March 4, 1972 3 I II li I The Morning News, Wilmington, Del. Satun China muddies U.N. seabed talks Japan strains Saturday. for China policy Taiwan officials seem reassured TAIPEI (LTI-Asst. Secretary of State Marshall Green yesterday said he was successful in reassuring the Nationalist Chinese of continued American support despite improved U.S.

relations with Peking. Official statements Issued by the Taiwan government also indicated it was satisfied with 's reassurances during his visit here, as a followup to President Nixon's China visit. Green said he considered his mission here "successful for both sides." UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Communist China yesterday accused the United States of collusion with Japan for takeover of Chinese islands and with Nationalist China for plunder of undersea resources. Chinese delegate An Chih-yuan made the accusations in Red China's first speech in the U.N.

Committee on the Peice-ful Uses of the Seabed. U.S. Delegate John R. Stevenson, referring to accusations made by several speakers and not mentioning China particularly, told the committee: "We reject these AN said the United States was "forcibly occupying China's territory, Taiwan province." "Of late," he added, "it has colluded with the Japanese reactionaries and used the fraud of 'the reversion of Okinawa' in an attempt to include into Japan's territory the Tia-oyu and other islands islands appertaining to China's Taiwan province." He said the United States in recent years "collaborated with Japan and colluded with the Chiang Kai-shek clique" in submarine explorations China's coastal seas "in an attempt to further plunder China's coastal seabed resources." AN said the islands of Tia-oyu, Huangwei, Chihwei, a i a and Peihsiao, among others, "are part of China's sacred territory," and the seabed resources around them and adjacent to other parts of China "belong completely to China." He used the Chinese names for disputed islands that the Japanese call the Senkakus. They are considered likely to hold oil deposits.

"It is absolutely impermissible," he declared, "for any foreign ag- gressor to poke his fingers into them." Japanese Ambassador Mo-too Ogiso replied that "no other state but Japan could rightly claim sovereignty over the Senkaku islands." "THE reversion of administration of the Okinawa islands Japan is the realization of the longstanding wish of the entire Japanese people," he said, "and it will meet with the indignation of the Japanese people if the Chines? delegation tries to call it a fraud." The Chinese delegate also supported the claim to a 209- TOKYO (AP) Japan took a tentative stance yesterday for normalizing relations Red China but no firm policy has emerged, and Peking has voiced dislike for Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's performance. The opposition in Parliament is putting pressure on Sato to make a direct approach to Peking, and the government is working overtime to draft an acceptable unified view. Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda presented a sample view to a committee of the Hnuse of Representatives Friday night: ''Japan will make efforts in the future for normalization of relations with China in the recognition that Taiwan is the territory of the People's Republic of China." The opposition promised to consider this. Japan has diplomatic relations with the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan and has extensive investments there. Sato's opponents have accused him of vacillating on the China problem, saying one thing one day and another the next.

Peking radio took up this theme yesterday in a broadcast which quoted changing Sato remarks over a period of three days. "No matter what he says, he has stuck to his policy of hostility to China." the broadcast said.

No American troops were involved in the ground operation, they said. The advance is along a 20-mile front moving westward across the Central Highlands about 250 miles north of Saigon toward the point where the southeastern border of Laos and the northeast border SAIGON (UPI) A force of 14,000 South Vietnamese troops advanced into an area near the borders of Cambodia and Laos yesterday, launching a campaign against a communist stronghold that is believed to direct operations in the entire Central Highlands region.

"WE hold that it is witiiin each country sovereignty to decide the scope of its rights over territorial seas," he said. That position seemed likely to complicate international efforts to reach agreement on a uniform breadth for territorial waters. The issue will come to a head at a world conference on the law of the sea next year. Hanoi rips Nixon tour objectives SAIGON North Vietnam assailed President Nixon yesterday as a "bloodthirsty imperialist chieftain." The statement was made in an article on the U.S.

