June 17 Deadline Set IS TO 'BUG' CONG FORCES WASHINGTON (Reuters)-- Screaming bedbugs could one day be added to the huge American 'weapons arsenal for the Viet Nam war, offi- cials said Monday. Their task would not be to sting the Viet Cong guerrillas into surrender, but to "sniff them out'. This is one of the many methods under study to ena- ble American soldiers to de- tect Viet Cong ambushes. The experiment rests on the bedbug's lust for human UN 28, One independent and blood, and its habit to let out a "yowl" of excitement once three vacancies made up the rest of the 95 seats the asseni- bly then had. Meanwhile, official counts | which started Monday continued today in all the province's con-| stituencies.

Military scientists now are working on methods to am- | plify the bug's cry, so that it becomes audible to human ears. Once this is achieved, the bug can be carried by scout preceding American columns on jungle patrol and warn of any hidden guerrillas it smells. A device as simple as a pill bottle would be enough to pre- vent them from wrongly giv- ing an alarm about their own keepers, the officials said. The bug would be completely screened off from them but a small opening in front would let in the smell of anyone else, The "battle bug' used in the experiments is a particu- larly big and noisy specimen that can grow to the size of a thumbnail, the officials said. Whether it will ever see combat depends on many fac- tors, particularly on progress made in research of other ambushing-detecting devices. There also was the problem of caring for the bugs and keeping them both healthy and hungry. : However, one official said, "in a war like Viet Nam, ev- ery method to track down the enemy. is worth exploring." | OTTAWA (CP) -- A June 17 noon-hour strike deadline for St. |Lawrence Seaway workers in| Canada was set today following an overwhelming vote by work- ers to walk off their jobs to back demands for wage parity with their U.S. counterparts. Announcement of the date by W. J. Smith, president of the Canadian Brotherhood of Rail- way, Transport and General Workers (CLC), came the day after a tally of votes from the union's seven seaway locals showed 1,159 in favor of strike action and only 16 against. Mr. Smith said in a statément he has authorized a 'peaceful withdrawal" of services and said the action was forced by | the "total lack of a responsible japproach" by the seaway au- thority to the union demands. | Date for the strike was s days away to give shipping companies enough time to pre- pare for a closing of the sea- |way or for a federal mediator (to try to bring about a settle- Cao Ky Bars Militant | Buddhists From Junta SAIGON (AP) -- New rum-| blings of Buddhist opposition echoed across South Viet Nam's northern provinces today after Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's mili- tary regime excluded militant!
