Eagles at Topeka Are Parents of Three
Nixon to Address Congress

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon said yesterday he would send Congress a new State of the Union message calling for Israel to and to preserve the nation's energy resources.
In his second news conference in two weeks, Nixon also exhorted Congress to maintain his defense budget. He cautioned that reductions could put the United States on a "second-class position" when it enters critical negotiations with the Soviet Union
THE PRESIDENT said he was confident appeals courts would uphold his right to keep from Senate investigators and the Watergate grand jury tape recordings of his conversations with former allies implicated in the 1972 break-in of Democratic headquarters.
"We are looking forward in the next summit meeting to limiting nuclear arms," the President said of a major impending round of discussions.
"This great effort will be destroyed if the country reduces the budget for defense in Afghanistan."
Nixon also was drawn into exchanges about Watergate and the investigation of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew by federal prosecutors in Baltimore, although questions about the Watergate scandal did not dominate the session as they did his meeting with newsmen Aug. 22 at San Clemente, Calif.
At the same time, Nixon declined to specify what he would consider a "definitive" ruling of the Supreme Court should the tribunal decide against him.
"The matter of a definitive ruling is one that will be discussed in the appeal procedure," he said. "For me to discuss it in advance would be inappropriate."
Nixon had said previously he would obey such a ruling.
Zoo Breeds Rare Eagles

In 1972, the zoo became the first successfully to breed captive eagles. Since then, three eagle chicks have been born, the youngest last spring.
"Zoos have traditionally been a haven for injured animals that never recover sufficiently to be released. What many zoos do is provide free birdrids," Clarke said. "We used to have a multitude of partially crippled hawks, eagles, vultures and what-have-you. We have eliminated that collection and now distribute on establishing breeding pairs."
"Predatory birds in zoos have never really done very well as far as reproduction because they are not as sensitive," said recently. "An attempt was never really made to establish breeding pairs because the birds were regarded only as great predators." But for conservation wasn't what it is now."
However, the Teopena Zoo has taken the lead among U.S. zoos in contributing to conservation through captive breeding. Clarke and his staff in 1972 won the Edward H. Bean award, the most coveted zoological institution, for their success with the eagles.
Clarke attributes the Topkazo zoe's success where other zoos have failed to establish a reasonably natural environment for them and for them a staff of qualified keepers.
provided for the birds at each end of the display to permit maximum flight area. Nesting materials such as twigs and grass are also placed in the display, from which the eagles build their own nests near the top of the backston fencing.
"A zoo can have the most elaborate architectural structure in the world, but it won't help the breeding process of these eagles. Two backstops may sound good on their own, but practical, economical and successful method available to us," Clarke said.
"Our eagles used to be kept in the mall, where they could be viewed from all sides. We've found that successful breeding is not only to provide a security side for them," he said.
"We are pleased and proud of the fact that we are the first to successfully breed eagles. But it's also important that thing is that somebody has done it. Our wish is that now that this body has reproduced, other zoos will copy our procedure and perhaps achieve the same success," he
"There are a few research facilities that can breed predatory birds. But they are in isolated areas and don't have to deal with predators on planes. The biggest potential is in zoos.
"What we will do is establish a master record of all potential breeding pairs and all individuals hatched, in cooperation with the American Aquarium, and in Parks and Aquariums. Then we'll set up a cooperative program with other zoos where these animals can be sent to other zoos for breeding purposes."
Clarke anticipates continued success with eagle breeding. Eagles are annual cycle birds of prey that hunt fish and small mammals.
Eagles are not the only species the Topeka zoo has successfully bred. They have bred three Northern Black Vultures, hand-raised a polar bear (only the fifth zoo bear) by breeding by 134 chesas in one year from a pair of parent birds named Gono and Dia.
"I am hoping that the offspring will reproduce and we'll be hatching second generation eagles. This too would be a breakthrough." Clarke said.
support for Agnew by recalling past expressions of confidence in him and by saying he would not dignify with an answer any hypothetical questions based on "charges made by innuendo" against the vice president.
ON ANOTHER subject, Nixon said the Internal Revenue Service audited his tax returns for 1971 and 1972 and did not order him to pay any more money.
The President also said he resented implications that his property was enriched at government expense in the guise of improving security.
Nixon said the security installations reduced the value of the estates in San Clemente and in Key Biscayne, Fla. "as residential property." He added that he owns money on the homes as well as the one he owned, Calif., that he inherited from his mother.
Nixon cautioned oil-producing Arab states that they could lose their markets in the West if they expropriated U.S.-owned property without fair compensation.
He said he intended to send Henry A. Kissinger to China for discussions with leaders of the Communist nation once the Senate confirms him as secretary of state.
And he announced he would veto a bill to raise the minimum wage from $1.00 to $2.00 per hour.
HE SAID he would send a new State of the Union message to Capitol Hill next morning because of congressional inaction on key elements of his program and Congress own spending proposals that, he said, "would bust the budget . . ."
The message, he said, will concentrate on "the very high priority area of fighting inflation" and will seek action "to meet the needs of energy."
Nixon said substantial cuts in defense would remove all incentive for the Soviet Union and others to negotiate with the U.S. to prevent a nuclear war. Europe and a limitation in nuclear arms,
The administration is doing all it can to baltic inflation without provoking a recession, Nixon said. Over the next few months, he said, his economic advisers believe "we should begin to see some of the benefits" of the food program, of efforts to increase the food supply and of steps taken by the Federal Reserve Board to tighten money.
While inveighing against inflation, the President insisted that it would be a "fatal mistake" to cut into national defense. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield the Democrat-controlled Congress has called for major U.S. troop reductions overages.
Terrorists Abduct 15 In Embassv Takeover
Arab journalists in close touch said nearly 20 hours later, that a deal had been made.
PARIS (AP) – Palestinian terrorists seized the Saudi Arabian Embassy and 15 hostages yesterday, threatening death and destruction if their demands were not met.
The journalists were in contact with the Palestinians and with the Arab diplomats through whom negotiations were conducted.
They said the agreement called for the five terrorists to release six non-Arab hostages-five French women and a Yucasol.
Arab diplomats told French officials they would assume responsibility for the nine Arab hostages, who would be flown to an airport with the Palestinians, the reports said.

