September Hr, ftn Chile’s Military Ousts Marxist President Allende a Salvador Allende’s legacy mixes chaos, social change By JAMES NELSON COOUSBLL BUENOS AIRES Major social ir. ! cc nonnc change� for Chile, together with mas- five financial chaos aod deepening political polariOrtioo, ate the legacies that Salvador Allende bequeathes ha nation. With the events of his last 44 hours. In- cluding the circumstances of Dr. Allende’s Heath, still unclear, there is no mistaking these legacies facing Chile and Chileans. It is too early to assess them fully — but In the uake of tne military coup that brought down the constitutional Allende government Sept it, Dr. Allend©' apparent suicide could itself prove to be the most serious legacy that Chileans in general ar.d the military in particular have to deal with. IT COL'l-D well ir.ako something of a martyr of the man who styled himself tbo comrade president.'' Had he merely been placed under arrest or sent packing Into exile. Dr. Allende's posi- tion would in some measure have been typi- cal of that o! most deposed Latin Americas leader . His passing has robhed Chile's mili- tary of that possibility - and clearly ex- acerbates the situation m which tie military finds itself ia taking over the government Just how the military plans to bring some order out of the legacy of political and econorrl? chaos now so evident in Chile is far from clear. Gen Augusto Pinochet Ugarte. who emerges as the trader of the military Junta replacing Dr. Allende. may well have nc real plans. From a!i indications, while the coup d'etat has net come a a surprise, much of military preoccupation In recent weeks has dealt with the mere act of ousting Dr. Al- lcnde from La Moncda, the Spanish colonial building in the heart of Santiago that has been Chile's stalehcusc since the JS2bs. SANTIAGO REPORTS indica'.© that the building was severely damaged and burred out during a joint air force and army attack on :t the morning of Sept 11. Tne military obviously is concerned about the rampart terrorism of recent months, which ties in with the deep political polarization of the nation into two camps Im- post! ion of martial law and a curfew during the day as well as at night was evidence of this concern. Reports reaching Buenos Aires Sept. 13 Indicated that the military was busily en- gaged in skirmishes throughout Santiago with Allende-supparting terrorists, and that “sui- cide bands” of leftists have taken to the streets. THE NEW MILITARY commanders in- itially closed all borders ami no planes were flying into Santiago's International Airport or into any other Chilean airport. The military commanders wanted to euro the situation before opening th« frontiers. They had the muscle to do so - a 1 though it was rot expected to be an easy task Difficult as this task is proving and will continue to prove in the days ahead, how- ever. the job of solving the legacy of chaos left by Dr. Allende will prove more strenuous. The economic aod political problems am well known. They include rampant inflation now running at JCO per cent a year, a SO per cent reduction in industrial activity, and a 40 per cent drop in agrlcukural production Countless factories have been taken over by their workers, both before and since the coup d'etat. It will take time and patience to solve these problems. AT TIIE SAME TIME, another legacy of Dr. Allende's should prove mere permanent. He and ha popular unity coalition gov ernmen: of Communists and Socialists in 34 months in office took Chile a long way along the road to socialism. Much of the nation's economy is now in state hands. Som? 60 per cent of the nation's industry and at Iea3t one third of its land was transferred from private to public ownership during these months. Moreover, foreign business and economic activity, especially that from the U S., has all but d appeared. THERE ALSO was a significant stride mado toward redistributing Chile's wealth from the middle and upper income brackets to the lower income brackets. Various eco- nomic policies, including wage controls, were responsible. These changes are likely to remain — and the military in its takeover announce- ment has indicated that they will. In addition. Dr. Allende's exp«nmMt ©f brirging socialism to Chile through legal con- stitutional means has had a major impact throughout Latin Ame-ica. In a som Ms election in 1970 and the way in which he aod his colleagues con- ducted their government haj made political activity by Communists and Socialists ir. oth- er Latin Amer.con countries more respect- able, although Chile’s neighbors have watched Chile's troubles over recent months with mounting concern.

We've had to play detective to track them down. He believes he ha remedied this situation from happening a- gairs. We're alerting the cows waders of the importance of having lew incomplete . We’re trying to make ure the student finish the work in the time al- lotted. It’s mainly a matter of supervision We won’t let It h:.p- pen again ” The twenty-three year ve- teran of the teaching war is also trying to stem the tide of criti- cism against student generated courses by vome member of li t faculty. My recommendation to course leaden was to improve their own background in the firWT to seek the advice of experienc'd faculty in the field We wanted to strengthen the role of the course leader.” When discussing the future of the school, the new Direc- tor alternately displayed optimism and pessimism.

A carload of beef went on sale for as low as 99 cents a pound for sirloin. Purchases were limit- ed to five pounds per customer. (L'PI) Glick Wows 'Em In Pittsburgh With Beef At 1940's Prices For old times’ sake? PITTSBURGH. Pa. (AP) - An erti- mated 600 persons besieged Charley Glick's butcher shop before opening Monday. Some had been standing in line outside most of the night. Glick’s attraction to the customers was simple. He was selling steak fer V9 cents a pound, chuck roast and ground beef at 69 cents a pound and short ribs for 59 cents a pound. Some 50,000 pounds of beef at half the usual price. J’ll lose money, but the public de- serves a break. Glick said as be began soiling the meat at what he said were IMS prices. ‘Click's taking a loess and. it's my gain,” said customer Thomas Lawrence. “He’s a nice guy and he’s giving Pitts- burgh a break. ' Click says he cut h� s prices because “peoplo haven’t had a chance to cat meat at today's prices.” A bargain basement sale atmosphere surrounded Click’s meat counter as cus- tomers jostled, shouted and occasionally lost their tempers in taking advantage of the price bargains. Wo got here at 2 a n� ., said Bob Skulman, ore of a group of fraternity men from Cornegic-Mcllon University. We've been on a fish ar.d turkey diet for the last two weeks because of the meat eris� and we’re tired cf it. Shut- nun said. He ar.d his fraternity brothers had comped in front of the market’s door through the chilly night, playing cards ar.d typing. ________________ We even went to peep shows to pass time. Shulnan said. “We came down here last night and were going to bring sleeping bags,’’ said two housewives waiting in the line which stretched for two blocks. But we decided to wait until this morning,said Margaret Lewis. She and her friend, Jan Copeland, joined the line about 6 a.m. to buy T-bonc steaks. Steak tastes better at 99 cents a pound, Mrs. Lewis said. Glick claims there arc no gimmicks. This i; a carload of USDA top choice grade beef, be said. He says the sale will continue for a couple of days because wo'ro limiting how much a customer can buy to five steaks and five pounds of other cuts. Contra cepti ves Hold Women’s Activities Under Pressure The Contraceptives, one of the more colorful teams in this fall’s intramural soccer league, opened up this reason with a bone, holding the Hoes to a 1-1 tic.

The Hogs initial UJIy was scored by game MVP Bud Foss (who, inci- dently. it a member of the Con- traceptives) on a mix-up in front of the goal mouth. When inter- viewed after the game'Foss shrug- ged it off, saying, Tt was the least I could do. The tying score came on a pen- ally kick by Dick Coffey in the se- cond half.

Although he disclosed that action had been taken on all three of these issues, no final resolution ha beer, reached on any of them. The Longly Report issued sixty- four recommendations to the Univer- sity of Main Board of Trustees which recommended sweeping charges in the university system Right of these recommendations dealt with the Portland-Gorham branch. Of these eight recommenda- tions. one was rejected outright, another hud already been adopted, a third had been partially put into practice and the jury was still de- clared out on the rest. A report from the Board of Trustees about the study and the recommendations for the Portland-Gorham campus appear in this issue. The Maine Management and Cost Survey Commission rccom mend that the voter approved 1.4 million dollar science facility be moved to Gorham. Thus suggestion was turned down. Action on the building has already begun. said Fridinger, We're just beginning work with the architects and hope to start construction on it next spring. Recommendation No. 36 concern- ing Utilization of the present com- ulcrized student accounting system buy less expensively in Gorham than m Portland. But the land bough tin Gorham would probably be undrrvelop- ed land so we would have to drain it. build sewage systems and build oaas t .......................... for the has been already done before the survey came out Recommendation No. 31 dealt with the completion of the Joint Action Cotnmuason’s study on University Goals and Directions and the adoption of overall objectives for Portland-Gorham. ‘The Joint Action Commission completed their and pave ---------------- „ Portland these things are already there. We use their sow agesyitemiand the town maintains the roads. “All in all this is a complex pro- cedure and we do not have the an- swers. The problem hae been here (or years. Wc hope to have a master plan in the foreseeable futute.” The major problem in replying to the the recommendation� was the general lack of data in the Longley Report, Fridinger pointed out. We were given just enough information to Sily to the Report, Wc need more ormatton about what data they used. We hive to know what they St talked about . As It stands now 50% of the sixty-eight recommendations were approved, twenty-six needed further study and only -tight were disapproved The Acting President said he will not suffer from any lack of informa- tion if he had to make a decision on SCOGIS as his “modus operand: a to get enough information and then make a decision. If the University Council meet in the near future and iurecommendaiion reaches the President’s desk before November 1. Fridinger will likely act upon it. Mi'ler said to me not to .slow up anytning, to keep UMPG moving and don’t wait for decision to be made by him. Dr. Mac Leod is trying to speed up the recommenda- tions to be presented before the Continuing Education Divisior Council. He (Mac Leod) wants a tt implemented. This was destcion on this matter one way or the other before wc get very for along in thi planning for next semes- ter. sa:d Fridinger. When asked what he would do if the University Council reversed the stand of Mac I .cod and the Deans and recommended that SCOGIS be continued past this semester he study and some of their recommends- stated, A recommendation from lions have already been adopted. Fridinger added that tho new Presi- dent will develop more fully the goals and missions of this University. The rest of the recommendations fell into the category of further study Nos. 62 and 37 drew quit� a bit of comment form the Acting President. The latter suggestion proposes that the post of university archivist be abolished while the formerurges that Gorham be developed as the center of general academic programs and administration. The position of university archivist created at the time of the merger, marks by Fndtngcr. Beforethe� , merger the records of the university just piled up in basements, closets or file cabinet . We had a lot of exce� paper and sometimes things were thrown away that shouldn’t have been Now the plan u that at certain stated intervals, all papers axe sent to Marge Dura! (the archivist! the University Council does not mean it is. mandatory for me to act. But I'll say this, I would take the recom- mendation from the Council saying it should continue and go back and •hrash this out with the Deans and Vice-President, to see if some com- promise couldn't be affected. 1 would also seek further information on the problem. Fridinger said. he couldn't say when asked what his decision would be tf the Council also agreed that SCOGIS should be discontinued after this semester. Tho issues arc more dearcut con- cerning the shuttle buses. It was apparent to everyone who rode, the buses that a third was desperately ncc-dcd. A third bus has now been added, the only problem is how to pay for it. I don't know where the money k coming from but this was some- we had to have. We had to thing we had to have, we nan to think of tin- safety of students, as for inspection when they are no longe “1 r.cedwfm the day to day operation b htoT’ The money could come from the of the school. She goes throuxh the records and keeps about 10% wh:ch she tay is important. This ts just good business practice These records should be kept if people want to study the University. Designating Gorham a the chief campus is a subject for much discus sion and debate. Fridinger pointed out some of the practical aspect of tho problem. We’ve talked to our resident engineers and the university system’s engineers and they felt wc could add several more buildings in Gorham. But It would be a definite number unless wo bought more land. Tne sewage and heating plants :n Gorham arc operating close to capacity We could add more buildings in Port- land without more lapd but parking would be a problem. Yet we have the space to devise more parking In unit costs, we could probably President’s contingency fund, however Fndingerdtsckywd that this year only $12,500 was allotted to this furid com- pared to the $50,000 allocated last year. The amount needed for the third bus is in the range of $7-8,000. An attempt to pay for this conveyance entirely out of the fund would for all intents and purposes bankrupt it, Fridinger felt. He aid suggest u possible solution though When you’re dealing with a multi million dollar budget, there' a little flexibility. Some project wc would have started this year, will just have to be put off this year. In a moment cf reflection on being President. Fridinger uidl I've made a lot of decisions and I only hope a percentage of them are good ones. by Hike Ksralunot SPORTS Fall Baseball Underway Hie Red Flops battled St. Joes to a 14 to 14 deadlock in a hotter season opener.

Can a program that narrowly es- caped the executioner'� ax once, be so fortunate the second time around0 Will the University Council and even- tually the President, be it Walter Fridingeror S’. Kdd Miller, (flve this Brogram the thumbs up? Will Ed lansen, the new director of the threatened inter-disciplinary school, develop a plan of action that will enable it to grow and prosper? The chances of positive answers for these questions dimmed consid- erable when Neville Wilson resigned as director of SCOG1S (school of General and Inter-disciplinary Stu- dies) last June 20. With his resigna- tion came a plan to dismantle the entire program A meeting of ail the USM Deans and Vice-President William J. Mac I .cod on July 1 devel- oped two options for SCOGIS. One was to search for a replacement for Wtldon and continue the program for at least one more year, while the other called for dismantling it but retaining those courses in which stu- dent were already working. The consensus favored the latter option. MacLeod proffered two bodies of thought about this recom- mendation to the President. It must be remembered that the original purpose of SCOCiS was to stimulate innovation in the University community and to provide educational alternatives for bothe students and faculty. It was expected that much of the high quality innovation which took tilace in SCOGIS would find Its way back into the departments and schools and be- come a part of the curriculum. It x undoubtedly true that some of this has taken place In any event, it is now the caw that other academic units of the Uni- versity have developed alterna- ti u vie for hoth students and fac ulty. For example, the 99 num- bers in the catalogue, have been used extensively by departments; Independent study has become a more frequently used device for students: and the College of Liberal Arts has developed university and departmental honors trpek. a liberal studies major, a self-designed major. and n wnes of coursesundor the general category of the College of Liberal Arts. In educational terms, then, the University is much freer and, 1 am confident, developing higher quality in its instructional program than it pruessed at the time of the merger.’ He also cited a quote from Paul Dresscl, a national expert on exper- mental schools, who wrote ’New Colleges: Toward An Appraisal' 'Generally,! have been disheart- ened by the gap between the ideals as originally planned or as la' r portrayed in literature and speeches and the reality. Original plans seem to be ig- nored as such new unit de- veloped because each adminis- trator and his faculty tend to mold the program to fit their own prejudices Without de- fining the goals of education In terms of expected impact on students, they rush into de- signing new course and be- come fascinated with new forms of experience and especially group interactions, the ration- ales for which are unclear and the educational result of which are uncertain. They become quickly as irresponsible and as arrogant as their colleagues in traditional unit in insisting that they must run their own show . ' This recommendation was a rever- sal of his previous one. In that May statement. MacLeod suggested to the President that SCOGIS be re- tained for at least two yean at the same level of funding. Yet just as •hi recommendation was scrapped so id o was the second. Intending to follow his second. recommend lion fully, he sent out letters of inquiry August 6 to the home of every full time faculty mem- ber. asking for a teacher to step for ward as uirector of SCOGIS and supervise the remnant of the pro- gram The professor to heed the 'call was Ed Hansen, interviewed in the September 18 issue of the Free Press. At this time, however, MacLeod's v-.ew on SCOCIS charges dramatically. Wt were going to send out let- ters of cancellation to the stu dents in SCOGIS but I looked up the schedule of every student enrolled in a SCOGIS course. I found there were 104 students taking one course, one was tak- ing four course� , four student had three courses, and eleven had two courses. Here we were in the second week of August and at this lime I just decided that it was too late to cancel these courses. It would me� up many student's schedules.' ‘Harden had been involved in SCOGIS and knew about the program. I had three separate meetings with him, in which 1 learned about what had been gome on in SCOGIS. I told Harden to follow through on the incompletos and consult with every faculty member of SCOGIS to make the courses rigorous. 1 wanted him to en- sure this.' But as he was going over the pro- gram with Hansen, he found a po- tential car of worms. MacLeod discovered that SCOGIS hod infor- mal arrangement with two hospitals and one community. He had to ascertain if these arrangement were legally binding contract . If they are legal contract , ‘lawsuits could be brought again :. the University and it would wreak havoc with the students involved. We're seeking out the people in these institutions to find what the arrangement is 3nd what student are supposed to do.’ MacLeod U opposed to the school surviving past tilts semester. ‘The reason for SCOGIS coming into being was to provide innovation. The innovation ha come but not necessarily through SCOGIS.' The past two years has been of real value- to faculty and student . But the image they’ve projected has hampered them. They've generally isolated themselves from the cam- pas. Tney were supposed to give on internal evaluation this year but till never come. The quality con- trol of the courses has not wen good We nr� w have other alterna- tive taking the place of SCOGIS The experience of the past two • years doesn't convince me that this b the way to go.' MacLeod had a few words tA say about Wilson's comment concern- ing him in the last issue of the Free Prow, a very few . 'I didn't read the article i don't want to know about it. If a person feels that way, that’s his opinion. Engaging in such a thing is counter productive. I ulti- mately have to think of the welfare of the University.' Sometime in Ocotber, tpe Univer- sity Council should issue a recom- mendation about the program. Yet this is not certain. Even though the Council has the power of establish- ment and disestablishment of schools, it may not have any power over SCOGIS While SCOGIS i« called a school MacLeod stated that it could be ar- gued that it is not in actuality a school. If this is proven true the fu- ture of SCOGIS would no longer concern the University Council. It will then be up to the new President of USM. N. Edd Millet to resolve the question of SCOGIS However, it is unlikely that a new president would go againtt the wishes of his established Deans and Vice-President.

On Two.’ A Conservative View Panel’s Report On The Forests Seems Sensible By James J. Kilpatrick WASHINGTON — Last week’s report from a prendentia! pasci on forest pol- icy may have attracted considerable at- tention from the West Coast press but t was a one-day story here The report is important and it deserves more publicity than the bek and a promise that it get. If you noticed the story at all, you may have noticed that it fell into the Newtonian pattern of journa.istic treat- ment. For every action, there is an equal and opposito reaction. The report was released at the White House, and that was the action; reporters then tele- phoned the Sierra Club for comment, and the predictable reaction came forth. TWO SPOKESMEN FOR the Sierra Club thought the report was terrible. Brock Evans, In Washington, was ‘ dis- appointed but not surprised ' He termed the report the latest in a long series of actions by tlw administration on behalf of the timber industry Gordon Robinson, m San Francisco, was '‘shocked. These people in the White House, said Robin- son, arc determined to rip the country up, ao matter whal.” What aroused the spokesmen, among other tilings, was the panel's mild refer- ence to the practice of clearcutting. Among environmentalists, it is one of those emetic words, reluctantly swal- lowed. and instantly spit up. To speak of clearcutting to a professional con- servationist. in any approving sense, is liko condoning busing In the presence of Sen. Thurmond or mentionig Henry Peterson to Spiro Agncw. Some words just set some people off. One result of this Pavlovian syndrome was that locally the papers gave the sto- ry 12 column-inches, four to the Sierra Chib and eight to the 541-page report. In- terested readers can buy the report from the Government Printing Office for «.80 and make up their own minds. The re- port struck me as a temperate, sensible and balanced document, evidencing cot the slightest trace of any desire to rip the country up or to sell out the nation- al forests to the Umber barons. THE VERY FIRST statement by the panel emphasizes that forest resources are to be cherished, nurtured, and used The panel recommends the har- vesting of timber from our national for- ests or. a schedule commensurate with their productive capacity. It recom- mends that logging practices be estab- lished that will minimize site disturb- ances while at the same lime retaining all proven and efficient methods of tim- ber harvest, including clearcutting. un- der appropriate conditions. The report documents what every homebuilder has discovered for himself in recent years, that lumber is both scarce and high-priced. Worldwide de- mand, especially from Japan, has push- ed prices on the West Coast out of sight. One reason for the shortage is that our national forests, which have been in- tended since 1897 to furnish a contin- uous supply of timber for the use and necessity of citizens of the United States. have not measured up to their productive capacity. Their actual growth in 1970 was only 39 percent of potential growth under sound management. ROUGHLY HALF OF all the softwood sawtimber In the United States is stand- ing on the national forests. The presiden- tial panel makes no recommencation whatever that it all be harvested, leal In The Public Interest 20 Fuels Industry Wants Wasteful Consumption An Opinion Tu J- sumption and save money year after year with little or no in- cstment over the nevt few - . vi-ais The ov;rc. . along The question u not are w.

Agnew's formal letter of resignation as vice president, sent to Secretary of State Henry A.

I am concerned that intense media interest in the esse would distract public attention from important national problems — to the country's detriment. I am aware that witnesses are pre- pared to testify that I and my agents re- ceived payments from consulting engi- neers dotRK business with the state of Maryland curing the period I was gover- nor. With the exception of the admission that follows, 1 deny the assertions of ille- gal acts on my part made by the govern- ment witnesses. 1 admit that I did receive payments during the year 1967 which were rot ex- pended for political purposes, and that, therefore, these payments were income taxable to me in that year and that I so knew. I further acknowledge that con- tracts were awarded by state agencies in 1967 and other years to those who made such payments, and that 1 was aware of such awards. 1 am aware that government witnesses •re prepared to testify that preferential treatment was accorded to the paying companies pursuant to an understanding The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger The Secretary of State Washington, D.C. 20529 Dear Mr. Secretary: I hear by resign the office of Vice President of the United States, ef- fective immediately Sincerely, Spiro T. Agnew ‘I Admit, I Deny with me when 1 was the governor. I stress, however, that no contracts were awarded to contractors who were not competent to perform the work and in most instances state contracts were awarded without any arrangement for the payment of money by the contractor. I deny that the payments in any way influenced my official actions. I am con- fident. moreover, that testimony present- ed in my behalf would make it clear that I at no time conducted my official duties as county executive or governor of Maryland in a manner harmful to the in- terests of the county or state, or my duties as vice president of the United States in a manner harmful to the na- tion. and. further auert that my accept- ance of contributions was part of a long- established paltcrn of political fund-rais- ing m tho state. At co time have I en- riched myself at the expense of the pub- lic trust. In all the circumstances, I have con- cluded that protracted proceedings be- fore the grand ;ury, the Congrecs and the courts, with the speculation and con- troversy surrounding them would se- riously prejudice the rational interest. These, briefly stated, are the reasons I am entering a plea of nolo contendere to the charge that I did receive payments in 1967 which I failed to report for the purposes of income taxation.

Sends Israel Military Supplies To Offset Russian Help To Arabs Israel Puts Commandos Across Suez Oct. 19, 1973 Dear Mr. President: As you are aware, the accusations against me cannot be resolved without a long, divisive and debilitating struggle in the Coegrets and in the courts. I have concluded that, painful as it is to me and to my family, it is in the best interest of the nation that I relinquish the vice pres- idency. Accordingly. I have today resigned the office of vice president of the United States. A copy of the instrument of resignation ts enclosed.

Agnew President to Agnew: ‘Personal Loss Oct. 10, 1973 Dear Ted Tho most difficult decisions are often thoro that are the most personal, and I know your decision to resign as vice president ha been as difficult as any facing a man in public life couki be. Your departure from the administration leaves mo with a great sense of pencnal loss. You have been a valued associate throughout these nearly five years that we have served together. However, I re- spect your decision, and 1 also respect the concern for the national interest that led you to conclude that a resolutior of the matter In this way. rather than through an extended battle in th© courts and the Congress, was advisable in order to prevent a protracted period of nation- al division and uncertainty. As Vic© President, you have addressed the great issue o' our times with cour- age and candor Your strong patriotism, and your profound dedication to the wel- fare of the nation, have been an In- spiration to all who have served with you as wen as to millions of others throughout the country. I have been deeply saddened by this whole course of events, and I hope that you and ycur family will be sustained in the days ahead by a wdl-yustified pride in all that you have contributed to the itahe© by your year cf service as vice president.

Egypt say It destroyed an Israeli flotilla in the Gulf of Suea and Syrians claim downing numbers of Israeli planes in the Golan Heights area.

Treehouse Players in Preparation The word is out: The Treehouse Players of UMPG-Gorhxm have cast a new play. Making its debut on the Russel Hall stage on November 2 will be 'The Unknown Citizen1, a student concieved and directed, ordinal, multi-media production. The script encompasses many aspects of readers' theatre, dance, music, dramatic scenes, and projee- tions, all dwelling on the complexity of the unknown citizen. Adding to the fluidity of the production will be a four piece jazz combo directed by Flash Allen. The cast is a multi-talented en- semble of ten students- seniors Tina Allen, Tim Wooten, and Mark Nu- tial; juniors Tom Derrah and Kristi Counts; sophomore Don Jalbcrt. Burton Ordway, and Christine Gard- ner. and freshmen Ruth Comber and Stacie Harvey. Tina Allen, a former member of Stoned Flute, recently appeared in the Rafter with the group Willow. She has appeared in such Treehouse productions as 'Poor of Portland'. 'Tlie World of Carl Sandburg', and ‘Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris' Tim Wooten has w.orked in ‘Beg gars Opera' and 'The Poor of Port- land’and Mark Nutial appeared in 'Zoo Story' whilo Tom Derrah hat made his fame in ’The Amorous Flra'. Jaque Brel' and ‘Begger's Opera’. Kristi lure Counts, from South Portland, is best known for her work with the Children’s Theatre of Port- land and her performances in 'Don Quixote’ She also worked in the Storymimcand Nutmeg Players, based in Stores, Conn. SophomoreDon Jalbcrt has worked in 'Love Regatta' a: the University of Bridgeport and had a leading role this past summer :r. 'Dames at Sea' at Fairfield University.

The all female cast includes: Carole Bohannon...Beatncc Karen Selborg.....Tillie Holly Carlson.....Ruth Anne Whitney......Nanny Diane Lewis.......Janice Vickery This powerful and moving study of ar. embittered, vindictive widow and her two young daughters has been hailed as one of the most sig- nigican: and affecting plays of our time. It is the winner of the Pulit- zer Prize, the Obie Award, and the New York Drama Critics Circle A- ward as the Best Amcncan play of the season.

Business Cluh proves to be refreshingly dif- ferent. The club draws students from all areas of academic endeavor and is not limited to tha field of business. I,ast year the club got in- volved in community action by pro- viding a tax service to Portland's low income families. The club hopes to continue this program this year and may expand the service if it is determined that both a need and a desire for such a service exist. Profit making project� last year included, the Used Bookstore, the Basketball Program, and a raffle of a semesters tuition. The Used Book- store was primarily a student ser- vice as the dub barely broke even on it. Thu year we discontinued the used bookstore because the University Bookstores were suppo- sed to take over this function Due to a shake-up in management they were unable to handle it this first semester but wchopothat they will be able to provide'this serivee next semester. The Basketball Program was profitable last year and pros- pects for this year look even better. The raffle was the mam source of income and it i being contemplated agam this year. The club took a trip to the Bos- ton Stock Exchange last year. Tins trip was open to the entire student body and was enjoyed by all who went. Many trips are contemplated for this year which will appeal to wide ranges of interest Through the year the club holds many social events for its members and friends. Cocktail parties have proved to be bath enjoyable and productive The club gets together daily in the cafeteria, so if you sec a large groupcongregating around a small table most likely you arc looking at the Business Club. by Mike Myers WELCH’S VARIETY 1 GO N«n� t«nK .t Si FREE ON CAMPUS DELIVERIES AFTER ?PM W MIN.ORDER OF $5 Open 911.

