• fight on Mt. Hermon
By United Press International
Syrian and Israeli troops
fought on snow-capped Mt.
Hermon and the rocky battle
fields below today despite
Egyptian warnings the daily
Golan Heights clashes could
lead to a fifth Middle East war.
On the diplomatic front,
Soviet experts in London said
the Kremlin appeared to be
trying to torpedo U.S. attempts
to separate the opposing armies
along the tense Golan Heights
truce lines.
Syria said the latest fighting
broke out across all sectors of
the Golan Heights today, the
38th consecutive day of clashes
on the northern front.
The Syrian command said its
troops went into action before
dawn after the Israelis opened
fire with tanks and artillery.
Egypt May Join In Fighting
In Cairo, news reports quoted
War Minister Ahmed Ismail
today as saying Egypt would
join in if the Golan Heights
fighting gets worse.
“What is going on now on the
Syrian front is a war of
attrition,” Ismail said. “If it
develops into serious fighting or
if the situation becomes criti
cal, there is no doubt that we
will take part in the fighting.”
Syrian President Hafez
Assad, back from a five-day
visit to Moscow, said Wednes
day night the Golan Heights
fighting would continue until
the Israelis pull out of the area.
“We will have to continue the
struggle, using all methods,
until our objective is realized,”
Assad said in a nationwide
radio and television broadcast.
“Our objective is just peace.”
Syria has insisted on total
Israeli withdrawal from the
heights, scene of the bitterest
fighting since last October’s 17-
day war, as part of any Middle
East peace settlement. The 1973
war was the fourth in the
region in 25 years.
Russia Promises Help
During Assad’s Moscow visit,
the Soviet Union promised to
strengthen Syria’s defenses.
Beirut’s A1 Anwar newspaper
said Moscow also agreed
privately to intervene directly
if needed to “deter Israeli
aggressions” against Syria.

London said today the Kremlin
appeared to be trying to

East negotiations after taking a
back seat to the personal
diplomacy of Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger.
The experts said the recent

the store shortly before clos
ing time he tried to avoid
waiting on me; I was per
sistent and he finally made
the sale. He was very
brusque, without saying a
word he placed the package
on the counter and walked
away. I left the store at once
but he was several paces
down the street when I
reached the front door. I was
so indignant that I reported
the incident to the manager.
He apologized and offered to
wait on me himself whenever
I came into the store. How do
you feel about my method of
handling this clerk?
A. I agree with you. Con
sumers like yourself perform
a great service to business
management in pointing out
the annoyances you encounter
in their stores. Most retail
managers understand and
pattern their policies after
this principle: A customer
really buys the store, the
benefits she expects to gain
from the product and the as
sistance she receives from the
clerk. If she is not pleased
with any one of these three,
she will, very likely, shop
elsewhere in the future.
Miller
hearing
scheduled
ATLANTA (UPI)-U.S. Dis
trict Court Judge Richard Free
man will hold a hearing today on
a $1.15 million damage suit filed
against the state by Dr. Gary
Miller, who recently was fired
as state mental health director.
Gov. Jimmy Carter Wednes
day released letters to the court
explaining why Miller was fired
from his position, and they in
dicate Carter initially balked at
the dismissal.
When Human Resources offi
cials refused to say why Miller
was fired, Miller’s attorney
sought the letters through a
court subpoena.
On April 6, the day after Mill
er was fired, Carter sent a
handwritten note to Jack Wat
son, chairman of the Board of
Human Resources, asking for an
explanation.
Carter said in the note,” it is
not right to dismiss him without
pay. . .1 can’t agree with this
kind of punitive action.”
Watson responded in a three
page answer, also dated April 6,
that Miller was fired because he
couldn’t get along with others
in the Department of Human Re
sources, the agency under which
Miller’s Division of Mental
Health operated.
Watson said in his answer to
Carter that Miller had been un
cooperative with other state of
ficials and dogmatic in his re
fusal to listen to others. Watson
also criticized Miller as being
“zealously devoted to patients’
rights.”
He said “we have spent hun
dreds of man-hours trying to re
duce tensions generated” by
Miller’s attitude.
Carter, who was instrumental
in bringing Miller to Georgia,
said Wednesday in a statement
after the documents were re
leased that he played no legal
part in Miller’s firing, since
that authority is given by law
to the commissioner of the De
partment of Human Resources.
“I have made it clear my high
personal and professional re
gard for Dr. Miller,” the gover
nor said. “I have not changed
my opinion of him.”

