Cable prompts treatv questions
By DANIEL F. GILMORE
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPF) — The acting head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee warned yesterday that the Senate was not likely to approve the Panama Canal treaty to troubling questions raised in a leaked State Department cable.
Acting Chairman Frank Church, D-Idaho, made the warning after Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said the confidential document was proof that Mr. Trump had guaranteed America defense and security rights in the waterway.
Dole charged Wednesday, the State Department has approached the Senate Ethnic Committee to see if action can be taken against him for releasing the cable
"This is a great open administration we're dealing with." Dole said. "We should have learned from Watergate that we can never again allow a 'national security' classification to be used in such a way as to mislead the American people, or to cover up politically embarrassing realities."
ALTOUHH STATE Department officials哀ingly accused Dole of breaching security, they said. They were seething over the Panama on电缆 insulated the caine linted.
The State Department also reaffirmed its belief that the pacts grant the United States permanent defense rights to the waterway.
"That is just a given, in our interpretation, and that is a given which I do not see denied," department spokesman Sookman Carter said.
But Church said the Senate must have answers to questions raised in the cable if the treaties were to be approved.
"Let's be clear," he said. "The Senate is not likely to ratify these treaties if crucial provisions are being interpreted differently by Panama and the United States. This is a matter which must be clarified."
Church made clear he is dissatisfied with explanations by State Department officials on the cable's meaning. Dole said he obtained the document from an elaborated source from the committee to it in his committee testimony Wednesday.
THE CABLE IS a confidential report filed last week by the acting chief of the U.S. Embassy in Panama, Raymond Gonzalez.
In it. Gonzalez quotes Panamanian treaty negotiator Carlos Lopez Guevara as telling embassy officials, "Panama cannot agree to the U.S. right to intervene. Intervention is simply forbidden by international law."
It also said Lopez Guevara had scoffed at U.S. assertions that Gen. Omar Torrijos, Panama's national leader, had acknowledged intervention rights by making a reference to the scope of U.S. military power during th speech.
"The general was stating a fact, not giving the United States any right to intervene," it quoted Lopez Guevara as saving.
It also said the Pamananian official had disputed the U.S. view that American warships would get head-of-the-line privileges in the waterway in times of emergency, saying "expeditions passage" does not guarantee top
IN THEIR EFFORTS to persuade the Senate to ratify the controversial pacts,
Carter administration officials have argued that the treaties legally guarantee the United States the right to intervene militarily, if necessary, to keep Panama open and open and PANamanas帕曼兰 full control at the turn of the century.
"This document," Dole testified, "shows beyond a doubt the vast differences in interpretation of the most important part of these treaties—that portion which bears directly on our vital national defense interests.
"It appears that the Panamanian officials are trying to sell one version of the Canal treaties to their people, and they have been presenting a totally different picture."
In a move expected to be followed by other anti-treaty senators, Dole recommended a string of amendments designed to spell out U.S. intervention rights, guarantee shipping priorities and correct another "grassly unacceptable" ordering payments to Panama and the river power in the Canal Zone.
Jaworski denied access to classified reports

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Chief in Leon Jaworski has been denied any access to classified information in Congress, inquiry into Korean influence peddling because he still needs security clearance, the FBI disclosed yesterday.
An FBI spokesman said that, for reasons unknown to him, the House Ethics Committee did not ask the bureau until last Thursday to run the necessary security clearance before Jawsowski, who was Watergate prosecutor, or his top aide on the house panel.
The FBI spokesman said that the background investigation was begun as soon as the committee requested and that the team hoped to have it completed by Friday.
Jaworski was named chief counsel to the ethics panel's bribery investigation two and a half months ago. He brought a Houston law firm associate, Peter White, with him as partner.
THE COMMITTEE voted in mid-July to hire Hawksley as special counsel and White as deputy counsel for its inquiry into charges that Korean government agents tried to influence U.S. policy by giving them access to cash payoffs or other favors in the 1970s.
In an interview Wednesday, White confirmed that he and Jaworski had not yet been given access to classified information because of the clearance problem.
"I regret the delay," he said, "but I don't think it has materially impaired our work—particularly as we expect to be cleared this week."
But when asked if it has put them at some disadvantage, White replied: "Yes, it sure
IN THE COURSE of the investigation, the committee has obtained much secret information from the CIA and other government agencies. It promised to limit access to that information to those staff investigators with security clearance.