The war’s impact on an al- ready worrisome energy situ- ation depends on whether - And how much — the Arab oil producers want to punish Wash- ington for supporting Israel. Current figures show that Arab oi accounts for about 1.1 million barrels a day of U.S. imports, or only about six per cent of the U.S. daily con- sumption. It is highly unlikely that the Arab nations ever would net in unison to cut of! ali of that. But even what might seem a relatively small cutback would hurt In today’s circumstances.

But it could easily happen that measures to conserve energy would require rapid and burdensome rationing for the U.S. public, say Industry ex- perts. Several days ago William E. Stmor., chairman of the Presi- dent's Oil Policy Committee, said that if the Uniter States was willing to make an ail out conservation effort it could cut consumption by as much as three million barrels a day. That could be achieved, but not without very severe ratio- ning. says John Licbtblau. an oil economist with tbo Petro- leum industry Research Foun- dation. A petroleum planner who askod to remain anonymous said that without stringent ra- tioning the best that might be accomplished would be a cut of half that much. As of this mooli) the United Stales was importing 6.4 mil- lion barrels of crude and refine- ry products daily, n large chunk cf a daily U.S. con- sumption estimated anywhere between 13 and 17 million bar- rels.

Recent figures indicate im- ports from Canada al the rale of about 71 mil!ion barrels a month, and LaUn America. 42 million.

Arab producers don't want, to Shut off their oil incomes Even a temporary shutdown would hurt and could even damage the Arab war effort that their contributions help finance. A selective embargo seeking to shut off exports :o the United States wouldn't work, either, because transshipment deals could get the oil to America anyway. The most likely action lies In slowdown of production or re- fusal to step it up to meet ever- growing needs. Japan would feel the impact quickly, relying as it does on Middle East Im- ports. So would Western Eu- rope. market for 30 per cert of Arab oil. In turn, pressures would increase cn available nor.-Arab oil supplies. Probably nothing short of an Arab-Israet cease-fire can re- lieve Arab oil regimes of the pressure to do something. If the rulers do act. whatever they do is likely to herald dislocations in the United States and per- haps Europe and Japan as well. To meet an emergency, the United States might try to con- serve by such measures as re- duced highway speed limits, car pools, reduction of airline loads, reduction of healing, air conditioning and lighting ia buildings and similar steps. But experts say voluntary measures on an unpoliced basis could hardly bring achievement of the conservation goal in less than, perhaps, six months. The crunch, meantime, would be immediate. Thoughts Of Man HAPPINESS is beneficial for the body but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. PROUST Images From An Earlier War By Smith Hempstone No two wars, even if fought over the same terrain by the same armies, can be identical. There arc subtle alterations in the moods of nations, more advanced weapons are developed, tactics change. But there is a sameness about the way men live at war — and about the way they die that is a common denomina- tor to all conflicts. Indeed, it caa be tru- ly said that when you’ve seen one war. you've seer, them all. Perhaps that is why most wars are fought by very young men. The following may not have beer, the way it was in Sinai, in Jerusalem and cn the Golan Heights in that June six years and more ago when the Israelis routed the Arabs in the Six-Day War. But it is the way it is remembered. Perhaps that is more important. The Desert Beyond the burning sands of Wadi el- Amr and the low, flinty hills of Abu Agcila, where l.avrcnct raided and Al- lenby marched, Egyptian and Israeli ar- mor dueled in a Wagnerian symphony of gunfire. So swift had been the Egyptian withdrawal that there was little ol Use litter which one normally associates with an army in flight At Jcbel L;vr.i and Bir Gifgafa and thfl Mitla pass, where the Israeli fighters caught the Egyptian army jammed into the defiles and gorges, it was different. Shots, weapons, empty canteens, articles of clothing and cartridge belts littered the flinty soil beside hurned-out tanks and wrecked personnel carriers. Tho- Egyptian dead were black and bloated, and if you rolled one over with the toe of your desert boot, the gases in his stom- ach would seem to sigh. There wore Is- raeli soldiers on the battlefield, picking up the weapons, bedouin pilfering the dead and here and there, a skittish Jackal The hot air was heavy with the buuing of flies ar.d scented with the sickly sweet smell of charred flesh. light oo the thick ramparts of the Jorda- nian-held Old City.

The streets were full of exultant Israelis making their way to- ward the remaining rampart of the Sec- ond Temple, which gcnlilcs call the Wail- ing Wall. The prisoners showed no emo- tion. The Heights por.h of Afula, the roads leading to Tel Dan and Tiberius were clogged with Is- raeli military traffic Some of the trucks were battered Arab Legion Fords, deco- rated with captured Jordanian flags draped across the radiators. 3Dd the Is- raeli troops riding in them, fresh from the conquest of the Wc:t Bank, gave ffc? thumbs up signal. They were eager to get at the Syrians on tl:; Gola.i Heights, who had been mortaring the border kib- butam for years. Across the Sea of Galilee, the Golan lay silent and smoking after the Israeli artillery barrages and air strikes. The war had moved across the bridge of Ja- cob's Daughters, through Tel Katsir and around Banias. There were dogfights ia the air over Mt. Hermon, bqt the Syrian war h3d moved toward Kunitra and Damascus, leaving behind it the smell of burning wheat and the faint sound of ragged firing. THE ROAD TO KUNITRA was yellow in the morning light. There was seldom any wind :n the morning in Galilee and the silent road lay smothered ir. dust There were apricot groves in the dis- tance, small herds of black fat-tailed sheep and. far away, the red-tiled roofs of Circassian villages. MOST OF THE CIVILIAN population had fled from Kunitra. Those who re- mained were being berded into a com- pound in the center of the shell-blasted town. An Arab who said bo was a school teacher accepted a proffered cigarette. Asked how he felt about things, ho shrugged, took a deep drag on tho ciga- rette and said: ‘There will be another day.” Tho Israeli miliary police shooed us •way from the Syrian prisoners.

Kir is now the in ’ drink in many of the better restaurants in the US and has become so fashionable that Sherry-Lehmann Ir.c., New York wine merchants, introduced last spring a p:e-bottled version put together by Peter Sichol. It sells for under $3. Kir is a more modern name for an old Burgundian drink called 'vin blanc cassis.” Basically, it consists of 4 ounces of gcod dry white wire and 1 ounce of Creme de Casis (black eurrant liqueur). It makes a light, fruity, pleasant drir.k that is excellent before a meal at which wines are to be served, or i« great to enjoy on a warm day or throughout a light lunch. Any dry white wine may he used, though classically in Burgundy white Macon was used Choice of the liqueur is a bit more difficult. Creme de Cossu is available in the US in several alco- holic strengths, some of it is really a cordial. You want something be- tween 18 and 22 percent alcohol. L'Heritier-Guyot and Lcjay-La- goute, both imported from France, are two of the best and most easily obtainable. These liqueurs are icasonably expensive, however. They sell for between $7 end $8. One bottle will make 30 to 60 drinks, however, and can also be used as a cordial. Or. you can do as I da. I have e1- Vays brought a sirop do casu which is Just non-alcoholip blackcur- rant Juice with sugar — a simple syrup — also put out by L’Heritier- Guyot This sells for about $4 for a 24-ounce bottle. With this, you can not only make a Kir, but you can use it cn ice cream, crepes, sherbet and other desserts. As with so many things foreign, the ease with which an American can say Kir (rhimes with 'beer”) has helped to popularize the drink here. Vin blar.c cassis is a bit more difficult. The new name comes ,'rom a clergyman. Canon Keiix-Adricn Kir, a famed World War II French Resis- tance hero who helped some 4CC0 prisoners escape from the Germans in the Burgundy azea. This remarkable priest became mayor for Dijon in 1945 and later a member of tho French Parliament He was not only a good resistance fighter and priest, but a great pio- moter cf all things Burgundian. Bur- gundy, like all France, was in due straits after the war and he made evezy effort to promote the sale of products from the area, especially the white Burgundy w e and caw is. aperitif He even had the traditional cham- pagne coupe d'honneur” before din- ner changed to his favorite aperatif. He succeeded so well that when he died in 1968 the drink was re- named in tus honor. To make a Kir, put the ounce of liqueur in a wine glass first, then odd 4 ounces of chilled white wine to the synzp it mixes better. In Paris, a paler version is pre- ferred. Here, many bar'.cnders mix only a Vz ounce of the liquer to 4 ounces of wine. As witn so many other concocted drinks, Kir has become so popular in Franca that it has produced spin- offs, variations or. the wire and li- quer theme. Cne is Kir Imperiale, made with champagne instead of white wine. Many of France's leading restau- rants have begun to produce their own versions and offer them as a spccialite de la maison.” All these versions, however, use wine, still or sparkling, as the main ingredient. Other ingredients are used by the dropful. merely as flavoring agents. They may tempt you to try some versions of your own. Trois Gros, a famous three-star restaurant run by two blethers in Roannc, northeast of Lyon, use brut champagne plus freshly pressed cas- sis juice. Paul Bocuse. another three-star restaurant at CoLonge � u Mont d'Or, a few miles north of Lyon, uses champagne, creme de cassis ar.d white raspberry liquer. Eriritagc. in Provence, near Avignon, uses Tevel rose, creme de cassis. Grand Marnier and Kirsch, which is pretty far from Kir.

After a team of doctors had examined the astronauts for seven hours at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Tex , Dr Royce Hawkins, chief phy- sician, reported: The crew- men are cleared medically for t h e anticipated Nov. 10 launch. After the physical, astronauts Gerald P. Carr, William R. Pcgue and Edward G. Gibson returned to their rigid training schedule. They worked m the Skylab simulator and then re- vived a setne briefing. The three rookie spacemen will fly to Cope Canaveral from Houston Wednesday to make fi- nal preparations for the launch- ing, scheduled for 11:41 a.ra. EST Saturday. Because of the position of the orbit.eg Skylab station, the con- trol center will hove only a + • second period In which to launch the Saturn lb rocket Saturday. There is a IS minute fevorable per.od on Sunday. At the launch pad Tuesday, technicians installed the astro- nauts' couches in the Apollo ferry ship and performed other tasks to make the vehicle ready for flight. Carr, Pogue and Gibson are to make the third and final vis- it to the Skylab station, which is orbiting 270 miles above the earth. If they stay aboard £5 days, they will exceed by nearly a month the present space endur- ance mark of S3 days, held by the Skylab 2 crew Thy plan extensive medical, earth resources and solar as- tronomy experiments. Thy also are to make extensive ob- servations of the comet Kohou- tek which is to loop around the moon in late December, provid- ing a spectacular view for both spacemen and earth watcjirs The astronauts have sched- uled ran space walks, one on Christmas Day, to view the comet with special Instruments. Doctors hope the nearly three months they are to spend in space will add considerably to knowledge on how man is af- fected by long-term space trav- el. The previous two Skylab flights demonstrated that for periods up to S9 days at least the men adapted easily to weightless space, and had little trouble reacaptmg to earth’s gravity.______________________ By Frank Sleeper Public Power T umed Off, Chance T aken On Lottery Brigus Junction.

Oil com- panies have for years discovered I oil in remote I places, notably the I Persian Gulf, the I North Slope of I Alaska, the wilds of Ecuador, Nigeria and Indonesia NOW. BECAUSE OK the efforts of en- vironmentalists and the need tn find deep water anchorages for supertankers, oil companies have to place refineries in remote locations Pressures from environmentalists real- ly didn’t have much to do with the loca- tion of the Shaheen Natural Resources refinery at Come By Chance Back three years or more ago. the environmental- ists weren't quite as active as they were shortly thereafter. The search for a deep water harbor for supertankers was much more impor- tant. Shaheen Natural Resources tried in Maine near Machiasport came a crop- per when delays mined the foreign (r.tde rone concept just as they did for Occi- dental Petroleum Corp Then came the move to the north and east, to this island that marks the true northeastern boundary of North Amer- ica. AS YOU DRIVE from .St. John's (which, even though it has 100,ooo resi- dents, looks much like Augusta in its downtown section with its only real re- tailing street named Water St (like Au- gusta) to Come By Chance, you go through what I’ve been tokl is some of the most barren country in southern Newfoundland.' Right out of St. John's, you come Into all kinds of softwood growth notably pine This isn't the proud pine we know in Maine. It's a runt, stunted version, bent in one direction by the constant winds It looks like something you'd sco at or near tree line of Maine mountains. As you move closer to Come By Chance, the pines run out almost com- pletely It's rugged country. The rocks rush along to largo outcroppings. They were twisted and turned by glaciers mil- lions of years ago. Almost the whole length of the trip, there arc cars parked along the sides of the test read in Newfoundland Tbsso arc hunters going after moose or cari- bou Go more than a half mile from the road and you're required to have a guide. I'm told. It's easy to sec why. lt'« not only rugged country, it’s big country. Get atop one of the rolling hills and you can see for miles, to the sea oa the south and to mountains on the north. H all has a sameness about it, a sameness that could spell disaster for anyone without a guide if ho got lost. THERE'S WATER, water and move water in tnis barren area ’About all you see in the way of buildings arc small homes, probably summer camps on the hundreds of ponds. One farm existed in the whole miles - and that was a nny one. The land is too rocky and barren But the ponds are there and the fishinc Is good. Note Little Triangle Pond. Big Triangle Pond. Triangular Pond and Three Corner Pond. The question war. What do you name the next three aided pond? There was no answer There arc so many ponds that you have to run out of nanus for them. The old City of St John s looks nut quite that old But home building civJ • are high. The houses show it. They' quite small by our standard You can get Vtt.OCO or SS9.000 for homes I hat. would be at least SS0.0C0 less in Maine. BUT THE ST. JOHN'S waterfront is n bustling place certainly by Portland standards. The Portuguese fishing flcci makes Its headquarters there and one large vessel was tied up. Tnere was a cable boat and the Canadian equivalent of a Coast Guard cutter and a very large ferry. The boats looked good in St. John's harbor But they didn't look half os good as would the first supertanker due to land oil at the Come By Chanrc refinery.

Novambor 7, 1773 Israeli Pullback Asked 43 By Common Market Watching The World ‘Year Of Europe’ Ending Unhappily By Crosby S. Novcs WASHINGTON - It’s a f� ne way to wind up the year of Europe. with Hen- rv .Kissinger so disgusted with our NATO allies that he doesn’t care what becomes o? the alliance and with the Europeans so petrified by the implications of our Middle Eastern policy that they almost wish the alliance never had been bom. The resentment being so freely ex- pressed on both sides — though very un- helpful — also is very largely unjusti- fied. THE EUROPEANS, without any reed for consultation, were perfectly aware that the United States had no choice m supporting ard supplying Israel, once a massive resupply effort to Syria and Egypt had beer, mounted by the Soviet Union. Indeed, the lack of ccnsultation of such allies as France, Britain 3nd Ger- many allowed them to maintain a pas- ture of neutrality in the conflict In the hope — a vain hope, it seems — of ap- peasing the oil-producing Arab states. Nor should the United States have been surprised and outraged by the re- fusal of our major European allies to per- mit the overflight of thoir territory or use of their facilit.cs ir. getting arms to the embattied Israelis Europe, after all, de- pends on the Middle East for about SO per cert of its oil (as compared to about 10 per cent for lhc United States). And so. unless wc are to see a return to im- perialism. Europe's perception of its own Interests in the Arab-Isracl: conflict in- evitably is different from our own. In this situation, recriminations of lhc kind ac have been hearing arc beside the point. The point is that, so far as the Arab states are concerned, we are in a bad fix. And given the rapidly increasing American dependence oa Arab od. we are all in it together. President Nixon's rather smug remark that Europeans would have frozen to death this winter unless there had been a settlement in the Middle East was. to say the least, premature For there is no seitleme.it in the Middle East and t h e prospect of getting ore Is far from rosy. So far, at least, the Arab c-iimen show no $;gn of relaxing their shutdown of sup- plies, and the winter may be chilly enough for everybody. At the same time there are other less articulated but possibly more legitimate reasons why the Middle Eastern episode has disturbed the Europeans. For many years, there has been n besetting fear of super-power collaboration at Europe's expense'. Or even worse, the possibility of a super-power confrontation which could involve Europeans in a conflict over issues which they consider at least extraneous and perhaps gravely dam- aging to their own interests. THERE WERE INTIMATIONS f both of these possibilities In the Middle East crisis. At this point, it is hard to tell whether Europeans have been more dis- turbed by the short-lived confrontation which resulted in a worldwide alert of American forces or the current emphasis on Soviet-Araerican detente which, ac- cording to administration claims, avert- ed a catastrophe in the Middle East These natural concerns, however, have very little to do with the validity or the viability of the Western alliance. Ir. my view, it is quite wrong to expect or de- mand a total loyally from our European allies when it coxes to American policies and actions outside of the European area. Or to assert, os Kissinger docs, that “we cannot hold together if each country or region asserts its autonomy whenever it is to its benefit. NO MEMBER OF THE alliance has asserted its autonomy more insistently than the United Stages when it comes to matters of global strategy. So far as (he administration is concerned, Europe, at this point, is not where it's at. In its ap- proaches to Peking and Moscow, or its efforts to achieve a settlement in the Middle East, European concerns have not been predominant NATO exists only because each mem- ber of the alliance, including the United States, perceives it to be In its own inter- est to assure the ability of Western Eu ope to defend itself militarily and politi- cally against the power of the Soriet bloc. Disputes over global policy have occurred in the past and will surely re- cur In the future. But these disputes are grounded on an assumptityt of a common destiny. And as long as a sense of com- mon destiny remains the validity of the alliance itself is assured.

Saudi Arabia—The exotte meeting in the Red Palace here between the king of the Arab , surrounded by his Bedouin chieftains, and the German- bom American Jew. a scene of contrast and irony, was a dramatic climax— but what followed raised staggering prob- lems. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger erne: ged .'turn his two-hour private talk ic.nfotced In all his intuitions: austere King Faisal of Saudi Arabia will not “re- store hi faith in the United States until Israel actually withdraws from occupied Arab lands. For the US—but most particularly for Europe and Japan—those words carried danger. Yet, Henry Kissinger could not shake the king of Saudi Arabia, who crystallized the following points with punctuated brevity (in deep contrast to the shnll rhetoric of some other Arab leaders): First, he had kept his silence year after year since the Israelis seized the Sinai Peninsula, tho Golan Heights and religious places in East Jerusalem sacred lo the leader of Islam. Second, he had done so in faith that the US would respect its long friendship with the Arabs and persuade Israel to do what two American Presidents had re- peatedly promised and the United Nations had ordered after the s:x-day war of 1967. Third, his silence had not endeared him to other Arabs. Now he would accept no more promises, even if he himself were willing to take one mere chance, which he was not. Fourth, the systematic increase in Saudi oil production was economic folly for his country. It could no: spend the in come and the earned dollars had a pre- carious future value leu than oil in the ground. Yet he had agreed to a produc- t on increase to prevent oil famine in the West. All that was bcfoie the recent war. For hi pait. Kissinger convinced the king that he was facing a “serious man of genuine sincerity unlike, the king later told intimates, some other Ameri- cans who had claimed authority but failed lo perfoim. Kissinger opened his two-houi talk with the man whose possession of oil con- feis frightening power by saying he had read � 11 the private correspondence be- tween the king and three American Pres- idents: John Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. From that record, said Kissrr.ger, it was embarrassingly clear that the king had reason to com- plain. But President Nixon was row unequi- vocally committed to Israeli withdrawal and he. Kissinger, would not have undei - Lurie KING FAISAL taken the negotiation if not convinced that settlement was possible With a famil.ai display of ego. Kissin- ger informed the king that he was not in the habit of failing and pointed to his succe� in negotiating an end to American participation in the Vietnam war after four years of work. The two then agreed that a peace conference, preferably in the US should atart before the end of the year. But on the matter of softening the oil squeeze, a principal reason for his tup MIDEAST AGREEMENT In the six-point agreement signed yesterday, the Egyptians and Israelis agreed to: • Observe the ccasc-fire issued bv the UN Security Council Oct. 23 and renewed Oct. 23. • Start discussions on a return to the cease-fire lines of Oct. 22. • Get daily supplies cf food, water and medicine to the town of Suez and evacuate wounded Suez civilians. • Avoid ary impediment to the movement of nonmilitary sup- p ies lo the cast bank of the Suez Canal, where Israel say the Egyptian 3d Army is en- circled. • Replace Israeli checkpoints on the Cairo-Sucz road with UN points, with Israeli officers checking supply movements. • Exchange all prisoners of wai as soon as the UN checkpoints are established. herc, Kissinger failed to gaih assurancei on the basis of new American credibility The king insisted again and again the proof was in the pudding, not in its prom • . Thu adamant stand was inescapably clear lo us when we saw the king later in an exclusive interview. He declined to agree that the visit marked a turn of tha comer in the breakdown of Saudi Ara- bic’s confidence in the US. He said only that Kisasnger had impressed him deeply as a man who meant what he aaid. ar.d that he hoped the US wii now pre- pared to deliver. Clearly the king still doubts American willingness to take on Israel. This mean that even though Kis- singer has row established his own credi- bility with the king, that is not enough to loosen the tightening oil s'.i anglehold w 16 Brooke tells Nixon to his face: ‘Resign’ Strauss says voters don't want President removed “By payulir dttnind, Kirr I� Number Ooe n the Hit Paride!

Perhaps jnmeday I will be in a po- sition to explain more fully the unusual conflu- ence of events which cr.u'cd mo to take the course 11! 1 WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR. ... I could never re- quest your assistance un- less I regained your re- spect. but it is a measure of your (fair-mindedness) that you make the offer to help someone whom you think has fallen. I haven't. 1 am just taking the nine- count to clear my head.'' To this sad communica- tion, ! reply: 1—Obviously our system of justice docs not always guarantee a fair result. Obviously Agnew was the target of many leaks. But it is not obvious that the entire community was prejudiced against him on account of those leaks. He had himself very full ac- cess to the media, he availed himself of it. and he stressed and restressed hts innocence. On the whole It is probably safe to say that when the crisis came, more Amer- icans were convinced of his innocence (which after all was credible, and pre- sumptive), than they were of the accusations against him (which were incredible, indeed histori- cally unprecedented). 2—The enticement of immunity is of course al- ways a dangerous tool at the disposal of the prose- cution. Even so there is a record of judical vindica- tions (for instance in the prosecution of Roy Cohn) when juries beltpved the defendant rather than the chief witness against him. Moreover, we are informed that the witnesses against Agnew survived lie detec- tion tests. 3— Although the House of Representatives, accord- ing to sound constitutional construction, should have undertaken to hear the case against Agr.cw. its failure to do so should not, if Agr.cw was innocent, alone have doomed him to judi- cial victimization. He left his session with the House leaders a free man, with first-rate lawyers, a loyal following, and complete access to the press. 4— There is no reason to suppose that the conflu- ence of circumstances cited by Agnew stripped him of tnat presumption of inno- cence which the law in- dulges, notwithstanding the unfairness of the leaks. Agnew himself decided to plead guilty to a single charge, and to resign his office. Had he proceeded to trial and been found guilty, he might then have complained of the jury's prejudice. But in the ab- sence of the struggle, one can only conclude that Agnew has stripped the jury of its presumptive in- nocence against the charge that it is at the service of Agncw's tormentors, rath- er than of justice. 5—I can conceive of a confluence of events which would have resulted in tha martyrization — a term ! use carefully — of Mr. Agnew. If Agr.ew is ever finally free to descr.be those events, many of us are eager to listen to them. But until that time, he should not conceive it plausible that his friends, who have only the known events to judge from, should reach other than the conclusions that rea- son dictates. JfV iem F.

The object of officials was to recapture the pris- on at any cost and all the lives lost were the cost. • The officials said the reason for the shooting was that an officer-hos- tage had been emasculated by the inmates, and it is important that the public understand that has been proven false.

