Greeks to Allow Return Of Makarios to Cyprus
By The Associated Press
Greece opened the way yesterday for the return of Archibishop Makarios as president of Cyprus as the newly installed president of Cyprus, Glaceros Clerides, declared that his main task was to preserve the fragile ceasefire between Turks and Greeks.
The previous Greek military dictatorship is widely believed to have engineered the outer of Makarios on July 15 in an unsuccessful attempt to replace the island's independent government with pro-Greek leaders.
There was no immediate comment from Makarios, who is in New York. The archbishop said Tuesday, however, that he had spent the week as the island president within a few weeks.
Mavros said Greece "has accepted fully the United Nations Security Council decision on Cyprus. One of the points of this resolution is a call for the restoration of the territory to be accepted that we therefore recognize and unit Markarios as the legal head of Cyprus.
He added, "When Makarios will return another question. That's his business."
In Athens, George Mavros, the foreign minister of the newly appointed civilian cabinet that succeeded the military regime (that resigned, said yesterday that his government recognized Makarios as the president and legal head of Cyrus.
Great Britain, which proposed the meeting, stressed the need for speed to safeguard the ceasefire that took effect Monday.
On Cyprus, Clerides, who was installed Tuesday as president, remained in office. In a news conference broadcast by Cyprus radio and monitored in Beirut, he warned that the truce was endangered by Turkish forces taking up new positions.
He said that Makarios' return was a question for the Cypriot people to decide.
Preparations were under way in Geneva for the foreign ministers of Greece, Turkey and Great Britain to open talks today. The purpose of the talks will be to avert war over Cyprus and work out a settlement for the Eastern Mediterranean island count
"Turks and Greeks must coexist in the Cyprus nation without fighting."
Diplomats in Geneva welcomed Tuesday's government changes in both
Clerides replaced Nicos Sampson, who had been named president just a week earlier by the Greek leaders of the coup which ousted Makarios.
Cramanias was swned in as premier early yesterday after the seven-year-old military regime resigned Tuesday in the north to establish a pro-Greeck regime in Cyprus.
Cyprus and Greece as encouraging signs for the talks. Clerides and Constantine Caramanlis, who returned from 11 years of self-imposed exile to become premier of Greece, were seen as moderate civilian leaders identified with a policy of independence for Cyprus and concern for the independence of both Greek and Turkish Cyrviots.

Patty Hearst Surrender Call Found a Hoax
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police said a woman who identified herself as newspaper heresy Patricia Hearst last week wanted to surrender was a hoaxer.
"We've received a phony telephone call from someone who said she wanted to give herself up," said Police Lt. Dan Cook.
The hoax was taken seriously enough to bring Miss Hearst's parents to Los Angeles. A family spokesman said Mr. Hearst had been involved in the San Francisco by plane for Los Angeles.
Police officers massed near an apartment house in suburban North Hollywood after residents said they saw a man sitting in the description of Heart.
"There were three separate, independent witnesses who said they saw Miss Hearn and two black men entering an apartment," said Police I.D. Dan Cook.
Between 50 and 100 officers, including members of the Special Weapons Tactics Squad, gathered several blocks from the apartment house.
"We would not go to this extent if we did not think this was a good lead," he added.
Several plain clothes officers were seen outside the two-story apartment building.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Opening its impeachment inquiry to all America, the House Judiciary Committee began formal debate last night on a recommendation that the attorney removed from office for having "prevented" the impeachment of justice.
Judiciary Inquiry Begins
The three-hour nationally broadcast start of debate — marked by two telephone bomb threats — brought no unexpected shifts in positions for or against impeachment.
It was only the second time in the annals
the Republic that the presidential impress-
sions
Committee's Impeachment Debate Televised
Of the 11 committee members to speak, four Democrats called for Nixon's impeachment and one Republican said no. The other two Democrats didn't say how they would vote. Four Republicans also deferred open commitment.
The Republican who spoke against impeachment, Rep. Charles W. Sandman Jr. of New Jersey, nonetheless said there was no reason that the committee would vote against Nixon.
