THE DAILY TAR HEEL October 6, 1970 TTo T7 71 to mm m fey Page Six rm XL ;i3 i Plains WASHINGTON-President Nixon flew home Monday from a 12,000-mile European trip that ended with a sentimental visit to Ireland where he pledged at his ancestors grave to work for the first "full generation of peace" in this century. The President and Mrs. Nixon arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. U. S. officials and foreign diplomats welcomed them home from their journey to Italy, the Vatican, the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, Yugoslavia, Spain, Britain and Ireland. Nixon planned an early report to Up 300 Percent Wiretaps WASHINGTON -Federal wiretaps during the first half of this year were up more than 300 per cent over all of 1969, Attorney General John N. Mitchell reported Monday. Mitchell defended the sharply increased use of electronic surveillance, calling it "a particularly effective weapon" in the government's law enforcement arsenal. "The only repression that has resulted is the repression of crime," he said. Mitchell, in a speech for the annual Manso n Attacks Judge LOS ANGELES -Charles Manson leaped head-first over the council table trying to get at the judge at the Tate murder trial today after telling the magistrate he intended to kill him. The tiny 35-year-old defendant went hurtling on the floor in front of the judge's bench and had to be subdued by , three deputies who led him from the courtroom with his arms twisted behind his back.

Older, an original member of the Flying Tigers before World War II, calmly noted that the defendant had jumped in the direction of the bench and ordered that the record so reflect that fact. The three girl codefendants began chanting some phrase about "killing" and when they refused to subside they too were taken from the courtroom. i. ; - peeclh To Nation congressional leaders on the tnp, which emphasized the U.

Ireland was the sentimental finale to the President's trip, and it gave him an exhilirating welcome marred by two egg-throwing incidents. Friendly, cheering crowds of adults and school children followed him across the green countryside of Ireland through most of his final day abroad. Nixon responded with enthusiasm, even riding in lecreasie meeting of the International Association of Police Chiefs in Atlantic City, N. J., said federal agents installed 30 court-authorized wiretaps in 1969 and 103 more through July 13 of this year-most of them to get evidence for . gambling, narcotics and extortion cases. In an effort to show that the wiretaps installed under authority granted by the 1968 Crime Control Act were not ordered as "fishing expeditions," Mitchell said they had produced evidence so far for 419 arrests and 325 indictments. "Arrests resulted in all but 1 2 of these wiretaps," he added. In addition, Mitchell said, police in states where wiretapping is permitted had installed 241 taps last year but that records for 1970 were not yet available. "I hardly think the 271 federal and state wire taps occurring last year in the United States constitute an abuse of the privilege," he told police chiefs in a reference to claims by civil libertarians that the eavesdropping is an invasion of privacy. But the attorney general said his department also was vigorously enforcing a section of the 1968 act prohibiting wiretapping by private parties. - Diplomat liicraapped . .

But the tightest security Ireland rus seen failed twice to prevent antiwzr protesters slipping through police lines to hurl eggs at his limousine after he arrived in Dublin for talks with President Lam on de Valera and Prime Minister Jack Lynch. Three eggs splattered the car on the streets of Dublin and later, en route to the airport, two eggs and other unidentified objects were thrown. The eggs missed but the other objects struck the side of the car, which sped away. Nixon's route to Dublin airport was sealed off, and helicopters manned by security forces flew overhead. But unidentified persons managed to get close . enough to hurl eggs and other unidentified objects. Nixon did not seem to be aware of the objects hitting the side of the car. The President spoke of his hopes for a world at peace at the village of Timahoe, where his great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Thomas Milhous, was buried two centuries ago. The actual grave, and those of other persons buried in the County Kildare Quaker cemetery, have been lost. But Nixon dedicated a memorial to the dead, and, noting that his mother was a Quaker pacifist, said his goal was to give the world something it has not yet had in this century "a full generation of peace." "The greatest contribution I could make in office would be to bring peace to the world," he said. "There is nothing I want, nothing that the American people want, more. ..than to exercise our responsibilities in a way that will bring peace to the world -bring it not just for the next election, not just for the next 10 years. ..what we want to do is to build a real peace," he said to loud applause. He met Sunday with his chief Vietnam negotiators to lay the groundwork for a new Vietnam peace initiative, giving rise to speculation his speech will disclose what further steps he plans at the Paris peace talks or will announce accelerated troop withdrawals from Vietnam.