Saving the Republic Few people doubt any longer that, nearly two centuries after the Decla- ration of Independence, the growth of presidential power has dangerously upset the balance of the Constitution. Our Presi- dency has become imperi- al; and, if we wish to make it constitution ] again, we must understand why this has come about For most of our history, the Presidency enjoyed a reasonable primacy in the constitutional order. But the primacy was limited by a system of accounta- bility — formal accounta- bility to Congress and to the Supreme Court; infor- mal accountability to the cabinet and the rest of the executive branch, to the political parties, to the prets, to public opinion, at home and abroad. But the system of con- sent had or.e fatal area of weakness — foreign af- fairs. Here Presidents often acted on their own, and Congress, the courts and the people felt too un- sure of their ground to en- force the same restraints they applied in domestic affairs. In time, power flowing to the Presidency to meet international emergency began to per- vade and embolden the Presidency at home. This escape from the process of accountability was nou- rished in the generation of world crisis after Pearl Harbor and reached it culmination in the Presi- dency of Richard M. Nixon. MANDATE OR SHIELD Mr. Nixon’s theory Is that of the plebiscitary re- gime, like Charles de Gaulle’s- in France. He evi- dently came to feel that the President should be accountable only once every four years at the na- tional election. The elec- tion, by the plebiscitary theory, gave the President a mandate. The mandate shielded the President from congressional, judi- cial and public harassment and empowered him to make war or make peace, to spend or to impound, to give out information or to hold it back, in general to bypass Congress in favor of government by execu- tive decree. Between elections, tho only serious accountabili- ty. as tho President’s law- yers gravely argued before the courts, was through the impeachment process. This plebiscitary theory was well on its way to changing the imperial Presidency into a truly revolutionary Presidency — until Watergate gave us ARTHUR M. SCHLESINGER the chance ar.d the incen- tive to rescue the Republic. How are we to get back to the Presidency of the Constitution? Let me warn against the illusion of me- chanical solutions. I don’t mean that passing some laws may not help. Obvi- ously, the elimination of private money from cam- paigns would be a great gain. Congressional over- haul of the secrecy system is indispensable. The war- powers act recently passed over presidential veto will do no harm and may do some good. But the ultimate solu- tion does not lie in clip- ping the President’s wings. It lies in enforcing his ac- countability. MORAL PROBLEM The problem, in ihort, is ultimately political, which is to say moral. As de Maistre once remarked, ’’every nation has the gov- ernment it deserves. The solution requires the rais- ing of the consciousness of Presidents, so that they will respect the process of accountability, and of Con- gresses. so that they will accept some of the burdens of responsibility. The serious question today is whether the Con- gress and people really want to rein in the run- away Presidency— wheth- er we have not become so terrified of responsibility in this hazardous and baf- fling world that we would rather have someone else wield the power and make the decisions. If wc do want to contain the Presidency, the effec- tive way to get on with the project of consciousness- raising is to show Presi- dents who place them- selves above the Constitu- tion and the laws that they cannot get avfay with it. The most expeditious way to accomplish this is through the process of im- peachment The grounds for Im- peachment are not, of course, confined to viola- tions of criminal statutes or to other indictable of- fenses. Tine phrase in the Constitution, high crimes and misdemeanors, refers to crimes by high officials against the state as distinct from common-law crimes, which are crimes by ordi- nary persons against ordi- nary persons. The essential ground for impeachment, as Hamilton wrote in the 65th Federal- ist, is the abuse or viola- tion of some public trust” — the serious ar.d pervad- ing misuse by a high offi- cial of his power and re- sponsibility resulting in actions grievously incom- patablc with the duties and obligations of his of- fice. MADISON'S EXAMPLE In the first Congress, James Madison, the father of the Constitution, gave an example. A President, he said, is responsible for the conduct of those he ap- points and ‘ subject to im- peachment himself, if he suffers them to perpetrate with impunity high crimes or misdemeanors against the United States, or ne- glects to superintend their conduct, so as to c.ncck their excesses The last pci son to be impeached by the House and convicted by the Sen- ate — Judge Halsted L. Ritter in 1935—was actu- ally acquitted on the in- dictable offenses charged in the articles of impeach- ment, but was found guilty all the same because his misconduct h-d brought his court into scandal and disrepute, to the preju- dice of.,. public confi- dence in the administra- tion of justice. Obviously, Madison’s statement in 1789 and the Senate's action in 1936 apply very directly to the Nixon problem today. If Mr. Nixon is not to be held accountable for having brought the highest office of the land into scandal ar.d disrepute, what future President wil1 ever be held accountable for anything? There can be no question whether grounds for im- peachment exist. Rather, the real question is wheth- er Congress and the Amer- ican people want to con- demn or to indulge these offenses. TWO CONSEQUENCES If Congress decides to indulge the presidential delinquencies, there wo I appear to be two probable consequences. The first, since so low members of Congress trust Mr. Nixon an inch, would be a eontm- nuing campaign to clip his wings through restrictive legislation. The trouble with this is that such leg- islation would not only re- strain Mr. Nixon as an In- dividual. but it could do injury — perhaps lasting injury—to the Presidency and an institution. I have in mind, for ex- ample, proposals now under consideration giving Congress the last word on questions like impound- ment, executive privilege ar.d executive agreements — questions that hereto- fore in American history have generally been mat- ters of practical accommo- dation and comity between the two branches (until, that is, Mr. Nixon tried to make them the exclusive prerogative of the Presi- dent). The great virtue of im- peachment is that it pun- ishes the offender without punishing the institution. It would permit future Presidents to use their le- gitimate and traditional powers while reminding them in a vigorous way that they had better rot usurp power or forget ac- countability. The second consequence could very well be that fu- ture Presidents, noting how much Mr. Nixon got away with without losing his office, will be inspired by his example and tempt- ed by his precedent. They will be tempted most of all to assume that the Ameri- can people in the end real- ly want a plebiscitary re- gime—if only it could be divorced from the vulgari- ties of a Watergate. If Mr. Nixon is still in office in January, 1977, he will very likely have succeeded in consolidating the impe- rial Presidency even if at the cost of his own reputa- tion in history. SURGERY INDICATED In short, let us not sup- pose that the problem of the Presidency is to be solved by patent medi- cines. If we want to pre- serve the Presidency u the great office that has served the Republic so well ■ and this we must do if wc are to have effec- tive government — then surgery is surely indicated. It is not a matter of for- giving and forgetting for the sake of the Presidency, but of exposing and pun- ishing for the sake of the Presidency The President, satd Andrew Jackson, must be accountable at the bar of public opinion for every act of his Ad- ministration. If contemporary public opinion declines to hold Richard Nixon accountable for the acts of his Admin- istration. then it must not be surprised if it assists in the transformation, if not in the death, of the Repub- lic.

Feb. 16 to March 3, to conserve fuel curing the energy ensis. There will be r.o change in the Dec. 21 to Jan. 13 Cnrutma recess but vacation has been rescheduled from the original late March date to Apr.I 6 to M. Crasser will be extended until May 25 and graduation will be hekl on May 27. This new schedule will divide the semester into three five week blocks. The key reason for this schedule change, according to President N. Edd Miller, is ‘to save fuel.” The university had protected use of 900.000 gallons of heating oil for the 1973-74 boating season based on a normal winter. Last year.be- causc the winter was mild. USM used only 750.000 gallons This latter amount hat been cut to 600.000 gallons for the 1973-74 season - an actual cut over estimated consumption of close to 35%. The new calender also makes good sense academically , he said, and it avoids too long a stretch of classwork for students and facul- ty. He also said that this calender might be in use “even beyond the energy crisis.'’ the new schedule was agreed on after it was learned that the university would still receive its monthly allocation of fuel irregard less Of whether school was in � ession or not for an entire month. Lack of storage facilities prevented the university from extending the Christ' mas vacation bv closing down for the entire month of January Faculty are being asked to do as much work as possible at home during the recesses. Administra tive employes, faculty who must boat the university and others will be pooled into the few buildings allowed to remain open. Miller has requested all admini- strative employes and others, who con do so. to complete their work by 4 30 p.m.. following a day be- ginning at 8 00 a.m He said that healing engineers are being called in to readjust thermostat ranges in all buildings jn order to make a minimum temperature of 50 degrees, or thereabouts, possible in buildings to be closed. All departments have been re- quested not to schedule any new conferences, programs or meetings during the evening. Final decisions about what buildings to close have not been made. However. libraries and the Law and Research building will be among those to remain open. One dormitory at Gorham will remain open Although numerous buildings will be closed, and other services curtailed, Miller it not planning any personnel cutbacks or layoffs.

ROOK OF THE DAY DIETRICH BONHOEFFER He was a Lutheran pastor, and his criticism of the Church and metaphsic not only followed the tradition of Kierkegaard, but worked within the frame- work of the Church itself. The dialectical aspect of his theology emerges from tlie noble volumes trans- lated into English from the five thick German tomes collected by Eberhard Beth . True Patriotism ar- lar.ges Bethge'a material, like the predeeding books tn English (being the third to appear), correlating the growth of Bonhoeffer' mind to his life history. There are three sections: The Theologian In War- time, the Double Agent, and the Prisoner. In the first, Bonhoeffer, the voice of the Confessing Church, argue why this is a church lather than a temporal movement. It seems to me both; a church in it insistence on it right to teach its own historic confessions, and a movement in its implaca- ble opposition to Hitler and the pro-Nau German Christians who approved the meat policies of the state. The second part projects Bonhoeffer' tole in the plot, Operation 7, to overthrow the tyrant, and the last section, including fragments of a drama and novel, covers a period when Bonhoeffer by the power of hi personal e - amplr made manifest the quality of his life. What the volume con- veys is more than a strug- gle between individual conscience and loyalty to one's country. According to Bonhccffer, Jesus Is un- deistood not In hi rela- tionship to an absolute God but in concern for others, and freedom from self, maintained to the point of death forms the sole ground of the being of God.

The year 1973 has been the first since the Civil War when rational Americans might reason- ably ask, Can the United States endure? Thus far. the Civil War has been the only cruelly testing, genuinely agoniz- ing historical episode our country has experienced. None of our many other wars since 1789 has ever raised the questions of na- tional survival. Hence, we are not a historically minded people. All current attention naturally centers on Presi- dent Nixon’s sorry plight; and hardly anyone even glances at the basic cur- rent changes in cur histor- ical situation. Yet, in order to see the fundamental, deeply dan- get out character of these changes in our situation, you do not need to be a pessimist. First, make the most optimistic possible assumptions about the out- come in the tortured Mid- dle East. Then figure out the probable consequences to the United Stales and the western world of this hoped-for Middle Eastern outcome. No more is re- quired. Suppose, then, that Sec- retary of State Henry A. Kiw.utgcr eventually gets the Arabian oil tap turned on again for the United States and also secures an Arab-Isracli settlement. Any such settlement will inevitably include the re- opening of the Suez Canal. To see what this can mean the future, you need only examine the present peculiar pattern of Soviet behavior JOSEPH ALSO? There arc two seemingly contradictory elements in this pattern. On the one hand, the Kremlin is exert- ing maximum pressure to prevent the Saudi Arabi- ans and the other Arab oil owners from turning on the oil tap. Furthermore, the Kremlin is pressing the Arab oil owners to crip- ple the banking systems of the West by withdrawing their enormous deposits. In these ways, to put it mild- ly, the Kremlin is being far from helpful. On the other hand, how- ever. the Kiemlin is quiet- ly but importantly helping Dr. Kissinger in his drive for an Arab-israeli settle- ment. So how is this mys- terious pattern of combined hurtfulness ar.d helpful- ness to be rationally ex- plained? Tne answer to the mys- tery lies in some rather simple facts. The Soviet planners long ago recog- nized the supreme strategic importance of the oil re- sources of the Arabian peninsula. The Arab oil tap, the Soviet planners realized, was no less than the jugular of the whole western world. So the So- viet planners began to in- vest heavily in order to take advantage of the dan- gerously exposed positron of this western jugular. They built air bases and naval bases and acquired naval facilities wherever they could manage to do so throughout the Red Sca- Indiar. Ocean-Persian Gulf —in short, in the waters that almost wholly sur- round the .Arabian penin- sula. From distant Vladi- vostok, they further organ- ized a difficult sea-supply line to sustain a naval presence in these same wa- ters. That naval presence has now reached the total of 20 powerful vessels of the Soviet fleet. once the Suez Canal is re- opened by an Arab-israeli settlement. Using the canal, the So- viets will cut their sea- supply lino to the Red Sea-lnd:an Ocean-Persian Culf from 11.000 miles to only 2000 miles. By the best estimates of the US Navy’s experts, this will promptly enable the Soviet fleet to increase its naval 80. Soviet naval superiori- ty around the Arabian pe- ninsula will then become Soviet naval supremacy in this area. This is the happy pros- pect that explains the Kremlin’s undoubted de- sire for the same kind of Arab-israeli settlement that Dr. Kiss.nger is work- ing for. The prospect mainly means one thing: et knife permanently closa to their strategic jugular, which is the Arab oil tap. Alas, these are not nightmares caused by too much Christmas pudding. Instead, they are realistic future calculations directly rooted in well-known cur- rent realities. So you can see why one may now ask, ’’Car. the United States en- dure? The present situation is presence in these waters the United States and the no mere than a foretasto of by a factor of four.

And what did the English get for Christmas? Why. only a chance to do their thing, which is to grin and bear it. It always seems to happen to them. If it's cold, England is colder. If it's dark, England is darker. Lifo is unfair, as John Kennedy once re- marked, but it always seems unfair-� est to England, the land of fair play. Some Americans expiate their guilt by saying that the British be- have too well for their own good ond thus invite hardship, or that they welcome adversity because they cope with it better than any- one. In recent week?, as we entered the kindergarten of shortages, it was suggested that large number of British be imported to give us an example for the days to come. But export was tried — you remember the empire — and it was not a com- plete success. The natives, not be- ing English, were not philosophical and kept on grousing. Particularly in Ireland, the presence of the Eng- lish was regarded as an adversity not to be borne. We ourselves led the way. Their problem Is that as a people, they sinpty have not learned to ■complain. One morning in London, I met a -woman at a bus stop. She was car- rying one of those net bags filled with smail packages which the British always, carry in their end- less search for something edible. Her bus, for Islington, hsd just pulled away. The next one was not due for 35 minutes. She sighed. Then caught herself and assumed a cheer- ful expression. We mustn’t grumble, must we? she chirped bravoly. It simply had never occurred to me that we mustn't and I wondered how she spent her days. Sh© immediately launched Into a discussion of the weather, which in England would give the serious grumbler eternal fare. It was moist and overcast, but she informed me that it was not, after all, raining, and that the BBC •was promising bright intervals. When I was in London during President Kennedy's visit, a small crowd had gathered outside hts sister-in-law's house. A bobby wss controlling the crowd, which is child’s play in England. ‘ Up, up on the curbing, he mur- mured In those inaudible tones in which the English communicate with each other. You shail be taller.1' Everyone was simply delighted to comply. And then I was on a tour bus hound for Windsor Castle. For some reason, when we drew up at the gates, we were not to be admitted. Wax there any outcry, although all had paid’ Not a bit of It. An Englishman stood up and said quiet- ly: “I must say I regard that as de- cidedly unfair. Then, having given his judgment, he resumed his seat. That was the end of it. The one thing that consoles ob- servers of England's latest afflictions is that in the tight little isle, the line between hardship and austerity is so fine in everyday life that when on© passes over it, one scarcely notices the difference. Take the ordinary English home, for instance. It is so cunningly laid out with draughty passageways and butteries and things, that their food is sure to be cold when it reaches the table. When you consider that the main dish is apt to be mutton and the vedge. brussels sprouts, it probably doesn't matter much. The British have cultivated their characters in- stead of their palates, and it seems they must always pay the price. Such a people deserve better than n three-day work week and world sympathy for Christmas. Mary McGrory is a syndicated colum- nist. DARIUS S. JHABVALA US allies imperil pact for Mideast WASHINGTON — West Euro- peans hav© once again revealed their reliance on regionalistic and ineffec- tive responses that could seriously undermine their security and surviv- al Last week at the NATO ministe- rial meeting in Brussel , they carped Incessantly over the lack of adequate consultations within the alliance over the Middle East — a charge blown up beyond proportions for a useful dialogue. Now they appear prepared to cave in to pressures from the Arab world, pressures that are divisive by their very nature and could seriously damage the prospects for peace in the Middle East. Secretary of State Henry Kissin- ger flew from Brussels to London where he spoke to the Pilgrims, a prestigious Anglo-American society. In an address that evoked compari- son with his new Atlantic charter speech in New York last April, Kis- singer offered an assessment of the state of American-Europcan rela- tions. More important he came up with the proposal that could put some meat on the bare bones of rhetoric of Western unity. He suggested that Western Eu- rope join the United States, Japan, sr.d oil-producing Arab countries In establishing an action group to ar- range for collaboration on all areas of the energy problem. Thi is a challenge which the United States could solve alone with great difficulties and that Europe cannot solve in isolation at all We strongly prefer and Europe requires a common enterprise. he said. The energy crisis of 1973 can become the economic equivalent of the Sputnik challenge of 1957. The outcome can be the same. Only this time, the giant step for mankind will be one that America and its closest partners take together for the bene- fit of 11 mankind, he said. Linked to that proposal is the un- stated concept that if the world’s in- dustrialized countries could join hand against blackmail they could promote an Arab-Israeli peace set- tlement faster. The reaction of each European ally corresponded to how bad the oil squeeze was on it Britain and the Netherlands, the two hardest hit by the cutback in production and tha embargo, hailed Kissinger s sugges- tion as being in the great tradition of the Marshall Plan after the war. France, which has proposed a Eu- ropear.-Arab energy cooperation that would leave out the United States and Japan, was far less enthusiastic. What's worse, French Foreign Minister Michel Jobert helped ar- range for four Arab ministers to meet with officials of the nine Euro- pean Economic Community states and lobby for the Arab position. Apart from the fact that neither the EEC meeting nor the pre- arranged dialogue with the Arab ministers was undertaken after con- sultation with the United States, the deliberations seemed to be working at cross-purposes wiih the US effort. The EEC hinted its eagerness to do business with the Arab rather than to even look further for any co- operative ventures within the alli- ance. The Arab ministers, to their credit, succeeded in driving e wedge between the United States end West Europeans on the oil issue. But the Europeans will only accrue benefits if they pressure the United States to pressure Israel into agreeing to a pro-Atab deal. That the United States will not do. and neither will Israol give in to US pressures. So what has been jeopardized, from Washington's point of view, is not US interests but the prospects for an Arab-Israeli settlement Darias JkebveJa it a member o] The Globe's Washington Bureau.

Excerpts from Kissinger’s remarks at year-end news conference Associated Press The following excerpts are from Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's year- end news conference in Washington yesterday: The most dramatic event of the year, of course, was the crisis in the Middle East It is - :t came upon us unexpectedly. We were rot warned by any foreign government that there were any specific plans for an attack. The only warnings we received were general descriptions that the Middle East con- flict or that the tensions in the Middle East might not oc contained. The war In the Middle East faced the United States with a number of profound issues. There was the commit- ment the United States has had through all postwar administrations to the se- curity of Israel. It was our concern that another su- perpower not exploit the tensions in the aura for its own advantage. There was our interest in maintain- ing a balanced relationship with the Arab countries. And there came to be, in- creasingly. the problem of the energy crisis. Soviet behavior In achieving a settlement in the Middle East inescap- ably will be • test of US- Soviet detente, because it is not possible for a coun- try to exacerbate tensions m one area and to seek relaxation in another. This Administration has con- sistently opposed the no- tion of selective detente. I am not saying this in any challenging manner, because the Soviet behav- ior in the prelude to the Geneva conference (on the Middle East) and diming the first phase of the Gen- eva conference has been constructive. The war in the Middle East also brought to a head the energy crisis on a global basis. It brought it to a head, but it did not cause it. The basis cause of the energy crisis is that de- mand for energy has been growing exponenti- ally while the incentives for supply have not kept pace—and in these condi- tions. sooner or later, the energy - consuming coun- tries would have come up against the situation where their demand far outstrip- ped the possibilities of sup- ply. Let me explain what wc understand by detente. We do not say that detente is based on the compatibility of domestic systems.

In late 1972 and early 1673, with the Nixon tide running high before Wa- tergate broke open, such a move was seriously dis- cussed inside the White House by the President’s lop lieutenants and law- yeis. The consensus fa- vored a bill to reinstate tax deductions for contri- butions of public papers. The savage eruption of Watergate halted all ef- forts. This points up covert preoccupation at high lev- els of the Nixon White House with the President's personal financial security. It also is one more indica- tion that “Operation Can- dor,” whatever its impact in saving Mr. Nixon’s Presidency, has hardly been candid at all. In the Nov. 17 press conference at Disney World. Fla during Oper- ation Candor. Mr. Nixon suggested the tax break on his vice-presidential pa- pers was not carefully plotted but resulted from Lyndon B. Johnson's casu- al advice. In truth, as we recently reported, the White House lobbied frantically to save the tax loophole in 1969. What’ more, presidential aides were well aware that this effort was based not on any broad tax principle but on a businesslike de- sire to feather the Presi- dent's nest (though, of course, it was not so pre- sented to Congress). Before and just after Mr Nixon's 1972 rcclcc- tion landslide, the White House staff pondered how he could profit from, his accumulating presidential papers and discussed seek- ing help from Congress Mr. Nixon’s persona! law- yers, led by Herbert Kalmbach, conferred with the White House counsel's office, then headed by John W Dean 3d.

We III the profession arc still searching for the. i canon why — from within our- selves os individuals and ns news organuntions and from our viewers and crit- ics on the outside IV openers, it is nut true that television and radio were slow to ct onto the Watergate stor The day police arroted Iiurglars at Watergate, CBS News recognized it as a story, as a possible majo- stcry. and that day we jumped all over it. The break-in was a load story m the CBS Saturday New� Wire services carried � few short report , but they were playing it down, The Washington Ko.tt printed nothing about the break-in that morning. The Host later covered itself in glory on the story, badly beating us and everyone else in the business, but the das of the breuk-in, the Post didn't have a line. Neither did most other pa- pers. None of our compet- ing networks led with the story. There is some ques- tion that they even men- tioned the story on major newscasts that day. Wash- ington's afternoon newspa- per, the Star-News, men- tioned the story, but wasn't dose to leading any rditinn with it. (0 All anybody had at that time were the barc-bones facts That mtr. wearing rr..-.'ks and gloves, Iheir iK� .fco!j filled with small bid', � uid been caught in democratic National Hciidquartcis Ibe people involved In the production of the CBS Saturday News, which conies out of New York, were curious and skeptical. They decided there was something smelly about the story. But they were operating mostly on in- stinct, instinct toned by experience - but instinct nonetheless. We delivered a little that summer but not much We worked our tads thin. Bui facts «rd people who knew anything re- mained. for us scarce. By September the feel- ing of frustration led to formation o! a special unit to coordinate effort to cojne up with r.cw ways of attacking the story. As September faded into October, we were able to turn up little. Many ru- mor , few facts. CBS News was putt ng some stories about Watergate on the air, more than our broad- cast competitors. tt� t piti- fully few compared to what we were pending in money, time and effort. So why were we failing? Looking back on it, these arc some of the reasons: 1 The deadly daily diet of deceit sent us from the White House. Those dish- ing this out believed that if the Watergate story could be limited to the Post, :t could be contained and kept from spreading. Gullibility, lack of enough work, bad judg- ment and bad luck on the part of network concspon- deols - including this one — helped them succeed. So did the Wnite House pub- lic .cUttons operation that by congressional estimate cost $400 million n year. 2. The average network news corespondent has a heavy load of built-in daily broadcast responsibil- ities: Hourly radio reports and television insert for which preparation, includ- ing writing and technical logi.st.es, eats up an in- credible amount of time. Newspapermen usually have deadlines once a day. Broadcast reporters often have them one an hour or more This tends to make us best at covering break- ing stories, l.e., events as they happen. It tend. to make us les than best at piecing together compli- cated expos 3 None of us had the sense, the luck or the courage early enough to remove ourselves from the hully-gully of hour-by- hour daily coverage of our usual run of stories to con- centrate — gamble might be the better world — upon the Watergate story actually being what we suspected it could be. 4. We didn't have re- porters with long-standing contacts In the local police beat, and even as the story began unfolding, not enough effort was made to develop police department contacts. Not trying hard enough and fast enough to establish contacts within offices of local Federal DAN RATHER prosecutors, the FBI and the Justice Dept, also hutt, CASTER THREE 5. What we do the most of, ami in many way� what we do best, is prov:dc a national headline service for radio and television Even had CBS News or ony other network done the digging that the Post did, wc perhaps could not have communicated thr story itself so well. Newspapers and maga- zines simply arc superior to television and radio in some forms of communica- tion, and one of those forms is lengthy expose. For us It's partly a mat- ter of air lime. It is also portly the belief, especially in television, that if you give people too much in- formation at one time your effort becomes counterpro- ductive at a certain point. Watergate entailed a lot of Information. The Washington Post is a local paper in a one-in- dustry town. That industry DAN RATHER COMMENTARY_____________ is politics. CBS News is nationwide and not many of its viewer. and listeners care as much about politics as your average Washing- tonian If .i Post reader :� n't interested in a partic- ulm story, he simply turns t-ie page If a CxcnWtc viewer i n't interested ‘ in what Walter has on the screen, lit turns to the competition. 6. Finally, and most damnably, wc were not skeptical enough. I for cro simply had difficulty be- lieving that so many peo- ple in positions of high trust could and would lie 0 fbtlv about so nuen, so effectively, for so ler.g. And some of us, bred in the cautious- journalist tradition if being able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt all that you print or broadcast, may have been too cautious and may have demanded too much proof. What wo wanted on too Watergate story were farts and confirmed testimony developed on our own Try as we did, for all the rea- sons I have outlined — and more -• wc etill did not in mid-October have much of cither. Taking what we had de- veloped on our own plus what the Post and others had reported, we finally put together two docu- mentHryctU� ' ler the eve- ning news during the last two weeks of October. Since neither of the other Iwu networks was doing anything on the air with the story and White House pressure was tre- mendous against us, the airing of these two seg- ment took guts. Charles (Chuck) Colson was furious at CBS for broadcasting the two Wa- tergate story reviews on the evening news before the election. He, John Ehr- liehrr.an. Bob llaldemon, Dwight Chapin, and Ron- ald Ziegler, among others, had tiied their best to lead us away from the story. Coverage of live events is one of the things televi- sion and radio do best. Putting viewers and lis- teners there on the scene at a nominating conven- tion. at moon landing, on the top of a hurricane or even in tl� e street after a presidential assassination, this is what television does incomparably. Tlit live television Sen- ate Watergate hearings were a gradual course in civics and political science. They're among television’s finest hours. They .afe broadcast journalism at its prime; no iess. and in some ways more, than the Army-McCarthy bearings Of th- '30s. So what have we learned, those of us in and out of journalism? That although we need to pry no less attention to being a headline service, w© need to pay more at- tention to 't'.e ways and means of reporting impor- tant stories in dci’.

