1982 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Syria Army Sets 'Hi Command Asks Army Un'ity DAMASCUS (M)-Maj. Gen. Abdel Kerim Zahreddin, the army chief, announced yesterday formation of a new high command, the membership of which is still secret, to guide the nation and seek unity with other Arab powers. The announcement, made on the second day after the suppression of a pro-Nasser military rebellion at Aleppo in northern Syria, said the new command "enjoys the support and confidence of all army units throughout the country." Hailing democracy as "one of the prime characteristics of the Syrian people," Damascus radio said the new command already had Walker Raps State Department Dutch Block Labor Party THE HAGUE (AP)-The Dutch government yesterday easily beat down an effort by the Labor Party to promote surrender of West New Guinea to Indonesia, a militant claimant. The lower house, backing argu- ments of Foreign Minister Joseph Luns, rejected Laborite motions for arrangements to transwer sover- eignty over the Pacific island col- ony to the Indonesians and halt the shipment of Dutch military reinforcements. The vote on each of the motions was identical, 90-47. The parliamentary showdown came while the United States was trying to get Indonesia and the Netherlands to resume the secret, informal negotiations which broke off in Washington two weeks ago. Dutch government sources said Ellsworth Bunker, the United States diplomat acting as third party, had submitted a proposed agenda and suggested that the talks begin again April 13. Neither Luns nor Premien Jan de Quay mentioned a possibility of revival of the negotiations in the house debate. But Indonesia's foreign minister told newsmen in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, the United States activity is meeting with some success. "There has been no definite de- velopment from these American moves," he said, "but the possibil- ity of the resumption of the in- formal talks is increasing." Military angles, however, were emphasized by these develop- ments: Indonesia admitted one of its planes strafed an Okinawa tuna fishing boat Tunesday night off Morotai, an eastern Indonesian island. It charged the boat, the 144-ton Kyuyo Maru, violated In- donesian waters and failed to give proper identification. A report re- ceived in Okinawa said one of four crewmen wounded in the attack had died. A Dutch spokesman in Hollan- dia, West New Guinea's capital, said questioning of prisoners dis- closed Indonesians who have Infil- trated the offshore islands of Gag and Waigeo are Indonesian army commandos. Red Chinese SDecry Party TOKYO (A')-In terms that sug- gested a new purge may be immi- nent, Red China's leadership yes- terday sharply denounced the thousands who make up the main- land's Communist bureaucracy. The Peiping People's Daily, which speaks for the Chinese lead- ership, demanded the "re-educa-j tion of many of the more than 12 million members of the Chinese party, the largest in the Commu- nist camp. The unusually strong attack on the men and women who carry out the policies of the Peiping rulers' raised the possibility they may soon be blamed in part for the present Chinese crisis. Until inow the Chinese high command has at- tributed a three-year succession of crop failures to natural calami- ties. 'taken up its task of "regulating democratic life" and assuring "sta- bility to face-imperialist plots." Sound Unity An official statement also said the new command already was working toward unity with "other liberated Arab powers." This unity, it added, must be on "a sound and genuine foundation and with con- ditions designed to insure Syria's dignity and avoid errors of the past." Syria's .four-year merger with Egypt under President Gamal Ab- del Nasser was demolished by an army coup last September. A sec- ond coup eight days ago overthrew the civilian government on the ground it had gone too far in re- scinding some of Nasser's advances toward Arab socialism. Second Coup The second coup did not go far enough to suit pro-Nasser elements in Aleppo, who sought to reforge the union with Egypt. Yesterday's announcement nam- ed no Arab country with which Syria is seeking.unity, and it indi- cated the new high command en- visages more national freedom and sovereignty than it had in the old union with Egypt. Radio arguments began cackling back and forth between Cairo and Damascus soon after the Damascus command announce dthe settle- ment of the Aleppo revolt. Cairo accused Damascus of breaking a pledge made at a con- ference with the pro-Nasser rebels. WASHINGTON (M)- Edwin A. Walker, crusading former general, charged yesterday he was "framed in a den of iniquity"-and listed Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Walt Whitman Rostow, high presi- dential adviser, as among the dwellers in the "den." The embattled advocate of a "hard" anti-Communist line made no direct charge that Rusk and Rostow did any framing. "Not worthy of comment," Rusk said when newsmen asked him about Walker's allegations. He added that "I'm happy to be link- ed with Rostow-he is an able and Defense Arthur Sylvester and Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, chairman close colleague." No Comment The White House said it would have no comment. Walker's thesis before a Senate Armed Services subcommittee was that there's iniquitous policy in high places, a soft-on-Communism policy, a "sell-out" plot.+ He mentioned Rusk and Rostow when pressed to name those he re-j gards as influential figures in a secret "control apparatus" which he said always follows the "soft line on Communism." In response, he said he certainly would question Rusk's and Ros- NLRB Allows Corrupt Unions WASHINGTON (P) - The Na.