Nadar accuses
auto industry
of negligence
WASHINGTON Consumer crusader
Ralph Nader accused the auto industry
Monday of "criminal fraud or criminal
negligence"
provoking
R-Alaska,
by making unsafe cars,
Sen. Theodore Stevens,
into an angry, shouting
rebuttal.
' The outburst came at a Senate
Commerce Committee hearing.
Nader said a bill designed to require
Detroit to produce cars that are less
damageable and more easily repaired was
too weak in light of what he said was the
industry's "criminal fraud or criminal
negligence in the design of motor
vehicles."
Stevens, slapping his desk, told Nader
"I must take umbrage" at his testimony.
; Y"You look for the worst in people and
j not at what's good that's happening in
, this country," Stevens said.
' Nader shot back: "Do you give credit
to a burglar because he doesn't burglarize
99 per cent of the time? What kind of
nonsense is this?"
Stevens said if Nader knew of
"criminal" negligence on the part of the
industry he should present his evidence to
a grand jury, not at a Senate hearing.
"Get the indictment!" he shouted at
Nader. .
Nader responded to Stevens to "find a
district attorney with the guts" to indict
an auto maker.
. The pending bill was opposed by John
J.'Nevin, a vice president of the Ford
Motor Co. He said it would raise car costs
by several hundred dollars, do little to cut
insurance costs and infringe on a
customer's freedom of selection of a car.
Eights
lor new commitment
WASHINGTON The chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission said Monday
America will degenerate into a "divided nation with all kinds of civil disorder" unless
there is a new commitment to civil rights from everyone including President Nixon. t
The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh made the statement in making public a
commission report accusing the Nixon administration of failure to make any major
civil rights improvements in the eight months since the commission first accused the
government of inertia and hostility that threatened to nullify civil rights laws.
The commission said the administration had frustrated the hopes of minority f
groupswltfeVthe mre palliative of- tinkering and promises" . instead, of, aggressive
action. It said only "strong executive leadership" from the White House could help. -.
Hesburgh .a,nd ojer commissioners refused at a news; icCfflference to put all the
v Sfarhe on Nixon of any other of the past four Presidents because the "lack of moral
! commitment is with , the American people, the government, and the total
, bureaucracy." '
Summarizing the situation', Hesburgh said,: "I see happening a divided nation. I see
happening all kinds of civil disorder, hypocrasy because we say one thing and do
another, frustration because theovernment doesn't follow the law.".

RALEIGH -The chairman of the State
"Penal Study Commission announced

$3,000.to the commission to continue

juveniles.

mencaii sir me
CHICAGO-The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen Monday called a nationwide
rail strike for next Monday at 6 a.m., unless agreement is reached on the union's wage
and fringe benefits demands.
CJ. Chamberlain, president of the Signalmen, said the union has exhausted all
procedures under the Railway Labor Act and was legally free to call a strike after May
,14, 1971.
S Unless the union and the rail carriers reach an agreement before May 17, only
' Congress could prevent a strike that could shut down the nation's railroads. ' "
J The Union had previously voted to strike March 5, but did not when President
) Nixon appointed an emergency board to recommend a settlement in the 21 -month old
con tract dispute. "
"The recommendations of the Presidential Emergency Board appointed by the
President of ,lhe United States to hear the dispute are wholly inadequate and do not
meet the needs of the membership of the Signalmen's skilled craft union,"
Chamberlain said. "The last wage increase granted Signalmen was a 3 per cent raise on
July 1. 1969." ;

Mitchell calls protestors
organized 'lawbreakers '
SAN FRANCISCO-Attorney General
John N.. 'Mitchell Monday called last
week's violent antiwar demonstrations in
the nation's capital "an organized
attempt by thousands of lawbreakers to
deny other Americans their civil rights."
He said the demonstration was an utter
failure.
Mitchell said Washington police, in
making some 12,000 arrests without
firing a shot, "presented to the world a
picture of police fairness and
effectiveness."
He told the 51st conference of the
California Peace Officers Association he
hoped the Washington example would be
followed by other cities.
If so, he said, "we will see an end to
the' extremist practice of , running
roughshod over the rights of others "
Mitchell said President' Nixon fully
shared his sentiments. ?. ,--
"I am proud of the Washington city
police," he said. "I am proud that they
stopped a repressive mob from robbing
the rights of others."
. Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, in a
speech to the same peace officers
meeting, strongly defended the
best-known law enforcement officer in
Mitchell's Justice Department,,, FBI
iieaaeir cans
get s
committee and the recommendations
made thus far are progressing well on all
fronts."
He noted the General Assembly had
passed legislation aimed at eliminating the
highway quota system and that legislation
for consolidating the corrections,
probation and parole units into a single
department is now pending. ,. .
Gov. Bob Scott, in a written statement
issued by Strayhorn, said that the
consolidation of all correctional agencies
is "one of the most significant steps
North Carolina can take for prison reform
this year."

