Bucher back to the witness
table was made by the Pueblo
skipper’s civilian lawyer, E.
Miles Harvey.
No date has been set for
Bucher’s second appearnce. It
could come next week, after the
court finishes hearing testimony
from 74 Pueblo enlisted men on
thier 11 months in a Communist
prison.
To Testify
Four more Pueblo crewmen
were called to testify in open
court today. The court went into
secret session in the afternoon
for four other men, all from the
vessel’s espionage unit.
Eleven more men testified
Thursday raising to 44 the
number who have told their
stories.
Some testimony unfavorable
to Bucher’s conduct of the
Pueblo has come from enlisted
men who passed through the
court during the last two weeks.
Gunner’s Mate I.C. Kenneth R.
Wadley, 30, Beaverton, Ore.,
told the court Thursday no
procedure was devised for
opening the ammunition lockers
for the Pueblo’s .50 caliber
machine guns when the crew
went to battle stations.
Engineman 3.C. Roy J.
Maggard, 22, Olivehurst, Calif.,
testified earlier the machine
guns were mounted in away
that exposed them to enemy
fire, and the crew was
inadequately trained to operate
them.
Disturbed Over Failure
The five admirals also are
obviously disturbed over failure
of the Pueblo’s Intelligence unit
to destroy its secret papers and
equipment as the North
Koreans closed in.
The court of inquiry’s findings
may not be disclosed for some
time, a Navy spokesman said
Thursday, contradicting reports
they would be available soon
after the close of testimony
here.
The spokesman said the
recommendations will not be
ready for presentation to Adm.
John J. Hyland, commander in
chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet,
for “two or three weeks” after
testimony ends.
Normal Navy procedure calls
for them to be reviewed by the
secretaries of Navy and De
fense. They could even go to the
White House.
The Navy has said all along
that findings about the electro
nic espionage in which the
Pueblo was engaged will not be
made public.
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
PARIS (UPl)—The name of
the game is "new era.” This is
the central idea being pushed
by President Nixon and his
senior advisers as they move
from country to country in
Western Europe.
The President is convinced
that if he is to lead his own
war-weary country into greener,
calmer pastures, some way
must be found to reduce the
(Comment)
element of crisis which has kept
the Western world on edge since
the late 1940’5.
Noxon has stressed at every
opportunity in private talks with
his European counterparts that
the United States was more
than willing to enter a new era
of negotiation with the Soviet
Union and countries more or
less under Communist influence
if the other side would see
world problems in the same
light.
Ask Questions
This is one reason he asked so
many questions of the leaders
of Great Britain, Belgium, West
Germany and Italy before
coming to Paris today.
He was trying to find out how
they felt.
By promising to consult them
at every preparatory stage and
even during high level negotia
tions with the Russians, Nixon
hoped to rekindle some of the
American-European friendship
fires that burned so brightly a
few years back.
Some of the more down-to
earth European leaders have
regarded Nixon’s current tour
as a warm-up for his efforts
later this year to deal directly
with the Russians. There was a
time when the new U.S.
administration was rather sensi
tive about such an interpreta
tion. But not now.
Safer Place
Nixon feels chances of making
the world a safer place to live
also would involve working out
or encouraging a Middle East
arrangement with which both
Israel and the Arab world could
get along.
He is shooting for high
diplomatic stakes in the long
run.
Until the French segment of
the trip, he was receiving what
he took t,o be encouragement
from the leaders with whom he
talked. However, Charles de
Gaulle always has been some
thing of a question mark.
The last thing the President
wanted to do was step on de
Gaulle's toes. Nixon had been
thoroughly briefed on the
•general’s attitudes.
It should be interesting to see
or detect in Paris whether de
Gaulle had been similarly well
briefed on Nixon.

