Times Recorder, The (Newspaper) - May 3, 1974, Zanesville, Ohio Kissinger Receives Israeli Disengagement Plan as Kissinger h L n muri UQ Jl HIP JERUSALEM UPI Secretary of State Henry A Kissinger received Israel's proposal for a military gagement with Syria Thursday and reassured worried Israelis he would not work against their security in his search for peace on the embattled Golan Heights Kissinger arriving from Egypt on his new middle East peace shuttle was greeted outside his hotel by young Israeli demonstrators who and carried banners warning against Israeli sions on the Golan issue The demonstrators bore signs saying Kissinger we are not for sale In their talks Thursday the Israelis told Kissinger how far they would go and how far they would not go to achieve a military disengagement with Syria Publicly there was a hard line against withdrawing from anything more than the salient Israel captured beyond the Golan Heights in the October war the Israeli leaders told Kissinger in private Kissinger's talks with Prime Minister Golda Meir and her chief ministers took place against the background of increased fighting on the Golan Heights where five Israelis were killed and Israeli guns shelled to within nine miles of Damascus in the day of fighting A high American official said that whether President Nixon visits the Middle East this summer did not entirely depend on the outcome of the disengagement talks but that the decision would obviously be affected by the outcome of the talks If Kissinger is successful in bringing about a military disengagement of Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights Nixon might go to the Middle East in the next month or so administration officials have indicated In Washington a White House spokesman said Kissinger has informed President Nixon that his talks with Israeli officials were very useful We're clarifying the merits of a possible agreement on disengagement Kissinger told newsmen as he walked out of a two-hour session with Israels negotiating team American said Kissinger did not receive a map detailing the Israeli proposals he would take to Syria Friday the next stop in his shuttle between Israel and the Arab world No specific Israeli map was presented although the Israelis did describe the strategy and geographical considerations as they see them again in any possible disengagement American man Robert J McCloskey said described the talks as friendly Kissinger flew here from Egypt in the morning and almost immediately took his new wife Nancy to meet Mrs Meir Then he the Prime Minister and Israeli Ambassa- dor to the United States Simha lunched in private The American spokesman said the meeting at Mrs Meirs office from 4 to 6 p m reviewed all the elements of a possible disengagement

For Additional Tapes WASHINGTON UPI President Nixon Thursday de- fied a subpoena from the special prosecutor for 64 more tapes and White House lawyers indicated he would fight it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary U.S District Judge John J Sirica scheduled a hearing next Wednesday on Nixon's refusal to comply with the subpoena from Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski Sirica also gave Jaworski and seven defendants in the Watergate coverup case until Monday to reply to the White House motion to quash the subpoena Jaworski has said he needs the tapes for the trial of the seven former Nixon aides and associates beginning Sept 9 Nixon was ordered last month to answer Jaworski's subpoena by Thursday But his chief Watergate attorney James D went into court Wednesday asking Sirica to quash it and later disclosed that he was prepared to take the case to the Supreme Court The White House motion appeared to reflect a broader decision by Nixon to release nothing more about Watergate beyond the page script of presidential conversa- tions that was made public Tuesday White House Chief of Statt Alexander M Haig refused to answer more than 100 questions put to him Thursday by Senate Watergate committee Haig reportedly told the investigators that the President ordered him to remain silent The U.S Circuit Court of Appeals meantime ordered the committee to try to get along without transcripts or copies of five White House tapes it has sought since last summer rather than continuing a court battle to obtain them It suggested the Ervin committee could get the mation it needs from House View Rejected ino WASHINGTON UPI White House announced day that President Nixon will reject the conclusion of House impeachment investigators that his transcript did not fulfill their subpoena for 42 Watergate tapes The announcement was made by Deputy Press Secretary L Warren who did not know whether the President had received a letter in which the House Judiciary Committee cited him for failure to comply Warren said Nixon contends that the large volume of White transcripts which were released to the public Tuesday tells the full story of Watergate We feel that it is complete and we feel that it gives the House Judiciary Committee the facts with which to make a Warren said Warren echoed previous White House statements that neither the committee nor special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski need any more material from the President's confidential files But none of the members of Judiciary Committee agreed that the matter was closed They noted the subpoena is still in force and Nixon still is ex- to comply They also Russians Threaten Chinese MOSCOW UPI The Soviet Union demanded day that China immediately return a helicopter and man crew that went down six weeks ago or suffer the inevitable consequences of this provocative the Tass news agency said The official Soviet news agency said Friday Deputy Foreign Minister Leonid chov the head of the Soviet delegation at the suspended Sino-Soviet border talks called in Chinese Ambassador Liu Thursday to protest We would like to draw at- tention to the fact that if the Chinese side intends to further detain the helicopter and its crew to abuse Soviet people it thereby assumes full blity for the inevitable of this provocative stand note said according to Tass The Soviet government in- sists on the immediate return of the helicopter and its three-man crew it said reiterated the Soviet position that the Army helicopter was on a medical mercy mission to evacuate urgently a gravely ill person from a border post expected to approve another subpoena if the White House fails to provide a second batch of tapes which they requested Before we are through with this there will be a day of said Rep John F Seiberling a com- member The ball is back in Nixon's court Many committee members indicated that Nixon's failure to comply might be the basis for one article of impeachment against the President The Judiciary Committee voted 20 to 18 along party lines Wednesday night to instruct Chairman Peter J Rodino to write a letter to Nixon saying The committee on the Judiciary has directed me to advise you that it finds that as of 10 April 30 you have failed to comply with the committee's subpoena of April II 1974 President Blocks Answers WASHINGTON UPI Acting on direct orders from President Nixon White House Chief of Staff Alexander M Haig Thursday refused to answer more than 100 questions posed by Senate Watergate investigators Committee sources said most of the questions put to Haig in the half-hour executive session centered on the campaign contribution which Howard Hughes gave to Nixon's close friend Charles G Bebe Rebozo Haig was accompanied by White House Watergate lawyer James D St Clair who reportedly said Nixon prohibited Haig's testimony on the grounds of executive privilege It was the first time the White House has used the executive privilege doctrine to bar testimony by presidential aides since the committee began its hearings one year ago UPI obtained a copy of a letter Nixon sent to Haig prohibiting his testimony before the committee You are directed not to testify about any information received or undertaken while you served as my chief of staff or as a member of the National Security Council Nixon wrote Chairman Sam J Ervin Jr of the Senate Watergate committee said he did not think executive privilege has any application whatever to any matter in connection with the Watergate He said the committee did not want to question Haig about any with Nixon but only about he had other people and especially political Ervin said executive privilege exists under very restricted circumstance and covers communications that are held for the purpose of advising the President and that claims of executive privilege in the Haig case were totally unsupportable Haig's refusal to testify seemed to back up the White House position that no more presidential information will be turned over to Watergate investigators since the release Tuesday of more than edited tape transcripts The White House has indicated no further tapes will be turned over to the House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry and has moved to kill a subpoena by the Watergate prosecutor for 64 more tapes scripts made public by Nixon this week or from copies of the tapes now in the possession of the House Judiciary Committee that is considering the ty of impeaching Nixon The House Judiciary tee voted Wednesday night to inform Nixon that the large volume of transcripts did not fulfill a subpoena which it initiated for 42 tapes needed in an investigation of possible grounds for impeaching the President But presidential spokesman Gerald L Warren said Nixon will reject the committee's conclusion because the scripts tell the full story of Watergate Committee Chairman Peter J Rodino J said Nixon's failure to comply with the subpoena may become one count in an impeachment resolution Nixon's offer to allow Rodino and the committee's ranking Republican Rep Edward Hulchinson to verify the curacy of the transcripts by listening to the tapes was rejected by Rodino He said he also wants the committee's attorneys to listen to the tapes Vice President Gerald R Ford predicted Thursday that a compromise might be reached to allow committee counsel John Doar to hear the tapes But Warren said Ford was not speaking for the White House Doar told the committee that at least one of the transcripts proved to be inaccurate when it was compared to a White House tape which the impeachment investigators have During a hearing in federal court an attorney for Jaworski's office told Sirica that the President gave up any claim of confidentiality ing the 64 subpoenaed tapes when he released the scripts earlier this week But an attorney for Nixon countered that by releasing the transcripts the President has not waived privilege on the tapes themselves Girder Work Nears

