House subvoenas Schorr
WASHINGTON - The House Ethics Committee voted yesterday to subpoena CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr to find out who leaked the secret House Intelligence
Chairman John FYnt said the committee voted 8-4 to authorize him to subpoena Scherr and 8-3 to subpoena three other witnesses to testify Sept. 15.
Schorh has said he wouldn't testify unless subpoenaed and even then he wouldn't discuss sources who gave him a copy of the secret report.
Schorr has acknowledged that he was responsible for publication of the report last February by the Village Voice, a New York weekly, after the House ordered
Flynt, D-Ga., said the committee also authorized him to subpoena Clay Felker, publisher of the Village Voice; Aaran Latham, a writer for New York magazine, which Felker also publishes; and Shelly Zalazick, who wasn't immediately identified.
6 dead in African riots
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Police opened fire yesterday on rioting mobs in the black township of Soweto as black workers battled black militants who were protesting a new police crackdown.
Commissioner of Police Gert Prinsloo confirmed six deaths.
Unofficial estimates by local newspapers have put the death toll in Soweto at 23 since the three-day boycott started Monday and an apparent breakout broke out on Tuesday.
At least two blacks were reported killed when police fired on maureauding mobs, who were attacking homes and dragging away women. At least 15 women were reported raped in one incident and hundreds were reported injured in the violence that spread through much of Soweto.
Korean punishment asked
PANMUNJOM, Korea—The United States government pressed North Korea yesterday to punish the soldiers who killed two Americans at Pamnunjom a week ago and agreed to study a North Korean proposal for physical separation of allied and Communist guards at this truce village.
Some Western diplomats said the North Korean proposal, made in earlier years by the United States, could help defuse the tense situation on the Korean peninsula.
Allied and Communist troops have been on alert since the two U.S. Army officers were a week and a disguise over pruning a tree. The United States has began reopening its airfields.
Ford gets new manager
VAIL, Colo.-President Ford shook up his campaign staff yesterday, naming James Baker, his chief preside缔 delegate counter, to replace Rogers C. Bentley.
The President told reporters that Morton will continue to be active in the campaign as head of a special steering committee. Responsibilities of the committee are listed below.
Baker, 46, a one-time Houston corporation lawyer, was instrumental in pinning down the last 100 delegates for Ford during the period before last week's Republican National Convention when the President was in a tight struggle with Ronald Reagan.
Baker came to the Ford campaign eight months ago from a position as undersecretary of commerce.
Carter attacks farming decisions by Republican administrations
DES MOINES (AP) -Bringing his campaign to the heart of the farm belt Jimmy Carter yesterday accused the Nixon and Carter administrations of "unparalleled incompetence" in managing the nation's farm economy.
Carter pledged that if he is elected this month, the company would embark on American farm exports.
The Democratic presidential nominee attacked administration agricultural practices before an enthusiastic crowd of 1,000—mostly farmers—at the Iowa State Fair.
principal now heads back to Georgia while principals staff aides fly to Washington to negotiate the terms of proposed debates between Carter and President Ford.
Stressing his own background as a farmer, Carter said Republican rule had placed the nation's farmers under severe restrictions so himself to a proposed series of reforms.
"It's not my idea of a fair shake when the government promotes foreign sales and then cuts them off for political concessions, as has his audience cheered and applauded.
"Four major embargos in three years is a record of unparalleled incompetence—and we farmers have paid the price—and that's not fair.
“It’s not my idea of a fair shake when inside speculators, with special connections in the agriculture department, make claims that you are the producer himself sells at a loss.”
Ford imposed a temporary embargo on grain sales late last summer after protests by labor groups and others who complained that sales to the Soviet Union would drive up at home. Some unions also complained about the terms for shipment of the grain.
PARIS (AP) - President Valery Giscard d'Estaining reassured his personal control over the French government yesterday in the face of leftist election challenges. He said he had called on his Gaullist premier and replaced him with an economist little known in politics.
Giscard d'Estaing picks new French premier
In resigning as premier, Chiricac used Gicardi d'Estalaing had refused to strengthen his powers to deal with the government's major problems-inflation, the weakened franc, unemployment and the growing strength of the leftist opposition.
Giscard d'Estaing named as premier Raymond Barre, 32, minister of foreign trade in Jacques Chirac's outgoing government.
Giving more power to Chirac, Giscard d'Estaing said, "would signify the appearance of two political powers in our country."
"He wanted an increase in authority," Giiscard *d'Estaining* said of Chirac in a television interview last night. "An increase at whose expense? The president's. I exclude it . . . It's fundamentally contrary to the institutions of the Fifth Republic."
The president denied, however, that he wanted the government all to himself. He presented the new premier, Barre, as "the public man most apt to resolve France's biggest problem, inflation," doubtless the best French economist."
It was known that Giscard d'Estang, who considers himself a reformist, had major differences with the more conservative Chirac on how to deal with France's economic recovery. With the left sometimes leading the non-Socialist parties in public opinion polls, Giscard d'Estang is believed to have wanted total control of the government nationwide municipal elections next year and parliamentary elections in 1978.
Chirac had a wide range for independent action in domestic policy and served as
Extortion charges upheld against kidnaper of editor
KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - William A. H. Williams was found guilty yesterday of stealing office records 700,000 from the Atlanta Constitution following the abduction of editor Reg Murphy.
Williams, a former Liburn, Ga., contractor, had pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the charges, which stemmed from Murphy's abduction in February 1974.
Williams, 36, sat quietly as the verdict was read. U.S. District Judge Willem C. O'Kelley sentencing for Sept. 17 in Atlanta,
Murphy, now editor-publisher of the San Francisco Examiner, was editor of the California Times.
Williams was found guilty in August 1974 but was given a new trial in Key West because of pretrial publicity and a questionable closing argument by the prosecution. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison in the first trial.
Public defender Bruce Kriwan closed his defense here as he opened it—saying that he is "working on the case."
The prosecution maintained that Williams had personality problems, but was seeking money to maintain his role as a "big spider, a big shot."
"He knew that what he was doing was wrong; he had the ability to stop himself," prosecutor Steven W. Ludwick said in his closing arguments.
"They were in financial difficulties. He was a big spender. A big shot, and he couldn't even loan his own brother $400. He could even make their own car payments."
you Mr. Williams was crazy as a bedbug and that's what this case is all about. There's craziness in Bill's life, there's crazy facts in this case."
Ludwick said Williams was a "very calculating, very cold, very intelligent man."
He itemized, starting with Williams' house wearing a maroon cowboy hat.
"Boy, if you ever want to stick out like a sore thumb come to somebody's house in a building," she said.
He also said Williams drove his own car and used his previous address when he took the bus.
Kirwan argued, "In the beginning I told
"You would take someone somewhere up in the mountains if this was so well thought out, but he takes him to a motel and uses his old address," Kirwan said.
