The sanctions would have' been invoked beginning tomorrow as a result of Peru's expropriation six months ago of oil properties be- longing to the International Petroleum Co. (IPC), a subsidiary of Stanadrd Oil. Under federal law, Washington may cut off aid to Peru six months after the expropriation if Lima has not offered appropriate compensation.; Peru, in turn, has assessed a huge debt against the oil company, which they claim balances any compensation still owed to the firm. However, Rogers indicated that the Peruvian government has said IPC would be given an opportunity to contest the debt. He said the decision on economic sanctions would be held in abeyance pending the outcome of the litigation. U.S.-Peruvian relations have been further strained by repeated Peruvian seizures of U.S. fishing vessels. However, U.S. policy-makersf fear that invoking economic sanctions against Peru might have adverse effects throughout all of Latin America. KING HUSSEIN OF JORDAN has forecasted another major confrontation in the Middle East if a solution to the conflict is not found soon. In a short speech following his arrival at Kennedy Airport, in New York, Hussein also warned of the "possibility of outside involve- ment and entanglement" if such a confrontation materializes. However, he voiced hope that the Big Four powers are successful in their search for peace in the Middle East. The Big Four-the United States, France, the Soviet Union and Secretary Great Britain-recently began meeting in an effort to work out a --- peaceful settlement. However the Israeli government has stated it will not accept a settlement that is imposed upon the Middle East by lITS IA 5: 0 t possible WASHINGTON ()- - Secretary of State William Rogers voiced hope yesterday for mutual U,.S.-North Vietnamese troop withdrawal this year. However, Rogers ruled out a one-sided American pullout at the present time. "We do have a plan which we think is a fair and reason- able one for ending this conflict," Rogers added. But he again avoided naming any peace date, saying "there isn't any magic formula" for ending the war. Speaking at his first formal Washington news conference, Rogers also said the United States is preparing to start mis- sile talks with the Soviet Union in late spring or early sum- mer.

In a related development, Israel's two most influential leaders have urged that the nation remain in the Arab areas occupied during the June 1967 war. Deputy Premier Yigal Allon said Sunday that settlements should: be established in the occupied areas to secure the borders. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan was even more specific in his recommendation,' saying "we should create a new map for Israel." JAMES EARL RAY yesterday filed a motion for a new trial. The motion alleges that Ray was pressured into pleading guilty to the charge that he shot Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. After a per- functory trial last month Ray was sentenced to 99 years in prison.a Should Ray decide to enter a plea other than guilty, he will be granted a jury trial. Under the guilty plea, the state was only required to present evidence that a crime was committed. * * * THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WEL- 4 FARE has set as its top priority a reduction in the welfare rolls.: According to Mary Switzer, the department's chief welfare ad- ministrator, the states have been asked to submit by mid-April plans7 for the job training of people presently living on welfare. However,l the government will still need at least $1.5 billion more each year to meet demands for welfare and medicaid programs, Miss Switzer added. She also hinted that the administration was preparing a proposal for a national floor to standardize welfare payments from state to state. THE NIGERIAN ARMY has claimed its troops are almostt within artillery range of the capital of Biafra. The claim was based on a report that federal troops had overrun Uzuakoli, a town eight miles north of Umuahia, the capital. However, the Biafrans said yesterday their troops had recaptured Uzuakoli and were continuing to gain more territory from the Ni- gerians. THE TRIAL OF SIRHAN BISHARA SIRHAN is nearing its end.c The state yesterday called its last witness, a psychologist who reportedly tried to show Sirhan's alleged assassination of Sen. Robert{ F. Kennedy was a deliberate deed. Although the defense has acknowledged that Sirhan actually shot Kennedy, they attempted earlier in the trial to show that thei murder was the act of a demented mind. It is expected that the trial will go to jury some time this week.t THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS yesterday attempted to halt3 a wildcat strike at a Chrysler plant near Detroit. The UAW's international board assumed control of the rebellious1 union local that had called the strike. Douglas Fraser, a UAW. vice-president and director of the union's Chrysler department called the strike "unconstitutional and illegal," adding that the walkoutt was saving Chrysler money and hurting the workers. However, many strikers have vowed they would fight any attempt to end the strike, which began last Wednesday following a disputei over working conditions. TUESDAY, APRIL 8 The first in a series of retrospective showings of collected works of.major j American Independent Filmmakers. IN PERSON ROBERT NELSON U.3. stops am toU segregated schools {T IL- WASHINGTON u - The fed- eral government announced yes- terday