Reagan said current criticism implying
that Hoover is trying to turn thev FBI into
a secret police "make a mockery of the
facts."
Hoover's "whole career has been
devoted to resisting the efforts to turn
the FBI into a national police force,"
Reagan said.
Mitchell contrasted the violence in
Washington with the orderly
demonstration there April 24, when, he
said, an estimated 175,000 marched with
Virtually no destruction, little hostility
to police and relatively few arrests."

California congressman calls for Nixons impeachment
WASHINGTON-Rep. Ronald V. Dellums, D-Calif ., said Monday President NLxon
should be removed from office because of his Vietnam War policy and that he was
considering introducing impeachment, charges in the House.
Dellums, who became the first congressman to say publicly he would vote for
impeachment, said he expected to reach a decision "in the next week or so" on
whether to try to oust Nixon from the White House.
The black liberal, serving his ; first term in the House, condemned the
administration's Indochina policy as .he stood on the House steps and accepted 405
signatures of Harvard law students urging that Congress initiate impeachment
proceedings.
. Dellums said he would hesitate "not at all" to vote for impeachment, but that
introducing a resolution calling for -impeachment was a more serious matter that
deserved more consideration.
He noted that the A

Egyptian talks
encouraging
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph J. Sisco said Monday his talks,
with Egyptian leaders in Cairo were
"specific and useful" but cautioned a
breakthrough on an interim settlement
for reopening the Suez Canal was not .
imminent. Egypt and Israel voiced similar
sentiments. ;
'In our judgment, both sides Fare
interested in finding an answer to an
' interim settlement," Sisco said in London
enroute to Washington from Cairo where
he met for four hours Sunday with
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and
other top Egyptian leaders.
In Cairo, Sadat said Egypt's offer to
reopen the canal in return for a partial
Israeli withdrawal from the occupied
Sinai Peninsula still stands but added,
"Egypt is not ready, - however, to
relinquish one inch of its territory or to
bargain with the Palestinian's rights."
Israeli Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin,
- departing from Tel Aviv for his post in
Washington, , said the meeting between
Secretary of State William P. Rogers and
Israel's leadership last week "helped to
clarify the attitude" of Egypt and Israel.
But he added:
"I don't think there have been any
basic changes in the policies of the two
countries. It is too early to -discuss the
chances of an overall peace agreement
and too early to say anything aboutjhe
chances of a partial agreement being
reached." , ,
Reopening the Suez Canal shut by
Egypt during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war is
" . regarded by Washington as a possible first
step toward a permanent peace in the
Middle East.
' Egypt has insisted that its troops be
permitted to cross the canal before the
waterway is opened. Israel has refused

BONN Emergency currency action by
West European nations appeared Monday
to have eased the international money
crisis. The U.S. dollar steadied during the
day on some markets and the wholesale
selling of dollars by speculators ended for
the time being.
Devaluation in Austria dropped the
dollar to its lowest point since the end of
World War II and the "floating" of the
West German mark had the effect of
devaluating the dollar 3.75 per cent. But
the dollar was firm in London, Paris and
some other money centers.
Money speculators were reported
holding back in West Germany, betting
the mark would be worth more in the
next few days.
In Washington, the U.S. Treasury
Department said it felt the international
financial crisis was improving and "no
immediate action" was planned.
International banker Ezra Zilkha in New
York said the emergency period was over
although the "basic questions" remained
unsolved. And Nobel Prize-winning

