Kissinger progress reported
in defusing tense Suez faceoff

TEL AVIV (AP) - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's meetings with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat have given him fresh hopes of "crystallizing" an Egyptian-Israeli pact on disengagement of forces on the tense Suez Canal front within a week.

The U.S. official who reported this Saturday stressed, however, that the critical period begins with the visit to Israel and Sadat's reaction to what Premier Golda Meir's cabinet produces. At the same time, he rejected any suggestion that Kissinger was applying pressure to the Israelis.

The official, who declined to be identified, said Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy between Egypt and Israel was moving from a "feeling-out process" to concrete elements of a disengagement plan.

He said the trip to Israel is expected to produce either a specific disengagement proposal from the Israeli cabinet or at least "concrete ideas."

Kissinger would carry these ideas back to Sadat at Aswan. If the Egyptian president approves, a proposal could be drafted and submitted to the Geneva peace conference – now in recess – within a week. If Sadat wants a change Kissinger would return to Jerusalem.

In any event, the U.S. official said differences between Israel and Egypt appear to be narrowing, although there obviously will be "serious differences" in later negotiations.

Segments of the Egyptian press have been charging American "trickery," but the official said Kissinger had not heard one word from Sadat in their 4½ hours of meetings over two days to question U.S. motives.

As Kissinger was winding up his talks with Sadat earlier in the day at the Nile River resort town of Aswan, the U.N. Emergency Force in Cairo reported Israeli forces on the west bank of the canal prevented convoys of non-military

supplies from reaching civilians in Suez City and elements of the Egyptian 3rd Army.

It said the action occurred Friday after Egyptian forces opened fire near the canal city of Ismailia, some 45 miles north of Suez City.

And at the United Nations in New York, Secretary General Kurt Waldheim told the Security Council in a report the Egyptian-Israeli cease-fire sector was "unstable and potentially explosive," and that the U.N. Emergency Force was having trouble interposing its units between the two sides.

Kissinger shook hands with Foreign Minister Abba Eban and U.S. Ambassador Kenneth Keating as he arrived in Tel Aviv, then told newsmen on the tarmac, "I look forward to full, frank and useful talks with the Israeli foreign minister and all my Israeli friends."

Boarding an Israeli helicopter gunship, the secretary flew to Jerusalem where he

was to hold a working dinner at his hotel. American officials aboard his plane said Mrs. Meir would be prevented from attending the session by a case of shingles, but Kissinger hoped to meet her on Sunday.

Attending the dinner were Eban, Deputy Premier Yigal Allon and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, who was in Washington last week for consultations with the secretary on Israeli ideas for troop disengagement.

Actually, Kissinger may emerge with both a disengagement proposal involving an Israeli pullback and a military defusing of the east bank of the canal, as well as a statement of principles to link disengagement with subsequent negotiations about Israel's final borders and wholesale return of occupied Arab territories.

The Geneva peace conference itself is in suspension for Kissinger's mission, his third swing through the Middle East since the October war.

IN ANY EVENT, THE U.S. OFFICIAL SAID DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND EGYPT APPEAR TO BE NARROWING, ALTHOUGH THERE OBVIOUSLY WILL BE "SERIOUS DIFFERENCES" IN LATER NEGOTIATIONS. AND WHILE SEGMENTS OF THE EGYPTIAN PRESS HAVE BEEN CHARGING MERICAN "TRICKERY," HE SAID KISSINGER HAD NOT HARD ONE WORD FROM SADAT IN THEIR 4 1-2 HOURS OF MEETINGS OVER TWO DAYS TO QUESTION U.S. MOTIVES.

THIS OFFICIAL, WHO DECLINED TO BE IDENTIFIED, SAID KISSINGER'S SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY BETWEEN EGYPT AND ISRAEL WAS MOVING FROM A "FEELING OUT PROCESS" TO CONCRETE ELEMENTS OF A DISENGAGEMENT PLAN.

THE OFFICIAL SAID KISSINGER'S MEETINGS WITH SADAT GAVE HIM FRESH HOPE THAT A DISENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT COULD BE "CRYSTALLIZED" WITHIN A WEEK.

Kissinger's Quest

It isn't described that way in official statements, but it looks as though Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has departed once again for the Middle East in search of a quick-fix — or at least a quick-as-possible-fix — of the shaky Israeli-Egyptian truce.

There's an element of urgency about the trip, prompted no doubt by the fragility of the cease-fire agreement signed at the end of October. The truce between the interlocked armies is violated daily, with casualties on both sides; the main reason why it has not broken down altogether is simply that neither side can be sure if it holds the advantage. But in any event, a full-scale resumption of the fighting would surely result in heavy casualties and the possible annihilation of the Egyptian Third Army, which is not an agreeable prospect for either Israelis or Egyptians.

It is reasonable to hope, therefore, that Kissinger will succeed in his short-range goal of bringing about a separation of the two armies. The Israeli proposal is reportedly a withdrawal of some 18 miles from its present position to the Mitla and Gidi passes in the Sinai highlands. This would be accompanied by a thinning out of Egyptian forces east of the Suez Canal and the establishment of a string of

United Nations observer posts between the two forces.

If it can be pulled off, it would be a significant achievement. Kissinger himself is not particularly hopeful that his visits to Cairo and Jerusalem will result in an immediate agreement on withdrawal. The more probable result, he says, is an exchange of proposals between the Israelis and Egyptians, followed by further negotiations between the two sides at Geneva. The problem in the past, of course, has been that no genuine negotiations have taken place, and the services of a high-level messenger-boy — in this case the American secretary of State — has become essential.

But even if it can be pulled off — and this is still uncertain — it will be only the first, very tentative step toward an overall settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict and real peace in the Middle East. There is not even a common definition of what real peace implies, except for an end to killing. The Israelis insist on full participation as members of the Middle East community. The Arabs to this point offer little more than an adamant demand for return of all occupied Arab territories. One suspects that Kissinger will spend quite a bit of time in the area over the months to come.

fect and who authorized it. The plaintiffs have been trying to obtain "all books, records, documents, tapes, logs, memoranda and other tangible writings" relating to the surveillance.

AMONGTHE government's papers in the case are affidavits from two former attorneys general, John N. Mitchell and Richard Kleindienst, admitting that the plaintiffs were overheard on wiretaps being conducted "to gather foreign intelligence information concerning domestic organizations which seek to use force and other unlawful means to attack and subvert the existing structure of the government."

Thomas Foran, the U.S. attorney who was conducting the Chicago trial, stated in the court papers that the recording of conversations was "expressly authorized by the attorney general (then Mitchell) to gather intelligence information deemed vital to the national security."

The suit, filed by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys, attacked the constitutionality of the Justice Department's then-current theory that it could conduct electronic surveillance of domestic groups without court approval on grounds of national security.

Sextuplets Given
A Good Chance

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Doctors have predicted a good chance of survival for three boys and three girls born yesterday to a 25-year-old woman.

The sextuplets are spending the critical first 40 hours of life in incubators, handled as little as possible and fed intravenously.

The babies were delivered by Caesarian section to Susan Rosenkowitz, who took fertility drugs before conception and afterwards was given muscle-relaxing medicine to prevent early delivery.

Sextuplets are often born after only 32 weeks' gestation. With the drug orciprinaline, Mrs. Rosenkowitz had a full nine-month pregnancy. She spent the last two months in bed.

Doctors said the babies were well formed but one was much smaller than the rest. Their weight ranged from 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 pounds.

Mrs. Rosenkowitz and her businessman husband, Colin, also have a 6-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son.

The use of hormone fertility drugs has led to several multiple births in recent years. Without the drugs, the odds against sextuplets are about eight billion to one, but there have been at least three recorded cases since 1968.

A 1972 Supreme Court ruling stated, however, that

# Hopes Rise for Suez Deal

United Press International

U.S. officials said today Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger was guardedly optimistic that a new round of crisis talks with Egyptian and Israeli leaders would speed agreement on withdrawal of troops near the Suez Canal.

Kissinger met last night with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and went into a second round of talks with him today at Sadat's villa in Aswan.

Kissinger planned a series of weekend meetings in Egypt and Israel in an effort to save the faltering Middle East peace conference in Geneva, where generals from both sides have been unable to agree on a concrete withdrawal formula.

AFTER HIS talks with Sadat today he planned to meet Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in Jerusalem, then return to Aswan — where Sadat is recuperating from bronchitis — for more talks with the Egyptians.

"I came here to exchange ideas with our Egyptian friends and we will make a major effort to make a big step forward on the road toward peace in the Middle East," Kissinger said on arrival in Aswan.

Egyptian sources said Kissinger brought a detailed plan from Washington to end the stalemate. U.S. officials said they were guardedly optimistic of success.

American officials travel-

ing with Kissinger expressed concern, however, over speculation in the Egyptian press that Kissinger's visit is aimed at persuading Egypt to accept a "partial solution" of its grievances.

EGYPT'S leading commentator, Mohamed Hassané Heikal, editor of the semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram, indicated yesterday that Sadat will reject the disengagement plan carried

by Kissinger because it would "breach Arab unity" and "sow discord between the Arabs and the Soviet Union..."

It was not known what plan Kissinger brought to Cairo.

Government sources in Tel Aviv have indicated that Israel's proposal calls for a five-point plan for a thinning out of Egyptian forces in Sinai and an 18-mile pullback of Israeli

forces from the canal. The plan also is said to call for reopening the canal to commercial traffic.

Even as talks between Kissinger and Sadat were going on Friday night in the Egyptian president's retreat here overlooking the Nile, there were reports of intermittent artillery and tank fire along the Suez front.

said Egyptian and Israeli troops fought tank, artillery and mortar duels on both the Egyptian and Syrian fronts, wounding two Israeli soldiers.

Kissinger spent an hour and a half with Sadat last night immediately after arriving from Washington. U.S. officials said the discussion was on substantive issues and was conducted in a "very friendly and cordial" atmosphere.

After a brief tour of the Aswan high dam spanning the Nile River and the relics of Ancient Egypt preserved there, Kissinger planned to meet with Sadat for a second time before leaving for Israel.

Kissinger flew to Egypt from Madrid, where he met Spain's new foreign minister, Pedro Cortina. In Madrid, Kissinger announced that Spain and the United States would begin writing "a joint declaration of principles" in about two weeks to strengthen the two nations' relations. Sources expected talks about U.S. bases in Spain to continue for some time after agreement on the declaration.

KISSINGER HOPING
TO SPEED ACCORD

NY Times 1-12-74
Begins Talks With Sadat in

Bid to 'Grease Wheels'
for Geneva Agreement

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN
Special to The New York Times

ASWAN, Egypt, Jan. 11—Secretary of State Kissinger arrived here tonight on his latest mission to the Middle East hoping to persuade Egypt and Israel to agree to some general principles for negotiating an accord on separating their forces near the Suez Canal.

"I come here to exchange ideas with our Egyptian friends and to make a big step toward the road to peace," he told the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ismail Fahmy.

Mr. Kissinger went immediately from the military airport where his Air Force 707 landed to visit President Anwar el-Sadat at his residence here.

'Serious Conversation'

The visit had been described as "a courtesy call," but the two men discussed the disengagement talks and the Geneva peace conference for an hour and a half. Mr. Kissinger said later that it was the start of a "serious conversation" that will resume tomorrow after he visits the Aswan High Dam, built with Soviet aid.

Mr. Saddat greeted Mr. Kissinger by saying in front of photographers: "We welcome the Secretary of State as a friend."

Following talks with Mr. Sadat, Mr. Kissinger will fly to Israel tomorrow afternoon for discussion on resolving the disengagement issue with Israeli leaders. He was uncertain whether he would be able to spend much time with Premier Golda Meir, who is suffering from shingles, a senior American official said.

Mr. Kissinger flew to Aswan rather than Cairo for the meet-

Sadat Greets
Kissinger on
Eve of Talks

By Marilyn Berger

Washington Post Staff Writer

ASWAN, Jan. 11 — U. S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger arrived here tonight in an effort to speed a disengagement of forces along the Suez Canal.

He went immediately to pay a courtesy call on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Although Kissinger meant to leave the major portion of the negotiations for Saturday, the two men met privately for an hour and a half. The Secretary later called the meeting useful and constructive.

Despite signs of growing impatience in Egypt with the failure to get an agreement, and continuing outbreaks of hostilities, reporters traveling with Kissinger were told that the secretary is confident that, after more than two months, Egypt and Israel are finally developing approaches that are in the same "ballpark."

But senior officials on Kissinger's plane conceded that, when it gets down to the specifics of maps and force-levels, the two may still differ so radically as to make it impossible for them to agree.

Sadat told a reporter who questioned him last night that he, too, was optimistic about prospects of a settlement.

Sources in Egypt said that what essentially remains to be done is to get declarations of intention from each side. Egypt wants Israel to give assurances that an initial disengagement would be only the first step toward a full settlement. Israel is seeking a pledge of Egyptian nonbelligerency.

This presents a problem for Cairo, which cannot appear to have renounced the battle with Israel, while Syria and Jordan still have no settlements of their own.

As Kissinger flew toward Egypt he received word that Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir is ill with the shingles. It was feared that this could complicate the negotiations. Since Israel is still trying to form a Cabinet after its recent election, it is considered essential that Kissinger see Mrs.

# Kissinger Reports Gains In Panama Canal Talks

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—Secretary of State Kissinger said today that the United States and Panama had made "substantial progress" toward a "statement of principles" on their negotiations on a new treaty regulating the American-owned Panama Canal.

A United States official said the statement of principles, if adopted, would serve as "instructions to the negotiators of the new treaty." He said this technique was adopted after troublesome experience in attempting to enter negotiations directly with Panama in the past.

At a news conference, Mr. Kissinger reported on a preliminary agreement reached between Ambassador at Large Ellworth Bunker and Panama's Foreign Minister, Juan Antonio Tack, earlier in the week. Mr. Bunker returned to Washington yesterday.

