WASHINGTON With a majority of the Senate expressing confidence in Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's integrity, congressional leaders declared Thursday that government wiretapping is justified and legal when done to protect national security. A majority of 51 senators had signed a resolution introduced by Sen. James B. Allen, D-Ala., calling Kissinger's integrity and veracity "above reproach." Meanwhile, the Foreign Relations Committee was preparing to reopen its investigation of allegations that Kissinger initiated wiretaps on 13 former aides and four newsmen to find the source of news leaks during the period between 1969-71. Kissinger, who denies he initiated the taps, threatened in an emotional news conference in Salzburg, Austria, Tuesday to resign unless "some responsible form" cleared him of allegations that he lied about his role in the White House surveillance efforts. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield, one of those who signed the resolution of support, said he had "every ALEXANDRIA, Egypt The thunderous welcome President Nixon has received is just a symptom of a basic change of attitude toward the United States in this country. The issue that had plagued Egyptian American relations before last October's Middle East war was Washington's all-out support for Israel and what Cairo considered an utter disregard by the United States of Arab interests in an area where American interests abound. It was a change of attitude on the part of the United States following the October war that, in turn, brought a change in Egypt's stand. True, the United States supplied Israel with massive military aid during the October fighting and never let it down on what could 1 I ' - CUSTIN HOFFMAN "ALFREDO, ALFREDO!"

Mansfield, asked about the news leaks wiretapping, said he believed wiretaps "might be necessary for the protection and security of the nation" in certain instances. Republican Leader Hugh Scott agreed, saying that "the assumption that wiretapping is totally illegal runs up against the other situation how do you protect national security?" House GOP leader John J. Rhodes said documents leaked from the House Judiciary Committee which contradict Kissinger's explanation of his role in the taps obscured an essential question: "... were the wiretaps that were ordered justified for reasons of national security? 1 personally feel that this question can be answered in the affirmative." . Rhodes said Kissinger had "earned his credibility" and that his offer to go before the Foreign Relations Committee to answer all questions on the issue was "illustrative of his high character." Henry A. Kissinger Ehrlichman trial BEIRUT A four-man death squad of Arab guerrillas attacked the northern Israeli village of Shamir Thursday in what a Palestinian spokesman said was a protest against President Nixon's Middle East visit and his efforts "to beautify the ugly American face." . Three women, including an 18-year-old volunteer worker from New Zealand, were killed before the guerrillas were gunned down by settlers who rushed out from the settlement dining hall with machine guns. One Israeli was wounded. Three hours after the Shamir attack news from Gesell still uaiidlecMec ... law wnuwm J IS em WASHINGTON U.S. District Court Gerhard A. Gesell Thursday postponed for 24 hours a decision on whether John D. Ehrlichman, President Nixon's former No. 2 aide, will go on trial next week in the Ellsberg break-in case. There were indications that Gesell will order Ehrlichman to trial as scheduled. Gesell announced he was discussing jury selection, with Ehrlichman's lawyers present, and one of them, William S. Frates, disclosed he was canceling a scheduled has reason to welcome Nixon have been a matter of survival. But w hen the guns fell silent and gave way to peace initiatives, Cairo detected a U.S. move to strike a balance between Israelis and Arabs in a serious effort to seek a permanent settlement. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger made his first post-war visit to Egypt last November in quest of a cease-fire consolidation agreement which he clinched. . It was this visit that convinced President Anwar Sadat of Egypt that President Nixon, through Kissinger, had shifted Washington's position. But other considerations loomed in the background: First, Egypt's firm belief all along that the United States, by virtue of its great influence over Israel, was the one and only key to a voe" "!he OSU3PLETE ITUBEBJT JSv The Summer Tar Heel Is published by the University cf North Carolina Student Publications Board twice a eek, Tu2sd2S and Fridays, during the UMC Summer School sessions. 8 Offices ere et fcu;'dlf&3, Univ.

