Arabs endorse peace plan
CAIRO—Arab leaders endorsed a peace plan for Lebanon at the end of a two-day summit conference last night but failed to agree on the key issue of the makeup of the map.
The dispute centers on Syria's demand that the 21,000 Syrian soldiers already in Lebanon form the bulk of the Pan-Arab peace force.
This was rejected by Iraq, which has been feasting with Syria, and opposed by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Iraq has demanded that all Syrian troops be withdrawn from Lebanon, while the PLO fears that Syria is trying to gain control over the Palestinian guerrilla units.
Resolutions approved at the summit meeting rejected the partition of Lebanon into Christian and Moslem states, vowed to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and protect the Palestinian guerrilla movement, and called on each Arab state to contribute to the reconstruction of Lebanon.
Korean records probed
The South Korean embassy's bank records are probably being subpoenaed in an investigation of that country's alleged attempts to influence Congress with gifts, a source said.
The source said the investigation by a federal grand jury was "in the very early stages."
A subpoena for the records would be a normal part of such an investigation, but the source couldn't confirm whether the document had actually been issued yet. Officials at Riggs National Bank in Washington, D.C. declined to comment on the matter.
The probe was disclosed Sunday by The Washington Post.
Soviet leaders retain posts
MOSCOW—The likelihood of a Kremlin shake-up faded yesterday after a two-meeting of the Communist Party and Central Committee ended with the nation's agonizing war.
Before the meeting, rumors had circulated that Premier Alexei Koysyn, 72, might be near the end of his career. Koysyn has been reported to be ill and had been in intensive care since September. The team's goal is to
A Moscow radio communicate at the end of the committee session announced no changes in the Palitubour, whose members, averaging close to 66 years in age, were involved.
Nixon tapes released
WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. Court of Appeals cleared the way yesterday for broadcast of the Richard Nixon White House plays played at the Watergate cover-trial up.
But lawyers for the former President promptly announced they would appeal further because "the effect . . . is to permit the commercial exploitation of the recordings of presidential conversations subpoenaed for use in a criminal trial."
The appeals court ruled that that the "tapes played at trial are no longer confidential." The 2-1 decision returned the case to U.S. law enforcement, who must develop a plan for release of the tapes.
"Distribution should be prompt, and on an equal basis to all persons desiring copies,"
The ruling also permits the sale of the tapes as recordings.
The opinion, written by Chief Judge David
Bazelon, said that by definition the tapes no longer are confidential and that Nixon, who opposes their release, "is left to argue that it somehow be 'unseeable' to allow tapes of White House conversations to be marketed and publicly distributed."
But, Bazelon said, “this is essentially a question of taste and provides a singularly weak basis for a court to interfere with the construction of a long-established common law right.”
"In any event, in light of the strong interests underlying the common law right to inspect judicial records—in interests especially important here given the national concern over Watergate, we cannot judge Gussell abused his discretion."
The case was sent back to Sirica with instructions that a plan be formulated for the project.
Included in the tapes is the so-called "smoking gun" tape of June 12, 1972, when Nixon ordered that the FBI's investigation break-in six days earlier be derailed.
Britain supports demands to free jailed Rhodesians
GENEVA (AP) —Great Britain backed the demands of black nationalists yesterday to force Khodesia's white-minority government 600 political prisoners immediately.
British Ambassador Ivor Richard, chairman of the conference called to arrange big majority rule in Rhodesia, told staff talks would open as scheduled tomorrow.
The demand for the release of political prisoners, came from Rhodage. Black

Immediate freedom for an estimated 600 political prisoners and detainees held for their opposition to the white rulers of the breakaway British colony.