The Bunker-Tack agreement was described by a knowledgeable United States official as "a very important step" toward negotiation of a new pact to replace the 1903 treaty that gave the United States control of the Panama Canal "in perpetuity"

The official emphasized, however, that the preliminary agreement required approval of many in the Panamanian and United States Governments and consultation with the United States Congress a well. Only then could the statement be adopted and issued a pre-

lude to actual negotiations of a new canal treaty, he said.

Mr. Kissinger said the preliminary agreement "reflected modifications on both sides."

Ambassador Bunker first met Mr. Tack Oct. 5 and since then they have conferred several times. The agreement, if accepted by both Governments, means Panama and the United States could resume treaty negotiations broken off in 1967, this time with a prospect of concluding them in a year or so, the official said.

If approval is forthcoming from the United States Departments of Defense, Commerce and Interior and other concerned government agencies, it is conceivable that the statement of principles would be issued before Mr. Kissinger visits Mexico City Feb. 21 to meet Latin-American foreign ministers.

In any case, the advance represented by the Bunker-Tack agreement tends to remove the Panama Canal issue from the perennial list of South American complaints against the United States.

The essence of the agreement is United States acceptance of the Panamanian view that a new treaty would somehow have to reflect the concept of the ultimate sovereignty of Panama over the 530-square-mile Canal Zone, the official said. This will be accomplished mainly by avoiding the use of the "in perpetuity" clause present in the 1903 treaty, he said.

WALDHEIM SEES
A GENEVA ACCORD

U.N. Chief Says Chances for
Pact on Forces Are Good

By KATHLEEN TELTSCH
Special to The New York Times

UNITED Nations N. Y., Jan 10 — Secretary General Waldheim declared today there was good chance for agreement on the disengagement of Egyptian and Israeli forces in the next few weeks. But he cautioned against expecting early progress on a broad peace settlement.

"After the first step," he said all the other aspects of the Middle East question will have to be dealt with. It will be a long and hard task, demanding courage, statesmanship and patience. I have no illusions as to the difficulties, but I believe all the parties are determined to succeed."

Mr. Waldheim said he was maintaining close contact with all the participants at the Geneva peace conference, at which he presided during its opening days in December. He talked yesterday with Secretary of State Kissinger.

Other Optimistic

Like Mr. Waldheim, diplomats and affificals here seem optimistic about reaching an early agreement on disengagement, although Egypt and Israel both seem intent on stressin the obstaoles.

KISSINGER - POW

ASWAN, EGYPT (AP)-A HIGH AMERICAN OFFICIAL FRIDAY SAID THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN APPEALING PERIODICALLY TO THE SOVIET UNION TO DELIVER ON THE PROMISE TO HELP WIN THE RELEASE OF ISRAELI POWS IN SYRIA.

THE OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE POW ISSUE REMAINED A MAJOR IMPEDEMENT TO A MIDDLE EAST PEACE SETTLEMENT AND THAT IT GOES TO THE HEART OF U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE HENRY KISSINGER'S CREDIBILITY WITH THE ISRAELI.

SOVIET COMMUNIST PARTY SECRETARY LEONID I. BREZHNEV PROMISED KISSINGER IN MOSCOW DURING THE OCTOBER WAR THAT HE WOULD MAKE A "MAXIMUM EFFORT" WITH THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT, THE OFFICIAL SAID. WHILE A PRISONER RELEASE REMAINED A MAJOR ISRAELI OBJECTIVE, DAMASCUS REFUSES EVEN TO EXCHANGE LISTS.

THE CONTINUED U.S. APPEAL TO MOSCOW IMPLIES THAT THE SOVIETS MAY NOT BE LIVING UP TO BREZHNEV'S PROMISE. HOWEVER, ANOTHER AMERICAN OFFICIAL WHO FLEW HERE WITH KISSINGER TO SEE EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT ANWAR SADAT SAID THE KEY TO THE PROBLEM IS SYRIAN INTRANSIGENCE.

THE SYRIANS REFUSED TO YIELD UNTIL THE ISRAELIS GIVE UP ALL THE TERRITORIES OCCUPIED DURING THE 1967 AND OCTOBER 1973 WARS.

THE OFFICIAL SAID THE ALTHOUGH KISSINGER RELAYED BREZHNEV'S PROMISE TO PRIME MINISTER GOLDA MEIR, THE PROMISE WAS NEVER A PRE-CONDITION FOR ISRAELI ACCEPTANCE OF A CEASE-FIRE. IN FACT, THEY SAID THE ISRAELI CABINET HAD AGREED TO THE CEASE-FIRE BEFORE KISSINGER ARRIVED IN TEL AVIV FROM MOSCOW ON HIS FIRST MIDDLE EAST TRIP LAST OCTOBER. (END)

Kissinger Urges Restraint During Energy Crisis

MIDEAST, From A1

Madrid for about two hours today to refuel his plane and confer with Spanish Foreign Minister Pedro Cortina.

Kissinger declined to discuss the specifics of proposals to separate the Egyptian and Israeli forces from their positions at the end of the October war.

According to the Associated Press in London, Israel proposes withdrawal of all of its forces on both sides of the Suez Canal to a line 12½ to 18 miles eastward of the canal, just short of the Mitla and Gidi passes; Egyptian forces on the east bank of the canal would be thinned out to token proportions; the intervening Sinai territory would be demilitarized with a string of United Nations observation posts between opposing forces, and the Suez Canal would be cleared and reopened.

Kissinger said that on his trip he will try to see if "general ideas" can be transformed "into a concrete proposal," as he moves between Egypt and Israel. He said that "if the Israeli cabinet decides after my first trip there to make a proposal, we would be prepared to take it to Egypt" on a return meeting with Saarat.

The "more likely outcome," said Kissinger, is that there will be no immediate agreement "but that there would be a negotiation" between Egypt and Israel "conducted at Geneva."

Even in that event, however, it appears most probable to diplomatic observers that the essence of the agreement, if there is to be one, will have to be worked out through Kissinger as intermediary, with the final formalities reserved for Geneva.

The State Department and Israeli foreign ministry sources both denied a report published in the Beirut newspaper Al Sharq that Kissinger hastened his departure for the Middle East this time after receiving reports that a new Egyptian attack on Israeli forces was imminent. The cease-fire, however, continues to be tenuous, with Israel reporting yesterday that two of its soldiers were killed and five wounded by Egyptian gunfire.

Publication yesterday of the texts of President Nixon's messages to foreign leaders added some clarification to the administration's concept of how to grapple with the long-range world energy problem. But the administration's plans are still quite hazy, even officials concede.

Kissinger acknowledged yesterday that there are some problems for which "we frankly haven't even the beginning of an answer" and "we do not believe that we alone have the obligation to come up with all of the answers."

To start the process, President Nixon has invited to Washington for a meeting on or about Feb. 11, the foreign ministers of Great Britain, Italy, France, Japan, West Germany, Canada, Norway and the Netherlands. They are all major oil-consuming nations.

Within 90 days afterward, the President said, there will be a meeting of representatives of both consumer and oil producing nations. In his letter to heads of 13 oil-producing nations, the President said, "Severe disruptions of economic activity and of the world monetary system, whether caused by insufficiency of energy supplies or abrupt price movements could prove disastrous for consumers and producers alike."

In between these two sets of conferences, Kissinger said, the United States will have discussions with underdeveloped nations and other consuming nations.

This timetable would indicate that the Nixon administration believes, or hopes, that by Feb. 11, or at least when it comes time to sit down with Arab oil producing nations, the Arab-Israeli conflict will be assauged by negotiations.

At the projected Feb. 11 conference, Kissinger said, participants would discuss, among other issues, alternative sources of energy, the pooling of research and development, "and attempts to share between the major consuming countries the energy sources that become available as a result of these efforts." Kissinger said working groups may be named for these and other problems.

Kissinger was asked why he believes a nation like France "has any interest at all" in the Feb. 11 conference, since France has "already taken care of" its oil requirements, through a new deal with Saudi Arabia. Britain also is racing for a new bilateral oil agreement with Saudi Arabia.

France has arranged only "for a small part of its needs on a bilateral basis," said Kissinger, and other nations no doubt may do the same. But "those who may steal a march on some others on a tempo-

rary basis by making this or that deal," said Kissinger, cannot escape the total problem.

The United States is "in the best position of any consuming country to engage in bilateral efforts on our own," said Kissinger, with its resources and its technology. Simon noted that the United States is "85 per cent self-sufficient in energy" and "that other 15 per cent is going to be achieved over the next decade to decade-and-a-half." Kissinger said that "As the United States achieves self-sufficiency in energy," it is prepared "to discuss sharing our energy sources...

"Nevertheless," said Kissinger, "we believe that unrestricted bilateral competition will be ruinous for all of the countries concerned, and that the seeming victories that can be achieved will be at the cost of world stability and of the world economy."

In response to grumbles from Europe over U.S. failure to invite all nine Common Market countries to the Washington conference, Kissinger said, "We will leave it to the (European) community to decide the form of its participation" if it wishes.

Kissinger said in London on Dec. 12 in proposing an energy action group, that "producing nations should be invited to join it from the very beginning" to underscore that no 'confrontation' is sought between producing and consuming nations. But yesterday he

said, "It was always the President's intention to follow the sequence that we are now proposing," and Kissinger's original proposal avoided details.

In an example of the approach the Nixon administration is taking to reinforce its relations with Arab nations, the Export-Import Bank yesterday authorized a loan and financial guarantees up to $100 million to construct an American-built oil pipeline in Egypt.

Rep. Thomas M. Rees (D-Calif.), a member of the House Banking Committee, earlier yesterday protested such an arrangement at this time, which he said "would give the Middle East producers even more leverage than they now have in their stranglehold on the industrial oil-consuming nations of the world."

U.S. officials, however, counter that the loan and guarantee will support a sale of up to $200 million of U.S. goods and services, with the Bechtel Corp of San Francisco holding primary responsibility for design and construction of the pipeline. The line will run from the Gulf of Suez to a point near Alexandria, and will be owned and operated by the Suez-Mediterranean Petroleum Pipeline Corp. Egypt controls 50 per cent of the corporation, and the remainder is controlled by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and Qatar.

Pressed for the significance of it, then, Wilson said only: "I will not comment on my no comment."

Ehrlichman is now living in Seattle and is scheduled to return today. However, his West Coast lawyer, Ball, is not expected to return to California, according to his office there, until Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—Secretary of State Kissinger today urged all countries—producers and consumers of oil alike—to work for long-term multinational agreement to solve the energy shortage, rather than seeking short-term advantages in country-by-country deals.

No date for the joint session of producing and consuming nations was mentioned in Mr. Nixon's letter of invitation to the countries, but Secretary Kissinger indicated that he hoped the meeting could take place within 90 days of the first one.

Mr. Kissinger said his trip to the Middle East tonight was being undertaken "to see whether we can transform general ideas into a concrete proposal" for disengaging Egyptian and Israeli troops along the Suez Canal.

of blocking some Thal agricultural exports to Japan.

Today's meeting between the students and Premier Tanaka was unusual in that foreign heads of Government rarely go out of normal political and diplomatic channels during state visits. Nor did the meeting seem to resolve much.

It took place in the 19th-century European-style Government House, the office of the Thai Premier. Mr. Tanaka came down from his conversation with Mr. Sanya at 12:45 P.M. and went directly into the meeting with the students in a reception room jammed with blush lavender and blue chairs.

The students opened by inserting into their prepared

paper a statement: "We apologize for any disturbing happenings, but there were so many Thais who did not believe that you were sincere in your past statements." That referred to the demonstrations yesterday.

The hour-and-a-half conversation, conducted through translators, proceeded calmly, according to one of those in the room. One student said afterward that Mr. Tanaka tried to push the questions away. He said that what the students wanted to know was what Japan could do for Thais. "His answer," the student said, "was that you must do it for yourselves."

"We asked direct questions," said another student, "but Mr. Tanaka dodged around, which showed that he was not ready to solve the problems." But another student said that Mr. Tanaka was willing to answer every question put to him.

Asked who did the most talking, Mr. Sombat, the tall, slight Thai student leader, sighed: "We asked very short questions."

GENEVA, Jan. 9—Israeli and Egyptian generals today suspended their deadlocked military talks for six days to allow time for their Governments to make new political decisions.

The bargaining here over the first step toward a settlement in the Middle East thus moves back to Cairo, Jerusalem, Washington and Moscow.

The recess in the talks, which began just after Christmas, will give the United States and the Soviet Union an opportunity to nudge the parties closer to agreement. Secretary of State Kissinger will leave for a new visit to Egypt and Israel tomorrow and the Soviet leaders will be consulting in Moscow over the weekend with the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ismail Fahmy.

Diplomats had said today that the Israeli delegation had not yet put forward the plan for the disengagement of Israeli

Kissinger Off to Mideast
Tonight—Nixon Calls
Session on Energy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 —

Secretary of State Kissinger leaves tomorrow night for talks in Egypt and Israel to help bring about an agreement for the separation of Israeli and Egyptian forces near the Suez Canal.

The White House, announcing this today at Laguna Beach, Calif., near the Western White House, also said that President Nixon had invited the Foreign Ministers of Canada, Japan, and six European countries to attend a conference in Washington on Feb. 11 to establish "an action program" for international energy problems.

Messages from Mr. Nixon were also sent to 13 oil-producing nations in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and Asia, inviting them to join in discussions with the oil consumers at a later date.

# Kissinger Leaving Tonight for Visit to Egypt and Israel

Continued From Page 1, Col. 2

Simon, the director of the Federal Energy Office, will discuss plans for the energy conference at a news conference tomorrow afternoon, before Mr. Kissinger's scheduled departure for Egypt at midnight.

