ACCORDING to the court
transcript, Vine, now deputy
assistant secretary of state for
European affairs, told the court
that "the attorney general then
said to me, 'Can Walder help?
. . . and I said I did not think
he could." Vine went on to
testify that "the attorney gen-
eral then thanked me for this
information, said he was, I
think he said, 'I understand
perfectly' and asked to be kept
informed."
Documents made available to
The AP show that the next
morning Vine received a phone

call from one of Vesco's lawyers
ask' 'f the financier, who was
the ler SEC investigation in
con. .ion with his efforts to
take over the mutual fund com-
plex created by Bernard Corn-
feld, could be released on his
recognizance. Fifteen minutes
later, the documents show, Vine
contacted the CIA agent and
asked him to speak to Walder in
"a low key."
The agent immediately con-
tacted Walder by phone and re-
ported back to Vine in less than
two hours, according to the
documents.
WALDER'S Swiss title is most

frequently translated in English
as attorney general, but a Swiss
embassy official here said that
was misleading and confirmed
that his duties included serving
as the country's chief intelli-
gence officer. Walder has since
left the job, the official said.
In November 1972, Vesco was
accused by the SEC of master-
minding a scheme to milk $224
million in cash from Investors
Overseas Services. He subse-
quently was indicted along with
Mitchell and Stans for attempt-
ing tp influence the SEC in-
vestigation but avoided trial by
fleeing to Costa Rica.

THE FORD administration's
proposed windfall tax did not
include such a "plowback pro-
vision," but Zarb said inde-
pendent oil companies, with the
large financial risks to drill for
oil, have convinced him a plow-
back provision may be desire-
able after all.
Zarb said the same thing
could be accomplished simply
by raising the profit level to
"trigger," the windfall tax.
Zarb said, however, that a
profit allowance for oil develop-
ment should be applied only to
profits made on oil exploration
and production; profits derived
from refining and selling pe-
troleum products should be ,ub-
ject to windfall taxation.
WHILE Congress was passing
legislation to block Ford's
price-raising moves, the Presi-
dent planned to veto that legis-
lation, and Zarb said he thought
Congress would not override the
veto.

If Ford's program were block-
ed, however, Zarb said the ad-
ministration would not feel
forced to resort to strict fuel
allocations or rationing.
"I think we would just have
to go back and try and recon-
vince them and the American
people . . . that using the mar-
ket mechanism is more effec-
tive and less disruptive, and
more equitable," Zarb said.
