Hostages a362 3rd Lead 80
By JIM BARLOW
Associated Press Writer
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. (AP) - Convicts seized 11 hostages in the library
of the state penitentiary Wednesday and threatened to kill the
captives unless they were given automatic weapons, prison spokesmen
said.
One of the 11 hostages suffered a heart attack and was freed about
eight hours after the takeover began. The freed hostage, 51-year-old
Glennon Johnson, an education consultant, was reported in stable
condition at a local hospital.

Stakeout 210
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police officers massed near an apartment house
in suburban North Hollywood after residents said they saw a woman
fitting the description of Patricia Hearst Wednesday night.
''There were three separate, independent witnesses who said they
saw Miss Hearst and two black men entering an apartment,'' said
Police Lt. Dan Cook.
''We would not go to this extent if we did not think this was a
good lead,'' he added.
There was no sign that police were evacuating the building.
Between 50 and 100 officers, including members of the Special
Weapons Tactics Squad, gathered several blocks from the apartment
house.
Several plain clothes officers were seen outside the two-story
apartment building.
Miss Hearst has been sought along with two members of the terrorist
Symbionese Liberation Army, William and Emily Harris, on a variety of
federal and state charges.
The 20-year-old newspaper heiress was abudcted from her Berkeley,
Calif., apartment Feb. 4 by members of the SLA. She said later in
tape-recorded communiques that she had joined the SLA.
Six members of the SLA were killed May 17 in a fiery shootout with
authorities in Los Angeles.

Scotus-Executive Privilege bjt 490
By W. DALE NELSON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - ''It is emphatically the province and duty of the
judicial department to say what the law is,'' Chief Justice John
Marshall wrote 171 years ago.
Wednesday, ruling in the case of President Nixon and the Watergate
tapes, Chief Justice Warren E. Burger found those words handy to
express his meaning.
''It's 'emphatically the province and duty' of this court to 'say
what the law is' with respect to the claim of privilege presented in
this case,'' Burger wrote for eight justices of the court.
''What the law is'' boiled down to this:
Yes, the President has a privilege to withhold confidential
communications within the executive branch from public scrutiny.
No, that privilege is not absolute but is subject to review by the
courts.
It was the first time in the nearly 185-year history of the court
that it had been confronted with a claim such as the one advanced by
Nixon: that only the President can decide whether he should provide
evidence wanted for a criminal trial.
In answering the question, the court said it agrees with Nixon that
it is important for conversations between high government officials
and their advisers to be confidential.
''Human experience teaches that those who expect public
dissemination of their remarks may well temper candor with a concern
for appearances,'' wrote Burger.
Then the court turned to the specific case at hand, in which Nixon
sought to resist an order to produce records of White House
conversations wanted as potential evidence in the Watergate cover-up
trial.
The court has ruled in the past that secret military and diplomatic
information may be shielded from examination in the courts. But in
the Watergate tapes, it said, national security is not involved.
Thus, it said, the President's claim rests on ''no more than a
generalized claim of the public interest in confidentiality of
nonmilitary and nondiplomatic discussions.''
That is not enough, Burger wrote.
''We must weigh the importance of the general privilege of
confidentiality of presidential communications in performance of his
responsibilities against the inroads of such a privilege on the fair
administration of criminal justice.''
Weighing this ''confrontation with other values,'' the court
decided in favor of ''the two-fold aim of criminal justice ... that
guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer.''
In 1952, rejecting the late President Harry S. Truman's claim of
power to seize struck steel mills in wartime, the court said that
''the founders of this nation entrusted the lawmaking power to the
Congress alone in both good and bad times.''
In Wednesday's decision, the court added to this that the powers
vested in the judicial branch ''can no more be shared with te
executive branch than the chief executive, for example, can share
with the judiciary the veto power.''

Busing-Congress Bjt 290
By JIM LUTHER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - A Senate-approved compromise that would limit
busing for school desegregation faces a tough fight in the House,
which is insisting on stronger curbs.
''We will stand firm,'' Rep. Joe D. Waggoner, D-La., a leader of
busing opponents, said Wednesday after the Senate agreed, 81 to 15,
to accept the compromise written into a $25.2-billion education bill.
The legislation is expected to be brought up in the House early
next week. At that time, Waggoner will seek to have the bill sent
back to conference with the Senate with instructions to insist on the
House antibusing language.
On Monday, the House by a 261-122 vote reaffirmed its position that
no pupil should be bused beyond the second-closest school to his
home.
The compromise accepted by the Senate would allow busing past the
second-closest school if a court considers it necessary to protect
the rights of minority children.
The 81-15 vote did not reflect the Senate's true feeling on busing.
Only 15 minutes before that vote, senators rejected, 55-42, an
attempt to send the bill back to conference with instructions to
accept the House provisions.
One apparent reason for the House delay on consideration of the
compromise is to see how the Supreme Court rules today in a key
busing case. At issue is a Detroit case on whether a court may order
busing across school district lines to promote desegregation.
Although President Nixon was strongly opposed to the original
Senate bill, whose busing curbs were strengthened in the compromise,
he has not spoken publicly about the compromise.
But if he should veto the bill, 146 House members have promised to
support him. Thas 95ers to ensure the vetoed bill could

Hearst a017 3rd Lead No Pickup 230 up
By STEVE MONTIEL
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police raided an apartment Wednesday night after
a hoaxter tricked police into believing she was fugitive newspaper
heiress Patricia Hearst.
Police Lt. Dan Cook described the incident as ''a practice in
futility. We have no evidence that Miss Hearst or any SLA member was

The hoax was taken so seriously that Miss Hearst's parents, Mr. and

''Because of the detailed information she gave, officers believed

The woman who telephoned police said she wanted to give herself up
to ''Uncle George.'' Miss Hearst's uncle, George Hearst, is publisher

The telephone call came after more than 100 officers surrounded the
two-story apartment building in suburban North Hollywood.
Officers moved in after three persons called and said a woman
fitting Miss Hearst's description entered the building with two black
men, one carrying a rifle.
Officers found the apartment vacant except for two rifles and a
cat. Police said they had no idea who the three persons might have
been or where they might have gone.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court rules today on what may be the
most sweeping school integration plan ever ordered in the United
States, a massive busing program for a three-county area around
Detroit.
Clerk Michael Rodak Jr. said the court was expected to rule on the
Detroit case before adjourning until Oct. 7.
U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Roth of Detroit, who died two weeks
ago, in 1972 approved the plan for busing across school district
lines.
It was appealed by Michigan officials and by suburban school
districts, but not by the Detroit district, which is about 64 per
cent black.
Civil rights leaders said the outcome could profoundly affect the
future of schools in Northern cities, which have become segregated
although no law ever decreed separation of the races.
Roth said in his decision:
''Governmental actions and inactions at all levels, federal, state
and local, have combined with those of private organizations and
(real estate) brokerage firms to establish and maintai the pattern
of residential segregation throughout the Detroit metropolitan
area.''
He said the Detroit school board had regularly bused black students
''past or away from closer white schools with space.''
''The board has created and altered attendance zones, maintained
and altered grade structures, and created and altered feeder school
patterns in a manner which has had the natural, probable and actual
effect of continuing black and white pupils in racially segregated
schools,'' Roth said.
State attorneys said it had not been shown that school officials or
any state agency attempted to establish or change population patterns
to affect racial balance.
Roth's decision was upheld by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals
in Cincinnati.
The Nixon administration urged the Supreme Court to reverse its
decision, saying not enough evidence had been presented to show that
a desegregation plan crossing school district lines was necessary.
The case began Aug. 16, 1970, when Ronald Bradley and other black
pupils in Detroit sued Michigan Gov. William G. Milliken and other
state and school officials, claiming they had been denied a quality
education.
The controversy aroused by the decision spilled over into Congress,
where restrictions on cross-district busing now are pending as part
of a $25-billion school bill.
The compromise version of the measure, saying children cannot be
bused beyond the next-to-the-nearest school unless it is shown to be
necessary to protect their constitutional rights, was approved by the
Senate Wednesday and sent to the House.

Nixon-Court Bjt 470 Two Takes 940
Wirephoto SCM1
By FRANK CORMIER
Associated Press Writer
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) - Pledging to comply with the Supreme
Court's Watergate tapes ruling ''in all respects,'' a disappointed
President Nixon has ended weeks of uncertainty with the declaration,
''I respect and accept the court's decision.''
Some eight hours after the court announced on Wednesday its 8-0
decision that Nixon must surrender 64 additional tapes and documents,
the President issued a statement of acceptance through his chief
Watergate defense lawyer, James D. St. Clair.
Drafted after lengthy conferences at Nixon's oceanside home here,
the statement ended suspense heightened by weeks of refusal by
presidential aides to say whether he would obey an adverse court
ruling.
''While I am disappointed in the result, I respect and accept the
court's decision, and I have instructed Mr. St. Clair to take
whatever measures are necessary to comply with that decision in all
respects,'' the President said.
Nixon had challenged in the courts a subpoena for the tapes and
documents from special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski, who said
they were needed for the cover-up trial of six former White House and
campaign aides, scheduled for Sept. 9. The defendants include H.R.
Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman and John N. Mitchell.
Weeks may yet pass before the tapes and documents are made
available to Jaworski. They must be screened for relevance by U.S.
Disctrict Court Judge John J. Sirica.
Appearing before newsmen and television cameras at the White House
press center in nearby Laguna Beach on Wednesday afternoon, St. Clair
spoke of ''the time-consuming process of reviewing the tapes subject
to the subpoena and the preparation of the index and analysis
required. . . .'' He said the work ''will begin forthwith.''
In the past, tapes provided to Jaworski have been supplied to the
House Judiciary Committee for its impeachment inquiry. It was not
immediately known whether the latest subpoenaed material would ever
figure in congressional consideration of impeachment.
Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler was asked how much
time would be needed to process the tapes.
''There's really no way tosay,'' h replied.
Ziegler, responeingto questions, said possible defiance of the
court was not an option Nixon and St. Clair discussed Wednesday. He
suggested that defiance never had been given serious consideration in
the past, either.
Ziegler also said Nixon resisted surrendering the subpoenaed
material only on grounds of principle and not because he feared they
might contain incriminating material.
Nixon said in his statement that he had refused to comply with
Jaworski's subpoena because of ''my strong desire to protect the
principle of presidential confidentiality in a system of separation
of powers.''

But the Supreme Court said the need for the tapes and documents in
the cover-up trial took precedence over any generalized claim of
confidentiality.
Nixon sought to picture his legal setback in the best light,
saying, ''I was gratified . . . to note that the court reaffirmed
both the validity and the importance of the principle of executive
privilege - the principle I had sought to maintain. By complying
fully with the court's ruling in this case, I hope and trust that I
will contribute to strengthening rather than weakening this principle
for the future - so that this will prove to be not the precedent that
destroyed the principle, but the action that preserved it.''
Nixon said ''it will be essential that the special circumstances of
this case not be permitted to cloud the rights of presidents to
maintain the basic confidentiality without which this office cannot
function.''
More than a half hour passed between issuance of the court opinion
in Washington and notification to Nixon. The President got the word
by telephone from White House Chief of Staff Alexander M. Haig Jr.,
who had seen the first bulletins on news agency teletypes at the
Western White House offices. Haig checked with Washington before
calling Nixon, who was in the upstairs study of his neighboring home.
While spokesmen fended off questions from reporters, Nixon and St.
Clair, joined at times by Haig and Ziegler, began marathon sessions
to decide on the President's response.
In midmorning a copy of the court opinion reached Nixon over an
electronic telecopier system.
Ziegler said St. Clair's Washington office received 40 minutes'
advance notice that the court would rule, but was not told what the
decision would be.
As Nixon considered his response, he canceled a scheduled
conference on housing problems with Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development James T. Lynn.
Asked if the decision had caught Nixon by surprise, Ziegler
replied, ''I didn't detect an attitude of surprise'' but rather one
of disappointment.
He said the President had read advance speculation in the news
media that the ruling would go against him.
After Nixon's statement accepting the verdict was prepared, Ziegler
said White House officials gave advance notice of its content to Vice
President Gerald R. Ford and Republican congressional leaders.
Ziegler declined to take a position on whether the Judiciary
Committee shoulddelay consideration of impeachment until it can seek
the subpoenaed tapes. However, he restated the administration view
that the committee members ''should move as swiftly as possible with
their deliberations.''
He said he did not believe Nixon watched any of the televised first
session of committee debate on impeachment Wednesday night.

St. Clair Text 300
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Here is the text of presidential lawyer
James D. St. Clair's statement Wednesday on the Supreme Court
decision ordering President Nixon to turn over Watergate tapes.
I have reviewed the decision of the Supreme Court with the
President. He has given me this sttement, which he has asked me to
read to you. I quote:
''My challenge in the courts to the subpoena of the special
prosecutor was based on the belief that it was unconstitutionally
issued, and on my strong desire to protect the principle of
presidential confidentiality in a system of separation of powers.
''While I am of course disappointed in the result, I respect and
accept the court's decision, and I have instructed Mr. St. Clair to
take whatever measures are necessary to comply with that decision in
all respects.
''For the future, it will be essential that the special
circumstances of this case not be permitted to cloud the rights of
presidents to maintain the basic confidentiality without which this
office cannot function. I was gratified, therefore, to note that the
court reaffirmed both the validity and the importance of the
principle of executive privilege - the principle I had sought to
maintain. By complying fully with the court's ruling in this case, I
hope and trust that I will contribute to strengthening rather than
weakening this principle for the future - so that this will prove to
be not the precedent that destroyed the principle, but the action
that preserved it.''
As we all know, the President has always been a firm believer in
the rule of law. He intends his decision to comply fully with the
court's ruling as an action in furtherance of that belief.
In accordance with his instructions, the time-consuming process of
reviewing the tapes subject to the subpoena and the preparation of
the index and analysis required by Judge Sirica's order will begin
forthwith.

