The Geneva disarmament conference resumed after an eight-week recess but without clarification of Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev’s “new initiative” against unspecified terror weapons. Brezhnev said last week it was imperative that the conference take steps to ban weapons more destructive than nuclear bombs. A Soviet delegate, Evgueny Fedorov, said in an interview that Brezhnev may have referred to meteorological warfare.
A summit session of the European Security Conference could start in Helsinki on July 28, just a week after the date proposed by Soviet Communist Party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev, U.S. officials said in Washington. They added that the decision would have to be made by Monday because Finland requires four weeks’ notice. Only three major issues remain to be settled at summit preparatory sessions being held in Geneva, the officials said.
President Ford is considering plans to visit three European Communist countries in late July after conclusion of the European Security Conference in Helsinki, Administration officials and European diplomats said today. They said Mr. Ford was expected to stop briefly in Poland, Rumania and Yugoslavia and that he would then go to West Germany for a short visit, on the way back to the United States. Final scheduling of the East European trip must await agreement by the 35‐nation security conference on how and when to hold a summit conference in the Finnish capital late next month, the American officials and European diplomats said. They noted, however, that in two years of negotiations at Geneva, the delegates from Eastern and Western Europe, the United States and Canada, had nearly completely a draft of a final document for presentation and signing in Helsinki.
The 125-nation International Labor Conference approved in Geneva a new convention seeking to improve the lot of millions of migrant workers. Countries adhering to the convention are pledged to promote and guarantee “equality of opportunity and treatment” for migrant workers and their families. The United States, trying unsuccessfully to exclude seasonal workers from the convention, was one of 81 that abstained in the vote. Backers of the convention included Spain, Italy. Portugal and Turkey-homelands of most of the 13 million “guest workers” in Europe.
Soviet bloc premiers began talks in Budapest, Hungary, on economic coordination for the next five years, with problems of energy and raw materials high on the agenda. Heads of the nine nations in the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) are meeting for the first time since a 130% raise in Soviet oil prices in January, which sharply worsened trading terms for some members.
The Commurdrst spy whose discovery led to Chancellor Willy Brandt’s fall from power last year has formally confessed to being an agent of the East German State Security Ministry in testimony read at his trial today. Minter Guillaume, who is 48 years old, went on trial with his wife Christel, 47, in a specially built $500,000 basement courtroom in Bonn this morning. Witnesses later this summer will include Mr. Brandt, the architect of the West German policy of détente with East Germany and the other Communist countries. He resigned as Chancellor in May of 1974, two weeks after Mr. Guillaume, his personal assistant, was arrested. As it happens, he will be going to Moscow next week at the invitation of the Soviet Communist party leader, Leonid I. Brezhnev.
Turkish opposition leader Bulent Ecevit called for the government’s resignation after blaming it for political violence that has left two people dead in the last four days. Ecevit made his call in an address to Parliament during a law-and-order debate marked by scuffles between government and opposition deputies. His speech coincided with fresh student clashes in Ankara in which at least two policemen were injured seriously and shots were fired, university sources said.
The claim of Don Juan de Borbón, the Count of Barcelona, to become King of Spain upon the death of President Francisco Franco, was formally rejected by Prime Minister Carlos Arias Navarro, who told Parliament that Don Juan’s son, Juan Carlos de Borbón, would be Franco’s successor. Don Juan, the former Crown Prince of Spain, had been pretender to the throne since the 1941 death of his father, former King Alfonso XII, had declared from exile in Portugal that he would be more qualified to guide Spain to democracy.
U.S. physicist Edward Teller, who has been called the father of the hydrogen bomb, said in an Israeli radio interview that there would be no real world energy shortage and that talk of such a possibility only encouraged political action by oil-producing countries. He said nuclear energy and untapped oil reserves could supply all the energy the world needs. Teller is in Israel to collect the 1975 Harvey Award for his work on the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
Government officials in Jerusalem said Israel had offered a withdrawal from the western portion of the Sinai mountain passes and a corridor leading to the Abu Rudeis oilfield as part of a new interim agreement with Egypt that would last three to four years. In return, Israel would retain control of the eastern ends of the passes and access to electronic surveillance stations in the Gidi Pass. Many expected that the initial Egyptian reply would he negative but felt that the proposal might open the way to an agreement.
A parliamentary committee overturned last week’s surprise vote to boost the Israeli defense budget by about $82 million. The effect of the latest vote was to restore the original defense budget of about $35 billion. Last week’s vote had been an embarrassment to the government.
Machine-gun and rocket fire shattered the three-week calm in Beirut’s suburbs, claiming at least two lives and leaving several people injured. One of the dead was a Palestinian guerrilla officer — a member of a joint Palestinian-Lebanese security patrol which battled to restore order among left- and right-wing Lebanese political factions and the Palestinians.
