of Tibet in their quest for indepen dence from the Chinese. “There is no doubt in my mind that the U.S. would be successful because China must rely on the U.S. for assistance,” said Gilbert De- Lucia, a Manhattan attorney who founded the Friends of Tibet Society in 1963. DeLucia said the United States could include the matter of Tibetan independence in talks next year be tween President Carter and high- level Chinese officials.

Concert promoter Dugan Kin, said the crowd was to be limited to 40,000. “The land we ll be using just can’t handle any more cars and people than that, so the state police have orders to turn people back after 40,000 have come in,” he said. “I think we ll be the largest gathering ever to attend a concert in Arkansas. We might even match a Razorback game or Oaklawn.” King said state and county officials were surprised and pleased by the security arrangements the concert managers had prepared. “The police thoroughly understand and agree that Arkansans have a right to spend Labor Day together any way they want to,” King said. “I was in (Gov.) Bill Clinton’s of fice,” King said, “and he said he might attend the concert. I’m not promising he will, but if he does I’m going to put a saxophone in his hands and see if we can get him up there with his brother and ‘Dealer’s Choice.’ He’s really good on the saxophone.” exampi ning uni shortage ;e — ink that ould 1 :Ould be i riction, arate ef itiom'ng i Woman critical despite two hearts United Press International MADISON, Wis. — A woman who received a second heart last week in a 16-hour transplant operation was reported in critical condi tion at the University of Wisconsin Hospital. “This is the critical period because of her heart surgery and because of the transplant, ” hospital spokesman Cindy Ellis said. “The doctors are waiting to see if the body’s going to reject the heart. ” The patient, identified only as being 36 years old, was given the heart from a South Carolina youth. The hospital said the patient’s diseased heart was left in place and the surgical team, led by Dr. Donald Kahn, performed open-heart surgery to replace a valve, then put the transplanted heart in the right side of her body. The woman underwent a program of lymphoid irradiation and a bone marrow transplant along with the heart surgery. The new tech nique is aimed at preventing the body from rejecting the new heart.