was so morally obtuse that he con- cheated the ment violated his oath and failed to see his duty to act in all matters The disbarment proceedings came as the result of Agnew's no contest plea to evading in federal income taxes in 1967 last Oct 10 when he also resigned the vice presidency rather than face charges of accepting illegal payments while a local official governor and vice president He was fined and placed on three v ears ised probation On Dec 18 Agnew asked a special three judge panel pointed to hear the disbarment case not to strip me of my livelihood and said he should not be treated differently from other lawyers just because he had been a public official But the panel disagreed and recommended that his right to practice law be revoked by the Court of Appeals the final arbiter in such matters On Thursday the high court ordered Agnew disbarred ing that Maryland court deci- sions required them to disbar as a matter of course any lawyer who is shown to be willfully dishonest for personal i gam by means of fraud deceit cheating or like conduct absent the most compelling circumstances not shown to be present here Accordingly the name of the respondent Spiro T Agnew will be stricken from the roles of those authorized to practice law in this state It is difficult to feel com- passion for an attorney who is so morally obtuse that he consciously cheats for his

Fuel Allocations WASHINGTON UPI With Arab oil shipments reaching the United States in increased amounts the Federal Energy Office sday boosted the allocation program for nearly all petroleum products including gasoline and aviation jet fuel Effective June 1 the revised allocations are based on the assumption that supplies of crude oil will increase However FEO Administrator John C Sawhill said the nation still can expect a 4 to 6 per cent petroleum shortage unless conservation is practiced The lifting of the Arab embargo greatly improved our situation but the problem is going to remain with us Sawhill said I want to em- that unless we conserve we are going to face some spot shortages from time to time If there is a shortage Sawhill said it most likely would occur in gasoline jet fuel and petrochemical stocks Under the revised tions gasoline stations can get 110 per cent of current demand if the supplies are available Under the original allocation program gasoline stations got anywhere from 75 to 100 per cent oi their 1972 quotas If supplies are available current requirements for com- airlines will be met Saw hill's statement said trial users also will be able to obtain their current ments of gasoline In a separate statement the FEO urged motorists not to buy unnecessarily high octane gasoline Not only is overbuying a waste of consumers money it is also a waste of crude oil for all other things being equal more crude oil is used in refining gasoline to a higher octane Sawhill said Motorists were advised to buy cne or two tanks of gasoline of a lower octane than currently used If the engine knocks he should go back to buying the higher octane fuel If it does not he can try the next lowest grade until the engine begins to knock then move back up to the next higher grade The FEO said that one or two tanks of octane gasoline would not hurt an automobile engine Damage is done only under sustained knocking tions it said The Senate Thursday passed without