India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was allowed to keep her office pending a review of her corruption conviction by that nation’s Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of India ruled that Indira Gandhi could continue as Prime Minister for the near future but could not vote in Parliament pending the court’s full review of her appeal of a lower-court conviction on charges of electoral corruption. Her party urged her to remain in office hut opposition leaders said they would stage a nationwide campaign of passive resistance unless she stepped down.
Thai officials said that a 40‐man Cambodian patrol crossed into Thailand early today and exchanged shots with border policemen. Thai officers at Surin, 200 miles northeast of Bangkok, reported no casualties in the shooting. They indicated that there had been several other small border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia in the two months since the Communist rebel forces took power in Phnom Penh.
Self‐reliance and nationalism are the keynotes of the official doctrine being preached by the Communist‐led Pathet Lao now that its long struggle for control has been won. Diplomats who have been scanning published statements, listening to Vientiane broadcasts and those of the Pathet Lao’s station in its original zone of control and comparing impressions of conversations with officials have concluded that neither North Vietnam nor China nor the Soviet Union gets much mention. The principal Pathet Lao propaganda official, who prefers not to have his name used, always refers to the movement he represents to as patriotic and nationalist rather than Communist. Asked about China and North Vietnam as possible models for the construction of the new society proclaimed by the Pathet Lao, he replied, “We cannot speak of any model.”
The Soviet Union plans to mark the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean war tomorrow by opening a one‐month campaign against the continued presence of American troops in South Korea and in favor of “peaceful, democratic” reunification of the country. The announcement of the campaign in today’s edition on the government newspaper Izvestia seemed to imply that the Soviet Union had now committed itself against the use of force in Korea. At the same time, the Moscow Government continued to place the entire blame for the Korean war and for continued current tension in Korea on the United States.
A top State Department official expressed unhappiness today with the deprivation of human rights in South Korea and the Philippines, but he said that for security reasons the United States would continue Its support of both allies. Appearing before a House International Relations subcommittee studying the two countries, Philip C. Habib, Assistant Secretary for East Asia and, Pacific Affairs, went further than any other senior official in criticizing the South Korean and Philippine governments.
Chinese in 12 provinces have begun the widespread use of swamp gas as a source of domestic fuel, the People’s Daily reported in a story on the problems of fuel in rural areas. In Szechuan Province, the newspaper wrote, more than 410,000 methane gas generating septic tanks are in continual operation. A 350-cubic-foot generator costing about $25 is adequate to supply gas for the cooking and lighting of a family of five, the paper said. Besides saving in fuel costs, the generators, in extracting methane, transform human feces, guano and animal manure into highquality fertilizer.
The Philippines could become a major transit point in the international traffic of heroin and other dangerous drugs, the anti-narcotics unit of the national police warned in Manila. The chief of the unit, Colonel Bienvenido Felix, said the pattern of narcotics smuggling in Southeast Asia had been disrupted and was likely to change due to the phased American withdrawal from the area and the enactment of stiff narcotics laws in Hong Kong and Singapore.
The diplomatic stalemate between Britain and Uganda over the fate of Denis Cecil Hills continued today despite discussion here over diplomatic tactics and two messages from Uganda’s President Idi Amin. Mr. Hills is a Briton and lecturer in Uganda who is scheduled to be executed July 4 for critical remarks he wrote about General Amin in an unpublished manuscript. The first message, a letter to Queen Elizabeth from General Amin, was carried here this morning by Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair and Major lain Grahame, the two envoys who flew to Uganda last week in an unsuccessful effort to persuade the African leader to spare Mr. Hills’s life.
A Rhodesian Cabinet minister and five other white Members of Parliament have just paid a secret visit to Zambia and had talks with President Kenneth D. Kaunda, it was disclosed by the Government today.
Eastern Air Lines Flight 66 from New Orleans crashed while attempting to land at the JFK Airport in New York during a thunderstorm, killing 113 of the 124 people on board. The Boeing 727 was running 25 minutes late as it made its approach at 4:08 pm into a thunderstorm, then crashed a half-mile short of the runway, near Rockaway Boulevard and Brookville Boulevard in the Rosedale neighborhood of Queens. To the horror of rescuers, scores of residents of Rosedale descended on the scene to loot jewelry, money and other valuables from the scattered luggage, and even from the victims’ bodies. Meteorologist Ted Fujita’s research of the disaster led to his discovery of microbursts, sudden downdrafts of wind at high speed. A week after the crash, tape recordings from air traffic control showed that a few minutes before the tower cleared Flight 66 to land on Runway 22L, the pilot of an air freighter, that had just landed on the same runway, radioed that “I just highly recommend that you change runways and land northwest. You have such a tremendous wind shear near the ground on the final.” It was the first major airline disaster in the New York area since February 8, 1965, when an Eastern DC-7B went down in the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from Kennedy, causing the loss of 84 lives.