NEW YORK (AP) - Well, it seemed a good idea. But aside from a phony
bomb scare, the historic, live national TV view of the House
Judiciary Committee's impeachment debate appeared a dull midsummer
night's dream.
The start Wednesday of the long-awaited debate, televised by ABC
and the Public Broadcasting Service, generally had all the drama of a
talk on the newt. CBS-TV covers it live today and NBC has it Friday.
Profuse with lengthy congressional pleasantries, history lessons
and now-familiar arguments, the prime-time opening round was a far
cry from the fascinating Senate Watergate hearings seen last year on
national TV. But those proceedings were investigative while these are
argumentative.
ABC, whose coverage was intelligently anchored by Howard K. Smith
and Harry Reasoner, could have let the two comment a bit during the
longer stretches of rhetoric. But it chose not to, ABC says.
A pity. It resulted in an unrelieved view-save for the bomb
scare-of 11 congressmen, each firing away, one by one, amid sporadic
reaction shots of the packed committee room. And there wasn't much
reaction. When the bomb threat occurred one hour and six minutes into
the three-hour proceedings, PBS reporter Carolyn Lewis had the news
first; ABC's Sam Donaldson and Frank Reynolds had it about 30 seconds
later.
The committee room was cleared for 47 minutes. Both PBS and ABC
used the delay to analyze the day's impeachment events and buttonhole
committee members as they strolled by.
ABC's corridor committee nabbed four Republicans, two Democrats,
and a stray presidential defense lawyer and inquired as to their
views on both the debate and the bomb threat.
Of the latter, Rep. charles Wiggins, R-Calif., sighed: ''These are
things we can't do anything about. This is a relax-and-enjoy-it
situation.''
Miss Lewis confined her queries to impeachment matters.
By some coincidence-I doubt the fall elections had anything to do
with it-the three congressmen who made themselves available for her
questions also managed to show up on ABC during the bomb-scare
recess.
When committee chairman Peter W. Rodino Jr., D-N.J., finally
pounded the gavel and ended the recess at about 9:37 p.m. EDT, TV
viewers might have noticed some committee seats still were vacant.
Howard K. Smith, normally an easy-going soul, groused about the
laggards holding up resumption of debate. He expressed what the
committee, unaccustomed to television's pace, may quickly realize.
''I hate to sound irreverent, but they could use a good television
director to get things going...I think they're going to lose a lot of
the audience for their hearing if they proceed in this manner,'' he
said.

NEW YORK (AP) - The failure of the administration to develop an
effective program against inflation has so demoralized Americans that
it could plunge the nation into a deep depression, a consumer
pollster said today.
Albert Sindlinger, whose research is widely circulated in the White
House, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and Congress, said public
nervousness has reached the point where growing numbers fear bank
failuresystration continues to say the economy is
recovering, Sindlinger said in an interview, the public, worried
about its falling buying power and rumors of layoffs, believes the
opposite.
Daily telephone interviews with householders throughout the country
show, he said, that millions fear that government doesn't understand
the seriousness of inflation and is content to talk it away.
Specifically cited by those polled, he said, was the comment by
Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, that the
American people themselves are to blame for inflation because they
have declined to accept higher taxes.
Based on past experience, Sindlinger maintains, correlations can be
made between levels of confidence and future economic conditions.
So alarmed did he become over what he said was a precipitous drop
in the public's confidence about future buying power, jobs, the
stability of banks and the economy in general, that he personally
pleaded his case at the White House.
As a result, a White House representative visited Sindlinger &
Co.'s Swarthmore, Pa., office to monitor the responses coming in on
the firm's
attrryof elephones.
Following that meeting, he visited Arthur F. Burns, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board; William E. Simon, Treasury secretary; Paul W.
McCracken, former chief economic adviser; Vice President Gerald R.
Ford, and influential members of Congress.
His campaign reached a climax July 13 at Camp David, Md., where he
said he spoke with various cabinet undersecretaries in meetings that
extended into Sunday morning. Many shared his fears, he said.
While some congressmen also share his views, Sindlinger said, he
believes certain advisers around the President would rather believe
that the worst is behind us rather than face the facts.
Since then, the Senate voted for a conference on inflation among
business, labor, congressional, Federal Reserve and administration
representatives.

Sindlinger's surveys are conducted independently and sold to
clients, many of them businessmen, for use in measuring and
forecasting attitudes that might have an effect on sales or general
economic conditions.
Random telephone calls are made seven days a week to solicit
consumer views on a variety of subjects. The results are analyzed by
electronic computer and projections made.
Since a special 20-minute segment of questioning was added
recently, Sindlinger said, ''nobody hangs up.''
''Consumers talk and talk and talk about their frustrations, their
fears over their financial future, how their savin,s are being lost
by inflation.
''People are just afraid. They are crying for leadership - for
somebody just to do something.'' And he added, ''they are beginning
to focus their wrath on Congres
9z July 17 report that Sindlinger said was circulated to
administration clients, he stated:
''Three weeks ago 12 million more consumers were reporting their
income up over those reporting it down. Now, only three million are
in this category.
''. . .29 million more consumers expected an income gain than
expected an income loss. Now this figure has been cut nearly in half.
. . .The expected job balance was on the plus side by nearly 6
million. Now the expected job balance has turned negative.
''. . .nearly 15 million more expected improved business over those
who expected worse business. Now this figure is cut by nearly
two-thirds.''
He said the administration has habitually stated that the worst was
behind the nation, despite being contradicted time after time by the
facts. ''The wo

CHAMPUS 480
WASHINGTON (AP) - A Florida minister says overzealous committee
investigators have bilked senators into believing the school he ran
for emotionally disturbed children was conducted like a Nazi
concentration camp.
The Rev. George E. von Hilsheimer III on Wednesday denied
repeatedly that he or his staff engaged in systematic beatings or
torture of the children, a charge he said had gained credibility by
being repeated over and over.
The Senate Permanent Investigations Subcommittee is holding
hearings on allegations of child abuse at the Rev. Mr. von
Hilsheimer's Green Valley School in Orange City, Fla. and at the
University Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The subcommittee was to take up today the allegations about the
institute in Michigan, where committee investigators reportedly found
widespread use of drugs. The investigators said punishments at the
University Center included placing boys in a basement solitary
confinement room called ''the Dungeon'' for extended periods.
At least half of the patients at both the Michigan and the Florida
institutions were covered by the Civilian Health and Medical Program
of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), which is run by the Defense
Department.
The Rev. Mr. von Hilsheimer, superintendent of Green Valley,
testified that because of what he called an unwarranted controversy
he has advised staff members still working at the school to allow the
property to be sold and to seek other employment.
However, the lay minister of the Brethrin Church acknowledged
responsibility for a series of incidents that included giving a
suicidal student an M1 rifle loaded with blank bullets and
chalenging him to use it.
''I said, 'If you want to die, go ahead and pull the trigger,'''
the Rev. Mr. von Hilsheimer told the subcommittee.
''I've used that tactic twice and the reaction was extremely
good,'' he asserted.
He testified thathe had approved the decision of a student
assembly to punish a few serious rule breakers by ordering them to
dig shallow graves and sleep in them for several nights.
''It sounds bizarre and strange but in context I think it makes
sense,'' he said in describing what he said were the therapeutic
benefits of blunt confrontations with the problems of the emotionally
disturbed.
He said he would not challenge the accuracy of General Accounting
Office figures that more than $184,000 of the $1.2 million paid the
school by the government for the support of the 113 students it
admitted who are dependents of military personnel was used
improperly.
The committee heard testimony from GAO accountants that the money
was claimed by Green Valley School even though many students were
AWOL or on long vacations or visiting an unauthorized farm camp in
New York State.

Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police raided an apartment Wednesday night after
a hoaxter tricked officers into believing she was fugitive newspaper
heiress Patricia Hearst.
''We have no evidence that Miss Hearst or any SLA member was ever
there,'' said Police Lt. Dan Cook.
But the hoax was taken so seriouslytht Miss Hearst's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Randolph A. Hearst, and her 17-year-old sister Anne flew
here from San Francisco.
Hearst, interviewed at the airport on his arrival, said he was
''very disappointed'' when told aboard the airplane that the incident
was a hoax.
''I wanted to be of help in the final end of this story if it came
here,'' he said, adding he still hopes he would see his daughter
again.
They came after a woman telephoned police, indicated she was
Patricia Hearst and said she wanted to surrender to ''Uncle George.''
Miss Hearst's cousin, George Hearst Jr., is publisher of the Los
Angeles Herald-Examiner. George Sr., her uncle, died in 1972.
''Because of the detailed information she gave, officers believed
her,'' Cook said.
The woman made the telephone call after more than 100 officers
surrounded the two-story apartment building in suburban North
Hollywood. They arrived after three persons told police a woman
fitting Miss Hearst's description entered the building with two men,
one carrying a rifle.
Officers said they found the apartment vacant except for two rifles
and a cat. Police said they had no idea who the three persons might
have been or where they might have gone.
However, Edward Cunca, 22, his wife, Karen, 19, and a friend, Chris
Garza, 20, told newsmen they were inside the apartment when police
burst in.
The three were interviewed inside the apartment the police raided.
Mrs. Cunca, a blonde, said an officer twisted her arm. Garza said
he owned the rifles police found.
The trio said they had no idea who made the call. ''It wouldn't be
a friend, it would be an enemy,'' said Cunca.
Police had no immediate comment on the trio's statements.

Impeachment Bjt 490 Up
By JOHN BECKLER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Twenty-seven House Judiciary Committee members
are awaiting their turns to debate the impeachment question, although
one Republican says a decision against President Nixon already is a
foregone conclusion.
Today's session begins at 10 a.m. EDT and will be televised by the
CBS network.
The committee opened its historic debate Wednesday night before a
nationwide television and radio audience that heard Rep. Charles W.
Sandman Jr., R-N.J., claim ''There are sufficient votes here for an
impeachment resolution.
''Everyone knows that. There is no use kidding ourselves about
it,'' he sai.n, who lined up against impeachment, was one of 11 committee
members who gave their views in a televised presentation of the
historic proceedings.
Chairman Peter W. Rodino Jr.'s schedule for the 38-member committee
calls for concluding general debate tonight and moving onto actual
consideration of articles of impeachment Friday. That schedule
suffered a slight setback last nightwhen a bomb scare forced a
47-minute delay.
The 8dee phoned to vhe Capitol switchboard, forced Rodino to
empty the packed room while police searched fruitlessly for a bomb.
Later, after Rodino had recessed the proceedings for the night and
the hearing room had almost emptied, a second bomb threat was
received. Again nothing was found.
The most explosive item in the room was a resolution offered by
Rep. Harold D. Donohue, D-Mass., calling for Nixon's impeachment on
two broad articles, one based on the Watergate cover-up and the other
charging him with abusing his powers of office.
The proposed a
5icles, still subject to refinements, were drafted
after day-long negotiations between pro-impeachment Democrats and
seven fence-sitting members -
our Republicans and three Southern
Democrats.
Neither side would say publicly that the articles as presented
represent an agreement, but one participant in the negotiations said
he expects the seven undecided members to support at
east one of
them. That would produce a 26-12 vote in favor of impeachment.
The Watergate article accuses Nixon of acting ''directly and
personally and through his close subordinates and agents'' to
obstruct the investigation of the Watergate break-in.
It lists nine speciric acts it says Nixon directed to carry out the
cover-up, including the payment of hush money, the suppression of
evidence, the misuse of the CIA and the making of ''false or
misleading public statements in his capacity as President for the
purpose of deceiving the people of the United States ...''
The abuse of power article charges Nixon with authorizing illegsl
wiretaps, establishing a special investigative unit in the White
House to engage in unlawful activities - such as the break-in of
Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office - and with interfering with
the administration of the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI.
Both articles, and the specific acts cited in them, follow closely
the major concerns in the impeachment inquiry of Rep. Thomas F.
Railsback, R-Ill., in whose office the uncommitted members drafted
their proposals for submission to the pro-impeachment group.

Railsback delivered an emotional speech Wednesday night in which he
stopped short of saying he would vote or impeachment but left no
doubtdhe was bothered by Nixon's actions in the Watergate cover-up
and in his use of the IRS and FBI.
''If there is anything that is going to affect my vote, it is
misuse of sensitive agencies,'' he said.
Speaking without notes, Railsback was the only member who ran over
the 15 minutes alloted each speaker. He said he had been agonizing
over his decision for months. He warned that ''the young people in
this country'' will become frustrated and disillusioned if the
committee adopts an attitude that the country cannot afford to
impeach a president and fails to get at the truth.
Another Midwest Republican, Rep. Robert McClory of Illinois,
expressed major concerns that he said troubled him.
McClory said he did not think the evidence before the committee
implicated Nixon in Watergate, but that the President could not
escape some responsibility for the many offenses committed by those
around him.
''Is the office of the presidency being operated in the manner
intended by the Constitution, when under the guise of national
security, federal bureaucracy, dissatisfaction with the head of the
FBI, personal animosities for enemies, we experience burglaries,
unlawful wiretaps and bugging, shredding and concealment of evidence,
misuse of the CIA, FBI, IRS - and a host of other misdeeds?'' he
asked.
The Republican speeches were in sharp constrast to the crisp
presentations of the Democrats.
''Should Richard M. Nixon be found guilty of obstruction of
justice? Yes,'' said Rep. William L. Hungate. D-Mo. ''Should Richard
M. Nixon be found guilty of abusing the powers of his office? Yes.
Should Richard M. Nixon be found guilty of contempt of and defiance
of Congress and the courts? Yes.''
Texas Rep. Jack Brooks, who used only about 4 of his 15 minutes,
said the catalogue of crimes that go under the name Watergate amount
to a record of corruption unequalled in the nation's history.
Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., said he had concluded ''that President
Nixon has consciously and intentionally engaged in serious misdeed,
that he has corrupted and subverted our political and government
processes to the extent that he should be impeached and the matt,r f
hrs guilt or innocence referred to the Senate for trial.''
Rep. Edward Hutchinson, R-Mich., said no one should vote for
impeachment who is not already convinced of Nixon's guilt. Before he
could cast such a vote, he said, he would have to be convincei.reasonable doubt
that Nixon was guilty of a serious enough offense
to require his removal from office.

