Israeli party replaces Rabin
TEL AVIV, Israel — Shimon Peres on Sunday won the ruling
Labor party’s nomination to lead his party in the May 17 elections
and said he would make “no substantial change” in Israel’s
foreign policy.
The party’s 815-member central committee formally nomi
nated Peres to replace Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as party
standard bearer.
Rabin, who announced Thursday he would resign because
of a financial scandal, remains nominal prime minister.
Yemen official shot in London
LONDON—A gunman killed a former Yemeni prime minis
ter, his wife and chauffeur near Hyde Park Sunday, firing a pistol
through the windshield and door of their parked car.
The victims were identified as Al Qadi Abdullah Ali Al-Hajri,
65-year-old deputy chief of the North Yemen Supreme Court, his
wife Fatimah, 40, and driver Abdullah Ali Al Hammami.
“We have no motive but we are treating it as a killing where a
politician is involved,” police said.
Steel wage hike as ‘expected’
WASHINGTON—The steel industry’s new wage settlement
appears in line with government expectations and is unlikely to be
criticized as inflationary by the Carter administration, a govern
ment economist said Sunday.
“It appears to have come in at about what we expected,” the
economist said. “There doesn’t seem to be anything shocking or
unusual about it."
However, the Council on Wage and Price Stability said it will
review the pact.
US ‘draws line’ on trawlers
BOSTON—The first Russian fishing boat seized for violating
the 200-mile fishing laws was being escorted to Boston on Sun
day and Pres. Carter said the United States “had to draw the line
somewhere.”
The Coast Guard had been issuing warnings of violations
si nee the new rules and 200-mile limit went into effect last month.
Carter said, “We’ve released several of them, but we just had
to draw the line somewhere.”

No women on FBI list
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mem
bers of the committee looking for a
new FBI director say they are
open-minded about recommend
ing a woman for the job, but there
are no women on a preliminary list
of 41 candidates.
Committee members also say
they are willing to consider pres
ent or former FBI officials. And
some members say politicians
should not be excluded simply be
cause they have held elective of
fice or campaigned for a political
party.
The nine-member search
committee appointed by Pres.
Jimmy Carter has scheduled its
second meeting April 26 to dis
cuss the kind of person qualified to
take over the bureau after Clar
ence Kelley retires as director at
the end of the year.
“There’s no reason why women
can't be considered,” said com
mittee chairer Irving Shapiro. “So
far as I’m concerned, sex is a mat
ter of indifference.”
But a reliable source said no
woman made the list of 41 candi
dates circulated to committee
members by Mary Lawton, a de
puty assistant attorney general in
the Justice Department who is in
charge of staff research for the
committee.
The names were the first batch
to come from 460 individuals and
organizations asked to recom
mend candidates. The nomina
tions were solicited from gover
nors, judges, state attorneys gen
eral, federal prosecutors, and law
school deans.
France sends planes to Zaire
KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) —
France announced Sunday it had
sent 11 transport planes equipped
with French crews to help Zaire in
its attempt to repel invaders in the
mineral-rich province of Shaba.
The announcement of French
help was made by Pres. Valery
Giscard d’Estaings’s office in
Paris. French officials said the
planes would carry supplies for
1,500 Moroccan troops but “no
troops whatsover.”
Western diplomatic sources in
Kinsasha confirmed Moroccan
troops had arrived in the south
eastern province, invaded March
8 by exile forces who crossed over
Zaire’s border with Angola.
Pres. Mobutu Sese Seko
charged the invaders, who seek
independence for the province
formerly known as Katanga, had
been helped “by complicities at
the highest levels of the Zaire
army” and said one high-ranking
officer had been arrested.
Mobutu has claimed the invad
ers were sheltered in Angola, car
ried Soviet arms and were ac
companied by Cubans stationed
in Angola where they helped a
Marxist guerrilla group defeat
Western-backed groups.
French officials said they were
supplying both planes and crews
for “an exclusively African opera
tion.” They said the crews were
taking orders from Morocco and
Zaire and the planes were carry
ing “exclusively African materiel
and no troops whatsoever.”
The French government state
ment said Zaire and Morocco had
asked for the help and said Zaire
was the “victim of armed subver
sive activities on its territory”
which had come from abroad.
The United States has sent
military and medical supplies to
Zaire, but contends it shipped no
weapons. Belgium, which once
ruled Zaire as its Belgian Congo
colony, sent planeloads of light
weapons which it said had been
arranged before the invasion.
One Zaire news agency
spokesman had been quoted as
saying the Chinese were speed
ing 30 tons of emergency supplies
to Kinshasa. Belgian officials in
r
Kinshasa denied a report by the
invaders that Belgium was send
ing a battalion of troops to aid
Zaire.
In an interview with Newsweek
magazine, Mobutu said he was
“bitterly disappointed” because
the United States had not sent
arms and ammunition.
“If you (America) have decided
to surrender pjecemeal to the
Soviet-Cuban grand design in Af
rica, I think you owe it to us and to
your friends to have the frankness
to admit it,” he wasquoted as say
ing.
U.S. rejects Libyan signals
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan
leader Moammar Khadafy is send
ing signals to Washington that
Libya wants improved relations
with the United States.
But the United States has
reacted cooly, claiming Libya
supports international terrorism
and Palestinian “rejectionists”
who seek Israel’s extinction.
Since the start of the year,
Khadafy has sent two messages
to Pres. Jimmy Carter, offering “to
foster relations of cooperation”
with the new administration.
Simultaneously, Libya has
launched a low-key, people-to
people approach. It has offered to
participate in an Islamic studies
center at Washington's
Georgetown University and has
invited members of Indiana Uni
versity to discuss the growing
number of Libyan students in the
United States.
Most of the official initiatives
have been politely rebuffed.
Khadafy, a devout Moslem who
has made the Koran one of the
touchstones of his 1969 revolutio
nary coup, alluded in his mes
sages to Carter’s “call for the ob
servance of spiritual values.”
According to officials in Tripoli,
Khadafy hopes the two deeply re
ligious leaders could patch up the
differences between the two na
tions. But Carter’s reply did not go
beyond a formal acknowledge
ment of the messages.
The 13-man U.S. mission in
Tripoli has been headed by a
charge d’affaires for five years
si nee the departure of the last U.S.
ambassador and the closing of
Wheelus U.S. Air Force Base. The
dates when U.S. and British
troops left in 1970 are celebrated

American oil companies were
later nationalized but retained
service contracts. More than
2,000 Americans help pump
Libya's lucrative oil wells, sending
about 30 per cent of its production
to the United States.
“It is first-rate crude and has
been in great demand due to the
extremely harsh winter in the Un

“We could use more if available.”