Solzhenitsyn’s latest :history By Mar Blackburn Reuter PARIS Nobel prize-winning writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn. In his latest book published abroad, said those responsible foi Stalinist prison camps in the Soviet Union should be tried in the same way as Nazi war criminals. Ho made his comment in Gulag Archipelago. a politically explosive history ol the camps whose text was seized by the Soviet security police (KGB) last August The first third of the book was published in Russian in Pari from another manuscript yes- terday. An English translation of the book will be published in the United States this spring. A representative of the P-ii pub- lishing house which brought out the hook here said -it could cause the dissident writer serious trouble. It could also prompt reprisal on the more than 200 survivors of prison camps who arc mentioned by name in the book. Speaking of KGB officials who ran the campj. Solzhenitsyn asked. Why was Get many able to judge its criminals after the war when this opportunity was not given to Russia In West Germany £6.000 Nazi criminals were sentenced by 1066. On a proportionate calculation, that would correspond to a quarter of a million for our country.” In excerpts from the book printed in the New York Times today, Sol- zhenitsyn blamed Lenin for starting Soviet terror policies, accused Josef Stalin of plotting a mass execution of Jews, and said Stalin possibly once helonged to the czarist secret police. Solzhenitsyn quoted Lenin’s call in January 1018 for a purge cf the Russian earth of U harfmul insects. In September I'll!). Lenin warned the writer Maxim Gorky, who had protested arrests, not to spend his energy whimpering over rotten intel- lectuals.” Lenin Is somewhere between saint and messiah in Soviet theology. Publicly branding him a an advo- cate of terror is rare, perhaps un- precedented in Soviet life. Solzhenitsyn said Stalin had de- vised a plot to harass, murder and imprison thousands of Jews in 1953. The author said the late dictator had whipped up anti-Jewish feelings in a pi ess campaign beginning in January 1953, but died before being able to complete the plan. Solzhenitsyn said the plan en- tailed falsely accusing Influential Jews, particularly physicians, of plotting to murder high Soviet cfli- cials. Attributing his information to •'rumors, but obviously giving th« repoits great credence, Solzhenitsyn BOOK, Page 5 BOOK Continued from Page 1 said months of whipping up anti-Jewish sentiment would have culminated in a night of looting and kill- ings, after which “the gov- ernment would intervene generously to’ save the Jews from the wrath of the people, and on that very same night remove them from Moscow to the Par East and Siberia, where barracks -were al- ready prepared for them Solzhenitsyn also says there arc psychological reasons' for suspecting Stalin of having once joined the Czarist secret police, or Okhrana. One of Stalin’s favorite themes, writes Solzhenit- syn, “was to ascribe to every arrested Bolshevik, and, in general, to every arrested revolutionary, service in the Czarist Okh- rana. Was this merely in- tolerant suspiciousness? The author supports his reasoning with the report- ed contention of a former czarist police official that the hurried burning of sec- lct police records after the overthrow of Czar Nicholas in February 1917. was in- tended to avoid embarrass- ing certain interested per- sons. The book was published in Paris by a small Rus- sian-lar.guage house called YMCA Press, which has in the past printed Russian- language editions of other Solzhenitsyn works in- cluding August 1914, The First Circle, and Cancer Ward. Vladimir Prokofiev, a YMCA Press editor said the new book had been printed from a manuscript corrected by Solzhenitsyn and he indicated that it had been brought to Par is in the last few months by intermediaries. Last Aug 28. Solzhenit- syn told Western newsn-.er. his life had been threat- ened. apparently by KGB agents, who demanded he drop his dissident activi- ties and writinC or rot in prison A week later, he said a fnend, Elizaveta Voronyenskaya. was ar- rested in Leningrad and after five days of interro- gation, handed over a copy of the book to the KGB. She returned home and committed suicide by hanging, Solzhenitsyn said. He wrote: ‘T kept my- self from printing this book all these years be- cause of my duty towards those still living —proba- bly referring to the 272 camp prisoners inter- viewed for the book. But since the KGB seized my book, there is nothing left but to publish it immediately. Ke began work on the history two years after publication in the Soviet Union of his fictionalized account of his own experi- ence in the camps — A Day in the Life of Ivan Denitovitch” — in the I960 . YMCA Press, a private company which was for- merly linked with the Young Men's Christian A� n.. said lhat Gulag Ar- chipelago provided a doc- umented history, with names, of prison camps fr« m 1918 to 19f 8 dedi- cated to ai: those who were not able to live encugh to be . ble to tell. Solzhenitsyn identifies three peak periods for camp operations 1929- 1931, 1937-1939 and 1914- 1916. During the 1929-1931 period when collectiviza- tion of farm holdings was at its height ’ the number of peasants who were ar- rested and deported is put at 13 million he wrote He gave no exact figures for the other two periods which he said involved distinctly different types of mass arrests. Those arrested in 1937- 1939 were people with a situation, a political past, people with education and among the wounded who remained in the towns, he added. Between 1944 and 1946 entire peoples — certain of the Soviet minorities like the Kalmuchs and the Ci- mcan Tarts is — were sent to Siberia. Solzhenitsyn wrote. (Robert Kaiser of the Washington Post reported from Moscow that Solzhe- nitsyn’s decision to publish the beck is an unprece- dented personal challenge to the Kremlin leadership. (If Solzhenitsyn’s book justifies the advance no- tices by its publishers st will be a severe blow to tnc Soviet Union’s image Sn the outside world. It will also reopen old wounds by vividly reviving the is- sue of Stalinism, which the current Soviet leadership has tried to avoid m recent years (The book appeals to be a much more direct criti- ci riv Of the Soviet system than Solzhenitsyn's earlier books. By calling for the punishment of those who participated in S t a 1 i n’s terror, Solzhenitsyn is in- directly but unmistakably asking for sanctions against some current Sovi- et officials. By comparing Soviet officials to Nazi war criminals, he is throwing what Russians consider the supreme insult in their faces.) 65 of terror YMCA Press describee the book as a shattering experience while Solzhe- nitsyn himself writes that it is a momument of soli- darity with all the martyrs and dead of the years from 1918 to 1958. The publishers said Solzhenitsyn had taken Gulag — an area contain- ing a camp complex — as a symbol of an immense archipelago in the Soviet Union in which millions of detainees found them- selves brought together at the same time.” The author writes that future generations “will judge us as lamentable and contemptible because we first allowed ourselves to be beaten in our millions ar.d then glorified the criminals in their secure old age.” While calling for pun- ishment of those involved, he said We must be gen- erous and not shoot them, r.ot blow them up with salt water, not beat them with blows from boots, not grip their skulls in steel bands, not shut them up behind fences where they lie one on another like luggage No. nothing of all that should be done But the guilty should be tried and be made to admit ’Yes. I was an exe- cjtiwier ar.d a criminal , Solzhenitsyn wrote. We must publicly con- demn the very idea of vcr.gear.ee exercised by men on other men. other- wise young people may believe that baseness on earth remains unpunished ar.d earns well-being, he added. Solzhenitsyn estimates that Soviet repression was 10 to 1000 times greater than czarist repression, depending on whether one is talking about arrest, ex- lie or execution His fig- ures for specific incidents are much higher than those previously cited in the West, such as a sugges- tion that 600,000 people were arrested after the assassination of Leningrad party leader Sergei Kirov in 1934. He suggests that the Russians also had more victims than the Nazis. Significantly, the book ends soon after Nikita Khrushchev started his fust de-Stalinization cam- paign and altered the pat- tern of terror. J. G. Aiken J. B. Anderson V. Badger P.L. Baer J.E.

Rossiter Jr. United Press International There won’t be any manned pac shots for the next year and a half, but the space agency plans to double its unmanned satel- lite missions in 197« with the heaviest emphasis yet on practical work. Twenty-six satellites are on the National Space and Aeronaut!,' Administra- tion's NASA schedule for the new year, the most since the 28 flights in 1967. Twelve of the upcoming launchings are for commu- nications satellites and five are for weather watchers. Most again will go from Cape Canaveral. There were 13 ciliyian shot in 1973, including the launch of the Skylab Space Station in May and three crews rendezvousing with it in May, July and November. The final three-man team of Skylab astronauts is scheduled to return Feb 8 after spend- ing a record 12 weeks in orbit. If the current flight in the orbiting lab goes along as planned, the nine Sky- lab crewmen will have logged more than 12,009 man-hours In space — al- most double the time spent aloft by the men of Ameri- ca's 27 earlier spaceflights. But Project Skylab is con- ducting research for the future, while the 197« un- manned missions will have a more immediate payoff. Unless a Skylab rescue flight I required, the United State will not be launching astronauts again until July. 1975, when three Apollo pilot will go into orbit to rendezvous and dock with a two-man Soviet Soyuz spacecraft The new generation space shuttle rocket plane will be making major headway on the drawing boards and in the test labs of many • aerospace con- tractors. but it won't fly in space until 1979 at the earliest. Besides the ongoing Skylab mission, NASA has three unmanned space- rights carrying on lr.to the new year. The Poineer 10 is now on its way out of the solar system after an historic flight past Jupiter Dec 3. and a twin, called Pioneer 11. is due to reach Jupiter next December. Tho Mariner 10 Television Scout is cruising to' a February rendezvous with Venus and on to a March passby of Mercury. There are several new scientific missions on the 167« schedule, including •n unprecedented Ger- m� n-American probe close to the Sun, but the commu- nications and weather sat- ellites will be the big Job of the year. Three of the radio relay satellite will he the first designed solely to relay messages data and televi- sion communications with- in the United State . The first of these new relay stations, called Wester and owned by Western Union, is to be launched April 11 from Cape Canaveral. Six other companies are moving into the domestic communications satellite business and the outlook appears unlimited. NASA’s role is limited to launching and iniial tracking ser- vices. for which it is reim- bursed. You can get a feeling for the potential of the newly instituted domestic satellites by looking at current revenue of tele- phone, radio and television which is about $18 million a year,” said NASA ad- ministrator James C. Fetehcr. The Internationa! Tele- communications Satellite Consortium (INTELSAT), of which America’ Com- sat Corp., is the principal partner, is the pioneer in the commercial satellite business and now has an annual revenue of $260 million and a global net- work of satellites. Three more large IN- TELSAT 4 satellites are scheduled for launch in 197« from Cape Canaveral. One is to go into a 22,300- mi'.e high stationary orbit Jan. 30, the other two are set for flight Ln June and August In addition, Comsat !s having two new satellites huilt to relay communica- tions from ships at sea to all side of the oceans. They are called Marisat and will be leased by the US Navy at first and later used for commercial mari- time traffic. The first Mar- isat is set fer launch In September, with the sec- ond to fly two months later—both from Cape Ca- naveral NASA al o will launch two Skynet 2 military communication satellites for Great Britain on Jan. 17 and in June. Ar.d the agency plans to orbit an experimental applications technology satellite in April that, among other things, will beam educa- tional television to remote areas in the United States. The last launch of 197« Is scheduled to be the first flight of a new experimen- tal communications satel- lite, Symphonic, built by Franc and West Ger- many. Three of the five weath- er aatellites on the 197« launch schedule will be new type spacecraft de- signed to soar into station- ary orbits where each will be able to maintain a con- stant watch on the clouds over on third of the globe. NASA also will launch an operational, lower alti- tude weather satellite for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra- tion (NOAA) in July from the West Coast Spact Cen- ter at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. An advanced, exper- imental Nimbus Weather Satellite also i set for launch from California in June. The only experimental rocket flight is set for Jar.. 2« from Cape Canaveral when a combination of the Air Force' triple-barreled Titan 3 and NASA's Cen- taur upper stage will be test flown Into orbit This Titan-Centaur is scheduled to launch Viking Mars landing craft In 1975. Two of the 197« launch- ings will be carried out Jan JO and In April by Italian engineers from the Indian Ocean Firing Plat- form called San Marco, off the coast of Africa. Ameri- can-built Scout Rocket will orbit acientlfic aatel- lites built by Italy and Britain. Soviets land instruments on Mars By Robert Cooke Globe Staff An instrument package from Russa’s Mars 6 spacecraft the th-rd in a feries of four probes ar- riving at Man this month — has landed on the red planet's surface the Taas news agency reported yes- terday. A similar package from Mars 7 was damaged and overshot the plan- et, Tass said. Radio signals were received from the Mars 6 bundle as it floated through the planet’s atmosphere, but transmission broke off as the capsule neared the surface, Tass said. There was no immediate word on whether the instruments survived the landing. Tne package discovered that thcro is several times more water vapor in the atmosphere of Mars over some areas of its surface,” the news agency said. The instruments also produced new information about Murs relief, temperature, heat conductivity, soil structure and composition, the chemical compositior, of the lower layers of the atmosphere and the structure of its upper layers.” “Mars 6 will presumably at least duplicate the lander from Mars 3. said Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell Uni- versity. The Mars 3 spacecraft landed in December 1971 and carried atmo- spheric temperature and pressure sensors, and a television camera. There's reason to think, too, that Mars 6 and Mars 7 have gamma ray spectrometers to look at the radioac- tivity of the surface.” Sagan said. He explained that the gamma ray instrument should be able to tell Russian scientists something about Martian geology, but added: T would be surprised if there are any specific biological experiments aboard. Thus the Russian spacecraft probably won’t be able to answer the moat important question about Mars — is there life? Speculation about the fate of the 1971 craft. Mars 3. holds that it landed during a violent dust storm. It is believed the craft, blown by strong winds, bounced several times, turned over and lost communication with its orbiting relay station. There are no dust storms on Mars at present, so chances are any pictures received by the Russians will show surface closeups for the first time.

The survey was conducted in New York, Atlanta, Detroit ar.d New Orleans by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The agency, which has an office in Boston, en- forces all Federal firearms laws, li- censes dealers and manufacturers, and maintains a national gun tracing center. Dia Federal statistics were determined from a atudy of crimes in which law enforcement official re- covered weapons. Rex D. Davia, bureau director, reported that a total of 4537 hand- guns used in crime in the four cities since last July 1 were checked through the tracing center In Wash- ington and 3240 were found to be Saturday Night Specials. It is likely that this use of the small handgun in crime represents a growing pattern throughout the United States,” Davis said. We hope soon to expand this gun tracing pro- ject to other cities, particularly in the western United States, depend- ing upon the availability of bureau funds.” Davis said there had beep grow- ing awareness by law enforcement officials that an increasing number of the small handguns were being used in street primes. The guns cost $50 or leas and have barrels of three inchee or less, according to the bu- reau. The survey showed that 10 per- cent of the guns recovered in crime had been stolen, and there was a high rate of traffic in guns arross state lines, according to Davis. Three categories were used by the Federal gun experts in their pilot study. Gun costing more thin $100 and commonly used for law enforcemnt, collecting, sporting and target «hoot- ing were placed in Class A. Weapons costing between $50 ar.d $100 and used for sporting, personal protection and hunting were In Clasa B. The Saturday Night Special '' ■were placed In the loweat category, Class C. Davis said one phase of the sur- vey was to identify the guns used in crime. Another waa to trace them back to their source and the third phase was to eliminate the source. Seventy-eight case Involving fire- arms violations have been opened by the Federal agents as a result of the study. The New York City project has been completed, but those in Detroit, Atlanta and New Orleans are contin- uing, the bureau director reported The Federal gun tracers learned that 1966 of the 2548 handguns re- covered in New York City came from 46 states and nina foreign countries and Involved 89 manufac- turer . New York City I considered to have the itrictest gun law in the country. The major sources of the guna found in New York City were South Carolina, Florida. Georgia, Virginia, Texas and North Carolina. During 17 separate investigations In South Carolina, ATF agent de- termined that 39,517 firearms were involved in interstate violations or were destined for disposition ui the New York area, Davis said The guru found in Atlanta came from 29 states, but the majority originated in Georgia. The Detroit (study showed guru were transported from Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Mis- sissippi, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. Of the guns recovered In New ■Orleans, Davis Mid, the itate of ori- gin of only 12« was determined. Sixty-two percent were from Louisi- ana and the other were from 18 other states.

Bradsher Washington Star-News HONG KONG — The founder of modem China end one of the major his- toric figures of our time. Mao Tse-Tung was 80- years-old last week and engaged :n what seems an unending political strug- gle. Mao is still pursuing hi life-long goal of making China prosperous and powerful according to his own highly personal blend of eclectic philosophy and earthy practicality, a blend more nationalist than Communist. Tna progress achieved through two cccades of warfare and a quarter- century of economic ef- forts has been immense. But the problems ore also immense, and the difficul- ties of holding China to the implementation of his methods continue to trou- ble Mao. The chairman of the Chinese Communist Party is striving to remold the attitudes of the Chinese people He has continually felt the necess.ty to do battle with relapses from his visionary ideals. Mao's battles have had a cyclical quality in recent decades There have been periods of assertion in public affairs to try to in- sure the implementation of his methods, followed by withdrawal into a more aloof role, disappointment and reassertion. The groat proletarian cultural revolution of 1968-69 was one of those assertive surges, the most spectacular attack by Mao on what he felt had gone wrong. But it seems now to have failed to insure China against a relapse into what Maoists label “revisionism” but outsid- ers might call human frailty. The result on the chair- man's 80th birthday is yet another Mao-inspired at- tack on the daily leader- ship of the country. This time the main target is Premier Chou En-Lei, who thus finally joins tha long line of one-tin� close asso- ciates of Mao against whom he has turned. Whether Mao will go to the extent of trying to brand Chou a traitor to Communism, a conspirator and renegade — as he h s branded an incredible list ot formerly trusted depu- ties—remains to be seen. Events are moving In that direction but might never get there. This new struggle l typical of a lifetime of contention. Mao has been in continual conflict not only with outside enemies but also with his own com- rades who interpreted the requirements of practical problems differently from him. There is r.o reason to be- lieve that it will ever be any different so long as Mao is healthy. He has not made a full- scale public appearance in more than two and a half years. Reports of his nu- merous private meetings with foreign visiters indi- cate, however, that he is in fairly good health for his age. Mao attained intellectual maturity in a period when educated Chinese were ag- onizing over their coun- try's weakness and vulner- ability to foreign pres- sures. Many intellectuals were searching for foreign models which could bo used to restore the preetige of The Middle Kingdom.” Mao's own search was Intensely nationalistic, his early writings imbued with a fervor for helping China to be strong ar.ri re- spected. In his search he discovered Marxism as it was expounded by the Russians in a first blush of idealism following the Bolshevik Revolution. An irony of history Is that many young Chinese were particularly attracted to Communism by a Rus- sian promise to relinquish eurist imperial acquisi- tions from China, but this idealistic attitude In Mos- cow soon pasted. The pre- sent Sino-Sovict feud is partly based on the bitter legacy of those acquisi- tions. “No investigation, r.o right to speak.” was the slogan Mao adopted during one of his firs: leadership struggles. It was hi in- sistence upon studying re- ality and drawing conclu- sions from it, rather than attempting to lay down rules without adequate knowledge of conditions, that gave Mao polemical strength and eventually political power. Moo recognized that In- dustrial workers in China were too few and too vul- nerable to police and army control to make a solid cornerstone of the Com- munist movement He began to realize in 1925 that an aroused peasantry could become the vehicle for changing China. In rural areas. fir t In Kiangsi Province of South China ar.d then after tne fighting retreat of the long march of 1935 in Yenan on the northwestern fringe of the Chinese heartland, Mao built up a peasant movement He also estab- lished his personal domi- nance. partly by argumen- tative skill ar.d partly be- cause his rural forces sur- vived while urban Com- munists were destroyed. Men like Liu Shao-Chi and Lin Piao. who were counted as Mao' closest supporters in defeating Communist party enemies, were accused in recent years cf being secret ene- mies even at that time. The Chinese Communist Party won control of the country and established the People’s Republic :n 1949 as a result of several factors. The Japanese War aga-.nst China was a key one It weakened the gov- ernment of Chiang Kai- shek while giving the Communists a patriotic basis for building their strength. Perhaps the key factor was the corrupt inefficien- cy of Chiar.g's regime. It was a degenerately op- pressive version of tradi- tional Chinese dictatorial rule, callously uncon- cerned with the misery of the masses. Communism was a tool for defeating Chiang by preaching power for the workers. peasant and urban. 3ut this was Com- munism in a pragmatic sense. In the convoluted theo- retical form which Com- munism has become to suit Russian character and So- viet needs. Mao was not a Communist. At Yenan he attemoted to establish h'mself as a theoretician to achieve nresti e in the world Communist move- ment. but it was a weak effort. The Kremlin has in re- cent years scathingly de- nied that Mao Is ically a true Communist. There is some truth to the accusa- tion. If one accepts the So- viet version of Marxism as the norm. “Mao has continual ly felt the necessity to do battle icith relapses from his visionary ideals. 3-day work week No end in sight for Cambodia’s futile war begins today, but can Britain blame energy?

It said 30 commu- nists and 16 government soldiers died in the fight- ing. By T D. Allman Manchester Guardian THE GREATEST of the Cambodian war's many tragedies is that no one now knows how to end it In Washington. Phnom Penh, and Peking, the strategists who have spend the past three years and nine months saying the Cambodian war could be ended with a single, deci- sive military or diplomatic stroke are still saying the same thing. But the fact is that mili- tarily and diplomatically, there simply is no end in sight for what surely must be the world’s saddest, least honorable, and most unnecessary war. The indecisive futility of the Cambodian struggle was recently summed up in the UN General Assem- bly. when the world voted to postpone a decision on NEWS ANALYSIS the Cambodian question for another year. Techni- cally. the vote resulted in Marshal Lon Nol's Khmer republic retaining Cambo- dia's United Nations by the narrowest of margins. In fact, the vote did not improve the dismal pros- pects of the Lon Nol re- gime, but It had what Pen- tagon strategists call “de- nial value It denied Prince Sihanouk and hia Khmer Rouge ollies a major diplomatic victory. So the diplomatic struggle, like the military now, will continue without decision. The fact In Cambodia now is that both sides have lost the capacity for mean- ingful success. The Khmer Rouge forces cannot lake Phnom Penh, and the forces flying Lon Nol's flag have no hope of hold- ing anything in Cambodia except a series of encircled and Impoverished outposts. On both sides the inca- pacity to take decisive ac- tion is the product of in- ternal political problems as well as the callous cal- culations of foreign pow- ers. On the Insurgent side, the high cost of mutual suspicion between the Si- hanouk wing and the Khmer Rouge wing of the United National Front of Cambodia is now self-evi- dent. Sihanouk missed de- posing Lon Nol from the UN by three votes — and there is no doubt, a non- Communist diplomat re- marked recently, “that Si- hanouk would have won had he claimed to be the sole legitimate Govern- ment of Cambodia from inside Cambodia, rather than from a foreign Pe- king. The reason why Siha- nouk has not returned to Cambodia to wage his struggle there can be summed up in a single sentence: The Khmer Rouge do not want Siha- nouk in Cambodia, except as a tourist Long negotia- tions recently between Si- hanouk and Khmer Rouge resulted in the transfer of some ministerial responsi- bilities — rather than of ministers —from Peking to Cambodia. But S.hanouk remains in Peking because, as one diplomat expressed it: The Khmer Rouge don't trust Sihanouk, and he doesn't trust them Internationally. It is now also clear that the Khmer Rouge have been denied a major military victory — that is, been prevented from ending the war — because their own Com- muniit allies do not find it expedient for them to win such a victory. The Cam- bodinns claim maj the North Vietnamese will not supply them — yet Hanoi pretests its goodwill. But the expenditure of ord- nance probably tells the tale most objectively. Last year in Vietnam, the Vietcong were able to expend several thousand of rounds of mortar fire dally during the siege of An I ac. This year, at Kampong Cham, the Khmer Rouge were unable to sustain a barrage of several hundred rounds.

You like that year-old car bet- ter than any you've ever owned. U'a sleek and roomy and accelerate� like a zip gun when you're in a tight passing situation on the interstate. But It also drinks gaso- line — you get maybe 10 mile a gallon — and with ell that talk about gas ra- tioning and prices perhaps looming to $1 a gallon you feel you reed to trade down to a smaller car. What should you do? What can you expect? Listen to Albert Lee, Detroit automotive writer and author of books thst purport to tell you how to increase your chances of getting a better buy on a used car.

Hail act signed, boosting service for New England Aspin reports oil officials © gave S5m to re-elect Nixon ASIAN CIRCUIT By CROCKER SNOW JR. Odd twist in politics overseas TOKYO—The annual end of the year lutings of the 10 Rest, the 10 Worst and the 10 Most Trifling provide a useful re- minder of the importance of perspective. The editors of America picking the top 10 news stories of 1973 chose Water- gate number one. Editors In Europe ar.d Asia in separate polls put the scandal itory halfway down the list, behind the Middle East war tne energy ensia and. in the case of the Europeans, the Nixon- Brezhnev summit conference and the overthrow of Aller.de in Chile. The differences show that news, like chanty, begins at or close to home. The Arab-Israell war and tha resul- tant oil shortage has had much greater effect Sr. most parts of the world than in self-sufficiency-prone America. Water- gate, by contrast, has been an entertain- ing, albeit unsettling, diversion for those across the Atlantic ar.d Pacific This is not to say that Watergate hasn't had its effect overseas. In Asia, the presidents, prime minis- ters. premiers and plenipotentiaries of the eastern world grumble about the pre- occupation of the White House with Wa- tergate and the erratic fits and starts of Washington policy-making as a result. Many have carefully distanced them- selves from the Nixon Administration in the last few months. Significantly though, Richard Nixon's two most faithful followers overseas have turned out to be the leaders of Russia and China. It was last summer, during a rare meeting with western newsmen in the Kremlin bafore departing for his summit meetings in Washington, that Leonid Brezhnev felt disposed to offer up some unsolicited support for the President I do not intend tn refer to that matter (Watergate). he said. It would be com- pletely indecent for me to refer to it. My attitude toward Mr Nixon is of very great respect.” Last October Chou En-lai. inter- viewed by New York Times man C. L. Sulzberger, was described as expressing the hope that President Nixon could overcome his political problems. We never use the word scandal in discussing this.” Chou was quoted. “Since it is en- tirely your internal affair, we have never published anything about it in our press.” Thus, Richard Nixon, the Red baiter and kitchen debater of 15 years ago, is now offered comfert and condolence by the Communist commissars. In the pantheon of all-time ironies, this has to constitute one of the most supreme. The explanation is not difficult. It • not in a simple sense that the Communist capitals arc accustomed to the kind of immoral methodology shown by many of the Watergate gang and wish to welcome a new member into the club. Rather it is a matter of straightforward self-interest The Soviet and Chinese leaders are motivated mainly -by their fear of each ether. There is the mental threat of com- peting ideologies and the physical threat of a common border. In real terms, it is only full friend- ship with the US that could reduce the threat for either one, or make it go away. The image of two willing suitors try- ing to win the hand of the oft-married maid in the White House is not altogether inappropriate. It takes little imagination to see that the maiden might be extra eager and the dowry especially bountiful at a time when few of her regular friends show much interest. Specifically, Chairman Brezhnev and Premier Chou each have staked a lot on President Nixon's desires for detente. The time is propitious—for one or the other, not for both. While the choice, if there is to be one, is in doubt. It means that if Mr. Nixon or his foreign policy collapses, both Com- munist leaders are especially vulnerable to the nay-sayers who are always there in the wir.gs. Thus, the slightly sardonic spectacle of Leonid Brezhnev and Chou En-lai elbowing each other for the right to ride on Richard Nixon’s almost immobile and possibly collapsible bandwagon. Politic , we are told, makes strange bedfellows. International politic makes bizarre boosters.

N eo The fai By H. WILLIAM SHURE Mulling over the subject matter for a speech which, in a weak moment, I had agreed to deliver at Dartmouth recently, ! considered and rejected a number of ap- proaches. mostly because I felt that after the saturatior, watching of the Wateigatc hearings, my audience would not profit by having me belabor the obvious. Then 1 thought back on a conversation that took place in Sen Weicker's office sometime in September. The senator, his legislative aide and I weie rehashing the incredible events in which we had been immersed since that fateful day on Api.l 1. 1973, when the whole thing began for us. We agreed, at we sat there on a brisk September day, that back in April we had never realized either the scope or the directions that these hearings would entail. What we did agree on, as we looked back, was that one of the most impressive asperts of the entire experience was the invaluable role the press had played in these investigations, and in our personal involvement in them We all agreed also that none of us had ever encountered people who worked harder, more com- petitively. under more difficult circum- stances than the people of the press. Admittedly, 1 speak within the limi- tation of my experience of jumping from nowhere into the biggest pond in the world.