Rep. Robert W. Kastenmeier, D-Wis., said he already has been
convinced. ''I have concluded, after careful consideration of the
evidence that President Nixon must be impeached and removed from
office,'' he said.
Rep. Henry P. Smith III, R-N.Y., dispelled the idea he would vote
for impeachment by saying the evidence was not sufficiently clear and
convincing for him except on the single, narrow issue of secret
bombing of Cambodia, which is not included in the proposed articles.
Members will be able to8ofer mendments to the articles when the
general debate concludes, but the Cambodian bombighas lvittle
support on the committee as an impeachable offense.
Smith and Hutchinson said they thought the committee should
postpone its hearings until it learns whether Nixon will give it the
64 tapes the Supreme Court has ordered him to deliver to special
rosecutor Leon Jaworski. They did not force the issue, however, and
Rodino, D-D.J., said the hearings will continue as scheduled.

By CARL P. LEUBSDORF
AP Political Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite President Nixon's decisio to turn over
more Watergate tapes, a Democratic leader in the House says only a
miracle can save Nixon from impeachment and Republican leaders made
no move to delay the impeachment proceedings.
The assessment about the need foe came from Rep. Thomas
P. O'Neill, D-Mass., the Democratic leader in the House who predicted
the Judiciary Committee would recommend impeachment and that the full
House would vote impeachment by at least 60 votes.
''And it could well be that a tidal wave would hit the House and
he'd be impeached by over 100 votes,'' O'Neill said.
Vice President Gerald R. Ford said he thought Nixon's compliance
with the Supreme Court order would help the President fight
impeachment by swaying public opinion in his favor.
However, Ford conceded the question of whether the House would vote
impeachment has ''become a bit narrower'' since the time when Ford
first predicted the House would reject impeachment.
Ford also urged Nixon to turn over to the impeachment inquiry all
relevant parts of the tapes. The Supreme Court order requires the
President to furnish tapes to the Watergate special prosecutor.
Several Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee spoke
of the need to delay the impeachment inquiry in hopes of getting the
new tapes. However, they made no formal move to win delay during the
committee's opening session of public debate.
The initial reaction to Nixon's decision to comply was almost
uniformly favorable, although there were reservations that the Whitr
House would ake considerable time to prepare the tapes, thus drawing
out the Watergate saga.
Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., said it may take as long as two
months to get the material prepared to turn over to the prosecutor.
He called for great dispatch and suggested that the White House turn
over the tapes ''recording by recording, conversation by
conversation, just as quickly as they have been processed for
delivery.''
Rep. Ogden R. Reid, D-N.Y., also called for speedy presidential
compliance, declaring that a statement by James D. St. Clair, nixon's
Watergate lawyer, indicated the actual delivery of the tapes might
take an inordinate length of time.
Reid also said the decision should not delay the impeachment
proceedings, a view shared by the majority of the Judiciary
Committee.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Just when everyone is getting restless in the

Nobody, except perhaps the next speaker, voices a complaint. Even
the privilege of sitting at once-a-century impeachment debate has

A spokesman said special prosecutor Leon Jaworski likely would
arrange a meeting with U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica today to
ask that the tapes be ordered turned over within a few days.
The spokesman said the prosecutors knew at least 33 of the
transcripts to be ''readily available.''
Archibald Cox, the original Watergate prosecutor who was dismissed
by Nixon, said the Supreme Court decision ''reaffirms two
cornerstones of liberty: one, that the law applies to all men
equally, and two, that the executive is under the law.''
But White House aide John McLaughlin said the nation would face a
year-long ''parade of horrors'' if the House votes to impeach Nixon.
Before Nixon's decision to obey the court was announced, members of
the Republican party's conservative wing voiced their concern about
the possibility that the President would fail to comply and about
what one senator saw as impeachment politics being played by the
White House.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., had predicted that any refusal by
Nixon to obey would ''have a very bad effect on his chances of
surviving impeachment.''
Later, when the Nixon decision was announced, Goldwater sounded
relieved when he said, ''It's the only thing he could do.''
Asked whether the move would stem the impeachment tide, Goldwater
responded, ''There's no way of knowing.''
Meanwhile, Sen. James A. McClure, R-Idaho, a conservative not known
for criticizing the President, said he and other conservatives were
considering demanding Nixon's resignation if the President abandons
his 1972 campaign pledges in an effort to win support from liberals.
McClure's specific complaint was the bill to set up an independent
corporation to provide legal services to the poor. He claimed Nixon
was going to sign the bill because of liberal pressure.
''The attempt to be all things for all men will be
self-defeating,'' he said, adding that if this developes into a
pattern, ''we have no alternative but to ask for resignation.''

WASHINGTON (AP) - Just when everyone is getting restless in the

the speeches, along comes a bomb scare to make it happen.
Nobody, except perhaps the next speaker, voices a complaint. Even
the privilege of sitting at a once-a-century impeachment debate has
its drawbacks. The sitting itself is not the least of them.
You can't stand and stretch, switch channels or raid the
refrigerator when things bog down. You can, as some House Judiciary
Committee members do while the camera is looking elsewhere, fan
yourself or even yawn.
Yet there is little that is boring. This is an awesome proceeding.
''Let us be clear about this,'' says the silver-haired chairman,
Peter W. Rodino Jr., at Wednesday night's opening session. ''No
official, no concerned citizen, no representative, no member of this
committee welcomes an impeachment proceeding. No one welcomes the day
when there has been such a crisis of concern that he must decide
whether 'high crimes and misdemeanors,' serious abuses of official
power or violations of public trust have in fact occurred.''
But he added in his raspy voice: ''Let us go forward into debate in
good will, with honor and decency and with respect for the views of
one another. . . . Let us leave the Constitution as unimpaired for
our children as our predecessors left it to us.''
On the political hustings, that is known as an applause line. But
this hearing room, large as it is, doesn't accommodate such partisan
crowds as attended last year's Senate Watergate hearings. Not once
did Rodino need to gavel for order.
Even the bomb scare is handled low key.
At 8:20 p.m. House switchboard operator Kristina Wildman receives a
call from a woman: ''There's a bomb in the House Judiciary
Committee.'' The telephone operator notifies the sergeant-at-arms.
Rodino is told. He holds a conference with colleagues, so
unobtrustive that it attracts no attention away from the current
speaker, Wisconsin Democrat Robert Kastenmeier.
The chairman lets him finish. A half hour has gone by. ''Society
and its representatives must condemn this conduct,'' Kastenmeier
concludes. ''I do believe the House of Representatives will agree.''
Rodino bangs his gavel for a recess with the ''meeting to resume at
the call of the chairman.'' To inquiring newsmen, he murmurs: ''Bomb
Threat.''

The room is cleared by Capitol police, who then bring in dogs to
sniff out explosives. Those going outside for fresh air, of which
there is little this warm, humid July night, could hear ''the Battle
Hymn of the Republic'' sung by a hundred or more voices of a group
holding a prayer vigil. The singers oppose impeachment, carry flags
and placards.
Back inside 47 minutes later, the room still is warm. A haze
persists under the bright television lights.
But now there is renewed vigor that seems even to infect the
remaining speakers.
Rep. Charles W. Sandman, R-N.J., makes no bones about his distaste
for the way the news media, the committee counsel, and even some of
his fellow members have handled things in recent weeks.
''Give me something direct. I'll vote to impeach,'' he says. He
recalls an earlier Judiciary Committee's vote to recommend the
impeachment of Andrew Johnson. A blot on the record, he says and adds
''I don't propose to be par of a second blot on the history of this
great nation.''
Later, another Republican, Thomas F. Railsback of Illinois,
considered on the fence about impeachment. He is called a ''swing
vote'' by those who predict the outcome. Railsback obviously is
agitated. The words tumble from his mouth:
''Some of my people say that the country cannot afford to impeach a
President . . . let me say to them and to countless others, including
many, many young people . . . the young people in this country think
that we're not going to handl this thing fairly. If we're not really
going to try to get to the truth you're going to see the most
frustrated people, the most turned off people, the most disillusioned
people . . .''
He runs over his alloted 15 minutes. Rodino gives him an extra
three then bangs his gavel. The next speaker, Democrat William L.
Hungate of Missouri yields two of his. RAILSBACK TAKES FOUR.
At 10:38 p.m. the score 11 down and 27 to go, Rodino ends the
session.
And then, almost sheepishly, he announces another bomb scare and
asks everyone to leave the room quickly.
He needn't have said it. The crowd was mostly gone.

Cyprus Bjt 430 Two Takes 780

By PHILIP DOPOULOS
Associated Press Writer
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - The new civilian government of Greece has
freed all political prisoners and recognized Archbishop Makarios as
president of Cyprus. But the new head of the Greek Cypriot regime on
the island, President Glafcos Clerides, said he would not hand the
office back to the archbishop.
One of Premier Constantine Caramanlis' first acts after naming a
12-man cabinet on Wednesday was to declare a general amnesty for all
those jailed for political dissent during the seven years of military
dictatorship.
Citizenship was restored to all who had been deprived of it,
including actress Melina Mercouri, leftist political leader Andreas
Papandreou and composer Mikos Theodorakis. The new government emptied
the Yiaros Island concentration camp and shut it down.
Theodorakis flew home from Paris and said he thought the return to
power of Caramanlis was a positive step. But he pointed out that
''the political left is excluded'' from the government.
The cabinet members are all centrists or rightists, and men of
economic and bureaucratic expertise, indicating that Caramanlis
planned a speedy assault on inflation and other economic woes.
Foreign Minister George Mavros, who is also deputy premier,
announced the new regime's repudiation of the coup in Cyprus, which
is generally believed to have been the work of the dictatorship. He
said Greece ''has accepted fully the United Nations Security Council
decision on Cyprus. ... We, therefore, recognize President Makarios
as the legal head of Cyprus.''
But in Nicosia, the Cypriot capital, President Clarides said the
people of Cyprus should decide the presidency, and he would hold an
election ''not later than within a few months.''
Asked if Makarios could run, he said: ''In a free country every
citizen has the right to present himself for election.'' But he
warned that ''it would be a very unwise move for Makarios to come
back under the present conditions.''
The 61-year-old archbishop was proclaimed president automatically
last year for a third-five year term when no candidate opposed him.
Now in New York, he said earlier this week he planned to return to
Cyprus in a few weeks. But there was no immediate comment from him on
Clerides' statements.
Clerides was Makarios' closest associate, political heir and the
president of the House of Representatives. The latter post made him
the constitutional successor to the president, and he moved into the
top spot Tuesday after the collapse of the dictatorship in Athens
pulled the rug from under the coup leaders in Cyprus.

ATHENS - Greek-Cyprus Bjt a048 Take 2: in Cyprus. 350
No major fighting was reported on Cyprus Wednesday, but the Indian
commander of the United Nations peacekeeping force reported
indications Wednesday night that 400-500 Turkish troops with tanks
were digging in 500 yards from the Nicosia airport and would try to
seize it during the night.
Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim called the Security Council into
emergency session in New York to deal with the reported threat. But
Turkish Foreign Minister Turan Gunes sent Waldheim a message assuring
him that Turkey would not threaten or use force against the troops at
the airport. Several council members said they were satisfied, and
the council adjourned.
Meanwhile, a contingent of 500 British troops in armored cars was
reported on its way to the airport from British bases in south Cyprus
to bolster the U.N. force.
Clerides accused the Turks of moving heavy armor since the
cease-fire, and said this created ''a potentially dangerous situation
because it is not possible for us to abide by the cease-fire if
Turkish forces try to move their positions.''
Gunes, Greek Foreign Minister Mavros and British Foreign Secretary
James Callaghan were to meet in Geneva tonight to begin peace
negotiations for Cyprus. Their three nations are the guarantors of
the island's independence under the treaty that freed it from Britain
in 1960.
It was expected that the ministers would meet for about three days,
adopt a communique supporting the cease-fire and create a working
group. The group is to begin concrete negotiations to resolve such
issues as the withdrawal of the Greek army officers who led the coup,
the withdrawal of the Turkish invasion forces, the future government
of Cyprus and future relations between the Greek majority and the
Turkish minority on Cyprus.
Clerides expressed little faith in the outcome of the Geneva talks,
saying foreign governments could not work out a peace formula and
impose it. He said a peaceful agreement could only be achieved by
talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots ''under the umbrella of
the United Nations.''

Theodorakis Bjt 380
By JOHN VINOCUR
Associated Press Writer
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Composer Mikis Theodorakis returned home
Wednesday night after four years in exile and said, ''My joy now is
the same that I felt waiting in a cell to be tortured.''
''It was all part of the same struggle,'' said the militant leftist
who wrote the music for ''Zorba the Greek,'' ''Never on Sunday'' and
''Z.''
''There is now as there was then the same feeling of joy blossoming
in me. Youth is the victor. The future is in front of us.''
Theodorakis was the first of Greece's well known exiles to return
home after the collapse Tuesday of the military dictatorship.
Newspaper publisher Helen Vlachos was reported preparing to leave
London, and actress Melina Mercouri was expected to visit Athens
soon.
The 49-year-old composer spent three years in and out of Greek
prisons before going into exile in Paris n 1970, and his music was
banned by the colonels. But now he heard it constantly on the radio
as he talked to friends in his apartment and waved from his balcony
to applauding crowds.
He said in an interview that he believed the return of Constantine
Caramanlis to head the new government is a ''positive step, but I
want to see more before making a definite statement.
He said, ''For the moment, the political left is excluded. I think
the left has its role in Greece. There is no doubt about it, the left
made the greatest sacrifices during the dictatorship.''
Theodorakis, who led the leftist ''Lambrakis Youth'' movement prior
to the 1967 coup, said boldly: ''I incarnate the unity of the left.
''What we are going to do is to use the new liberty to organize the
people. If we are wise, we will be able to organize the great
strength of the people in a way that is new for Greece.''
He avoided putting a name on the policies he advocates, but said:
''I am part of the new left that has grown up.''
He described himself as a ''professional'' activist, and said: ''We
have all worked for this day. It is not a fortuitous thing. We merit
this day.''
About 1,000 friends, mostly young people, were at the airport to
cheer Theodorakis on his return.

