Fugitive Patricia Hearst was captured in San Francisco. Hearst, granddaughter of publisher William Randolph Hearst and heiress to a newspaper fortune, had been kidnapped from her apartment on February 4, 1974 by an American terrorist group that called itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. By April, she had joined her kidnappers, and participated in crimes as she eluded capture for 19 months. Earlier in the day, the FBI had captured two of the original kidnappers, William Harris and Emily Harris, who had been out jogging; Hearst, and fellow SLA member Wendy Yoshimura, were captured at an apartment on 425 Morse Street. Former kidnap victim Patty Hearst would be convicted on March 20, 1976, of bank robbery. She would be released from a federal prison in Pleasanton, California, on February 1, 1979, days after U.S. President Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence, and would be granted a full pardon by U.S. President Bill Clinton on his final morning in office, on January 20, 2001.
She didn’t look like the focus of a nationwide search. She didn’t look like an heiress. She looked, instead, like someone who might stand unnoticed in an all‐night cafeteria. Patricia Campbell Hearst walked back into the eyes of the world at 5:01 this afternoon wearing dirty rubber sandals, khaki corduroys and a purple T‐shirt. She was chewing gum. And she smiled a lot. She acted as if this was, perhaps, a casual gathering of a few friends, and not an appearance before a Federal magistrate with 250 strangers staring at her and about 500 more crowded into the corridor outside. It was one year, seven months and 14 days after she was kidnapped by a band of young people who called themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army and after she began to emerge as a figure of national, even international, notoriety.
It was also two and a half hours after this famous fugitive and revolutionary convert had been arrested. United States District Courtroom No. 12 was crowded with reporters and law students, clerks and secretaries, lawyers and Federal marshals. The aisles were filled, and the room was noisy. When the door in the front by the judge’s bench opened yet again, it promised no immediate excitement hecause the three persons who walked in appeared so nondescript. They were a large muscular man, a tall woman and what, at first glance, seemed to he a young girl, a teenager at best, and sloppy. But suddenly, the girlish face began to look familiar, began to take on the features of the famous posters — the large nose, the pointed chin, the little mouth of Patty Hearst. She walked toward her seat. She wore tortoise‐shell sunglasses. Her shirt was baggy. She wore no brassiere. Her hips swung. She chewed her gum jauntily. She looked carefree and relaxed. Then, abruptly, she gave the clenched‐fist salute to the courtroom and smiled broadly, but there was no response from the crowd. She did not appear to notice.
United States diplomats will return to the Vienna conference on reduction of military forces in central Europe later this month with some new hope for progress, but also with somewhat less negotiating flexibility than they expected. “We are hopeful that with the Helsinki security conference out of the way the focus will turn more to M.B.F.R.,” said Stanley R. Resor, the chief American negotiator, using the Western acronym for the talks on mutual and balanced reduction of forces. He noted that the Soviet Union and its allies had made clear that progress in the talks. which had been deadlocked, would come only after the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was concluded in July. However, one of Mr. Resor’s superiors at the State Department said he would be: returning to Vienna “with essentially the same negotiating position” taken at the last session of the 19‐nation meeting in July.
Portugal’s Communists abandoned their fight today for greater representation in the prospective military-civilian Cabinet, apparently opening the way to its completion shortly. The Communists had been demanding that they be given as many ministries as the Popular Democrats, a Social Democratic party. But the Popular Delhocrats, smarting under Communist accusations that they constituted a rightist, counterrevolutionary force, remained firm in their demands, that they outnumber the Communists in the same way as they outnumbered them in the elections for a constitutent assembly held last April. In that election, the Socialists, polled 38 percent of the votes, the Popular Democrats 26 percent and the Communists 12.5 percent. The rest went to splinter parties. An editorial in the Communist weekly, Avante, said the new government, “despite the personality of the Premierdesignate, represents a turn to the right.” The editorial warned that the people would support or oppose it depending on what it did and explained that the Communists had decided to cooperate because “the alternative would have been not a government of the left but a government openly rightist.”