They call it the triangulalion system” No story goes out in the New York Times, no story is run on CBS, no story is run m Newsweek or Time without a source and two con- firmations. When I started this project, I avoided the press as much as possible. I was afraid of them. I considered them to be under- mining the investigation. I was outraged by Jack Anderson's use of confidential grand jury transcripts, which testimony was coinciding and running parallel to the testimony we were acquiring dunng April, and 1 realty looked upon the press as the natural enemy 1 thought I ho writers and broadcasters were really hurt- ing the investigation. But at lime progressed. 1 acquired a respect and admiration for these people and acceptance of their very significant role. 1 would cite two examples of how Sen Weicker's understanding of the role of the press accomplished the goal that this committee should have been trying to achieve. The firs , instance came very early in the investigation On March 23, James McCord was to be sentenced. He gave tne now-famout letter to Judge Sirica indi- cating that people had perjured them- selves ar.d that false testimony had re- sulted in his being convicted. Sirica’s re- sponse drastically altered the proceedings: ■’I'm not going to sentence you, or I'm go- ing to piovisionaliy sentence you You go out and tell the story. You've got a great forum. Co tell the Senate And so the .Senate Committee quickly convened :n executive session and started to listen to McCord's testimony on March 23. The committee became obsessed with what we like to call ' the Liddy tactic.” The members were so preoccupied with Mc- Cord’s story about what Liddy had done that ‘.hey forgot that the Investigation— or forgot that the-whole Watergate affair —was more than a “third-rgte burglary.” We.ckcr was the low min on the to- tem pole, so there was very little that he could do to re-direct the committee. But on March 28, m an interview with UPI, he said, We’ve got to lock to the people re- sponsible and I know there are people re- sponsible in the White House for some of the dirty tricks.” It was this interview, incidentally, which inspired that famous conversation between John Ehrlichman and Richard Kleindienst — tape recorded by Ehrlichman without Kleindienst’� knowledge—when they discussed this ’’problem they were having with Weicker They were upset because they were afraid that Weicker knew about Donald Segrett: When they heard the word dirty tricks,” they assumed that was what Weicker was talking about. Next, Weicker went before the press in Washington and made a statement that those in the White House responsible for the setting up of the Committee to Re- elect the President ought to be investi- gated and that that was the direction the investigation should take. A few days later, on April 1. he went on Face the Nation” and for the first time, he used the name Haldeman. He said that Haldernan was the man In charge of personnel, and that Haldeman was the man who was do- ing the hiring. Let’s ask some questions of Haldeman. he urged. Three days later Weicker was having breakfast with the editorial board of the Christian Science Monitor. (These break- fasts are a frequent pres tool in Wash- ington. The various networks or the va- rious newspapers will get all of their Washington correspondents together and invite a particular Individual to have breakfast with them. They will talk some- times on the record, and sometimes of! the record ) During the course of the on- the-record conversation with the Monitor editorial board, Weicker was asked Do you think that Haldeman ought to be fired? The senator replied: I don’t think he ought to be fired, I think he ought to re- sign.” Within an hour every wire service in the country was reporting that Weicker had demanded Haldeman’s resignation. After 24 hours. Sens. Ervin and Baker issued a statement that the committee had no evidence indicating that Haldeman had committed any illegal acta. But the Inter- esting result is that the direction of the committee changed as of that day and we then began to concentrate not on the Liddy tactic, but with Magruder. with Haldeman, with the people who were doing the hir- ing, with the people who were issuing the When started this project, molded the press ... I was afraid of them. I considered them to be undermining the in- vestigation . . . But as time progressed, f acquired a respect and admiration for these people and acceptance of their very significant role. instructions. Even though Sens. Baker and Erv.n chastised Weicker publicly, the fact is the staff did tum its spotlight onto areas beyond the seven individuals who happened to break into the Watergate. An interesting result, probably the most dramatic moment of my short-lived career in Washington, came when Terry Lcnzr.er and I decided that we had better call Robert Riesner. We suddenly real- ircd that nobody—the US Attorney, the FBI, or anyone else—had interviewed him. Riesner .was Magruder a administra- tive assistant. He was the one witness who knew the whole story, or at leas , knew the beg.nnmgs of the whole story, and was the one witness capable of open- ing the floodgates Or. April 8. Terry Lenrner and I were sitting with Riesner and his lawyer, when, suddenly, we heard the word ’•Gemstone ” Then we heard about the Gemstone file and tne phone coli on June 17 from California instruct- ing Riesr.er to get the file out of the office. Wc heard about the Gemstone file be- ing brought to John Mitchell This may not seem so dramatic today, but on April 8. nobody — 1 mean no on outside the Committee to Re-elect the President — had ever heard the word Gemstone. In the process of following through on this. Terry and 1 went back to Liddy’ secretary, whom we had al- ready interviewed We went through the whole line of questioning that we had the day or two before and got the same an- swers and then one of us just wont ahead and said the word Gemstone. Oh, yes, I remember typing Gem- stone, she said. Suddenly, we hid a whole new case. What happened after that is even more interesting. When Magruder was before the committee in public session, he testified that what motivated him to gc to the US Attorney and finally tell his whole story about what actually had happened was the fact that he had heard '7 usant to say two things about the press: It has incredible competitiveness . . . and it has a self-imposed requirement of ac- curacy that frankly suprised me. that Riesner had been called to our com- mittee and he knew that one Riesner was called, the truth would be exposed. So that's one way in which press cov- erage accomplished what the normal channels or the normal procedures of ex- ecutive session or senators sitting to- gether or staff sitting together weren't able to do in focusing the investigation where it should be going. Another example was the Pat Gray story. Pat Gray had. on April 5, an- nounced that he was going to ask the President to withdraw hi name as permanent director of the FBI. hut by Assistant minority counsel describes: April 24. he was still on as tne acting director. Gray and I .o well Weicker had had some contact by virtue of their gov- ernment roles and the fact that Gray was from Connecticut On April 25, Gray suddenly called Weicker on the phone and said that he had something very Important to tell him. What he had to tell him was that he had been given a file by Enrlichman and Dean, and that he had interpreted their instructions to mean that he should burn that file. There is an interesting thought with regard to this. On April 25, we had subsequently learned that Dean knew that Gray had destroyed the file. Ehrlieh- man knew that Gray had destroyed the file. Klrlndienst knew it, Peterson knew it. and the President knew it And really the only ones wno didn't know that Gray had destroyed thatafile were the American people. I’m not going to speculate as to what that information was being eaved for. or why that information was being con- cealed, or why that information hadn't become a part of the grand jury investi- gation at that point. The fact of the mat- ter was that it was being held back and we knew that when the information was to be levealed. it would come out in a way ttiat was going to help nobody but the Administration, which was busy try- ing to cover itself on all sides. The story has since become history but Weicker. on a Wednesday nignt, called three people in the press that he knew to be extremely responsible correspond- ents: Jim Wiehart of the Daily News, Walt Kugabcr of the New York Times, and Paul Duka of NBC. He told them the Pat Gray story.‘Eventually, those three people met with Weicker and some of us on hss staff two’or three times. We went over the story. We rehashed the story We rehashed the motives of the story and eventually that story was told to the American people. And it was told in a way that we believed brought the truth to the public in a manner that, quite frankly, would be helpful to Pat Gray The press fulfilled the role of getting that information to the public. Now the question comes up, why should the press tell these stories? Why get the American people involved? I think the lesson is that somehow when the American people find out what really happened in things like this, the right result comes about. I'm not saying that it always will happen, and Tin not saying it will happen on a timely basis But somehow, through the history of this country, the more facts the American people have, the more things seem to work out right. This is a theory that 1 know Sen. Weicker follows, and I think it is a theory that a lot of other people now understand as a result of the Watergate hearings. 1 remarked to some people at dinner recently that I think the greatest short- coming that the committee had was the failure to recognize the significance that the press played and could play m this investigation Unfortunately, the competitiveness of the pi ess that I have mentioned caused a lileial flood of leaks. But the leak situ- ation really go: bad during the course of the hearings because r-«oplf were fighting to save stories for the hearings and people were figntlng to get stories out and vari- ous political people were Issuing stories because they thought they might be the most helpful to themselves. Clearly, what the committee should have done and what it never did do was to appoint a pi css officer. Thcie should have been somebody out there to say that Today we re interviewing x, y, and z. And today we're going to have in public hearings Mr Jones, and we expect him to testify as follows, . . This arrangement would have elim- inated the speculation, it would have eliminated what inaccuracy there was and it would have given the American people a more proper perspective as to what was coming It certainly would have kept their interest up. And 1 don't think that the press would have missed a single story during the course of the hear- ings. There is no question that tho vast majority of Americans was very much interested in what the committee was doing, at least through the August recess. I think it would have been a lot more bencftc.al (or everyone involved had there been a designated person to point out to the press what was happening and to pro- vide an up-to-date, coherent br.eflng as to what was transpiring. Bat I think the real lesson to be learned out of this, from my perspective. 3 Watergate ‘Cubans’ to be paroled in March after a year in prison Reuter WASHINGTON — Three Cuban exiles who took part in the Water- gate break-in won their bid lor early release from prison yesterday. When they go free March 7th they will be the first defendants in the case to have gone the full route from arrest through punishment. The US Parole Board voted to au- thorize early release for Eugenio Martinez, 51. Frank Sturgis. 49, and Virgilio Gonzalez. 47. All three have been serving sen- tences of one-to-four years. They will have spent about a year in pris- on by the time they are freed. Throughout their trial, the Cu- bans claimed they had not realized the exact nature of the operation they were recruited for — tha break-in and bugging of the Demo- cratic Party's national headquarters t the Watergate. Tney argued that their superiors In the operation had told them its purpose was to search for evidence of a suspected link between tha Democrats and the Castro govern- ment in Cuba. 7 don’t suggest the press in ftnicless.

GirswoltL Nixon rejects subpoenas by Senate panel Gold hits record $130 an ounce 85 Dollar regains its supremacy By Anthony Nicholas United Press International LONDON — The US dollar re- gained it place as the world's strongest currency yesterday, reach- ing its highest point since it was devalued and in disgrace U months ago. A complete victory,” sa;d one banker a j the dollar gained in Paris, Brussels and Vienna. The French franc, worth as much as 30 cents last summer, was worth less than 20 cents at the close of trading Monday. The commercial dollar, used in foreign trade, closed at 5.015 francs, the same rate it held before the dollar was devalued by 10 percent last February. The financial dollar, used by tourists, closed at 5.19 francs, up from 5 02 on Monday The dollar closed at 43 6125 Bel- gian franc in Brussel and at 21 30 Austrian schilling ir. Vienna—both post-devaluaticr. highs. Cold briefly touched a record price of $130 an ounce in early trading on the b;g London bullion exchange, but slipped to $126.50 by mid-afternoon -- still $4.25 higher than on Monday. (In Tokyo, the Japanese centra! 7h e comet bank reversed its policy yesterday and intervened to shore up the fal- tering Japanese yen. The yen closed at 299.97 to the dollar, up a fraction from Monday's close of 299.50. The stabilization of the yen came only after the Japanese centra! bank said it would sell dollars in exchange for yen to keep the currency at 300 to the dollar, and finance minister Takeo Fukuca said the government would continue to sell dollars to keep the yen at this rate. Cn Monday, the bank refused to intervene and the yen finally fell in value nearly 7 percent—to 280 to the dollar—from last Friday. Trading on the Tokyo market yesterday amounted to an estimated $107 6 million, compared to Monday's $66 million. Under the international monetary agreement reached in December, 1971. the yen officially was pegged at 308 to the dollar.) The British pound, German mark ar.d Swiss franc gained slightly against Monday's price, but bankers said this could not last without in- tervention by central bankers. The pound sterling sold for $2.23, up two cents from Monday. The dcutschc- mark traded at 2.6650 to the dollar, tip from 2.8853 Monday, and- the Swiss franc closed at 3.4125 to the dollar, up from 3.42255 Monday. But continental bankers said they saw the mixed plateau as only a pause in the dollar s return to grace. They said the dollar’s climb would only be halted by intervention of central banks, which a year ago were scrambling to support the dollar, and a decision by the United State� to keep its exports cheap. Bankers said the mixed pattern was caused by heavy profit-taking by dealers who have been riding the crest of the dollar's recent strong performance. They said the US cur- rency could resume its rise today. And in Washington, Keuter re- ported that the Nixon Administra- tion was urged yesterday by an influential congressional economic panel to steadfastly pursue a con- tinuation of the float system for the dollar and other world currencies.

England on still another brink When times get really difficult in England, two thing typically hap- pen. One set of pecple talks about how bad things really are. And an- other set write about how prettily the nightingales.are singing. Thus it was, for instance, in World War II, when the lights went out, but per- mitted us to appreciate the distinc- tive whiteness of the cliffs of Dover. So it is today, when England — no kidding — teeters on the brink of the greatest parliamentary crisis since the general strike of the 20's. And poetic England responds.... ,.. .Nature has provided us with a succession of green dawns, writes the novelist Margaret Drabble from London for the New York Times. There has been an enormous moon gazing out of a silver sky, sur- rounded by stars the size of those in a nativity painting. One doesn't no- tice them so well, perhaps, when the street lighting is more powerful. The lights may have gone out on Oxford street, but Oxford street is horrible at the best of limit, and elsewhere it is the brightest winter ever. And Patrick Cosgrave, writing in the Spectator, talks quite seriously about the possibility of a military coup in England. It is, one would think Inconceivable, and Cosgrave is fidgety at the mere mention of the possibility, even as would be. say. a reporter for Osservatore Romano, discussing the prospect of the Pope's resignation in order to marry. But Cosgrave is unflinching, and leans where he can on other authority. 'That brilliant historian Mr. Alistair Horne, he writes, has drawn dis- W1LLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR. turbing parallels between the Chil- ean experience and the likely, devel- opment of our own. But we can hardly believe it could happen here. Well: could It? The answer la, yes. of course. Here is what especially qualifies England these days for a collapse of the parliament: 1. The political leaders «re rot trusted. Mr. Heath went to power promising genuine reforms, most particularly an effective set of laws governing the trade unions, whose antinomiar.tsm had become a nation- al scandal not unrelated to Mr. Wil- son s looming impotence in the last months of his tenure The laws were more or less.passed. Then the unions, like the students in America during the 60's, nudged up against authority to learn whether there was anything there really to stop them. There wasn't. The unions twice brought Heath to his knees. The public, though restive, was not mutinous. It did not demand exemplary- action aimed at bringing the unions to heel. 2. The gulf between official rhet- oric and public reality grows For all that everyone In England takes vow to parliamentary supremacy, increasingly Parliament is circum- vented. Heath does it with his Euro- pean policies and his Pay Board; Wilson condones riotous Labor oppo- sition; and the Liberal, Jeremy Thorpe, experiments with reforms which would simply destroy Parlia- ment. What Cosgrave calls the “spi- der's web of consensus is threaten- ing to collapse. If public officials do not follow the Constitution (I trans- pose an American formulation), why should others do so? 3. Others, in this case, is most specifically the British military. Here is an important point: the Brit- ish military is at this moment totally professional There are no conscripts there, to side with the people or to defy orders the parliamentary prov- enance of which is in dispute. More- over, In times of great national strew, the military tend to be. as Cosgrave puts it. the final reposito- ry of patriotism, though it i« usuaily a simple, sometimes a narrow, and occasionally an embittered patriot- ism. And this is an amly that has experienced its own Algeria—in Northern Ireland, where it got its stomach full not only of terrorist lead, but of political rhetoric. What might trigger it to act? 4. There is talk that r.o general election would be called largely be- cause it wouldn't settle anything If the Conservatives were voted b� ck in. they would move from impotence to impotence. Labor would only go back in on the shoulder of a revolu- tionary mandate the Bi.tish aren't going to give. Therefore? The international consequences of such an event would probably prove as drastic as the French Revolution. I suppose one should be grateful that at least it would end the bickering between Congress and the President. Wifom F. Buckley Jr. u a ryn- dieattd columniil.

President Nixon is the next witness in the case — just as he was las: June 29. when John Dean’s deadly monotone finally ceased. He is. in fact, the only witness left to be heard in the case of the erased tape. He alone car deny, re- fute or explain the testimony of the experts, whose findings left Judge John J Sinca with an impression of a distinct possibility of unlawful conduct on the port of one or more persons. Thanks to those six experts, the overpopulated, incoherent Watergate drama has been reduced to the tidy, manageable proportions of a televi- sion mystery. In this whodunit, the question is who murdered the tape of June 20,1972? Tne lineup of prime suspects ha been narrowed to the three people who had constant, unquestioned ac- cess to the tape library They are Richard Nixon, 61, who has accord- ing to his doctor, trouble sleeping; Rose Mary Woods, 55, hi faithful secretary of 25 yeais who has, ac- cording to herself, trouble with me- chanical devices; and Stephen Bull, 31, his appointments secretary, who has trouble with his memory. In true mystery story style, they were gathered in one place at one time, las: October. They had the weapon—the Uhcr 5000 with the tell-tale buzz: they had the motive— salvation of Richard Nixon. And they had the opportunity, a weekend away from the haunted White House, in the President’s safe house in Florida. The setting was Key Biscayne — tropical, even idyllic, the wind rat- tling the palm trees, the ocean whis- pering nearby. They had left Wash- ington behind. But they had with them, as ever, the Secret Service, who watched them with unblinking eyes and who faithfully, fatefully re- corded every move they made. Their logs are the tablets of the prosecutors. Without them, we would not know, on the weekend of Oct. 4, the precise and frequent mo- ments when the tape safe was opened and shut and by whom. The Secret Service, like the experts, tell us what happened but not why. We need Richard Nixon for that A question for witness Nixon: Mr. President, what wos in the plain brown White House envelope that Stephen Bull took to your quar- ters at 2 a.ra. on Oct 5T' Bull could not help.

Bull doesn't know what was in the envelope — maybe 10 or more pages Did he have any conversation with Miss Jones about his late-night delivery? He had “no specific recol- lection. Nor could he recall if he talked about the tapes with the President and Gen. Alexander Haig later the samo morning — at 11:30, to be exact It was nothing unusual” for him to take an envelope from her villa to the President's quarters, even, it seems, at 2 o’ciock in the morning. Rose Mary Woods, who will sure- ly be called by the overburdened grand jury, which is getting the mystery to solve, swore she thought he had killed the tape, on Oct. 1, by pistake. But the experts say it couldn’t have happened the way she said. The tape of June 20 was done 'deliberately and clumsily, but by whom they do not know. The ncxt-to-thc-last chapter was written by the technicians, the elec- tronics wirards who performed the autopsy, the Secret Service who kept track of everybody. A man who saw enemies everywhere has been trapped by the records kept by men whose job :t is to protect him. His assistant press secretary, ob- serving that the FBI is or.ee again investigating and reporting to tha President, says that Richard Nixon still wonts to get to the bottom of it Ha's the only one who can take us there. .Very MtGrory is a syndicated (olunmst. e-ksTsna.uiex “Why, they fettfed for some tapes that don’t even have a hum in them yet.” I 92 Priest tells of exorcising demon from San Francisco family of 3 ART RICH WALD ‘The exorcist’ WASHINGTON—When it was firs', revealed that 18% minutes of a presiden- tial tape had been erased. Gen. A1 Haig said facetiously that :t was possible that some “sinister force” was at work which no one could explain. This became known as the devil theory and. while it was discarded by most people at the lime, it is now being re-examir.ed in the light of ihe latest testimony by tape experts. If the tape was indeed possessed by a sinister force, this mean; that President Nixon, or his staff, is completely innocent of destroying vital evidence To find out more about this I went to visit Dr. Karras Damien at Georgetown University, who is an expert on the devil and tape recorders. “We have had many cases of the devil possessing Sony recording machines, Dr. Damien said. But this is the first time I've heard of the devil getting into a Uher 5000. How do you know it’s the devil? I asked. Who else would want to erase 1814 minutes of tape? Certainly not the Presi- dent or Rose Mary Woods or anyone else associated ■ with the Watergate investiga- tion. The only one to gain on something like this is SaUn. ' I don't understand why the devil would get mixed up in Watergate. ‘ The devil’s job is to make trouble and raise doubts and plant suspicion. He knew the best way to do this was to get inside the Uher 5000 and wipe out por- tions of the tape that were vital to prov- ing the President’s innocence. Arc you trying to tell me the buzz wc heard on the tape was the devil? I am.

'■American tastes are lighter, is a favorite phrase of brewers, to which many beer drinkers have been known to reply, hor«feathers, or some such. American beer companies spend • lot of money advertising to con- vince Americans they like ‘light beer. And there is no doubt that American beer are light — some say sweet and tasteless. The difference is that European beers arc made from a richer mix- ture, and they ferment and ago at higher temperatui e� than US beers, resulting in a mellower, heavier product. They also take longer to make. From raw materials to finished product it takes about five weeks here, up to four or five months in Europe. The question arises, Iiowevcr how much of the American haste u to satisfy American ta� tes or how BEER, Page 34 much is to satisfy cost con- trol analyses. The sooner you bottle a beer and get it out to sell, the lew the production process cost , sr.ri the bigger the profits. And the US companies point to their continuing high sales figures as an in- dication that they are giv- ing the American beer dunce. what he wants. Edmund Schorr, brew- master of the SchliU brew- ery in Tampa. Fla., sug- gests that Prohibition is to blame for Americans' pen- chant for sweeter beer. During Prohibition we became a natior, of toda pop dnnkexs, even though there was beer available through illegal channels. he said. ‘After Prohibi- tion, wc started brewing a sweeter, lighter beer to ac- commodate soda pop tastes. Beer companies are hop- ing the same sweeter beer will also capture the younger beer drinker who has been used to soda pop and the so-called soda pop wines. One of the interesting effects of the big-compa- ny, big money advertising ia that smaller breweries arc dying. Where once there were 650 breweries in the United States (right after Prohibition), theie are now fewer than 70. Some were swallowed up by the bigger breweries, but most just couldn't cut it against the big-time competition. All beer starts with mailed barley, a gram which is allowed to sprout ( malt ). It is then cooked with water into a mash, to which cooked rice or corn (or any starchy vegetable with hor� bo'led and fil- tered again. This is called wort. After fermenting for a week to 11 days, sugars in the malt break down into alcohol and carbon dioxide and .t becomes ruh beer. A small amount of wort is generally added to the ruh beer, which then ages m holding tanks at neai- fieezing temperatures for about four weeks. A modem brewery s an awesome sight. w:th giant machinery to accomplish all this mashing, cooking, and storing. Fermenting tanks that stand 14 feet high fill one enormous room, forming a complex network cn the floor. Temperature in the fermenting room is cold, but it's even colder in the lagering room. When the beer Is fin- ished lagering, it IS pumped into kegs, bottles or cans, which come off the assembly line at tha rate of 1800 per minute. Filled cans are then herded through a pasteur- iser. At thi point, the beer is good aa it’s going to get. No amount of aging on the shelf will help, and in fact the beer will slowly dete- riorate. If kept refriger- ated. pasteurized beer will keep up to a year, but on the shelf it should be con- sumed within a few months. This inexorable process of getting stale works against imported beers, which necessarily must aland On the shelf longer than domestic. In the case of Pilsner Urquell. reputed to be the world's finest beer, the trip from Com- munist-controlled Czecho- slovakia further damages the product. This helps explain the bewilderment of Ameri- cans who taste beer :n Eu- rope. go wild over it, buy a boitled version of what they had from th tap over there, and wonder what happened to that incredib- ly delicious beer between there and here. Pilsner Urquell is the first maker of Pilsner beer (the brewery opened in the 13th Century), the golden-hued beveiage beer most of us simple call 'beer. The history of beer goes back even further than the Urquell brewery in Puen. Egyptian hieroglyphics dating back 5000 years de- tail a process for brewing beer By nature, brewers arc not competitive. They arc almost an artistic fraterni- ty unto themselves. We (the brewers) we if we can't give the world a belter glass of beer, said Schorr. We leave the com- petitiveness to the sales- men. «6 W 94 yes he free ?re� kvue5 I or s iV- )ies ? The Fault, Dear Brutus, Lies Not With The Registrar’s Office But With Tardy Teachers While USNJ students are penalized with lower ranks, incomplete and failing grades for turning work in late, the faculty are allow- ed to turn their grades in late without drawing so much as a re- buke. As it stands now, faculty are required to tum their grades in seventy-two hours after a final or seventy-two hours alter their last class. The majority of faculty manage to hand their grades in on schedule. “However there arc a minority who consistently tum their grades in late,” says Registrar Bob Grant. These habitual offenders (listed by department) arc; William Slavick of English, Anne Ladley, Walter and Thelma Bailey of Soc- ial Welfare, Oliver Woshin ky and Janies Roberta of Political Sci- ence, Larry Rakovan, Jeana Dale Bearce, Gail Miner and Rosalie Barden of Art, Carl Trvnori of Criminal Justice, Albert Durlos and William Whiting of Theater Communiratinns, Patricia Reef of Education, Jane Sanborn, John Ferri ter, Noel Paradise and Patricia Reynolds of Psychology, Ron Mazer of C.E.D., William Jordan of History. Vito Puopolo of Music, William Mackensen of Philosophy, Madeline Guigucre of Sociology, Charles Armentrout of Physics, Marjorie Duval, Library Science and the SCOG1S and Physical Edu- cation Departments. By not passing their grades in until January 4 and after, they effectively prevented students from receiving their grade reports until after the semester started. This shirking of their responsibilities led to some unfortunate consequences for USM students. Those who had expected to gra- duate. last semester, still don’t know whether they have in effect graduated. Other students who failed a course were unable to find this out until after they’d registered for courses. According to the registrar’s office, a student who has already registered for courses this semester could be placed on probation for failing -to maintain at least 1.0 average ror the last semester. There is really no excuse for turning in late gradp reports. If it continues, guilty faculty should be reprimanded perhaps with a docking of a portion of their pay since they are not fully earn- ing it- A faculty member’s primary obligation Ls to serve studenu, not to serve on outaide activities that present him from fully discharg- ing his duties. The turning in of grades on time is necessary if the registrar’s office is to continue to do an effecient job. Since the vast ma- jority of faculty arc able to pass their grades in, on schedule, the aforementioned offenders should do the same or be prepared to suffer the consequences. Culture is Not Found in a Beer Bottle To tin editor After a few months of closely observing thoughts, trends, ideas, and actions on this campus of ours, I’m completely baffled as to what typical students at UMPG would like to do with their spare time. Everywhere I go. I hear people saying “We’re sick and tired of the same old keg parties and dancea that go on weekend after weekend.’ 1 don't belong to any temperance league, but 1 hare to agree that the bottle seems to be the center of attraction at most of the happenings on campus. So what can we do about it? Plenty!! The student activities board, «vas created to use the students money, through the acUrity fees, to promote and generate different types of programming on campus. That sounds great when you read it. but what does it mean. The different committees such as cof- fee house, films, cultural concert-lec- ture. special events etc. (there could be a committee for every interest group) were staffed at the beginning of last semester with just barely en- ough people to make them work. Sure their programs were good, but no one can devote every weekend watching the coffeehouse, running a projector, or cleaning up the student center. The whole point of this is that there are now positions open, because of several resignations, on special events, coffee house, travel, and cultural conceit-lecture committees. We need interested people to help out on these committees because you can be sure I’m not about to fill these po- if there Is no interest shown in any of these committees, the interest just Isn't there. If that's the case, you had better buy yourself a few more bottles 'cause it’s gonna be a long cold winter. Dents Perron SAB Chairman J- 'll bvtwlc. Vo ‘Bia.F LETTERS � 5 The Pursuit of Mediocrity is No Virtue To the «ditor: Even if he were a little medi- ocre. there are a lot of mediocre judge and people and lawyer and they arc entitled to a little repre- sentation aren’t they?” When Senator Roman L. Hrouska of Nebraska uttered this quote in defense of Supreme Court nominee G. Harold Carswell In 1970, who- ever thought that the UMPG Hon- ors Committee would take his quote literally. But by their recent selection of students for Who’s Who. they have demonstrated that mediocrity is the only ingredient needed for success at this university, particularly if the student happens to be among that select elite known as the resident student. Ever sine the merger, Portland has been a separate but unequal partner of Gorham, so much so that ,il'$ a wonder that they don't just call this place the University of Maine at Gorham. The headline of your recent editorial ‘Gorham 26 - Portiant 6 aptly describe this undisguised con- tempt for the poor commuting stu- dents. The ridiculousness of this list showed itself when Art Piteau wasn’t even included on this list. After all he has done for the university and the community, he should have had a place guaranteed. If he didn't qualify, then none of the other peo- ple should have. How can you take this list seriously when the two top media on campus, the newspaper ana the radio station were completely ignored. Meanwhile the editors of the Social Science Journal and the Yearbook, two publications that only a few hardy- souls express an interest, are chosen. Some of the selections are understandable but the rest of these people might a well go to Nassoc for all the «rfect they have on this university. Everyone seems to be talking about how this university is expand- ing. This is a laudable thought but the exceptional student makes up a well rounded university. If the prac- tice of recognizing mediocrity continues at this university, then this university will only attract the average student. However. If the academic com- munity really wants this university to grow, then it should ignore the “Joe Fraternities and “Suzie Sororities up at Gorham and reward the truly exceptional students irregardlesa of campus.