George S. Vest, the State Department spokesman, said in Washington that Mr. Kissinger planned to discuss with President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt the Israeli ideas on how to carry out disengagement of forces, and then fly to Israel for talks with Premier Golda Meir and other high Israeli officials on Mr. Sadat's response.

"We've had Israeli ideas," Mr. Vest said, referring to Mr. Kissinger's talks in Washington last weekend with Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. "These are ideas that both sides will want to ponder. And we hope in this way that they could crystalize into a proposal that could then be usefully advanced in Geneva."

The disengagement talks have been the first order of business at the Geneva peace conference. But according to Mr. Kissinger last Saturday, no concrete plan has yet been put forward to bring about the separation of forces, only some general ideas.

## Trip of Less Than a Week

Neither Mr. Vest, nor the White House spokesman, Gerald L. Warren, gave Mr. Kissinger's itinerary. But Mr. Vest said he thought Mr. Kissinger would be gone for "less than a week."

Mr. Vest said there was no plan for Mr. Kissinger to go from the Middle East to Geneva where the disengagement talks

have been suspended until Tuesday, but he would not rule out such a possibility.

State Department officials have said previously that if Egypt and Israel could agree on a plan for separating their forces, Mr. Kissinger might attend a session at geneva to ratify the first-step accord along with the Foreign Ministers of the Soviet Union, Israel, Egypt and Jordan. This would be followed by talks between Egypt and Israel toward a political settlement.

Mr. Kissinger has already sent to Cairo the latest Israeli ideas through Hermann F. Elits, the Ambassador-designate to Cairo, who participated on Saturday in the talks with Mr. Dayan in Washington before returning to the Egyptian capital.

## Kissinger Report Awaited

The Israelis have not yet come up with a formal proposal on disengagement and Israeli officials here said that Israel would not do so until after her Cabinet has a chance to hear Mr. Kissinger's report on Saturday night or Sunday.

Late this afternoon, Simcha Dinitz, the Israeli Ambassador here, met with Mr. Kissinger and issued a statement denying Israeli press reports that Israel had come up with a concrete proposal.

Mr. Dinitz said:

"While a wide area of understanding was reached in discussing the ideas for the separation of force, no definite proposal was submitted by Israel and no plan will be made concrete before the visit of the Secretary of State to Israel. We hope the visit of the Secretary will contribute toward formulating such a proposal."

State Department officials

said that it was likely that Mr. Kissinger would be able to work out an acceptable formula, and for that reason, he is talking with him on the trip, in addition to the key Middle East specialists, Carlyle E. Maw, the department's legal adviser. Mr. Maw would be involved in the drafting of final language, making sure that there were no loopholes.

Accompanying Mr. Kissinger will be Joseph J. Sisco, who has been nominated as Under Secretary for Political affairs, Alfred L. Atherton, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, and Harold H. Saunders of the National Security council.

Ellsworth Bunker, Ambassador at Large, who is the permanent American representative at the Geneva talks, will also be aboard Mr. Kissinger's Air Force 707 jet. Mr. Bunker has just returned from Panama where he is negotiating a new PanamabCanal treaty.

The meeting between Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Sadat will take place about 400 miles south of Cairo, at Aswan, site of the

high dam, built by the Soviet Union.

It is not known whether Mr. Kissinger's plane will fly to Cairo or directly to Aswan.

The Israelis have talked of withdrawing their troops about 20 miles from the canal, but have asked that Egyptian forces on the eastern bank of the canal cut back on the number of tanks and artillery there. A United Nations force would serve as a buffer.

The Egyptians have insisted that along with the disengagement, Israel agree to a total withdrawal in phases from occupied land. The Israelis have pressed for an Egyptian commitment to peace.

The White House said that Mr. Nixon had invited the following countries to send their Foreign Ministers to Washington for the Feb. 11 conference on energy problems: Canada, Japan, Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Norway.

The first move by the envoy, Clovis Maksoud, was a press conference at the Washington headquarters of the Arab organization, where he assured newsmen that the three-month oil embargo against the United States was only a "temporary" feature of Arab diplomacy.

Kissinger flying
to Egypt for talks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger will fly to Egypt at midnight Thursday to discuss with President Anwar Sadat proposals by Israel for a military disengagement near the Suez Canal.

The trip, announced by the Western White House at San Clemente, Calif., also will take Kissinger to Israel to see Premier Golda Meir. It will be his third visit to the Middle East since the October War.

At the Geneva peace conference Egyptian and Israeli military negotiators are marking time pending new high-level decisions. Their 90-minute meeting Wednesday was the shortest of six sessions over the past two weeks.

The White House said Kissinger is being sent to Egypt and Israel by President Nixon "in order to assist the parties in the negotiations on the question of

separation and disengagement" of their forces.

Israeli defense minister Moshe Dayan outlined Israel's views in meetings with Kissinger at the State Department last Friday and Saturday. Dayan said afterward his country is ready "to take the first step" toward peace with Egypt by reaching an accord on the separation of their troops. He said his government would be ready to offer a concrete proposal after the cabinet received his report.

Kissinger will meet with Sadat at Aswan, the southern city on the Nile where the Soviets built a dam for the Egyptians.

Kissinger's travel plans call for him to fly directly to Aswan, then to Jerusalem

The financing varied. Some states managed with unpaid volunteers; others said they would spend millions.

The Federal Energy Office, headed by administrator William E. Simon, is operating on a sort of temporary budget that thus far has been well under $10 million. Legislation is pending in Congress, however, to set up a far-reaching federal energy administration which would have a much bigger budget.

Most of the state agencies started out small and grew with the problem.

In Idaho, Gov. Cecil D. Andrus named one of the state's public utility commissioners, Robert Lenaghen, as an energy coordinator on a part-time basis. That was back when the energy crisis first surfaced.

Now, the Office of Energy Coordinator has a full-time staff of four, plus Lenaghen, primarily to deal with complaints about fuel shortages.

Last May, the Florida Legislature established the Florida Energy Committee, comprised of eight legislators and seven private citizens. In November, the committee told every state agency and school district to name its own fuel conservation committee.

Gov. Reubin Askew appointed a 26-member Fuel Allocation and Conservation Council to act in an advisory capacity. And the legislature set up a $25,000-a-year post of fuel allocation officer effective Jan. 1.

appointed teams of monitors at company plants to make sure things like unnecessary lights are turned off.

The recreational vehicle industry — concerned that the gasoline shortage may cut into business — announced the formation of an energy conservation committee to promote fuel-saving ideas and show that recreational vehicles “are not gluttonous consumers of precious gasoline.”

and again back to Aswan. He is expected
to return home Sunday night.

George S. Vest, the State De-
partment spokesman, was asked whether
the trip indicated a "monumental
impasse" in the disengagement
negotiations.

"No, it does not indicate a monumental impasse at all," he said. "It's only a logical follow-on."

Noting Dayan's visit, he said: "We
have: 9th graf A257

"We have had Israeli ideas, as you know. These are ideas that both sides will certainly want to ponder and it was hoped that in this way, we could help the process along, to crystalize into a proposal which could then usefully be advanced at Geneva."

Traveling with Kissinger will be Carlyle
Maw, the department's legal adviser, an
indication that a specific disengagement
proposal is in the offing. Kissinger also
will take along:

Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker; Joseph
J. Sisco, under secretary of state-
designate for political affairs; Alfred L.
Roy Atherton, deputy assistant secretary
of state for the Near East; other aides,
and a small group of newsmen.

The trip was coordinated with the Soviet
cochairman with the United States at
Geneva although "this is a U.S. trip," Vest
said. He stressed that with Israeli and
Egyptian forces intermingled near the
canal, "we felt this was an urgent mat-
ter."

The Israelis evidently are agreeable to
withdrawing at least 20 miles but are
seeking "mutual commitments," as

Dayan has put it, from Egypt.

These could include an opening of the
canal to Israeli shipment, a thinning out of
Egyptian forces on the east bank or a
demilitarization of much of the Sinai.
Inevitably, the discussions will include the
Arab oil squeeze, although Vest said "this
trip, in its precise sense, is not related to
the embargo itself."

Kissinger has taken a personal hand in
trying to work out a settlement, leaving
only details to the American ambassadors
in Cairo and Jerusalem and to other lesser
officials.

The Soviets, meanwhile, have deferred
to Washington's dominant role and its
"good offices."

Vest, like Kissinger, complimented the
Russians on their behavior in regard to
the negotiations. He said they have acted
responsibly and that "we have kept in
touch with them."

At the same time, it is not entirely clear
whether U.N. Secretary-General Kurt
Waldheim will have his role diminished.
The Israelis, all along, have favored direct
dealing with Egypt and their other Arab
neighbors.

Kissinger Going to Egypt and Israel

KISSINGER, From A1

Abba Eban has accepted the Kissinger role as a fact of life. He said in an interview with The New York Post: "A peace conference is an arena in which agreements reached outside its walls are ratified." The Geneva talks recessed yesterday for a week to permit high-level negotiations on disengagement.

Vest said Kissinger would have with him ideas which serve as "a prelude to a concrete proposal." He said: "We've had the Israeli ideas. These are ideas that both sides will want to ponder (and which) can crystallize into a proposal that could be usefully advanced at Geneva."

Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz met last evening with Kissinger and later told reporters that there had been no definite disengagement proposal submitted. He said: "No plan will be made concrete before the visit of the secretary . . . to Israel. We hope that the visit . . . will contribute toward formulating such a proposal." Dinitz said a "wide area of understanding was reached in discussing the ideas for the separation of forces."

Israel is understood to be prepared to pull back its forces from positions on the West Bank of the Suez Canal and some distance from the East Bank to the Gidi and Mitla passes. In return the Israelis are asking for a thinning out of Egyptian forces and the re-

opening of the Suez Canal. A peacekeeping force would be interposed between the Egyptian and Israeli troops.

In talks with Dayan, Kissinger is said to have told the Israelis which parts of the plan he believed would be acceptable and which would not. At an earlier stage officials had said Kissinger would return to the Middle East only if there were a monumental impasse in

the discussions. But Vest said yesterday there was no such roadblock in the negotiations at this time. U.S. officials said progress had been made in the discussions with Dayan and that the next step was to get a "concrete proposal."

It is understood that a remaining problem is the size and strength of the Egyptian force that is to remain on the East Bank of the Canal. The Israelis see the first stage of disengagement as a test of Egyptian readiness to make a durable settlement.

From Cairo, correspondent William Dullforce reported that the Egyptians were becoming impatient with the

lack of progress in the Geneva talks. Egypt has taken the position that any concessions in return for an Israeli pullback should be discussed in connection with a final settlement and not in the first stage of disengagement, Dullforce said.

Kissinger is to go directly to Aswan, where Sadat is recuperating from an attack of bronchitis. The Aswan Dam was built by the Soviet Union when in 1956 John Foster Dulles withdrew the U.S. offer of financial assistance.

Although Kissinger is now scheduled to go only to Egypt and Israel, Vest would not rule out other stops.

Nixon Plans Oil Conference

By Lou Cannon

Washington Post Staff Writer

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. Jan. 8—The White House confirmed today that President Nixon is considering a high level Washington meeting of the leading industrialized non-Communist nations to discuss long-range oil supply questions.

However, White House spokesman Gerald L. Warren said that an Associated Press report out of Brussels declaring that invitations have been issued to such a meeting was "speculative." Warren said that various proposals are under consideration.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said at a San Clemente news conference last week that the President would take the lead in promoting concerted action of about 20 nations, including both oil-producing and oil-consuming nations, to deal with long-range energy problems. Kissinger said the oil-producing countries had an interest in stabilizing oil supplies and prices in order to avert a worldwide depression.

Warren also announced a series of high-level diplomatic changes.

Joseph S. Sisco, the former

assistant secretary of state for near eastern and south Asian affairs, was named under secretary of state for political affairs, replacing William J. Porter.

Porter will be nominated as ambassador to Canada, replacing Adolph W. Schmidt, who is retiring.

[In Washington it was learned that George S. Springsteen will be named Executive Secretary of the State Department, replacing Thomas R. Pickering. Pickering a career officer, will be named director general of the Foreign Service.]

Warren also announced that Rep. William S. Maillard, a San Francisco Republican and veteran of 11 terms in the House, will be nominated as the U.S. Representative to the Organization of American States. He succeeds Joseph John Jova, who has been appointed ambassador to Mexico.

Maillard is one of several experienced GOP congressmen who have declined to seek re-election before an electorate troubled by Watergate, energy problems and the economy. In Maillard's case, his own re-election prospects were dampened by a court-ordered

reapportionment that reduced his percentage of Republican voters.

Sisco had planned to assume the presidency of Hamilton College in New York in the spring. But he said in a letter to Coleman Burker, chairman of the college's board of trustees, that this was "no longer a realistic timetable" because of developments in the Middle East, particularly the opening of the Geneva conference.

Warren said in announcing Sisco's appointment that the President and Kissinger, who recommended it, believe that Sisco "has been an indispensable element of continuity in the U.S. policy as it relates to the Middle East." Sisco will continue to play an important role in Middle East policy-making, Warren said.

The conference of industrialized nations that Warren said was under consideration is part of an initiative first suggested last month by Kissinger in a London speech. The Secretary of State at that time called for an energy action group consisting of European nations, the United States and Japan.

Last week he broadened that idea to include the oil-producing nations. However, Kissinger was vague about de-

tails and it was believed here that a meeting of the oil-consuming countries might conceivably serve as a prelude to an expanded meeting or series of meetings.

On Monday, Henri Simonet, vice president in charge of energy for the Common Market, made a report to the group's 13-man executive commission on the possibility of an international meeting to discuss oil supplies. In the past the French have been reluctant to engage in such a meeting.

In other action today, Warren denied a wire service report of an impending reorganization in the Domestic Council and of a prospective White House makeup that would see presidential assistant Ronald L. Ziegler relinquish his title as press secretary. But Warren did say that Ken Cole Jr., director of the Domestic Council, would assume expanded duties when presidential controller Melvin R. Laird departs Feb. 1.

