Dr. John I. Edland, Monroe County medical examiner, said he doubted "th wounds were made by zip guns," the only firearms which, prison officials said, the rebel convx k had . Attica Blacks say conditions cause riot WASHINGTON - Three black House members said Tuesday the uprising at Attica prison in New York grew out of dehumanizing conditions which they said existed m prisons throughout the-country. Reps Shirley Chisho'm and "harles B. Range!, both D-N .. and Ronald . De.uss. D-Calif., said in a joint statement the need for prison reform "has been dramatically brought to our attention." Noting thev each had been involved in previous situations where hostages were held in prisons in New York City and at San Quentin in California, the three said there could be "no explanation or justification" given for taking of lives. "WhTi a system of penal institutions is created dehumanizes people to such an extent that hfe has no value within the prison, then surely this should shake the conscience of this nation to move towards the eradication of treatment that continues to perpetuate man's inhumanity to man."

Some were shot five, 10 or 12 times. Some 1 .TOO state troopers. National Oswald says he would storm prison again NEW YORK - State Correction Commissioner Russell G. Oswald said Monday he waV agonized over the decision to storm the Attica prison, but if it was necessary to do again, he would do it. "If I had the choice, I would undoubtedly have to do the same thing again - regrettably," Oswald said. "It was a decision agonizingly made and now I have to live with it." Police Monday stormed the prison which had been held by more than 1,000 prisoners since Thursday. At least 40 persons were killed and 29 hostages were released. Oswald said he did everything in his power to reach a peaceful settlement at the prison, but realized it was to no avail when convicts paraded eight hostages into view with knives at their throats. Oswald, in a statement released by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's office, said the decision to send in the troops was made "with extreme reluctance only after all peaceful solutions failed. 'To delay the action any longer would not only jeopardize innocent lives but would threaten the security of the entire correctional system in this state. "Armed rebellion of this type we have faced threatened the destruction of of our free society. We cannot permit that destruction to happen.

That same day. State Conectr Commissioner Russell G. Oswald iiid eight hostages died "when their thr-.-ats were slit." Newsmen asked Edland if any of -.he wounds on the hostages could have bren inflicted by homemade zip guns. "N rse that I could find," he said. Acknowledging he was not "totally familiar" with weapons. Edland said all fragments of bullets and buckshot were turned over to state police for identification and analysis. Edland disclosed he received a telephone call Tuesday afternoon :'r m Gov. Nelson A. Rockefellers office, b ut declined to give details of what 2s discussed. The medical examiner's disclosures were in direct conflict with state correction officials who said they had witnesses who claimed they saw convicts slash throats of ths hostages. Edland identified the fragments as "buckshot and a large calibre missile." "The hostages wore prison garb," Edland said. 'The hands were bound and some appeared to have been beaten about the face." Monday, Oswald stood on a ramp where some of the hostages died and put his hand to his throat and drew it across, showing the path a knife would take. A ninth hostage died, Oswald said, when he was castrated and a tenth died of injuries after he was thrown out a window when the rioting broke out Thursday. Nixon rejects to direct talks WASHINGTON - The White House has rejected an attempt by South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky to establish a private, direct channel to President Nixon through his foreign policy adviser, Henry Kissinger. Officials disclosed this Tuesday and said no reply of any kind was made to Ky to impress him the United States did not want to bypass the regular governmental channels of communication with Saigon. According to the story U.S. officials tell, Dang Due Khoi, who has served as Ky's agent for years, arrived at the White Officer ay Medina not at My FT. McPHERSON, Ga. - An army officer testified Tuesday that Lt. William L. Calley Jr. told him Capt. Ernest L. Medina was surprised to learn of the killing of villagers at My Lai. Capt. Robert L. Hicks testified - with the jury in Medina's murder court-martial absent - Calley "mentioned My Lai" in a conversation in 1968. Hicks said Calley, the only soldier so far convicted in the My Lai massacre, told him he led a platoon into the South Vietnamese village and "the people all VETERANS CONVERT YOUR SERVICEMEN'S LIFE INSURANCE ACT NOW YOUR 120 DAYS MAY BE UP SOON.

Farm leaders appeal for end of surcharge WASHINGTON - Ear: I .A appealed to President Nixon Tuesday lo an early end to the import surcharge, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader urged Congress to junk Nixon's tax proposals tn favor of a $50 refund for each taxpayer. Representatives of the live largest lS. farmer organizations expressed concern over possible foreign retaliation against American food exports in a minute meeting with the President at the "shite House. Nixon told his visitors, the latest in a series of groups he is consulting about plans for the period after the wage-price freeze expires Nov. 13. the 10 percent surcharge on imports was or.lv temporary and was designed for the long-term benifit of the firmer. Nader told the House Ways and Means Committee the Presidents program would "make- 1971 the year of the greatest business tax cut in our history " featuring a 10 per cent investment tax credit. Nixon's provision for $2.2 billion tn individual tax cuts, he said, would benefit those in higher income brackets than small wage earners and "are a poor mask for the administration's attempt to permanently cut corporate taxes by 20 percent." request with Ky House last week to deliver a message to Kissinger. The message explained Ky's reasons for withdrawing from the Vietnamese presidential election Oct. 3 and urged the United States to keep close watch on developments in Saigon and the rest of the country during the campaign and the voting. Ky asserted he pulled out of the contest with incumbent Nguyen Van Thieu because he felt the race was rigged in Thieu's favor. J came out and started to cheer." Calley told him the cheers subsided, he said, when the American troops opened fire. Hicks said Calley related the experience "like a war story - like he was bragging, so to speak." Calley told him Medina was with another platoon and was not in My Lai during the assault, Hicks said, and when the captain learned of the killings "he was certainly surprised."

The source m Tel Aviv was responding to repor's from Jerusalem that Foreign Minister Abba Eban had submitted to the Israeli cabinet a new plan for a Middle East settlemen that would be presented at the United Nations General Assembly session, opening later this month in New York. The source said Israel would not present any new proposals and Eban will merely outline to the assembly Israel's previously stated position and plan for a Middle East settlement. "What new options could we possibly produce?" he asked. "We have, in our view, produced everything that it is possible to produce. We have put forward our proposals, including a partial withdrawal from the Suez Canal. This is to us a major concession. "Surely, it is up to the Egyptians now to reply to what we have put forward. The ball, as far as we are concerned, is right back in their court," he said. In Cairo, the semi-official Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram also commented Tuesday on the reports of a possible new Israeli peace plan and said the Arab nations would reject it. testified with the jury absent after the prosecution objected his statements were hearsay.
