Mrs. Dayan calls France pro Arab
ST. LOUIS (UPI)—Mrs. Moshe Dayan, wife of Israel's defense minister, said Wednesday she does not believe French President Georges Pompidou is sincere in his statements that France is not pro Arab and has close relations with Israel.
Pompidou, speaking before Congress in Washington Wednesday, said his country has never intended to "be detrimental to any nation nor to serve another."
He also called for an Arab-Israeli settlement under conditions arranged by the United Nations and the big four.
Mrs. Dayan dismissed the suggestions.
"That is not the answer," she said at a news conference here.
"It's so easy for us to understand the Arabs, and only people who do not understand both sides should sit down and talk."
She said the Arabs "could easily sit down and negotiate. But as long as they don't sit down I doubt that there will be an end to the crisis in the Middle East.
"If my husband and Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser sat down together they would have great understanding," she added.
Referring to reports that the United States is about to sell another 25 planes to Israel, Mrs. Dayan said, "I'm delighted that more planes will be sold to us, but it still will not balance the
arms race."
She said, "Egypt has had more planes and supplies from the Russians than we've had from the United States or from all over the world."
Mrs. Dayan, who is on a fund-raising tour of the United States, said the Jews in this country "should feel the responsibility of Israel. Israel could not survive economically without help from Jews in the United States."
She skirted questions about the
recent alleged Arab terrorist bombing of a Swiss airliner in which 47 persons were killed and the machine-gunning of a tourist bus in the northern outskirts of biblical Hebron.
Mrs. Dayan did comment, however, on the recent explosion aboard a jet airliner carrying her son. She said, "The Arabs didn't know he was aboard. They could have kidnaped him before he left because some Arabs were in the airport lounge with him."
UMW official indicted by federal grand jury
CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPI) — Sillous Huddleston, the father of one of four persons already under indictment in the murder of former United Mine Workers (UMW) official Joseph A. "Jock" Yablonski, was also indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury.
Huddleston, 61, president of a UMW local in La Follette, Tenn., was indicted and then arrested by FBI agents shortly after he appeared before the federal grand jury and refused to testify.
The indictment, similar to those handed down against the four other suspects, charged Huddleston with conspiring to kill Yablonski, who was to be a witness before a federal grand jury in Washington.
Friends urge freer access
ST. LOUIS (UPI)—A report prepared for the American Friends Service Committee and scheduled for publication Thursday urges freer access to contraceptives, more sex education, and repeal of abortion laws as answers to overpopulation.
The committee said Wednesday the report "explores the moral issues involved in man's increasing control over birth and death and arrives at 'some answers for today.'"
The report was made by a Quaker working party and grew "out of Quaker concern for the quality of human life."
"We must control our fertility and bring population and resources into balance," the group reported. Toward this end "contraception is preferable to abortion but . . . abortion performed under proper conditions is preferable to the birth of an unwanted child."
- Freer access to contraceptives.
- The group urged implementation of five proposals:
- Publicly supported family planning and abortion services for the general public as part of accepted medical care.
- Repeal of all abortion laws.
- Availability of counseling and social services to women requesting abortion.

Huddleston, father of Annette Lucy Gilly, was also charged with possessing a fund which would be used to finance the conspiracy against Yablonski.
Huddleston spent about 10 minutes before the panel investigating the Yablonski slayings. In previous appearances he had pleaded the fifth amendment.
"I did not answer their questions," said Huddleton, whose local is part of UMW District 19. "I was instructed not to by my attorney. If you answer one question you have to answer them all."
Huddleston's daughter and her husband, Paul Gilly, 36, were charged with being the alleged "payoff pair" in the slaying of Yablonski, his wife and daughter. The other two suspects are Aubran Wayne Martin, 23, and Claude Edward Vealey, 26.
The latest indictment said Huddleston allegedly invited various other persons, whose names are unknown to the grand jury, to join in the conspiracy. He also was accused of meeting in La Follette with Paul Gilly on several occasions to discuss the terms of the conspiracy to kill Yablonski.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the arrest of Huddleston was part of the FBI's "continuing nationwide investigation" in the murders.
The Yablonskis were killed in their Clarksville, Pa., home Dec. 31. Their bodies were not discovered until Jan. 5. The murders occurred about a month after Yablonski lost a bitterly contested election to unseat incumbent UMW president W. S. "Tony" Bovle.
"If you ask my opinion it was a bunch of coal operators," said Huddleston. "They don't want to sign contracts, they do not want to pay for labor."
Huddleston said neither he, his daughter nor son-in-law were connected with the slayings.
