U.S., Egypt plan peace conference. exclude PLO
From Our Wire Services
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt—The United States and Egypt will attempt to establish a working group of Mideast foreign ministers to prepare for a peace conference before the end of the year, Cyrus Vance, secretary of state, said yesterday.
He said that setting up the working group would require the approval of Israel, Syria and Jordan. Vance will stop in those countries during a visit to the region, during his 12-day visit to the region.
OUTLINING THE concept, Vance said participation would be limited to the "confrontation states" in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
That would exclude the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO), whose role in any reaccommodated peace talks has been a major issue in the resumption of a full conference in Geneva this fall.
Israel has said it will not negotiate with the PLO unless the Palestinian national renounces its vow to destroy Israel, a step the PLO has refused to take.
VANCE TOLD reporters that he and Anwar Sadat, Egyptian president, had reached no agreement in their talks yesterday on whether the PLO would be allowed an observer role in the working group.
Vance said the working group would meet as long as it was useful.
He said the ministers would meet in the United States in mid-September, probably in New York, but possibly in Washington as well.
The announcement of the working group followed reports from Egyptian sources that Sadat had rejected an American compromise plan for a five-year phased withdrawal of Israel forces from occupied territories in exchange for a similarly timed transition to full peace between Israel and the Arab states.
"WE MAY BE differing on certain issues," Sadat said, "but the fact remains that we are both seeking peace built on justice."
"We are ready to achieve peace. I am ready to sign a peace agreement tomorrow . . . Israel should do the same and withdraw from all occupied lands . . ."
"We are ready to achieve peace. I an
American sources confirmed Egyptian reports that the phased withdrawal plan had been put forward, but one U.S. source said it indicated one of several suggested during the talks.
Both Vance and Sadat refused to go into the details of the working group and did not directly answer questions on possible participation by the PLO.
"1 CAN ONLY say that without the
predicators, there cannot be peace in the
area."
Earlier yesterday, the Egyptian sources said Vance had suggested the PLO be accepted at the Geneva conference "if the agreement accepts the framework of the conference."
This will be an oblique way of answering Israeli objections to the PLO. By "accepting the framework of the conference," the PLO argues that a strong PLO that affirms "the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every state in the area and the right every state in the area to live in peace within boundaries free from threats or acts of force."
In other words, the PLO would accept the existence of the state of Israel without
having to go through the embarrassment of amending our own charter, as the Israelis do.
Vance met with Sadat for about three hours Monday night.
HODDING CARTER III, Vance's spokesman described the meetings as
are meetings in this city on the edge of the Mediterranean began with the Americans expressing caution and Sadat saying, "I am more than optimistic."
But the sessions themselves appear to have produced a shift. The Egyptians are expressing disappointment in the ideas of the French team in issuing the meetings were fruitful and helpful.
CIA documents reveal experiments in mind control
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The CIA yesterday released top secret documents showing that its mind and behavior control experiments included attempts to alter sexual patterns of and to test drugs on college students.
Responding to Freedom of Information Act requests, the agency made available 415 heavily censored pages from a pile of documents on the experiments it has been conducting on willing and unwitting Americans in the 1980s and 1960s.
Stansfield Turner, CIA director, said yesterday that the documents on the controversial projects, already investigated by Senate committees on the basis of partial
evidence, were found recently in retired archives in a financial accounts file.
Turner and a panel of former CIA experts on the behavior projects will testify today at a hearing in Chicago.
GENERAL OUTLINES of the discontinued mind and behavior control projects—run under the code names MKULTRA, KMULTI-RD, and KBIRD—were found in earlier investigations.
But the material released yesterday gave the first indication of the scope and cost of the operation. It showed that costs might have run into the tens of millions of dollars. Sums of up to $100,000 were paid to subcontracting institutions, hospitals, doctors,
psychiatrists, hypnotists and other experts assigned to carry out the experiments.
The program, begun in the early Cold War years as an effort to counteract alleged Soviet and Chinese brainwashing tactics, began in 1973 and was terminated in 1973.
