A California superior court dropped state burglary and conspiracy charges against John Ehrlichman and two aides, ending a rare subpoena fight involving President Nixon.

Ransom Paid for Esso Executive in Argentina
Esso Oil Co of Argentina confirmed it paid 14.2 million to secure the release of Victor E. Samuelson, the refinery manager held since December. Seven armed men seized him at the Buenos Aires plant as ERP guerrillas demanded cash after threatening his life. Samuelson, 36, and his family had ties to the United States, with his wife and three children living in Cleveland. The payout was described as the largest ransom for a kidnapping, with authorities noting concerns over guerrilla strength and potential use of funds to sustain operations. The ERP group also held other captives and attacked military targets, including Swissair South American director Kurt Schmid.

Artillery duels persist along the Golan Heights
United Press International reports three straight days of Syrian shelling on the Golan Heights cease-fire lines after Foreign Minister Abba Eban arrived in Washington to meet with Secretary of State Kissinger on Syrian-Israeli troop pullbacks. The Israeli military says Syrian gunners hit three positions and Israel returned fire with no casualties. High level talks between Israel and Jordan reportedly touched on West Bank status, with Jordan seeking guarantees for withdrawal and Israel resisting a Palestinian state. Eban’s Washington visit faces tight security, with meetings eyed between Eban and Kissinger to set the next stage in indirect pullback talks.