the cutoff of funds f or three school districts accused of racial discrimination.j Two of the districts are inI Georgia, and one is in Mississippi. Funds were also cut off from three Mississippi hospitals charg- ed with discrimination. The Department of Health Edu- cation and Welfare said the Mis- sissippi hospitals whose funds were cut off are: Kuhn Memorial Hospital, Vicksburg; Matty Hersee Hospital, Meridian; and Natchez Charitz Hospital in Natchez. All are administered by the board of trustees of the state Eleemosynary Institutions of Mississippi, Leon E. Pannetta, director of the Office for Civil Rights, said Secretary Robert H. Finch has , approved the termination for fail- ure to comply with the non-dis- crimination provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Reports of the action were sent to the appropriate Senate and House committee Monday. The terminations become effective 30 days after notification of t h e committee. Panetta said Finch approved the orders after extensive efforts to secure compliance through nego- tiations had failed. He said efforts will continue to provide whatever help the school districts and hos- pitals may need to comply with the law. I In a summary of compliance ac- tivities as of March 27. of this year, Panetta said the southern school picture looked as follows: - Of 4,529 school districts in 17 southern and border states. 3,004 are nondiscriminatory. - Of the 1,525 remaining dis- tricts, 360 are desegregating un- I der federal court order and 650 are successfully desegregating un- der a voluntary plan. The remain- ing 515, or 11 per cent of the total number of southern school dis-s tricts, are either in noncompli- ance or in questionable compli- ance with the law. Of this number, federal funds for 126 have been terminated. 103 have been cited for administrative proceedings and 286 are currently in negotiations with the depart- ment. Panetta said, "These figures are clear evidence of the fact that the vast majority of southern school districts are in compliance with the law. HEW's responsibility now is to do everything possible and provide whatever assistance may be necessary to bring the remain- ing few into equal compliance." 'ARTISTIC-INTEGRITY' Smothers consider Canada NEW YORK I) - Tom and Dick Smothers said yesterday they have an offer f r o m the Canadian CTV network to pro- duce their show in Toronto next year if they cannot place it with an American network., Dick said the chances were "very slim" that they would re- turn to CBS, w h i c h canceled their show for next season after a long dispute over censorship. CBS's cancellation came af- ter a long dispute between the network and the brothers over censorship of political, sexual, social, and religious satire on the program. Robert D. Wood, CBS Televi- sion president, said on Friday the Smothers Brothers had committed a "breach of c o n- tract" by failing to submit the tape of last Sunday's show in time for previewing by affiliate stations over a closed circuit. Wood said t h e scheduled show, which was not shown, was in "bad taste" because of a reli- gious satire. Tom and Dick said their main concern was not "whether peo- ple like the Smothers Brothers show or think it artistically cre- ative." "Our concern is that in Amer- ica it is more than ever neces- sary that unpopular opinion and divergent views be shown on tel- evision," Tom explained. "T h e network presidents repeatedly say that the air waves belong to the people. We believe that." Tom said he found that many programs presented sexual hu- mor with greater candor than his show. "Unfortunately, we, were told we opened a lot of doors and now they want to close the doors," he said. In a news conference Sunday, Tom discussed originating t h e Smothers Brothers s h o w from Canada. "We could call it The Smoth- ers Brothers in Exile," he said- He also announced t h a t he and Dick have reversed their de- cision to sue CBS for their ac- tion. Dick Smothers said the chanc- es that they would return to CBS were "very slim." He said they had not received any of- fers from ABC or NBC, but that they were open to any offers. The disputed show was aired without cuts on CTV in Canada, where one critic said a comedy sermon by David Steinberg "could hardly be considered of- fensive by anyone. It was a brief and tame satire on a bibli- cal theme." In the program, shown at the news conference, Steinberg re- lates that Jonah had not been swallowed by a whale, but in- stead sailed on a ship "com- mandeered by 23 Gentiles." He said the Gentiles, "as they are wont from time to time, threw the Jew overboard" and he was swallowed by a giant guppy. Another segment, w i t h Dan Rowan of NBCs "Laugh-In," satirized Sen. John O. Pastore, the Rhode Island Democrat who termed television loaded w it h "sex and violence" at r e c e n t Senate hearings. Tom Smothers and Rowan awarded Pastore the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate. - . il buildup of SS9 nuclear rock- ets, he added. Pentagon experts contend t h e SS9's indicate a Soviet first-strike capability against which an ABM defense is needed. The development of the huge missiles has been used as an argu- ment by t h e administration in seelping senatorial support of the proposed "safeguard" anti-ballis- tic missile system- However, Rogers said yesterday, he had "difficulty in believing the Soviet Union would initiate the first strike" which would m e a n "destruction of mankind" in a