A preface, it might be mentioned that candidates were chosen from among the UMPG population -— not UMP and Preliminary notices were sent to all academic and service departments, social and service clubs and organizations inviting them to nominate student for consideration by the UMPG Honors Committee. National criteria, as stated by Who’s Who. limits this honor to junior, sen- ior and graduate students. Each university is limited to 19tof its student population for nominntron which dictated 36 for UMPG. It is requested that each uni- versity establish individual crite- ria in academic achievement, ci- vic-community involvement, extra- curricular activities, honors and awards. Nominated candidates are then considered on a na- tional basis with the Who’s Who association determining final se- lections. This year’s UMPG commit- tee, comprised of representative administrative, faculty -and stu- dent members, established ob- jective standards for both can- didate consideration and evalua- tion process. It was agreed upon that only those students with cumulative averages of 2.50 and above would be elgiblc. Each candidate’s resume was seperately evaluated on a 1-3 scale in the 5 categories. After computation of each nominee's score, an average mean of 7.-19 was determined. The committee then offered to the national Who’s Who Among Students those students with an objective rating of 7.49 and above. It must be stated that objectivity was UMPG Commit- tee’s primary concern, as well as the establishment of high university criteria to merit na- tional honor. There are, at UMPG, students strongly deser- ving of national recognition ana most certainly recognition from UMPG. Who's who A- mong Students In American Colleges ar.d Universities is on- ly one vehicle of such recog- nition. It might be added that usual journalistic practice is to gather a few facta prior to ridiculing a particular situation. Since none of the hon- ors committee members were contacted by the Free Press” to darify the selection pro- cedure, and since the Uni- versity Free Press” submitted no names in nomination, it is difficult to understand the disgrunted admonition of Mr. Karatsanos in his recent Free Press” editorial. Mr. Karatsanos questioned the validity of some of the 31 students selected,” and mentioned the hope that next year's selection would be more representative of the student population. If all departments, organizations, etc. cooperate and give forth the small ef- fort to name students, next year’s selection just may be representative. Do pass the word, Mr. Karatsanos Sincerely. ’73-T4 UMPG Honors Committee (Editor not : The Free Press never received any notice of student nomi- nations to Who’s Who. This demon- strates a certain lack of attention to details. The Free Press doej not publish stories that it has not re- searched. We deal in facts.) 8 or “who will rule the roost? ' Larry the Lion vs. Clem Hawk 96 by Clem Hawk Even Hawk need warmth. And there' r.o better tource of warmth for male hawk than a bunch of chick . The larg- est concentration of chicks un- der one roof at USM is loca- ted at the Upton-Hastings aviary in Gorham That's where this bird flic too whenever he is in need of warmth, tender lovin’ care, and maybe even a midnight snatch Before the merger the chick hawk ratio was 3-1. At that time, whenever a hawk walked into the Upton-Hasting aviary, he had to watch out not to get hi feathers plucked. Since the hawk chick ratio ha been equa- lled. chick now scurry back into their individual case any- time a hawk enters the aviary rhe chick in the Upton- Hasting aviary are usually well- guarded, especially on weekend The administration hire a guard known a the aviary director to watch over the young chicks. This is so the chick don't hatch any youngun’s before they have been properly courted. A couple of vears ago the administration hired a hound dog of the ' ole Yoiler image called Leroy to protect the chick . Last year they hired an impotent St. Bernard to watch the roost This year the administration par- ted with canine tradition and hired themselves a full-fledged lion called Larry. l-arry Lion is an impres- sive figure. He lie down on the first floor in a sphinx like position guarding hit U-shaped pyramid of chicks. He dili- gently watches out for male intruder , that i except when he’s snoozin'. Larry Lion think he’ coolest when cs- corting an intruder out the door. Sometime he gets so excited by an intruder that he trap him before the in- truder even break in. Round One (9:00 P.M.) Just the other day. I was examining the lock of a side entrance. (I have developed a professional yet casual in latest in :ocking devices over the years.) Suddenly, from behind I heard a roar, Haawwkk! ' It sounded fa- miliar. Nonchalantly. I smooth- ed ny rudely ruffled feathers and turned to walk away. Rut my attemp to be nonchalant had wasted time. The burly-bodied Lion racing thaggtlly towards me had ar rrved He crabbed my rudely by the scruff of my neck ami stared me in the beak with his hairy eyeballs I glared back at him. lit thinning yellowish mane was combed over his rapidly receding fore- head in an uncomely fashion.

I almost choked on that statement even after he had released hi grasp of my neck. Round Two (10 00 P.M.) The “direct approach” is the quickeat method to enter an aviary. It also may re- sult in a quick exit. Tor ex- ample, that same night, I walked by the receptionist desk not escorted by a chick - a de- finite no-no. Some birds claim you'd have have to be a cuc- koo to use this method Bui belcive me any turdbrain can do it. To butid up courage (and to numb one' tenses) I stayed outside in the cold just long enough to collect frost on my feet and an icicle on my hesk It wa guaranteed to smooth out ray entry The frost on my claws began to melt when it made contact with the warm aviary air. Thi was supposed to enable me to slide by the re- ceptionist without a sound But an ever alert lion cub was at the desk. He said. Can I help you” as I slid by. He repeated the question in an in- creasing tone as I slid further sway from him on the frosty wetness beneath my claw . Where are you going , he shouted. I pointed to the colorful response trapped within my tcxle-encased beak and kept sliding. The remaining frost on my claws cracked off when 1 slid into the bottom stair- case which led up to the bird- cages where the chicks were. I started climbing the stairs.

I mean carousing expedition into the avary to visit ray fine-feathered female friends Round Three (11:00 pro.) It's no fun having Lion es- cort ra out of the aviary by myself all the time. My next caper that night would be a tandcra effort. Eddie Eagle and I went buck to check on the container of fermented hops. Apparently Lion had been by, and had smashed the glass container and thereby had al- most smashed our chance of gaining entrance into the aviary. While Eddie looped up the hops with hi beak. I devised s scheme. We would try the •penny tossing” tnck. We simply got under a lighted window and began tos- sing pennies up to get the at- tentior. of the chicks in the room Hopefully, they would some down and open a side entrance. When you can get their attention with one penny, it usually means you can get a whole nights worth of action for leu than fifty cents. But no luck that night. We tried pennies, nickels, dime and quar- ter . Nothing worked. Some chicks demand more money. Some need a sign of tned turning the knob. It was locked. Hang on.” I said, “I know- all about picking locks.” I didn’t have a paper clip so 1 used my beak to peck St open 1 guess I pecked too hard because my beak go: stuck in the lock ‘What the matter? said Eddie Eagle. 1 got my pecker stuck.” I muttered. “Ha. ha. ha.” he laughed. What do you mean got your pecker stuck? You haven t even gotten into the room yet It was emtwassing but with Eddie's help I got it unstuck. Then I took a gander down the hall. Lo! and Behold! There was Larry Lion just itch- ing to pluck my feathers. I quickly flow down the hallway, soared up a flight of stairs, fluttered into a rest room, and glided into an open cubicle I slammed the door shut and made like a stool pigeon paying tribute to the sewerage treat- ment plant. Larry Lion roared up and down the hallway in search of Eagle and Hawk, but in vain. Eagle had flown the coop and I was sitting out the next round. Round Pour (12:00 p.m.) An hour later when I was His deafening shouts caused me to nave a sudden relapse of dcafitis. Oaf it is manifests it- self by a sudden numbnes of the ears, an increased pace of the pulse, and an accelerated locomotion of the ambulatory limbs. The stairs flew beneath my feet as if I was running up an escalator. Second floor, third floor, fourth fioo. oops’ Larry Lion, with back turned, was chatting with a couple of chicks., My clawt gripped the railing for support. They turned sweaty. The sweat act- ed as a lubricant and my fntfit- frozen body eased down the railing to the third floor. I regained my sense and ran down the stairs and out a side wring door. Before letting the door (which would automa- tically lock) slam, 1 pulled a container of fermented hops from undrr my right wing and gently placed it in the door opening so as to give the door's expected returns on their time about to be invested. We be- gan to throw pebbles at the window Little one at first, then bigger ones. The chick must have thought it was a mgn of bigger and better rocks to come. The side door swung open. We were in. As soon os the chick had opened the door, thoy ran away up the second floor. V walked down uie secono floor hallway. A strange aroma filled the air. Eddie Eagle aatd, “I kir.da like the smell of this joint. Smells like they're cook- mg up some Mexican bird seed.” I disagreed. Smell more like Jamaican to me Eddie Eagle knocked on the door where the aroma came from. Gotta get some of that stuff. he said I said. Ya better watch out. I know some Chick who would coo on you for partak- ing in certain activities.” No- body answered the door, so he about to leave. Lion walked in. He said, “Hey. buddy, are you all nghl? I hummod. “Hey buddy, do you think ya gonna make it?” he said. I muttered unintelligiblcy “Parietal are almost over, he lied. 11 was three hours before parietis end- ed, but having no «cort, I wasn't about to pursue the point. Lion left. I knew he’d be back soon. I flew into the next cubicle. He came back two minutes later. “Hey, buddy, what are ya doing, playing musical stools?” 1 mumbled stupidly “I know rou’re the same bird, because ve been waiting outside the door. Ya can't stay here all night. I'm waiting for ya out- side the door.” I had to act fast I could hear Lion filing his claws outside the restroom. 1 opened the window and flew out just as Lion came roaring in.

In order to rally his followers, the President has to sound confident and upbeat, as he did in the message actually delivered to the Congress and seen on television. But the facts, as laid out :n the full written text of the message, do not justify ringing claims. The effect i to deepen public mistrust of Mr. Nixon, which goes to the heart of his basic problem and thus promotes even more the chance that he will be forced out cf office one way of another. Consider first the major claim slaked by the President. That it the claim that the economy will be in good shape thia year. “Let me speak to that issue head- on, ’ he said boldly. “There will be no re- cession in the United States. But in his written remarks, and even more in the economic message. Mr Nixon was far more cautious. His written State cf the Union message said: We have known for some time that a slowdown of economic growth is inevita- ble in 1974 ... unfortunately the very mild slowdown which we anticipated In 1974 now threatens to be more pro- nounced ... we expect, therefore, that during the early part of this year output will rise little if at all, unemployment will rise somewhat and inflation will be high. Consider next the cheery note sounded by Mr. Nixon with respect to the energy crisis. In his spoken address, the big em- phasis was on “a goal to which I am deeply dedicated. Let us do everything we can to avoid gasoline rationing. On top of that, he announced that “I have been assured, through my personal con- tacts with friendly leaders in the Middle East area, that an urgent meeting will be called in the immediate future to discuss the lifting of the oil embargo. But the fine print of the written mes- sage struck a different note. There was no stuff about avoiding rationing, nor about “my porsonai contacts with friendly lead- ers' in the Near East On the contrary, the fine print said: We still face genuine shortages ... and sharply increased prices. What this says to me is that Mr. Nixon Is once more trying to con the American public. On television he makes marvelous music and paints beautiful pictures. He seems to promise no rationing and no re- cession. In fact, he knows full well that the promises are dubious. Even his own ad- visers, a supine lot. do not .go along with his rhetoric Nor do they have any pro- grams for averting the trouble that looms ahead. Accordingly, it seems to me that the state of the union has a negative relation to Mr. Nixon's impeachment problem. The impeachment proceeding is now roll- ing. The House, thanks to careful prepa- ration by Chairman Peter Rodino of the Judiciary Committee and chief counsel John Doar. is not going to be stampeded. It is going to move in a del.be i ate and careful way. The voting of subpoena power assures that it will get what infor- mation is required. Thus the process can- not be stopped m its tracks by a mere presidential speech—or indeed any exter- nal event. In the present case, however, my sense is that the President deepens his troubles. He has once more shown cynical disre- gard for keeping faith with the American people. He is once more misrepresenting. So the speech cannot put an end. as the President hopes, to what he is pleased to disparage as a year of Watergate On the contrary, it shows that Mr. Nixon cannot level with the American people now anymore than in the past It thus un- derlines the importance and urgency of unraveling to the end the complex of fraudj and abuses and lies for which Wa- tergate is merely a shorthand term.

Goshko Washington Post BONN—The Soviet Union yes- terday capped its official campaign against Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn by stripping him of his citizenship and expelling him from the coun- try. He was flown to West Ger- many from Moscow. The 55-year-old Nobel Prize- winning novelist, arrested at his wife's Moscow apartment Tuesday, arrived in Frankfurt aboard a Sovi- et airliner late yesterday afternoon. He was driven to the village of Langenbroich. west of Born, to the weekend retreat of his friend and fellow Nobel Laureate, author Hein- rich Boel). There the two men paused be- fore the door of Boell’s farm house and shook hands. Boell presented Solzhenitsyn with flowers, and the pair disappeared into the house, where, as Boell had aaid earlier, tea, bread and bed were waiting.” Solzhenitsyn told reporters he had been in Moscow's notorious Lefortovo prison between his arrest and deportation. The prison, oper- ated by the KGB (secret police), figures in the author's controversial The Gulag Archipelago.” Speaking in German, he said: •'You must understand that I am very tired and concerned about my family. 1 must telephone to Moscow. 1 was in prison just this morning.” He added in Russian: I thank you very much for your attention. I’m sorry that you have been wait- ing here fer so long. But I know you will understand my position. 1 can- not talk now. I can give no interviews to indi- vidual correspondents, neither new nor in the next days. 1 have given many when 1 was in my own coun- try. A spokesman said Chancellor Willy Brandt's government did not know whether Solzhenitsyn wished to remain in West Germany. A deci- sion on political asylum could net be taken before the writer had made such a request, he said. (Solzhenitsyn’s Swiss lawyer, Dr. Fritz Hceb, said :n Zurich that the author would most likely settle in Scandinavia. (Hceb, quoted by the Swiss do- meitie news agency, Agcnce Tde- graphique Swisse. said he did no , think Solzhenitsyn would live per- manently in West Germany or France, as had been suggested.) Shortly after his arrival in Ger- many, the Soviet news agency Tass reported that the Supreme Soviet had taken away Solzhenitsyn's citi- zenship because of systematic ac- tions” not in accord with Soviet citi- zenship. Tass added that Solzhenit- syn's wife, Natalya, and his two children would be allowed to follow him into exile if they wished. ‘Who’d ever believe these lies? 103 104 er’s Toughest Assignment New Mission To Moscow By James Reston WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Kissinger is going back to Moscow again fairly soon to ask and answer some awk- ward questions about the state of U-S.- Soviet relations. The reason for his visit is fairly obvious He ha to find out if hi affair with Mo , cow is real or fake. Both sides have been support- ing the notion of Detente or peaceful coexis- tence. but in- creasing their mil- i t a r y budgets while talking about reducing them. They glorify trade while differ- ing about the terms of trade, proclaim their desire for peace in the Middle East, while shipping arms to their beliig- eicnt clients. THEKE IS SOMETHING false at the bottom of this Washtngion-Moscow “de- tente and both sides know it. On the surface, things are much better. Kissi- nger and Ambassador Dobrynin talk much more and much more frankly than in the old cold war day . The two sides meet in Cencva to discuss the control of strategic arms. But meanwhile, President Nixon is asking for tbe largest peacetime military budget in tbe history of the republic, the Soviet Union is building up its forces in Europe and urging the Arabs to maintain their oil embargo against the United States, and President Pompidou of France is in the Soviet Union demonstra- ting hu “ independence of the United States, and weakening the western al- liance. So there are obviously some awkward questions to be asked on both sides be- fore Nixon makes his next appeal ante on satellite television from the Kremlin. For example: — IF THE SOVIET UNION i really serious about reaching a mutual reduc- tion of military forces in Europe, why does it now have 10 lank and W motor rifle divisions with 45000 tanks west of the Urals, an increase of 9,000 in the last three years? — Why some 31 or 32 Soviet divisions in Central and Eastern Europe, with 30,000 to 50.003 men in place in these areas, and more than 4,003 new armored person cel carrier since 1969? — Why. if Moscow is really serious about the principles of the last Nixon- Brezhnev Kremlin doctrine foe a new world order, should there be such a fran- tic build-up ol Soviet naval and missile power? The Soviets also have some unans- wered questions: — Why a record U.S. peacetime mili- tary budget when the Nixon Adminis- trat Kin is boasting about its new accom- modation with Moscow and meanwhile struggling with inflation and a recession at home? — Why all this talk out of Washington about expanding world trade, while den- ying to the Soviet Union equal trade terms with other most favored na- tions? — Why does Washington delend the principle of ,‘nocKr.tcrfereiKe,‘ in the in- ternal aifairs of other nations, and still Interfere in the Sonet Union's policy et decxLcg who should be allowed to emi- grate from the U.S.S.R ? Soviets BUT THE ACCOMMODATIONS with China and the Soviet Union — to say nothing about our troubles in Europe and Japan — are beginning to look a little dubious on Capitol mil. Members are asking whether those Nixon broadcasts from Peking and Moscow were for real, or whether, like so many other Nixon triumphs, they were merely tactical and may be even bogus. Kissinger will be exploring all this on his forthcoming trip, looking foe genuino agreements or. the arms talks, and tbe Middle East talks, and the balance of power in Europe and on the oceans, and if he can get them, the Congress may cooperate on trade. But this time, the Congress will be looking for policy and not propaganda — certainly not for a splashy diversion from the impeachment proceedings in the House — and this could be the most difficult assignment of IT WILL NOT BE easy for Kissinger to ask or answer these questions fee there is obviously a difference bclwcea the words and the actions, the propa- ganda and the policies on both sides Tbe mam argument for voting against the impeachment of NIxor. on Capitol Hill, regardless of the evidence against him, is that he has been a successful, ever a brilliant leader in the field of for- eign affairs, especially in reaching ac- commodations with the Soviet Union end China. start new tests today Kissinger s career Frankly, it's the LITTLE Commie I can t stand’.

We’ve got to be alert all the time, because things could break out any moment.” —Col. E W. Leech tty Crocker Snow Jr. Globe Asian Bureau PANMUNJOM. Korea — Here Is ;he only farm vtllag? m South Korea where the male residents aren’t drafted and the peo- ple pay no taxes. It is the home of wild duck, deer, pheasant and the last big stronghold of Korean white cranes in the country. It's the duty station for a platoon of hefty Ameri- can soldiers, all 6 feet or more, who wear not hel- mets from the Ohio state police, study karate as part of their military training, and worry more about their boots being spit on by North Korean soldiers than about spit and polish. This bizzarre combina- tion of characteristics ap- plies to a few hills and rice paddies :n central Korea where the armistice ending tho Korean War was signed on July 27, 1953, after more than two years of negotiations. With a couple of guard posts, the historic Bndge of No Return and several modest meeting buildings, Panmunjom today is the only official point of con- tact between the antago- nistic governments of North and South Korea. It is also a place where the different elements of the uneasy peace between the two can be seen in mi- crocosm. Tensions are high and petty forms of harassment go on continually between the North Korean security guards and the joint con- tingent of US and South Korean soldiers represent- ing the UN command Because no actual shoot- ing has occurred in the im- mediate area in more than two years, it has for the Americans stationed there been classified as a r.on- hostilc zone. This means iCO less a month in their pay checks- But to the commander of the US unit, the situation is anything but peaceful. If there’s any hostile little spot on earth, this has to be it. says Col. E.W. Leech. ’’We’ve got to be alert all the time, be- cause things could break out any moment. The guided tour of tho security zone which Col. Leech provides visitors supports his point. The 35 North Korean guaids allowed in the joint security area at any one time bustle about seeming- ly spoiling for trouble. They goggle aMrisitors and spit and shov at the Americans and South Ko- rean guards in attendance. An officer ncknamed “Cap- tain Camera is always at the ready for propaganda pictures of American im- perialists” with their South Korean lackbys The North Koreans are all handpicked members of the Communist Party, and all wear the telltale badge of their leader, Kim II Sung, on their uniforms. The Americans are all volunteers, of a minimum height of six feet, and trained ir. tai kwon do,’ the Korean art of self-de- fense. This is because there have been aevcral out- breaks of brawling and veritable .hand-to-hand eo bat between the small ae rrity forces in the past. On one occasion in 1969, a group of North Xorean workers staged a demon- stration inside the security rone and beat up several of the US guards. In the battling, one American was hit over the head with a timber with nails He is still hospitalized. On a less serious level, the guard duty in the little Joint Security Area in- volves a ceaseless contest of nerves, harassment and petty one-upmanship. In the early days of the Military Armistice Com- mission meetings for in- stance. the North Koreans released homing pigeons trained to land on the roofs of the Communist compounds as “doves of peace.” This gambit was foiled when the South Ko- reans built a pagoda with a traditional, multi-colored roof which disoriented the pigeons terribly. American guards have been reprimanded for bringing girlie magazines line ’Playboy’ to their guard posts and teasing their puritanical Commu- nist counterparts by wav- ing the contents around. No peace treaty was ever signed at Panmun- jom, only an armistice agreement to suspend open hostilities.” Thus the dividing line is not consid- ered a border, but merely a military demarcation line. Tlic table in the Pan- munjom building where periodic meetings take place sits exactly centered astride this lire. This table, surrounded by glass windows for observers to look in, has been the site of many serious negotia- tions such as the North Korean charges against the American spy ship Pueblo and the later agreement for the release of Com- mander Lloyd Bucher and his crew. It has also been the place for some remarkably petty negotiations about the size of paper clips to be used on exchanged doc- uments and the size of flags permitted on the meeting table. This latter issue was resolved after several sessions, only to have the North Koreans then appear with a table flag with an extra base stand, thus making it about an inch taller than all tne others. “They want to do every- thing one more, one big- ger, one better, says CoL Leech. It's truly childish stuff, and we don't pay any attention any more. The 139 Americans sta- tioned at the advance camp near Panmunjom promote the slogan In front of them all. The troop are just this, as the advance force for the 42.- 000 Americans stationed all over South Korea and as peacekeeping represent- atives for tho 33.000 Americans who were killed during the war. Morale is high, so they say. because of the tension of the duty and the reali- zation that an incident poorly handled could easi- ly blow up into interna- tional proportions. Tlic men's off-duty time in the isolated area is co- nvened by a swimming poo! and a three-hole gclf course they have hu.lt themselves, the ubiquitous round of military movies, daily Japanese tour grout� from Seoul and the occa- sional visiting VIP like BiUv Graham.

The village docs not fea- ture bars ar.d massace parlors or the other com- mon accoutrements of American servicemen overseas.

Its population of about 200 is allowed to farm the neigh- boring fields, and as corn- farm village which report- edly has no fulltime in- habitants. but docs boast a flag tower a few meters tal’er than that in Taeson- dong. There is also a single building which was erected by 400 North Ko- rean workers in 72 hours back in 1953 as a site for the actual armistice-sign- ing ceiemonv Today it is a propaganda museum where items like the signed confession of Buch- er and the Pueblo crew are displayed for visiting dig- nitaries from China and Russia. The strange and artifi- cial salient of Panmunjom is located in a broad valley which Ghengis Khan and the Mongols followed hi the r conquest of Korea in med.eval times. Its importance today Is far more symbolic than strategic. For all the spe- cial tensions and frictions of the truce zone, it pro- vides the single hot line between the two halves of a divided and hostile land who fought a war that cost more than 4 million dead, wounded and missing two decades ago.

Spending Differences Campaign Costs For The British By Yorick Blumenfeld LONDON — “You may think 1.075 pounds ($2,400) is little. said the Labor Party spokesman at patty headquarters, “but many of our candidates are finding it hard to raise that kind of money. 1!« remark threw Into «harp relief the differences between campaign «pending in British parliamentary elections nod m American congressional races. One of the final act of the recently dissolved Parliament was to raise the modest limit on expenditures from $1,700 to $2,400 for each candidate. Fur- thermore. under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 0969), each candi- date receives an allowance of 6 I pence per 6 voters if he Is standing in a country scat and of 6 pence per 8 voters if he is standing in an urban constituency. As the average constituency in England contains around «.(CO voters, this means the candidate may spend an extra $525 or to m his campaign. THE LAWS GOVERNING campaign spending are explicit and rigorous. Should a candidate spend more than the law allows, his campaign runs the risk of being invalidated. In addition. be would face heavy fines plus court costs. The result I that few break the law. No one at Labor Party headquarters can re- call the last time a .Member of Parlia- ment was deprived of hts scat for spend- ing abuses. The Labor Party recommends that its candidates apportion their campaign money « follows $M8 for a political consultant, $1.«0 for printing, $1� for advertising. $200 for stationery, $1W for «tamps and telephones, $100 for rental of meeting halls, $85 for committee meet- ings, and $150 for such miscellaneous items as messenger service. POLITICAL PARTY organizations may spend as much as the? like on na- tional promotion. Here again, though, the actual outlays arc modest by Ameri- can standards. The Labor Party is re- ported to have paid $60,000 for privato polls taken over the past l$ months. The better heeled Conservative Party spent roughly $225,000 cn such surveys during the short campaign. The Conservatives were outsper.ding the opposition on television also.

Bull, the Presi- dent’s appointments secretary, the ma- chine was «tripped of its capacity to er- ase. On November 14. the 1814-minute erasure was public!? reported. On No- vember 20, Secret Service technicians restored the erase capability. The ma- chine subsequently was turned over to the court experts. MANIFESTLY. THERE HAS been a good deal of tinkering with the machine. The tape itself, put in the President’ sole personal custody last July, has been through a veritable odyssey. If the erasure were the key clemcn: of an or- dinary criminal trial, the evidence for the prosecution could be subjected to rough cross-examination by the defense. But this is not an ordinary criminal trial. The lEH-minute blank is merely ©re incident in a chain of incidents. In despair, one keeps going back to the point of beginning, to the morning of Monday, June 19. 1972. wlien the dimen- sions of the Watergate arrests began to take shape If only the President Imd ac- ted then!