-Chinese communique and was one of the sharpest attacks ever made by the North Vietnamese against the President. The article, from the Communist Party newspaper Nhan 'Dan, was broadcast by Radio Hanoi. The reference to "commentator" indicated it was written or approved by high officials. ALTHOUGH dealing largely with the Shanghai communique that climaxed Nixon's visit to China, it alluded to the communique only as "a recent document." It did not mention China or Nixon's visit. North Vietnamese leaders have yet to inform their peo-ment on it directly in interna-ple of Nixon's trip, or to com-tional broadcasts.

The North Vietnamese described Nixon's remarks on problems of Vietnam, Indochina, and peace in Asia and the world as "cynical deceptive statements." The article said he had "bal-lyhooed" a U.S. desire to "remove the many walls still existing in the world which divide nations and people." It referred to other assertions contained in the U.S. portion of the Shanghai communique, among them that the United States opposes intervention. AT the moment he was saying these things, Nixon ordered intensified air attacks in both North and South Vietnam, the article said, adding: "This is how Nixon is working for peace and the self-determination of the Indochinese peoples." It also charged that the United States is "sowing discord among the Socialist countries and the forces of revolution and progress," a reiteration of the basic theme used by Hanoi since Nixon's plan to visit China was first announced last year. BELFAST (AP) Gunmen killed a British soldier here last night, claiming their fourth victim in three days The killing came only a few hours after Premier Brian Faulkner of Northern Ireland hinted at a political settlement of the strife that has resulted in 259 deaths in his province over the past 2''2 years.

Late Wednesday night a 28-year-old sergeant in the Ulster Defense Regiment died of wounds he received earlier in the week in Newry. Faulkner warned, however, that any attempt to force his people out of the United Kingdom would be resisted. The British soldier was killed instantly when he was hit in the head by a snipers bullet, an army spokesman said. He had been patrolling in a mixed Protestant-Roman Catholic area north of Belfasts Shankhill Road. The spokesman said the sniper opened fire from a dark alley and escaped in a car.

Indicating a possible deal with the British go ernment, Faulkner told the Protestant-based Ulster Unionist Council that reforms of the regional parliament could help strengthen the Jersey blaze destroys house QUINTON, N.J. A fire of undetermined origin yesterday morning destoryed the home of the Joseph Ownes family near here. Fire Chief Myron Henderson of the Quinton Fire Company said damage will probably exceed to the singel, brick-frame ranch house, on Telegraph Road near Cool Run Road about 5 miles south of Quinton. Henderson said the Owens were not home when the fire started about 9:45 a.m., apparently in the basement. Before units from Quinton and Alloway stopped the blaze about three hours later, the home was gutted, with part of the roof burned off and the contents i d.

of Cambodia join with that of South Vietnam. IT is In this area, the sources said, that military commanders believe the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong have established headquarters for the B3 front, the Communist military apparatus for the entire central part of South Vietnam. The main body of 11,000 South Vietnamese regulars encountered no resistance in the initial hours of the advance, the sources said, but 3,000 militiaman also participating reported killing 57 Viet Cong and capturing 13 others in fighting shortly after the advance began. There was no report on militia casualties. THE operation was the biggest by the South Vietnamese army since the invasion of eastern Cambodia last fall by about 25,000 government troops.

The sources said it was possible the current operation also would carry across the borders into both Cambodia and Laos. Communist forces have built up considerable strength in the area, recent intelligence reports have said, and have brought in heavy artillery, tanks and other armor. THE sources said a South Vietnamese reconnaissance plane yesterday morning spotted North Vietnamese tanks in the area about 20 miles north of the government's Ben Hot border camp. Air strikes were called, they said, and the planes destroyed at least two of the Soviet-built PT76 tanks. On other fronts yesterday, the U.S.

Command said four Americans were wounded when they tripped a booby trap shortly after disembarking from a helicopter in a field 20 miles north of Saigon.