Suburban Chicago voters got a massive dose of presidential campaigning yesterday when President Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter flew into the area seeking the support that could tip closely contested Illinois in their favor.
With 26 electoral votes, Illinois is one of the most states in the last-week campaign.
Foreign policy and defense issues were the principal themes for both candidates as the prime minister.
Carter talked of how he would cut waste from the Pentagon budget. And he sought to counter Ford's criticism of Carter's statement that he wouldn't send American troops into Yugoslavia in the event of a Soviet invasion of that country.

"I THINK THE world is tired of bluff and blustering where you innumerate you're going to send troops to some country when you learn that no people won't let you do it," Carter said.
During his campaign stops, Ford said, "American presidents have always known they should never say in advance precisely what they think will happen to take in the event of an international crisis."
Ford said his foreign and defense policies had "kept us strong and defense peace," while Carter would represent a venture "into the unknown with a doctrine that is untested, untried, in my view, potentially dangerous."

Discussing the defense budget, Carter said, "We need to have a tough, competent, well-organized, muscular fighting force, going to have it when I become president."
in Columbia, S.C., Carter said the $2 billion to $7 billion in defense budget cuts he had proposed would be confined to the Army and Marine forces' weaponry. Carter said $3 billion could be saved by increasing the time that servicemen stayed at one post, by raising the ratio of military students to instructors and by reducing the weapons used by various NATO countries.
Senate committee to define International Club budget
Candidates scramble for kev Illinois votes
An International Club budget of $8,249 that was given preliminary approval by the Senate Cultural Affairs Committee last night could be cut a great deal at a meeting Sunday of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee.
The Ford administration already has
mature internal transfers and to try to
standardize DNA.
The President repeatedly described the campaign as a choice between a known and an unknown.
The club's budget must be sent to Finance and Auditing for further consideration and acceptance before it is presented to the full Senate for final approval.
Upon arriving in Illinois, Carter told reporters it was obvious the state "is very corrupt."
"I would expect that when the budget comes to F&A, it will be changed quite a bit," Randy McKernan, chairman of finance and auditing, said yesterday.
"Judging from last year's allocation, at least half will be cut."
McKernan said that he objected to the budget's approval because of the philosophy used by the Cultural Affairs Committee.
He said that the committee should have used last year's club budget of about $2,400 as a guideline instead of approving the budget simply because there was a large amount of excess funds from which the allocations could be made.
Because of excess student activity fees.

there is about $40,000 to $50,000 that can be used for supplemental funding, according to the survey.

After hearing a budget request of $4,141 from Hai Huang, International Club treasurer, the Cultural Affairs Committee ordered that the budget be approved and then accepted the amended budget.
Beisner disagreed with McKenna about the Cultural Affairs Committee decision. He said that the committee had approved the request to move the International Club's requests were legitimate.
Earlier this fall, the International Club's budget request of $8,400 had been rejected by the Financing and Auditing Committee because it lacked sufficient justify such a large amount.
Mkernan said that the club's budget was then sent to the Cultural Affairs Committee for further study and recommendation to Financing and Auditing.

EXPLAINING THAT language, Nessen told reporters, "We always find a polite way to turn down requests for interviews we do not want."
—A spokesman for Playboy magazine said the White House never flatly rejected the idea of a Ford interview with the magazine. The spokesman said that, contrary to recent statements by the President, White House was cordial and cooperative with the magazine, but the project was dropped because of deadline and scheduling conflicts.
Citing schedule conflicts, Nessen wrote Playboy on July 15, 1975: "I am sorry we are not able to arrange the interview. We will have to look the future if we can help you in any way."
Later, White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen denied the Playboy account.

Nessen said there was no other correspondence with the magazine.
Nessen released two letters, one from a Playboy editor seeking to arrange an interview.
"I can't find a scrap of evidence in our files to back it up. I can'r find anyone in the White House who contacted Playboy about a possible Ford interview," he said.
At a news conference a week ago, Ford said, "I reiterate what I said once before. I turned down an invitation by Playboy and have an interview such as Carter did."
Ford also said he thought it would be improper for a president to submit an answer to the questions asked.
