OSLO, Norway — The co-found
ers of the doctors’ organization that
woo this year’s Nobel Peace Prize
in emergency treatment to
i a Soviet kmmalist who suffered
a heart attack at their news confer
ence Monday.
“You have witnessed a tragic
event,” Dr. Yevgeny Chazov of me
Soviet Union told reporters after
more than half an hour of heart
massage and other rescue efforts on
the floor of a hotel conference room.
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.

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.
