The first step, according to the memo, is to force the little green creatures to land, by shouting to them through a public address system if necessary. (The memo did not spe- cify what language, if any, is to be used in such in- stances.) The next order of business is the ticketing of all flying saucers caught zizzing over the Motor City at excessive speeds. Detroit cops are further required to issue diplomatic immunity to all extraterrestrials, and to separate the male whatevers from the females for questioning.

" China hits U.S., USSR The Chinese Communists have criticized both the So- viet Union and the United States for trying to end the Middle East war, which they see as a just fight on the part of the Arabs. The official news agency charged that Moscow and Washington were involved in big-power politics centering around a grab for Middle East oil. A no-war, no-peace truce suits both big powers more than a resolution recognizing Arab claims, the agency said. Ellsberg accuses Nixon The tape-recorded voice of Daniel Ellsberg told per- sons in a hushed circuit courtroom in Madison, Wisc. that President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kis- singer should be tried for war crimes before the govern- ment prosecutes antiwar bomber Karleton Armstrong.

He has pleaded guilty to arson and second-degree murder in the 1970 bombing of the Army Mathematics Research Center at the University of Wisconsin. Meany: Nixon's nuts AFL-CIO President George Meany has called Presi- dent Nixon emotionally unstable, but the White House quickly replied that Nixon's health is excellent.

White House officials had ex- pected some of the steam would be taken out of the drive to expel Nixon from office after he agreed Tuesday to surrender secret tape recordings of White House c mnver- sations on the Watergate bugging scandal. BUT PETER Rodino (D-N.J.), chairman of the House of Repre- sentatives Judiciary Committee, charged with holding the inquiry, said after a meeting of Democratic members yesterday: "We are of a single purpose and that is to go full speed ahead with the question of impeachment proceedings." The Democrats hold 21 of the 38 seats on the judiciary and can force through a speedy investiga- tion. At the same time, Acting Attor- ney-General Robert Bork said he intended to press hard with the Congress will not back off: The fat is in the fire' By DAN BIDDLE Special To The Daily WASHINGTON-John Seiberling, the Democratic congressman from Akron, Ohio, is no wildeyed liberal. But President Nixon's de- cision to release the Watergate tapes Tuesday has not changed Seiberling' s mind on impeachment. Last nighthe emerged from a meeting of House Judiciary Com- mittee Democrats and declared solid backing for the impeachment process set into motion by events over the weekend: "The. fat is in the fire," he said. THE COMMITTEE announced its plans to begin an investigation of alleged high crimes and misde- meanors by the President of the United States, and inspite of Nix- on's most recent pronouncement the fat is sizzling loudly. It was reported yesterday that House Republican leaders provided the main impetus for Nixon's abrupt agreement to release the tapes by warning that GOP mem- bers would not "go to the wall" Daily News Analysis with Nixon in the event of an im- peachment vote. White House spokesperson Ger- ald Warren flatly refused to dis- cuss thatreport, saying only that Nixon acted "for the reasons al- ready stated"-to obey the appeals court order he had earlier defied. BUT EDWARD Hutchinson (R- Mich.), the senior GOP member See HOUSE, Page 10 'investigation into the Watergate scandal. "There is no evidence that we need and we are entitled to that I will not go after," he said. NIXON WAS to have gone before the television cameras last night to give his side of the public con- troversy that arose over his dis- missal of Archibald Cox as special Watergate prosecutor but-in an- other change of mind-switched to holding a televised press confer- ence tonight at 9. In a historic turnabout Tuesday, Nixon agreed to hand over the Watergate tapes to Judge John Sirica. He had fired Cox only last Saturday for refusing to give up his legal fight to obtain the tapes. After spending the night at his Maryland mountain retreat, Camp David, Nixon flew back to Wash- ington yesterday with a draft of his speech in his pocket. But then he changed his mind, saying he was concentrating on the Middle East crisis. GEORGE MEANY, president of the AFL-CIO, and a bitter critic of the President, said the events of the last several days "prove the dangerous emotional instability" of the President. Presidential spokesperson Gerald Warren promptly described Meany's remark as incredible and inexcusable, and s a i d Nixon's health was excellent. But backed by a firestorm of protests, which the White Hose openly acknowledged, over the di- missal of Cox, many Democratic congressmembers appeared as de- termined as ever to go ahead with their attempt to impeach Nixon. UNDER THE proceedings, the House would decide whether there was enough evidence to impeach the President. If a majority of the House agreed to impeach, the Senate would hold a trial and could expel Nixon from office. Asked about the preliminary Ju- diciary Committee inquiry, Jerome Waldie (D-Calif.), a committee member, said: "I see no differ- ence between this and full im- peachment proceedings, except se- mantics." RODINO SAID the Democrats agreed they would, if necessary, vote to give him full powers to subpoena evidence. Relatives seek girl's safe return Yesterady, R u t h Postif's aunt and uncle came to Ann Arbor to look for their niece. They came armed with posters with her picture which they spread around campus.