(AP) The Pioneer 10 spacecraft raced beyond the moon in record time yesterday and measured the Earth's radiation belts as it cruised on toward the planet Jupiter, 21 months and more than 600 million miles away. "Everything aboard the spacecraft is working just fine. We're super happy about the whole thing," said an official of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Pioneer 10 was thrust on an almost perfect course toward Jupiter Thursday night by an Atlas Centaur rocket that drilled the payload to a speed of 31,413 miles an hour, nearly 7,000 miles faster than any space vehicle had flown.

Peter Walker, secretary of state for the environment, introduced a bill in the House of Commons under which irresponsible dumpers face a five-year jail sentence, an unlimited fine, or both. At present the penalty for dumping poisonous wastes on land is a fine of $261. Officials said the latest move followed legislation over the last decade that successfully reduced pollution of the air and rivers. The new measure is designed to curb the threat to land. Walker's announcement followed a week of growing public anxiety over the finding of a potentially lethal deposit of cyanide in a dumpyard used by children at Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Inquiries into the dumping of cyanide waste spread to other cities, with deposits uncovered in Coventry and Rugby. Belgrade heat may dethrone chess champ BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) The president of the International Chess Federation said yesterday that world champion Boris Spassky must forfeit his title if he refuses to accept the sites set for his match with Bobby Fischer. The statement by Dr. Max Euwe was reported from Moscow by the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug. The Soviet world champion and the U.S.

challenger failed earlier to agree on a match site and Euwe ruled that the 24 games would be divided equally between Belgrade and Reykjavik, Iceland. Spassky protested the decision, saying the climate of Belgrade was too hot. Anti-police protest caps German violence BERLIN (API A day of violence that included a massive explosion at Berlin police headquarters and the shooting of a policeman in Hamburg ended with 2,053 rock-throwing demonstrators protesting the police killing of a suspected member of the Baader-Meinhof gang. The anarchist gang, named for a man convicted of arson, has been blamed for the killing of a policeman, an attempted murder and several spectacular German bank robbies. The latest outburst of violence was thought to be in retaliation for the fatal police shooting of Thomas Weisbecker, 23, in Augsburg Thursday.

No one was hurt in the police headquarters explosion, but in Hamburg, a police officer and another suspected gang member were wounded in a gunfight. Troubled Soviet sub reported adrift WASHINGTON (UPI) Adisable Soviet submarine is continuing to drift helplessly in the North Atlantic, battered by 20 foot waves and 45-mile-an-hour winds and obscured by snow and fog at times, the Pentagon said yesterday. The nuclear sub's normal crew is 90 men but Pentagon officials did not know if the crew had been removed to any of the Russian surface ships struggling to help the disabled sub. Experienced seamen said that if any of the men remained on bord after a week on the surface in rough seas, "It would be a vomitous crew to say the least." The sub is floundering halfway between Newfoundland and Iceland. Low 10:05 10:07 P.M.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) The Rev. Philip F. Berrigan recognized that violence would be a part of a plan to kidnap presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger, FBI informer Boyd F.

Douglas Jr. testified yesterday. Douglas, a former convict, said Berrigan, an antiwar priest, first heard of the kidnap proposal in a secret letter written to him by Sister Elizabeth McAlister, a defendant in the Harrisburg Seven trial. HE said Berrigan wanted the kidnaping to coincide with the destruction of underground utility tunnels in Washington, which he and other Catholic activiss were planning. "I said I didn't see how it could be done without violence," Douglas said.

"Philip Berrigan agreed that he didn't see how it could be done without the use of violence. "I said it couldn't be done Westy calls Gl cuts a danger CHARLESTON, W.Va. (UPI) -Chief of Staff Gen. William C. Westmoreland said yesterday a reduction in Army strength below 860,000 expected to be reached by mid-year, would endanger national security.

"The army, together with the other services, is faced with maintaining national security and furthering national interests against threats that have not diminished," Westmoreland said. He did not specify what those threats were during an address here to local civic clubs and West Virginia legislators at a "Military Appreciation Day."