Subpoenas coming from all directions
By JANE DENISON
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sub
poenas to produce White House
tapes are coming at President
Nixon from all directions —the
latest from Charles Colson, one
of the defendants in the
Watergate cover-up case.
Colson, a former presidential
Noisy airports
may get quieter
By L. EDGAR PRINA
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - Good
news for Americans who live
in the vicinity of major air
ports — things are going to get
quieter, but it may take
awhile.
First, the Federal Aviation
Administration plans to order
aircraft owners to shape up or
phase out their older and nois
ier jets.
Second, it is considering a
requirement for steeper de
scents for landings on more
than 100 runways at 58 major
airports.
The proposed FAA rule for
modification or retirement of
all jet aircraft weighing 75,000
pounds or more which fail to
meet the noise standards
adopted in December, 1969,
has a compliance date of July
1, 1978.
Among the planes affected
would be the Boeing 707, 727,
737 and the McDonnell Doug
las DC-8 and DC-9.
The rule would apply to all
civil subsonic jets operated by
U.S. domestic and flag car
riers, supplemental airlines,
commercial operators, air
travel clubs, air taxis, general
aviation operators, and for
eign flag air carriers that land
and take off in the United
States.
In an advance notice of pro
posed rule making for all civil
turbojet aircraft, the FAA
said it was considering a re
quirement of two-segment In
strument banding System
(ILS) approach procedures in
an effort to reduce noise lev
els in communities surround
ing the 58 airports.
Alexander P. Butterfield,
FAA administrator, said the
new procedure could cut noise
levels in airport communities
from five to 15 decibels by
using a steeper-than-usual
glide slope on the initial seg
ment of the ILS approach.
The greatest improvement
would occur from three to
eight miles from the landing
runway along the ILS ap
proach path where noise lev
els would be cut significantly.
“In this case we would be
trying to keep the source of
noise away from people on the
ground for a longer period,”
one FAA official said.
“Planes would start their de
scent when they are closer to
the airport.”
He asserted that a cut of
from 10 to 15 decibels would
essentially halve the noise.
Under the two-segment pro
cedure, aircraft would begin
making their descent for
landing from a higher altitude
than they do now in conven
tional ILS approaches. Initial
descent would be at a five- to
six-degree angle beginning
approximately eight miles
from the landing runway with
a transition to the convention
al three-degree glide slope be
ginning approximately three
miles out.
On the proposed rule to
quiet noisier jets, the FAA
said the compliance date,
which is more than four years
off, was based primarily on
the time needed to produce
materials, manufacture ret
rofit hardware and install
acoustically treated engine
nacelle-airframe combina
tions.
In the case of older pure
turbojet aircraft for which no

aide indicted March 1 in the
Watergate cover-up along with
seven other ex-White House and
Nixon re-election officials,
asked Wednesday that a subpo
ena be issued for certain tapes
and materials before his
scheduled Sept. 9 trial.
The request, made in a two
paragraph motion filed with a
modification kits are avail
able, FAA noted they were be
ing retired from service at a
rate which indicates that few
will be in operation by 1978.
“This proposal attacks one
of aviation’s most persistent
and troublesome problems
and prescribes relief which
we believe can be justified
from both a technological and
economic standpoint,” But
terfield said.
The 1969 noise levels have
since been applied in the cer
tification of new aircraft
types such as the McDonnell
Douglas DC-10, Lockheed L
-1011, Boeing 747, Cessna Cita
tion and Dassault Falcon-10.
Most of these aircraft have
noise levels below the maxi
mum allowable.
In the advance notice of
proposed rule making, the
FAA is saying, in effect: “We
are thinking of doing this.
How should we go about it?
Your comments and sugges
tions would help us formulate
the proposed rule.”
Public comments on the ad
vance notice may be ad
dressed to the FAA chief
counsel in Washington, D.C.
Those received by June 30 will
be considered. Later notice of
a proposed rule will be issued.
Comment will again be solic
ited before it goes into effect.
The FAA is also soliciting
public comments on its pro
posed “quieter jets” rule and
will consider those received
by June 28.

Griffin Daily News Thursday, April 18,1974
U.S. District Court, also asked
that Colson’s lawyers be
allowed to inspect the mate
rials. .$
The action followed by one ::j:
day a request for a similar £
subpoena by Watergate Special :•:
Prosecutor Leon Jaworski.
Jaworski filed a lengthy affida- £
vit Tuesday seeking the access
to tapes and other documents >•
involving 64 meetings and
telephone conversations be- $
tween Nixon and several £
former top aides from June 20, '<
1972 to June 4, 1973.
Colson’s lawyer, Sidney Dick
stein, said his grounds for :•
seeking the subpoena were the ;i
same as the special prosecu- •:
tor’s.
In his affidavit, Jaworski said i
he was seeking the subpoena ;
“solely for the purpose of :
preventing any postponement of ;
the trial or delay during the :
conduct of the trial.” Colson is
presumably seeking the evi
dence to help prepare his
defense.
Jaworski asked the court to
order the White House to
answer the subpoena by 10 a.m.
EDT April 23.
U.S. District Court Judge
John J. Sirica, is expected to
act on Jarowski’s request when
he returns from vacation until
May 1.
Material dealing with a
number of conversations be
tween Nixon and Colson were
among those sought by Jawor
ski. Several of those talks
occurred in January and
February last year —about the
time, according to former
White House Counsel John W.
Dean 111, there were discus
sions at the White House
concerning possible executive
clemency for the original
bugging conspirators.
The proposed subpoena also
requests evidence involving
three conversations Nixon had
with Colson on June 20, 1972,
just three days after the
Watergate bugging arrests, and
one on March 21, 1973, the day
Nixon has said he first learned
the full facts of the cover-up.
