Peacemakers Investigating 'CopterCrash
SAIGON (AP) — The four-nation International Commission of Control and Supervision began an investigation today into an incident last week in which an officer fatally burned a man who was also fatally burning one American crew member and wounding four others.
The commission's investigation was announced at about the same time that one of the crash's victims, Spec. 5 James L. Scroggins, 25, of Mulberry Grove, III, died at an Army hospital in Okinawa early Friday.
In another development, top representatives in the four-party Joint Military Commission were expected to discuss today the reasons of American prisoner of repatriation.

The bellcopter had landed at An Loc to drop off supplies for a new fieldsite being built for the Joint Military Commission and was returning to its base when it was hit.
The U.S. Command said that although the helicopter was supporting the commission, it did not carry the neutral orange markings and its crew was assigned to the peacekeeping commission.
Scroogins was the flight engineer aboard the CH4N Helix helicopter shot down Feb. 16 near An Loc, 60 miles north of Saigon, where aircraft was on a peacekeeping mission.
The CH4H had been requested by a civilian contracting firm which was building commission field sites, a command spokesman said.
A spokesman for the international commission here said the peacekeeping group had turned the investigation of the attack to Blen Hea, 15 miles northeast of Saigon.

Arabs Urge Vengeance
By the Associated Press
Arab spokesmen called Thursday for retaliation against Israel for the downing of a Libyan airliner which resulted in the death of more than 100 persons.
Western officials expressed fear that the incident would hurt chances for an Arab-Israeli settlement. Official Soviet news reports said that the plane down for that very purpose.
In Tel Aviv, Israel's air force chief and the fighter pilots who shot down a Libyan airliner said Thursday that the pilots were only trying to force the plane to land, but that it resisted and seemed to be trying to escape.
Defense Minister Mose Dayan told newsmen that the Israeli decisions in the incident were taken through normal military channels below the government
level and that they had "no political significance whatsoever."
Apparently 105 persons died Wednesday in the crash of the Libyan Airlines Boeing 737-800, where Libyan officials said the three jet plane had 112 persons aboard. Israel reported that nine survivors were pulled from the plane, two of these, both women, died later.
"We tried desperately to force it down, not to shoot it down," air force chief, Maj. Gen. Mordechal Hod, told reporters. "The more the pilot objected and the more he tried to get away, the more suspect he became."
Israeli pilots said that before firing they confronted the French captain of the airline face-to-face from less than 10 feet above the cockpit and wing-wagging to get him to land.
But in Cairo, the plane's intended destination, officials said that a recording of the pilot's last conversation with Egyptian controllers showed he had lost course, was unaware he was over hostile territory and had failed to recognize fighters were friendly Egyptian MIGs.
AURH Asks Refund For 'Misused' Money
Cairo officials told the pilo's last words were: "We are now shot. We are shot by a gun."
Hod most said the plane was flying over "one of the most restricted and delicate areas of the Egyptian-israeli frontline, an area where he and his crew because of its sensitive installations."

U.S.-China Relations Another Step Ahead
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and China Thursday took a major step toward full diplomatic relations by sending lawton offices on each nation's capital.
The development was announced in a communique released simultaneously in Washington and Peking to reflect "the progress that has been made" since President Nixon visited Red China a year ago.
Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger told newsmen that the agreement reached in his recent trip to Peking is an important step toward normal relations with the Com-
The President's China trip started the two nations toward a better understanding, he said.
"After the end of the war in Vietnam, and in these discussions in Peking, we were able to begin to travel some of these roads, and to move from the attempt to eliminate the obstructions and the mistrust to some more positive achievements," he said.
Kissinger said his discussions with Chairman Mao Tse-tung and Premier Chou En-lai in Peking this week had covered four major areas:
The desirability of normalization of relations:
—The desirability of reducing the danger of military conflict;
—And each of them opposed the attempt of anyone else to achieve it, and that the relations between China and the United States never be directed against any third country.
—The affirmation by both sides that neither would seek hegemony in the Pacific
This office falls short of embassy or mission status, but its personnel will have diplomatic immunity and privileges, in addition to the rights owed private messages to its government.
Because of the progress toward better relations, Kissinger said, it was decided "that the existing channel in Paris, the designated contact point for previous relations, should be established each side would establish a liaison office in the capital of the other."
Kissinger said the offices "would handle trade as well as all other matters, except the strictly formal diplomatic aspects of the relationship."
Kennedy said progress was being hampered by the "biblical fiction we continue to maintain, that somehow the government of China is so powerful that the government of China on the mainland."
The announcement was hailed by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., as "an accomplishment which really astounds me."
However, Ed. Sened M. Kennedy, D-Mass., asked, "Why must we be content with progress that is too little and too slow?"
As a sign of the good will generated by Kissinger's nearly 20 hours of talks with Chinese leaders in Peking, the mainland government agreed to release within the