World news in brief
but was reported during the Rogers talks
to have expressed a willingness to permit
an Egyptian "presence" on the occupied
east bank of the cana.
Rogers, who met with President Nixon
in Washington Monday to report on his
weeklong five-nation Middle east peace
seeking mission, had said there had been
"some narrowing of the gap" between
Egypt and Israel on the Suez issue.
1552's continue
bombing trails
SAIGON A new troop reductionthat
trimmed American forces in South .
Vietnam to 267,100 men the lowest
level in almost five years -was announced
Monday by the U.S. command.
On the war front, about 2,000 South
Vietnam troops were lifted by helicopter .
to the northeastern rim of the A Shau
Valley Sunday and Monday as part of a
task force sweeping jungle areas east of
the Laotian border.
An American paratrooper was killed
and four more wounded in the same area
when Communists attacked a
reconnaissance patrol. B52 bombers
continued attacking supply trails in the '
northwestern corner of South Vietnam.
The President's target for Dec. 1 ,
under his Phase VII program, tis 184,000
troops in Vietnam. The command is now
one-sixth toward meeting that figure and
has more than seven months to send
another 83,100 GI's home.
The command announced 920 men
have ordered to stand down status with
an element of the Americal Division, the
last complete U.S. division remaining in
Vietnam. But the division will remain the
largest in Vietnam, since it now numbers
some 24,000 men-about 8,000 above
normal division strength.

Cambridge, Mass.. said the measures
would restore "equilibrium" to European
markets and should not be considered
"an economic Pearl Harbor."
In West Germany, the crisis center, an
expected immediate outflow of dollars
failed to materialize on the first trading
day since exchanges were closed
Wednesday in Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium.
- The problem began last week as
traders and speculators flooded West
German banks with dollars considered
overvalued against the healthy and
prosperous mark. By purchasing marks
and holding them, the speculators could
clear a profit when trading them back to
receive more dollars than originally
invested if the dollar slipped in value.
. But throughout the capitals of Europe
Monday, trading was cautious. Observers
felt many speculators were hoping the
mark would rise to as much as 5 per cent
above the old parity of 3.66 to the dollar,
or perhaps an official revaluation would
be approved by the government.
To combat this and encourage an
debate over whether Nixon should be impeached.
Furthermore, Dellums said, "There are several congressmen who I think would be
interested in impeachment."
He conceded, however, "I'm not sure it could win."
Under the Constitution, impeachment charges must be made by the House and
tried before the Senate, which would sit as a jury with some member of the House
acting as a prosecutor.
The most recent effort at impeachment was made by some 120 House members
seeking to remove Justice William O. Douglas from the Supreme Court. In that case a
House Judiciary subcommittee, which must act on impeachment resolutions, rejected
the proposal on grounds that there first must be evidence the accused is guilty of "high
crimes and misdemeanors." . .
, Dellums, an ex-Marine and social worker whose district includes Berkeley, Calif.,
said he planned to talk to at least 20 House members before making up his mind about
an impeachment resolution. . . -

FBI to check
wiretapping
WASHINGTON As J. Edgar Hoover
began his 48th year as FBI director, the
Senate's best known criminal investigator
said Monday that he had ordered an
inquiry into federal and state wiretapping
to calm "public uneasiness" about it.
Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., said
he had directed the staff of his
subcommittee on criminal laws and

government decreed that dollar accounts
can draw Lnterest only with the approval
of the Central Bank. Certain stacks and
bonds also can be purchased only with
approval of the Central Bank.
The key to the solution W3S handed
West Germany after a weekend nee!:r.
of European Common Market in Brass!.
The market gave permission for its six
member nations to allow their currencies
to float free of the dollar for a time to
bridge the problem.
West Germany immediately set the
mark afloat and Monday it climbed about
3.75 per cent to 3.525 marcs for one U.S.
dollar from the official parity of 3.66.
But speculators felt the mark might
increase as much as 5 per cent and force
the government to backtrack on an earlier
promise and revalue the official rate.

International Bank in New York, an
international banking institution, said the
crisis situation was over due to the
emergency actions of the European

Nasa delays
Mariner launch
CAPE KENNEDY-The new
administrator of the space agency said
Monday the launch of a second Mariner
spacecraft toward Mars could be delayed
until the end of May if necessary to make
sure if would work.
Engineers aimed toward a May 18
launch, but Dr. James C. Fletcher said
that date was "uncertain" pending the
results of an intensive investigation now
underway into -Saturday's launch failure
of the first attempt to orbit Mars.
"I think we want to be sure that the
second launch is going to be all right, or
at least that we've done everything we
can do to be sure it is all right before it
goes," Fletcher said at a news conference
in Washington. He said her personally will
participate in the probe of the S77
million failure.
"Although May 18 is the designated
date, we do have until the end of the
month, approximately, and if necessary.
we will delay that long," he said in replv
to questions.