THE NAMES OF the institutions and individuals were blacked out in copies supplied to reporters. They were reported to include some prominent experts and prestigious hospitals, some of them perhaps unaware they were working in projects funded by CIA-controlled front organizations.
One uncensored name, however, was that
of Sidney Gottlieb, physician and former chief of the agency's chemical and scientific division, who ran KMUILTRA and similar projects for many years.
"One "Memorandum for the Record," written by Gottlieb and dated June 9, 1953, said "Dr. (censured) at his two facilities" being on LSD "and related materials."
The documents did not indicate what was the result of these experiments or what was meant by the alteration of sexual patterns, but the results would be put into a field manual.
Gottlieb said the cost of the project would not exceed $89,833 for the period from July 5, 2014.
perimers were carried out both on volunteers and on unwitting subjects, including servicemen, prisoners and drug addicts.
IT SAID THAT EMPHASIS would be placed on translating basic data into pertinent material that covered such areas as the alteration of sexual patterns, the disturbance of memory and discrediting by aberrant behavior.
The earlier congressional investigations showed that drug and mind control ex-
The new documents showed that college students were also tested, although no evidence of the bias was found.
One long, undated memo on experiments using LSD and other drugs said that additional studies of college students would occur.
Fires threaten areas of California and Alaska
From our wire services
CLAYTON, Calif. --Forest and grass fires continue to plague California and Alaska yesterday. A 5,000-acre fire is racing across Mount Diablo near San Francisco, forcing the city to evacuate three small developments. Another blaze has burned 1,500 acres in the Los Padres National Park near Santa Barbara. In Alaska, there are 55 fires covering more than one million acres of tundra and forest. There is a threat to nearly a dozen Eskimo villages.
In Clayton, a town near San Francisco, firefighters battled to keep a 5,000-acre brush fire from homes on the slopes of Mt. Diablo.
The blaze, which could be seen from San Francisco and throughout the Bay area, was headed toward a development of new homes in the lower elevations of the mountain. It was the largest of an estimated

140 fires, mostly small, which broke on Monday night during an electrical storm.
NO MAJOR STRUCTURES were reported damaged or destroyed, and the California Department of Forestry said yesterday that 30 per cent of the Diable fire was contained. The department said it was hoping for full containment by late last month.

Other fires were reported from the redwood forests of Humbolt County in the northern Pacific.
Firefighters were hampered in their efforts to control the fires by a lack of equipment caused by the large number of fires and the fire danger throughout the state. Only two aerial bombers were assigned to the Diablo fire.
As the Diablo fire burned Monday night as the mountain, a popular state park, an unruly crowd gathered in Clayton to watch.
"THEY WENT CRAZY, driving across lawns, acting like a bunch of busses," Claude wrote. "They were asking people 'What people had' he told them all night. People were trying to get in and buy more beer after closing and threatening everybody. They were saying the cops to come and close down the place."
Authorities later closed the fire area to spectators.
By yesterday afternoon, smoke poured into the sky, forming a cloud that covered the ground.
had to content with the smoke to get to the fire, which was burning in mostly grass and soil.
Residents of the area watered down their roofs, fought burning cinders and cut dry vegetation.
"IT'S A REAL 'touch and go situation,' Bill Josephson, a mechanical engineer who owns a home in the fire area," said Tara O'Connor, an around here with their fingers crossed."
In Santa Barbara, an army of 1,000 firefighters aided by air tankers dropping fire retardant to contain a stubborn three-day-old "pre-shaped" brush and timber blaze in the Los Padres National Park, north of the area's major water reservoir.
The blaze, ignited Sunday, has chewed through 1,600 acres.
Fifty per cent of the blaze was contained, but there was no prediction of full containment because of a possible resurgence of fire and temperatures exceeding 100 degrees.
A WEEK AGO flames coared out of the canyon tops above Santa Barbara, driven by winds blowing to the sea, and consumed 244 expensive homes so quickly that firefighters were never able to prevent their destruction.
Erratic winds, coupled with hot temperatures and the long California drought, were responsible for driving the fires out of control.
