Quarrels persist as war slows

BANGKOK, Thailand—Although Vietnam accused Chinese troops of "plundering, burning people's homes and shelling," as they withdrew from Vietnam yesterday, it appeared that the Chinese-Vietnamese war was nearly over.
Vietnam's accusation was its first confirmation that China had begun moving back. China announced Monday that it was pulling out of Vietnam.
The Vietnamese confirmation of the Chinese pullback, coupled with Vietnam's promise to refrain from attacking withdrawing troops, made it apparent that the U.S. would be able to defeat the North.
However, in Washington, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke said "certain Chinese units" had returned to China.
But, he said, "I am not prepared to call it a withdrawal. It may only be redeployment."
Western intelligence sources in Bangkok said they had not seen evidence of a major Chinese withdrawal.
Libua boostina Amin's forces
NAIROBI, Kenya—Libya is flying massive amounts of military equipment into Uganda in preparation for a Ugandan counterattack against Tanzania. The U.S. has pledged $250 million to support the mission.
The expected Ugandan counterattack could open up the decisive phase of the four-month-old war, the diplomats said.
The diplomats said tanks, fighter planes, heavy artillery and infantry weapons had been flown to Entebee, Uganda's international airport, in a mission that began a week ago. The Libyan and Ugandan cargo planes have been making daily flights.
Ugandan President Idi Amin said recently that a counterstrike would be coming. In Uganda Radio broadcasts, he said it was time to hit the enemy hard.
Western diplomats said Tuesday that about 1,400 Libyan troops had been flown into Uganda to bolster Alim's forces. But the Libyan official news agency denied the report and said the only Libyans in Uganda were teachers, doctors and bank workers. The denial did not mention military supplies.
Carter in Egypt seeking peace
WASHINGTON—President Carter flee to Cairo last night for what Egyptian officials are calling "the final snarl of peace."
And U.S. officials said that although too many details remained for Carter to complete a treaty, they would not rule out the possibility of initialing a treaty on
Carter was to ride in a motorcade in Cairo on his arrival at 6 a.m. to open a three-day visit. Egyptians the hop the visit will boost President Anadar Sawat's
Also included in the negotiations are a Carter train ride tomorrow to Alexandria and a speech Saturday to the Egyptian Parliament in Cairo.
Carter then plans to go to Jerusalem Saturday night and to remain there until Monday.
In Cairo, Zhignewz Brezkinski, the U.S. national security adviser, outlined Carter's latest proposals to Sadat, Sadat's reaction was not known.
egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Khaifi said after the briefing that chances for a treaty were "rather good in my opinion." He said the Egyptian cabinet would study the U.S. proposals today and may seek some changes, although he hoped they would not be much different from the agreements reached at the Camp David summit meeting last fall.
Khomeini saus ministers weak
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran's provisional government appeared to be headed for a crisis yesterday after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called the nation's ministers weak and scaffed at them for that "everything should be copied from the West."
The government of Prime Minister Mikael Bazarag, appointed by Khomeini, expressed anger about the wave of secret arrests, trials and escapes carried out in the country.
Khoneimii's criticism came as rumors persisted that Bazargan was considering resigning in frustration over his lack of power. Bazargan added denied
Bazargan threatened to quit a week ago after he attacked the Khomeini followers who have been running a parallel government and undermining the
Khomeini, in a speech yesterday, attacked provisional government suggestions that Iranians should have the opportunity to set up a Western-style "state."
Lawuers open Silkwood debate
OKLAHOMA CITY—Conflicting comments on the amount of plutonium contamination suffered by nuclear worker Karen Silkwood were given by at-ten reporter Chris Titus.
Gerry Spence, a lawyer hired by Skilkwood's family, said an autopsy showed that Mr. Spence's lungs were more than double the amount of the radioactive substance known to cause him.
However, Bill Paul, lawyer for Kerr-McGee Corp., defendant in the trial, said tests showed Silkwood had suffered less than a quarter of the maximum safe tests.
The attorneys' comments came during the second day of a trial on an $11.5 million personal injury damage suit Silkwood's family filed against Kerrick
Spence spoke for nearly two hours and said he would submit evidence that Kerr-McGee made no effort to stop removal of plutonium from its Cinnamon armor. He told reporters that he had never been in contact with her.
Silkwood, who was in a traffic accident Nov. 13, 1974, had been a union activist and was gathering evidence of Kerr-McRumal's alleged safety negligence.
The trial, which began Tuesday in U.S. District Court after several delays, is expected to last about six weeks.
Grand jury indicts 2 oil firms
HOUSTON — A federal grand jury issued the first indictments yesterday in an inquiry into a petroleum pricing fraud, charging two companies and five of their employees.
U. S. Attorney Tony Canales, who has been investigating Department of Energy estimates on oil overcharges since July, said more indictments were due.
The 84-count indictment accused Uni Oil Co. of Houston, Ball Marketing Enterprises of Lafayette, LA., and officials of both companies of racketeering, mail or wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the Department of Energy between 1975 and 1977.
Since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, federal pricing regulations have allowed oil companies to charge $5 to a barrel of oil that was in production before 1973. The current price is about $16.40.
The defendants allegedly misrepresented 750,000 barrels of "old" oil as "new" oil in order to obtain the higher price.
Bergland weighs nitrites' future
Camales could he would seek forfortune of both companies. Maximum possible penalties for each individual, if convicted on each count, totaled 490 years in prison.
WASHINGTON—Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said yesterday that he would ask Congress to place a one-year moratorium on probating sodium fertilizer.
Last summer, the Justice Department was called in to examine food safety laws after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study linked sodium nitrite to heart disease.
Bergland said at a National Press Club luncheon that he would seek "authority to continue the phasedown" of sodium nitrites in meat.
The government was ordered to ban nitrites in foods, but policymakers have also considered the effectiveness of nitrites in preventing botulinum food poisoning.
Officials predicted that the Justice Department could recommend a ban or gradual elimination of sodium nitrites.