After months of investigation and weeks of closed-door hearings, the committee allowed the public through television and a watch and listen to its climatic debate.
"There's no use kidding anybody about that," he said of the outcome of the comedy.
Before pausing while police made the search, the panel was formally presented with a pair of proposed articles of impeachment by a Democrat and heard Republicans suggest a delay in the nationally televised debate.
An hour after it began, the session was forced into an abrupt 47-minute recess because of a telephoned bomb threat received by a Capitol operator. Another bomb threat was received just as the committee quit for the night.
In a last-minute change, a third article charging the President with contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a decree that Bosseus was merged into the second article.
Offered by the committee's second-ranking Democrat, Rep. Harold D. Donohue of Massachusetts, the impeachment resolution's two articles charged Nixon with obstruction of justice in the Wateregat case, and otherwise abusing the powers of his office.
Each of the two articles proposed by Donohue ticked off in legal language a number of specific allegations. They concluded, "Richard M. Nixon by such conduct warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office."
Other than Donohue, none of the seven members to speak before the hurried recess referred specifically to the proposed articles of impeachment.
The members frequently spoke philosophically. Some said specifically how they would vote. Others gave only hints. Others offered a larger surprise in his thinking.
Chairman Peter J. Rodino, D.N.J., told the committee in his opening statement that after months of investigation of Watergate that he made up our minds."
Then came the suggestion for delay from
Rep. Edward Hutchinson of Michigan, the ranking Republican, who cited Wednesday's unanimous Supreme Court order that Nixon turn over 64 tape-recorded conversations for the Watergate cover-up trial. Barely a half-hour before the debate, the lawyer announced the President would comply 'in all respects' with the court.
One of the articles of impeachment proposed by Donohue alleged that Nixon "has prevented, obstructed and impeded the administration of justice." The other article accused him of power vested in his president either directly or through his subordinates or agents."
The first of the two articles listed nine specifications, including: Making false and misleading statements to duly authorized officers; approving, condoning, or counseling witnesses to give false or misleading statements; interfering with investigations by the Justice Department, FBI and other agencies; approving and concealing payment of money to obtain the silence of the Watergate break in participants; endeavoring to misuse the CIA; and suppressing, withholding and concealing evidence.
The second article, alleging abuse of power, said that Nixon either directly or through subordinates authorized illegal activities. The FBI the Secret Service and others.
It said Nixon unlawfully established a special White House investigative unit, supervised by a presidential assistant and illegally in part by campaign funds.
This was a reference to the so-called "Plumbers" unit which burglarized the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. Elmer has insisted the Pentagon Papers on the floor.
The second article also said Nixon endeavored to obtain confidential Internal Revenue Service information and to interfere with the FBI's activities.
One senior Republican, Rep. Robert Mugwai of Illinois, echoed the committee's suggestion he be postponed until a renewed effort could be made to obtain tapes the committee had sought in January.
Rodino, in opening the debate, declared the question before the committee was whether Nixon had committed "grave and systematic violation of the Constitution."
It also mentioned Nixon's firing of the original special Watergate prosecutor, Robert Kavanagh.
McClory said he hoped the committee could "get promptly and without equivocation from the White House the additional tapes we have also subpoenaed."
Like Hutchinson, McClary did not follow up his recommendation with a formal

President Promises Compliance to Ruling
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A disappointed President Nixon announced yesterday he would comply “in all respects” with a anonymous Supreme Court ruling that he must surrender documents and representations for the Watergate cover-up trial.
St. Clair took exactly two minutes to read Nixon's statement to reporters in the packed and steamy press room. Newsmen were dutifully forward, but he brushed aside all inquiries.
"While I am of course disappointed in the result, I respect and accept the court's decision and I have instructed Mr. S. Clair to take whatever measures are necessary to comply with that decision in all respects."
Eight hours after the court announced its 8-0 opinion in Washington, Nixon sent his chief Waterpier defense lawyer, James D. St. Clair, before national television cameras in a hotel near the Western White House to disclose his decision.