- tional Labor Relations Board held yesterday that under the law it cannot prevent a labor union lab- elled as corrupt from obtaining worker collective bargaining rights. The board made its unanimous ruling in ordering an election held in 30 days for employes of the Alto Plastics Corp., Los Angeles, to choose whether they want eith- er of two competing labor orga- nizations to represent them. One of the unions-the AFL- CIO International Union of Allied Industrial Workers-already rep- resents the workers but has been challenged by Local 886 of the In- dustrial Workers Federation of Labor, an independent organiza- tion. DEAN RUSK .. denies charges of whom were criticized by Walker Wednesday in testimony before a Senate Armed Services subcommit- tee investigating alleged muzzling of military men by the Pentagon. Walker accused Sylvester of having played a major part in ac- tions that led to his resignation from the Army after being re- buked for accusing some Ameri- can leaders of Communist colora- tion. "The basis, if any, for Walker's charges against Arthur Sylvester is wholly unclear to me from the record," McNamara's statement said. Restore Liaison In Red Zone BERLIN ()-United States and Soviet commanders agreed yes- terday to restore freedom of move- ment to the United States liaison mission in Communist East Ger- many and to the Soviet mission in West Germany. The agreement was reached at two meetings in Potsdam, East Germany, between Gen. Bruce C. Clarke, United States Army com- mander in Europe, and Marshal Ivan S. Konev, Soviet commander in Germany. The agreement, ending a series of restrictive moves and counter- moves between Russia and the United States, called for resump- tion of normal mission activity starting at midnight. There was no public mention of the quarrel that caused the re- strictions, touched off March 20 when East German police shot up a sedan of the United States mili- tary mission. Dean Sees Soviet Policy As Impasse GENEVA (W) - The Soviet Un- ion's tough "take it or leave it" policy makes it impossible to con- clude a nuclear test ban treaty, United States Ambassador Arthur H. Dean declared yesterday. He told a three-power subcom- mittee meeting working on the test ban that negotiations are frozen but that the United States "is willing to wait hopefully" for a last-minute change in the Soviet attitude. The Soviet delegate, Semyon Tsarapkin, countered with a charge that United States plans to resume atmospheric testing in mid- Pacific late this month "had made the position darker." He said the Kremlin is willing to accept a moratorium on all tests while ne- gotiations here continue. The Soviet Union has said it would set off a new series of shots of its own if the United States se- ries takes place. Despite the complete disagree- ment blocking the three nuclear powers, t h e i r representatives agreed to meet again Monday aft- ernoon for yet another effort to resolve the deadlock. The United States, Britain and the Soviet Un- ion are sitting together as a sub- committee of the 17-national gen- eral disarmament conference. Basically the disagreement re- volves around this issue: the Unit- ed States and Britain insist that a treaty banning atomic and hy- drogen weapon explosions must be enforced by an adequate interna- tional inspection and verification system. The Soviet Union main- tains such a system would flood Russian territory with spies.

He said he considers them very influential in the hidden apparatus he spoke of. After the hearing, the tall, in- tense general put on a display of muscle in a corridor. He punched the left eye of a reporter who tried to ask him what his attitude is toward George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi. Trust, Confidence Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said "I have complete trust and confidence" in Adamj Yarmolinsky, his special assistant accused by Walker of having had close Communist connections. At the same time, McNamara defended Assistant Secretary of of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both An Associated Press News Analysis WASHINGTON-President John F. Kennedy asked Congress yester- day for $500 million over the next three years as a first step toward helping cities unsnarl traffic fa- cilities outmoded by mushrooming suburbs and growing use of autos. And Kennedy held out hope that air, rail and bus travelers can en- joy bargain rates by recommend- ing that Congress remove federal control over minimum intercity fares. This was the highlight of his call for a drastic overhaul of what the President described as "a chaotic patchwork of incon- sistent and often obsolete" laws and rules governing transporta- tion. Kennedy said he is convinced "that less federal regulation and subsidization is in the long run a prime prerequisite of a healthy in- tercity transportation network." The chief executive's 10,000- wordmessage spelled out his solu- tions for pressing problems "bur- dening our national transportation system, jeopardizing the progress and security on which we depend." He ignored former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's recom- mendation for creation of a' gov- ernment department of transpor- tation. The message, cancelled last year and delayed this year, is the last of several Kennedy sent to Congress this year detailing his proposals for the nation. Chairman Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash) of the Senate Commerce Committee which handles legisla- tion in this field, said some of Kennedy's proposals are contro- versial but that the message "rep- resents a step forward." The most economically far- reaching recommendations deal with freight traffic, a matter of academic interest to the traveling public but of life and death con- cern to carriers. One of these, calling for an end to government fixing of minimum freight rates, answers a prayer of railroads. The rail carriers, whose share of inter-city revenue freight tonnage has skidded, complain that inabil- ity to lower charges to shippers -though justified by technologi- cal advance-has struck them a heavy blow.