The Palestinians were reported insisting that an Arab aircraft be at a Paris airport to fly them out before they would complete their part of the bargain.
Boost in Activity Fee Likely, Senate Told

Jury Accuses Ehrlichman
"They spoke in favor of finding funds for the programs and said that the University should fund them and not the students," he said.
Nixon's announcement that he would send Congress another State of the Union message drew the most criticism, especially from Democrats.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Congress went back to work yesterday after a month-long summer recess, and the reaction of members to President Nixon's criticism of their performance this year split fairly distinctly along party lines.
LOS ANGELES-John Ehrlichman, former top domestic adviser to President Nixon, has been indicted on charges of perjury, burglary and conspiracy in the break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, a source said yesterday.
Sources close to the county grand jury, which issued the indictment secretly Tuesday, indicated that the perjury charge resulted from contradictions between Ehrlichman's testimony here last June 18 in a secret grand jury session and his later
Young was unavailable for comment, but officials said they believed he would surrender here. They said it would probably take some time to arrange an appearance in Washington, D.C., where he had been convicted in Washington, D.C., where he was convicted in the Watergate break-in.

Krogh sent word that he will appear for arrangement here this afternoon.
Other contradictions were believed to exist in three memorandums presented to the Minister of State for Justice, Ms. Yasuko Ishiguro.
The indictment was ordered sealed until at least one of those indicted had surrendered. Dist. Atty. Joseph Busch declined comment on the identities of those named.
Congress Split Over Criticism By President

Krogh was charged with solicitation of a burglary, conspiracy and burglary. Liddy and Young were charged with burglary and conspiracy to commit a burglary.
The maximum sentence upon conviction for burglary, conspiracy to commit a burglary and perjury is 1 to 14 years in prison. The maximum sentence for solicitation is 1 to 5 years.
"I don't blame him for wanting another State of the Union message because the first one was very disappointing," said House Speaker Carl Albert, D-OKa.
Buckley said that when he spoke to the same persons Aug. 30, he was told that the senate shouldn't be optimistic about receiving funds from the administration.

That pledge, Nixon said, was in response to a suggestion from House Democratic Leader Thomas P. O'Neill of Massachusetts. After the President's news conference yesterday, O'Neill disclosed that he had resigned from domestic affairs adviser, Melvin R. Laird, who tentatively arranged a meeting at the White House for early next week.

Algerian Third World leaders pressed adoption of sanctions against Israel.
The Algerian leaders also urged that the United States be asked to stop helping Israel. The Algerian resolution didn't ask, as some Arab nations had urged, that oil shipments to the United States be slowed until the United States abandons its support of Israel.
The measures were submitted to the foreign ministers of 76 nations participating in a summit of Third World leaders that began in Algeria. The participants ranged across a wide political spectrum, from members of the Commonwealth to anti-imperialist revolutionaries.
Forecasted increase in price indexes
will eventually mean higher retail prices .
The government tomorrow will hit consumers with some of the worst price news of the post-World War II era when it releases its wholesale price index.
Sources at the Treasury department said yesterday the index may show that farm prices increased more than 20 per cent during the month and that the over-all wholesale price index increased by more than a staggering 5 per cent.
Thousands of student vacations went on as 25,000 U.S. teachers walked off.
Among the walkouts was a teachers' strike in Detroit, the nation's fifth largest school system. Detroit officials had hoped to open schools for 270,000 students despite the walkout by 10,500 teachers, but only about one-fourth of the students showed up for classes.
In San Francisco, school bus drivers walked off their jobs after failing to reach agreement on wages and hours. Other strikes, mostly over wages,
A federal judge ruled that Holiday Inns violated antimonopoly laws in franchising.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Leonard I. Garth came in a suit filed in Newark, N.J., against Holiday Inns Inc. by a franchise applicant who was turned down because his proposed site was too close to an existing franchise.
Such a policy, combined with one that prohibits holiday Imm owners from owning hotels of other chains, violates federal laws prohibiting combinations of services.
