Tar and Feathering Crackdown Urged in Ireland
Belfast authorities urged a crackdown on IRA vigilantes who tarred and feathered four young men for petty crimes against Catholics over the weekend. Witnesses feared reprisals as tarred victims were paraded with placards and a former British soldier was also targeted. Police noted few witnesses would talk while IRA supporters warned harsher action against criminals.

Parade Sponsors Probe Violence Across Downtown
Los Angeles protesters from the National Chicano Moratorium Committee planned an investigation into how violence escalated during their march after a peaceful rally. Police arrested 36 people, mostly for malicious mischief and failing to disperse, as windows were broken and a store was vandalized along Broadway. One man, Jesus Rodriguez, 23, was jailed after a brick was thrown at officers. A separate complaint was filed by Ray Andrade of Justicia against several police and civil-clothes officers, who Andrade says beat him during Saturday’s events.

Laird Predicts Vietnam Pullout Will Meet Goal
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird said U S troop reductions in Vietnam could meet or beat the May 1 target as Allied and American officials reported a heartening Vietnam situation. In Cambodia, operations and transport routes were being pushed amid heavy fighting and Cambodian Prime Minister Lon Nol traveled to coordinate the clearing effort. Laird stressed a shift to South Vietnamese control, with remaining U S units acting as security forces rather than combat troops. Echoes of the visit appeared on Hanoi and Moscow broadcasts. Separately, jazz star Ernie Caceres died after a long illness.
