KING HUSSEIN of Jordan told Palestinian guerrillas yes-
terday to end their attacks on his army and fight the Israelis
occupying Jordan's West Bank instead.
The king said his army, which has fought the guerrillas for 12
consecutive days, would willingly support the guerrillas against Is-
rael's West Bank positions.
ECUADORIAN PRESIDENT Jose Maria Velasco yesterday
fired his nephew as Defense Minister, heading off the second
challenge to his power in less than a week.
Velasco fired his nephew, Jorge Acosta Velasco, under pressure
from disaffected army leaders, who announced their plans to try the
former minister on, charges of fomenting army disunity.
Velasco also released Gen. Luis Chavez, leader of last week's coup,
from prison, and appeared to have weathered the latest crisis in his
sporadic 36-year dictatorship. Velasco has been proclaimed President
five times, and bounced out three times.
A WILD MELEE in which three were arrested erupted yester-
day in a San Francisco court following the setting of Aug. 9 as
the start of the Soledad Brothers murder trial.
George Jackson, one of three black convicts accused in the death'
of a white guard at Soledad Prison in Jan., 1970, started the fray
involving spectators, prisoners, and riot police by striking a baliff at-
tempting to confiscate a newspaper.
The Soledad Brothers took part in an unsuccessful escape at-
tempt in Aug., 1970, in which a judge and a youth died.
SENATE LEADERS of both parties said yesterday that they
had no knowledge from senators concerning alleged FBI tapping
of their lines.
Both Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) and Minority
Leader Hugh Scott (R-Pa) denied knowledge of FBI bugs on con-
gressmen's phones. House Democratic Leader Hale Boggs (D-La) ac-
cused the FBI of planting wiretaps on congressmen, and angrily de-
manded the resignation of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
Atty. Gen. John Mitchell denied the FBI had ever bugged Con-
gressional phones, and demanded an immediate retraction of Boggs'
blast at the aging Hoover.
INTERIOR SECRETARY Rogers Morton yesterday sent to
Congress his proposed solution to an Indian land-claims dispute
that has been holding up final approval of the controversial
Alaska oil pipeline.
The Senate and House Interior Committees scheduled hearings
for April 29 to discuss Morton's proposal, which would compensate
Indians in the pipeline's path with $1 billion and 40 million acres
of land.
If approved by both the Indians and Congress, the settlement will
end a court injunction that has been delaying actual construction of
the 800-mile. $1 billion pipeline.

from East Pakistan reported yesterday that both Bengali sep-
aratists and their antagonists, the West Pakistan army, have

By The Associated Press
The shrill, biting staccato
whine of a chain saw pierces the
cold, night air. Thud. Another
billboard falls to the ground
along a highway in southern
Michigan.
Since Feb. 1, at least 75 bill-
boards have dropped by state
roadsides, victims of what high-
way department spokesmen have
dubbed the "Billboard Bandits."
"I imagine it's ecologists,"
says Capt. William Holland of
the Washtenaw County sheriff's
department, commenting on the
fallen billboards.
Virtually all of the signs, of-
ficials said, were illegally locat-
ed and destined for eventual re-
moval by t h e State Highway
others were too close to t h e
road or otherwise unlawful.
L a w enforcement officials
thought they had the case
cracked last month. Seven Ann
Arborteen-agers wereearrested
in the town of Fowlerville, near
the scene of t h r e e billboard
choppings.
Police said they found in the
teenagers' car a hatchet, a
chain saw and maps of Washte-
naw, Jackson a n d Livingston
counties, where the choppers
have struck frequently.
The seven pleaded innocent
and are awaiting trial on charg-
es of malicious destruction of
property.