Cyprus Talks Bjt 440
By OTTO DOELLING
Associated Press Writer
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) - The foreign ministers of Britain, Greece
and Turkey prepared to meet here tonight to begin negotiations
seeking permanent peace on explosive Cyprus.
James Callaghan of Britain, Turan Gunes of Turkey and George Mavros
of the new Greek government were expected to meet for about three
days, adopt a communique supporting the cease-fire on the island the
Turks invaded last Saturday and create a working group.
The working group would do the actual negotiating on such concrete
matters as continued Turkish control of the Kyrenia-Nicosia corridor
the Turks captured, the withdrawal from Cyprus of the Greek army
officers who led the coup that ousted President Makarios, and the
restoration of constitutional government to the island.
The abdication of the Greek military dictatorship in Athens was
considered a good omen for the negotiations. But the new interim
president of Cyprus, Glafcos Clerides, said he had little faith in
the Geneva talks if Cyprus were not represented.
Foreign governments cannot work out a peace formula abroad and
impose it on the island, he declared. Britain, Greece and Turkey are
the three guarantors of the independence of Cyprus under the treaty
in which Britain freed the Mediterranean island in 1960.
Although Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's telephone calls to
Ankara had much to do with Turkish Premier Bulent Ecevit's decision
to accept the cease-fire, it was not clear what role the United
States would play now.
The British Foreign Office said it would have no objection to full
American participation at the peace talks, and privately British
officials in London discussed the possibility of getting the United
States to add its power and prestige to any agreements that are
reached. But so far Kissinger has assigned only an observer,
Assistant Secretary of State William B. Buffum, to the talks.
Before he left Athens, Mavros said the foreign ministers would
discuss ''only the Security Council's decision which calls for a
cease-fire and restoration of order on the island.''
That, however, is only part of the resolution adopted last
Saturday. It also calls for an immediate end to foreign military
intervention in Cyprus, withdrawal of the Greek leaders of the coup
and negotiations to restore constitutional government to Cyprus.
The Turkish foreign minister said in an interview that his
government no longer seeks partition of the island between its Greek
majority and Turkish minority. But he said Ankara des favor a
''federal solution'' that would take into account the existence of
the two communities with the same rights and with strong attachments
to their morn

Prison Hostages Bjt 490 Two Takes 660
Wirephoto HVX1
By JIM BARLOW
Associated Press Writer
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. (AP) - Armed convicts say they will kill the 10
hostages they are holding in the state prison library unless they are
given automatic weapons, ammunition and bullet-proof vests.
Negotiations between the rebel convicts and prison authorities were
broken off by the inmates at about 1 a.m. today. They said they would
start talking again today.
The hostages include five men and four women civilian teachers and
librarians and one guard, said Dr. Don Kirkpatrick, assistant
director of the Texas Department of Corrections. Kirkpatrick said at
least three convicts were involved.
Kirkpatrick told newsmen Wednesday night the apparent leader of the
rebels, Fred Gomez Carrasco, had demanded six bullet-proof vests,
three bullet-proof helmets and visors, three walkie-talkie radios,
three M16 automatic rifles, five magazines of ammunition, 100 loose
rounds for each rifle and ''suitable clothing for the three of us.''
Kirkpatrick said Carrasco, who was sentenced to life for assault
with attempt to murder a police officer at San Antonio, had
threatened to execute the hostages if the demands were not met.
''Mr. Carrasco s not pushing us for any time deadline,''
Kirkpatrick said. ''It is also interesting to note there have been no
transportation demands.''
Kirkpatrick said there was only a double door leading into the
library and Carrasco was making the hostages sit in front of it,
rotating them about every 20 minutes.
This prevented sharpshooters from firing into the room, Kirkpatrick
said.
He identified the three other convicts in the library as Rudolfo
Dominguez, serving a 15-year sentence from San Antonio for assault to
murder; Ignacio Cuevas, a Mexican national serving a 45-year sentence
for murder; and Ray Robinson, serving a sentence for rape in Dallas.
Kirkpatrick said, however, that he did not believe Robinson was an
active participant.
The rebels' demands were delivered to officials by the prison
chaplain, the Rev. Joseph O'Brien, a Roman Catholic priest who was in
and out of the library several times Wednesday night conferring with
Carrasco. Carrasco served as a porter in the prison chapel.
Prison authorities said Carrasco and his companions took control of
the library about 1 p.m. Wednesday, brandishing three handguns.
Officials said they did not know where the convicts obtained the
weapons because correctional officers at the prison do not carry
arms.
The convicts originally took 11 hostages, but one, Glennon Johnson,
51, suffered an apparent heart attack about 9:30 p.m. and Carrasco
freed him.
Johnson was reported in stable condition at a Huntsville hospital.
Prison officials said there were 57 inmates in the library at the
time of the takeover, including Carrasco.
The rebels let 50 inmates leave immediately and another three left
some 5 1/2 hours later, just before Father O'Brien emerged from his
first conference with the rebels.

Asked by newsmen Wednesday night if he thought Carrasco would carry
out the threat to kill the hostages unless the rebels' demands were
met, Kirkpatrick replied, ''He's shot people before.''
Asked the same question, Father O'Brien said, ''I believe he will.
I believe he will kill those people.''
The 10 hostages were identified as Alline House, 61; Ann Fleming,
50; Linda Woodman, 44; Julia Standley, 43; Novena Pollard; Elizabeth
Beseda, 47; Anthony Branch, 36; Ron Robinson, 35; Bertha Davis, 54;
and guard Bob Heard, 27.
Carrasco escaped from a Mexican prison at Guadalajara in late 1972
after his arrest in connection with the seizure of $20 million worth
of heroin and cocaine. After his escape, several of his associates
were found dead on both sides of the border.
His assault with attempt to murder conviction, Carrrasco's third
felony conviction, stemmed from a shootout with police at a San
Antonio hotel on July 22, 1973. Carrasco was wounded four times
during the gun battle.

By JIM ADAMS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - John W. Dean III says President Nixon told him in
1972 that George P. Shultz was not made secretary of the Treasury
''to be some sort of candy ass'' and would have to help get tax
audits on Sen. George S. McGovern's campaign contributors.
Former White House counsel Dean's testimony, released today by the
House Judiciary Committee, shows he also said Nixon did not order an
alleged $75,000 hush money payment, but ''the President felt it was
desirable.''
Dean's closed-door July 11 testimony was released along with that
of former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell.
Dean testified Nixon made the comment about Shultz when Dean
reported to the President Sept. 15, 1972, that then Internal Revenue
Service Commissioner Johnnie Walters had refused Dean's request to
audit a list of then Democratic presidential candidate McGovern's
contributors.
''He (Nixon) said something to the effect, well, if Shultz thinks
he's been put over there to be some sort of candy ass, he is
mistaken, and if you have got any problems, you just come tell me and
I will get it straightened out,'' Dean quoted the President.
Rep. Tom Railsback, R-Ill., said at the committee's opening
deliberations on impeachment Wednesday night that Nixon's alleged
comment on Shultz is among evidence that could cause Railsback to
vote for recommending impeachment.
Shultz had become head of the Treasury Department, which also
includes IRS, three months earlier, June 12.
Dean said that when he went back to IRS with Nixon's backing,
Walters still refused to audit the McGovern contributors. Dean said
he did not know if Nixon told Shultz to have the audits made.
Dean testified the President launched a long discussion ''about the
IRS and not using it effectively and from there we immediately went
to the fact that we were not using the entire apparatus of the
government effectively and the changes that would be made after the
election.''
On the alleged hush money, Dean testified he did not feel after the
now famous March 21, 1973, meeting that Nixon had told him to arrange
the $75,000 payment - but that Nixon did feel it was desirable to pay
the money.
''I had gone in with the intent of trying to turn off the payment
to (Watergate conspirator E. Howard) Hunt,'' Dean testified. ''I came
out, having been turned around as far as the desirability.''
Later Dean summed it up: ''One, I had not convinced the President
that that should not be done; two, that he had persuaded me that it
was something that was going to be done but, three, I had no
responsibility for it.''
The President's lawyer, James D. St. Clair, called a series of
witnesses including Dean, to try to establish that arrangements for
the payment had already started and did not come directly from the
Nixon meeting.
Dean also confirmed some of Nixon's supporters' theory that the
President's widely quoted ''Well, for Christ's sake, get it''
statement referred to getting a signal to Hunt rather than hush
money. But Dean said the signal was a promise of hush money.

At the March 21 meeting Dean had told Nixon that Hunt threatened to
expose White House plumbers activities, including the burglary of
Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, if the money was not paid.
Dean had said immediately before Nixon'uthat at
least a signal should be sent to Hunt.
''Was it a signal to let him know that money would be
forthcoming?'' asked Rep. William S. Cohen, R-Maine.
''That is correct,'' Dean replied. ''Never (sic) just to buy time
on.''
Mitchell testified that Nixon's statements to ''stonewall it ...
cover up or anything else,'' and on ''the coverup plan'' and
''containment'' all referred not to Watergate but to executive
privilege.
All of those Nixon references at a March 22, 1973, meeting,
Mitchell contended, were in the context of a discussion of Nixon's
plan at that time to have top White House aides refuse to testify at
the Senate Watergate hearings on executive privilege grounds.
''But this statement by the President says absolutely nothing about
executive privilege,'' said Rep. Joshua Eilberg, D-Pa. ''It talks
about the Watergate matter.''
''The Watergate matter was the whole purpose of the (Senate) select
committee,'' Mitchell replied.
Later Mitchell added: ''The President, by his stand on the use of
executive privilege, the hardline that he took, was being accused of
a coverup plan. And that is the context in which the word 'coverup
plan' is used in here.''
Mitchell said his role in the discussion was to urge the President
to allow his top aides to testify at the Senate hearings, as finally
they did.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - By telephone, a woman tricked police into

hoax touched off some frantic activity. Miss Hearst's parents and
sister flew to Los Angeles from San Francisco. Her father was ''very

building, blocked off streets and negotiated by telephone with the
hoaxer, who said she wanted to surrender to ''Uncle George.'' Rumors

had escaped. A police spokesman said officers raided an apartment but
found only a cat, a .22-caliber rifle and an automatic shotgun. But a
husband and wife who lived in the apartment - she having a
superficial resemblance to Miss Hearst - said they were grabbed by

SOLINGEN, Germany (AP) - Bobby Fischer will be stripped of his
world chess crown next April 1 unless he drops demands for revamped
scoring of the 1975 challenge tournament, officials say.
''I'm afraid he won't do this. I think there is only a 30 to 40 per
cent chance,'' said President Max Euwe of the World Chess Federation.
Euwe said if Fischer lost the title in 1975, he wouldn't have
another chance at the crown until the 1978 tournament.
Under the prevailing scoring system, the first player to win 10
matches wins the title. Fischer would have the challenger claim the
title only if he wins at least two more matches than the champion.

Chadwick 240
LONDON (AP) - The death of Sir James Chadwick, who won the Nobel
physics prize in 1935 for the discovery of the neutron, was announced
today in the Times of London. He was 82.
The announcement did not say when Chadwick died or give the cause
of death.
Chadwick was working with Lord Rutherford at Cambridge University's
Cavendish Laboratory after World War I when he discovered the
neutron, a key step in the development of atomic energy.
As World War II approached, he became deeply involved in research
pointing to the development of the atomic bomb. Associates considered
him the first Englishman who fully appreciated the danger that
Germany might harness the atom for military purposes.
In 1943 he went to the United States as head of a British atomic
team to assist in the development of the bomb, taking with him senior
scientists from a nuclear department he had established' at Liverpool
University. He was responsible for coordinating the work of American,
British and Canadian scientits working on the bomb.
He was knighted in 1945 and in the postwar years continued research
and teaching, first at Liverpool University and then at Cambridge. In
1970, he was made a Companion of Honor, limited to 65 persons
outstanding in public service. He also held the U.S. Medal of Merit
and many other foreign honors.
Chadwick is survived by his widow and twin daughters.

By DAN BERGER
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A woman telephoned police and gave officers
information which they said led them to believe she could have been
fugitive heiress Patricia Hearst. She said she wanted to surrender.
The hoax touched off some frantic activity.
- Miss Hearst's parents and sister flew anxiously to Los Angeles
from San Francisco. Her father was ''very disappointed.''
- More than l00 police surrounded an apartment building, blocked
off streets and negotiated by telephone with the hoaxer, who said she
wanted to surrender to ''Uncle George.'' Rumors later buzzed that
Miss Hearst had been in the apartment building but had escaped.
- A police spokesman said officers raided an apartment but found
only a cat, a .22-caliber rifle and an automatic shotgun. Three
persons who were in the apartment, including a 13-year-old girl who
bears a strong resemblance to Miss Hearst, said they were grabbed by
detectives and questioned.
Police said the guns had a legitimate owner with no connection to
the Symbionese Liberation Army, which kidnaped Miss Hearst at
Berkeley, Calif., on Feb. 4.
The hoaxster wasn't found, and a police spokesman said later ''we
had no evidence that Miss Hearst or any SLA member was ever there.''
After all the excitement, Police Chief Ed Davis summed up the
Wednesday night operation as ''a good command exercise.'' Lt. Dan
Cook, the police spokeman said it was ''a practice in futility.''
It all began when three persons called police between 6 and 6:30
p.m. and said a woman fitting the description of Miss Hearst, who
after her abduction renounced her family and said she was joining her
terrorist captors.
Police said the three callers said the woman who entered the
building was followed later by a black men carrying a rifle.
Officers went to the building, contacted the manager and showed her
photographs of Miss Hearst and SLA members William and Emily Harris,
all being sought on a variety of state and federal charges. The
manager, Marcella Tyler, identified Miss Hearst and Mrs. Harris as
being seen in the building, police said.
Later she told newsmen she was positive she sawMiss Hearst, but
she wouldn't elaborate.
Police massed near the building. A Special Weapons and Tactics
squad team arrived, one of those which spearheaded a fiery gun battle
in which six members of the SLA died here May 17.
A woman who said she was inside telephoned police and said she
wanted to give herself up to ''Uncle George.'' Miss Hearst's cousin,
George Hearst Jr., is publisher of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.
Her uncle, George Hearst Sr., died in l972.
''We should have realized that Hearst Sr. was dead and that the
call was a hoax,'' Chief Davis said.
Police refused to say how long they talked to the woman or whether
she identified herself as Miss Hearst. But officers believed she
could have been the heiress ''because of the detailed information she
gave,'' Cook said.