Mr. Nixon worked in the office of the Western White House today as heavy rains and high tides continued along the southern California coast. Warren said the President went for a three-hour private drive Monday with his friend, C. G. (Bebe) Rebozo.

White House on Milk

Summary

The Milk Price Decision

The Charge

It has been publicly alleged that
President Nixon in 1971, in exchange
for a promise of political contributions
from the dairy industry, ordered an
increase in the level of federal support
prices for milk. That charge has been
frequently denied and is totally false.

The Facts

On March 12, 1971, the Secretary of Agriculture announced that the price of milk for the 1971-72 marketing year would be supported by the federal government at approximately 80 per cent of parity. His announcement was made in the face of strong pressure from the dairy industry for a support level between 85 and 90 per cent of parity; the industry, along with its supporters in the Congress, argued that the 80 per cent level would lead to underproduction and would not represent a fair return on farm investments.

Subsequent to Secretary [Clifford] Hardin's announcement, there was a concerted effort in the Congress to pass legislation forcing the President to raise price supports to a minimum of 85 per cent of parity. In the House of Representatives, 125 members introduced or cosponsored legislation for higher support prices. In the Senate, 29 members introduced such legislation.

increased the costs of production for
dairy farmers, a continuation of the
$4.66 price meant that the parity rate
would actually fall to approximately 80
per cent. To the farmers, a drop in par-
ity rate would result in a possible loss
of income which in turn could deter
production. The farmers therefore ad-
vocated an increase in the price sup-
port to $5.21 per 100 pounds, or 90 per
cent of parity; at the very least, they
argued, the government should raise
the price to $4.92 per 100 pounds and
thereby maintain the current parity
rate of 85 per cent. At the Department
of Agriculture, it was feared that such
price increases might encourage excess
production on the farms, raise the
prices of dairy products for consumers,
and ultimately force the government
to purchase the surplus products.

The dairy industry, which had be-
come highly organized in the 1960s,
moved to exert maximum, direct pres-
sure on the Secretary of Agriculture in
early 1971. In a few weeks, over 13,000
letters from milk producers were re-
ceived by the Department of Agricul-
ture.

At the same time, the dairy industry
worked to achieve its objectives indi-
rectly through members of the Con-
gress who agreed with industry views.
The upper midwestern affiliate of the
Associated Milk Producers, Inc.
(AMPI) estimated that its members
alone sent some 50,000 letters to con-
gressmen on the subject of milk sup-
ports. Between February 23 and March
12, 1971, some 25 senators and 65 con-
gressmen wrote the Secretary of Agri-

‘Allegatio

Following is the statement issued yesterday by the White House on its release of papers relating to the "milk case" and the "ITT case":

For several months, there have
been repeated allegations that two
presidential actions in 1971—one rel-
ating to federal support prices for
milk and the other to antitrust ac-
tion against the International Tele-
phone and Telegraph Corporation—
were taken either in return for polit-
ical contributions or the promise of
such contributions. Both allegations,
given broad circulation, have been
repeatedly denied and are utterly
false.

Today the White House is issuing
separate papers on the milk case and
the ITT case. They support the Pres-
ident's previous statements that his
actions were totally proper.

With regard to milk supports, as
the paper indicates, the President's
action was based upon several fac-
tors—first and foremost, intensive
congressional pressure, generated in
part by the dairy interests; secondly,
the economic merits of the case
itself; and finally, traditional politi-
cal considerations relating to the
needs of the farm states. The eco-
nomic consequences of that milk de-
cision show it to have been in the no-

# Kissinger Said to Weigh
## New Trip to Middle East

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—State Department officials said today that Secretary of State Kissinger might soon visit the Middle East again to help work out an agreement between Egypt and Israel on separation of their forces along the Suez Canal.

The officials said that no final decision had been made about travel plans, but that Mr. Kissinger and his top aides were thinking seriously about a trip to Cairo and Jerusalem— and perhaps some other Middle East capitals—to seek to mediate differences over how to carry out troop disengagement and to provide a spur to the Geneva peace conference.

Meanwhile, there were these other Middle East developments:

¶Vice President Ford warned

in a Washington speech that Arab nations should realize that their curbs on oil supplies to the United States could damage American grain production, which in turn could mean that "some people in the world will hunger for bread." As a result, he said, oil consumers and producers must recognize "the commonality of our interests."

¶The White House said that President Nixon was thinking of inviting oil-consuming and oil-producing nations to a meeting in Washington for long-range energy questions, but that no invitations had actually been extended.

¶Mr. Nixon, in San Clemente, Calif., announced formally that Joseph J. Sisco, who had announced plans to resign as Assistant Secretary of State for

In addition, four veteran miners are said to have functioned as “advisers” to the authors by offering suggestions and criticisms on each chapter that were apparently incorporated into the text before the authors sat down in committee to compose some more.

Set in 1968-69, the novel tells the story of workers in an iron mine who unite to expose a “renegade” during the Cultural Revolution. The workers are trying to dig a tunnel, but the renegade, who has a position of authority, tries to sabotage their efforts.

One of the heroes thinks he knows who is behind the sabotage but does not tell anyone—except, of course, the party secretary of the metallurgical bureau. “One had to take a reasonable attitude when a man’s whole political future is at stake,” he reflects.

The crisis comes with a cave-in at the mine, which the villain tries to exploit, but the workers triumph over both the forces of nature and the counterrevolutionary forces. When spring comes the heroes “move on together to responsible posts

# Nixon Plans Shift In Advisory Staff

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) — President Nixon is planning another reorganization of his domestic policy making apparatus, administration sources say.

A major aim of the new Nixon staff plan is to sort out and define the responsibilities of Vice President Gerald R. Ford, who has been promised a major role, director Roy Ash of the Office of Management and Budget and Kenneth Cole, executive director of the Domestic Council.

The revamping was prompted by the imminent resignation of Melvin R. Laird, who was recruited by Nixon in June to serve a short-term appointment as chief domestic policy adviser following the Watergate-related resignation April 30 of John D. Ehrlichman.

Sources said Ash dis-

cussed the new setup with White House Chief of Staff Alexander M. Haig on Saturday, but returned to Washington Sunday night without seeing Nixon.

Another source said Kenneth W. Clawson, deputy director of communications for the executive branch, joined the presidential party here last week to discuss reorganization of the administration's public relations staff. There have been rumors that Ronald L. Ziegler might relinquish his title as press secretary and concentrate on other responsibilities.

Ziegler, Haig and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger are acknowledged to have the readiest access to the President. In fact, Nixon has spent little time with any other aides or officials since flying here Dec. 26.

Elected to the Knesset on
the Labor party list in 1965,

in the 1969 election and was
not invited to rejoin it this
year.

Gary Stocks of Sacramento, Calif., was expected to spend the rest of his life in a vegetable state after a robbery-beating in Chicago left him paralyzed and in a coma last September. But then he began to speak intermittently — in French, which he learned in college. As progress continued he even joked about his mental powers, saying he was "26 going on 9." Now doctors are calling his recovery unbelievable; he plans to return to Chicago and take up interrupted medical studies. "I still have a vague anger at being set back," he said.

NEW MIDEAST TRIP REPORTED

# Kissinger to Push Plan
On Suez Troop Pullback

United Press International

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger will fly to the Middle East in the next 10 days in an attempt to get Egypt and Israel to agree on a formula for separating their forces along the Suez Canal, Israeli newspapers said today.

The newspapers said the trip follows reports of differences between Israel and the United States over a troop pullback plan drafted by Tel Aviv.

In Geneva, Egyptian officials said Israel has yet to introduce its troop withdrawal proposal at the Middle East peace talks. They expressed hope the plan would be put forward when the conference resumes tomorrow for its sixth session.

ISRAELI Defense Minister Moshe Dyan introduced the Israeli plan, which calls for a major pullback of Israeli forces into the Sinai desert, during meetings with Kissinger in Washington over the weekend.

"Kissinger will visit Cairo and Jerusalem within the next 10 days and at the conclusion of these talks all foreign ministers will go to Geneva for a plenary meeting of the peace conference at ministerial level," the newspaper Davar said, quoting government sources.

The newspaper Ha'aretz said Kissinger apparently

had "come to the conclusion that he must personally put before the Arab rulers and especially (Egyptian President Anwar) Sadat the proposals that Defense Minister Moshe Dyan raised."

Ha'aretz also quoted sources as saying they expect Kissinger and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko of the Soviet Union to meet in Geneva sometime this month.

BRIG. GEN. Mordechai Gur of Israel and Brig. Gen. Taha Magdoub of Egypt met yesterday for more than two hours and then issued their briefest and least informative communique so far.

TIPTONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An earth tremor shook houses and rattled dishes in three Tennessee counties across the Mississippi from Cooter, Mo., authorities said.

An earthquake registering 4 on this scale can cause moderate damage.

say the "disengagement talks were continued" at the meeting. Statements after previous sessions told of "progress" and said the talks had reached an "important stage."

A high-ranking member of the Egyptian delegation said "there were no new proposals" at the latest bargaining session and the negotiators only discussed technicalities. Israeli officials declined to comment.

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan discussed details of the Israeli troop withdrawal plan with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger in Washington last weekend and said the proposal would be presented in Geneva.

The newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth said, however, Kissinger "requested greater Israeli flexibility" on "the depth of Israeli withdrawals in coming stages."

The newspaper Ma'ariv said "it will be possible to carry out the disengagement plan within several weeks" if Egypt declines to demand an Israeli commitment for a pullback from all occupied Arab territory.

The Glue That
Pried Loose by

United Press International

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has moved to halt distribution of at least 10 brands of a glue, developed originally for surgery, that is so strong it can cement the user's fingers together.

The glue, over 1 million tubes of which may be on the market, is known by the general name “cyano-acryloic” and is sold under perhaps 20 different brand names, the commission aid yesterday.

Consumers Union asked the agency to move against the glue because it said the super-stickiness could cause injuries to persons whose fingers became bonded together, requiring medical help to free them.

COMMISSION CHAIRMAN Richard O. Simpson told a news briefing that in the process of checking on the alleged hazard, the panel discovered that at least two brands of the glue — “Krazy Glue,” the top seller, and “Permabond 102” — did not carry required label warnings stating they can cause eye irritation.

A common home remedy for eye irritation, Simpson added, would be to wash the eye with water, but in the case of superglues, that will only cause the material to set.

The commission said it will hold a public hearing later to determine if the hazards mentioned by Consumers Union require action. Meanwhile it is telling

Kissinger Welcomes
Evan news 1/8/74
Australian Brass

United Press International

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger threw a welcoming party last night for Australian Defense Minister Lance Barnard and his wife.

The guest list of 56 read like a Who's Who of the Defense and State Departments.

Although the reception was officially hosted by Deputy Secretary Kenneth Rush, its primary purpose was to give Barnard the chance to meet socially with Kissinger and Schlesinger, the two men on whom the successful outcome of Barnard's negotiations this week will depend.

Among those gathered in the State Department's John Quincy Adams drawing rooms from the Pentagon were Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, Jr., and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Thomas H. Moorer and their wives.

State Department guests included Undersecretary for political Affairs William J. Porter, Assistant Secretary for East Asia and Pacific Affairs Robert S. Ingersoll and his deputies Arthur W. Hummel Jr. and Richard Sneider, U.S. Ambassador to Australia Marshall Green and their wives.

Among the Australians attending were Ambassador James Plimsoll and Defense Secretary Arthur Pange.

# Gravity of Geneva Talks

Considering what may be — and probably is — at stake in the developing negotiations in Geneva between Arabs and Israelis, this could be rated as one of the most critical diplomatic efforts of all time.

For what is at stake goes very far beyond the preoccupations and concerns of the countries directly involved, powerful as these concerns may be. For Israel, as always, the central issue is the survival of the Jewish state. For the Arabs, there are all the concerns over lost territories, displaced people, national pride and religious fervor that have kept the Middle East in a state of dangerous turmoil over a quarter-century.

But Israel and her Arab neighbors, after all, have managed one way or another to live with these problems over this period of time. If all of them are not solved over the coming weeks and months, the result may not be unmitigated tragedy. It may be that partial and improvised solutions are all that are possible at this point and that a sweeping general peace settlement in the Middle East will continue to elude the diplomats at Geneva for a long time to come.

The question quite simply is whether partial and improved solutions — such as the physical disengagement of Israeli and Egyptian forces which is now under discussion — will be enough to avert the tragedy that confronts many people and nations who are not directly concerned with the Arab-Israeli conflict. For the stake of Japan and Western Europe in what can be accomplished at

Geneva is hardly less impressive, and may be considerably more urgent than that of the Arabs and Israelis themselves.

What these nations are confronted with is nothing less than economic catastrophe in the face of a continued Arab oil boycott. And the Arab leaders have made it abundantly clear that what happens in Geneva will determine whether or not this boycott is continued or lifted, intensified or relaxed.

One can hardly doubt the determination of the Arab leaders in this matter. Saudi Arabia's King Feisal may say that, so far as he is concerned, he has no desire that the industrialized nations of the world should be "crushed and terminated." But there is a very clear implication that he believes he has both the power and adequate justification to do exactly that if the talks in Geneva do not go according to his liking.

For the moment at least the probability that the talks will go according too King Feisal's liking cannot be rated as very brilliant. Both the course of the preliminary negotiations and the outcome of the recent Israeli elections suggest that it will be a long time — if ever — before some of the king's most vital interests are even dealt with, much less satisfied.

Topping the list of these interests, of course, is the future status of East Jerusalem for which the king, as the religious leader of Islam, takes a very personal responsibility. His position on Jerusalem, quite unequivocally, is that Israel has no rights whatever in

the Arab part of the city occupied in the course of the 1967 war. The position of the Israelis, equally unequivocal, is that they will never under any circumstances return the city to Arab rule.