Americans may well envy Britain’s frugal and well-regulated system of cam- paign f.randng. But some commentators here think that the West German and Swedish systems arc better. The gvass- isalways grecrer principle applies as forcefully to politics as to other activi- ties. THIS SIGH IS COMPANY POLICY A Conservative View An Alternative To The Major Tape Mystery By James J. Kilpatrick WASHINGTON — On the morning of January IS, the six experts trooped into Judge John Sirica's court and delivered themselves of their damning, unanimous verdict: The presidential tape of June 20. 1972. one cf the most critical of all the tapes, could cot have been erased accidentally; the tape, they said, was erased by hard Since the nightmare of Watergate be gan some 19 months carticr, I had been doing my best to defend the President, to give the poor devil the benefit of ev- ery doubt, and to suggest explanations for the inexplicable. But the experts’ tes- timony was the last straw, or In another novel phrase, the end of the rope With this evidence, I took my accumulated leave and left the ship. 1 AM STILL on leave. But because of the importance attached in January to the experts’ testimony, it is only fair to call attention to a startling article m Sci- ence magazine in which another expert. Allan D. Bell, advances an alternative. It is possible, in bis view, that the fa- mous 18Vi-minute erasure was caused by a mechanical defect in the recording machine used by the President's ecre- tary, Rose Mary’Woods. Bell Is president cf Dcktor Counter- intelligence and Security. Inc, It Is a fair assumption that his credentials are as impressive as those of the court-appoint- ed experts whose testimony seemed so unshakable He has raised what is known at law as a reasonable doubt Without going into the technical de- tails. it may suffice to say that Bell ar.d his associates at Dcktor were attracted by news report that the court-appointed experts had found a defective diode bridge ia Miss Woods' machine. In order to make their tests, they replaced the bridge arxJ tightened a few screws sr.d connections. When they had finished their repair work, the machine no longer produced the famous burz. BELL AND HIS colleagues, after con- ducting some experiments of their own, developed a theory- that the trouble might have stemmed from the machine s rectifier. Such a malfunction, they sub- mit, could have explained the off-and-on behavior of the erase mechanism. In the fashion of export the world over, they do not say positively that they are right and the court-appointed experts are wrong. They say only that their theory provides an apparently equally feasible alternative A great many questions remain to he asked. It will be recalled that the Over S000 recorder was purchased about mid- day on October l of last year. Miss Woods put it to work immediately. An hour cr so later, she discovered her ter- rible mistake On November 12. at the fnmts 109 On Accountability By Anthony Lewis BOSTON. March 3—Imagine a large corporation with a powerful president, one who makes it company policy to keep ultimate control of operations in his own hands. Over a year. 16 of this president's close associates are charged with serious crimes. His personal lawyer, the company’s former counsel and two members of the president’s staff plead guilty. So dots the vice president. Two other «tiff members are tried and con- victed. Nine more are indicted, among them his top personal assistants and the heads of two major subsidiaries. At a stockholders’ meeting the presi- dent says he knew nothing of these affairs. He deplores them, he says, but his duty is to get on with the company’s business: legal questions are for the courts. When a group of stockholders asks to see the records of his own corporate dealings, he says no; That might prejudice the trial of his associates: and besides, such dis- closure is against company policy. That simple analogy may help to clarify the great principle at stake in the effoit to make President Ninon face the legal and political conse- quences of Watergate. That is the principle of accountability. When theie t evidence that a cor- poration has been in the hands of a criminal gang, we sec easily enough dial its president cannot escape per- xjnal responsibility. We understand tlukt he must make an accounting to the shareholders. li democracy more important in a corporation than in a country? Does a company president have a greater duly to account to his source of au- thority. hi? citizens, than doc the President of the United States? The propositions are absurd, and espe- cially so in a country whose whole system of government was designed io assure accountability In the first Congress to sit under our Constitution one of its princ.pal framers, James Madison, argued suc- cessfully that a President should be able to dismiss subordinate govern- ment officials. That power. Madiuin said, would make him responsible for their conduct, and suhject him to impeachment himself, if he suffers them to perpctrjie with impunityhigh crimes or misdemeanors against the United States, or neglect to superin- lend the r conduct so as to check their TOCtlNS ” The notion that a Presides need liol answer to anyone for massive wrong n his Administration—not to Congress, not :o the cour.s. not to the i-'opte—is utterly alien to the Amcr an system. Yet :hat is the pre- cise end to which the Catch 22 strategy ABROAD AT HOME of Pres dent Nixon and bis lawyers is designed to lead Mr. Nixon says first that he it be- yond the jurisdiction of any court: He cannot be indicted while in office, he cannot be questioned by a grand jury and he cannot even be made to pro- v.de evidence. All las; summer he strenuously resisted a subpoena for tapes and documents, even trying to evade a court order and finally com- plying only under the compulsion of public outrage. Now again he is re- fusing to supply evidence to the special Prosecutor. The next step in the strategy Is the argument that a President can be impeached only for criminal offenses. Mr. Nixon's lawyer. James St. Clair, narrowed it some more last week, claiming that impeachment i limited to criminal offenses of a very seri- ous nature committed in one’s govern- mental capacity.” It is sad to see a lawyer who knows better make so shoddy an argument, one so devoid of support in history or logic. Under the stated St. Clair view the makers of our Constitution ordained that nothing could be done •bout a President who committed murder in broad daylight on the Capi- tol steps. But .Mr. St. Clair will raise obsta- cles to an Impeachment even on hit narrow grounds For one thing, he will probably try to keep the. House Judicary Committee from getting the evidence already collected by the Spe- cial Prosecutor. Leon Jawurski. For another, the suggestion is heard that the inquiry should do nothing that might affect the trials of those in- dicted. Translated, that means do nothing — for months and probabiy years. In short, the underlings charged with attemping to corrupt the institu- tions cf our Government are to be tried while we do nothing about the man in the name of whose power they allegedly acted. It Is an ingenious strategy, hut the contrivances show. American have too much common sense to let the man whom our sys- tem makes responsible escapfe an ac- counting that way. They will see that there is no greater constitutional In- terest. no greater national interest, than resolving the doubts about this President. What Richard Nixon and his law- yers really argue for is a four-year absolute monarchy — the power of kings before they were made subject to constitutions At our Constitutional Convention Gouvemeur Morris of Pennsylvania sa:d of the President: •This Magistrate is cot the King but the prime minister.

The top priority here, however, is not foreign af- fairs but ending the min- ers' strike and the three- day work week estab- lished to cope with it. Foot, ihc new employment chief, met yesterday with the key figures in the coal dispute, Joe Gormley. the president of the minors’ union, and Derek Kara, chairman of the National Coal Board. Gormley came out look- ing pleased with what he called “a friendly chat. We received indications that negotiations will be freer than they have been up to now. In less elliptical lan- guage, Gormley meant that Ezra’s coal board would no longer be bound by Heath's pay curbs and could — as it has wanted to do — offer the miners a pay increase large eng- ough to bring them back to work Union and coal boaid officials will meet today, ar.d Gormley said he hopes to have a settlement pack- age in hand by nightfall. On the international scene, the appointment of the 61-ycar-old Callaghan puts Britain's foreign af- fairs in the hands of a warm admirer of the Unit- ed States. As a former Chancellor of the Exche- quer under Wilson, and relying on American sup port to prop the pound, Callaghan once said: When I get up in the morning and look in the mirror to shave, I sing. God Bless America. The Labor Party is pledged to cut defense spending and, as part of a multilateral deal to curb arms, close down the American nuclear subma- rine base at Holy Loch in Scotland. But the new Defense Minister, Mason, is not viewed here as an anti- nuclear zealot. A former coal union official, he stands in the I-abor Par- ty's center. If he cuts Br.t- ain's arms budget, he is expected to do so for eco- nomic rather than ideolog- ical reasons. In Brussels. Common Market officials had feared that Labor’s prom- ise to renegotiate Britain’s entry into the group would be made good by Peter Shcre. a left-wing antimarkcteer. But Wilson has already moved to lake some of the sting from this pledge by giving the mod- erate Callaghan responsi- bility for Common Market affair . Shore is in the cab.net. as Minister for Trade. Thus he and Wcdgcwood- Bcnn arc sharing part of what was a single depart- ment under Heath Foot, the third promi- nent left-winger, is the bi- ographer and spiritual heir to Aneurin Bcvan, the radical thorn in the side of both Winston Churchill and the postwar Labor Party. But at the employ- ment ministry. Foot will have only a secondary role in economic decision-mak- ing. The Liberal Party, with its crucial 14 scats in the new parliament, promptly denounced the Foot- Sbore-Wedge wood - Bcnn trio as reflecting an old fashioned socialist govern- ment of the type which failed the country before Since Wilson's party :s 17 seats snort of a majori- ty of 318, that has an omi- nous ring. Labor will need the Libcra'is and other small groups to stay in power. With a hearty wave, Harold Wilson leaves bis London home for 10 Downing st. and his first full day of work as Britain's new prime minister.

Botwright Globe Sufi Angry leaders of New England's Ashing industry yesterday demand- ed that the United States take prompt diplomatic action to stop Canada from violating a conserva- tion agreement and to end a had- dock war that has been waged in the Atlantic by American and Canadian fishermen for nearly three months. If their demand is met, top- level showdown between the United States and Canada may take place within the next few days. State Dept, official William Sullivan told the fishermen. President Nixon could even possibly ban the im- port of Canadian fish product into this country, he said. Thomas A. Norris, spokesman for the fishermen, said Washing- ton must act by midnight Monday, or the Canadians will be allowed to go on catching unlimited quanti- ties of haddock, while American fishermen will be severely re- stricted” under terms of a 16-nation International Commission for North- west Atlantic Fisheries treaty. “And that would be grossly un- fair ar.d discriminatory to our in- dustry.” he said at a Boston meet- ing of commission advisers. Our market would be flooded by cheap Canadian haddock, and our fisher- men would not be able to have the resources to compete. Norris, chairman of the industry advisers and a vice president of the Old Colony Trawler Corp., said the haddock war — actually a bloodless fishing free-for-all —and the im- pending Monday deadline developed because Canada decided in January to seek exceptton to a conservation agreement reached at the commis- sion's annual meeting last June. The Commission nations ugreed to reduce their overall catches by 25 percent in the next three years to prevent overfishing of Georges Bank ar.d adjoining Browns Bank off the US-Canadian coast They de- creed also there should be a ban on catches of nearly extinct haddock, except for incidental catches limited to 5000 pounds, or 10 percent of a vessel’s total cargo, Norris said. Norris added that American fishermen, in an attempt to force the Canadians back into line,” also have been ignoring the haddock ban on Browns Bank and fishing full out” But if the Canadians agree to go back to the conservation rules, so will we.” Sullivan, deputy coordinator of ocean affairs for the State Dept, said the State and Commerce Dept , so far have made no decision on what action to take before the Monday deadline However, he emphasized, there are ali kinds of pressures we could bring to bear on the Canadians. In a related development, the United States is reviewing its tra- ditional opposition to a 200-mile offshore fishing limit and “might go along with one under certain conditions that would protect our national and world interests,” a State Dept official disclosed in Bos- ton yesterday. Sullivan said in an interview the United States might relax it opposition if the UN Law of the Sea Conference in Caracas, Vene- zuela, should rule this summer that a world-wide 200-mile limit bo adopted. Under the banner of an organi- zation colled Save the American Fisheries,” they announced “a sea march” on Washington to coincide with congressional hearings on the Studds-Magnuson bill. About 25 fishing industry and government leaders will sail for the Potomac on or about May 19 aboard the windjammer Roseway, a former Boston pilot boat, and a Eotiila of other vessels.

This letter — written last September and t ans- mitted then to these lead- er and released only now for public scrutiny — was not merely a theatrical gesture. It is composed for all that it is sublime in it impart, of Russian earth. It is the deed of an ob- sessed but wholesome pa- triot. And there are in it, of course, invocations of WILLIAM F. BIJCKIJEY JR. human idealism. But mostly, it is: cold turkey. Solzhenitsyn communi- cates how preoccupied So- viet leaders are with the possibility (probability ?) of war with China. Solz- henitsyn says it quite clearly, that Russia and China are on a non-nuclear collision course. Ho does not sec how such a war, lasting years or more, could result in fewer than 60 million Russian casu- alties—double the casual- ties of the bloody Russian century, two world wars plus Stalin. Ideological differences would trigger the war. “and what do you think will happen then? That, when war breaks out, both the belligerents will sim- ply fly the purity of their ideology on their flags? And that 60 million of our fellow countrymen will allow themselves to be killed because the sacred truth is written on page 533 of Lenin and not on page 335 as our adversary claims? Surely only the very very first of them will die for that.” After that, he says, Rus- sians will fight for Russia, even as they did in the Second World War, when Stalin prudently retired all talk of international socialism, until the people of Russia had rebuffed the invader, permitting Stalin to resume hi internal hol- ocaust. And when that happens the present lead- ership of Russia will be Mxvsscssed anyway, and Russia will not only be through as the principal natron of worldwide class warfare, but will also be so weakened by the experi- ence of the war that it will lose the ties to W’cstern culture that animate It. Solzhenitsyn goes on to spell out a great vision to Soviet leaders. The great opportunity for Kussia is to look — northeast There is Siberia, peopled now by a scant 128,(� 0 Siberia could receive she Russian hordes and there they might recapture «omcthing of the old life, mode more enticing by the knowledge of what it is that they had fled -from. There would be clean waters, and silent skies and—above all — an absence of lies, “lies, lies. l!es.” more oporessivc in modern Russia than any of the material privations that have resulted from Ideological fanaticism. Think afccut it, Solzhe- nitsyn says, as though he were in the village mar- ketplace. bargaining with a merchant for a table lamp. Permit people to say what they want, to prac- tice their religion, to read what they wont “Only allow us a free art and lit- erature and you will see what a rich, harvest it brings.” Five months later. Solz- henitsyn was plucked out o' Russia and dumped in Germany. But his great e � � • to the Russian leaders — an instant clas- r;- will survive them all: and may yet be criti- cal in insuring the surviv- al of the country he loves « deeply. WiUinm F.

Instead, the Furman decision ap- pears to have boomcrangcd and since then 21 states have adopted mandatory death penalties for vari- ous offenses which they feel will mm the court’s objections to the original laws. In Massachusetts the House and Senate have passed a bill, which Gov. Sargent is expected to veto, requiring it for nine types of murder. Tiic US Senate has added fuel to the fire by passing a bill, backed by President Nixon and the Justice Department, requiring the death penalty for various serious Federal offenses such as treason, hi- jacking. and kidnaping Long ago, Clarence Harrow wrote that questions like capital punishment are not settled by rea- son; they are settled by prejudices and sentiments or emotions. When they are settled they do not stay set- tled. for the emotions change as new stimuli are applied . . Thus, although there is no proof that the death penalty deters crime, the Furman decision and public con- cern about crime have provided the sort of stimulus Darrow was think- ing about. The movement constitutes far more than grandstanding by a few politicians. According to the Gallup poll, approval for the death penalty in the United States has risen from 42 percent in 1986 to 57 percent in 1972. The Harris survey shows a change from 48 percent fer the death penalty in 1969 to 59 per- cent in 1973. However, the long-torm trend in this country and abroad has been for abolition. Some 40 nations get along without it entirely or reserve Thoughts Of Man PEOPLE demand freedom of. speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use SOKKN KIEUKRGAARD it only for exceptional crimes such as treason in time of war. No one has been executed in the United States since 1967 and murder and negligent manslaughter remained at a steady rate from 1933 to 1972, ac- cording to the Federal government's Social Incinerators 1973. The current attempt to restore capital punishment is being made on the basis that mandatory sentences which cannot be meddled with by juries will somehow equalize the death penalty that in the past, as Justice Potter Stewart put it, was so wantonly and freakishly im- posed.” A few decades ago, however, juries were given discretion over sentences, according to Prof. Hugo Bedau of Tufts, so that acquittals or convictions for lesser crimes would be less frequent. The fact is that it is impossible to get away from discretion and make justice a perfect, non-discriminat- ing. mechanical process. If juries do not have discretion, prosecutors will have it ar.d rich defendants will still have a far better chance in court than poor defendants. It is signifi- cant that of the men sen , to death row sinco the Furman decision, 58 percent are black while blacks make up only 11 percent of the US popu- lation and by no means commit 58 percent of the crimes. If the death penalty is restored for Federal crime in Massachusetts and other states, it is likely that there will be many court appeals before any executions are carried out. in Massachusetts, for instance. Atty. Gen. Robert Quinn believes, as did several attorneys general before him, that the death penally would be cruel or unusual punishment under the Massachusetts constitu- tion. Justice William C. Douglas held in the Furman case that it would be unconstitutional on a Fed- eral scale. In any case, the death penalty helps no one and Gov. Sargent is right to veto the death penalty bill. We hope hi.«,veto will be sustained. AMNESTY CALLED PERIL TO MORALE The Calley Disgrace Where crime and Justice are concerned, the mind instinctively seek for uniformity. But uniformity of treatment is the attribute that has been singularly lack- ing In the case of Lieutenant William L. Calley Jr. Instead of bringing to trial before the same court-martial all officers and enlisted men who were in any way involved in the Myiai massacre in South Vietnam in 1968, the Army held different trials before different paneij of officers serving aa judges. The result was that one court-martial found Lieutenant CaJIey guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment, while other courts-martial exonerated his immediate superiors who under any reasonable principle of com- mand had the responsibility to supervise apd control hi conduct. Even worse, the high-ranking generals who originally hushed up Myiai were never tried at all. President Nixoo and other politicians meanwhile whipped up popular emotions in a disgraceful attempt to exploit misplaced patriotic sentiment for their per- aonal advantage. In an intervention virtually without precedent Mr. Nixon ordered Army authorities to allow Lieutenant Calley to stay in his bachelor officer's quar- ters rather than in the stockade during his appeal. Those appeals have taken an inexcusably long time and are not yet concluded. A court-martial convicted Lieutenant Calley on March 29, 1971. The Commanding General of the Third Army reduced his sentence from life to 20 years on August 29. 1971. The Army Court of Military Review did net decide the case until February 16. 1973. The United States Court of Military Appeals upheld the lower court's judgment December 21. Secretary of the Army Callaway and President Nixon have yet to make their reviews of the case. Unless one or the other frees Lieutenant Calley. he can raise Consti- tutional issues in the civilian courts. Against this back- ground, it is no surprise that a Federal judge in Georgia has ordered the lieutenant freed from house arrest pending a finarresolution of his case. • • • The substantive facts in the Calley case are not In dispute. A court-martial found Mm guilty of the pre- meditated murder of hot less than 22 Vietnamese,” all of them unresisting civilians, ar.d of assault with intent to murder a Vietnamese child. Morally, what Is in dispute is whether he is guilty of a war crime or whether, as his supporters believe, he was merely doing his duty as a soldier and did nothing extraordinary. In his own words, It wasnob:gdeal.s-r.” A year ago. the Army Court of Military Review rejected his appeal and suited: ' Destructive as war is, war is not an occasion for the unrestrained satisfaction of an individual soldier's proclivity to kill. ... the approved sentence is not too severe a consequence of his choosing to commit mass murder. Aside from Constitutional issues that may be raised in the civilian courts, it is difficult to see on what basis the court-martial verdict could be reversed or Lieutenant Calley's sentence further reduced. If he were to receive a further reduction of sentence or outright demercy from the President, it would be manifestly unfair to thousands of others serving sentences in military prisons for offenses less grave than his. Yet it is also unfair to make Lieutenant Calley the Ao. . . c- ,. scapegoat for the whole Myiai massacre. In this morally A Pentagon A.de Says .dove 4rnblguouJ situation, the Government can reasonably Could Hurt the Military follow one of two courses. Unless overruled by the civilian courts, it can allow Lieutenant Calley to serve the penalty for his crime, or it can review all Vietnam war sentences and consider a genera! amnesty. The intolerable course would be a Calley decision responsive to political pressures while mercy was with- held from those who are politically impotent. : TUc Sc-t s.Ttc« y O 4 TV ArrnsJ.

BUCKLEY JR. boasted he’d be famous By Donal O'Higgins United Press International BELFAST -James Corbett lilted to boast that one day he would be famous. You mark my words, he would confide to his friend Scan Dolan. Someday I'm going to make it. Someday you'll see my name in the newspapers. ' Shortly after 3 pm. Saturday, Corbett, a 20-ycar-old Roman Cath- olic, achieved a measure of fame. He became the 1000th person to die in the blood-letting which has ripped Northern Ireland for nearly five years. It was a bright, crisp afternoon Sirabane At five months of age He was the youngest victim. Or Martha Smyllie. the 91-year-old Protestant inmate of an old folks home, who was the oldest person to die. The horror of the big disasters make them stand out amid the sor- did round of daily killings: McGurk's bar, Dec. 4. 1971 — the still unsolved bomb blast which killed IS persons in Belfast to make it the biggest single death toll. The Abercorn restaurant, March 4. 1071 — the explosion in the crowded Belfast coffee shop which killed two persons and injured 136. Bloody Friday, July 21, 1972 — when 26 explosions within an hour killed nine persons and injured more than 200. Claudy, July 31, 1972 — when a sleepy country village was wracked. Soon the demonstrators took to the streets in every city and town. The stage was set for a show- down between the Protestant major- ity and the Catholic minority. It burst into flames in London- derry :n August i960, when Catho- lics barricaded themselves in their districts and defied the police For five d ys they fought with gasoline bombs, stones and bottles. Then the British army was called in. The nature of the straggle changed. Civil rights slogans grew faint. Instead the old, traditional cmmitics were aroused. Down with the British was the shout. At that time, the British army strength stood at 3000 men. Today, it has nearly 15,000 men attempting to 1001st victim owned garage Associated Press BELFAST — One person was killed yesterday, seven were wounded, and demonstrators tried to shout down the Archbishop of Canterbury as he called on Chris- tians to seek peace in Northern Ire- land. The slain garage owner was the 1001st victim of 414 years of vio- when the knock cams on the door of the small, terraced house in the Barnsley development in West Bel- fast Til get it. Corbett called to his wife. Betty, who is expecting their first child in a month or so. Outside the two-story house, stood two men, nervously puffing on cigarettes. A small, biuc mini-van was parked nearby. Corbett whispered to them for a few moments. Then he put on a black leather jacket and followed them to the van. Before he got in- side he looked back at his home. “He had a queer, tight express- ion on his face, his wife said. That was the last time she saw him alive. A British army patrol found his body dumped in s ditch on the outskirts of the city. He had been shot twice in the face. The killing bore the hallmarks of an execution by the illegal Irish Re- publican Army (IRA). An anony- mous telephone caller to a local radio station said the IRA had killed Corbett because he was an informer. We have no background on Corbett, a police spokesman said. But this was no random killing. This was a planned murder. There seems little doubt that Corbett was In the IRA. but his in- volvement was not deep, according to his friends. He was too anxious to get on in lde. to make something of himself. Dolor, said. He w2s not all that committed. Corbett’s name has found its own small niche in Northern Ireland's bloody history. He joined others whose crosses dot the countryside in the brutal three-cornered war among the IRA, the British army and Protestant ex- tremists. H!s murder was yet another milestone in the country's slide into chaos — and his fame was likely to be as fleeting as those others who became mere statistical fodder. Few today remember the name of Patrick Cortway. a 15-year-old Roman Catholic, who was blown to bits in the tiny rural village of Claudy on July 31. 1972, to become the 590th victim. Or Annette McGa- vingan. the 14-year-old Londoncrry girl, who was shot to death to be- come the 100th victim. Fewer still recall the name of Alan Jacks who was killed by a bomb outside a department store in lence in the province, authorities said. Reporting on injuries, officials said a couple was shot and injured, the legs of a policeman and a civil- ian were blown off, two other per- sona were shot, and a post office was bombed, seriously injuring a passer- by. , Or. Michael Ramsey, primate of the Anglican Church, was forced to halt his sermon until about 30 dem- onstrators were escorted from Bel- fast Cathedral after a scuffle with DUBLIN — There is a little quiet optimism here about the situation in the north. notwithstanding that the terrorism contin- ues and. recently, the Ul- ster Defense Association promised to execute 12 Catholics — apparently any 12 Catholics — in ret- ribution for the atrocity in England where 12 Protes- tant men. women and chil- dren died from a bomb detonated by the IRA Pro- visionals. It has been going on for so long, it is difficult to stir up against it the kind of indignation that is ap- propriate. It used to be suspected '.hat condemna- tions of the IRA by Irish politicians were formalis- tic, like the condemnations of the KKK by southern politicians 50 years ago. That is not true. The IRA Provisionals are genuinely deplored. It simply is not known what to do about them. And it is widely suspected that they are getting money not only (as is the most recent report) from the selling of dope in Western Europe, but that they arc getting money from Americans who know not what they do. The confusion breeds its own figures, conventional, and eccentric. There is for instanc© a psychiatrist, Noel Browne, who was Minister of Health 25 years ago as a young man, and is now in the Senate. He speaks as though yes- terday he had just discov- ered the works of Beatrice Webb. Apatt from social- ism. his other passion is the denunciation of the Catholic Church. If one pins him down, he seems to be criticizing the Irish Catholic Church, as distin- guished from the Catholic Church. On the other hand, he reiterates the fears of Northern Protes- tants at falling under Rome rule. to the use of force. Incred- ibly, he serves now in North Ireland as the Min- ister of Commerce, in the cabinet of Brian Faulkner. This is the best news of all, the cautious coopera- tion of Catholics and Prot- estants in the Executive and in the new Council of Ireland. The cabinet has been boycotted by the ex- tremist Protestants — the Paisleyitvs, who arc not satisfied that the White Paper from London should have guaranteed that North Ireland will never be integrated into Ireland proper except by the con- sent of the governed. John Hume used to say that, indeed, that exactly was what should be made to happen — that it is the vote of all the people in Ireland that counts, not the vote of the factitious s;x counties in the north, prescinded by the Act cf 1920. But Hume has changed his tone entirely since, at age 35, joining the government in the north. And he has done this without apparently losing his constituency. This Is solid achieve- ment, and the frulu of it are the gradual isolation of what Dr. Browne, as a psychiatrist, should know to call the aberronts. The anarchists meanwhile failed to pick up any sup- port in England, where Wilson endorsed whole- heartedly the handling of the Irish problem by Mr. Heath. A year or two of prog- ress at this level and it will become plainer that the terrorists are really killing people because killing people is a form of excitement, and like kid- naping young girls, if you can put ar. ideological gloss on it, you increase your self-esteem, which is more esteem than these sadists are entitled to.