Karen Cunca, l9, her husband, Edward, 22, and 13-year-old Kelly
Ravenscroft, were playing cards in the apartment that police believed
was occupied by the newspaper heiress.
''Someone came and began banging on the door,'' said Cunca. ''It
was a neighbor who said to lock the doors and windows because Patty
Hearst was in the complex.
''I ran out of the apartment and a couple of detectives grabbed us
and said they wanted to talk to us. They took us down the street and
into the manager's apartment for questioning and then let us go.''
The guns were owned by a friend, Chris Garza, 20, who also lived in
the apartment, said Mrs. Cunca. ''They're hunting rifles,'' she said.
''Chris likes to hunt.''
Garza was not in the apartment, but police said after the four-hour
operation that he was checked ou and ''was clean.''
Cunca said he had no idea who made the telephone call, but he
added, ''It wouldn't be a friend, it would be an enemy.''
Police said they earlier had quietly evacuated the more than 30
other residents of the building.
Miss Hearst's father, Randolph A. Hearst, editor and president of
the San Francisco Examiner, his wife and 17-year-old daughter Anne
heard on the flight to Los Angeles that the telephone call was a
hoax.
Hearst said he was ''very disappointd,'' adding, ''I wanted to be
of help in the final end of this story if it came here.'' He said he
still hopes to see his daughter again. After an hour in Los Angeles,
the three returned to the family home at Hillsborough, south of San
Francisco.
Even after police left, several building residents said they
believed Miss Hearst may have been in the building, but police
discounted their stories.
''They're excited people,'' one officer said.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Khmer Rouge insurgents captured two
government outposts north of Phnom Penh, and 170 of the government
defenders are missing, military sources said today.
Tuk Hot, in Kompong Chhnang province about 50 miles north of the
capital, was lost Wednesday after six assaults during the day, the
sources said. The post was defended by a 300-man battalion, and 100
of them were reported missing.
Another government garrison fled Tuesday from Peam Longvek, on the
east bank of the Tonle Sap river 25 miles north of Phnom Penh, after
two days of attacks, according to the sources. They said 70 of the
government troops were not accounted for.
The post was established at Peam Longvek to try to keep insurgents
from attacking food convoys coming down the river to Phnom Penh. The
survivors crossed the river and made their way toward the big
government camp at Longvek. But intelligence reports indicated Khmer
Rouge forces were moving from the southwest coast toward the area
west of Phnom Penh and on north toward Longvek.
The government claimed its forces killed 67 insurgents in a battle
in the Talat region, 47 miles southwest of Phnom Penh. The command
said its air force flew a total of 123 combat strikes against various
targets around the country Wednesday.
In Saigon, the South Vietnamese command said its air force on
Wednesday had its busiest day since the cease-fire 18 months ago. It
said more than 210 strikes were flown and claimed 350 North
Vietnamese and Viet Cong were killed.
A spokesman said more than 50 of the strikes were around the
besieged town of Duc Duc, southwest of Da Nang.

Tom Sawyer Revisited

The Anniston Star
OXFORD, Ala. (AP) - Warm, schoolless days bring out the Tom Sawyer
in most any youngster. But some, like Larry Williams of Oxford, Ala.,
fit the type naturally.
Nine-year-old Larry walks with the easy confidence characteristic
of boys who spend most of their time outdoors.
During the summer, his days are filled with swimming, fishing,
bicycling, horseback riding or just playing around. In his busy,
carefree routine, Larry finds time to play third base, shortstop,
first base, catcher and pitcher on an Oxford youth baseball team.
Larry's father is the produce manager at a supermarket in a nearby
Anniston, Ala., supermarket and his mother teaches at a local
day-care center.
But like Mark Twain's freespirited character, Larry isn't too
concerned about the ''adult'' world. He's content to spend his days
romping with this two ponies, or fishing in a quite pond with his
dog, Boots.
Larry says he likes to use ''wiggly worms'' for bait but for Larry,
crickets are for other things.
''I like to put them in a bottle and save them,'' he says.
One year, Larry managed to land the biggest catfish on a family
fishing trip. ''But Daddy ate it,'' he recalls.
Other than crickets, Larry collects other things nine-year-old boys
gather.
''I had 42 lightning bugs in a jar, but they all died and I had to
throw them out,'' he remembered of a past summer.
The frackle-faced, blond-haired youngster also has four turtles,
two of which escaped and are hding in his house. In addition to the
ponies and dog, his family also has two pigs. It's a domain whre
Larry reigns as head keeper.
He also chases squirrels R'just to keep running.'' But, he warns,
''You have to be careful-they can turn around and bitessx$
)$
he
hand.''
Sometimes, the ponies prove hard to catch, but Larry has solved
that problem. ''I just chase them into the pond. They can't run so
fast there and I can swim out to get them.''
''Just messing around'' in the summer in Eastern Alabama brings joy
to Larry - a boy walking an old white plank fence with a fishing pole
cut from a tree in one hand.

HONOLULU (AP) - A New Jersy woman has raised an American flag at
the Hawaii Capitol here after ending a motorcycle trip in which she
hoisted the same banner over every state capitol.
''It was one unbelievable journey. I just can't believe that it's
over,'' Mayra P. Scarborough, 58, said on Wednesday.
The journey of the self-proclaimed ''bicentennial biker'' began
more than three years ago when she received a 50-star American flag
that had flown over the nation's capitol on April 19, 1971.
''I was enthusiastic about what the bicentennial could mean, so
that's when I got the idea to take this flag to every state capitol
and have it fly on their flag poles,'' she said.
The last leg of her trip began in May. Since then, she has visited
25 state capitals, topping off the list here after a flight from
California. She estimates she logged a total of 38,000 miles.
''Riding a motorcycle is a beautiful feeling, one that gives you
the chance to really relate to the beauty of the country,'' said Mrs.
Scarborough, a librarian for a pharmaceutical company in Nutley, N.J.
Her husband Bill, a sailplane dealer, remained at home.
Mrs. Scarborough said she plans to offer her flag to the American
Revolution Bicentennial Administration for use during ceremonies
celebrating the nation's 200th birthday. After that, she wants to
keep it as a family heirloom.
''As best as I can determine, it's the only flag that ever flew
over every capitol and in Washington,'' she said.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - A Lebanese freighter rescued 30 sailors from
a Turkish destroyer sunk accidentally by Turkish planes off the west
coast of Cyprus, police sources said today.
A total of 72 members of the 290-man crew of the destroyer, the
Kocatepe, now have been reported rescued. An Israeli ship rescued 42
survivors Monday and took them to Haifa.
The second group spent 48 hours in two rubber lifeboats before the
freighter Gisela picked them up Tuesday and brought them to Tripoli,
north of Beirut. Some of the survivors were suffering from minor
injuries and exposure.
The sailors told Lebanese authorities the Kocatepe was bombed
Sunday, but they would not identify the attacking planes. The Turkish
government has admitted only that the destroyer was ''lost'' in
action, but a source close to the military in Ankara said Turkish
pilots bombed the ship when they mistook a Turkish navy flotilla for
a Greek convoy they were searching for south of Paphos.
The Kocatepe took a direct hit, exploded and quickly capsized. Two
other destroyers also were hit but reached Mersin, on the south coast
of Turkey, the source saicd.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy transport Trenton arrived in Beirut today
with 114 American refugees from Cyprus and 172 refugees from 18
countries.
Among them were a third cousin of King Hussein of Jordan and a
cousin of the ruling Sheik of Kuwait.

CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois becomes on Tuesday the 11th state seeking
to cash in on the growing popularity of legalized lotteries.
For 50 cents, anyone over age 18 will be able to buy a chance to
win prizes ranging from $20 to $1 million.
Weekly drawings - the first Aug. 8 - will produce about 25,000
winners of prizes ranging from $20 to $300,000. A millionaire drawing
will be held about every three months.
An estimated 10,000 grocery stores, pharmacies, newsstands,
department stores, lodges and charitable organizations have been
licensed to sell the tickets.
Sales agents get to keep 10 per cent of the take. Forty-five per
cent will go to prizes, the balance to state government.
Promoters predict the lottery will add $60 million per year to
state revenues, or about 7 1/2 per cent of the $8 billion state budget.
Ralph F. Batch, a former FBI agent who organized the New Jersey
lottery and was hired away at a salary of $27,000 a year to set up
the Illinois operation, estimates there has been a $700 million gross
for all state lotteries since New Hampshire started the first in
1964.
Ohio plans to launch a similar lottery operation in August.
States already operating lotteries are Connecticut, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A shipment of bogus heroin being sold here

Authorities blamed the deaths on a unidentified white powder the

bodies of three of the four victims.
Detectives say the powder is being sold on the street as China
White, a colloquial term for a high grade of heroin. They say it is
not heroin but an amphetamine-like substance.
Dr. William Brady, the state's medical examiner, said autopsies
indicate the substance kills by suppressing the breathing center of
the brain, which allows the lungs to fill with fluid. The victim is

''We have been willing to give the media whatever shred of evidence
exists - and most of it is not evidence,'' Sandman said. He accused
Newsweek of unfairly displaying on its front cover only one portion
of a quote by President Nixon from a tape transcript. He also charged
The Washington Post gave more prominence to an unfavorable portion of
a Nixon tape than to a favorable portion.
''You can't use one part of a tape as this 'fair' magazine did. You
can't use one part of a tape as The Washington Post did. You have to
use the entire context,'' Sandman said.
Sandman criticized House Judiciary Committee leaks and said the
committee's inquiry had been fair until three weeks ago. He also said
majority counsel John Doar had been fair ''until three weeks ago.''
Sandman said he would vote for impeachment if someone would show
him direct evidence to link Nixon to crimes. But, he added, ''There
were lots of crimes committed by lots of people, but were they placed
at the door of the President? I don't think so.''

Scotus-Tapes 480
WASHINGTON (AP) - A one-year span of White House conversations when
the Watergate cover-up allegedly was taking place is encompassed by
the Supreme Court's order for President Nixon to surrender 64 tape
recorings.
The first conversation covered by the subpoena from the special
Watergate prosecutor took place on June 20, 1972, three days after
the break-in at the Democratic party headquarters in the Watergate
complex.
Subpoenaed conversations that day include a meeting in the
Executive Office Building (EOB) from 2:20 to 3:30 p.m. between Nixon
and then-presidential adviser Charles W. Colson, who brought
Watergate conspirator Howard Hunt to the White House.
The subpoena also asks for tapes of a telephone conversation
between Nixon and Colson from 8:04 to 8:20 p.m. placed from the EOB
and another call from Nixon to Colson from 11:33 that evening to
12:05 a.m. placed from the residence portion of the White House.
The other subpoenaed conversations involve the President, former
White House chief of staff H. R. Haldeman, legal counsel John W. Dean
III, Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, domestic adviser John D.
Ehrlichman and others.
Most of the conversations or phone calls originated in the White
House or the next-door EOB, although a Nov. 15, 1972 meeting
subpoenaed took place between Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Dean in the
President's office at his Camp David, Md., retreat. Dean has
testified that about this time he played a tape recording of a money
demand by Hunt.
Another telephone conversation included came in late January 1973
in which Nixon and Colson discussed Hunt, who pleaded guilty in the
Watergate break-in case.
The final tapes sought were of phone conversations on June 4, 1973
between Nixon and Haldeman, placed from the White House. Earlier that
day Nixon had listened to a dozen tapes of earlier conversations
related to the White House case and told aides Haldeman should be
able to counter some of the more damaging testimony.
Other subpoenaed tapes include:
- Three meetings with Haldeman of June 23, 1972, six days after the
Watergate break-in.
- A meeting with Jeb Magruder on Feb. 20, 1973, a day after Dean
told Haldeman that Magruder ''may be vulnerable.''
- A meeting with Haldeman and a phone conversation with Dean on
March 20, 1973, a day before Nixon said he first learned of the
cover-up.
- A March 21, 1973, meeting with Ehrlichman and a later telephone
conversation with Colson, which might bear on the payment of hush
money to Hunt.
- A March 22, 1973, meeting with Haldeman, which took place shortly
after Haldeman was told that Hunt was no longer a problem,
- A series of meetings between Nixon and Haldeman from April 14
through April 25 after the President had learned Dean was cooperating
with prosecutors.

Mass Transit 140
WASHINGTON (AP) - House-Senate conferees have cleared for floor
action a bill containing $800 million in one-year operating subsidies
for existing mass transit systems.
Meanwhile, Rep. Glenn M. Anderson, D-Calif., said Wednesday the
Public Works Committee will complete work on a six-year $20 billion
bill late this week or next.
Anderson said passage of the conference report might endanger the
longer-range bill.
Rep. Bella Abzug, D-N.Y., agreed with Anderson, saying there may be
an administration attempt to push out the one-year bill and waylay
the long-term legislation.
She said the one-year bill can serve the immediate needs of cities
and the Public Works bill would enable longer-term planning,
''dealing with the fundamental problem of operating as well as
construction.''