Senate Kills Action On Direct Elections WASHINGTON - The.Senate Monday gave up consideration of a Constitutional amendment for direct election ol the President, its chief sponsor conceded he lacked the votes to break a Southern-led tiiibmter. "We're just not going to be 3ble to shut off this filibuster," said Sen. Birch Bayh. D-Ind. He consulted with Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield who then won the Senate's consent to call off Tuesday's third scheduled vote on whether to choke off debate through the parliamentary device of cloture. Senators from southern and small states opposed the amendment, which had passed the House 339 to 70, out of fear their states would wield less influence in presidential elections if candidates chiefly sought the support of populous states. The Senate has been considering the amendment since Sept. 7. Mansfield said the third vote on limiting debate would not be held before Nov. 1 6 if the Senate, failing to finish its work before the election, holds a post-election session. Without such a session, no further action was scheduled on the amendment. Bayh told reporters too many senators were absent many of them campaigning for re-election to win the two-thirds vote needed to cut off debate. Sen. Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn., another backer, said he did not want a third vote on cloture. "It was not part of our strategy," Baker said. Bayh tried to win Southern support for a compromise amendment but he had to abandon that effort too, late in the day. "The general feeling is that at this late date there is not sufficient time to consider sometlung totally new," he said. .Attejiiptsio invoke cloture failed by five votes last week when 13 senators were absent. It failed by six votes the previous week. (UDM3 1 Baker and Bayh preferred that the amendment be side-tracked to the Senate calendar, form which it could be revived in a post-election session. A third cloture defeat, they feared, might kill it forever. They proposed, instead, a compromise to the Southern bloc that abandoned the direct popular vote principle, but retained safeguards against a candidate who received fewer votes than his opponent becoming President, which can happen under the current Electoral College system. Under the direct election amendment, approved 339 to 70 by the House, the Electoral College would be abolished. The people would vote directly for President, with every man's vote carrying the same weight. If no candidate got at least 40 per cent of the popular vote, a runoff between the top two would decide the winner. raei says Killed POW Pilot TEL AVIV Israel accused Egypt Monday of torturing and murdering a captured Israeli pilot and filed its 22nd complaint of alleged Egyptian cease-fire violations along the Suez Canal. A communique from military headquarters said the latest truce abrogation was noted Sunday when the Egyptians were seen building more antiaircraft missile emplacements within 19 miles of the Suez Canal. The complaint was sent to the United Nations. ( r. j r : v.;.' .I .! V -: The government at the same time released the text of a protext lodged i& MM MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Egyptians No mini Me President CAIRO-The Executive Committee of the Arab Socialist Union nominated Egypt's acting president. Anwar Sadat. Monday night to succeed President Carnal Abdel Nasser, who died a week ago of a heart attack. The semi-official Middle East News Agency MENA said the nomination by the eight-man committee was unanimous. Sadat, 52, who is a member of the committee, was Nasser's Vice President. The 1 50-member Central Committee of the Arab Socialist Union, Egypt's only political party, was expected to accept the executives' recommendation and pass it on to Parliament for approval. The Executive Committee's announcement of Sadat's nomination suggested that Parliament be summoned to a special session Wednesday to approve the nomination and submit it to a national referendum Oct. 15. The election of Sadat was expected to be little more than a formality following the announcement of his nomination. Only two others, former Prime Ministers Aly Sabry and Zakaria Moheiddin, had been considered as potential candidates. Prior to the announcement of Sadat's nomination, the Egyptian government made it clear that Nasser's successor would continue the policies of the man who had led Egypt for 18 years and it stressed that Nasser's successor would seek a Middle East peace settlement with Israel.