Dublin Acknowledges the Rule Of Britain in Northern Ireland JOSEPH KRAFT 121 US is playing with fire in European showdown WASHINGTON — Why did President Nixon take gratuitous shot at the Eu- ropean allies in his Chica- go appearance last week? And why, for the previous 10 days, did Henry Kissin- ger knock the «Uses sr. statements to newsmen, senators ar.d even con- gressional wives? The answer is that the President and the Secre- tary of State are provok- ing a ahowdown ir. order to force the allies, once ar.d for all, onto the road of Atlantic partnership with this country. In the bargain, the allies would be put on the de- fensive and therefore un- able to upset ongoing ne- gotiations in the Middle East nr.d with the Soviet Union. Which is very nice, except that the bold move is apt to backfire with, ad- verse consequences both abroad and in the United States. Behind all this is the slow, unsteady progress toward political unity which Europe has been making following the entry of Britain in the Common Market last year. The French have beer, using the process to build a Gaul list Europe — di- vorced from the United States. They have Insisted on policy stands hostile to American interests in the Middle East and on a pro- cedure which forbids con- sultation with Washington until decisions aie taken. Most of the other Euro- pean countries, and espe- cially West Germany. want to stick close to the US. So while going along with France on procedural questions, they have tiicd to ccopciV.e with the United States on practical matters. In fact, during the past year there has been a rare degree of har- mony between Washington and the European allies on such substantive business as trade, exchange rotes and defense. Practical cooperation on specific problems has nol been good enough for the President and the Secre- tary of State A year ago, :n a speech which spokq of the Year of Europe, Dr. Kissinger called for an At- lantic dialogue to foster agreement at the highest levels on a joint statement of basic principles. The dialogue resulted only in a highly general- ized statement. Moreover, Dr. Kissinger was furious when the Europeans, last fall, prepared a draft statement and presented it to the United Slates with- out previous consultation, as an accomplished fact. The consultation issue erupted again as a result of Dr Kissinger's efforts to organize cooperation with the allies on the energy question. At the Washing- ton energy conference last month, he did prevail on eight of the European countries to agree to work jointly with the United States in dealing with problems growing out of the energy crisis. France, which opposed any coop- eration. was left isolated. But the French made a slight comeback by pre- vailing upon the other Eu- ropean countries, on March 4, to agree to a forthcoming meeting with Arab leaders from which the United States would be excluded. Once again, moreover. Dr. Kissinger felt that he was presented with a decision by the Eu- ropeans without serious advance consultation. Immediately thereafter, Dr Kissinger began los- .ng against the Europeans what the Economist of London called Henry's thunderbolts. The Presi- dent then piled it on in Chicago by indicating this country would withdraw troops from Europe tf the allies did not cooperate more in political and eco- nomic issues. Both men have a point. The habit of non-consulta- tion is bad. Unless cheeked soon, it could harden over the years so that eventual- ly the United States and Europe would drift apart on all major issues. At bottom, however, I think the President and Dt. Kissinger are ploying with fire. By forcing a conflict now, practical co- operation on specific issues is made more difficult. Worst of all, by raising the troop question, Mr. Nixon is only playing into the hands of those in this country who want to withdraw troops ns a first step in an over-all thin- ning of relations with Eu- rope.

Sui2berger PARIS—The North Atlantic Alliance marks its 25th anniversary this spring io a far gloomier atmosphere than had been anticipated. Whatever efforts that were still in the air to produce a gala vanished amid the exchanges of verbal briekhat between the United States ar.d France, which is still ioyai to the treaty although it quit the NATO military organization more than seven years ago. Now Pres- ident Nixon, who was supposed to come to Europe as a kind of master of ceremonies, may well earned his trip. The actual arguments taking place are really somewhat Jaded because they are not based on new develop- ment� but rehash old differences. The basic problem is that when the appear- ance of Soviet menace fades, the ce- ment holding together the Western coalition begins to flake away. Neither in times of prosperity nor in times of inflation, as today, do the fat-dripping lands of Europe want to get together and protect themselves or pay the full price—above all in terras of trade and monetary arrange- ments—for the U.S. protection they need instead. Moreover, Western Europe is more Interested in developing a deterrent that would frighten off Russia than it l rn developing a strategy to fight a war. Such a strategy existed during the nineteen-fifties, despite shortfalls in pledged contributions, but it has been languishing since. Now the question of a deterrent fs-posed wuh less confidence as Soviet nuclear-missile power continues to gain both m actual and m relative strength vis-i-vis the United States. Our North Atlantic allies have come increasingly to realize that they are too weak by themselves to create any serious deterrent of their own and that the likelihood of American action to save Europe in an emergency cannot help but diminish. Now that both the U.S.A. and the US.S.R. have second-strike nuclear forces capable of destroying each other totally, it is leas ard Imw easy to imagine them employing these forces for any issue other than their respective national survival. For lesser issues—Including military operations in Europe—they might pre- fer accommodation to mutual destruc- tion. This his been increasingly plain sfhee Gen. Maxwell Taylor was named chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefa of Suff by President Kennedy—after he had published a book indicating Ameri- FOREIGN AFFAIRS can atomic arms aboold only bo used if United States territory or forces were directly hit. This line of thinking produced two European reactions. Ore reasoned that it was more necessary than ever to retain a considerable American mili- tary presence here—to insure the kind of US. Hoop pledge General Taylor wrote about. The second reasoned that without such a presence, all Europe might become a kind of Middle East where Washington and Moscow supported client states but avoidod confrontation between themselves. It is disquieting to the allies on their 25th birthday to feel themselves slipping into a choice between even greater dependence on the U.S.A —and paying a stiff price for it—or becoming relatively so supine that they canr.ot insure their continued independence against all contingencies except the national survival of the United States. The increasing rcJrance on a deter- rent implies two things. The allies themselves must hav total confidence that the single superpower among them will act decisively, if needed, for the common interest. And the single superpower among the alliance's ad- versaries—in this case Russia—must be. if not equally confident of a hostile U.S. reaction, at least extremely un- certain about if. how ar.d when it would come. But we know that the total confi- dence of our allies has been eroding more or less steadily since the Taylor book (and appointment): since the Cuban crisis and Vietnam posed tha dangers of involvement outside the Atlantic treaty area, and above ail since the impressive gain in Soviet power. And with thi erosion of confidence among our partners—which I the background to thi month’ nasty pub- lic debate—one may suspect there has •Iso been erosion in at least the de- gree of military uncertainty concern- ing potential U.S. actions as analyzed by Soviet contingency planners. Even Joseph Luns. the ebullient and normally optimistic Dutchman who is NATO's Secretary General, admits in the alliance's official publication: There are serious doubts about the readiness of the electorates in the Western deraocracie to support their governments in essential deferte spending. There are equally vocal doubts expressed about the cohesion of the alliance. 122 April 16, 1974 Vol. 4.

Anonymous Blatent Sexism ' To the Editor, In reference to the article on Ike and Tina Turner Revue which appeared in the UPP last issue, we feel the blatent sexism and the lack of qualitative reviewing displayed by the author is abhoring. The article was totally one-sided and it omitted the reaction of the general viewing audience - both female and male. Hardly any of the favorable aspects of the concert were reviewed by the author who chose to present an opinion through the eyes of a sensationalist. The editor talked In his first page editorial about a lack of student participation in the UPP and it is no wonder this occurs when such narrow minded individuals produce works such as these which have no literary value and display . sexual bias. It is about time that UMPC got a big named group such as Ike and Tina Turner and got a taste of what boogie's really about. The article made no mention what- soever of the efforts and hard work by all members of the Concert Com- mittee of the Student Activities Board. The article went into great detail describing the many googlie-eyed men in the audience's reaction to the concert, but not once was a women’s opinion mentioned What’s the matter boys, are you afraid maybe i we enjoyed It!! i Chickie Cusick Kathy Greene 123 Reich Symposium A week long symposium on trie theories and discoveries of Wilhelm Reich and related topics will be held from April 16 19.

We would alto like to have a telephone, a kind of 'hot line' which people can call when they are depressed or in trouble One of the biggest problems in die state has been the young person who suddenly realizes that he is not interested in women, but that he likes men al- though he has always been taught that he shouldn't like hoys because 'it's bad'. These young people have almost no where to turn. If we had a hot line we could let them know th3t they are not alone, that they are not freaks, that they are persons, like everyone else, arul that then sexuality is irrelevant. Despite the foct that it s ems so important at the time, wc need to let them know that their sexuality is only one aspect of their personality. We can talk to them as people who have gone through similiar experience, letting diem know how it t without couching the discussion in some remote psycho- logical jargon which wouldn't really alleviate their problem.

I guess most of the people in Maine who arc against us wouldn’t say anything. For instance, a man who was on during the hour before our program said that he was going to turn off his radio when we came on because he didn't want to hear ut I think that that's pretty typical of Maine people They'd rather just shut their eyes and cars and pretend we don't exist He pointed out that older homo- sexuals feel threatened by the vocaJ minority A good bit of the resistance to GROcomc from within thegay community.

Who Calls the Tune? Above are excerpts from the legislative debate that rmrpted after some representatives argued that the entire current services budget of the University of Maine be killed to protest the Board of Trustee’s controversial ricccskm that will allow a homosexual conference to be held on the Orono campus. These quotes, anti several others, first appeared in the March 22 edition of the MAINE TIMES along with an accurate observation • “seldomlias a debate been more revealing of attitudes.” Although the move was defeated the part two budget for the whole system suffered unprecedented cuts. It was reduced to a meager 1051 of the original request. Some will argue that the severe trimming was due to a simple lack of available funds. Many who observed the legis- lative proceedings, however, feel somewhat differently. Students from the University pf Maine at Orono sat in on several part of the proceedings sum! reported that there was a very widespread dissatisfaction with what legislators believed was a lack of accountability on the part of the Board of Trustees. Some representatives were very outright in their determination to make the Board more responsible to thcLegidaturc. They advocated that line budgeting be introduced, a move which would force the Board to itemize requests in much greater detail. Moreover, the legislative record .speaks for itself. The “gay contro- versy”, rather than offering the legislators an opportunity to address themselves to the issues of free speech and assembly, brought to a head the growing legislative dissatisfaction with University autonomy. To coin a phrase, there is a popular feeling, especially amount; representatives that “He who pays the piper, should call the tune”. Such attitudes amount the politicians of this slate pose a serious threat to the academic freedom of the University system. State funded universities axe able to offer practical tuition rates and can avoid some of the economic disasters plaguing private colleges, but the spectre of legislative control over the academic community is also a by product of state-wide systems. Political control, whether municipal, state, or federal, over academic institutions is bad under most any circumstances, The nature of the threat posed is determined hy the attitudes and consciousness of the legislator or politicians themselves. With thLs in mind 1 highly reccomend that anyone concerned with the consciousness level of those individuals responsible for funding this school consult the State Congressional Records for the period during which the ’’homosexual debate raged the hotest. I, personally, was abhored by the down right ignorance displayed by a large number of representatives. The narrow-minded, even racist quality of many remarks left me both fearful and disgusted I could fdl this page with quotations from representatives Indicating that (and I paraphrase) homosexuality is a sickness deseiving of a hospital not an educational institution, that vocal minority groups are to be feared, and that society should never buckle undri to thrir arrogant demands; that police dogs should be sent in to deal with dissenting students; and that professors in Political Science. Economics, History, run down our system, the democratic system in this country, and teach marxism to our student . Although I am no great supporter of the Board of Trustees, or many of their policies, I woukl certainly prefer their administrative service� over those such an enlightenedlegislativebody could offer. Ideally,� body rifled with notions that pose such a venous threat to the academic freedom of the university (indeed, if not the civil liberties of the university population) should keep as great a distance as is poss- ible. Unfortunately this is the body to which we must turn for financial mainlaincnce. We should not have to grovel at their legislative feel, only to be slapped on the wrist with tremendous budget cut . Although many of our noble representatives fancy themtelves as great orators they are little more than the hired administrators of the funds you and I pay in State taxes. Those who opposed the Board’s ruling on the gay issue made themselves quite vocal and 1 now urge. in the interests of maintaining a safe distance from the State Houvc, that those who support the First Amendment question and oppose legislative control over university decisions do likewise. In a letter or phone call to your representative demand that he take a clear stand on the Board's interpretation of the First Amendment, University autonomy, and the reason for such serious budget cuts.

Botwright Globe Staff Oil drilling rigs will probably be appearing otf the New England coast in the next few years —a big question is how soon. Dr. Stephen Cage, director of a White House study on offshore drill- ing. said yesterday that some rigs could be in place by next year. Officials of the Interior Dept, and the American Petroleum Insti- tute, however, cautioned Massachu- setts not to panic.” The Interior of- fice mentioned legal and procedural difficulties that must be overcome before drilling can begin and said the oil companies may focus their dtilling efforts off the Middle At- lantic stales first. These comments came after the White House report on drilling was made public in newspaper accounts. The report, by the President's Coun- cil on Environmental Quality, has not been released yet. However, a draft of the council's recommenda- tions said drilling off the East Coast was an acceptable environmental risk. Dr. Gage, director of the council, said in Washington that when the rigs arc set up “there is a very little probability of any oil spills on Georges Bank fouling beaches on Cape Cod and elsewhere in New England. Only 10 or 20 percent of an oil spill would finally Boat ashore in the form of larballs. he said. These are a damn nuisance but are nothing like the massive oil spill off Santa Rarbara, Calif., “which came ashore right away. DRILLING.

National Guardsmen, Ohio state troopers and dozens of emergency crews are working at the piles of rubble that once were comfortable hdmes and placid places of business. Sirens screamed al- mas: continuously as ambulances brought in more victims to Gree Memorial Hospi- tal. In one demolished res;dential area, women sat on. the street and cried in front of what once were their homes and men wandered through the rubble pick- ing up little pieces of debris and then let- ting them fall from their fingers. One estimate was that 85 percent of the buildings in the swath up to three- quarlcns of a mile wide were demolished. Other estimates were that 50 percent of this town of 25,000 was laid low.

By 1162, Major League Scouts were attending Negro league game regularly and before long both the giants and the Braves were interested in Aaron's contract The Braves were given the first opportunity to sign him, but when they procrastinated, they were given as ultimatum by the downs — sign him now or forget about him. On the day (be Bravrs were forced with the decision whether or not to sign Aaron, scout Dewey Griggs, wbo had sat through a steady rain to watch Aaron perform against Buffalo, got a call from Braves General Manager John Quinn What do you think’ Qxr.n asked Can he play short?” TO tell you the truth, Griggs said, ihe field was so wci I couldn't figure cut whether he's playing short or not But he’s worth JJ.500 just for his swing.

That was the conclusion of sources inside the Ara- bian-Amcrican Oil Co. (Arunco), which con- cluded a two-day board of directors meeting last week at the headquarters of Standard Oil of Califor- nia. one of the four Amer- ican oil companies that arc Aramco partner . The aourccs said they hope Saudi Arabia will not turn to the embargo again as a political weapon, but held out the possibility if ■ Syrian settlement 1« not reached by June 1. A second embargo would be an economic di- saster, one Aramco source told the Washing- ton Post “It would cer- tainly mean new produc- tion cutbacks. which would drive prkes up again “ This source explained that it was the Saudii who had helped to win the rest of the Arab world to the idea of ending the embar- go. declaring that progress w«s being made in the Middle Fast peace talks. The Saudis were the moderates the last time, convincing the militants to end the embargo, the source said. “If Syrian talks come to a hall or go backwards, the Saudis will be forced into a much leu moderate stance on the embargo isauc. If there Is progress to- ward a Syrian settlement and there is no second em- bargo, oil prices will prob- ably remain where they are for tome time to come. The Aramco sources Mid they felt the $11.65 posted Arabian price for a barrel of oil would not move down until many oil pro- ducers agreed to lower the price, a view shared by one of three Saudis on the Aramco board. '•The present price level is not in line with our pol- icy. but we need concerted action by many oil pro- ducers to get the price down.” said Dr. Abdul Yadi Taher, Saudi Ara- bia's governor for petrole- um and minerals Our ac- tion alone would not be sufficient to get the prices down. Dr. Taher (pronounced tie-air) said he felt a price of $6.50 a barrel would be a more reasonable world- wide price, but admitted the Saudi view was not shared by such producers as Iran and Venezuela. To put downward pres- sure on prices, the Saudi Arabians agreed to allow an expansion of produc- tion by Aramco in their own country. The Aramco board last week voted to spend between $2.5 billion and 53.5 billion to Increase oil output by two million barrels a day by the end of 1975. The move to expand Saudi Arabian oil produc- tion was the main order of business at the Aramco board meeting It will allow Aramco to produce 11.2 million barrels of «1 a day by the end of 1975, as increase of almost 3 mil- lion barrels a day. Saudi Arabia still has 600.000 barrels of oil a day in readily available unused capacity, but should reach it full pro- duction rate of 9 2 million barrels a day before the end of the year. Aramco sources insisted the board did not discuss any proposals to increase Saudi Arabia's share in Aramco from its present 25 percent. Report� u London suggested the Saudis would press for control, and for It were willing to pay $500 mil- lion. One reason for the Sau- dis to increase their own- ership is to supply their share of Aramco otf to run the large number ol refi- neries and petrochemical plants they plan to build in Saudi Arabia. In the next seven to 10 years, Saudi Arabia will spend between $15 billion or.d $17 billion on indus- trial expansion Most of the expansion will come from the sale of oil, which is pounng SI 5 billion a month into Saudi Arabia One estimate of Saudi cash reserves is $4 billion, growing at a rate of $1 billion a month The Saudis arc planning an aluminum plant, a giant petrochemical plant and a joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell for a refinery that will cost $500 million. They are planning to construct five industrial cities.” three on the Ara- bian Gulf coast, one on the Hed Sea coast and one in the interior. “I’d rather have detente with Cuba and get a decent cigar!” 130 Kissinger said a mouthful There it nothing more difficult than for a highly industrialised na- tion to tell the poorer portions of the world that they ought to curb their ambitions for a better exis- tence h smacks of the worst kind of arrogance and selfishness and seems to imply that they should continue to endure their poverty while the test of us wallow in our Affluence But Hcniy Kissinger was correct in warning the special session of the United Nations that there is a real peril to everyone in trying to reshape all of the international trade m natural resources virtually In- stantaneously. a peril that could ac- tually reduce the prospects for the poor to achieve their perfectly legi- timate aspirations.

It could trigger a recession that would jhut markets for the poor countries.

He made a pledge that the indus- trial countries, or at least this in- dustrial country, would meet its obligations to provide the technical and physical assistance without which the poorer countries will have an exceedingly hard time in im- proving their lot But that pledge really had to be directed in several directions at once, just at his ‘•Project Interde- pendence'' was a reminder to Presi- dent Nixon that there really is no such thing as absolute self-sufficien- cy in today's world. This time the rebuke is directed at a Congress that hat been woefully slow in of- fering assistance to the poorer coun- tries in recent years. CongiCM earlier this year, for instance, defeated a SI.) billion grant to the International Develop- ment Association, a subdivision of the World Bank that assists the cmeigmg nations That defeat may have been understandable political- ly in an ciicigy-fruthtened nation, but it was unforgivable as a broad expression of refusal to help a por- tion of the world that lives all too often or per capita income of a lit- tle at ) 100 a year. We hope that the Resource-own- ing nations will pay heed to Mr. Kissinger about the dangei implicit in embargoes and cartels, but we think his most important audience was really in Washington on Capitol Hill.

Herman, as the war cf attrition tcent into its 37lk day. By Ha! McClure, Associated Press ATOP MT HERMON, Occupied Syria—The Isractis and Syrians arc engaged in a deadly battle for control of this rocky, snowswept peak that looms a mile above the Golan Heights war front. We ircar. to hold on to llcrmon, said an Israeli officer. This mountain is the eyes—and ears—of the Middle East. On clear days the view stretches to and beyond Damascus, the Syrian capital about 25 miles to the east northeast. Israel conquered ail of the Hernon massif from. Syria in the Middle East war last October. Both sides were content to hold their positions during the bitter cold winter months. But the arrival of spring heated more than the weather. The Syrians made their first attempt to win back the 9232-fool peak from the Israelis April 6. Other tries followed—and all failed, the Israelis say. Military correspon- dents yesterday reported that Israel had finished building a rough track to the peak of the mountain where they have estab- lished a fortified position. During the night the Israelis fired a: a Syrian helicopter and Syrian forces in the area be low-the peak to the north. A , ground search at daybreak revealed nothing, the Israeli military command in Tel Aviv said. ELSEWHERE IN THE NEWS INTERNATIONAL THE WARSAW PACTS top po- litical consultative committee yester- day opened a three-day meeting be- lieved to be aimed at encouraging detente and reducing Western suspi- cions of Communist policy. Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, Pre- mier Alcxi Kosygin and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko joined ether Warsaw Pact leaders for the talks. Although no agenda was pub- lished, the Polish party newspaper Trybuna Luda said the Pact states would strive to reduce Western re- luctance to give support to military detente. US-EAST GERMAN relations are being formally established, US administration officials said, but they would not predict precisely when the diplomatic ties would be completed. The New York Times re- ported that John Sherman Cooper, former Republican senator from CKfc 'iou Kentucky and ambassador to India in 1955 and 195$, may be named the first US ambassador to Communist East Germany Officials confirmed his name was being considered. CHILEAN AIR FORCE officials and civilians — 5? in all— went be- fore a court-martial board in the first of an expected series of courts- martial aimed at cleansing the Chil- ean armed forces of supporters of the late Socialist President Salva- dor Allcndc. Defense lawyers al- leged that five of their clients had been tortured while piusecutors claimed that Alicnde’s government was not constitutional, the first timo a representative of the military junta had made such a claim. THE NUMBER of US troops in Europe will not be reduced unless agreed to at East-West talks in Vienna, US Defense Secretary James Schlcsir.ger predicted after conferring with West German De- fense Minister Georg L«b«r. He said they agreed NATO must maintain enough military power to adjust to changes in the military strength of the Warsaw Pact forces. Schlesinger The Boston Globe Thursday, April 18, 1974 Various battles have been fought on this mountain in the past seven years. Here is a chronology: In the 1967 Middle East war. Israel conquered the 7220-fcot-fcugh Kctcf ha Sharon — the Hermon shoulder — at the southern er.d of the mountain. Syria retained the rest of the massif, including the peak. Last October, in a stunning surprise attack. Syrian commandos, landing by helicopter, overran heavily for- tified Israeli positions on the Kctcf ha Sharon, and gained complete mastery of the mount. Sixteen days later, Mt. Hermon changed hands again as the Israelis recaptured the Kctcf in bloody hand-to-hand fighting. The Israelis re-established their rock and concrete fortresses on the Ketef and on another high point be- tween the shoulder and the peak to the north. Israel established within the United Nations that it controlled the peak, although it had r.o soldiers sta- tioned there because of the encroaching winter. That was the way the situation stood until April 8, when Israeli spotters saw about 40 Syrian commandos moving up the mountain. The Israelis called in artillery fire and air strikes. On Easier Sunday, Israeli troops who had been sent to construct a permanent base on the peak after the Syrian attack, discovered that during the night a 30- man Syrian force had moved to within 690 feet of the summit. The battle that followed lasted most of the day. It was the hottest combat since October. Premier Gulda Meir has said Israel would be pre- pared to hand over the Hermon peak to the United Na- tions as part of any separation of force agreement with Syria. But Israel still wants to hold on to other positions on the mountain, she said was in West Germany to tour Amer- ican military installations.

Pro� � H f«W. Thursday. Ap il 25. 1974 UMPQ’s Student Theater Stages Bitter Kopit Satire By ANDY MFRDEK Staff Writer Satire. like n roller skate, depends on ball bearings. If the audience doeso't have a ball, it !� es its bearings. Ther had a ball at Wednesday night’s opening of Arthur Kopit's satire. Indians:’ presented by the UMPG Art Theater and di- rected by Tom Powers They laughed in the right places, but appropriate silences from the 1J5 playgoers indicated they understood the bitter outrages behind the laughs. Kopit's play, a dream-llke series of flashes backward and forward, pinpoints the atrocities of ward and deed committed by the United States government against the Ameri- can Indians An American audience has as much right to laugh a: the show’s historical meaning as It has to laugh at the My Lai massacre or at the bombing of Bach Mai Hospital. THE INDIAN WARS from 1?« to 1890 represented America’s first peace with hon- or.” our country’s initial attempt to impose its will upon a culture of different skin color. There was even a body count, which, as was the case in the Vietnam War. was printed in the press like ft baseball box score Kopit's play spews its most vituperative condemnation at Ned Bunt line, the reporter who trailed after Buffalo Bill Cody, lionizing his efforts against beasts of brown fur and of red skin. Cody himself is portrayed as an geo- centric poseur who finally begins to under- stand the havoc that won him fame Indian lenders aro seen as victims — deceived. In- sulted and finally murdered by the federal government BUFFALOED — Chns Tlzzano, right, will appear as “Buffalo Bill” Cody in the UMPCi Art Theatre production of Arthur Kopit's Indians, opening to- Luther Bonney Auditorium on the Portland campus. Herb Adams, left, will be seen as Sen. Logun. MINOR TECHNICAL SNAFUS and the nervous rushing of lines detracted from the performance, but the points were made. Ard some performances were superb — thought- ful, Inventive and sincere. Andy Stewart, faced with the difficult task of play ing three roles, managed to keep them separate, credible and compelling. As the purposeful Burttine, he was properly des- picable. As Jesse James he was slothful ard sleazy, and as Col. Forsythe, leader of the Wounded Knee massacre, he could have been Lt. Callcy. Ray Bouffard, as Indian spokesman John Grass, was a joy, His indignation was dy- namic yet tempered, and in conjunction with Herb Adams’ portrayal of the bombastic Sen- ator I tgan, it made for the play's finest mo- ment TONY SHALHOL'B’S SITTING BULL was a constant compulsion. His measured tones, efficiency of movement and clarity of purpose kept the play lrom dragging when the pace might otherwise have been painful. As Buffalo Bill Cody, Chris Tiarano turned in an uneven performance. When be was good, he was great — when he was bad, the Theater of the Absurd became simply ab- surd theater When he learns that bravado doesn’t necessarily require volume and speed, he'll tear the house down. Jeff Kellet's lights and set were property stark and rough hewn. The only distraction came from the projection of authentic, Indian massacre slides above the set. It should be enough to watch act«s suffer and die. the real thing cn high only served to undercut the craft of the cast. BOB SWITZER'S EERIE SOUND EF- FECTS contributed much to the overall envi- ronment without interfering in stage busi- ness. The authoritative drumrolls at the end of the play did justice to the final tableau. Indians continues through Sunday At Luther Bonney Hall on the UMPG Portland campus at 8 p.m. daily. Benefit perform- ances will be given Mny 4 and 5 for the UMPG Alumni Association and the Chil- dren's Theater of Maine, respectively. e ‘ V— Z KNOW VICE.