There is, to be sure, a curious optimism in the Nixon administration and the State Department about the prospects for the Geneva talks and the Arab oil embargo. Even if there is no great hope of a general settlement, it is felt that an interim agreement between Israel and Egypt, involving a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces in the Sinai and the reopening of the Suez Canal, will greatly improve the overall climate and induce the oil-producing states to ease up on their restrictions.

Admitting that Henry Kissinger knows more about it than most of us, it is still hard to see the grounds for this optimism. Holding the cards they do and playing them with the confidence they have been showing of late, it seems unlikely that the Arabs will settle for a modest military adjustment that leaves huge hunks of their territory in Israeli hands. It is also improbable that Europe and Japan, by offering lip-service to the Arab cause, are going to escape the squeeze which is the Arabs' major bargaining weapon.

Nor is the Israeli government, with its diminished majority, going to be in any position to offer the kind of concessions that the Arabs demand. It may be that enormous patience and ingenuity will succeed in overcoming these obstacles. But as things appear now, it is going to take some doing.

Washington State Supreme Court upheld yesterday what may be the nation's toughest disclosure law for public officials and lobbyists.

In a 7-to-2 decision, the court said all state officials, from congressmen and the governor to local fire commissioners, must file an extensive yearly report of their personal finances and business dealings.

The disclosure law was written and adopted by citizens in 1972 and came under legal attack on a number of fronts. Gov. Dan Evans was an early and strong supporter of the initiative, which also requires registration of lobbyists, full reporting of campaign finances and limitation of campaign spending.

The high court also upheld so-called bounty hunter provisions which permit citizens to turn in officials and lobbyists who fail to report their activities. The citizen collects one-half of any judgment.

DAYAN

Continued from Page A-1

The Israelis are believed to be prepared to pull their forces back from both banks of the Suez Canal at least as far as the inland Sinai passes about 30 miles east of the waterway.

But American, Israeli and Egyptian sources dismissed any thought that the Israeli withdrawal would be unilateral with no concessions, coming from the Arab side. The Israelis, in the first stage, appear to be insisting on a demilitarized zone in the Sinai, separating the forces of the two nations, and on a corresponding reduction in the size of the opposing armies.

Israel also is thought to be prepared to tie its withdrawal from the Suez sector to reopening of the canal by Egypt if there are guarantees of free passage for Israeli shipping.

The Kissinger-Dayan-Schlesinger meetings, coming on the heels of the Israeli election, mark an acceleration of the disengagement

activity both here and in Geneva.

Dayan's visit to Washington also is reported to include a high priority for orders for new planes, anti-tank weapons and other military equipment.

GHORBAL, at a lunch meeting with diplomatic correspondents, also exuded confidence that the first stage of the negotiations can now progress. But he warned that Egypt will not make any separate deal with Israel that is not accompanied by satisfactory agreements with Syria. He said that he believed Syria will eventually occupy its empty table at the Geneva peace talks when it is demonstrated that Israel is acting in good faith.

He said he also believed that the meeting of Palestinian leaders and organizations in Cairo next month would determine who will represent Palestine when the peace talks reach that stage of discussion. While

insisting that peace can come only when all territory occupied in 1967 by Israel has been evacuated, Ghorbal said there is room for negotiation on specific details of that requirement.

He pointedly referred to Pope Paul VI as one world leader who might have a significant role to play in the solution to the future of Jerusalem. Both Arabs and Israelis are adamant about their right to sovereignty over the former Arab portion of the holy city.

TECHNICAL aspects of possible Suez troop pullback also were discussed by the Israeli and Egyptian military delegations in Geneva yesterday.

"The parties examined technical models of disengagement," was all a spokesman would say about the talks. Another session has been scheduled for Monday.

Diplomatic sources said the delegations settled many of the technical prob-

lems and now await word from their governments on how far their troops can be withdrawn. Officials in Cairo said an agreement may be reached within 10 days and the pullback would take four to six weeks to complete.

At the Suez front, meanwhile, the U.N. peacekeeping force reported heavy clashes involving small arms, mortar and artillery on Thursday and yesterday.

IT SAID gunfire prevented unloading of U.N. trucks with supplies for Suez city — cut off by Israeli troops — and for Egypt's 3rd Arym — isolated on the East Bank of the Suez Canal. A spokesman said the trucks finally reached their destinations yesterday after the U.N. force "took up the matter with the Israeli government at the highest level." The October cease-fire pact provided for supply lines to the town and the Egyptian corps.

The Israeli command said two of its soldiers were wounded in firefighting yesterday. In ease-fire violations Wednesday, Israel reported three of its soldiers killed and 10 wounded — the highest casualty figure since the truce took effect.

# Sisco Will Be Given
Under Secretary Job

By Marilyn Berger

Washington Post Staff Writer

Joseph J. Sisco, the State Department's senior specialist on the Middle East, will be officially named today as under secretary for political affairs, informed sources said yesterday.

Sisco will replace William J. Porter, who was named under secretary last February. Porter is expected to be named U.S. ambassador to Canada, a post now held by Adolph W. Schmidt, a political appointee.

Nathaniel Davis, the recently named director general of the Foreign Service, is expected to be named assistant secretary in charge of congressional relations. He will replace Marshall Wright, who has been appointed U.S. ambassador to Cyprus.

Last month Sisco announced that he was going to leave the State Department to become president of Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. He had reportedly been offered the post of under secretary before he made that decision to leave. But as Mideast diplomacy went into high gear, Sisco is said to have been asked to reconsider. Acquaintances said he decided to stay on to see the negotiations through, and indication that he does not anticipate that they will be completed by the beginning of the next school year in September.

It is expected that Sisco's deputy, Alfred L. (Roy) Atherton, will later be named to Sisco's current post of assistant secretary for Near East and South Asian affairs.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's efforts to reorganize the State Department have been largely interrupted by the Middle East war and the ensuing efforts to bring about a settlement. Yesterday, Helmut Sonnenfeldt, Kissinger's chief deputy on the National Security Council, was sworn in as counselor of the State Department.

In a ceremony at the department, Kissinger noted Sonnenfeldt's "invaluable contributions to East-West relations, SALT and discussions on mutual force reductions." The secretary also cited Sonnenfeldt's contribution to "the whole philosophy of foreign policy."

Sonnenfeldt, like Kissinger a refugee from Nazi Germany, recalled that he first started working in the State Department 27 years ago. In the years that he has worked closely with Kissinger, the two men, both known to have considerable egos, have developed respect for each other along with a form of friendly rivalry. Kissinger said he looked forward to Sonnenfeldt's role in the State Department "with affection, anticipation and a slight touch of fear." Sonnenfeldt bantered that Kissinger's "eloquence somewhat exceeded the bounds of credibility... Somewhat."

U. S. Seen
Dubious on
Dayan Plan

WASH POST

By Yuval Elizur

Special to The Washington Post

JERUSALEM, Jan. 7—U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger told Israeli Defense Minister Gen. Moshe Dayan that he doubted that all aspects of his proposals for disengaging Israeli and Egyptian forces would be acceptable to Cairo, authoritative Israeli sources said today.

Kissinger did, however, say that the plan was “generous,” generally speaking, the sources said.

The Dayan-Kissinger talks took place in Washington over the weekend. The sources said Kissinger is maintaining intensive contacts with the Soviet Union and Egypt to obtain their reactions to the Israeli disengagement plans.

Dayan suggested a unilateral withdrawal in which Israel would move back its troops in stages to the Mitla and Gidi passes in the Sinai Desert without ruling out the possibility of further withdrawals later. In return for their initial pullback, the Israelis insist on a “thinning out” of Egyptian troops east of the Suez Canal and especially on limiting the quantity of armor and antiaircraft missiles there.

The Israeli newspapers

See MIDEAST, A8, Col. 2

# Kissinger Reported Dubious On Parts of Dayan's Plan

## MIDEAST, From A1

Maariv and Yedioth Aharonoth said that Kissinger had disapproved of a suggestion by Dayan that Egypt should issue a declaration of non-belligerence in exchange for the Israeli pullback. Kissinger reportedly said that such a declaration would expose Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to criticism by Arab extremists.

Kissinger also reportedly expressed the view that the Israeli pullbacks should be farther than Dayan indicated and that Israel should provide more details to Egypt about what it contemplates in the later stages of withdrawal after the initial pullback.

Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban was quoted as saying that Israel will take "concrete, arithmetical decisions about borders" with Egypt, Jordan and Syria after an agreement on troop withdrawals is reached with Cairo.

In an interview with the New York Post in Jerusalem, Eban ruled out a "no-compromise" stand in peace negotiations with Jordan.

Eban was quoted as saying that an inflexible position on the return of part of the West Bank of Jordan "isn't our policy and we don't think it is feasible."

He said that compromise with Egypt but not with Jordan was not "a viable doctrine because I don't think you can sign anything permanent with Egypt on the basis of a status quo on the Jordan-Palestine front."

Some Israeli commentators are criticizing Dayan's trip to Washington for making the Geneva talks "window dressing," with the important decisions taken elsewhere.

Maariv, Israel's largest circulation daily, attacked the Israeli government for "taking the impetus out of the Geneva conference." It editorialized that by allowing the major issues to be decided in Washington and Moscow, Israel is helping to pull the rug out from under the first direct talks between Israelis and Egyptians.

Maariv added, "The secretary general of the U.N., Dr. Kurt Waldheim, expressed the hope that the official meetings in Geneva would serve as an umbrella for private contacts between the two parties. In fact, however, there are no such contacts."

The newspaper complained that the indirect contacts through third parties which characterized Middle East peace efforts for a quarter of a century are continuing, despite the ceremonial opening of the conference last month.

The Israelis, not only the Egyptians, are to be blamed for reverting to the old tactics, Maariv said.

> There were the following other Middle East developments:

* In Geneva, Egyptian and Israeli military representatives met for the fifth time in efforts to separate their forces on the Suez front. In their briefest, least informative statement since the sessions began. The two sides merely said following a two-hour, 22-minute meeting that "disen-

gagement talks were continued" and that the next meeting would be held Wednesday.

"There were no new proposals," a high-ranking member of the Egyptian negotiating team said.

* The respected Beirut newspaper An Nahar reported that Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmi has urged the Palestinian guerrilla movement to form a government-in-exile for possible participation in the next phase of the over-all Geneva peace talks.

Fahmi told three guerrilla leaders in Cairo recently that Egypt would seek recognition of the Palestinian government from "socialist and other friendly nations," An Nahar said.

* The U.S. State Department, in response to questions, said the Lebanese government, in accordance with diplomatic custom, had approved President Nixon's selection of G. McMurtrie Godley to be ambassador in Beirut before it was formally announced.

Segments of the Lebanese press have called on the government to reject the nomination, now pending in the U.S. Senate, fearing that Godley's background in counter insurgency while ambassador to Laos would be used to thwart the Palestinian guerrillas.

* Vatican sources said that Pope Paul VI is stepping up his campaign to get a voice for the Catholic Church in the eventual disposition of holy places in Jerusalem.

The Vatican over the weekend made public a memorandum the Pope wrote ten years ago after a pilgrimage to the holy land. The memo said the Pope hoped the trip would reawaken Catholic desire for "guardianship over the holy places."

Vatican sources interpreted publication of the hitherto unknown note as the Pope's wish to be consulted in any territorial settlement for Jerusalem. It was printed Saturday on the front page of the official Vatican newspaper L'osservatore Romano.

# SALT Bog ...

NYT

1/17/74

One of the sharpest ironies of the nuclear arms race has been the periodic discovery that the weapons which most endanger American security are those the United States itself has invented to enhance it. Of no weapon has this ever been more true than of the MIRV multiple warhead missile, which threatens now to shift the nuclear balance in Russia's favor and has bogged down the second round of the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT II) in Geneva.

It was MIRV—and, particularly, Russia's first MIRV tests last summer atop the giant new SSX-18 missile—that Secretary of State Kissinger undoubtedly had in mind the other day when he described the chief difficulty in SALT II as “the rapid technological change in which weapons may outstrip the capacity of political control.” But some nongovernmental experts believe this pessimistic assessment is based on assumptions about Soviet policy which can only be probed by serious proposals for MIRV limitations of a kind the Administration so far has been unwilling to make.

During the SALT I negotiations, the Nixon Administration clearly was less interested in heading off Soviet MIRV development by a mutual test ban—it announced the first Soviet MIRV test four years before it occurred and almost monthly thereafter—than it was in initiating and pressing forward with deployment of American MIRV's atop submarine-based Poseidon and silo-based Minuteman III missiles. Confronted with a Soviet buildup of ICBM's, Washington viewed MIRV as the chosen instrument that would insure continued American nuclear superiority. Between 1970 and 1973 MIRV deployment tripled the number of separately targeted warheads in the American strategic missile forces from 1,710 to more than 5,000.

During this period, the Senate by an overwhelming majority urged the Administration to propose a MIRV ban. So did the President's own prestigious advisory committee on arms control, arguing that a MIRV race was not in the American interest. But the Administration avoided serious negotiations on MIRV limitation.

Dr. Ashraf Ghorbal, Egypt's Ambassador-designate to the United States, said in a television interview in Washington that if Egypt and Israel reached agreement in Geneva on the separation of their military forces, "then I can say that we are on the right road" for lifting the Arab oil embargo against the United States. [1:1-2.] Defense Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel gave a 90-minute report to the Israeli Cabinet on his two days of talks in Washington with Secretary of State Kissinger. A strict news blackout was imposed on the specifics of his remarks. [3:1-4.] The United Nations Emergency Force headquarters in Cairo reported that the shooting along the Egyptian-Israeli lines east and west of the Suez Canal declined in the last few days, but the threat of serious disruptions was said to persist in one area east of the canal. [3:2-3.]