Reinecke 490
By JANET STAIHAR
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The defense, fortified by a court reporter's
embarrassed inability to read back his trial notes, plans to attack
the accuracy of Senate transcripts, which the judge calls ''the
guts'' of the indictment against California Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke.
James E. Cox plans today to call Frank Nelson of Los Angeles, past
president of the California Court Reporters Association, who the
defense attorney said will testify that the Senate hearing transcript
''is a bad record.''
California State Assemblyman Willie Brown also is on the
prospective list of character witnesses today in Reinecke's perjury
trial.
''It seems to me the accuracy of this transcript is a fundamental
factor of this case,'' U.S. District Judge Barrington D. Parker said
Wednesday.
The transcript contains Reinecke's testimony before the Senate
Judiciary Committee two years ago. Reinecke is accused of lying to
the committee when he said he did not discuss with then-Atty. Gen.
John N. Mitchell an ITT financial pledge for the 1972 Republican
National Convention until September 1971.
The incident with the court reporter happened as prosecutor Richard
Davis cross-examined defense witness James Woodworth, Reinecke's
press secretary when a controversial news release was issued by the
lieutenant governor's office in 1972.
Questions have been raised whether Robert Mardian, a top Mitchell
aide, helped draft the news release, in which Reinecke stated it was
not until September 1971 that he told Mitchell of a $200,000 pledge
from Sheraton Corp. to the GOP convention. Sheraton is an ITT
subsidiary.
''Do you know whether Mr. Mardian dictated the last paragraph of
the press release?'' Davis asked.
Woodworth requested a repeat of the question.
Duane Duschane, the stenotypist, twice tried to read aloud his
machine notes, fumbled and finally failed. The judge called a
10-minute recess immediately. When the trial resumed, another
stenotypist had replaced Duschane.
The episode was not lost to the jury. One man rolled his eyes
toward the ceiling while others shifted in their chairs and smiled.
Benjamin H. Firshein, the stenotypist who recorded Reinecke's
testimony before the Senate committee, has said that at the request
of the special Watergate prosecutor's office he edited the transcript
last March before it was turned over to the grand jury that indicted
Reinecke. Firshein said he made additional editing changes the
weekend before the perjury trial started.
Cox said that expert study of the transcript shows that ''a great
deal of crucial punctuation is missing'' and overlapping voices in
the hearing room caused substantial loss of dialogue.''
Earlier in the day, Parker refused to permit the testimony of a
California doctor who is an expert on travel fatigue and a
semanticist who was to analyze questions put to Reinecke by Sen.
Hiram Fong, R-Hawaii.
Cox advised Parker he would seek a writ to allow the jury to hear
the expert witnesses.
Parker said he believes that closing defense and prosecution
arguments will be heard Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) - ''The phone's been ringing off the hook with
campaign workers abandoning ship and saying they're going to work
against me,'' says Rep. Lawrence Hogan, R-Md., the first member of
the House Judiciary Committee to pledge to vote for impeachment of
President Nixon.
Hogan, a Republican candidate for governor in Maryland, said
Wednesday he is reassessing his candidacy in the wake of reaction to
his announcement Tuesday.
However, he added, ''it would not be accurate to say I am
considering withdrawing'' from the race.
He has directed campaign aides to poll local Republican chairman
throughout the state to measure the effect of his announcement. Hogan
also said his office staff is counting the telegrams and telephone
calls since his declaration.
The second term congressman said a preliminary count of the calls
and telegrams shwed 271 supporting his decision and 215 opposing it.
He added that there have been no defections among key campaign
aides and said he was aware of only one volunteer worker who has
''called up in a rage.''
Maryland's deadline for candidates to withdraw from the Sept. 10
primary is Friday night.

Hijacking 130
CALI, Colombia (AP) - A young man who hijacked a plane to Cuba in
1969 took over another plane on Wednesday and was killed by police.
Eduardo Martinez, about 24, commandeered the Avianca jetliner over
northwest Colombia, demanded $2 million and the release of political
prisoners and ordered the pilot to fly to Cali.
After the plane was refueled, the emergency door was opened and the
123 passengers were allowed off, leaving the seven crew members as
hostages. Police officers disguised as mechanics approached and
exchanged shots with the hijacker, fatally wounding him. No one else
was hurt.
Police said Martinez stayed in Cuba for several months after the

Episcopal Ordinations150
PHILADELPHIA (AP)- Three Episcopal bishops have reaffirmed their
decision to ordain 11 women priests here Monday, despite intense
pressure from the head of the Church and other bishops.
A spokesman for the bishops said they discussed the ordination
during a telephone conference Wednesday and had ''absolutely no
plans'' to take any other course.
The three bishops are the Rt. Rev. Robert L. DeWitt, former bishop
of Pennsylvania; the Rt. Rev. Edward Wells, retired bishop of West
Missouri; and the Rt. Rev. Daniel Corrigan, former head of the
Church's domestic missions.
The decision to ordain women was announced last Friday. Since then
some bishops have threatened to suspend the women if they take part
in the service or if they attempt to practice as priests.
The Rt. Rev. Paul Moore, bishop of New York, has asked decons in
his diocese not to take part in the service ''because they would be
going against the canons of the Church.''

Cyprus-Turks 400
By FRANK N. HAWKINS Jr.
Associated Press Writer
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - The leader of the Cyprus Turkish community,
Rauf Denktash, said today the nearly three-day-old cease-fire between
Greek Cypriot and Turkish forces was holding but ''the atmosphere
remains electric and dangerous.''
As Denktash spoke with newsmen at his official residence in the
Turkish sector of this Mediterranean island's divided capital, a few
random shots rang out in the background. Generally, however, the city
and other areas were reported quiet.
At the Nicosia International Airport, Turkish marines supported by
tanks were dug in 500 yards from the edge of the runway. The terminal
building was taken over Tuesday by United Nations forces to head off
a full-scale battle for control of the politically and strategically
vital airfield.
The Greek Cypriot government's limitations on Turkish use of the
airport has been a sore point with the Turks since Cyprus became
independent in 1960.
Five hundred British troops - Cold Stream Guards, lancers and
dragoons from bases in southern Cyprus - were arriving in armored
cars to reinforce the 200-man U.N. contingent at the airport.
U.N. Cyprus commander Maj. Gen. Prem Chand pledged Wednesday his
troops would fight to hold the airport if attacked, but when U.N.
Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim called the Security Council into
emergency session in New York, Turkish Foreign Minister Turan Gunes
assured Waldheim in a message that Turkey would not threaten or use
force against the troops at the airport. Several council members said
they were satisfied, and the council adjourned.
Denktash, who is also the vice president of Cyprus under the
constitution, spoke with obvious pleasure at gains by the Turkish
armed forces since the invasion began Saturday.
''I will be able to go swimming in Kyrenia now,'' he said with a
smile. ''I was not allowed that for 11 years'' except for a few
private invitations.
Asked about the status of Kyrenia, the northern seacoast resort
town captured by Turkish forces in the invasion, Denktash said Greek
Cypriots were free to leave the area if they so desired.
He also said he had no indications that the majority Greek Cypriot
residents of the town would not be able to live there if they wanted.
''I want to go back to normal as soon as possible,'' he said.

Cyprus-Turks ADD 480
NICOSIA Cyprus-Turks a097, add: said.
But Denktash made it clear the Turks have no intention of handing
the town back to the Greek Cypriot control - maybe ever.
''Kyrenia is now the door and window of the Turkish community,''
said Denktash referring to the fact that the minority Turks have
never had a port of their own.
''We have suffered a lot because of this lack of a window. People
could not go in and out normally because the Greeks were in charge of
all entrances to the country.''
Denktash said the situation remained dangerous because of rumors
floating around of atrocities committed against Turkish Cypriots by
Greek Cypriots during the three-day war.
''We are trying to keep our heads,'' he said. ''We are asking the
Red Cross and the United Nations to give us news. The Turkish
community all over Cyprus is in bad shape mainly because we have no
communication with them. Rumors are flying fast and dangerously.''
Turning to political matters, Denktash said the capture of Kyrenia,
important road junctions and the increase in control of land area in
Cyprus by Turkish forces has brought the concept of an independent
federated island ''several steps closer.''
He said he didn't care where talks would be opened, but he
emphasized ''Turkey will be sitting beside me. I am not going to let
go of Turkey's hand. They have supported us for so many years.''
He blamed the invasion on the now toppled Greek junta which
engineered the overthrow of President Archbishop Makarios and
installed in his place Nicos Sampson, a man closely identified with
Enosis - union with Greece.
He said Sampson and the Greek junta which was replaced by a
civilian government Tuesday, had lost their bid for Enosis because
they underestimated Turkish determination to support the Turkish
community which only represents about 17 per cent of the island
nation's population.
''Sampson played a big gamble,'' Danktash said. ''If Turkey had not
acted, he would have been the winner. We would have lost the
opportunity. But he lost.''
Sampson resigned Tuesday. He was replaced by Glafcos Clerides,
speaker of the House of Representatives and top negotiator for the
Greek side in the intercommunal talks aimed as seeking a settlement
of the Cyprus problems.
Just after he was sworn in Tuesdsay, Clerides went to see Denktash
at his residence.
''We met man to man,'' Denktash said. He recalled that Clerides had
stressed his desire to make the cease-fire work.
''I told him I was for a cease-fire,'' Denktash said. Denktash said
it was clear to him the Turkish invasion ''has saved the independence
of Cyprus and saved the Turkish community.''
''There is no need for any further bloodshed in Cyprus,'' Denktash
said. He added that because of the new sitation he was confident that
on the basis of federation ''we can settle the problem. We just want
an independent and fully sovereign state of Cyprus.''

Disneyland Birthday 310 k Takes 520
By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press Writer
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Disneyland enters its 20th year this week,
having met and passed its greatest crisis - the energy shortage.
Walt Disney's pleasure park opened its gates on July 17, 1955, amid
cries that it was ''Disney's Folly.'' Members of the outdoor
entertainment fraternity considered the movie maker mad for investing
$17 million in an amusement park amid the far-off orange groves of
Anaheim.
''It'll go broke fast,'' said the scoffers.
The Disney people like to cite figures to the contrary: a million
visitors in the first seven weeks, 3.8 million in the first year, 130
million in 19 years; growth from 22 attractions to 54 at a cost of
$150 million; rise in Anaheim hotel rooms from 87 to 10,000;
expansion of Disneyland staff from 2,500 to 6,500.
Disneyland seemed to be an uninterrupted success story - until the
Arabs decided to shut off oil last winter to the United States in the
wake of the Mideast war.
''There is no doubt that the energy crunch hurt us,'' says E.
Cardon ''Card'' Walker, the president of Walt Disney Productions.
''We felt it more at Walt Disney World; with 10 to 30 per cent
fewer people entering the State of Florida during the height of the
crisis, our business was bound to be affected.''
Management met the problem by trimming personnel, raising prices
and adopting a new system of supervision of the various park areas.
Business was down during the first three months of the year, Walker
said, but it improved with the easing of the oil crisis.
''During this summer we are doing almost as well in attendance as
last year,'' the president said.
''In the fiscal year which begins Oct. 1, we had hoped to repeat
last year's 11.5 million in Florida; now it looks as though we'll
draw 10.5 million.
''Disneyland should pull 9.1 million, slightly under last year.
Part of the reason is that many people in Northern California are
going to the Spokane World's Fair instead.''

With the raised prices and tightened operation, the two parks will
continue their profit levels, Walker predicted, adding that all areas
of the company seem headed for a record year.
''We're still in the basic business of making entertainment for
theaters and television,'' he said, ''and we're doing excellently in
both areas.
'''Herbie Rides Again' is doing amazing business - right up there
with 'The Love Bug,' which earned $17 million in domestic rentals.
With 'The Sting' pretty well played out, it looks as though 'Herbie'

The company continues to grow. Walker has stepped up the schedule
for EPCOT, the futuristic city in Florida that was Walt Disney's last
dream. This week Disney announced plans to develop an all-year
vacation resort at Independence Lake north of Lake Tahoe.
''Another project that I want to get started is a Disneyland
concept for Japan,'' said Walker. ''We've had a lot of interest from
investors who want us to come over there.
''It would not be simply a duplication of Disneyland, but something
that would be designed to make it work for that country.
''We would for example, have to figure out what to do in the
winter, since the weather is much like New York City.''

Topless 230
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - A married woman in her late 20s says she has
been going topless for the last four years when the weather is
pleasant, when she is working in her yard, driving her car or riding
a motorcycle with her husband.
The woman, mother of an 8-year-old daughter, agreed to an interview
on condition her name not be used.
The sheriff's department says it has received complaints from
neighbors, but has taken no action.
A state highway patrolman, T. L. Hooks, stopped her Sunday while
she was riding topless on a motorcycle with her husband. ''She was
topless all right,'' he said. ''There was no mistaking that. So I
pulled them over and asked where her clothes were.''
Hooks said he later let her go because there is no law prohibiting
her from being topless in public. ''I guess it's not legally indecent
to do that,'' he said, ''but I still believe it's improper. It could
cause accidents.''
The woman's husband supports her action. ''You can't have two sets
of moral values, one for men and the other for women,'' he said.
And she says: ''If a man can go without a shirt, then so can I.
There's not much difference between the chest of a man and the chest
of a woman. A little more fat on the woman, a little more hair on the
man. If anyone doesn't want to look, they don't have to. I'm not
being a showoff or anything.''

