Jaworski describes testimony
WASHINGTON (UPF)—Keeping his witness list a secret, special counsel Leon Jaworski said yesterday the House Ethics Committee's hearings on Korean lobbying would produce testimony on what the project involved.
But Jaworski said the hearings, scheduled to run today through Friday, would not include any effort to name specific members of Congress who might be implicated, "because we're not at that point vet."
owners close to the months-long investigation said no further hearings are planned before January.
Although Jaworski refused to divulge his witness list, other sources said the initial testimony probably will come from:
- Nan Elder, a secretary to Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan., who has said a Korean
embassy official gave Winn an envelope filled with $10 bills a few years ago, and she returned the money at Winn's in-house office that had been subpoenaed to testify today.
- KIM SANG KEUN, the Korean CIA's No. 2 agent in Washington until he asked for and got political assumption here last fall, and it turned out that he was involved to Koreans involved in clandestine lobbying operations. This would be his first public testimony after cooperating with U.S. authorities for months, and he is being investigated by or recording during his appearance.
- Lee Jal Hyon, former chief cultural and information officer at the Korean embassy, has said he saw an ambassador patting student Billy Hill in HILI. In 1973, Lee quashed his post soon after and teaches journalism at Western Illinois University.
B. Y. Lee, a long-time employee of Tongman Park, the warmly rice dealer and former Washington socialist indicted under the Justice Department's allegations of the alleged Capitol Hill bribery effort.
Park has refused to leave Seoul.
The aim of this initial round of hearings is to lay out a blueprint of the alleged government plan to influence U.S. policy in the 1970s by targeting corporate companies with cash payoffs, gifts, free travel and entertainment or various other favors.
"I THINK THERE'S going to be evidence produced . . . that is going to be very revealing and meaningful." Jaworski, the former Watergate special counsel, in a phone interview before leaving his Houston law office to fly to Washington.
WASHINGTON (AP)—A Senate committee told Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger yesterday to sell more than $33,000 worth of stock he and his wife hold in an energy-related company. The panel said companies posed a possible conflict of interest.
The committee action came as a House-Senate conference committee began work on a compromise energy bill and as President Jimmy Carter declared that the national Congress and of his first year domestic program lunged on the energy bill to come.
Energy committee orders Schlesinger to sell stock
The energy committee gave Schlesinger nine months to dispose of 2,100 shares of
stock in the Newhal Land and Farming Company. The stock is worth about $33,600.
The unanimous committee vote followed Schlesinger's disclosure to the panel that there are about 90 producing wells, mostly gas, on 150,000 acres owned by the company.
CARTER, IN AN Oval Office meeting with Rep. Thomas L. Ashley, D-Ohio, predicted that Congress eventually would enact the bulk of his energy program, despite numerous major setbacks in the Senate.
"What we do on energy will determine the success or failure of the year of congressional work, I think, in the minds of the American people," Carter told Ashley.

HE ALSO SCHEDULED meetings yesterday with Sens. Abraham BriCoffe, D-Conn., and Lloyd Bensen, D-Texas. On Monday night, he met for an hour with Sen. Russell Long, D-La., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
It was Long's panel that approved billions of dollars in energy tax incentives for the oil industry but rejected every energy tax proposed by the President. The rejected tax benefits are aimed at industries and utilities that use natural gas and on cars that get poor gasoline mileage.
Hijack victims back home; rescuers praised
BONN, West Germany (AP)—West German commandos and the hijacked hostages they rescued few home to emotional welcomes yesterday, as the government announced a bizarre sequel to the five-day drama—the suicide of three terrorists whose freedom the hijackers had demanded.
Then, early today in northern Italy, powerful explosions wrecked three showrooms for German-made automobiles. Anonymous callers said the bombs were planted in Turin and in Leghorn, 80 miles away, in memory of the terrorists.
"We are proud of you. We thank you in the name of the entire German people," Interior Minister Werner Mähler told about 800 refugees arriving on flights that arrived at the Colonie-College airway.
A BRASS BAND played the national
anthem and hundreds of Germans applauded from the airport terminal. Wives and sweethearts rushed to hug the returning heroes.