President Anwar el-Sadat, clearly confident that Egypt will achieve a settlement with Israel, is believed to be preparing a major shake-up in the country's political structure and economic policies to open the way for industrial and social development. The key element would be a liberalization of Egypt's rigid socialist doctrine to attract foreign investment, particularly from the Arab oil-producing countries. [1:3-4.]

For a second day, troops, tanks and armored cars surrounded London's Heathrow Airport in a full-scale alert ordered after reports that Arab terrorists planned to shoot down airliners with Soviet-built surface-to-air missiles. Informed sources said that a "mixture" of intelligence reports about plans of Arab guerrillas had led the Government to put into effect contingency plans for protecting the airport. [3:1-2.]

### National

Vice President Ford said in a television interview on "Meet the Press" that some compromise might be possible between the White House and the Senate Watergate committee on the new confrontation over Presidential tape recordings and documents. He backed the President's refusal to yield the materials, but suggested compromise rather than confrontation. [1:8.]

William E. Simon, director of the Federal Energy Office, called for a rollback of for-

eign crude oil prices within months. He said that a rollback "should definitely be a major item on the agenda" of the international oil conference sought by President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger. [1:5.]

President Nixon attended church services in what was only his second announced departure from his San Clemente estate since his arrival there Dec. 26. The President's attendance at church called attention to the fact that his only other announced activity outside the estate during his post-Christmas vacation was on Dec. 28, when he attended the wedding of the White House physician Maj. Gen. Walter Tkach of the Air Force. Except for Secretary of State Kissinger, who spent three days at San Clemente, no member of the Cabinet has been in touch with Mr. Nixon since before Christmas. [1:6-7.]

Early Warning on Energy Shortage

To the Editor:

Your lead editorial of Dec. 20 has
this sentence in the next-to-last para-
graph: "It must be admitted, however,
that few experts in this country
sensed the intensity and extent of the
energy crunch that early." You were
referring to the 1969-1970 period,
when the current fuel crisis could
have been averted.

I respectfully remind you that we
were alerted to the dangers almost
twenty years ago by the Senate Sub-
committee on Minerals, Materials and
Fuels. Not only were we warned, but
recommendations were made in 1954
to proceed in the same areas now
being discussed.

The subcommittee was headed by
the late George W. Malone, Republican
of Nevada. If its advice had been
heeded, the "energy crisis" in this
country would have been prevented.

In June, 1954, Senator Malone de-
clared, "The Western Hemisphere can
become completely self-sufficient in
the production of necessary critical
materials in war and peace." He

overdue corrective measures should be
undertaken at once."

Senator Malone recommended im-
mediate Government appropriation of
research and development funds and
immediate encouragement to U.S. in-
dustry to "erect a large-scale oil shale
plant . . . to advance the production
of petroleum on a commercial basis."
He urged "research and studies on the
low-temperature carbonization of coal
. . . and ways and means to revive
the coal industry."

The Senator urged a large-scale pro-
duction of uranium "for tremendous
development of nuclear power for in-
dustry and civilian use." He demanded
immediate "improvement of our petro-
leum, gas and coal resources to assure
maximum availability of domestic fuels
for both the peacetime economy and
national security."

Although Senator Malone was an
engineer and geologist with excellent
credentials, he failed in his attempt
to alert his fellow Americans. To this
day, almost twenty years after his
encyclopedic study, the Interior De-
partment scientists, engineers and
engineers concede that the document
one of the greatest ever produced
the Senate and requires only up-
ping and statistical correction. Four
 residents have occupied the White
house since that 1954 report. God
he knows why we didn't listen.

Egypt's Envoy Hopes for a Restoration of Oil Exports

Dayan Returns to Israel After Talks
With Kissinger on Disengagement

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN

Special to The New York Times

NYT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 — Egypt's Ambassador-designate to the United States said today that if Egypt and Israel reached an agreement in Geneva on the separation of their military forces, "then I can say that we are on the right road toword lifting the Arab oil embargo against the United States."

In a televised interview on the Columbia Broadcasting System's program "Face the Nation," Dr. Ashraf Ghorbal also said that Egypt was "anxious to have a real and total peace" in the Middle East, which would include a peace agreement with Israel.

"The only way to do it is not by small solutions," Dr. Ghorbal asserted, "but a continuous solution that will see the Middle East problem through once and for all. Disengagement is the first step."

[Defense Minister Moshe Dayan returned to Israel after two days of talks with Secretary of State Kissinger and gave a report to the Cabinet. In Cairo, the headquarters of the United Nations Emergency Force said that shooting along the Egyptian-Israeli lines at the canal had dropped off. Page 3.]

Dr. Ghorbal, who will formally become Ambassador once full diplomatic relations are restored, was a personal adviser to President Anwar el-Sadat before coming to Washington last month. Earlier, he had headed Egypt's interests section in Washington.

Dr. Ghorbal said that as a result of the two days of talks in Washington Friday and yesterday between Mr. Kissinger and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel, "we are hoping, hoping very much, that that could be the beginning of a hopeful road ahead."

Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Dayan discussed Israel's ideas on specific proposals involving troop disengagement to be offered at

Continued From Page 1, Col. 2
the Geneva conference.

A formal Israeli proposal, said to include a 20-mile withdrawal by Israeli forces from the Suez Canal in return for a thinning of Egyptian troops on the eastern bank of the canal, is expected to be made soon.

Movement Is Sought

"I share the hope of Secretary Kissinger," Dr. Ghorbal said today, "that at long last we can move positively, constructively and very quickly in the Geneva talks."

Mr. Kissinger has said that the United States no longer regarded the Arab oil embargo against the United States as "appropriate" because of American mediation efforts in the Middle East. And high United States officials have asserted that they thought the embargo would be lifted when an agreement on separating Israeli and Egyptian forces was achieved.

Dr. Ghorbal said the oil action by the Arabs "was meant only to ring a bell—ring a bell wide and clear in every door, in America and in the world, that we too are human beings; we too are suffering, and we have been suffering for the past 25 years."

Not Anxious for War

"We are not, by any means, anxious to have war against Israel," Dr. Ghorbal continued. "We do not have any designs over Israel within its 5th of June, 1967, borders. We have gone and made all human sacrifices in order to liberate our territories, but not to conquer Israel territories; and we have tried by the oil to ring these bells."

Dr. Ghorbal was asked, "How

long do you propose to keep on ringing the oil bell?" and he replied:

"Well, I think the answer is already taking place. The action by the United States, the efforts that Secretary Kissinger is deploying, the remarks he made yesterday, the hopes and the positiveness in these hopes, which we are waiting impatiently to see translated into action. These are the beginning. And if Geneva achieves what is expected of it to achieve in disengagement, then I can say we are on the right road for things to happen positively."

Waiting to Taste

He was pressed again on the question of when the embargo would be lifted and he answered, "The proof of the pudding is in the tasting and we are waiting to taste."

"How can we explain to our people when Israeli flags are still flying on Arab occupied territory?" the Egyptian diplomat continued. "There must be a raison d'être for lifting the embargo that has been imposed in the beginning," Dr. Ghorbal said, alluding to the disengagement talks."

Dr. Ghorbal was told he seemed to be implying that the oil embargo could not be lifted while the Israeli flag was flying over any Arab territory occupied after the June, 1967, war.

"I think that implication is a little bit stretched," he replied.

The diplomat noted the Arab oil ministers had said that once Israelis committed themselves to a total withdrawal, backed by the United States the embargo could be lifted.

Arab Leniency Is Asserted

"As a matter of fact," he went on, "if we see what has happened on the Arab side on oil, we see that there has been really a diminution of the action taken by the Arab oil-producing states from the beginning until now. Countries that have been on the boycott have already had their flow back. We all wish—we do not like the boycott—we all wish that it could stop. But we all wish, too, to have our territories back."

Dr. Ghorbal refused to discuss details of Egypt's negotiating position, but said that "we understand that you cannot just by magic—by a wave of the stick—get the Israelis across the 5th of June, 1967, borders."

He said that Egypt would not oppose a phased implementation of a total settlement, but would not agree to freezing the current cease-fire at just another line.

Israel Shapes Military Proposal After Dayan's Talks

NYT 1/7/74

By TERENCE SMITH

Special to The New York Times

JERUSALEM, Jan. 6 — Defense Minister Moshe Dayan delivered a 90-minute report today to the Israeli Cabinet on his two days of talks in Washington with Secretary of State Kissinger.

A strict news blackout was imposed on the details of Mr. Dayan's report, but Israeli officials indicated that Israel and the United States had reached substantial if not total agreement on a draft proposal for the separation of Israeli and Egyptian forces along the Suez Canal.

Arriving at the recently renamed Ben-Gurion International Airport at Lydda this morning after an all-night flight from the United States, Mr. Dayan immediately boarded a helicopter for the 20-minute flight to Jerusalem.

He joined the Cabinet more than an hour after it had begun its weekly session. Deputy Premier Yigal Allon presided in the absence of Premier Golda Meir, who has been confined to bed for several days with a virus infection.

At the airport, Mr. Dayan told newsmen that his talks with Mr. Kissinger had been held in a "good spirit and with a good measure of mutual understanding."

He added that on the basis of what he had learned in Washington, the Israeli Government should be able to decide

upon a specific disengagement proposal to submit to Egypt at the Middle East peace conference in Geneva.

Israeli officials indicated later, however, that the Cabinet had taken no specific action today and that new instructions had not yet been sent to the Israeli negotiators in Geneva.

Nonetheless, reliable Israeli sources said that the essential

elements of a disengagement agreement were taking shape. The sources believe that Israel will propose an agreement along the following lines:

Israel's forces will evacuate their positions on the western bank of the Suez Canal and withdraw to an irregular line some 16 to 20 miles east of the canal, the line extending roughly from the Gidi and

Mitla Passes on the south to Balusa on the north.

Egypt's armies will take up a line similar to what they hold now, roughly three to five miles east of the canal.

The area between the two lines will be demilitarized and occupied by a United Nations force composed of several thousand troops from neutral nations.

Both sides will agree to limit the size and equipment of the forces on the lines. The Israelis will be willing to withdraw their heavy artillery to a line farther east if Egypt will agree to "thin out" her forces on the eastern bank of the canal.

Israel will also press for an Egyptian commitment to re-open the Suez Canal and rebuild and repopulate the shell-shattered cities along its banks. Such a commitment is regarded here as important, since it will increase the Egyptian stake in maintaining the cease-fire.

Israel will also seek from Egypt a formal renunciation of war.

Israeli officials are hoping for a disengagement agreement that will stabilize the military situation for a long time. Few Israelis seem to believe that a full and formal peace agreement can be achieved with Egypt or the other Arab nations in the foreseeable future. The minimal territorial positions of both sides remain in conflict.

International

After two days of detailed talks in Washington with Secretary of State Kissinger, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel said that he hoped his country was now ready to take "the first step" toward peace with Egypt by reaching an accord on the separation of Israeli and Egyptian forces. Both Mr. Kissinger and General Dayan stressed that the purpose of the visit to Washington was to outline Israeli views on how to accomplish the disengagement of forces and to listen to American advice before making a specific proposal at the current talks on troop disengagement in Geneva [1:8.]

Heavy outbreaks of fighting between Israeli and Egyptian forces in and around the city of Suez were reported by the headquarters of the United Nations Emergency Force in Cairo, which described the situation as "tense." Artillery and machine-gun fire and shrapnel were reported to have struck buildings occupied by a Finnish contingent of the United Nations force, and a Finnish platoon doing exercises on a road at Suez reportedly came under direct fire, though no one was hit. [9:1.]

The Nixon Administration is moving ahead with plans to ask Congress for increased arms aid to South Vietnam during the current fiscal year, according to a number of Administration officials. President Nixon, Secretary of State Kissinger and Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger are known to have approved the general plans, but have not yet decided on the extent of the aid or its composition or how it will be presented to Congress. [1:6.]

Mrs. Meir Slips,
But Not Where It
Counts—Geneva

The Labor alignment of Premier Golda Meir has slipped a little in national parliamentary elections, but the results are not expected to force any immediate fundamental change in Israel's position at negotiations in Geneva. That long-range position essentially reflects a willingness to give up an unspecified amount of formerly Arab territory in exchange for not-yet-defined "secure borders."

Israel's Defense Minister, Moshe Dayan, met last week in the United States with Secretary of State Kissinger on the more immediate problem of separating the armies at the Suez Canal. He reportedly advanced a proposal for a "thinning out" of Egyptian troops on the east bank of the Suez Canal; the quid pro quo would be an Israeli pullback of 30 miles from the Canal, where daily shooting incidents threaten the cease-fire. He and Mr. Kissinger were reported yesterday to have reached agreement on the plan.

This proposal has been Israel's known negotiating position in Geneva on the separation of the entangled Israeli and Egyptian forces. There are reports that the talks have reached "an important stage."

These are hardly academic matters. The New York Times military correspondent, Drew Middleton, recently toured the area. He wrote a series of articles suggesting that there are serious threats to the cease-fire. The hard-learned lessons of the war, the disposition and strength of the scattered forces, and the probable widened scope of a future conflict, Mr. Middleton found, form a "critical backdrop" for events in Geneva.

In Israel, Mrs. Meir's representatives in the Labor party were taking their case, as they always have in 25 years of Labor rule, to the National Religious party. The religious grouping captured about 11 seats in the election. Taken together with Labor's expected 51 seats (the results are still unofficial), such a coalition would make a bare majority in the 120-seat house.

The religious grouping is expected to have a long list of demands on domestic issues. But what it will ask of Labor at Geneva is the critical matter, and Labor officials have been told that the religious party will tolerate no return of "historic Palestine," which in its terms means the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River.