President Ford vetoed a $1.2 billion emergency housing measure, contending that it would damage both the housing industry and the economy. At the same time he ordered the immediate release of $2 billion for government purchase of home mortgages at subsidized rates. He also asked Congress to authorize $7.75 billion for the existing mortgage assistance program. He called these steps the best way to meet current housing problems.
A bill to increase the federal debt limit by $46 billion to a record $577 billion through November 15 was passed by the House, 223 to 196. It was sent to the Senate, where backers hope to gain quick action because the current $531 billion limit is due to drop to $400 billion next week. The Ford Administration backs the bill. Actual debt at the end of the month is expected to be $533 billion. On June 16 a bill to increase the limit to $599.99 billion through June 30, 1976, was killed by the House.
Rejecting efforts to scrap the Selective Service System and what was described as a $33.4 billion housing subsidy program, the House approved and sent to the Senate a $56.8 billion appropriations bill. It would furnish money for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and 12 independent agencies. The amendment by Rep. Leo J. Ryan (D-California) to abolish the Selective Service System because of President Ford’s statement that the all-volunteer military is a success was rejected by voice vote. Rep. Edward P. Boland (D-Massachusetts) said the system was still needed to register 18-year-olds and reinstitute the standby draft in an emergency.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation produced a flurry of anonymous letters and spurious “publications” during the late nineteen‐sixties that it hoped would cost political activists their jobs, disrupt their personal lives and temper their opposition to the Vietnam war, according to confidential FBI documents made public today. In one case, a Texas schoolteacher was dismissed from her post after FBI agents had her superiors informed that she had once sought public office as a candidate of the Socialist Workers party. The documents, part of the FBI’s Cointelpro counterintelligence operation, were obtained by the Socialist Workers in connection with the party’s lawsuit against the Justice Department, and were made available to reporters and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities.
The Air Force said the cause of the disastrous C-5 transport plane crash during the Vietnam orphan lift was unrelated to an earlier pressure-door problem. The Air Force has not covered up any safety hazard on the C-5, it said in a statement. It came after Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin) charged that the Air Force had known as long ago as 1971 that each of the planes contained a safety hazard blamed for the crash that killed 155 persons, most of them children, near Saigon on April 4. An Air Force spokesman said the 1971 problem had been a mechanism entirely separate from the locks that came open during the Saigon crash.
[Ed: Bill Proxmire was a grandstanding fucking idiot who needed to be horse whipped every time he opened his mouth. Sorry / Not Sorry.]
President Ford said the Republican Party had made one of the most amazing recoveries in American history since he entered the White House. He did not mention Watergate nor the fact that Richard M. Nixon resigned as President last August. Speaking to several hundred members of Republican National Associates and party officials at a White House reception, Mr. Ford said he believed the principles and policies of the party were “really what most Americans believe in.”
George Meany, the top spokesman for organized labor warned today that the continuing high unemployment deemed acceptable by the Ford Administration “can tear this country apart” and called for a crash program to create jobs. Speaking at a national con ference on full employment, Mr. Meany, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, accused the Administration of “callous disregard for the misery and suffering of our nation’s unemployed.” Mr. Meany joined other labor and minority group leaders and public officials in assailing Administration policies that would accept a high rate of joblessness for the rest of this decade and in demanding action designed to produce full employment.
Food middlemen narrowed their share of the consumer food dollar in May for the second consecutive month, the Agriculture Department said. A report showed that the retail gain in May of 0.5% would have been greater if middlemen had not reacted to rising farm prices — primarily for livestock — by reducing their margins 1.7%. Average farmer returns rose 3.7% in May, following a 2.7% April increase, and were 9.4% above a year earlier.
Talks aimed at ending a five-day newspaper strike in Philadelphia got under way only hours after the strike temporarily spread to all three city papers when the Evening Bulletin published on its front page the nameplates of its two strikebound competitors-the morning Inquirer and the afternoon Daily News. Bulletin pressmen refused to print the paper carrying the struck logotypes until after talks with Bulletin executives. The Inquirer and the Daily News, owned by the Knight-Ridder chain, have not published since before the weekend because their mailers, who wrap the papers, walked off the job amid contract talks.
John Roselli, a former member of the Al Capone gang, told a closed meeting of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that the Central Intelligence Agency had recruited him in a plot to kill Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba, according to committee members. He was said to have filled in details without departing from previously published press reports about the plot.
United States Attorneys in Newark, New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles who have been investigating payola in the record industry have obtained indictments of 19 persons, including the presidents of Gamble-Huff Records, The Brunswick Record Corporation and Arista Records. The indictments include illegal payments to radio station personnel, income-tax evasion, mail fraud and also the interstate transportation of stolen goods.
