Robert E. Williams, 37, a Long Beach parolee, was denied a habeas writ seeking review of two murder convictions. Judge Elsworth M. Beam ruled the writ had no legal foundation and found the eight claimed errors already addressed in prior appeals.

Ford seeks Portugal review by NATO as ally question grows
President Ford told five foreign correspondents at the White House he will urge Atlantic alliance leaders to consider expelling Portugal if Marxists lead the Lisbon government. He warned a Communist element in NATO contradicts the alliance’s purpose while noting no call to remove Portugal yet. He linked strong Mayaguez action to alliance resolve and discussed detente, Vietnam, and Britain’s EEC role. Spain’s Mediterranean position could expand NATO relevance, though inclusion in the alliance remains undecided.
