Headquarters, today, East-West relations i ere mostly sweet and light, a welcome for those two Soviet co mo11auts and approval of the joint resolution banning bombs from orbit - an action which the Soviet delegate called a,i important step toward easing international tension. But 011tside Berlin, the Soviets were at it again - holding up a British military convoy this time. Twenty-eight soldiers in nine vehicles stopped for nine hottrs while Soviet officers demanded that the) ' dismount for a head count. The same demands made of an American convoy last week. American officials who called that incident a ",nisaalc11lation" said today's must have been deliberately engineered in Moscow.

JNTRODUC TION TO TAPE Ton i g Ii t L owe l l Th om as -,, e fl e c ls on h is rec e n t flight ot er Africa. Lowell . . . . . ORYX HELLO DICK, GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: Whenever I fly over Africa - I'm sure most people are the same way· I think about the big game 1n the · roreats below and I wonder what really can be done to save them. Other parts or the world have a similar problem. Alaska does. And, in Asia to~. Especially 1n Arabia. In Arabia one or the most beautirlll or all ltling creatures 1a nearly extinct. It looks like an antelope. Face long - marked by black patches on the nose, forehead and Jowls. Eyes large and dreamy and aenaitive. 'l'he neck - thicker than that or an antelope. Horns, glorious. Some two feet long with a gentle curve back toward the shoulders. Ita the Arabian Oryx. A native of the desert - the Ruba•al•Khali, a desert known to the Arabs as The Empty Quarter, and only penetrated recently. The oryx uaed to roam the Empty Quarter, the Rub- al-Kha11, 1n large herds. But, c1v111zat1on recently caught ORYX - 2 - up with the oryx. Hunters out ror hides and horns. By Nineteen S1xty One, the oryx raced extinction. And then the Fauna Preservation Soc1ety · or London decided to do some- thing about 1 t • 'l'he suggestion was made - transport a tew of these beautiful creatures to some tar off safe place on another continent. Let them breed 1n surroundings similar to their own desert in Arabia. Somewhere safe from high-powered rifles or hunters and a°'on. 'l'he naturalists - they chose a spot near Phoenix, Arizona. And they captured three animals 1n the desert. And they transported them to Phoenix to the Maytag Zoo. A fourth brought 1n from the London Zoological Society. And they have round the warm desert atmosphere in Arizona very much to the liking of the oryx. And, the hope is that they will soon be parents. And that they'll start producing a herd. An d w hat then? Some of them will bet : ransported back to Arabia, 1n the ORYX - :5 hope that the people there will allow them to survive. But, why not turn them loose 1n our own desert around Phoenix? Roaming the Arizona desert instead or Arabia's E m pty Quarter. Th• Arabian Oryx. Come to think or it, why wouldn't this be a good idea tor other animals? Take them to picturesque parts or the w~rld where they have never been seen on other contlnents and atart new herds.