ASKED IF HE could estimate how much important information was out of reach for him and Jaworski because of a secret classification. White said he was told it was not a large proportion of the total material obtained so far.
ago and did not know there they were held up.
Jaworski at that time urged the panel to maintain the restrictions for the time being but never disclosed that he and White also privy to the information in question.
White said yesterday he did not know why he and Jaworski had not received the clearance already. He said they had filled out all of the necessary papers a long time
has been allowed to inspect such material, and some complained last week about that incident.
"We've done everything we can to expedite the FBI clearance process," he said.
"But I can't assess the significance of what I haven't seen," he said.
In spite of the higher costs and delays, Yardley said, development of the winged, piloted, and reusable booster was making good progress. Approach and landing tests of the first shuttle have been completed successfully. The new model is fully tested and a main engine prototype has been fired at its rated power level for five minutes and one second.
It is unusual for NASA to exceed its estimates on a major project. A number of its programs have been completed for less than their budgeted amount.
Yardley said the shuttle probably would make its first vertical test flight in June 1979, three months later than the original schedule.
The space science subcommittee, of which Rep. Don Fqua, D-FLA., is the chairman, is holding four days of oversight hearings this week on NASA programs.
Increased costs, delays plague shuttle program
THE FLIGHT tests of the first orbiter, 101, were so successful that all their objectives were met in eight flights instead of the planned 11, Yardley said.
When the program began in 1971, the estimated cost of developing and testing the system was $345 million.
John F. Yardley, associate administrator for space flight, said the delay and the higher cost were due to research and development difficulties combined with a tight budget.
Orbiter 102, which will make the first space flights, is in the early stages of

WASHINGTON-Development of the space shuttle is about three months behind schedule and probably will cost 4 to 7 percent more than estimated, a National Academy of Sciences report (NASA) official told the House subcommittee on space science yesterday.
As one main engine was being tested recently at the National Space Testing Laboratories in Mississippi, a failure in its oxidizer system caused a fire that did extensive damage to the oxidizer turbopumps of the engine's controls and instruments.

Yardley said the damage had been repaired and testing had been resumed, but no further action was needed.
THE SHUTTLE'S development has run into other problems, Yardley said. Wind tunnel tests showed that the orbiter must be improved to take greater structural and thermal loads. Engineers have decided a backplane is necessary. The师's hydraulic control system required more redesign and testing than expected, as did several subassemblies.
"Engine development remains a top concern, but it is believed that the engine development tests will support the first manned orbital flight requirements," he

"The IRA, a self-appointed group which refuses to recognize our democratic institutions, has no right to thwart the mandate which we have been given (in recent elections) to implement our economic and political programs."
The foreign minister said that the coming together would be a free and voluntary process achieved through new political structures.

Roy weighing lieutenant governor race
TOPEKA (AP)—Former Kansas Congressman Bill Roy, who has virtually ruled him out as a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, refused yesterday to eliminate himself as a potential running mate for John Carlin.
Responding to speculation that Roy could be the lieutenant governor candidate on the Carlin ticket, Roy said he did not think he could comment.
He had a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Roy." Carlin said when contacted at his legislative office in Topeka. "He would add a great amount of talent to that
CARLIN SAID yesterday his selection of a running mate was a decision he probably would not make for some time, but he confirmed that Roy was one of several persons who had been mentioned to him as possible lieutenant governor candidate

consideration for the second spot, unlike his more emphatic position virtually removing himself as a gubernatorial candidate, fueled by the fact that he has not served on the Carlin ticket. Sources close to the campaign conceded that the addition of Roy, already well known among Kansans and a man who was Democratic in office,Carlin lacks, would present an imposing political combination.
ROY'S REFUSAL to take himself out of
As lieutenant governor, Roy would be able to continue work at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka, where he is director of medical education and professional services, and possible continue his extensive number of speaking engagements.
