The trial of former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans on perjury conspiracy and obstruction charges was delayed again due to Mitchell’s lawyers being occupied in another case. Judge Lee P.

Five pistols found hidden in girl’s baggage at airport
Customs officials recovered five automatic pistols and 150 rounds of ammunition from the girl’s baggage. A third suspect, a Pakistani man, was arrested two days later after arriving from Los Angeles. Airline sources said a list of 30 gunmen, mostly Arab, circulated at airports. Police and immigration officers intensified checks on Middle East passports as a possible courier network surfaced. The girl is thought to be a courier for an Arab group planning attacks on Jews in Britain. Millionaire Joseph Sieff was shot by a masked assailant. the Marxist group claimed responsibility. London Jews fear a death list of Zionists. The Board of Deputies urged governments to pressure harboring nations to liquidate terrorist groups. Sieff, 68, remained in satisfactory condition after surgery, eating chicken soup in hospital. Police linked Heathrow arrests to the Belfast kidnapping of Thomas Neidermeyer of Grundig. Initial IRA blame cooled as no word from the group emerged.
