BENNING, Ga. 0A) - The government called it an undisputed fact yesterday that Lt. William L.

The four-month-long trial went into its closing arguments yesterday as the jury prepared for a possible start to their deliberations today. leg9al ANKARA, Turkey M - Pres- ident Cevdet Sunay said yes- terday the military ouster of P r e m i e r Suleyman Demirel was legally justified and sav- ed the country from a "dark crisis." Speaking on t h e state radio Sunay called for an end to po- litical bickering and asked Turks to support a new nonpartisan "na- tional coalition government be- ing formed to replace Demirel's conservative Justice party admin- istration. "We have reached a stage in which it is no longer possible to tolerate differences of belief, pol- icy or behavior among citizens and organizations whose duty it is to enforce the constitution," Sunay sad. T h e commanders of Turkey's 500,000-man armed forces threat- ened Frday to seize power if a 'strong and respected" new gov- ernment wasrnot formed to halt anarchy and make reforms. "Our armed forces . . . have once again carried out their du- ties according to the constitution and law No. 211, Sunay said. The constitution gives the arm- ed forces commanders the right to advise the Council of Ministers on matters of national security. Lsaw 211, governing military ac- ivities, gives the armed forces the duty to protect the nation and supervise national security. Sunay accused the Demirel gov- ernment of not bringing any planned and successful education- al reform, which he said was par- ticularly needed because of the drift of students into extreme ideologies and violence. He said a "strong new Cabinet" working above party "politics and rithin democratic principes would ackle problems with dynamic pol- ies, and solve the law and order problem with "speed and cour- age>" For these effortsto be success- ful Sunay asked that all citizens, political parties,, constitutional in- titutions, the opposition outside Parliament, youth and workers ooperate to support the new gov- ernment with constructive state- ments and behavior. HEW school spending hit Senator Walter Mondale (D- Minn.) accusedthe Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW) today of ignoring congres- sional guidelines in dispensing money to desegregate school dis- tricts. Mondale said HEW approved the purchase of a $15,000 mobile zoo and $30,000 in television equipment for school systems receiving funds from a $75 million school-desegre- gation program. The senator cited a Government Accounting Office (GAO) audit which he said shows_"applications were approved which contained proposals having nothing whatso- ever to do with the problems of desegregation.

Thousands of East Pakistanis stood silently behind a cordon of armed soldiers as Yahya drove from theairport for a meeting with Sheik Mujibur Rahman, East Pakistan's undis- puted leader who has seized con- trol of the provincial govern- ment in a move for greater au- tonomy from the central gov- ernment. A black flag of mourning flew over the gate of an arms fac- tory in place of the usual green flag with crescent of Pakistan.. Workers at a machine tool fac- tory next door hung an effigy of Yahya from the gate. "He is no longer our presi- dent," said a union spokesman. Sheik Mujib, as Rahman is popularly known, eased a gen- eral strike he called in the pro- vince but at the same t i m e tightened his hold on the pro - vincial government. Thousands of workers stayed off the job, however. East Pakistan is separated from West Pakistan, where the central government is located, n. Able toI a pain, it' by 1,000 miles of Indian terri- tory. Sheik Mujib, who heads the Awami League, the dominant political party in the East, is trying to force the West Pakis- tanis to agree to a large meas- ure of autonomy for the more populous eastern province. In the face of demands by lo- cal businessmen,dSheik Mujib agreed to order ports to func- tion; importsand exports to be moved; foreign mail and tele- grams transmitted; one hour of communications daily between the East and West, primarily to benefit banks. He also ordered the reopen- ing of government-owned fac- tories and foreign airline offic- es; payment of wages to govern- ment employes and employes of semigovernment agencies and the payment of pensions. The sheik also lifted his ban on payment of most taxes, but ordered the money be kept from the central government. the prosecution and the .defense that ditch .. ." said Prosecutor Capt.