A broader price is a demand for Labor to widen the coalition to include the right-wing opposition, the Likud. Labor is strongly resisting this, for acceptance of the Likud would be to deal with that group's hard-line views in Geneva. Because of Labor's resis-

victions. G. Gordon Liddy is serving a long prison sentence after he refused to cooperate with investigators. The three burglars from the Miami area will most likely be paroled this month.

**Plumbers:** Four officials who were involved with the White House investigating unit known as the plumbers were indicted last year in Los Angeles on state charges arising from the burglary of Dr. Daniel Ellsberg's former psychiatrist. They are John D. Ehrlichman, former chief White House domestic adviser, Egil Krogh Jr., David R. Young and Mr. Liddy. Mr. Krogh subsequently pleaded guilty to a Federal charge stemming from the burglary, and the state charge was dropped. The Los Angeles trial has been postponed several times and is now scheduled for the spring.

**I.T.T.:** Mr. Jaworski's staff is investigating the relationship between the Nixon Administration and the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, especially the question whether the corporation obtained a favorable settlement of an antitrust suit in return for a pledge of up to $400,000 to the Republican National Convention. The Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Commerce Committee have held extensive hearings on the I.T.T. case, and have heard contradictory testimony from many Government and company officials.

Among those being investigated for possible perjury and obstruction of justice are Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Ehrlichman, Richard G. Kleindienst, the former Attorney General, Charles W. Colson, former special counsel to the President, and William F. Casey, former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Casey's nomination to be head of the Export-Import Bank has been blocked by the Senate Banking Committee because of his possible role in the I.T.T. affair.

**Dirty Tricks:** Donald H. Segretti is serving six months in prison for his efforts to sabotage the primary campaigns of Democratic Presidential candidates. Ironically, one of Mr. Segretti's hired hands, George Hearing, is serving a longer sentence—a year

tance thus far to entreaties on behalf of the Likud, and because of the religious party's relative indifference to territorial questions other than the West Bank, there appears to be no immediate threat to events in Geneva.

The Labor-led government is not expected to have to deal with Jordan in Geneva for several months. It could presumably use that time to arrange a separate settlement with Egypt.

The Likud was disappointed at its showing. Although it jumped from 32 seats to 38 or 39, that was not enough to permit it to take power from Mrs. Meir. But the doves in the Labor party lost too. They had hoped for something more decisive.

Cooperation on Oil

NYT

1/6/74

Secretary of State Kissinger's warning that worldwide depression and economic suicide lie ahead if the industrial nations persist in dealing separately and competitively with the energy crisis is blunt talk, but long overdue.

Mr. Kissinger proposes a high-level Energy Action Group of the United States, West Europe, Japan and Canada to lay down a vast program of collaborative action to overcome the medium- and long-term energy shortage. The aim is to obtain assurance of required energy supplies at reasonable cost by encouraging consumers to conserve energy and to use existing supplies more rationally, by developing alternative energy sources and by providing producers an incentive to increase their supply. The personal effort President Nixon plans to initiate this week to persuade America's allies to join in this far-reaching project should help elicit more favorable responses than have been forthcoming so far.

But what primarily concerns the Europeans and Japanese is the immediate energy shortage. Here, fear of further Arab retaliation impedes a common front with the United States since West Europe and Japan are dependent on the Arabs for two-thirds or more of their oil, while American dependence is only about 10 per cent. Without a generous United States offer to share more equitably the burdens of energy shortfalls, America's allies can hardly be expected to risk the joint approach to the oil producers that alone could discourage further economic warfare and monopolistic price gouging.

A joint approach could in fact alter the whole bargaining basis between the oil producing and consuming nations. The industrial countries obviously have need of Arab oil; but it is equally true that the Arab countries have need of the industrial nations' manufactured and agricultural goods, military equipment, shipping, financial markets and investment outlets. Moreover, a common front of the oil consumers, coupled with a restriction of nonessential uses and urgent development of other energy resources would reduce demand for the oil that the Arabs must sell to survive.

Once the industrial countries pursue a united policy, their power to exert economic countermeasures will be immense, while the intolerable threat of economic disaster at the hands of the oil producers will correspondingly diminish.

# Making Friends With Our Friends

Henry Kissinger's designation of 1973 as the "Year of Europe" did not blossom into a fruitful exercise, so it could be wise to designate 1974 as the year in which the United States makes friends with its friends.

Kissinger put the challenge well in his year-end press conference: "The problem before us is whether the nations of the Atlantic Alliance as well as Japan, faced with self-evident problems which affect them all, can develop a common approach or whether they will consume themselves in the sort of rivalry that has destroyed other civilizations."

This is a tough challenge for Kissinger, who has been endowed with great talents but is not by nature well equipped to deal with the special kind of brittleness that threatens the Alliance. He still plays political chess while the game grows more economic, and he perceives the political moves more

adroitly than the economic opportunities.

The promising concept as 1973 opened was to tie together in one bundle all the chafes and concerns that were common to the United States and its allies. These would include nuclear weapons, troops in Europe, tariffs, agricultural exports, monetary reform plus the intangible aspects of the Atlantic relationship. The idea was to sort out these concerns and weigh them against each other to achieve acceptably equitable compromises.

The energy crisis, plainly in sight as 1973 began, was to furnish the handle that made this concept practical as well as urgent. It was useful because it threatened the well-being of all the allies and gave them a strong impetus to lay selfish preoccupations aside in a new common endeavor. It promised to be a stimulus for revived cooperation, a yoke to impose discipline, and a

handle on the centrifugal forces at work within the Alliance.

But the opportunity was lost, as the year unfolded, in the sad disarray of the White House, in the President's imprudent decision to dispense with the services of Peter Peterson, and in the scramble of Kissinger's campaign to replace William Rogers as Secretary of State. Suddenly the administration lacked the leverage abroad and the cohesion at home to pull together the odds and ends of a complex policy.

So the energy crisis was permitted to become a divisive force in the Alliance instead of a rallying point. The leaders turned on each other because none was ready for a predictable set of circumstances. By Dec. 12, when Kissinger made his speech to the Pilgrim Society in London, the agitation of the allies limited the prospects of meaningful collaboration.

And it should be said that the Kissinger proposal was presented like a gimmick. It had not, for example, been explored with the President's energy czar, William Simon, who was obliged to tell foreign ambassadors in Washington that he couldn't say exactly what the speech meant until he had a chance to speak with Kissinger.

No Nixon official bothered to give any Canadian official advance word of the Kissinger proposal. Yet there is no nation whose co-operation will be more crucial than Canada's as the United States faces its energy squeeze. It is sad but true that the traditional warmth and closeness of the relations with Canada have been allowed to wither in recent years. The repair work must quickly begin.

In its relations with friendly countries, the administration may have paid too much of a price for its preoccupation with China and the Soviet Union.

to set himself apart from past and present officials of the Nixon administration — some under indictment or facing indictment — who justified actions in the name of national security. Some of the operations of the so-called White House “plumbers” have been described as necessary for national security and the President himself has cited national security in refusing to make some White House records available.

In an impromptu speech at his swearing-in ceremony yesterday, the former senator from Ohio described himself as a "law-and-order man" in the sense that law brings order in society.

HE SAID he does not believe in the concept in the sense of the Western marshal who said: "We don't have much law around here, but we sure as hell have order."

"What I mean," Saxbe said, "is a society operating in a manner as to give each individual the opportunity to express himself without fear of "Big Brother" doing those things outside of the law, in the name of protection, in the name of defense."

More than 500 friends from Ohio and Washington jammed the Great Hall of the Justice Department for the ceremony.

On the platform with Saxbe, in addition to his wife, were solicitor Gen. Robert H. Bork, who has acted as attorney general since Oct. 20; Elliot L. Richardson, who quit on Oct. 20 rather than fire then-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, and Richard Kleindienst, who was replaced by Rich-

In Disengagement Talks

ful, intelligent suggestions." He said that issues had been "clarified."

But Kissinger sidestepped the word "agreement" when asked whether there was agreement on principles of disengagement. He said:

> "... During the whole process our respective positions were clarified. We did not start from a position of confrontation but with a large understanding of objectives to be realized. While we presented some ideas of our own in the past two days, the two positions have approached each other very substantially."

It was understood that Dayan agreed to take some of Kissinger's suggestions back to his cabinet for incorporation into the Israeli proposal to be made in the Geneva disengagement talks. But while U.S. and Israeli officials continued to express optimism about the chances for an initial disengagement during the coming months, nobody was making firm predictions. Asked if as a result of the two days of talks there was something new, that both Israelis and Egyptians can accept, Kissinger said:

> "I have indicated I am hopeful about the prospect of these

talks and I maintain that hope."

As he accompanied Dayan from the State Department after their four-hour meeting yesterday, Kissinger told reporters that up to this point the talks in Geneva have been "in an exploratory phase in which both sides have been discussing general ideas and approaches in which no specific proposals have as yet been put forward. Now as these negotiations move into a more concrete phase and as the Israeli government is considering concrete proposals which it might make in Geneva, it was natural that Minister Dayan would come over here as agreed in my last visit to Jerusalem to discuss the general ideas the Israeli government has with respect to the separation of forces prior to their submitting a formal proposal in Geneva."

Kissinger said: "Minister Dayan presented their ideas and plans with his characteristic lucidity and vigor. We presented some of our ideas. We had very constructive and useful talks and the minister is now returning to Israel to meet with the cabinet on the basis of these talks. It will then consider and formulate some proposals for formal consideration in Geneva."

which sought the ruling in the
U.S. District Court in Wash-
ington, said the effect may be
to require redistricting parts
of Manhattan, Brooklyn and
the Bronx before this year's
elections.

The fund spokesman, lawyer Eric Schnapper, said such a redistricting could result in the election of more black and Puerto Rican congressmen and legislators. He said the June primary might have to be delayed until the state legislature drew new lines and got them approved by the Justice Department.

Lawyers for the fund said
they would seek an injunction
next week barring the holding
of elections on the present dis-
trict lines.

A spokesman for state Attor-
ney General Louis Lefkowitz
declined comment on the case.

The ruling by a three-judge
panel in the District Court on
Friday was not a final deter-
mination on the merits of the
New York case, but rather a
temporary finding that the

state will not be exempt while
the courts decide whether to
remove the exemption perma-
nently.

New York has been exempt
from the Voting Rights Act,
which was aimed at Southern
states, since 1972 with the con-
sent of the Justice Depart-
ment.

The department recently
switched its position and said
New York should be covered.

The act requires that any
change in election laws in cer-
tain areas be submitted to the
Justice Department for ap-
proval, to avoid racial discrim-
ination.

It applies to any state, city
or county where a literacy test
was required for voting, and
where less than 50 per cent of
eligible voters were registered
or voted in 1964 and 1968.

Schnapper said Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx,
where 2.2 million blacks and
Puerto Ricans live, were be-
lieved to be the only counties
outside the South that fell un-
der the act.

The fund challenged the dis-
trict lines drawn by the legis-
lature in 1972 on grounds that
they split up minority neigh-
borhoods so that few blacks or
Puerto Ricans could get
elected to Congress or the
state legislature.

For example, Schnapper
said, there are enough blacks
in Brooklyn to make a major-

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- IF "A FOOLISH CONSISTENCY IS THE HOBOGOBLIN OF LITTLE MINDS," AS EMERSON CONTENDED, THAN NOBODY CAN EVER ACCUSE SECRETARY OF STATE HENRY A. KISSINGER OF THINKING SMALL.

FOREIGN DIPLOMATS, WHILE ADMIRING THE SECRETARY'S ADROIT DIPLOMATIC FOOTWORK, OFTEN COMPLAIN THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN VERY PREDICTABLE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

THEY DEPLORE THE AMBIGUITY OF SOME OF HIS STATEMENTS, AS WELL AS SUDDEN-U.S. POLICY SHIFTS WHICH CAUGHT THEM WITH THEIR SPATS DOWN.

KISSINGER UNDOUBTEDLY WOULD PLEAD GUILTY, WITH EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.

HIS VIEW, AIDES SAY, IS THAT WASHINGTON SOMETIMES MUST MAKE DECLARATIONS WHICH CAN BE INTERPRETED DIFFERENTLY BY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. HOW ELSE, THEY ASK, CAN ANTAGONISTS SUCH AS ARABS AND ISRAELIS EVER BE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO FIND SOME COMMON GROUND FOR TALKING PEACE?

AS FOR SUDDEN POLICY SHIFTS, KISSINGER DEFENDS THE TORTUOUS DIPLOMATIC PATH HE SOMETIMES TAKES AS NECESSARY TO ATTAIN A DESIRABLE OBJECTIVE.

HE EXPRESSED THIS CLEARLY LAST WEEK WHEN HE TOLD NEWSMEN THAT "OF COURSE THE FINAL JUDGMENT ON FOREIGN POLICY IS THE SUBSTANCE AND NOT THE PROCEDURE."

THAT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE MACHIVELLIAN IDEA THAT THE "END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS" ALTHOUGH KISSINGER REJECTS THE COMPARISON. HE APPARENTLY CANNOT CONDONE THE ELEMENT OF DECEIT WHICH WAS -- ALONG WITH THE IRRELEVANCE OF MORALITY -- SO GREAT A PART OF THE ITALIAN STATESMAN'S THEORY.

KISSINGER IS A GREAT BELIEVER IN "DECLARATIONS OF PRINCIPLES," SUCH AS NIXON SIGNED WITH THE RUSSIANS IN MOSCOW IN 1972. IT IS FAR EASIER TO AGREE ON PRINCIPLES THAN ON SPECIFICS BUT IT IS NECESSARY IN HIS OPINION, TO START BY A GENERAL AGREEMENT ON GROUND RULES.

FOREIGNERS POINT TO A NUMBER OF ZIGS AND ZAGS IN POLICY BY THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION. THESE INCLUDE THE ADMINISTRATION'S SUDDEN DEAL WITH PEKING, AFTER URGING JAPAN TO HOLD THE LINE AGAINST THE COMMUNISTS AND INTENSIFY ITS TRADE WITH TAIWAN.