Both Long and administration officials hope some of these taxes can be revived by new legislation.
Acting with surgical precision in the predawn darkness at Somalia's Mogadishu airport, the commanders stormed the blackjack Luftmanns 737 through emergency excursion, rescued all 86 hostages aboard and captured the fourth, a woman, who was seriously wounded.
The scene at Frankfurt International Airport was quieter as #8 haggard and somber hostages stepped off a Luthanasia汀 to embrace relatives and hold a memorial in memory of Marion Juergen Schumman. The pilot was murdered by the hijackers the morning before the raid.
AIRLINE OFFICIALS said six rescued hostages remained at Mogadishu, apparently because they were unable to travel.
House to ease funding ban for Communist countries
The measure passed on a 229-196 vote and went to the Senate for what is expected to be held.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The House of Representatives yesterday agreed to compromise with President Jimmy Carter on easing a ban on assistance to Communist countries and approved a $6.7 billion foreign aid appropriation bill.
The House earlier voted to ban all aid, including loans made through international financial organizations, to Cuba, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Mozambique and Angola that produce sugar, palm oil and citrus fruits in competition with American firms.
One bill would fund all economic and military foreign assistance programs in the fiscal year that started Oct. 1. It includes $1.8 billion in security and military aid to Israel, $750 million for Egypt, $300 million for Syria and $224 million for Jordan.
The Senate refused to go along with the ban.
Carter said he supported a ban on direct aid to those nations, but that outlawing indirect assistance would tie his hands on foreign noloye.
Conferences finally accepted a compromise from Carter in which he pleaded in writing to instruct U.S. representatives in matters bodies not to vote for such indirectaet.
NOT IN CONTENTION were other prohibitions in the measure, such as a ban on military aid of any kind for Ethiopia and Uruguay and restrictions on military credit sales for Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador and any other species of alleged violations of human rights there.
The House had voted to sharply cut military help to the Philippines on the same human rights grounds, but it compromised a $1.8 billion in military assistance, $1.8 million in military credit sales and $700,000 for education and training funds for that nation.

Pilots to protest hijacks by striking for two days
★★
LONDON (UPI)—European pilots, led by those in Britain and Scandinavia, said yesterday they would join in a 48-hour general strike next week to pressure the United Nations into taking action against hijackings.
The Scandinavian pilot associations, representing about 1,300 filers in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and the British Airways, announced they would back the strike.
THE WALKOUT was called in response to a five-day, 7,000-mile hijacking in which left-wing guerrilla killers the captain of a Lufthansa jetliner. West German companies planned a plane yesterday, killing three of the four hijackers and freeing all 68 hostages.
"The only thing that will stop it is if we can persuade the United Nations to sign and ratify the three conventions now before them outlawing hijackings," Roy Hutchings, British Airline Pilots Association president said.
U. S. pilots said they were disgusted with U.N. footragging on hijacking actions and appealed to President Jimmy Carter to seek a special session of the General Assembly. They made no decision whether to take part in the protest.
Derry Pearce, president of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association, said the group would cease commercial takeoffs beginning Tuesday.
"We are disagued with the failure of the United Nations to come up with a hijacking convention," a spokesman said. "We are not going to get involved in President to get the United Nations to hold a
general assembly meeting to discuss the antihacking convention."
Earlier yesterday, Carter told congressional leaders at a White House breakfast that largely because of the action taken by the *F*inance Committee, the Senate version of the energy legislation could reduce the number of achieving a balanced federal budget.
According to participants, Carter told the leaders that the energy tax incentives approved by the Senate panel and expected to be implemented would create a budget deficit of $55 billion.
"I think it's legitimate to measure the success of Congress and my own administration, at least in domestic affairs, on what happens to energy," Carter added.
Ashley predicted the final bill would be one that Carter "can take some pride in and can we as well. And we're going to do that." The Ohio Democrat is cochairman of the conference committee that will reconcile Senate differences on the energy legislation.
Carter's meeting with Ashley was one of several sessions he has been holding with
