Coal w
reach
WASHINGTON VP) - Federal
mediators were trying yester-
day to resolve new impasse in
coal talks that threatens a na-
tionwide coal strike, but no pro-
gress was reported in attempts
to get both sides back to the
bargaining table.
Contract negotiations broke off
abruptly when union bargainers'
walked out early yesterday, ac-
cusing management of forcing a
strike.
A SPOKESMAN for the Fed-
eral Mediation Service said the
government's top mediator, W.
J. Usery has since been in
contact with both industry and

orker
impass
union negotiators and was trying
hard to get the talks going
again.
In a statement, Usery said:
"I sincerely believe that both
parties are working very hard
to consummate an agreement.
They are at work on their posi-<
tions and I would hope and ex-
pect bargaining to continue."
At the White House, Press
Secretary Ron Nessen said in
response to a question, "it would
be very premature" to discuss
possible invocation of the Taft-
Hartley Labor Relations Act by
President Ford to bar a strike
I next week.

resigns

dept. post
WASHINGTON (M~ - Henry
Petersen, who directed the early
Watergate investigation and re-
layed reports of grand jury pro-
gress to former President Rich-
ard Nixon, is resigning as assist-
ant attorney general.
Speaking with reporters yes-
terday after his resignation was
announced at the White House,
Petersen defended his decision
to relay the information to the
former President.
"IF YOU CAN'T trust the
President of the United States
you are in trouble, that's all
there is to it," he said. "I'm
afraid that if I had to do it all
over again, I would do it," he
h said.
Petersen said the controversy
affected his ability to work in
the Justice Department.
"I feel that my credibility has
been affected -and I think that's
terribly important in a job such
as the assistant attorney gen-
eral," he said.
PETERSEN, whose most re-
cent assignment has been di-
recting the criminal division,
will retire Dec. 31 after 27
years with the department.
Petersen said his decision to
retire was affected by two
factors.
Under the federal pay system,
he said, he was ernsing only
$100 more per month than he
would receive in benefits if he
retires.
Then, referring to the Water-
gate controversy, he said: "The
events of the past counle of
years have taken their toll. It's
ben agavery weardit, hexri
ence."

ROME OP) - Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger challeng-
ed the World Food Conference
yesterday to ignore national dif-
ferences and establish a global
food bank to provide reserves
for fighting famine.
He said the United States
has an open mind about a new
world food authority "to fuse
our efforts and provide leader-
ship" for the war on hunger.
"LET THE nations gathered
here resolve to confront the
challenge, not each other," he
told delegates of more than 100
nations at the opening session of
the 11-day conference. "Let us
agree that the scale and sever-
ity of the task require a colla-
borative effort unprecedented in
history."
As the American secretary of
state appealed for unity, Italian
leftists marched through the city
and demonstrated at the Collos-
seum against his presence in
Rome, and terrorists attacked
an American firm for the fourth
day. The strong Italian Com-
munist party is angry because
of alleged American meddling
in Italian politics.
During his stay of less than
a day, Kissinger constantly was
shadowed by Italian and Amer-
ican security forces, including
200 policemen outside the Vati-
can when Kissinger went in for
a visit with Pope Paul VI. He
also met with Italian politicians
and the Argentine and Greek
foreign ministers.
KISSINGER, the main speak-
er at the conference's opening,
was not off the speaker's ros-
trum an hour before the Argen-
tine, Alberto Vignes, began wnat
is expected to be a systematic
assault on the United States and
other affluent countries as being
too well-fed and too rich.
Vignes charged that the Unit-
ed States is partially responsible
for the world's monetary and
food crises and said:y
"By way of reparation of the
damage that it has caused the
world with the devaluation of its
currency, the United States
should allocate a significant por-
tion of the food it produces
toward covering the needs of
those countries that do not have
enough to pay."
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
of the United Nations, K u r t
Waldheim, also assailed the dis-
parity between the industrial and
the underdeveloped countries in
his address that opened the con-
ference. "The great differences
in the consumption habits be-
tween the rich and the poor
societies . . . become indefen-
sible in periods of penury and
shortage," Waldheim said.

William Hundley, lawyer for
Mitchell, said that playing tap-
es which include incriminating
references to Mitchell could
deny him his right to face his
accusers.
Daniel Mahan, an FBI agent,
testified he interviewed b o t h
Mitchell and Ehrlichman as
part of his assignment "to de-
termine all the persons involved
in the break-in."
MITCHELL was interviewed
on July 6, 1972, and according
to Mahan's written report, he
stated, "he had no knowledge
of the break-in of the Democrat-
ic National Committee head-
quarters other than what he has
read in newspaper accounts of
that incident."
On July 26 1972, Ehrlichman
told Mahan "that he is in pos-
session of no information rela-
tive to th break-in of the Demo-
cratic National Committee head-
quarters on June 17, 1972, otner
than what he has read in the
way of newspaper accounts of
that incident."