AFTER THE LEVERAGE PROVIDED BY THE SINO-SOVIET DISPUTE HAD BEEN USED TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH BOTH, KISSINGER AND NIXON SUDDENLY BEGAN TALKING ABOUT AN IDEA WALTER LIPMAN ALREADY HAD PUT FORWARD: POLYCENTRISM. INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO BIG POWER BLOCKS, BASED ON WASHINGTON AND MOSCOW, THEY ADDED CHINA, JAPAN AND WESTERN EUROPE AS THREE OTHER POWER CENTERS WHICH COULD HELP BALANCE THE WORLD ORDER.

AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AFTER FOUR YEARS OF INSISTING THAT THE UNITED STATES WOULD BE WILLING TO "ASSIST" THE ARABS AND ISRAEL IN ARRANGING PEACE TALKS BUT WOULD NEVER BECOME DIRECTLY INVOLVED, THE UNITED STATES AFTER THE OCTOBER WAR SUDDENLY PROPOSED THAT RUSSIA JOIN IT IN ACTUALLY SPONSORING A CONFERENCE.

WHILE OTHERS MAY WONDER ABOUT U.S. POLICY DIRECTIONS, KISSINGER NOW MUST PONDER THE KREMLIN'S FUTURE COURSE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HE ACKNOWLEDGES THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT. ONE MAINTAINS RUSSIA WANTS TO SUSTAIN TENSION IN THE AREA TO INCREASE ITS INFLUENCE AND DAMAGE THE ECONOMIES OF WESTERN EUROPE, JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES.

THE OTHER SCHOOL BELIEVES RUSSIA IS AWARE THAT SOVIET ACTIONS RISK CONFRONTATION WITH THE UNITED STATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THEREFORE IT IS TO THE BENEFIT OF MOSCOW TO WORK FOR PEACE.

THE SOVIET UNION, SO FAR, HAS BEEN HELPFUL IN ARRANGING PEACE TALKS AND THE UNITED STATES, KISSINGER SAID, THEREFORE IS WILLING TO COOPERATE.

"SHOULD SOVIET BEHAVIOR CHANGE, WE CAN ALWAYS REEXAMINE OUR POLICY," HE SAID.

## ARAB EMBARGO

By Oswald Johnston

Star-News Staff Writer

The latest White House pronouncement on the energy crisis has made it plain that the administration sees a greater long-term threat in the sharply increased cost of energy than in the immediate shortages caused by the Arab oil embargo.

In his San Clemente news conference yesterday, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger several times expressed his worry that four-fold increases in crude oil over the past year could bring world depression, yet cannot be controlled by any single nation — including the United States.

While Kissinger repeated his warning that a continuing Arab embargo is not "appropriate" in the face of U.S. Middle East peace efforts, but that the administration is planning no counter embargoes "at the moment," he made plain his view that the economic threat of the new costs of oil is the greatest threat thus far to the stability of the non-communist world.

**OFFERING** his proposals in London last month that the United States, Western Europe and Japan join with the oil producers in an Energy Action Group, Kissinger yesterday promised that President Nixon would take charge of this program within a few weeks.

The President, Kissinger said, would personally urge the leadership of the 15 to 20 energy producing nations to join in support of the proposal.

# On Shoestring

Knight Newspapers Service

Ohio Rep. Charles A. Vanik plans to seek re-election to his 11th term this year — on a shoestring.

Vanik, 60, said yesterday he will “endeavor to campaign without a campaign fund — no contributions to be accepted, no funds to be spent, no signs, no campaign cards, no advertising, no purchase of time or space in the media.”

A veteran Democratic member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which holds the pursestrings of the federal government, Vanik is an outspoken advocate of both tax and campaign spending reform.

In his last House campaign in 1972, he reported spending about $36,000. He spent lesser amounts in preceding campaigns.

"WATERGATE" has cast a shadow over the entire spectrum of political life," Vanik said, "and those who can should do whatever they can to redeem the people's confidence in their government and elective process."

He probably will pay incidental expenses incurred in campaigning, such as gasoline and transportation, out of his own pocket. Beyond that, he said, he doesn't expect to incur any expenses.

REP. CHARLES A. VANIK

"In campaigning for public office, candidates should use more of their own energy and less of other people's money," Vanik said.

"MONEY CAN contaminate the political process. Even small contributors can lay claim to rewards and favors."

Vanik's district in eastern Cleveland and its suburbs is relatively compact and considered "Safe" for the incumbent. Nevertheless, Democrats comprise only 34 percent of the registered voters. Independents comprise 42 percent, Republicans 24 percent.

Kissinger refused to give
any specifics. But the tenor
of his statements made it
clear that he and Nixon be-
lieve the economic future of
the Western nations could
depend on whether the in-
dustrialized nations can
cooperate in putting a price
limit on their demand for
oil.

When Kissinger first
broached the idea of an in-
tenational energy collective
he was attempting to sal-
vage something of the diplo-
matic initiative the adminis-
tration had hoped to
achieve with its so-called
year of Europe.

HE SPOKÉ at a time
when Arab production cut-
backs were on the verge of
being eased, and the Euro-
peans, in hot competition
with one another for Middle
East oil supplies, gave the
unity proposal a cold shoul-
der.

The Dec. 23 decision by
Persian Gulf producers to
boost the posted price for
crude oil from $5.11 a barrel
to $11.65 a barrel came as
an unexpected shock here
and in Europe. It served
notice that the oil weapon
had grown from a political
lever in the Arab-Israel war
to a dominating element of
the whole economy of the
developed world.

In the view of the Persian
Gulf producers — led unex-
pectedly in the price boost
by the non-Arab, pro-West-
ern Shah of Iran — oil
should no longer be treated
as a cheap commodity
because it is theoretically
plentiful in the desert shiek-
doms of the gulf.

Rather, it should be
priced at the same rate as
the most expensive sources
of energy, on the theory
that the rich nations of the
world will always set their
own value on the energy
they need. As if to prove the
point, oil marketed at an
auction sale in mid-Decem-
ber brought more than $17 a
barrel.

ACCORDINGLY, Kissin-
ger yesterday stressed the
need for all participants in
the scramble for energy
supplies to avoid the kind of
breakneck competition that
would make a scarce com-
modity still more scarce
and drive the price up so
high that worldwide eco-
nomic dislocations would
result.

"It is not in the power of
the United States to control
the rise of these prices,"

Kissinger pointed out.
"These prices are being set
by the producing countries.
And under conditions of to-
tally unrestrained competi-
tion among all the consumer
countries, there is no way
any one consumer can af-
fect the prices . . . There is
no way any one nation can
solve it by itself, not even a
nation as powerful as the
United States."

If energy prices keep ris-
ing as a result of "unres-
trained competition" Kis-
singer warned, "it is al-
ready estimated that any-
where from 30 to 50 percent
of the foreign reserves of
some countries will have to
be devoted simply to the
acquisition of energy, and
this will affect their import

policy toward other coun-
tries, and will have a pro-
found effect on the whole
world economic situation."

KISSINGER spelled out
what the effect would be in
the industrial West, where
expanded trade and grow-
ing intercommercial de-
pendence is the basis of
propersity a "massive
depression" resulting from
disoriented trade balances
and severe drains on cur-
rencies.

He did not mention it, but
in the underdeveloped
world, too, the chances of
economic progress or even
the avoidance of famine
depend in large part on oil

able source of energy.

President to Ask Global Unity on Oil

Kissinger Hints Private Move

SAN CLEMENTE, Jan. 3 —President Nixon will appeal to the principal oil-producing nations to band together with the world's major oil-consuming countries in an effort to avert a global depression, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said today.

At a news conference Kissinger said that Arab nations have a long-term interest in stabilized oil prices and supplies despite their competitive advantages in the current energy crisis.

"... Since they are part of the same world economy everyone else is, they cannot have an interest in a massive depression," Kissinger said.

At the 45-minute all question-and-answer news conference, hours before he flew back to Washington for

a meeting Friday with Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, Kissinger made these other points:

* The Israeli elections, in which a hard-line opposition made moderate gains, will not deter the present talks on disengagement of Egyptian and Israeli troops along the Suez Canal. Kissinger said, "It has always been understood that after the Israeli elections that the talks might accelerate," and he said there was a "broad consensus in Israel" for proceeding with the disengagement negotiations.

* Despite published reports that success in the disengagement talks would lead to an end of the Arab oil boycott, Kissinger said he had no idea of a timetable.

He also declined to rule

out the possibility of a counter-embargo of raw materials to the Arab nations, merely saying, "We are not planning any specific measures of this kind at this moment."

Nixon Seen in Firm Control

By Murrey Marder
Washington Post Staff Writer

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger yesterday scoffed at speculation that he now controls American foreign policy because President Nixon is so entrapped by the Watergate scandals.

It is "totally incorrect" that there is any change in the authority, or activity, of the President in foreign affairs since he became Secretary of State in September, Kissinger told a press conference at San Clemente.

"I do not believe that the great departments of the government can be personal fiefdoms of individual men," Kissinger said. "The constitutional responsibility for conducting foreign policy resides in the President," he continued. "The Secretary of State has to be the agent of the President or he represents nothing."

The fact that the question was put publicly to Kissinger, and that he responded so vigorously, was itself an illustration of what Kissinger acknowledged at a news conference in October: "... One cannot have a crisis of authority in a society for a period of months without paying a price somewhere along the line."

Kissinger was asked three times yesterday about the consequences for foreign policy resulting from the current consideration of possible impeachment of the President. It is known that this subject privately troubles many U.S. officials.

The Kissinger reply yesterday was, "I have no reason to assume that there will be an impeachment and

Sen. William Proxmire (D-
Vis.) said the captain was

about $7,234 at current ex-
change rates — to draw up the
plans in January, 1972, and

attachment and 137 pieces of
earth-moving equipment to do
the job.

Proxmire did not identify
the Army captain, who is no
longer in the service, nor the
German woman who owned
the land near Bad Muenster.

Although the Army now has
the incident under investiga-
tion, Proxmire said, it took no
action until it was "prodded
into motion" by the GAO in-
quiry beginning in July, 1973.
Proxmire had asked the GAO
to conduct the inquiry.

The GAO said the captain
first sought to have the battal-
on assigned to build the golf
course as a "community rela-

uled a five-day "field exercise"
on the site Jan. 24, 1972. It
took along 34 armored person-
nel carriers, three tanks, a
road grader, a bulldozer and a
20-ton crane.

"The first day and part of the
second were spent in setting
up the bivouac area and in de-
molition training — blowing up
trees," the GAO said. "The
battalion spent the rest of the
week cleaning up — chopping,
sawing, dragging and burning
trees."

The cost of the operation,
according to the GAO, in-
cluded $1,000 worth of fuel,
$300 in explosives, $1,000 to re-
place two tents that were set
afire by sparks from the burn-
ing foliage, and an undeter-
mined amount of money to re-
pair damage to chain saws,
hand tools and the vehicles.

A Pentagon spokesman said
the officers involved may be
prosecuted if the allegations
prove true.

The committee on
counsel, Samuel Dash, de-
nied Saxbe's charges and
said the tapes and docu-
ments were carefully select-
ed and specified, even
though they run into the
hundreds.

"[Every tape and docu-
ment we've asked for is rele-
vant to our investigation,"
Dash said, "and we can docu-
ment that. It is not a fish-
ing expedition. Clearly
we've asked for a large
number of items, but our
resolution (setting up the
Senate Watergate commit-
tee) is very broad and it
calls for a complete investi-
gation."

Saxbe said the commit-
tee's action will "come to a
point where the President
has to decide whether there
is any privacy in his office."

He said he wanted

# The Kissinger Phenomenon

Amid the disorder and paralysis of the Nixon administration, the only pillar of strength and stability is Henry Kissinger.

It is no secret that the dazzling performance of this Secretary of State, who commands the respect of all world leaders, is viewed with both awe and fascination. An interesting corollary to the Kissinger phenomenon is that his diplomacy abroad has saved the Nixon administration from complete disintegration by diverting attention away from the curse of Watergate.

Because he is regarded by many people as the most powerful and influential American Secretary of State, Mr. Kissinger is often compared to some of the great 18th and 19th-century European foreign ministers — Talleyrand, Metternich and Bismarck. To many Europeans, Kissinger is a true continental, owing to his Germanic birth, his profound sense of history and his mastery of the intricacies of diplomacy. More specifically, Mr. Kissinger shares Messrs. Talleyrand's and Metternich's geopolitical philosophy — that a balance of power among nations is the best method of preventing war and guaranteeing peace.

Most observers have overlooked Kissinger's similarity to Count Wenzel Anton Von Kaunitz, the great 18th-century Austrian foreign minister to Empress Maria Theresa. Called by writer Will Durant as "the ablest, most penetrating, most persevering diplomat," Kaunitz helped fashion alliances and balances of power among many European nations during the Seven Years War of 1756 to 1763.

While the passage of time may diminish Mr. Kissinger's standing among the giants of European diplomacy and place his accomplishments in a better perspective, his rise to power and notoriety is more spectacular because he is a product of humble origins. Talleyrand and Kaunitz were born into aristocratic fam-

ilies and had an early exposure to diplomacy.

Despite his popularity in this country, is the current infatuation with Henry Kissinger a good thing for hero conscious Americans? Given the severity of our domestic problems, is it all wrong to momentarily escape the pressure of events and idolize this roving world statesman? According to British historian J. H. Plumb, "America's capacity to influence events depends upon one man and one man alone — Dr. Kissinger; an extraordinary dangerous situation for a great power."

The critical need, it seems to me, is to create more depth and confidence within the administration. Having accomplished this, the Kissinger achievements will rest upon more solid foundation and truly outlive the tragic and ignominous Nixon era.
