THE ASSASSINATIONS led President Jaffar of Numaiti to crack down on Papua New Guinea.
Numarii said he had ordered a roundup of all Sudanese suspected of working with rebels and terrorists of the kind who assassinated the Saud Arab Embassy here last week.
The U.S. spokesman said the prisoner of war subcommission of the central four-party Joint Military Commission was meeting again Thursday "to deal with future releases of POW'S," presumably American as well as Vietnamese.
The government-controlled newspaper *Al Sahafa* reported that five Sudanese men already had been arrested on charges of conspiring with the Palestinian guerrilla organization, Al Fatah, against the security forces. A sixth is being hunted, the paper added.
Numairi said the assault was part of "an effort to destroy Sudan."

The ceremony was brief. The minister said the prayer of St. Francis, "Lord make me an instrument of thy peace." A 19-gun rifle played the playing of the rhythm, America, followed.
At the church there was no sermon and no etalogy—only music, prayer and the reading of scripture.
"Our main focus point in the next couple of days," the spokesman added, "is going to be with getting our forces down to 25 percent of what they were at the time of the cease-fire. We are now at the lowest level since 1962.
"We hope to do that by the end of the week, if all goes well, if the flying weather is good. Then on that basis we would have withdrawn 75 per cent of our forces at the time of the cease-fire and set for further releases of American POW's."

One goal of the Buckley-Archer campaign, Shortlidge said, is to stimulate intense competition. To encourage more students to run for student government, Buckley and Archer purposely refused to run with a coalition.
Shortlidge said that although there was no race for student body president, keen competition existed for all other senate candidates. He graduate School and the School of Fine Arts.
Buckley and Archer said that because they formed the only presidential ticket, they thought it would be unfair if they chose a coalition to run with them.

One presidential candidate is not going to simulate voter interest in the way a normal election works.
However, Shortlied said he thought that if there was a heated competition for senate seats and a hard campaign, many students would turn out to vote on March 14 and 15.
"Because no serious write-in threat has materialized, I would be pleased to see Mert receive 80 per cent of all votes in the election," Shortlake said.