A British Labor member of Parliament said he plans to introduce a bill to strip Britain’s rich tax exiles of their citizenship. Robert Kilroy-Silk said he will put forward the measure when the House of Commons reconvenes next month. The legislation is aimed at a long list of pop stars and other celebrities who live abroad to escape taxation in Britain.
Hard-line Protestant party chiefs in Belfast firmly ruled out any discussions with the Roman Catholic minority on proposals for a coalition government to resolve the province’s bloody sectarian and political conflicts. The decision, which has produced a deep split in the Protestant ranks, was seen as snuffing out any lingering hopes that the British-inspired constitutional convention on Northern Ireland’s future could work out an acceptable form of government to replace direct British rule. Meanwhile, the violence continued as two gunmen shot and killed a Roman Catholic in Belfast.
Britain overcame Romanian hesitations to secure a written commitment that the Bucharest government will promote freer movement and contacts between ordinary people across East-West frontiers. It was the first time Britain had secured such a commitment from an individual Communist country since the 35-nation European security conference ended at Helsinki seven weeks ago with a general endorsement for freer human contacts. The pledge was included in a joint declaration signed by British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu.
Economists from various nations say that while the proposals on economic development made by the United States at the recent special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations have already had a dramatic political impact, their concrete economic effect will be slight.
Israeli soldiers this week cleared antitank minefields from this area, which is to be the first to be evacuated under the new interim agreement with Egypt. And barbed‐wire entanglements that had surrounded the minefields were gathered today and trucked to a new front. An officer said his men completed the removal of tens of thousands of mines yesterday. The Israelis are already packing even though the interim agreement requiring their evacuation is not yet official. The agreement says the accord is to take force after a joint working group of Israelis and Egyptians in Geneva agrees on details and signs a protocol. The 90‐mile strip along the Gulf of Suez, the first area scheduled for evacuation, is to come under Egyptian civilian administration. The region includes the Abu Rudeis complex of four oilfields that has been providing Israel with more than half her oil.
The Israel Supreme Court upheld a 12-year prison sentence against the former director of the Israel-British bank in Tel Aviv, Yehishua Ben Zion, and added a fine of 25 million Israeli pounds (about $4.2 million). The court was ruling on an appeal against the sentence imposed last January when the Tel Aviv district court found him guilty of embezzling more than $40 million in bank funds. The Supreme Court said he had acted in an irresponsible manner in his control of the bank, which went bankrupt.
While the Lebanese government remained divided on whether to use troops to restore order, rival gangs of Christians and Muslims battled with automatic weapons, mortars and rockets in Beirut tonight. Heavy firing had broken out early today and continued through much of the day. A cease‐fire was worked out, to start at 4 PM, but it broke down an hour later. At nightfall, explosions were heard in the eastern half of the city. President Suleiman Franjieh, a Maronite Christian, favors calling in the Army, but Premier Rashid Karami, a Muslim, believes that would make matters worse. In the heart of the downtown area, one of the city’s most popular movie theaters, the Rivoli, was in flames. The building housing it belongs to a Muslim philanthropic association. As in previous eruptions of factional fighting in Lebanon, it was unclear what had led to the latest expansion of violence in Beirut.
One explanation, given by some Lebanese and foreign sources, is that the Phalangist party, one of the country’s principal Christian political groups, had summoned numbers of its armed supporters into Beirut; from the mountains east of the capital in the last few days. The reinforcements prompted Moslem leftists to mobilize, these informants said, and soon both sides were erecting barricades and bombarding each other with ammunition they had been stocking since the last round of fighting here late, in June. As a result of the latest fighting, police sources reported, at least 30 people have been killed and scores of others wounded in the last 24 hours. The government‐run radio warned people that all roads in the city were unsafe.