Israel’s Eshkol
Buried In Hills
By ROBERT MUSEL
UPI Senior Editor
AIN KAREM, Israel (UPI)—
Israel buried Premier Levi
Eshkol today in the rolling
Judean hills he had tilled as a
farmer and defended as a
statesman.
Eshkol’s casket, draped in the
nation’s Star of David flag,
moved solemnly down Jerusa
lem’s ancient streets, then out
into the sunny countryside.
Helicopters whirled overhead
and dozens of soldiers, their
submachine guns cocked, stood
guard. •
Slowly the cortege wound up
the slope of Mount Herzl
overlooking the Biblical village
of Ain Karem. From the top,
the view commands the Me
diterranean to the west, Bethle
hem to the south and the Dead
Sea to the east.
Returns To Hills
“I’m no city man,” Eshkol
often had said. “I’m a fallah
(farmer).” He wished aloud to
his friends that he wanted to
leave his busy office and return
to the hills he had farmed as a
young man fresh from Russia.
Today the tiny nation Eshkol
had led for five years, including
six days of war in 1967, honored
his wish.
Mindful of the Arab neighbors
who threaten the country and
who considered Eshkol a mortal
enemy, Israeli security for the
burial was exceptionally tough.
Throngs estimated to total
250,000 lined the wide avenues
of southwest Jerusalem long
before ceremonies began in the
Plaza facing the Knesset
(parliament).
Dignitaries Assemble
Four thousand dignitaries
from around the world, includ
ing U.S. Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Robert
Finch, assembled to hear brief
tributes to Eshkol, who died
Wednesday of a heart attack at
the age of 73.
After a brief address by Brig.
Gen. Shlomo Goren, chief
Chaplin of the Israeli armed
forces, Jerusalem’s chief rabbi,
Iser Yehuda Unterman, recited
the Hebrew prayer of justifica-

Longshoremen
Still Striking
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) —
Representatives of a Jackson

cal meet with other union offi
cials today in an effort to end
the long dock strike, still par

Nixon has stressed at every
agencies filed a $196,000 damage
suit agai ns t local 1408 of
the International Longshore
men's Association in Jackson
ville in connection with the
strike.
The shippers charged that the
"local was conducting a second
ary boycott because other ports
along the South Atlantic coast
have settled their strikes lo
cally while Jacksonville union
leaders have not even-put the
proposed general contract to a
vote.
Officials of the local met with
other ILA representatives
Thursday, but they declined
comment on the discussions and
said they would be resumed to
day.
The suit was filed in U.S.
District Court by the Atlanta
law firm of Fisher and Phillips
which represents the shipping
agents.
The shippers charged that
they have suffered $6,000 dam

management came to a general
agreement Jan. 25, and that the
local has violated a “no strike”
clause in the agreement.

tion.
Then the country’s president,
Zalman Shazar, for decades a
close associate of Eshkol,
related his friend’s work as
premier and politician. Shazar
wept.
The ICadish prayer for the
dead was read and Chief Rabbi
Izhak Nissim performed the
rending of clothes. Then the
cortege began its slow journey
to Mount Herzl.
Flower-draped command cars
and jeeps led the cortege.
At the graveside, the officer
escort and a 30-man honor
guard stood at attention while
the cantor sang final prayers
and the coffin was lowered into
the grave.
Then 60 soldiers fired three
volleys each and 50 girl soldiers
laid wreaths around the burial
site.

Accused In
Hijack To Cuba
ATLANTA (UPI) — Lorenzo
Edward Ervin Jr., 22, of Chat
tanooga, Tenn., has been ac
cused in federal warrants as
the gunman who hijacked an
Eastern airliner Tuesday and
forced it to Cuba.
The FBI said Thursday that
Lorenzo, a former college stu
dent and unemployed at the
time of the hijacking, had been
charged in federal warrants
with aircraft piracy and kidnap
ing.
Both charges carry a maxi
mum penalty of death.
There were 61 passengers and
7 crew members aboard East
ern flight 955 Tuesday when a
Negro gunman forced a
stewardess at gunpoint to open
the pilot’s compartment, where
he ordered the plane to Cuba.
The aircraft was returned
from Havana the same day.

