At left is Israel's a Hutto Court-Martial in the 1967 war. Egypt insists that the first step in the talks should be a timetable for Israeli withdrawal and has demanded that this be set before it will agree to an extension of the Feb. ceasefire deadline. In an interview filmed in Cairo by CBS television news, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said he would accept a peacekeeping force of representatives of the United States, France, Britain and the Soviet Union on both sides of the frontier to ensure security for Israel and Egypt. "We need this guarantee more than Israel," Sadat said.

"We have been attacked in '56 and '67." Sadat said Egypt would continue to provide Mediterranean bases for the Soviet Union because the Soviets supported the Egyptians in the 1967 war. The semiofficial Cairo newspaper Al Ahram said Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny would remain in Egypt for three days of important political talks with Sadat after he attends ceremonies Jan. 15 marking completion of the Soviet-financed Aswan high dam. Al Ahram Editor Mohammed Hassanein Heikal said the next few weeks would be decisive in the Middle East crisis.

Comparing the situation to a boxing match, he said neither Israel nor Egypt could score a "knockout" with a destructive strike but Egypt, could win on points. In Paris, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad discussed the Middle East situation with French Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann Thursday and was to meet today with Schumann, President Georges Pompidou and Premier Jacques Chaban-Del-mas. Schumann said Riad's attitude "concerning guarantees and the evacuation of the occupied territories" was By United Presi International U.N. negotiator Gunnar Jarring arrived at heavily guarded Lydda Airport near Tel Aviv today to talk with Israeli leaders in what Premier Golda Meir has called "the most important meeting I have had in a long time." Jarring made the trip at the urging of Israel in effort to clear the way for progress in the Middle East peace talks that resumed Tuesday in New York. "We have come here to clarify and explore Middle East issues," said Jarring, who fended off a barrage of questions from newsmen when he landed.

In pursuing what he calls "quiet the Swedish diplomat has avoided public comment on the negotiations. He was at the airport, ringed by security forces, for only nine minutes before climbing into a government limousine for the drive to Jerusalem. To Meet Meir Following lunch at the King David Hotel in the old walled city, Jarring was to meet with Mrs. Meir and Foreign Minister Abba Eban in Mrs. Meir's official residence.

Mrs. Meir told a labor union rally Thursday night "I am looking forward to the most important meeting I have had in a long time." Jarring was accompanied on the flight by Israeli U.N. Ambassador Yosef Tekoah. Political sources in Tel Aviv said the Israeli leaders will stick to their insistance on reaching a peace agreement ensuring secure boundaries before they will agree to give up any captured Arab territory. Political sources said the Israelis would introduce no basic changes in their prescription for solving the crisis.

The prescription includes a demand that secure boundaries be established for Israel in a peace agreement before there is any withdrawal of Israeli troops from territories occupied Medina to Be Defense Witness FT.

"Tliere were babies standing by their mamas and some babies in their mamas' arms," said Gonzales, who is in the restaurant business in Richmond, Calif. Dennis Martin Bunning, a former soldier who said he is self-employed in California, said he saw one group of villagers fall under fire but said he could not specifically identify Hutto as being among the killers.

David Mitchell, St. Francisville, was cleared by- a court-martial board last fall at Ft. Hood, Tex. Moss, Spartanburg, S. who told the military court Thursday that Medina told his troops the attack was "to be a chance to get revenge." He said Medina told them the men, women and children in My Lai "were as much V.C.

(Viet Cong) as the others and they would be killed." Moss saw Hutto, he said, with about four or five other GI's at My Lai on March 16, 1968 round up about 45 villagers, some of them standing in a "praying position." When Army prosecutor Capt. Franklin R. Wurtzel asked Moss what happened to the villagers, he replied, "They were killed." But he said he could not say for sure if Hutto fired his weapon at the victims. Another witness, Leonard R. Gonzales, told the court that, "the way I understand it, it was supposed to be a big enemy, a big fight.

We were supposed to kill anything and everything we saw. All the women and children were supposed to be out of the area, commander of the U.S. Army company involved in the alleged My Lai massacre, has been called as a defense witness in the court-martial of one of his former soldiers.

Hutto today and the defense begin presenting the first of its 30 witnesses. There was no immediate word on when Medina would testify or if he definitely would appear. Medina currently is involved in a hearing at this Third Army headquarters to determine if he should be court-martialed for the incident in which several hundred Vietnamese civilians were killed in a 1968 sweep through My Lai. Hutto, 22, of Tallulah, is charged with intent to commit murder or assault by firing at not less than six of the villagers. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Willis today credited the precaution with saving the life of his daughter Pamela, 22, and possibly the lives of other members of his family. The house burned to the ground early Thursday. Pamela was awakened by an alarm within seconds after the start of the blaze. She alerted 'the rest of the family and they escaped the house, which was destroyed by the fire within five minutes.

Vigorous enforcement of all existing statutes including one which prohibits racial discrimination in the sale or rental of most housing certainly would produce some more integration. argument are political strategists who see nothing but lost votes for Nixon if efforts are made to move Negroes and other minorities into mostly white neighborhoods in which many residents might be antagonistic to other races. Romney, the HUD secretary, has said repeatedly he, too, is opposed to "forced integration." But at a news conference this week he complained that the term was' too imprecise to have any meaning.

C. E. EViiiJS, Jil. Dial 442-5050 E3 13 By Norman Kempster WASHINGTON (UPI) -George Romney's department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is trying to hammer out a strategy that would open more suburbs to black families without violating President Nixon's ban on "forced integration." The President appeared to close the door on government efforts to break down segregation in all-white suburbs when he said in a televised interview this week: "The law does not require, or In my opinion allow, the federal government to have forced integration of the suburbs." But in his very next sentence, Nixon conceded: "There is argument on this point." The key to the whole matter is the meaning of the word "forced." A civil rights bloc mostly in HUD would like to give the word a narrow definition that would permit the government to encourage integration by building publicly-assisted housing for the poor on sites scattered through otherwise affluent suburbs.

Charles Manson's attorney, Irving Kanarek, assured the court he would conclude his final arguments by the end of the day. One other defense attorney was scheduled to give a summation. Deputy District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi said he would speak in rebuttal for two and one-half days next week with the case going to the seven-man, five-woman jury next Thursday or Friday. Kanarek droned through an eighth day of summation Thursday.

The stocky lawyer had managed to shoot a number of holes in the state case, particularly with regard to the prosecution thesis of a conspiracy led by Manson. Bugliosi admits Manson is not said to actually have committed any of the seven slayings. If Manson or any of the three female codefendants are convicted, the same jury will hear the "penalty phase" of the trial deciding on punishment.