Governor Carey of New York formally asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations that, while in Congress, he had used his influence to help his brother’s oil company with a lucrative oil contract. He noted that the story persisted after his public statement that newspaper reports of the allegations were unfounded.
Two of the largest international grain companies and an American affiliate of a third company are undergoing investigations as part of the spreading inquiry into the United States grain export trade, according to sources close to the inquiry. They are the Bunge Corporation, Cook Industries, Inc., and Mississippi River Grain Elevator, Inc., which is owned by Serafino Ferruzzi, an Italian financier.
Thousands of wild goats are again being rounded up and sold as part of a U.S. Navy project to save unique native plants endangered by the animals on San Clemente Island. To date, 6,500 of the animals have been shipped to Long Beach for sale later at stockyards in Ontario, according to Jan K. Larson, a wildlife biologist advising the Navy on the project. Larson said the goats, believed to have been introduced onto the 21-milelong island by Portuguese fishermen in the 1880s, have already eliminated eight plant species and are threatening another eight plant species endemic to the island. The eventual aim of the program is to eliminate the goats, as well as wild pigs and some deer, from the island by 1976.
If present noise levels in 19 major industries continue, 1.68 million workers will suffer hearing losses. according to a study for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in Washington. Reducing noise levels in these industries to 90 decibels would lessen the number of workers suffering hearing loss by 700,000, while reducing noise to 85 decibels would save the hearing of 1.47 million workers, the study said. Costs of the reductions would be $13.5 billion for 90 decibels and $31.6 billion for 85 decibels.
Major League Baseball:
In Atlanta, Joe Morgan lofts a 3–run homer off Phil Niekro to account for all the scoring and three pitchers combined on a shutout as the Reds beat the Braves, 3–0. Morgan’s smash in the third inning came with two out after Phil Niekro had walked Bill Plummer and Pete Rose.
Calling upon a pair of 21-year-old pitchers, Larry Christenson and Tom Underwood, the Phillies defeated the Pirates in both ends of a twi-night doubleheader, 6–3 and 8–1. The Pirates, who had a homer by Dave Parker, held a 2–1 lead against Christenson in the opener before the Phillies rallied for three runs off Jerry Reuss in the sixth. Mike Schmidt doubled and when Rennie Stennett made a late throw to third on a grounder by Greg Luzinski, both runners were safe. Ollie Brown doubled, driving in Schmidt. Taking third on the throw home, Brown scored on a squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. Rain caused a 59-minute delay after the seventh inning and Tug McGraw came in to finish the game for Christenson. The Phils iced their victory with two runs in the eighth on a single by Dick Allen, a sacrifice and singles by Jerry Martin and Mike Anderson. Underwood pitched the route in the nightcap and breezed to victory after the Phillies scored four runs in the first.

An error by Richie Hebner and single by Underwood added two runs before the frame ended. Bob Robertson hit a homer for the Pirates’ only tally.
The Cubs went on their best scoring spree so far this season and rolled over the Expos, 13–6. Six of their runs crossed the plate in the third inning after Bill Bonham singled and Rob Sperring and Jose Cardenal walked to load the bases. A sacrifice fly by Bill Madlock and single by Jerry Morales produced first two runs of outburst. Rick Monday singled to reload bases, Andre Thornton doubled, driving in two runs, and two more followed on singles by Manny Trillo and Tim Hosley.

The Padres got great pitching performances from Randy Jones and Brent Strom to defeat the Giants in both games of a twi-night doubleheader, 2–1 and 3–0, with the opener going 10 innings. Jones gave up 11 hits, but the Giants scored only on a homer by Bobby Murcer in the sixth inning. The Padres, who counted their first run on a double by Fred Kendall in the second, broke a tie in the 10th after Enzo Hernandez singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Jones.

Andy Etchebarren homered for the Angels in the second, but the Royals took a 3–1 lead in the fourth on singles by Amos Otis and Bob Stinson, a double by Fred Patek and single by Wohlford. The Angels tied the score in the seventh. Rudy Meoli walked and Billy Smith singled. With two out, Mickey Rivers singled, driving in Meoli, and when Wohlford overthrew third base, Smith counted the tying run on the outfielder’s error.
The Athletics took advantage of Joe Decker’s wildness and scored four runs in the first inning en route to a 6–4 victory over the Twins. Bert Campaneris led off with a single and Decker then walked four of the next five batters, forcing in two runs before being lifted, marking the third straight time that the Twins’ righthander had been kayoed in the first inning. After Vic Albury relieved, a single by Sal Bando and sacrifice fly by Billy Williams added two runs. The Twins chased Stan Bahnsen in the fifth, scoring three times on three walks and singles by Glenn Borgmann and Johnny Briggs, but Jim Todd pitched two-hit relief the rest of the way, allowing one unearned run.
