Artist broadcasts attack on Soviet interference
By United Press International
LONDON — Moscow's top experimental theater director came out of hiding yesterday with the help of British officials to broadcast an interview with him in his interference in art but denied that he planned to defect to the West
"I do not want to defect," said Yuri Lyubimov, 65. "I want to work in Moscow."
Lyubimov, living at a secret London address, met with Soviet embassy officials and expressed his frustration over Moscow's curbs on his artistic expression in a BBC British service broadcast to Moscow.
He has been avoiding Soviet officials since he said he was threatened by a member of the Soviet embassy staff last week.
HE SAID THAT THE threat occurred a day after the Times of London published his outspoken call to Soviet culture ministry officials.
Lyubimov said that he and British officials met with an official of the Soviet embassy last week at the theater where his production of "Crime and Punishment" was drawing full houses.
"Very well, the crime has been committed. The punishment must follow, the Soviet official was told that Yelizovich Lyubimov refused to meet privately."
Although theater sources and Scotland Yard ridiculed accounts that Lyubimov was under guard against possible murder or kidnap by the KGB, the director said that it "goes without value" that he
regarded the embassy official's remark as a threat.
The Foreign Office said that Lyubimin — whose last three Moscow productions were banned authorities — had sought its help.
In the original *Times article* that caused the furor, Lyubimov said, "I cannot allow myself to be trampled under an electric shock, and are shut down. I cannot accept this."
A HOME OFFICE official said that Lyubimov was granted a one-month extension of his visa, to which Lyubimov has not asked for asylum.
"I am 65 years old and I simply don't have the time to wait for these government officials to arrive at an understanding of culture.
"Most recently I feel that their decisions do not contribute to the cultural prestige of my country."
A Communist Party member for 30 years, he has been allowed to travel abroad regularly to direct productions. He submitted his resumption to the aka director before he came to London, but no action has been taken on it.
IN RUSSIA, Lyubimov is famous among a small coterie, controversial in his dealings with the authorities but not in the top rank of important artists. The last three were tried to mount all were banned
With his wife Katalina and 4-year-old son Petya, he has been in Britain for two months directing his hallucinatory version of Dosse Rushtic Russian novel "Crime and Punishment" at the Lyric Theater.

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIPE
A "conscious and screaming" 71-year-old Illinois woman recently was rescued by a passer-by from her own 1976 Ford LTD which was repeatedly running over her after slipping into reverse and going around in circles at nearly 20 miles per hour. Although Ford's transmission slipping problem is well-known—for instance, I, a marginal layman, wrote about it in the November 13, 1981 and August 4, 1983 issues of the Journal-World—a quaking governmental entity has not required the Ford Motor Company to recall the estimated ten million cars in need of inspection. Even the 232 deaths for which this malfunctioning mechanism has been responsible have not bestirred the bureaucratic behemoth.
Henry Ford once said, "History is more or less bunk." Obviously his counterparts in today's Ford Motor Company hierarchy are continuing to persuade some important public servants that this proposition still holds water.

Study says sterilization use beats the pill
NEW YORK — For the first time, male and female sterilization has pushed the contraceptive pill out of first place. In 2013, United States, a report said yesterday.
Sterilization is the most common choice among couples who have completed their families, the report said. It noted that the 11.6 million sterilizations among such couples included 4.9 million vasectomies.
The survey was conducted by Market Facts, a research firm, and financed by a foundation that Forrest said she was not at liberty to name. Questionnaires were mailed to 6,500 married women and 3,500 unmarried. Seventy-two percent of the married and 50 percent of the unmarried responded.
In contrast, the pill is used by about 10 million American women, the report
Support for the pill has been volatile over the past decade, in response to reports linking its use to strokes and other side effects.
It estimated that more than 3 million married and unmarried women aged 18 to 44 used no birth control at all.
AMONG OTHER FINDINGS, the
and one-third of married women said
A SURVEY OF married couples in 1965 showed 7.5 percent depending on sterilization, husband or wife, and 15.3 percent on the pill. A study done for the federal government in 1973 showed that 16.4 percent of married couples depended on sterilization and 25.1 percent on the pill.
The study, "What U.S. Women Think and Do About Contraception," was written by Jacqueline Darroch Forrest and Stanley K. Henshaw and published "Family Planning Perspectives" journal of the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
they would consider abortion if they had an unintended pregnancy.
Forrest is director of research and Henshaw is senior research associate at the Institute, an affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Of other birth control methods, the study said the condom was third in popularity, with about 4.5 million users, followed by the IUD. 2.3 million; the

diaphragm, 1.9 million, and vaginal spermicides, 1.5 million.
Poor women rely on sterilization to a greater extent than more affluent ones of the same age and marital status. Black women are more likely than white to use the pill, but less likely to be protected by sterilization, the report said.
Dissatisfaction with the pill as well as simplification of sterilization operations helped make sterilization the most popular method, the report said.
Afghan rebels ambush drunken Soviet tank crew
By United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — Moslem rebels ambushed a seven-man Soviet tank crew on a drunken joy ride earlier this month in the western Afghan city of Herat, destroying the tank and killing six Western diplomats said yesterday.
The attack came after Afghan troops battled Moslem rebels just north of Kabul during an offensive that inflicted casualties on both sides, the diplomats said.
In a second ambush reflecting deteriorating security in the western city, guerrillas destroyed a Soviet armored personnel carrier and captured its seven-man crew, the diplomats said.
The Western diplomats, who declined to be identified, said Soviet and Afghan government forces suffered 50 casualties and rebels 25 during the offensive in the fertile Shomali valley, just north of Kabul.
They did not specify the number killed or injured during the clashes in the Shomali area, a frequent target of

THE AMBUSH IN Herat, the third largest Afghan city, occurred early this month when Soviet forces failed to keep a joy-riding tank crew from leaving the secure eastern sector of the dusty plains city, the diplomats said.
When the crew entered the city's western sector, rebels controlling the area destroyed the tank and killed its drunken occupants, the diplomats said.
The second ambush in Herat was reported to have occurred Sept. 6. The rebels destroyed a BTR 60-type armored personnel carrier and the rebels kidnapped its seven occupants, the diplomats said. The Khwajaqala neighborhood was bombed in retaliation.