"My challenge in the courts to the subpoena of the special prosecutor was based on the belief that it was unconstitutionally issued, and on my strong desire to protect the principle of presidential confidentiality in a system of separation of powers.
The President, who had consistently declined to say in advance whether he would abide by an adverse court ruling, said through St. Clair:
In his statement, Nixon maintained that
the court's ruling supported the principle of executive privilege, often cited by the White House as grounds for not releasing the tapes.
The decision, written by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, said that privacy of presidential communications was "fundamental to the operation of government" but said the principle was outweighed by the needs of criminal justice.
Nixon said: "For the future, it will be essential that the special circumstances of this case not be permitted to cloud the rights of the plaintiff and give us the confidentiality without which this office cannot function. I was gratified, therefore, to note that the court reaffirmed both the validity and the importance of the principle of self-distinction—the principle I had sought to maintain.
"By complying fully with the court's ruling in this case, I hope and trust that I will contribute to strengthening rather than weakening this principle for the future—so that this will prove to be not the precedent of the wrong principle, but the action that preserved it."
St. Clair said he would immediately begin preparing the tapes to be turned over to the chef. "It looks like a very messy job," he said.
The tapes were subpoenaed by Leon Jaworski, the Watergate special prosecutor, for the trial of some of Nixon's former top aides.

Planning Commission Opposes Garage Site
By JOHN CRICHTON
Kansan Staff Reporter
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted last night to oppose construction of the city maintenance facility at Second and Indiana streets.
The vote is a victory for residents of that area, represented by the Pinckney Neighborhood Association and the Old West Lawrence Association, who have opposed the site for the garage in their neighbor's yard.
In an 8-1 vote, the Planning Commission said the second and Indiana site wasn't in compliance with the law.
In a show for the residents, representatives of the Douglas County Environmental Improvement Council, the Lawrence Sierra Club and concerned individuals oppose opposing the site at Second and Indiana streets.
There was also opposition to the plan that would locate the city garage at 19th and Haskell streets or elsewhere. A proposal from the City Planning Department
Mississippi streets. The commission decided that these two sites also were in non-compliance with the comp
The vote of the City Planning Commission now goes back to the City Commission for further consideration. A member of the City Planning staff recently noted that the City Commission wasn't bound by the decisions of the Planning Commission, and could override its vote if it wished.
The Second and Indiana site for the new maintenance facility was first proposed after a study was done in March by Baford Watson, city manager. Watson said recently that the Second and Indiana site was the most advantageous site because of its location under water plant, the railroad and the manufacturing area.
Local residents saw it differently. James Seaver, president of the Old West Lawrence Association and professor of history, said the new location of the garage was to facilitate daily maintenance vehicles through the neighborhood.
"We don't know why the city wants a maintenance
facility placed in the middle of a residential area," he said.
"We're fighting for our children and for the Pinckney school. The increased traffic would be a hazard to children."
Watson said the proposed area was a manufacturing area and not a residential area. He said that since the present garage was at Fifth and Mississippi streets, it would be unlikely for traffic increase is between Fifth and Second.
"There is a lot of talk," he said, "at the City Commission about making Lawrence an attractive place to live. And now, they want to build a garage in one of our residential areas."
Seaver said the historical value of the Old West Lawrence area and the adjacent Pinckney neighborhood would be in danger if a vague was built at that location. He cited the increase in traffic, added noise and air pollution and the need for wider roads or access to the garage as threats to the neighborhood.
James Hancock, chairman of the Lawrence Sierra Club and assistant professor of botany, said the construction of the garage at Second and Indiana streets would affect the philosophy of the city.
"is the city for the people who live in it," he said, "or is it for the city employees and the City Commission?"
Mayor Jack Rose, who originally voted for the site, said, "If anyone could come up with a better site, then I will." Rose will be one of the leaders.
Hose also said that since the site had already been zoned for industrial use, the city wasn't imposing a use restriction.
Under the present zoning, Rose said, the site could be used for far more detrimental purposes to the surrounding community by industrialists or manufacturers.
Rose said that the City Commission had more or less made a determination to use the Indiana site. However, Rose made his comment before the Planning Commission meeting.
