Jets LONDON (Reuters) -- Me- dina Rojas, leader of the rebels who commandeered the Vene- melan freighter Anzoategui at sea last month, said in an in- terview in the Soviet Commu- nist party newspaper Pravda today that the ship was "'bom- barded" by United States planes. The interview, quoted by the Soviet news agency Tass, was contained in a dispatch by a Pravda correspondent from Nova Friburgo, a mountain re- sort near Rio de Janeiro to which the nine rebels were ta- ken after asking for political asylum in Brazil. Rojas described how the tan's foreign minister, Zulficar Bhutto, left Peking by air for home after signing a border agreement with China. The agreement sets out a 300- mile boundary line between the part of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan and the Sinkiang re- gion of China until final settle- ment is reached on the owner- ship of Kashmir. The agreement was immedi- ately protested by India.

The report said the mutiny was led by Col. Ziad El Hariri, identified as commander of WASHINGTON -- Yes, Maur- een, there is a shamrock. The trouble is that no one, least of all the Irish, can de- cide which plant should bear the honored name. Eight varieties of three- leaved herbs are commonly and dogmatically called the "'true'"' shamrock. Nathaniel olgan, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, tried to settle the question in 1891. He appealed to all of Ireland's 32 counties for speci- mens of the one and only sham- rock, Twenty-one counties respond- ed with four distinct species: White clover (Trifolium re- pens), small yellow hop clover (T. dubium), red clover (T. pratense), and black medic (Medicago lupulina). OTHER CONTENDERS Other strong contenders for the proud name are zig-zag clo- ver (T- medium), wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus cornicul atus), and the current facorite, yellow- flowered clover (T. minus). Botanists usually hedge by listing 'two or three of the eight as probably true shamrocks. Ten years ago, the new edition of the official "Flora of the British Isles" washed its hands of the controversy: It simply dropped shamrock as a plant designation, : Showing no favoritism, Irish growers ship several varities of shamrocks to the United States follum by any name may be a rarity this March 17.