Jordan rejected conditions set by President Ford for the sale of Hawk antiaircraft missiles as “insulting to national dignity” and indicated she might buy Soviet surface-to-air missiles instead. Premier Zaid Rifai said that he had informed the United States Ambassador, Thomas Pickering, that Jordan would “regretfully decline to sign the Hawk missile contract under the conditions and limitations contained in President Ford’s message to Congress.” In the message, Mr. Ford assured Congressional critics that the 14 missile batteries in the proposed $260‐million deal would be stationary and could not be used by a multinational force. Congress had demanded the guarantees so that the Hawks could not be moved within range of Israel or used by an Arab alliance against Israel. “Jordan regards these limitations as unique and insulting to Jordan’s national dignity,” Mr. Rifai’s statement said. It specifically rejected Mr. Ford’s pledge that the Hawks would be used only as “defensive and nonmobile antiaircraft weapons” and that Jordan would be banned from placing them under any binational or multinational military force.
Iran dissociated itself from oil cartel extremists and said it would support a modest oil price increase when the 14-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries met next week in Vienna. Iranian Ambassador Ardeshir Zahedi at a luncheon in Washington predicted only a 5% to 10% increase, saying a substantial hike “could cripple” some European countries and jeopardize the “billion people in the world dying of hunger and disease.”
The Government of India today sharply rebuked President Ford for his criticism of the state of emergency under which thousands of political dissidents have been arrested in this country. In a strongly worded statement that appeared to presage at least a temporary new chill in relations between India and the United States, the Ministry of External Affairs said: “It is amazing that the President of the United States has chosen to comment on the internal affairs of a friendly country without due appreciation of the issues involved. The comments of the President have naturally evoked strong feelings among the Indian people.” The statement, which came one month after the disclosure that President Ford had abruptly canceled a visit to India that had been tentatively scheduled for the fall, was in response to his remark earlier this week that the state of emergency here was “a very sad development.”
Serious production problems have been discovered in connection with the crude oil from China and the Thai Government has suspended all barter deals involving the Chinese oil. Oil‐industry technicians here have discovered that while the Chinese crude has a very low sulfur content and hence is very valuable for use in high pollution areas, it also has a very high wax content that makes processing almost impossible in refineries not specifically equipped to handle it. Oil‐industry officials here said that similar problems have been discovered by oil technologists in the Philippines seeking to handle the Chinese product; and, accordin,g to one official, in several cases accumulations of the wax and solidification of the crude oil itself in pipelines completely “gummed up the works.” Recently a report in the quarterly magazine Foreign Policy predicted that by 1988 China would be producing more oil than Saudi Arabia, which is about three billion barrels a year. Last year China’s total output was about 475 million barrels.
Puerto Rico began digging out today from the mud and rubble left by Tropical Storm Eloise, which caused 28 fatalities and at least $60-million in damage to the island. “Puerto Rico is in mourning,” said Governor Rafael Hernández Colón, who petitioned President Ford today to declare the island a Federal disaster area. Officials believe the full extent of the damage, produced largely by torrential rains and flooding, will not be known until later because 21 of the island’s 77 towns and cities have been cut off from telephone communication with the outside. Only the northern, more urban area, including San Juan, escaped serious damage. Otherwise, a clear trail of destruction, including bridges and homes, cars smashed into trees, living rooms filled with mud, and dead animals and people, was visible from Fajardo on the east coast to Mayaguez on the west.
An Eritrean claiming to be a spokesman for the Marxist Popular Liberation Forces said that two American and six Ethiopian technicians seized in Asmara last Friday were being taken to the group’s base in northern Eritrea. The two Americans abducted from the Kagnew communication base would join two others kidnaped July 14, the unidentified Eritrean said. Earlier, the Eritrean Liberation Front had claimed responsibility for Friday’s abductions.
