Evel accused
OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (UPI) — Motorcycle stuntman
Evel Knieval has been charged with injuring a barroom
patron, acting Police Chief Ed Turner reported
Wednesday.
Turner said a warrant was sworn out by by William
Kretschmar, 31, of nearby Fort Lauderdale. Turner said
Knieval was being harassed early Tuesday by the man
who wanted the motorcyclist to buy him a drink.
When Kretschmar persisted, the chief said, Knievel
pushed him and he hit his head on a table. Kretschmar
claimed in the warrant he was treated for facial injuries
at a nearby hospital as a result of the tussle, but Turner
said he was treated at the scene by a rescue squad.
FBI on the job
ST. LOUIS (UPI) - FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley,
denying a congressional charge, said Wednesday night
the FBI conducts domestic intelligence operations to
prevent violence and does not investigate groups or
individuals solely because of their political views.
“Threats to bloody up our Bicentennial celebrations
have ranged from bombing the Liberty Bell to
perpetrating a massacre in Washington, D.C.,” Kelley
said. “Crime in the United States has grown to such
magnitude that many citizens are under virtual house
arrest.”
No peace seen
CHICAGO (UPI) — Yosef Tekoah, former Israeli
ambassador to the United Nations, says there will be no
peace as long as the Palestinian Liberation Organization
is on Lebanese soil.
Addressing a luncheon of the Jewish United Fund-Israel
Emergency Fund Wednesday, Tekoah said as long as the
PLO is “on Lebanese soil, whatever the nature of the
cease-fire reached to end hostilities, there will be no
peace.”
He said the Christian community in Lebanon was “com
pletely abandoned by the Christian world” during recent
civil strife in that country.
Mehta goes east
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Zubin Mehta, music director
of the Los Angeles philharmonic Orchestra for 14 years,
said Wednesday he will become director of the New York
Philharmonic in the fall of 1978.
The Bombay-born Mehta said he will succeed
Frenchman Pierre Boulez as music director of the
Manhattan-based orchestra, and will on occasion share
the podium with Leonard Bernstein, its conductor laurea
te.
He took the New York position because of an “urge to
meet new challenges,” he said. “I felt this was the
opportunity for a new stimulus. I felt it itching inside of
me."
Miss California
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - College Coed Joni Pennock
will represent California in the Miss Universe contest in
Niagara Falls, N.Y. May 28.
Miss Pennock, 19, a blue-eyed blonde from the Los
Angeles suburb of Northridge with measurements of 34-
22-34, won the title of Miss California Universe over 41
other contestants Tuesday night.

Congress
approves
new limit
By NEA/London Economist News Sercie
WASHINGTON - (LENS)
— Congress will shortly vote
to extend America’s fishing
limits to 200 miles from the
coast. A Senate bill proposing
the new limits was passed
overwhelmingly last week.
The House had passed a bill
earlier. Now it needs only
slight co-ordination between
the two versions and the new
law will land on President
Ford’s desk for signature this
spring, coinciding em
barrassingly with the reopen
ing in New York of the United
Nations’ long-running Law of
the Sea Conference.
The Administration believes
that such a claim to a 200-mile
limit will undermine the
attempt of America and the
other major powers to resist
unilateral extensions of
territorial waters by poorer
countries. Even so, Mr. Ford
is expected to sign the bill and
America's new limits will
probably come into force in
July, 1977.
That would give one more
season's catch to the foreign
fleet of some 150 trawlers,
freezers and factory ships
now working the rich New
England banks where the
mackerel season is just
reaching its peak. Most of
these vessels are Russian,
East European or Japanese.
Ten years ago they were
hardly apparent; today they
account for nearly 75 per cent
of the New England catch.
Not surprisingly, the fish
stock has been depleted by the
invasion, catches are down
and tempers along the New
England coast are up. Much
the same is true in the
Pacific, where the fecund
banks off Washington state
have recently been over
fished.
The New Englanders,
however vocal, are by no
means the biggest force in the
fishing industry, which
employs 130,000 people across
the nation. The long-distance
tuna-fish trawlers, based in
San Diego in southern Califor
nia, and the shrimpers from
ports along the Gulf of Mexico
land a greater catch. And they
are standing resolutely
against the 200-mile limit.
Much of their haul is made
off the coasts of Latin
America. If the United States
enforces its new limits, so
may a number of Latin
American countries. Some
have already done so. In the
past the American govern
ment has refused to recognize
these claims and has given
assistance to its own fishing
fleet in the disputed waters.
But that, it seems, will soon
have to stop.
America's largest fishing
port, Kodiak in Alaska, is un
decided how to react to the
new proposals. Foreign fleets
caught fish worth $440 million
in Alaskan waters last year,
most of it groundfish (which is
seldom eaten in the United
States) and salmon. Japan
already owns about 20 per
cent of Alaska's fishery in
vestment. So there are strong
political forces arguing
against frightening important
foreign employers away.
The 200-mile zone, however,
would not be exclusively
reserved for American
fishermen, many of whom are
already far less efficient than
their foreign competitors.
Foreign vessles will be given
licenses to fish in America's
new waters if their countries
allow reciprocal
arrangements for Americans.
These licenses will be careful
ly regulated, and probably
sold, according to the level of
fish stocks.
Since America will control
about a fifth of the world’s
fish catch (for human con
sumption) within its newly
claimed waters, the
authorities will need to be
generous in allowing foreign
boats access to them. If they
are not, the rules will only be
flouted. America's coastguard
will not be able to police the
200-mile claim effectively.
Sporadic arrests aimed at en
forcing the limits, and the in
ternational incidents that
would follow, are just what
both the State and Defense
departments justifiably fear.
But by the time the new
limits are claimed, the Law of
the Sea Conference may have
established an international
code making the Congress’s
sudden grab look more like
part of a global plan.

THREE-PART SHIP
HAMBURG (UPI) - A
Hamburg shipyard is building
the largest crane ship in the
world for the Soviet Union.
A spokesman for Blohm and
Voss said the ship will have a
giant crane able to lift 2,500
tons. The ship will be built in
three parts, transported to the
Caspian Sea and assembled
there.