Strip Mining 220
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has voted to prohibit strip mining in
or near river beds in the West, adopting an amendment
environmentalists said strengthened proposed regulations to control
surface coal mining.
The vote Wednesday on an amendment by Rep. John Melcher, D-Mont.,
brought the House nearer to final action on the strip mining
legislation after five days of floor debate.
The House has been expected to take a final vote on the bill on
Wednesday but because of other legislation and continued delaying
tactics by opponents, was unable to devote more than about an hour to
it.
Melcher's amendment, adopted 64 to 2, would ban mining in the
proximity of the beds of rivers and streams in arid and seminarid
areas. It also would ban mining in these areas where the water table
lies so close to the surface that it supports extensive vegetation.
Melcher said the amendment would apply almost exclusively to the
West,where millions of tons of strip mineable coal underlie dry
prarie and grazing lands.
Sponsors of the strip mining bill claim they have enough votes to
pass it and send it to the Senate, which has already passed similar
legislation.

exclude British fishing vessels from the area between 12 and 50

However, it also held that Iceland and Britain are under mutual
obligation to negotiate in good faith for an equitable resolution of
their differences. It also indicated that Iceland's preferential
fishing rights as well as Britain's traditional fishing rights and
the need for conserving fishery resources must be taken into account.
In the decision, the court stipulated that Iceland's decision to
extend its exclusive fishing rights to 50 miles was not valid as
applied to Britain.
Britain had asked the court to declare that Iceland's extension of
its fishing rights was in violation of international law. The court
did not answer this claim directly, saying only that the Icelandic
decision was not valid as applied to Britain.
Fishing rights in Icelandic waters are of economic importance for
Britain's fishermen. The long-standing dispute erupted in firing
between ships in May 1973 before the matter was referred to the world
court.

Associated Press Writer
PARIS (AP) - On the last day of the fall couture shows, Andre
Courreges staged quite a performance. As usual, it wasn't so much the
clothes as the vaudeville atmosphere.
A girl dressed in a Courreges sweatsuit sat Buddha-style on a high
ledge above the stage as she held up the style numbers and pelted
ski-suited models with artificial chunks of snow.
The props included a pot steaming on the stove, a bed which sprang
out of a cupboard and narrowly missed wounding a prominent French
journalist, a spaceman and numerous oversized telephones and phone
booths which came revolving out of the walls.
In fact, one of the most interesting themes of the Courreges look
this season is inspired by the telephone.
One black vinyl evening gown is held up by a telephone cord halter,
while another is covered with telephone cord fringe attached to the
Empire Line. There is even a wide and tubular telephone cord slip
dress in aluminium foil-color vinyl.
In keeping with the soft feeling for fall, Courreges has eased up
his structured line. He makes wide soft coats in white ribbed wool
and lots of camel suits with drawstring waists. The parka, complete
with hood and long laces, runs through the collection, even in black
sheer organdie for evening with the new Courreges straight low-calf
pants.
The little white dress with low boots that carried the designer to
fame in the first place is back in a soft version at the knee with
little gathers at the yoke and on the puffed elbow sleeves.
White, camel and brown are the basic colors, except for a group of
orange and navy vinyl outfits for the slopes. These come with
sweaters, mufflers, high socks and mittens.
As a switch from the tight sweater of former seasons, the designer
has come up with a different blouse to go under his dresses held up
by straps at the shoulder. In sheer net, the blouses hug the arms
like a stocking. Some come with ribbed wool collar and cuffs.
One of them with a navy mink windbreaker and long skirt. Another
accompanies a long orange vinyl hooded cape and dress with straps
tied across the front to hide what the stocking top doesn't. The
model who wore it wisely took off the cape and held it in front of
the dress. This spoiled the view.
Courreges also does an interesting version of the bulky look. No
massive folds for him. Long white knitted dresses look as though they
were made on broomsticks instead of needles. They go with sheer white
hoods and leather bodices. The silhouette is enormous.
To show how it's done, at the opening and close of the show, the
models came out half-naked and busy knitting themselves into their
clothes with giant needles and balls of yarn.

Irish 410
By ED BLANCHE
Associated Press Writer
LONDON (AP) - The Irish Republican Army said today it had
penetrated tight security at British airports to plant a gelignite
bomb aboard a civilian airliner and wared it will do it again.
An anonymous caller claiming to speak for the Belfast brigade of
the IRA's Provisional wing telephoned news organizations and said a
two-pound bomb discovered aboard a British Airways Trident on Tuesday
was not meant to explode.
But, he warned, bombs smuggled aboard airliners in the future will
be primed.
Police offers reported that Tuesday's bomb, planted aboard the
Trident flying from Belfast to London with 92 passengers and crew,
failed to detonate because the timing device, a wristwatch did not
work.
Northern Ireland's police chief, James Flanagan, three Ulster
police heroes of the battle against terrorists in the province, and
top Protestant politician James Molyneux were among the passengers on
the plane which made an emergency landing at Manchester. The
policemen were flying to London to receive bravery awards from Queen
Elizabeth II.
The IRA warning of more bombs came as pilots of the state-run
British Airways demanded tighter security at airports, especially
Belfast's Aldergrove field. Some crews have refused to fly to Belfast
until the security net is tightened.
Concern increased Wednesday when another Belfast-bound plane was
reported to have a bomb aboard. It was searched before take off from
Manchester, 200 miles northwest of London, but no explosives were
found.
British Airways operates 25 flights a day to Belfast from British
cities. Tuesday's incident triggered an immediate security drive.
Pilots of all airlines that fly into Belfast refused to allow
passengers to take hand baggage on board planes at Aldergrove or for
cleaning crews to work on planes there. No food supplies are taken on
in Belfast.
Authorities at other British airports banned all hand luggage on
Belfast-bound flights except women's handbags.
Aldergrove, which guerrillas have rocketed and bombed, has one of
the most stringent security nets in the world.
All passengers are searched at least twice, luggage is closely
checked and only passengers with tickets are allowed in the main
terminal. Troops and police ring the airport, which has a closely
guarded military section.

MIAMI, Fla. (AP) - Dade County Mayor Jack Orr died of cancer today
after a four-month battle during which friends raised money to help
pay his mounting medical bills. He was 54.
Orr had undergone treatment with drugs since learning in April that
he had inoperable bone cancer. He died at the Miami Heart Institute,
officials said.
Friends said Orr was heavily in debt and had virtually no financial
assets. A benefit soccer game held last month raised more than
$60,000 to help pay his medical bills.
Orr was married seven times, twice to Rosyln Cooper, whom he
divorced for the second time in January 1973. He was recently
separated from his sixth wife.
When a state legislator in 1956, Orr cast the only House vote
agaist a bill intended to preserve segregation.
He is survived by his widow, Priscilla, and four children from
previous marriages.

Hanna 400, Two Takes Total 830
By TONY BAKER
Associated Press Writer
UTICA, N.Y. (AP) - When Edward A. Hanna was elected mayor of this
city seven months ago he found that ''I had no friends, no enemies -
I just had a job to do.''
Since then the 51-year-old outspoken, populist mayor has made
plenty of both.
Hanna claims 87 per cent of the people are behind him, yet he
continually finds himself at odds with the City Council, the Chamber
of Commerce and the city's two newspapers.
As Utica's first independent mayor since 1885, Hanna has cast aside
tradition and the established political structure in favor of a
straightforward, nothing-swept-under-the-rug ''people's government.''
The gravelly voiced mayor, who was born and raised here and says he
didn't go past the 10th grade, claims he's obligated to no one and
says that ''no politician, no newspaper, no 'Chamber of no Commerce'
is going to scare me off.'' He says he is working first and foremost
for ''the little guy.''
Hanna's opponents accuse him of everything from one-man government
to erratic behavior. They say he is unable to delegate authority and
changes policy from day to day.
Hanna replies: ''I took this job because I was thoroughly
disillusioned with the phonies and the bluebloods and the fakers in
this city who did nothing for the people. It's time to stop playing
games. We've got to look at ourselves as a community in trouble. The
sooner we do the sooner we'll get this lousy town back on its feet.''
A sign on the wall behind the mayor's desk proclaims, ''This city
government belongs to the people.'' The fast-talking Hanna has opened
his office to everyone.
''I've had reporters come in here who helped me open y mail and
left with a better story than they were after,'' Hanna says.
He had the door to his office removed for several months, but later
had it reinstalled because ''I was getting too many drunks in here
who slowed me up.''
No issue is too petty to warrant Hanna's personal attention. He is,
by his own definition, ''a tireless, hard worker'' who regularly
toils 16 hours a day and commands the same kind of dedication from
those who work for him.
His office is often jammed with everyone from citizens concerned
about his health to those complaining of no toilet tissue at a city
playground restroom.

The mayor is a wealthy, self-made businessman who says he made his
money from such diverse interests as a rope factory, a photo
equipment factory and promotion of photo vending machines.
He takes home only $1 of his $20,000 annual salary and has been
known to write personal checks to cover city expenses.
Hanna didn't waste any time setting in motion his ''people's
government.'' In his first three weeks in office, he cut 225 employes
from the city payroll after he found their work could be done more
efficiently by fewer persons.
More recently he predicted the city would wind up in the black at
the end of the year and city taxpayers would realize a healthy tax
reduction - the first tax cut in a nonelection year in 28 years.
Hanna's prediction was a welcome announcement in this central New
York city, the fourth-highest taxed city in the state, where
unemployment stands at about 12 per cent and economic growth long has
been at a near standstill.
Hanna at one time banned tape recorders from all news conferences.
He also ordered that all questions from newsmen had to be in writing
and signed, and he would then answer them in writing. Those policies
have disappeared and during one week he held five news conferences.
Some critics claim the mayor is not keeping his campaign promises,
noting that he promised monthly employe seminars and public
announcements on the hiring of employes. Critics say he has not
conducted the seminares and his only announcements about employes
concern firings.
Although no formal plans have been revealed, Hanna has proposed
several times the construction of La Promenade, a European-flavored
downtown project which he envisions would have 60 to 90 commercial
stores, residential houses and fountains. But a survey showed that
Utica merchants favor a plan proposed by the Mohawk Valley
Association for Progress, the new name for the area Chamber of
Commerce.
Although he claims there is ''not one ounce of politics in this
city government,'' politics is not new to the mayor.
He was elected last November with less than 40 per cent of the
vote, defeating a Conservative and the Republican incumbent. He says
he's never accepted a nickel from anybody and that he financed his
entire campaign for less than $5,000.
Former Gov. W. Averell Harriman appointed Hanna to the Central New
York Park Commission in 1955, and he was city parks commissioner from
1958-60. He was elected as a Democrat to the state Assembly in 1965,
but lost a bid for re-election.

suburban school districts, but not by the Detroit district, which
is about 64 per cent black.
The same question came before the Supreme Court last year in a case
arising in Richmond, Va.
The court deadlocked 4-4 in the Richmond case, with Justice
Lewis Powell, a former member of the Richmond school board,
abstaining.

Today's decision does set a legal precedent.
Burger said it seemed clear that Roth and the U.S. Circuit Court
in Cincinnati, which upheld his decision, ''shifted the primary
focus from a Detroit remedy to the metropolitan area only because of
their conclusion that total desegregation of Detroit would not
produce the racial balance which they perceived as desirable.''
''Entirely apart from the logistical and other serious
problems attending large-scale transportation of students, the
consolidation would give rise to an array of other problems in
financing and operating this new school system,'' Burger said.
He said the problems would include the authority of the present
school boards, equality of tax levies, validity of bonds and the
control of curriculum.
''To approve the remedy ordered by the court would impose on the
outlying districts, not shown to have committed any constitutional
violation, a wholly impermissible remedy,'' said Burger.
Burger said that even if state officials were responsible for
segregation, as held by the lower court, ''it does not follow that an
interdistrict remedy is constitutionally justified or required.''

Nixon-Court Lead - Precede San Clemente a029 200
WASHINGTON (AP) - Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski was expected to
meet with U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica later today to set
terms for delivery of tapes and documents of the 64 Watergate
conversations the Supreme Court directed President Nixon to
surrender.
A spokesman indicated Jaworski would seek prompt compliance with
the historic high court directive despite presidential attorney
James St. Clair's statement that a ''time-consuming process'' was
needed to prepare the tapes.
The spokesman said the special prosecutor's office believes 33 of
the 64 tapes are virtually ready to be turned over.
Of these, 20 were included in the partial White House transcripts
released last Spring, 12 others were given Nixon by appointments
secretary Stephen Bull at that time and a partial transcript of
one was supplied the House Judiciary Committee by St. Clair last
week, the spokesman added.
Nixon announced his decision to comply with the ruling ''in all
respects'' in a statement issued through St. Clair at the Western
White House in San Clemente, Calif. eight hours after the court
issued its 8-0 ruling Wednesday.
While I am disappointed in the result, I respect and accept the
court decision, and I have instructed Mr. St. Clair to take
whatever measures are necessary to comply with that decision in all
respects,'' Nixon said.
The President had challenged Jaworski's subpoena for the tapes
and materials. The special prosecutor said they were needed for
the Watergate cover-up trial of six former White House and campaign
aides, scheduled to start Sept. 9. The defendants include H. R.
Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman and John N. Mitchell.
After the tapes and documents are submitted to Judge Sirica, he
must screen them for relevance before making them available to
Jaworski.