She was last seen sitting witha stranger in the family car at a gas station in Inkster. Saturday the car turned up near Cherry Hill just outside Ann Ar- bor. And so, her relatives-Mark and Helen Graham of Detroit- think somebody here might know something about it. "We're pleading that she be re- turned safely," Graham said. "Her parents will not press charges (against the abductors) if they fol- low instructions," he added. THE "INSTRUCTIONS," which appear on Graham's leaflet, call unon the abductor or abductors to Congress prepares for battle over veto WASHINGTON (Reuter) - President Nixon yesterday ve- toed a congressional bill lim- iting his powers to wage un- declared war, saying to let the bill stand would seriously un, dermine the ability of the United States to act decisive- ly in international crises. Nixon said in a message to the House of Representatives that the bill would increase the likelihood of miscalculation by other powers and the risks of war itself. ADMINIST RATION' officials have said they are confi- dent that neither the House nor the Senate could muster the two- thirds majority required to over- rule the President's veto. But the House of Representatives had approved the bill, designed to prevent U. S. involvement in an- other Vietnam-type war, with only four votes less than the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto. Political observers said there would be no problem in mustering the two-thirds majority in the Sen- ate, and the override vote could be See NIXON, Page 7 AP Photo WATERGATE SECURITY GUARD Frank Wills-the man who started the ball rolling by nabbing the CREEP burglars red-handed -is looking for a job.

SEC:URITY COUNCIL: UNnu( forceJ By AP and Reuter UNITED NATIONS-Eight neu- tral members of the United Na- tions' Security Council early this morning called for the immediate creation of a UN emergency pea:e- keeping force in the Middle East. The draft resolution calls for an "immediate. and complete cease- fire." The measure also demands that the combatants withdraw to positions held on Monday, when the truce was first declared. The resolution, which has yet to be approved by the entire council, requests ''an immediate increase in the number of UN observers on both sides." PRIVATE consultations on the text were held during a prolonged suspension of the council's debate on new Egyptian charges that Is- rael had violated the ceasefire called for in two resolutions adopt- ed on Monday and Tuesday. Informed sources said the pro- posal was to decide whether to es- tablish an emergency force, and instruct Secretary-General Kurt iy set up peace For Middle East Waldheim to submit a blueprint for its composition and operations. The plan countered Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's sugges- tion that the U. S. and the Soviet Union interpose their own forces in the area. THE NON-ALIGNED members, already sceptical of the super- powers' involvement in the crisis, were said to be opposed to the Sadat plan. China's response to the estab- lishment of a UN force was uncer- tain, but the Chinese were not ex- pected to exercise their veto if Egypt and Syria came out in favor of the idea.

The 7,995 ton LaSalle, owned by the Waterman Steamship Corpora- tion, said in a message received by Lloyd's Shipping Intelligence that the incident occurred at 10:02 EDT. LaSalle's S.O.S. call said: "Man of war fired twice across our bow. We are now stopped." Lloyd's said the LaSalle had ar- rived at Jeddah and was bound-for Djibouti. It is on a voyage from New York to Madras. No other details were immedi- ately available.

After feeding the meter two hour's worth of dimes Ron hurried on his way. AT 11 A.M. RON remembered that he had an appointment in 15 minutes. Instead of moving his car into the lot, he in- nocently shelled out an additional 20c for an- other hour. Ron then went to see a University bureau- crat to discuss whether he could qualify for in- state residency status. The bureaucrat never established for the parking space adjacent to the parking meter." Translated, that means you can not stay in one parking space for more time than the meter originally allows you to purchase. IF IT IS A two-hour space you may not stay any longer even if you buy more time. The fine is two dollars. Ironically for Ron, if he had allowed the time to run out he would have been subject to a fine of just one dollar. Capt.
