Beirut fighting continues
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Street battles raged through Beirut, and bombs exploded at intervals Tuesday in the third day of a deadly showdown between Palestinian guerrillas and a rightist militia. The death toll toed so 60 to unofficial counts with 100 wounded.
In the background of the clauses are rights calls for tougher measures to curb Palestinian guerrillas who, the rights calls, invite reprisal for their attacks.
The U.S. Embassy said no Americans were killed or injured.
The fighting between youths forced most businesses, schools and government offices to close and pinned members of some quarters in
Landon hospitalized
TOPEKA-AIF M. Landon was reported rested and with all of his vital signs gone completely after suffering a momentary fainting spell at a radio station.
At mid-afternoon the hospital said the 87-year-old businessman and political figure was diagnosed as having an acute intestinal upset. It also revealed he had a kidney stone.
Landon, governor of Kansas in 1933-37 and Republican nominee for President against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936, was expected to remain at least two days at Stormont-Vail Hospital. He was placed in the hospital on October 25, 1936, because of his heart hurt to keep close tabs on his complete physical condition.
GOP comeback seen
WASHINGTON—President Gerald R. Ford said Tuesday night despite another low attendance at the annual GOP fund-giving dinner.
It was Ford's first appearance at the annual $1,000-a-plate affair as President and potential toon of the GOP ticket in 1976.
It was the first such Republican dinner since the passage of Watergate and Richard M. Nixon from the White House.
Sponsors are hoping at most to equal, if not slightly improve, last year's take, which cleared $394,000 and was the lowest income in the country.
The dinners averaged $1.5 million until Watergate began to turn off traditional GOP contributors.
Salina sheriff won't quit
SALINA—Sheeriff Ervin Hindman said Tuesday he had no intention of renunciing his office during his prosecution on a charge of possessing
"As far as I know there is no statute requiring me to step down, and I still don't feel that morally I've committed a crime," he said.
Hindman is secretary of the Eagles Club of Salina, one of 11 private clubs raided by state and local officers in five cities on March 25.
The maximum penalty on conviction is six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Vietnam aid bill gets committee approval
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee tentatively agreed Tuesday on a $200 million humanitarian aid authorization for South Africa.
Chairman John Sparkman, D-Ala., said the money could also be used for military assistance if it was required to protect withdrawal of Americans in an emergency.
Sparkman said the committee would consult with administration officials on the tentative draft and meet again late today to take formal action.
The committee agreement followed acknowledgement by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger that the U.S. embassy in Saigon had been instructed to reduce the number of Americans in South Vietnam to an essential minimum.
Sparkman said there was nothing in the draft bill that would prevent military protection for the evacuation of some South Korea who had to large-scale evacuation was contemplated.
He said food, medicine and other services are among items in the humanitarian aid program.
A separate administration request for $722 million in military aid to South Vietnam is under consideration by the Senate Armed Services Committee, with a decision by chairman John C. Stennis, D-Miss. promised by tonight.
Kissinger told the appropriations committee that the administration would be satisfied with a catch-all contingency fund, but that it should include the full military aid requested to permit a modicum of military stabilization in South Vietnam.
With new U.S. aid to Saigon, the settlement and improve Kissinger and
However, he said, if Congress refuses assistance the only negotiations that would be possible would be the arrangement of the surrender of South Vietnam.
U. S. officials said privately that the number of Americans in South Vietnam would be cut to about 1,000 within a week or two. Kissinger told the Senate Apparel and Games Committee there were well below 5,000 Americans currently in the country.
Kissinger said there had been no threats from the South Vietnamese government to the United States.
Testimony ends in Connally case
WASHINGTON (AP) - Testimony ended Tuesday in the bribery trial of John B. Connally, former secretary of the treasury, who was accused that he never accented an illegal payoff.
The case could go to the jury by late today and defend arguments by prosecution and defense.
Connally was the 11th and final witness to defense. The misconception has called 39 witnesses.
During his cross-examination Connally said there were some inaccuracies in testimony he had previously given under oath to a federal grand jury and to the judge who ruled that no inaccuracies were either inadvertent or made through lack of information, he said.
In the end, the case will depend mainly on whose account the jurors believe: Connally's or that of his chief accuser, Jake Jacobsen.
The case boiled down to Jacobsen saying he gave Connally $5,000 on each of two occasions in 1971 after, Jacobsen said, Connally was instrumental in getting a milk producer for milk producers. Jacobsen represented milk producers as a lawyer and lobbyist.
Jacobsen also testified that when investigators closed in two years later, Connally twice gave him $10,000 to make it appear that the money Jacobsen had gotten from the milk producers for Connally had never left Jacobsen's safe deposit box.
offered him $10,000 on two occasions for his use as political contributions, but that Connally rejected the offers. The later meetings, when Jacobsen said Connally wanted to replace the money, were concerned with other matters, Connolly testified.
Connally's version was that Jacobsen
In his testimony Connally said some of his earlier answers had been inaccurate because he had been less than through in preparation for a 1973 grand jury appearance.
"Never in my wildest dreams at that time, never in my wildest nightmares back then could I foresee I would be sitting here today." Connally said.
"I didn't think it would amount to a hill of beans," he said. "I didn't pass attention to it." He said his friend had just come across the
