The Michigan Daily Vol. LXXXV, No. 49-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday; July 25, 1975 Ten Cents Twelve Pages U.N. w'il keep buffer force in Sinai Peninsula, By The Associated Press The United Nations Security Council voted 13-0 last night to extend the mandate of the U.N. buffer force in Sinai for another three months, until Oct. 24. The vote on the resolution extending the life of the U.N. Emergency Force (UNEF) positioned between Egyptians and Israeli troops had been delayed by a dispute over wording. CHINA AND Iraq did not participate in the vote, in -keeping with their usual prac- tice on UNEF. The Council action came less than six hours before the midnight expiration of the mandate, and was made possible by a last-minute compromise reached between the United States and Egypt. The resolution text the Council members and Egypt reached on privately Wednesday night had the Council "expressing satis- faction with" Egypt's eleventh-hour consent Wednesday in responseyto an appeal made by the Council two days earlier. SUBSEQUENTLY, diplomats reported, Egypt demanded the phrase "expressing appreciation for" its consent, but the United States held out against that. Israel was against either one. In Jerusalem, an Israeli government source said Egypt had "accepted in general terms" Israel's concept of a new Sinai agreement but that a dispute remained over the line to which Israel would with- draw. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said it was "premature" to say there was broad agreement. House kill support f WASHINGTON 0') - The House rejected President Ford's effort to resume arms sales to Turkey yesterday as opponents argued his plan would be submission to blackmail. After the 223 to 206 vote, Ford said= the decision "can only do the most serious and irreparable damage to the vital national security interests of the United States." HE SAID IT will affect not only "normally excellent relations" with Turkey and -its NATO alliance but also U.S. efforts to reach a settlement between Greece and Turkey over the Cyprus issue. Ford had made a last-minute appeal in -a letter to the House, pledging to seek a settlement of the Cyprus dis- pute. Opponents argued that Ford was submitting to "black- mail" by not pressuring Turkey to reduce its occupation forces on Cyprus in exchange for the arms sales. They said he was worried about Turkish threats to close U.S. bases in Turkey." OTHERS SAID Turkey violated U.S. aid laws in its invasion of Cyprus and that resuming arms aid would set a dangerous precedent. If passed, the bill would have permitted transfer of $185 million in weapons Turkey had contracted for be- fore Feb. 5. On that day, Congress cut off all U.S. nili- tary aid to Turkey because of its invasion of Cyprus. In effect, the bill would life Congress' embargo on cash and credit weapons sales to Turkey but continue the ban on grants of military aid. IN HIS statement, Ford said he hoped the House would "reconsider its failure to act. affirmatively." But Rep. William Broomfield of Michigan, ranking Re- publican on the 'House International Relations Commit- tee, said he sees no other alternative for getting a com- promise. "The House has responded with its position," Broom- field said, "but I think they've assumed a heavy burden by making this foreign policy decision and preventing s military ) Turke the administration from negotiating." APPLAUSE burst from the galleries and the floor as the arms sale, which was being approved during most of the -electronic vote, suddenly reversed in the final minute and was rejected. Rep. Ed Beard, (D-RI.), said, "I am delighted with the vote and extremely happy Congress did not get into a blackmail situation. I called this machine-gun diplom- acy." Rep. Stephen Solarz, (D-N.Y.), said the President had won the 297 to 98 House vote last year largely with the argument that the bases are needed to keep track of Soviet weaponry. 'I'm extremely happy Congress did not give into a blackmail situation. I call this machine gun diplomacy.' -Rep. Ed Beard (D-R..) "IN SO FAR AS these bases give us the capability to monitor present and possible future adherence to nuclear arms agreement," Solarz said, "I believe it is critical to maintain them." Rep. Charles Whalen, Jr., (R-Ohio), who voted to cut off the aid last year, told the House. "It's hard for a politician to admit he made a mistake, but it's quite clear that I did so." Whalen said Congress' aid cutoff has failed to force the Cyprus peace negotiations and instead has hardened the Turks against the negotiations and could turn them against the United States. "It can very possibly turn them to the oil-rich Arab nations for their financing," Whalen said, "and this would cause further disequilibrium in the Middle East." Apollo crew lands safely ABOARD USS NEW ORLEANS ()-Three astronauts returned safely to earth yesterday after a voyage in orbit with Soviet cosmonauts. The splashdown ended the Apollo era of space exploration. Astronauts Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald "Deke" Slayton rode their Apollo craft through a long blazing arc across Pacific skies and splashed down safely at 5:20 p.m. EDT, 330 miles west of Pearl Har- bor, Hawaii. "EVERYTHING went great," Stafford said. "It was a great ending to the Apollo project." The astronauts' Apollo craft was lowered by crane to the deck of the recovery ship where President Ford, in a call from the White House, told, the spacemen that their mission "adds a new dimension to interna- tional cooperation and this is extremely important now and in the days ahead.' Thus ended a space voyage of international coopera- tion, of new scientific exploration of the universe and the finale to a pioneering age for the spacecraft system which first carried man to the moon. "IT WAS SO much fun the past nine days," said Slay- ton, a man who waited 16 years for his first space trip. "I hate to go back to work again." Brand, another space rookie, told the shipboard crowd: "I've wondered all these years what this day would be like. It is a great feeling." In their brief talk, President Ford called Slayton "an old-timer in space" and the astronaut responded: "may- be some day we can take you up there in the shuttle." SOVIET LEADER Leonid Brehnev sent a telegram of congratulations to Ford that said "the flight of the See, APOLLO, Pages CIA panel to call Kissinger Chairman Frank Church of Idaho and John Tower of Texas answer questions at a press conference yes- terday.