Smith was shot down in 1965 while flying a veteran-raised mission, and Fyr was, from then on, an experienced pilot.
Kissinger also indicated that a third American held by the Chinese, CIA agent John Downey, might be freed in the second half of 1973.
Downey was captured during the Korean war on a dandelistine flight over the Chinese mainland and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He also was sentenced to a five-year period that would end in 1978.
Kissinger reaffirmed the diplomatic alliance maintained with the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan and he said the "level of our troops on Taiwan is not the subject of negotiation. There exists no immediate plan for any withdrawal."
However, there will be 8,000 periodic review of the status of the 8,000 U.S. troops on the island, he said, and their ultimate disposition "will be governed by the general considerations of the Nixon Doctrine with respect to danger in the area."
He said the aid that would be funneled to North Vietnam "is not a kind of ransom.
Kissinger also discussed his visit to Hanoi. He said the major point of his stop in North Vietnam had not been to discuss reconstruction aid but "to establish contact with the leadership of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam."

Formal Ties Distant, U.S. Interpreter Says
By ANN McFERREN Kansan Staff Writer
The establishment of liaison offices in Washington and Peking, announced on Tuesday by the adviser, is a major breakthrough in U.S.-China relations, according to Charles W. Freeman, the principal American interim envoy, President Nixon's trip to the last year.
But he said he could not foresee the establishment of diplomatic relations with China in the near future because of the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan.
Freeman predicted that the United States and China would not establish diplomatic ties.
The United States and China also have agreed to refrain from seeking control or dominant influence in the East Asian areas, Freeman said.
Freeman speak to students in the Forum room of the Kansas University Thursday about 10 a.m.
The liaison offices are the first of their kind, he said. There is no precedent for the role they will play in the developing relations between the two countries. He said the offices were expected to carry out some previous U.S.-Chinese agreements.
Both countries have agreed to establish the liaison offices in their capital cities to serve as an intergovernmental diplomatic relations have been created, Freeman said. The offices will not have embassy or mission status, but their personnel will have diplomatic immunity and security.
"As long as there is no solution to the Taiwan situation, I see no foreseeable future for the establishment of diplomatic relations." be said.
To maintain the balance of power, the two countries have agreed to oppose any third

country, specifically the Soviet Union or Japan, might try to take control of the area, he said.
Freeman said these agreements did not mean that the countries would not supply arms to the area. However, he said, there was a lack of equipment such as the presence of troops, in East Asia.
Trade with China has increased significantly since 1971, Freeman said, and the United States is working to establish a program of orderly market exchange with countries that must now work to establish a more permanent cultural exchange, he said.
Recent steps, including the visits of Chinese doctors, scientists and ping-pong players to the United States and short trips to China by several Americans, have improved the cultural exchange, he said, but improvements have not been long range.
The only permanent cultural exchange, he said, were the Chinese gift of two pandas and the two musk oxen given to China by the United States.
Freeman said the United States would be to make more permanent exchanges in the US.
The liaison offices can help solve these problems and produce a steady rather than a dramatic growth in cultural exchange, he said.
Mayor Owns Pool, Pinball Dealership
By MARILYN GIBSON
John Emick, Lawrence manager and owner of John's Novelty Shop, is a pool shark.
He began his career as a pool player during high school. Since then, he has become the leading dealer of pool tables, machines and football tables in Lawrence.
Ten years ago Emick became interested in a pool table investment. He bought three coin-operated machines and distributed them. When they did not pull in much business, he sold them to a recreation center.
Four years later, Emick found that interest in pool tables had grown, and he purchased one table. Emick now owns 80 of them in Lawrence.
Galen Patterson, general manager of John's Novelty Shop, said that Emick owns approximately 40 of the foobus table in Lawrence and that he owns over 150 pinball
He leases the machines to 66 local taverns, providing upkeep and servicing. The profit is split equally between John's and Drew's investment in the machine is located.
About six sororites, fraternities and residence halls have invested in pool tables and football teams. They rent a table for their games. Enick's shop services these machines too.
"Air hockey is the new thing." Erickm said, but it hasn't taken the place of table tennis.
Air hockey, he said, is a physical game. The table is about the size of a pool table and the ball is about the size released from holes placed at 1¼ inch intervals along the sides, causing the puck to