Brigadier General Omar Torrijos, Panama’s head of government, has called for a full public account of the talks on a new canal treaty despite repeated insistence on secrecy from the American side. Gen Torrijos’ order followed resentment in Panama City over a statement two days ago by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, who said the United States wanted to retain indefinitely its unilateral right to defend the canal and the surrounding U.S. administered zone.
The Senate voted to limit pay increases for members of Congress and 3.5 million other federal employees to the 5 percent proposed by President Ford. The vote followed the rejection of a resolution, by a vote of 53 to 39, that would have vetoed Mr. Ford’s 5 percent and automatically substituted salary raises of 8.66 percent, effective October 1. The final decision on the size of the increase now rests with the House. The 8.66 percent figure was recommended by Mr. Ford’s advisers as the amount needed to make the salaries of Federal white‐collar workers comparable with the pay of those workers in private industry. However, the President rejected the proposal as being inflationary and asked instead for a 5 percent raise.
The House Ways and Means Committee approved today a change in the tax laws that would terminate, almost without exception, the ability of high‐income individuals to escave all federal income taxes. The one exception would be a person who has all or almost all of his income from the interest on tax‐exempt municipal bonds. These persons, believed to be a handful in number, would continue to be exempt under the committee’s bill and would also continue to be exempt from the revised version of the “minimum tax.” The minimum tax, first adopted in 1969, was designed, at that time to prohibit complete escape of Federal income taxes by high‐income individuals, but it has not worked as planned. As of 1973, the latest year, for which statistics are available, 26,382 individuals were subject to the minimum tax, which raised a total of $182‐million in additional Federal income taxes. Under the provisions adopted by the Ways and Means panel, an estimated 80,000 persons will have to pay the minimum tax, and the total amount of minimum tax paid will increase by an estimated $700‐million.
President Ford will visit California tomorrow in his first return to the state since a pistol was pointed at him two weeks ago in Sacramento. Security arrangements for the weekend visit were officially described as routine, but there were indications that the Sacramento episode had left some state and Federal law enforcement officials more apprehensive than usual about protecting the President. Lynette Alice Fromme, a onetime follower of Charles M. Manson, the convicted mass murderer, has been charged with attempting to assassinate Mr. Ford on September 5 as the President shook hands with a crowd outside the state Capitol. The authorities said the 26‐year‐old woman pointed a .45‐caliber pistol at the President before a Secret Service agent disarmed her. The incident has since caused the authorities to reevaluate the list of persons who might be considered a potential danger to the President in California where political and social extremists flourish. “There are so many flaky people in this state,” an official in Sacramento remarked the other day, “that any list would reach from here to the Mexican border.”
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said negotiators had made “genuine progress” on a grain agreement with the Soviet Union that an Administration source said would provide the Russians 5 million to 8 million metric tons a year. Butz told the House Agriculture Committee that more discussions would be necessary with U.S. labor leaders and grain dealers before a final solution of the grain-sale controversy could be worked out. In disclosing the range of amounts of grain the agreement would cover, the Administration source said that “most people are talking in terms of a five-year agreement.” In his testimony, Butz said the Russians might also be in the market later this year for rice and soybeans, but he did not say in what quantity.
Resettlement of Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees who fled their homelands last spring passed the 100,000 mark this week, the Ford Administration announced today. Julia Vadala Taft, director of the Interagency Task Force for Indochina Refugees, said at a news conference that she expected the resettlement program to be concluded by mid-December. Mrs. Taft said that the rapid pace of resettlement in this country had been made possible by the quick response to appeals for sponsorships of individual refugees. “This reflects very favorably on the generosity of the American people,” she said.
The Government opened its case today in Federal District Court against Frank DeMarco Jr., the lawyer accused of preparing false documents to give President Nixon a substantial tax deduction on a donation of his Vice-Presidential papers to the National Archives. Mr. DeMarco, former law partner of Herbert W. Kalmbach, Mr. Nixon’s former personal attorney, is accused of making false statements to Internal Revenue Service agents and of obstructing a Congressional inquiry into Mr. Nixon’s tax returns for the years 1969 to 1972. Mr. DeMarco, who is 49 years old, could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison and fined $15,000 if convicted of both charges.
