He and Dr. Bernard Lown, Amer ica n co-fdunder of the International Pti vsicians for Prevention of Nuclear War, are heart specialists. Officials at Oslo’s Rikshospitalet said the journalist, Lev Novikov of Soviet television, was alive and “the r situation is now stable.’’ Until Novikov collapsed, Chazov and Lown had been fending off ag gressive questioning of the Soviet physician on human rights and other issues. Human rights activists had been demonstrating in Oslo against Cha zov. In 1973 Chazov was among 40 Soviet scientists who signed a letter that accused dissident Andrei Saklta- rov of becoming “a tool of hostile propaganda against the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. Sakharov, winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize, has been banished to the closed city of Gorky since 1960. The heart attack ended the ques tioning abruptly. Chazov and Lown threw off their lackeu and joined the effort to save Novikov. of the as its Canada's post office answers Santa letters MONTREAL — Santa Claus got more than half a million let ters last year from children all over the world, delivered in care of the Canadian post office. Santa can expect even more mail this year. But every one of those children — so long as there’s a return address — gets a reply from the jolly old elf, with an assist from several thousand Canada Post employees who vol unteer as Santa's helpers. Cheryl Ann wrote from Trin idad, for instance, to say, ”1 have never written to you before and I’m scared. I’ve seen pictures of you in your red suit in your sledge drawn by reindeers.” She wanted a doll. "Ho! Ho! Ho! What a pleasant surprise to find your very special letter in the big bundle of mail I received from the post office to day,” Santa wrote.back to Cheryl Ann. 'JL Canada's Santa project began 13 years ago when two postal .workers noticed a handful of let ters to Santa Claus headecf for the dead letter office. They decided to answer them. Slowly, the program spread na tionwide and Canada Post as- an official address, inchid- code conforming to the Canadian system of alternat ing letters and numbers, but rem iniscent of Santa’s laugh. The address b: Santa Claus. North Pole. Canada. HOH OHO. Canadian territory stops some distance short of the pole — but mail from 28 countries as far away as Kenya, Vietnam and Uruguay found its way last year to Santa via Canada. For the first time this year, all Canadian embassies and consul ates around the world were asked to spread the word, so even more foreign mail b expected. To cope with the crush of mail, standard replies have been printed in French and Engtbh, out some letters pose special problems. Federal government transla tors help with letters received in Polish, Chinese and, so far, about half a dozen other languages. The Canadian National Insti tute for the Blind responds to let ters in Braille. Then there are the sad letters, for which "Ho! Ho! Ho!" would be a tactless response. “A child might write that he has not- seen nb father bi > 10 years, and he doesn’t want any presenu, he just wants hb fa ther” Ghblaine Marsot, manager of the Post Office House in Mon treal, said. Those letters are answered by Dr. Albert Plante, head of psy chiatry at Montreal’s Sainte-jus- tine Hospital. The vast minority of the mail, however, brims with Christmas cheer, expressed in a child s un mistakable style. U.N. condemns terrorist acts UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations dosed ranks Mon day on one of its most divisive issues and unanimously adopted a land mark resolution condemning all acts of terrorism as criminal. U.S. Ambassador Vernon Walters haded the action as ”a symbol of new tunes.” "Every country has felt the in its flesh.” Walters told reporters, refer- nng to the recent resurgence of po litically motivated hijackings, kid nappings. killings and terrorist bombings The resolution was a dear com promise to overcome more than a decade of EaSt-West and North- South wrangling over the definition of terrorism. Cuba, the sole dissenter when the Assembly’s legal committee^ adopted the resolution 118-1 on Friday, shifted ks position and joined the consensus at Monday's plenary meeting. They are co-presidents physicians’ group, as wel founders, and will receive the Peace Prize on hs behalf Tuesday. The organization claims to rep resent more than 135.000 doctors in 41 countries. Earlier, Chazov told a reporter who pressed him about the criticism of Sakharov in 1973: "I did not ex pect questions addressed to me to start with this topic.” ; He parried questions about the at tack on Sakharov by saying he had been invited to Oslo only a rep resentative of our movement.” Nobel Prizes in medicine, chemb- try, physics, economics and litera ture will be awarded Tuesday in Stockholm. Sweden. Sakharov appears on television Associated Press FRANKFURT, West Germany— West German television showed film Monday of Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov trudging along a street in the closed city of Gorky, carrying two heavy suitcases to a railroad sta tion. The Hamburg newspaper Bild, which provided the Film, said it “ob- viously'’ was shot with a hidden cam era and was part of a Kremlin cam paign to reout reports that the Sakharov, 64, has been in poor health. Bild said the sequence with the suitcases was taken by a hidden cam era Nov. 26 as Sakharov’s wife, Ye lena Bonner, was boarding a train that would take her from Gorky to Moscow to begin a trip abroad for medical treatment. Spokesmen for the newspaper would not reveal the source of the 23-minute film beyond saying it was "leaked" to Bild in Mos cow. ^ Mrs. Bonner now b in the United States. Her son-in-law, Efram Yap- kelevich, said of the Soviet authori ties Monday in Newton, Mass.: “The reason they released (the film) was to show us that Sakharov b fine and to counter what Yelena Bonner might have said about hb condition. We hope we will be able to learn more about the actual situation after talk ing to him on the phone, but I'm get ting sick and lined of these KGB home movies.” Sakharov was exiled to Gorky five years ago and Mrs. Bonner. 62. was confined to the city early last year. He has been reported to be ill. suf fering from the effects of a hunger strike he undertook to pressure So viet authorities to give hb wife an exit vba so she could seek treatment in the West for eye and heart condi tions.