All four dissenting justices joined Marshall's dissent as
well as a separate dissent by Justice Byron R. White, who said the
court's ruling ''will leave serious violations of the Constitution
substantially unremedied.''
Douglas, in a separate, lone dissent, said, ''we have now
given the states a formula whereby the poor must pay their own way.''
''The inner core of Detroit is now rather solidly blacks;
and the blacks, we know, in many instances are likely to be poorer,''
Douglas wrote.
Marshall said the court majority ''seems to have forgotten the
district court's explicit finding that a Detroit-only decree,
the only remedy permitted under today's decision, 'would not
accomplish desegregation'.''
Marshall said that under previous decisions of the Supreme Court
''it was clearly proper for the district court to take into
account the so-called 'white flight' from the city schools which
would be forthcoming from any Detroit-only decree.
''Under a Detroit-only decree, Detroit schools will clearly
remain racially identifiable in comparison with neighboring
schools in the metropolitan area,'' Marshall said.
''Schools with 65 per cent and more Negro students will stand in
sharp and obvious contrast to schools in neighboring districts
with less than 2 per cent Negro enrollment,'' he said.
''The rippling effects on residential patterns caused by purposeful
acts of segregation do automatically not subside at the school
district border,'' Marshall wrote.
''Today's holding, I fear, is more a reflection of a perceived
public mood that we have gone far enough in enforcing the
Constitution's guarantee of equal justice than it is the product
of netrual principles of law,'' Marshall said.
''In the short run, it may seem to be the easier course to
allow our great metropolitan areas to be divided up each into
two cities - one white, the other black - but it is a course, I
predict, our people will ultimately regret,'' Marshall said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Winding through day and night impeachment debate,
the house Judiciary Committee today heard a Republican plead for
fairness to President Nixon and a Democrat urge his ouster for ''open
and notorious defience of the law.''
Opening the second round of the nationally televised colloquy, Republican
Rep. Chalres E. Wiggins of Californa6a declared Nixon ''is entitled
to a presumption of innocence.''
The second speaker, Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, countered
that Nixon must be removed from office ''to restore to our government
the proper balance of constitutional power and serve notice to all
future presidents that such abuse of conduct . . . never again be tolerated.''
At specific issue was a two-article resolution of impeachment
charging Nixon with obstruction of justice and other abuses of the
presidency including contempt of Congress.
Not since 1868, when Andrew Johnson was exonerated by the Senate,
had any such effort to remove a President gotten so far.
Conyers, one of the outspoken Nixon critics on the committee,
charged the President was responsible for ''wholesale violation of
the constitutional rights of citizens.''
He also sharply criticized Nixon's refusal to comply with the panel's
subpoenas, declaring: ''Unto this day the President is in open
and notorious defiance of the law because he has failed to comply
with the directives of this committee to produce the documents that
we needed . . .''
Wiggin's plea for fairness came despite Tuesday's claim from other

AUSTERLITZ, N.Y. (AP) - Eight-year-old Mary Losaw is back at her
rural upstate home, nearly three months after she was abducted.
The fourth grader was reunited with her family at the Albany County
Airport shortly before midnight Wednesday when she arrived with her
mother on a flight from South Dakota.
Mary began sobbing when she saw one of her sisters at the airport.
Most of the family was crying as they embraced the girl.
She was abducted May 1. Authorities found her in a cafe in Nisland,
S.D., after they arrested Edward Spencer, of Spencertown, N.Y.,
walking along a road nearby.
Spencer was charged with kidnaping. He was in a Rapid City, S.D.,
jail on $50,000 bond, pending his return to New York State.
Mary was well taken care of during her time away from home,
according to her mother, Lorraine Losaw, who said the girl had gained
weight since her abduction. She also came home with a white poodle
that had been given to her in Wisconsin.
It was ''real great'' to be home, Mary said in Albany.
When asked what she had been doing since her abduction, she
replied, ''Well, Ed was working and we were just traveling around.''
Spencer was described by Mrs. Losaw as a friend of the family. FBI
officials reportedly asked the Losaws not to comment on the suspect's
possible motives. Spencer was arraigned in South Dakota on a federal
warrant charging him with unlawful flight. He was reported to have
waived extradition to New York and is expected to return on Friday.
Mrs. Losaw said Mary was discovered missing shortly after returning
home from school. She said Spencer told other children with her to go
into the house to change their clothes, but he called Mary back.
Mrs. Losaw said she realized shortly afterwards that her daughter
was missing.

Prison Hostages 2nd Lead 180
By JIM BARLOW
Associated Press Writer
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. (AP) - Prison officials began moving tear gas
equipment today into a state prison unit where armed convicts
threatened to kill 10 hostages.
W. J. Estelle Jr., director of the Texas Department of Corrections,
said the situation was ''stable,'' and ''negotiations are going on by
telephone.'' He refused comment about the equipment.
An armed takeover of a third-floor library was led by Fred Gomez
Carrasco, a prisoner serving a life sentence, prison authorities
said.
Prison information director Ron Taylor, when asked about reports of
shooting, said no one had been shot and killed. But when asked if no
one had been shot, he responded, ''I'm not saying that.''
Taylor went back inside the ivy-covered prison fortress when asked
to comment on the presence of tear gas equipment.
Early today prison guards began bringing into the downtown prison
compound three gas generators, gas mask boxes and what appeared to be
a supply of weapons.
Authorities said seven convicts were with the hostages, but one of
the convicts was not believed to be an active participant in the
rebellion.

NEW YORK (AP) - Plagued for several years by economic uncertainty,
a depressed stock market and a loss of investor confidence, the
nation's mutual funds seeme to have found at least one reason to
cheer in June.
Redemptions of shares in that month dropped to $275.6 million, the
Investment Company Institute reported, the lowest figure since'
January 1971. It was almost enough to convince some funds that the
turn had come.
Then the analysts got to thinking, and they came up with this
explanation: investors simply postponed their redemption plans
because prices were too low. They didn't want to accept their losses.
If that is so, it leaves the funds in a rather curious position. If
prices remain low, then so will redemptions. But if the price of
mutual fund shares rise, then redemptions might rise also.
The goal of any mutual fund is to secure for its investors the
highest return, but in doing so a fund conceivably could lose some of
those investors. It's a symbol of the mixed up state of affairs in
the financial world.

An unrelated but equally mystifying development concerns the
decision by the New York Bank for Savings to publicly offer debt
securities with a guaranteed interest rate of 10 per cent through
May.
The decision seemed to be in response to an offering of $650 in
high interest notes by Citicorp, the parent of First National City
Bank, a commercial as opposed to savings bank.
The savings banks and savings and loan associations were distressed
by Citicorp's move, claiming it would cause them to lose deposits.
And if they lost deposits, they argued, they would be even less able
to fulfill their function of granting hzme mortgage loans.
Which brings up the point: Since the main business of savings
institutions is to accept depositors' money and lend it out to
homebuyers at anywhere from 8.5 to about 9.5 per cent these days, how
can they afford to pay 10 per cent to acquire money?
No immediate explanation was forthcoming, but there was such
speculation among moneymen that somebody must expect mortgage rates
t rise too.

There's nothing puzzling about what happened to wages after the
removal of controls on April 30. They went up.
During 1973, when controls were in effect the entire year, the
negotiated median wage gain in collective bargaining agreements was
22.9 per cents an hour for the January-June period.
This year the rate, which is for wage gains in the initial year of
contracts, some of which extend for two or three years, was 28.5
cents an hour, according to the Bureau of National Affairs, Inc.

Karen Cuenca, l9, her husband, Edward, 22, and 13-year-old Kelly

''I ran out of the apartment and a couple of detectives grabbed us
and said they wanted to talk to us. They took us down the street and
into the manager's apartment for questioning and then let us go.''
The guns were owned by a friend, Chris Garza, 21, who also lived in
the apartment, said Mrs. Cuenca. ''They're hunting rifles,'' she
said. ''Chris likes to hunt.''
Garza was not in the apartment, but police said after the four-hour

Scotus-Detroit 2nd Lead
By W. DALE NELSON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a decision likely to have strong impact on
future school desegregation, the Supreme Court today
threw out a cross-district school integration plan for Detroit
and 52 suburban districts.
The court ruled 5 to 4 that the late U.S. District Judge Stephen
Roth erred in ordering a desegregation plan embracing both Detroit
and its suburban districts and
ordered the lower court to devise a desegregation plan for
Detroit only.
The court said multidistrict integration plans may be imposed only
where there is a finding that all district involved failed to
operated integrated school systems.
The Supreme Court said there was no evidence that the
Detroit-area suburban district were not integrated.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski asked U.S.
DIstrict Judge John J. Sirica today to order gpresident Nixon
to turn over within the next two to 10 days the 64 Watergate
tapes and documents the Supreme Court said Nixon must surrender.
In a motion submitted to Sirica, Jaworski presented a proposed time
schedule for compliance with Wednesday's historic Supreme Court order.
Jaworski said failure to comply quickly would prevent the
start of the Watergate cover-up trial Sept. 9, for which
Jaworski sought the tapes as evidence.
The motion noted that 33 of the 64 conversations ''apparently have
been reviewed by the President and perhaps other White House
personnel.''
''The government submits that no valid reason why the tapes of these
33 conversations should not be delivered to the Court immediately,''
the Jaworski motion added.
''The government further submits that granting of this motion is
critical if the trial of this case is to commence on Sept. 9, 1974,''
the motion continued.

Reinecke a083 Lead 260
By JANET STAIHAR
Associated Pess Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - An expert stenotypist, testifying for the defense
in the perjury trial of California Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke, said today
he found 168 deviations in six pages of key Senate transcript and
that almost all of them pertained to punctuation.
The witness, Frank O. Nelson, of Los Angeles, said that only two
deviations in the official record were words. He is past president of
the California Court Reporters Association and owns a related
business in California.
Reinecke is accused of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee two
years ago about his role in trying to secure the 1972 Republican
National Convention for San Diego.
Nelson, questioned by defense attorney James E. Cox, said he
examined on three occasions the notes of the stenotypist who recorded
the Reinecke testimony and found ''there are portions of the notes
that are not completely intelligible without insertions in ink.''
He testified that he found 39 ink insertions in the portion of the
transcript on which the indictment is based and there were
''approximately 168 deviations between notes and the transcript.''
U.S. District Court Judge Barrington Parker asked Nelson to
specifically point out word deviations. Nelson said that once the
stenotypist machine notes read, ''hold convention'' while the printed
transcript reads, ''hold the convention.''
Another instance, Nelson said, the stenotypist symbol is ''als''
which he said is an abbreviation for ''always.'' But in the
transcript, he said, the word appears in printed form as ''as.''
He said there are no other deviations in the key portion of the
transcript except for the punctuation.
Earlier, California State Assemblyman Willie L. Brown Jr., a San
Francisco Democrat, testified as a character witness, saying ''in the
political arena you can rely on Ed Reinecke.''
Brown shook hands with Reinecke, a Republican, after he left the
witness stand. The judge was displeased by this and instructed the
jury to disregard it.
The transcript: 5th graf.

''We're delighted. We feel it's a tremendous victory for us,'' said
Dr. Eugene Spencer, superintendent of the Clawson district
and president of the suburban Detroit school districts association.
''We're not guilty of any wrongdoing and never have been,'' he
said. ''No evidence has ever been produced that any suburban
school district was guilty of denying admittance to any
child because of race, creed or color. That's the key to the
case and I think the Supreme Court has upheld our position on
that.''
''The Supreme Court elected not to attempt to resolve the very
difficult racial problems by lega and rational means,'' said
Dr. Cornelius L. Golightly, president of the Detroit school
board.
''By doing so, it means that minorities must go the route of
buttressing their positions by any necessary economic and
political resources to bring about change,'' said Golightly,
who is black.
Detroit School Supt. Charles Wolfe said the action ''adds
directly to the difficulty of the situation. This means more
time, more decisions, more to do.''
Rep. Robert J. Huber, R-Mich., whose district was involved in the
case, said he was very pleased with the decision.
''I'm particularly pleased with some of the comments, like
'local control of public education in this country is a deeply
rooted tradition','' Huber said. ''That's what we've said all
along.''
However, he added that he wished the decision had not been
such a close one.
Huber called for continued efforts to secure antibusing
legislation, preferably a constitutional amendment.
''I don't think we can let down one bit,'' he said.
Following today's decision, which wound up its business for the
current term, the court adjourned until Oct. 7.

Impeachment Bjt 4th Lead
By JOHN BECKLER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Winding through day and night debate, the House
Judiciary Committee heard more members today declare their
positions for or against the impeachment of President
Nixon - with no surprises in the emerging lineup.
A Republican pleaded for fairness to Nixon; a Democrat urged his
ouster for ''open and notorious defiance of the law; a
Republican expected to be a key swing vote merely listed
his tests for an impeachable offense.
As an opening round of speeches given in order of seniority neared
its halfway mark, there had been no indications of change in any
member's anticipated vote.
The epic debate is expected to culminate in voting this weekend
that would send the impeachment question to the House of
Representatives for a vote on whether Nixon should stand trial
in the Senate for Watergate and other charged offenses.
Only once, a century ago, has a President stood trial
in jeopardy of his job.
Opening the second round of the nationally broadcast colloquy,
began Wednesday night, Rep. Charles E. Wiggins, R-Calif., declared
Nixon ''is entitled to a presumption of innocence.''
And later, Wiggins was given additional time by a fellow
Republican Hamilton Fish Jr. of New York to continue a
detailed recitation of why various charges against Nixon
should not bring impeachment.
Rep John Conyers of Mchigan confirmed he will vote for
impeachment, declaring that Nixon must be removed ''to restore to
our government the proper balance of constitutional power and
serve notice to all future presidents that such abuse of
conduct . . . never again be tolerated.''
Fish did not say how he will vote. But he concluded a listing of
philosophical and legal considerations by declaring: ''If the
evidence is clear, then our constitutional duty is no less clear.''
Confirming past indications, Reps. Joshua Eilberg, D-Pa., and
Jerome R. Waldie, D-Calif., said Nixon should be impeached.
Rep Daiv W. Dennis, R-Ind., called impeachment ''radical surgery
on a cancer that needs therapy at the roots.'' He said the
President should be retained and Congressional attention devoted to
campaign reform, fighting inflation and other problems.

Presidential attorney James St. Clair, in announcing Nixon's
decision Wednesday night to comply with the historic Supreme
Court order, said ''a time-consuming process'' was needed to
prepare the materials.
The Jaworski motion said 20 of the conversations covered in the
massive White House transcripts released in late April should be
delivered within two days and that 18 others, including 13
already reviewed by the President, be delivered within six days.
For the remaining 26 conversations, the prosecutor asked for
compliance within 10 days.
Jaworski noted in his brief that more than three months have
passed since he first sought the tapes and documents and
two months have passed since Sirica ordered the materials
turned over, the directive that led to Wednesday's 8-0 high
court verdict.
Twice since, Jaworski noted, ''the special prosecutor has written
to the President's counsel requesting that in the interest of the
due administration of justice and in order to obviate
unnecessary pre-trial delay, some review of the subpoenaed
materials be instituted while the litigation'' was being
considered.
There was no reference to a response to the requests but it was
understood Jaworski had received responses that neither accepted
nor rejected them.
Earlier, a spokesman for Jaworski had said the special
prosecutor's office believed 33 of the 64 conversations were
virtually ready to be turned over.