Ed (Possum Slim) Myers, 105, who killed a woman in Sorrento, Florida, in an argument over money, was sentenced to 15 years probation and told never to return to Lake County, even for church services. “All I want to do is go home,” said Myers, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the June 7 shooting of Louise Stewart, 51. Myers said he shot her after she invited him to a birthday party and then stole part of his Social Security money.
Joseph Kallinger was found guilty in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, of robbing four women with his 12-year-old son last December 3. The $20,000 robbery was one of a series of crimes allegedly committed by a man-and-boy team in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. The prosecution had charged that Kallinger grabbed and tied up the women at a bridge party and then robbed them of cash and jewelry. Kallinger’s attorney had argued that the 38-year-old Philadelphia shoemaker was either insane at the time of the robbery or was affected by chemical fumes from materials used in his shop. Kallinger also faces a murder charge in Bergen County, New Jersey, and a variety of other charges in New Jersey and Maryland.
An assertion by the lawyer for one of the accused kidnappers of Samuel Bronfman 2d that the heir to the Seagram whisky fortune masterminded his own abduction was characterized today by District Attorney Carl A. Vergari as “absurd and ridiculous.” The original claim was made in Westchester County Court yesterday by William K. Madden of Garden City, who recently took over the defense of Mel Patrick Lynch, who is accused with Dominic Byrne of kidnapping Mr. Bronfman last month for $2.3‐million. Mr. Madden said that they 21‐year‐old Mr. Bronfman, who was found unharmed after nine days, met Mr. Lynch in a Manhattan bar near Second Avenue and 79th Street in June, 1974, and became sympathetic with Mr. Lynch’s desire to help support a united Ireland.
[Ed: Shortly before his death, Peter DeBlasio, attorney for another of the accused men, self-published a 2020 memoir, “Let Justice Be Done,” confessing that during the trial he had been aware the defense was a lie and that Bronfman had been an innocent victim. However, the jury bought the ridiculous lie, and returned a verdict of not guilty on the kidnapping charge. A jury is twelve people not smart enough to get out of jury duty, after all.]
A psychologist and sex expert testified that homosexual T. Sgt. Leonard P. Matlovich has “an extraordinarily stable degree of mental health” and is completely fit to remain in the Air Force. John William Money, a professor of medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, told a three-officer administrative discharge board at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, that Matlovich had shown great emotional stamina in a two-day battery of psychological tests and interviews. The board is to decide if Matlovich should become the first known exception to the U.S. military’s ban on gays.
Dr. Bernard Finch and his medical partner have been suspended from certain privileges at the Cedar County Memorial Hospital in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, for violation of hospital rules. Finch was suspended for taking patients’ charts home to complete them. Dr. Harry Langeluttig said he was suspended for starting a hysterectomy at the hospital without another doctor in the operating room. He said Finch arrived about 10 minutes late. The two now are prohibited for two weeks from performing newly scheduled surgery or admitting patients to the hospital. In 1961 Finch was convicted in California of the first-degree murder of his wife. He moved to El Dorado four years ago after he was paroled and managed to win back his license.
A Department of Defense engineer testified that Army scientists secretly spread simulated biological poison on two subway lines in Manhattan in the mid-1960’s to test the vulnerability of New York City’s subway system to a biological warfare attack. Charles Senseney, the engineer, told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that he had participated in the New York “vulnerability study,” one of many such studies, he said, that tested the dangers of biological warfare.
The National Football League strike ended in a temporary agreement between the N.F.L. Players Association and management, and the season will open on schedule Sunday. The truce followed a promise by the N.F.L. Management Council, representing the 26 owners, to make a substantial contract offer by Monday. Management also promised that there would be no reprisals against the New England Patriots, who started the strike.
