Page 10 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1979 Lama tells of Tibet, China talk United Press International NEW YORK — The Dalai Lama, the exiled “god king” of Tibet, ac knowledged Tuesday that there have been talks between Tibetan exiles and the Chinese Communists about the possibility of his returning to his native land. However, at a news conference, the religious leader sidestepped questions about whether he had spoken to the Chinese about ending his 20-year exile. “Absolutely you have the right to put any questions to me,” he told reporters with a smile. “Equally, I have the right to give no answer.” He said his visit was “basically nonpolitical, mainly religious and cultural.” But he added that if re porters “put questions to me,” about the Chinese control of Tibet, “I’m sometimes compelled to say something.” “There are many things changing, a more moderate atmosphere is coming — more liberalization, which is most welcome,” he said. Upbeat Carter returns to D.C FRENCH’S ‘ SCHOOLS 4 Convenient Locations After School Pick-up Infant, Day Care, Kindergarten & Private First Grade Tap-Ballet Classes State Licensed United Press International WASHINGTON — President Carter, who began his vacation travels with a warning that the na tion is having a “crisis of confi dence,” is back at the White House with an upbeat report: “The spirit of our country is still intact.” Carter, who apparently picked up a cold on his trip home to Plains, Ga., looked tired when he hosted a picnic for 1,200 labor leaders and their families Monday night on the gaily decorated South Lawn. But he was in good spirits as he and his wife Rosalynn mingled with his guests and later spoke from an outdoor stage. “We have had a good vacation,” he said. “We have been down the Mississippi River. We had a few days at Camp David. We went down to Atlanta, to Tampa, to Plains. And everywhere I went my confidence in this nation was strengthened. “I began to see more and more clearly that my basic belief in the strength of our country is well jus tified — not only our military and economic strength and political strength, but our ethical and moral strength. The spirit of our country is still intact.” Carter praised the labor move ment for being in the forefront of the civil rights struggle and social progress, and said: “We have got a great country, and part of that greatness has been that every time we have been tested in the past we have been drawn closer together. And I can say the working people of our country, the labor movement, the trade unions, have always been in the forefront when there was a dynamic struggle to make our nation greater in time of peace, especially in time of war.” He thanked the labor organiza tions for endorsing the arms limita tion treaty — SALT II — and prompted cheering applause when he said, “we also need a national health insurance program.” In giving his rundown on the rec ord of his presidency. Carter said, “I thank God that in the last two and a half years we have not had a single American lose his or her life in com bat anywhere in the world. And I would like to go out of office after I have served as president with that record still intact. We want peace.” Carter told the gathering that AFL-CIO President George Meany had telephoned him to say that he would be unable to attend because he had “a slight virus attack.” He called Meany a “fine man,” and requested a round of applause for the ailing labor leader. Carter has his work cut him over the next several week Wednesday, he will huddle Democratic congressional leaden discuss a legislative timetable the remainder of the session, tieularly to get action on his ei program.
