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.

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.
