Gandhi propose~s
peace talk-s for"
India, Pakistan-,
NEW DELHI, India U) - Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
has sent a letter to President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan
asking for unconditional peace talks, Radio Pakistan report-
ed yesterday.
The letter, the first direct communications between the
heads of government since their countries went to war in
December over Bangladesh, proposed talks either in India
or Pakistan but "not in a third country," the broadcast said.
The letter was sent through

i

the Swiss Embassy.

Davis confers
Defense attorney Leo Branton listens as Angela Davis talks as
the two leave the court in San Jose. The testimony continued
yesterday in the murder and conspiracy trial. (See News Briefs,

' HUSSEIN'S PLAN (ITED:

Sadat says Egypt to
cut ties with Jordan

The broadcast said the letter
was revealed by the Pakistan for-
eign secretary in a press briefing
at Islamabad.
It said the letter proposed that
representatives of the two govern-
ments with "all rights" - appar-
ently meaning negotiating author-
ity - should meet to prepare for
discussions between Bhutto and
Gandhi.
The foreign secretary said Bhut-
to would send a letter to Gandhi
in a day or two.
An Indian journalist close to
the Gandhi government reported
earlier that the prime minister
had suggested in a personal mes-
sage to Bhutto that official talks
be started leading to a meeting
between them.
Gandhi had said on Tuesday
the government was in direct
touch with Pakistan on the issue
of peace negotiations but did not
elaborate.
These developments followed a
Joint Indian-Soviet communique
which endorsed direct talks by the
governments of India, Bangladesh
and Pakistan to achieve an early
political settlement on the subcon-,
tinent.
The joint statement was issued
at the end of a visit to Moscow by
Indian Foreign Minister Swaran
Singh. Singh has stated the Soviet
Union has no intention of playing
a mediator's role. He said the
Kremlin accepts India's insistence
that matters be worked out by
India and Pakistan without the
interference of third parties.

ITT dispute
continues on
Beard memo,
By The Associated Press
Lobbyist Dita Beard told a Cal-
ifornia congressman she wrote the
disputed memo linking a commit-
ment of at least $200,000 by In-
ternational Telephone & Tele-
graph Corp. (ITT) to the Repub-\
lican National Convention and the
out-of-court settlement of anti-
trust suits pending against the
conglomerate, according to the
transcript of a newspaper inter-
view released yesterday by Sen.
John Tunney (D-Calif.).
In an interview March 3 with
a San Diego Union reporter, Rep.
Bob Wilson (R-Calif.), is quoted
as saying Beard was trapped into
writing the memo as the result of
an intraoffice feud.
Beard has denied under oath
that she wrote the memo, which
was published by columnist Jack
Anderson.
Versions of the transcript ap-
peared in the Union and the Bal-
timore Sun yesterday, and in a
telegram to Chairman James East-
land of the Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee, Wilson asserted that the
Sun story was inaccurate.
Wilson was not available for
comment. But in the telegram he
said, "I did not say in that inter-
view nor have I ever said that
there was a link between the GOP
convention guarantee by ITT and
the settlement of its antitrust
case."
The Union sent a telegram to
Eastland saying the transcript of
the Wilson interview did not in-
clude any statement by Beard
linking the GOP and ITT.

CAIRO UiP)-Egypt has severed
relations with Jordan in retalia-
tion for King Htlssein's proposal
to create a semiautonomous
state of Palestine on the occu-
pied West Bank of the Jordan
River, President Anwar Sadat
announced last night.
Addressing the Palestinian
National Council, Sadat also de-
clared that Egypt will fight Is-
rael "to defend Egypt's rights as
well as the Palestinians' rights.
We will fight from house to
house if necessary and pay the
price in blood."
Referring to the break with
Jordan, Sadat stated that he
took the action with regret, but
that Egypt could not let the
Jordanian front, their eastern

front against Israel, "become an
open door to the enemy."
As for Hussein's proposal, Sa-
dat charged it was drafted by
Deputy Premier Yigal Allon of
Israel to "dynamite the whole
Arab cause."
In Amman, a Jordanian gov-
ernment spokesman expressed
sorrow for Egypt's decision. He
said the Jordanian government
wil study the new situation aft-
er getting all related informa-
tion.
Egyptrisrthe third Arab state
to sever relations with Jordan.
Libya and Syria, Egypt's part-
ners in a federation, broke ties
after Hussein's army cracked
down on the Palestine guerrillas
in 1970-7f.
