Arab guerrillas to be tried CAIRO Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has pledged to put on trial five Arab guerrillas who carried out the Dec. 17 Rome airport massacre, the newspaper Al Akhbar said Sunday.- The newspaper quoted Arafat as saying the trial will be staged in secret by a Palestinian revolutionary court under a "special law" of the Palestinian resistance movement. He did not say where the trial will be held. The trial will be the first against Arab guerrillas who sought refuge in an Arab capital after a foreign operation. Possible mistrial in Mitchell, Starts NEW YORK Former Nixon Cabinet officers John N. Mitchell and Maurice H. Stans go back to federal court Monday to learn whether the judge in their alleged influence-peddling case will declare a mistrial before even a shred of evidence has been put to the jury. The decision will be made by U.S. District Court Judge Lee Gagliardi when court resumes at 10:30 a.m. Monday.

The House of Representatives Rules Committee is expected to decide on a bill to establish as national policy the gradual and voluntary introduction of the metric system now in use throughout most of the rest of the world. Under the bill, metric would be the predominant system of measurement, but the commonly used methods adopted mostly from Britain would still be in effect, said L.E.

The course of the present trial hinges on a remark made by the prosecution in its opening statement to the court Friday. It was the same day that Mitchell was indicted by the Watergate grand jury in Washington. Defense attorneys asked the judge to declare a mistrial when federal prosecutor James W. Rayhill told the jury that as they heard the evidence they should put themselves "in the place of the grand jurors ... citizens like yourselves," who Schiphol airport outside Amsterdam and then set it afire after allowing all passengers and crew members to flee. Police captured the hijackers, who were armed with guns and hand grenades, in a runway chase in which no shots were fired. The passengers and crew members slid down the emergency chutes of the blue, silver and white VC10 aircraft moments before smoke and flames began pouring out. Police said two persons injured their ankles hitting the ground. A British Airways spokesman said there were 92 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the four-engined jetliner on the regular-scheduled flight to London. There were conflicting reports on the number of hijackers. The passengers said two, but the police said they had captured four after chasing them across the runway when they tried to escape. The only gunfire through the entire ordeal, . according to the passengers and police, came when one of the Arabs fired a warning shot aboard the aircraft shortly XT Jobs. 1 1 gM m taj Go! da r."cir Syri Israel s engagement talks BONN U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger ended his fourth Middle East mission Sunday satisfied he had succeeded in getting Syria and Israel talking about military disengagement in the Golan Heights even though the outcome is in doubt. For Kissinger, the Israeli-Syrian talks on the separation of forces along the Golan Heights front was the. next step towards a Middle East settlement. Publicly and privately, Kissinger refused to speculate whether the progress during his five days of talks in five Middle East countries was enough to induce Arab states to lift their oil embargo against the United States. Although the impression in the area is that the end of the embargo will come soon, a high American official with the Kissinger party said it was obvious -the Secretary of State had talked about it with Arab leaders, including King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, but the problem was getting agreement among all the Arab states. Cairo reports said Egypt has called for a meeting of oil ministers next Sunday in Tripoli, Libya. The official said that the United States believes Middle East peace is a goal in itself and does not want to give the Arabs the idea that the oil weapon has worked. Furthermore, it has been embarrassed before with premature predictions it would be lifted. Kissinger arrived in the West German indicted Mitchell and Stans on the influence peddling charges last May. - The judge explained to the eight men and, four women jurors who had been carefully selected over the previous nine days that an indictment is only an accusation and the defendants are to be presumed innocent unless proven otherwise at their trial on 10 counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. If convicted on all charges, Mitchell and Stans could be jailed for 50 years each. Saying he was "gravely concerned over the acMn' after seizing control. No one was hurt. The gunmen took over the airliner shortly after it left Beirut, the plane's only stopover on a flight from Bombay to London. The airline spokesman said 25 persons boarded the craft at the Lebanese capital. The spokesman said the hijackers at first ordered the pilot to fly over Greece and then on to Amsterdam. Officials at Schiphol at first refused landing permission but changed their mind after the pilot informed the control tower that he had fuel for only 15 minutes more. Communications monitors at Zaventem airport outside Brussels said they had overheard the hijackers, in broken English, say they wanted to blow up the aircraft over the North Sea. But the fuel shortage prevented them from getting there. t Harkel, Fred and Bert can't wait to sashay in for Betty Lou's Zucchini Quiche and Homemade Bread w Green Salad for $1.30, 5:33-7:00 at the Dscchso. JERUSALEM Prime Minister Goiia Mcir announced Sunday nigSf she was giving up on her efforts to form a new government. The statement amounted to a resignation and created doubts about Israel's immediate ability to talk peace with the Arabs. Meir, 75. walked out of a Labor party meeting after telling its members that she encountered too much fractionalism and bitterness in trying to form a new government. Meir, prime minister since 1969, will retain power only so long as her caretaker government continues in office. Her party voted unanimously to ask her to change her mind. She told her party meeting in the Knesset b egin capital at 6:40 p.m. (1:40 p.m. EDT) after a five-hour flight from Amman, Jordan, the last of his Middle East stops. He talked with King Hussein early Sunday and announced the king would visit the United States on March 12. It was the first time Kissinger had been in Germany since becoming Secretary of State. He left as a Jewish refugee from Nazism as a boy of 1 5. In his talks here Sunday night with Foreign Minister Walter Scheel and Monday with Chancellor Willy Brandt, he will turn mainly to the questions concerning Europe and its relations with the United States. Kissinger got the negotiating process started between Israel and Syria by persuading them both to send high officials to Washington late this month to present concrete proposals for separating their forces, first the Israeli, then separately the Syrian. The high American official said they were still far apart and the chances of success can be predicted only after both present further plans. Kissinger changed his mind in mid mission about getting them face to face in some form to avoid premature confrontations. The high official said the talks will be much tougher than those which led to Israeli-Egyptian agreement along the Suez Canal. case apparent excesses' of the prosecution in its references to the grand jury, Gagliardi directed the, government to present to him a brief supporting its position and the defense to present written arguments in support of the mistrial motion. If a mistrial is declared, the jury would be excused, a date for a new trial would be set, and the defense would be expected to again ask that the trial be moved out of New York. The issue was the latest in a long list of problems that have delayed the trial three times since last September. Mitchell, 60, former attorney general, and Stans, 65, former commerce secretary, two architects of the President's election campaigns in 1968 and 1972, are accused of obstructing a major fraud investigation of international financier Robert L. Vesco. The indictment alleges they did this in exchange for Vesco's secret $200,000 cash contribution to the Nixon campaign. Rayhill portrayed the defendants as partners in crime who bargained their political influence to get the Vesco contribution and then lied to the grand jury to keep it secret. llwriM I III I fl HI I 1:2315:17 -.-". ifo 3:207:14 9:11 "jTOj parliament she would tell President Ephrain Kz-tzir she was not able to form a new government and therefore would return ths mandate that authorized her a month Ego to set up a government. That would amount to her resignation if she followed through. One reason for the current governmirt crisis is a split between Mcir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who was angered by Labor party criticism of his conduct of the October War and charges that he had left Israel unprepared for the Yom Kippur outbreak. . The split was deepened by Dayan's insistence that Meir bring the extreme rightwing Likud bloc into a new government. The Likud had criticized Dayan too, but he approved their diehard stand against returning any captured Arab territory. Meir rejected this demand on grounds it would be a "government of paralysis' unable to negotiate with the Arabs. As head of a caretaker government Meir. successfully negotiated the troop disengagement agreement with Egypt. Meir apparently made the sudden move Hughes wants study WASHINGTON Sen. Harold Hughes, D-Iowa.. blocked promotions of two senior aides of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last week hoping to force the Senate Arms Services Committee into a full scale investigation of military spying on the White House, his staff said Sunday. Navy Capt. Arthur Knoizen was to be promoted to rear admiral and Air Force Col. Bennie Davis was to be elevated to general. They were among six promotions Hughes temporarily has blocked or has vowed to oppose. Navy stenographer Charles Radford has testified that both Knoizen and Davis knew that he had purloined White House policy papers and passed them to Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The four other officers whose promotions were blocked were involved in secret bombings in Southeast Asia or other activities. But aides said that while Hughes opposes promoting men involved in the secret bombings, the Pentagon has now turned over its records on those incidents, removing any reason to formally block the nominations. Hughes, a liberal, has been pressing for open hearings on the spying affair over stiff opposition from committee conservatives.' He wants an airing of allegations the military sought the information so it could try to affect decisions on Vietnam and nenewed relations with China. The military denies this. Hughes feels both the spying and secret bombing episodes raise questions about civilian control of the military. LATE SHOW Frl. & Sat. 11:15 m La Lzj It STI E MOST .!0V IIG.