For one thing, the Soviet Union carried no weight with Israel. For another, it always dragged its feet on arms deliveries, using them, as Sadat'once put it, as an instrument of pressure. Third, Sadat's firm conviction that Egypt shoul4 have balanced relations between the two superpowers, once his main grievance against the United States blind support of Israel has been eliminated. Such a balance, he believes, will enable him to draw on American as well as Soviet aid to move his nation forward in the economic, scientific and technological fields after years of stagnation. TT1 1 Pj hi Oil tape necessary rify-IRS misuse WASHINGTON Many members of the House Judiciary Committee concluded Thursday they must obtain the last 15 ' minutes of a White House tape to determine whether President Nixon authorized using the Internal Revenue Service to harass political enemies. House Republican Leader John J. Rhodes meanwhile told reporters he was holding to a prediction that the committee will recommend impeachment of the President. Evidence presented to the committee Thursday, according to some members, links Nixon's two top former aides, H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, to White House use of the IRS to favor the President's friends and harass his enemies. The members said they also heard the first half of the tape of a Sept. 15, 1972, Oval Office conversation involving Nixon, Haldeman and former counsel John W. Dean III. They said Nixon and Haldeman discussed using the IRS to harass persons on the White House "enemies list," but they heard no evidence to indicate the President actually authorized it.

Ehrlichman, as head of the old White House "plumbers" special investigative unit, had been scheduled to go on trial Monday with three others in connection with the 1 97 1 burglary of the office of Pentagon Papers defendant Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. But Gesell said Tuesday he would sever Ehrlichman's case from the others because of White House refusal to produce subpoenaed documents Ehrlichman deemed vital to his defense. Then on Wednesday, citing significant" changes in the White House position, Gesell said that severance may not be necessary. Ehrlichman previously had objected to the system devised by the White House to allow him to read the material. He objected that he was not permitted to make copies of the material or have his lawyer present. began, the military command in Tel Aviv reported artillery fire from Lebanese territory toward Israeli positions at Har Dov, but said no casualties were reported. It was the first report of shooting from Lebanese territory since the Israeli-Syrian troop disengagement accord took effect May 31. Information Minister Aharon Yariv also tied the attack on the honey-producing settlement near the Lebanese border to Nixon's forthcoming visit and warned other guerrillas may launch further assaults in the next several days. Nixon is to arrive in Israel Sunday. UPI Correspondent Richard C. Gross reported from Shamir that army officers picking through the debris of the packing plant following the shootout said two guerrillas had been shot to death and two had been blown up. One died under a green pickup truck that exploded outside the plant and another died, possibly in a suicide explosion, inside the building. Two of the women also died inside the plant. The raid was the third major guerrilla attack since April carried out by the Popular Front for the- Liberation of Palestine General command. Arab suicide squads killed 18 Israelis in the nearby town of Qiyrat Shemona and more than 30 more died at Maalot. The guerrilla spokesman from Damascus, in a reference to the tumultuous welcome given Nixon in Cairo, said: "Three weeks ago American planes flown by the Israelis bombed the refugee camps of our people in Lebanon. Today Arab capitals are bestowing the highest medals and honors on the killers of our people." "The Shamir operation expresses the Palestinian people's stand and the stand of the entire Arab masses in their opposition to attempts aimed at forcing the region to bow down at the feet of America," he said. Calley Ibaffl revoked. NEW ORLEANS A federal appeals court Wednesday revoked former Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr.'s $1,000 bail and ordered him placed in military custody until all appeals are finished in his conviction of killing no less than 22 unarmed South Vietnamese at My Lai in 1968. The order placed Calley back in military custody and gave the Army full discretion as to where Calley would be placed until his appeal is heard in a Georgia U.S. district court. The order followed by 24 hours a hearing before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Attorneys for Calley argued his bail should be continued because his case was unprecedented and that killing civilians in a combat zone cannot be compared with mass murder in the United States. 25 Ho 6 Pit' Last chance to "Spend Less with a Spin Today thru Saturday, spin the eel of Fortune for DISCOUT on all merchandise (except previous: sale items) from 5-25 a . , at wears inoes ourri University Square, Next to GranvilleXV T- - V. . ! r' . . y. . v V Sj.j jgwnfymwwmmwfgs naff '" x i i. y ,.J , - I , J ELnjoy Coca-Cola.
