MEYER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Carter is getting a per sonal report from his negotia tors on their historic agreement to relinquish control of the Pan ama Canal by the year 2,000. The pact crowns efforts for a new treaty that began with bloodshed 13 years ago. U.S. Ambassadors Sol Linow itz and Ellsworth Bunker said they were returning from Pan ama today to meet with Carter. The President, at the White House for his first full day of work after a five-day vacation in his hometown of Plains, Ga., will receive a copy of the treaty once the principles of the agreement are drafted into treaty language. “He wants the treaty in his hands,” White House Press Secretary Jody Powell told re porters before leaving Georgia. “He wants to go over it word for word, line by line. And he wants the National Security Council and the Cabinet to go over it, too." Carter had hoped to reach an agreement on principles by Wednesday, when Linowitz’s term as special ambassador ex pired. Now the White House hopes to have the treaty drafted by the time Congress returns from its summer recess in September. The agreement reached late Wednesday is known to call for turning the canal and adjacent Canal Zone over to Panama by the end of this century.

U.S. officials in Panama City said, meanwhile, they expect Coca-Cola admits making ‘improper contributions’ ATLANTA (AP) - Coca-Cola Co. says it has made illegal or improper contributions of $1.3 million to political candidates or governmental officials in 20 countries, but no illegal funds went to candidates for the U.S. presidency. The company released a re port Wednesday detailing an in vestigation of its finances by a Washington, D.C., law firm hired by the company to exam ine questionable payments. The report was also given to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm an nounced the payments in April after the investigation began. Executive Vice President Charles W. Adams said the in vestigation, conducted by the firm of Arnold & Porter, was voluntary on the company’s part. And since it was voluntary, Adams said, the Securities and Exchange Commission did not require the recipients of the money to be identified. In a statement, the company said most of the payments dur ing the past 6% years covered by the report were made outside of the United States to gov ernment officials and employes, political candidates and parties, and labor union officials. The statement said Coca-Cola made payments of about $60,000 in connection with applications for government approvals; about $140,000 in political con tributions; about $380,000 in connection with approvals for Carter to make a public address soon to rally support for the terms of the treaty. They said price increases; about $95,000 in tax and other legal disputes; about $98,000 in termination of employes and about $165,000 in efforts to obtain “favorable business treatment and good will.” The payments also included about $145,000 in efforts to ex pedite routine governmental matters such as customs clear ances. About $14,500 of the payments were made inside the United States, with about SB,OOO for im proper political contributions, the statement said. No money went to candidates for president, but one legal committee donated $1,775 to co sponsor a luncheon for then candidate Jimmy Carter in 1976, the statement added. Board Chairman J.

Panamanian officials said there were plans to invite Latin American chiefs of state to a treaty-signing celebration in Panama City. Panamanians took the day off to celebrate the new accord after their leader, Gen. Omar Torrijos, decreed a national holiday. Torrijos said the agreement “signifies the recov ery of Panamanian sovereignty over all its territory.” To stem criticism in Con gress, the President has sent every member a message urg ing all senators and representa tives not to lock themselves into positions opposing the treaty at least until they see it and he talks to them about it. "We are going to have a pret ty decent treaty,” Powell said. The administration counts perhaps 50 senators as inclined to favor a new treaty, 22 as tending to oppose it and the rest undecided. Administration officials acknowledge it won’t be easy to muster the 67 votes needed for ratification. The House of Representatives must pass enabling legislation as part of the ratification pro cess, but only a majority vote is needed. And Panamanian vot ers must pass judgment on the treaty in a plebiscite. ployes involved in these trans actions were acting in a manner which they felt was in the best interest of the company.” No evidence was found that any former or present employes received personal gain from the payments, Austin added. The payments were made during a period begin ning Jan. 1, 1971. Easy street HURON, S.D. (AP) - You can be on Easy Street in Huron without knowing it.