The move created doubts about the next negotiating step. Israeli and Syrian diplomats are to go to Washington this month for indirect negotiations through Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger on a disengagement agreement for the Golan Heights. How this could be done now was not immediately clear. Hearst makes appeal for break of silence SAN FRANCISCO The parents of kidnaped Patricia Hearst, in a dramatic television pica, asked her terrorist abductors Sunday to break 10 days of silence by allowing her to send a note or tape saying she is "okay." In a television and radio plea, Randolph A. Hearst told the Symbionese Liberation Army that his 20-year-old daughter had the right to correspond with her family if she was being held as a prisoner of war. "I'm sure she's all right." Hearst said in his first appearance in more than a week before the reporters and TV cameras outside his suburban Hillsborough home. His wife, Catherine, told their daughter to "keep up your courage." "You've never harmed anybody and I know that pretty soon God will touch their hearts and they'll send you home again," she said. Hearst said he believed the SLA was a "political movement" and that Patricia was being held under the POW rules of the Geneva Convention. The University of California coed was kidnaped from her Berkeley apartment Feb. 4 by the tiny terrorist sect, which had demanded a $6 million food giveaway as a preliminary ransom. The family has put up $2 million and pledged to provide the rest following her release. "We might ask that people that are holding you if you could be allowed to send us a letter or get in touch with us by tape," said Hearst, son of the late publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. r ? tlHYJ Dl AVinr puaiiia rrv. . 2:45 7:05 iUti l 55 9:15 N.Y.
