NEW YORK — The Dalai Lama,
exiled “godking” of Tibet, ar-
dinNewYork Monday to begin a
lever tour of the United States
ill include a stop in Houston.
Port Authority police at Kennedy
rport said they handled crowds of
mirers who greeted the Buddhist
ider when he arrived aboard a
tissair flight from Zurich.
The Dalai Lama scheduled the
iirinan attempt to gain support for
homeland’s independence.
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.

the recent ones in Little Rock, would
be tolerated more than rock music.
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.”

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.

Bova starting
new hero book
United Press International
Most people try to finish what they
start.
Not science fiction author, editor
and anthologist Ben Bova. He’s just
started what he finished last year
when he wrote “Millenium.” That
one was all about the last half of his
fictional spaceman hero’s life.,
Now he’s out with “Kinsman” —
the story of the first half. Backward as
that may seem, he must be doing
something right. He just won a co
veted Hugo Award — the sixth of his
career — in Brighton, England, this
time for his work as science fiction
editor of Omni magazine.