Major League Baseball:
After scoring their first three runs on homers, the Reds counted in the 10th inning on a walk to Pete Rose and singles by Tony Perez and Bill Plummer to defeat the Braves, 4-3, for their 100th victory of the season. George Foster and Dan Driessen hit the Reds’ first two homers consecutively in the fourth to tie the score at 2-2. Perez followed with a round-tripper in the fifth. Pedro Borbon (9–5) got the win.
Dave Kingman broke the Mets’ club record for homers with his 35th of the season, hitting it with Rusty Staub on base in the ninth inning to beat the Cubs, 7-5. The Cubs knocked out Hank Webb before the Mets’ starter could retire a batter in the first inning and jumped off to a 4-0 lead. The Mets, who had a two-run homer by Staub in the fifth, finally tied the score at 5-5 in the eighth.
Turning in his first shutout of the season, Steve Renko (6–12) pitched the Expos to a 5-0 victory over the Cardinals. The triumph was only his sixth of the year, but third straight against the Redbirds. The Expos’ attack included homers by Gary Carter and Pete Mackanin.
Four-hit pitching by Steve Carlton (14–13), plus an attack that included homers by Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski, enabled the Phillies to keep their East Division hopes alive with a 4-1 victory over the Pirates. Rennie Stennett, who tripled and scored the Pirates’ run in the first inning, added a later single and tied the National League record for most hits in three consecutive games, 12. The Phillies tied the score in their half of the first on a single by Dave Cash, double by Larry Bowa and sacrifice fly by Jay Johnstone. Schmidt hit his homer in the second and the Phillies made it 3-1 in the third when Bowa singled, stole second and counted on a single by Johnstone. Luzinski wrapped up the victory with his circuit clout in the fifth.
Boog Powell hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning and followed with a homer in the fourth to provide the Indians with a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. Dan Meyer homered for the Tigers’ tally in the seventh.
Taking advantage of two errors by Eddie Bane, the Royals scored twice in the seventh inning and defeated the Twins, 4-3. Amos Otis and Harmon Killebrew homered for the Royals’ initial tallies, but the Twins came back to take a 3-2 lead with the aid of a circuit clout by Rod Carew. In the seventh, Killebrew drew a pass from Bane. The Twins’ pitcher then committed throwing errors on two consecutive plays, loading the bases. Vada Pinson delivered a sacrifice fly to plate the tying run and Otis followed with a single for the winning marker. Future Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew hits his 573rd and final career home run. Playing for the Kansas City Royals, Killebrew homers vs his longtime team, the Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis, where he played most of his major league career. Killebrew’s blast his 14th, came off Eddie Bane, in the 2nd inning; it was a solo shot.
Catcher Andy Etchebarren supplied the batting support for Frank Tanana (16–8) to enable the Angels’ lefthander to defeat the Rangers, 5-3. Tanana struck out 10, raising his season’s total to 252. Etchebarren homered with two men on base in the sixth inning and singled and scored in the eighth when the Angels added their other runs. Jim Fregosi hit a two-run homer for the Rangers in the ninth.
The Athletics were forced to call on five pitchers before posting a 7-6 victory over the White Sox to reduce their magic number to three for clinching the West Division title. The White Sox built up a 4-2 lead, but failed to hold it. The A’s tied the score with two runs in the fourth inning on a single by Bert Campaneris, triple by Phil Garner and double by Sal Bando. Two more runs followed in the fifth on a double by Gene Tenace, an infield out that moved Tenace to third, a walk, wild pitch and single by Garner. The A’s then added what proved to be their winning run in the seventh when Tenace walked and Ray Fosse tripled. Jim Todd, who followed Dick Bosman, Sonny Siebert and Paul Lindblad to the mound, was the winner. Rollie Fingers, who relieved in the ninth, gave up a homer by Jorge Orta before retiring the side and receiving credit for his 23rd save.
