UN violating ceasefire ?
Middle East pact hits snags
By United Press International
Israel accused U.N. peace
keeping forces of violating the
one-day Middle East cease-fire
agreement Monday by setting up
a roadblock on the Cairo-Suez
highway. Israeli troops tore down
the barricade and reopened the
road.
In another cease-fire dispute 20
miles away, Egypt said attempts
to implement the cease-fire at
kilometer 101 had “reached a
crisis.” An Egyptian government
source charged Israeli troops
refused to pull back from their
checkpoint at the 101 kilometer
marker as called for by Sunday’s
agreement.
The Egyptian semi-official
newspaper A1 Ahram said in its
Tuesday editions that Egypt
might refer the matter to the
U.N. Secretary General.
“Attempts at implementing the
agreement have reached a crisis
stage,” the newspaper said. A1
Ahram also reported agreement
had been reached on holding an
Arab summit meeting in Algiers
probably Nov. 28.
A withdrawal from the 101
checkpoint where the peace
accord was signed Sunday would
have signaled the first practical
step toward implementing the
agreement — hailed as the first
stage toward direct peace talks
between Israel and Egypt in 25
years.
The dramatic but brief
squabble between Israeli troops
and U.N. Blue Berets along the
Cairo-Suez highway occurred at
the western approach to Suez
city, on the west bank of the Suez
Canal about 20 miles from the
kilometer 101 marker.

A spokesman for the Israeli
military command said the U.N.
roadblock isolated Israeli troops
posted farther west along the
highway, where Israelis them
selves block the road, cutting off
the city of Suez and trapping the
Egyptian 3rd Army on the east
bank of the Canal.
Egyptian sources said the
Israelis under the cease-fire
agreement were to withdraw
from their checkpoint at the 101
kilometer point, but had refused.
The Israeli National Radio,
however, said Israeli forces had
withdrawn, but this was not
confirmed by the Israeli military
command or at the headquarters
of the U.N. truce team in Cairo.
Newsweek correspondent
Arnaud de Borchgrave, who
spent the day at the 101 marker,
said Israeli troops controlled the
position, despite the presence of a
U.N. checkpoint there.
He said the Israelis stopped a
Red Cross convoy bound for Suez
City and allowed only 500 pints of
blood and 40,000 syringes
through. Water and food were not
permitted to pass. A Red Cross
spokesman said the incident
occurred at 5 p.m. (10 a.m. EST).
At kilometer 101 Sunday,
Israeli and Egyptian officials
signed the U.S. sponsored peace
accord drawn up by Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger.
The Israeli military command
said its troops asked the U.N.
forces to remove the roadblock
and open the highway to traffic.
When the U.N. troops refused, the
Israelis dismantled the
barricade. There were no reports
of force being used.
“Israeli Defense Force soldiers
stationed in the area requested
U.N. soldiers to remove the
barrier and reopen the road to j
traffic,” the Israeli spokesman
said. “After these requests went
unheeded, the roadblock was
dismantled by IDF soldiers.”
UPI Roundup
| Solons unchanged about impeachment
WASHINGTON — Congressmen who introduced im
peachment resolutions three weeks ago say President Nixon
has done nothing since then to change their minds. Most of
these 11 representatives told UPI they are more convinced
than ever that Nixon should be impeached. They are skep
| tical of his claim that two of the Watergate tapes do not exist
£ and they say Nixon is unable to lead the nation.
(Judge, President agree on deadline
WASHINGTON — President Nixon agreed Monday to
turn over subpoenaed secret Watergate tapes to the courts by
Nov. 20 and to let technical experts examine them to make
•i; sure the evidence has not been altered. The' White House
said, however, another piece of evidence he agreed to give
the court does not exist. Chief U.S. District Judge John Sirica
announced the schedule for turning over the material after
both White House lawyers and Watergate prosecutors agreed
£ on it. Sirica said that tapes together with analyses would be
:j: delivered no later than Nov. 20; that duplicates would be
made by Wednesday and the originals put under seal for
£ further future delivery to the court, and there would be a
£ private conference Nov. 30 to examine any White House
£ claims that portions of the materials should be kept secret in
£ the national interest.
Kissinger, Mao hold tete-a-tete
PEKING — Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was
summoned unexpectedly to a lengthy meeting with Chair
man Mao Tse-tung Monday, contributing to speculation that
Sino-American relations will be broadened in the future.
Kissinger sent a wire to President Nixon following the nearly
two-hour, 45-minute meeting at Mao’s residence on the edge
of the Forbidden City. Details of the conversation were not
disclosed.
Prosecutor snubs ‘national security9
WASHINGTON — Leon Jaworski, in his first major legal
argument since taking office as Watergate prosecutor, said
Monday that “not even the highest office in the land” has the
authority to break the law in the name of national security.
“In the recent past, national security has become a kind of
talisman, invoked by officials at widely disparate levels of
government service to justify a wide range of apparently
illegal activities,” Jaworski said. His views were contained
in a lengthy brief filed at U.S. District Court opposing a
motion by Egil Krogh, Jr. for dismissal of a two-count in
dictment on charges of lying to the Watergate grand jury.

WASHINGTON (UPI) —
President Nixon began an all-out
campaign Monday to prove his
honesty and bolster his
credibility. The first dividend
was a statement from top

promise to disclose all the facts
about the Watergate scandal.
Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler
said Nixon intended to answer
“fully and publicly” all the
charges against him concerning
the break-in at Democratic
headquarters, the cover-up that
followed and all other areas of
alleged wrong-doing.
Nixon’s plan to go to the
country in public statements,
news conferences, speeches and
meetings with congressmen was
kicked off during the weekend
when he called Republican
congressional leaders to the
White House to outline his plans.
Monday, he did the same with the
new Republican Coordinating
Committee, a group of about 20
top GOP elected officials and
party leaders assembled by
national chairman George Bush.
The Committee adopted a brief
resolution, which Bush said was
approved by all members
present. It said, “We favor full
disclosure of all facts arising
from the so-called Watergate
affair. We welcome the
statement by the President to us
that this will be done...”
But the committee resolution
fell short of a ringing en
dorsement of the President, and
some members complained
about a “monologue” by Nixon.
Bush conceded there was no
exchange between committee
members and Nixon during his
presentation, but said “people
had an opportunity to visit with
the President and have ex
changes of views beforehand.”
The President also called in
seven Democratic senators
Monday evening for a discussion
of the Watergate affair. Invited to
the meeting were Sens. James
Eastland and John Stennis,
Miss., Russell Long, La., John
McClellan, Ark., John Sparkman
and James Allen of Ala., and
Harry Byrd, Va.
