WEIGHING DIFFERENCES Thant said recently he was weighing personal, official and |political reasons before decid- jing. A listener later reported Thant was "worried about three things"--the lack of a sure way to finance peacekeeping activi- ties, the failures of the develop- ment decade of the 1960s and the war in Viet Nam.

Burma's UN ambassador for | Smugglers Pit Wits 722 eee Against Rail Police NEW DELHI (Reuters)-- Food smugglers stuff rice in the seats, ventilators and even fuse- boxes of Calcutta's electric trains In their all-out hattle of wits against the railway police. By law the transport of rice into the city from the rich farming areas of West Bengal is forbidden. The state govern- ment has a monopoly to procure and distribute grain. But hundreds of men and women from the huge pool of Calcutta's unemployed have formed smuggling syndicates operating over the 100-mile rail- way leading through the state's main rice-growing areas. They buy the grain cheaply in the countryside and sell it at high black-market prices to rich city-dwellers, who find that the strict food rationing in Cal- cutta cramps their style of liv-| g. | Authorities launched a frontal attack against the smugglers. It failed because the public supported the smugglers against the - police. Commuters joined in the fray at railway stations, pelting po- lice with stones, brickbats; and iron rods while the smugglers escaped. In one of the biggest clashes 40 policemen were injured. Railway authorities also car-| ried out an intensive check of tickets. This hit the smugglers, who always travel without tickets their profit. margins would be drastically reduced if they paid their fares. In three days, more than 7,000 were arrested and made to pay some 4,000 rupees (about $540) in fines and fares. Restrictions on the movement of food in West Bengal is in- tended to suppress free trade in grain and enable the authori- ties to raise a compulsory levy of rice from the farmers.