Violence On Campuses
Students Bring Out
Boards, Chains, Guns
By United Press International
Violence broke out between
White students and Negroes at
Ferris State College in Big
Rapids, Mich., early today as
White students spilling out of
their dormitory for a fire alarm
came upon two Negro students
bringing their dates back home
to another dorm.
Sixteen students were injured
—two of them held for
treatment of head injuries—in a
melee in which students broke
out boards, chains and even zip
guns. One student was arrested
for carrying a concealed
weapon.
At the University of Califor
nia, police swung their clubs in
the rain and charged picket
lines set up at the entrances to
the Berkeley campus and
arrested a dozen persons. Two
student leaders were clubbed
unconscious.
Stink Bombs
At the University of Wiscon
sin, the chant of “On strike,
shut it down” went up again as
student militants broke windows
and threw stink bombs into
campus buildings. Students
protesting the planned explusion
of 31 students at the University
of Chicago also threw stink
bombs into buildings.
At other campuses:
Texas: The executive commit
tee of Wiley College—closed
after demonstrations by some
of the 750 students at the all-
Negro school in Marshall, Tex.
met in Houston and set up a
trustee group to study the case.
Students demanded the resigna
tion of President T. Winston
Cole. The committee expressed
confidence in Cole, who had
ordered the school closed.
Re-Estabrish Lines
Tennessee—The University of
Tennessee Young Democrats
called on Gov. Buford Ellington
to “re-establish the fallen lines
of communications” between
administrators and students at
the Knoxville school.
New York—About 300 Colum
bia University students, mostly
members of the Students for a
Democratic Society, staged sit
ins at two buildings to discuss
racism, academic freedom and
the Vietnam War. The sit-ins
followed a rally by the
Conservative Students for Co
lumbia University. In other
action, acting President Andrew
Cordier said he would recom
mend the trustees drop plans
for a new gymnasium in
Morningside Park.

Moderates Are Best Hope
To Heal Mideast's Wounds
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
Though Russian influence has increased heavily in the
Middle East in the past two decades, strong forces would
aid U.S, attempts to help the moderates build democratic
political-socio-economic institutions reflecting- the will of
the peoples. . „
The growth of such democratic institutions and. the
resulting country-to-country political strengths and national
pride would decrease markedly the chances of war.
These changes, of course, could only be accomplished at
the request of and along lines suggested by the moderate
leaders of the Middle East world. To date, no forum has
been set up to listen to these leaders.
It is essential that neither the United States nor any
other outside country attempt to dictate the programs or
objectives. . , , .
What is needed is an intercountry group, as in the
Marshall Plan for Europe, which would make plans for the
region as a whole.
Consider these assets: . ■
1— Despite the publicity given firebrands, most countries
in the Middle East are moderate internationally—lran,
Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Turkey and Libya.
2— The moderate countries have been gaining m prestige
and influence. Iran has been making giant strides toward
upgrading opportunities for the underprivileged. Students
in Saudi Arabia have jumped from 2,300 in 1939 to 400,000
today. Literacy in Kuwait has risen to 50 per cent.
Saudi Arabia has provided $l2O million a year to Egypt
and Jordan since the war in Israel. Kuwait has given $132
million a year. These are strong and compelling argu
ments for Egyptian and Jordanian moderation.
3— There are strong forces for moderation even within
the United Arab Republic.
As one American study notes: “In spite of the rupture of
diplomatic relations with the United States, President
Nasser has allowed the American University at Cairo to
continue. The United Arab Republic has also continued to
co-operate fully with American oil companies operating in
Egypt. There is an apparent desire on his part not to burn 1
his bridges with Washington.”
4— The Soviet desire for adventurism in the Middle East
is restrained somewhat by the heavy cost of sustaining
Castro in Cuba, supporting Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi, aiding the
Arab countries defeated in the war with Israel and by the
increasing cost of competing with the growing activity of
Red Chinese agents in the area.
5— Genuine nationalism in the Middle East is more in
line with U.S. objectives than Soviet communism. Com*
munism, in fact, has been barred by major Middle Eastern
countries, including Iraq and Egypt.
6— and large, the United States has little need of bases
in the Middle East. U.S. oil companies have shown they
can work with a wide variety of arrangements, from nation
alization in Iran to concessions as in Saudi Arabia. The
Suez Canal is not vital to U.S. aims in the area.
