GREAT BRITAIN'S DECISION yesterday to sell helicopters to
South Africa has ended a six year embargo on the sale of all wea-
pons to that country.
The move sparked protests both inside and outside Britain by poli-'
ticians and governments hostile to South Africa's apartheid policies.
Following the decision South Africa promptly put in a request for
seven of the Wasp helicopters used as anti-submarine aircraft.

SENATOR ROBERT GRIFFIN (R-Mich.) proposed yesterday
a Congressional investigation of two weekend foul-ups in the CivilI
Defense attack warning system.
The Defense Department and the Federal Communications Com-
mission (FCC) have said they will take a closer look at the warning
system.
Sunday, the national emergency warning center test was not relayed
on the Associated Press broadcast wire, constituting the second mat-
function of the system in two days.
MAJOR WORLD POWERS are reportedly putting pressure on
the Palestine guerrillas to accept a Palestinian state and abandon
their aim to destroy Israel, Egyptian papers have reported.
The reports indicated that the United States, the Soviet Union,
France and Egypt are involved in efforts to persuade the guerrillas to

The guerrillas have declared they would reject any Palestinian state
that does not include the territory that is now Israel.

firmed that an announcement would be made but declined to specify
the nature of the action.

after tornadoes almost leveled the town.

Tornadoes which tore
through dozens of towns in
the Mississippi and Louisiana
Deltas killed 82 persons, left
hundreds homeless a n d vir-
tually destroyed the Mississip-
pi community of Inverness, of-
ficials reported yesterday.
The twisters moved through the
area late Sunday night, while late
yesterday volunteers were still un-
covering victims beneath t h e
widespread rubble.
Hardest hit was the small town
of Inverness, Miss., where 13 per-
sons died and 90 per cent of the
business area was blown apart.
About 75 per cent of the residen-
tial area was destroyed.
Civil Defense officials said 22
died in Leflore County, 24 in
Sharley County, 17 in Sunflower'
County, seven in Yazoo County,
five in Humphreys, two in War-
ren.
In addition five died in Delhi,
La., in one of the first funnels to
drop out of the band of violent
weather which whistled through
the area just before dark.
The homeless werebeing f e d
and clothed in a dozen aid cen-
ters set up by the Red Cross and
Civil Defense.
Officials said food supplies were
adequate and that shipments of
medicine were en route. Hospitals
were overflowing and first a i d
centers were set up in schools and
civic centers.
One observer compared the de-
struction to the Mississippi Gulf
Coast where several hundred per-
sons died in Hurricane Camile 1%1
years ago.
Mississippi officials called on
the federal government for a i d
and asked that the sector be de-
clared a disaster area.
Civil Defense officials hamper-
ed by downed communications
lines, said they were having trou-
ble calculating the full extent of
the damage and the total num-
ber of deaths.
Weathermen said t h a t in all
there were probably 40 or 50 tor-
nadoes, spawned by the two twist-
ers in northeast Louisiana.
The American Insurance Asso-
ciation said insured property dam-
age in the states would exceed $7.5
million.
Calley takes
stand in trial
FT. BENNING, Ga. () - Tak-
ing the stand for the first time yes-
terday, Lt. William Calley Jr. said
army training taught him that all
orders were assumed to be legal.
Calley said if one disobeyed orders,
"You could be court martialed and
sentenced to death."
The infantry platoon leader
charged with murdering 102 South
Vietnamese civilians at My Lai
three years ago, was the 75th wit-
ness in the trial that began Nov.
12.
Asked by his defense attorney,
George Latimer, if he felt there
was any necessity for him to de-
termine the legality of an order,
Calley replied:
"No sir, I was never told I had
a choice."
The defendant also testified he
never took drugs and had no police
record, excepting minor traffic
citations.

WASHINGTON 0) - An Army general received
$1,000 monthly from Vietnam's most notorious sales
promotor, shielded him from military investigators
and permitted him to store smuggled goods in Army
warehouses, a U.S. Senate panel was told yester-
day.
Senators probing alleged corruption in the armed
services' $6 billion post exchange, clubs and recrea-
tion activities were told former Brig. Gen. Earl
Cole, 51, used his influence as a staff officer in
Vietnam to protect free wheeling entrepeneur Wil-
liam Crum.
The Army gave no explanation last July when it
removed Cole from command of the European Post
Exchange system, reduced him to colonel, and or-
dered him to retire.
In his testimony, Jack Bybee, former general
manager for two of Crum's most lucrative Viet-
nam business enterprises, said Crum sent his mili-
tary contacts, including Cole, to Hong Kong to pick
up kickback money from a local financial institu-
tion.
Testifying under oath, Bybee said Crum illegally
used official and counterfeit military purchase or-

ders to smuggle merchandise into Vietnam duty
free and used shredding machines to destroy docu-
ments.
Bybee said Crum made good use of Cole, a long-
time friend, in his booming business enterprises.
He said Crum employed Cole once to drive a slot
machine competitor from business through a raid
Crum boasted he paid for.
When a gift-shop concession held by Crum was
doing poorly, Cole arranged for a local Army non-
commissioned officers club to buy its assets at
retail prices a $120,000 deal that included a $12,000
kickback to the sergeant in charge of the clubs,
Bybee said.
Warned the Army's Criminal Investigations Divi-
sion was about to raid his Saigon headquarters
searching for fraudulent military pumchase forms
and other evidence of wrongdoing, Crum turned for
help to Gen. Cole, then deputy chief of staff for
personnel and administration at Long Binh, Bybee
said.
"Mr. Crum said Gen. Cole was costing him $1,000
a month and this was the sort of favor he could
expect to ask of the general," Bybee testified.

polluting effects" and argued the
plane is within a few years of
bearing fruit as an economy-ex-
panding, job-providing industry of
the future.
The committee announced the
drive will start today with full-
page advertisements in all three
Washington daily newspapers, di-
rected at Congress which decides
next month whether to keep the
program alive.
Donald J. Strait, a Fairchild
Hiller Corp. vice president and the
committee's industry co-chairman
said the nationwide drive has a
$350,000 budget and its primary
aim is to develop what he called a
grassroots letter writing move by
citizens to their congressmen to
vote for the plane.
Strait said the committee was
set up to coordinate and direct all
industry and labor backing for the
plane - and denied the commit-
tee was formed from f e a r the
plane's continued federal funding
