Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1970 Columbus, Nebraska The Telegram 9 Son of Israeli war hero escapes injury MUNICH, Germany (UP1)- An Arab terrorist today hurled a hand grenade into a passenger bus at Munich's Kiem Airport in an apparenl attempt to assassinate the only son of Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, Police Chief Manfred Schreiber said. Assat Dayan, actor son of the Israeli war hero, escaped unhurt in the blast. But another passenger was killed and several others wounded. The Arab bomb-thrower also fought a i jjun battle with police and two suspccled accomplices set off two explo- sives in the airport's transit passenger waiting room.

Police said at least one person was killed and 11 others wounded in the attack. All three Arabs also were injured and were by police. "Everything points to Moshc Dayan's son as the object of an assassination attempt," Schrei- ber said. The attack at Ihe busy Gov. Brewer is candidate BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

Judge frees woman from "contempt" NEW YORK (UPI)--A black woman who works for News- week magazine was allowed to go free of a contempt charge today hy the judge, presiding at a pre-lrial hearing of 13 Black Panthers charged with a bombing conspiracy. Sheila Younge, 2-1.

was freed after she apologized lo Stale Supreme Courl Justice John w. Murtagh for having applauded one of the defendants in court Monday when he told Murlagh: "You should have a white robe on. with a hood on it." Murlagh said his withdrawal of the charge was to avoid any suggestion of "possihilc intimi- dation" of the press. "But," lie added, "Ihe court is concerned, about the conduct of the.se proceedings and does not intend lo countenance further disruptioas." Miss Younge appeared in slate Supreme Court with an attorney for Newsweek who told Murlagh, "Newsweek dec- ply regrets the incident. She was not here on assignment, but on her own initiative." After the lawyer completed a brief statement, Miss Younge read a written statement of her own in an almost inaudible voice.

"I was here for the entire day and it was an emotional and traumatic experience, she said. "As a black woman, I have experienced some of me suffering and anger of the blacks. .1 am deeply sorry if my conduct impeded in any way your attempts to conduct a fair trial." Murtagh last week sentenced a 31-year-old woman, a member of Youth Againsl War and Fascism, to SO days in jail for denouncing the judge in court and calling the case a "frameup." Brewer told a news confer- ence that his record as governor was one of "fulllime, hard work, and I am confident the people of Alabama wanl to carry on the great progress we've slarled. A native of Decalur, the 41-year-old Brawer will cam- paign for the May 5 Democratic primary. Lurleen Wallace ran for governor because her hu sband could not legally succeed himself.

Brewer ran for lieuten- ant governor at the swine time with Wallace's tacil approval. Brewer would have been eligible to run for a term on bis own anyway, but the legislature passed a succession (hat cleared any legal questions. Wallace said Sunday he was "seriously considering" enter- ing the gubernatorial race, and he would probably reach a decision within a "couple of weeks." Two-term former Gov. Jatncs E. "Big Jim" Folsom, Asa "Ace" Carter and Charles Woods already have declared their candidacv.

All 23 persons aboard the British-made Comet jetliner survived Ihe crash. A government spokesman said there was no suggestion of sabotage in Ihe plane crash. Two crewmen were injured and a woman passenger hospilalized for shock. The airport, spokesman said today's attacks began when a "small, thin Arab" suddenly appeared at the door of Ihe bus carrying passengers lo an Israeli Kl Al airliner and a Syrian Arab Airlines plane.

One passenger was killed in Ihe explosion of Ihe hand grenade, Ihe spokesman said, but Ihe others escaped un- harmed. He said the Arab then dodged behind the bus and opened fire on Bavarian Border Police guarding the airport.

With a staff of eight or nine professionals, the mini-agency mainly worked with other federal agencies lo help rural groups get a chance lo participate in Iheir programs.

involvement in the civil war in Laos. CJorc told the Senate Monday (he Nixon administration was "deliberately concealing" esca- lation of the war. He said he would not discuss any specific material in the transcrip "al this time." But he newsmen later: "I would not rule out the possibility of exercising my prerogative as a Senator to discuss the hearing record on the floor." The transcripts of the hear- ings, conducted last year by the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee's special subcommittee nn U.S. commitments overseas, liavc not been released because of a dispute between Senators and the Slate Department over what should be censored. Gore, a member of the committee but not the subcommittee, sat in on some of 'he meetings.

Gore charged on his own authority that "we are engag- ing now in a civil war in Laos and we have chosen sides just as we did earlier in Vietnam." And despite a pledge by 1'rcsUlcnl Nixon to reduce U.S. involvement overseas. Gore said, the United Slates had "increased our involvement and our presence in Laos and Ihe government refuses publicly to admit it." "At the very, very least, it is a blow to public confidence in what Iheir government tells them when Ihe government deliberately conceals deep and escalating involvement in a foreign war," he said. Nixon hus acknowledged pub- licly thai U.S. planes are interdicting the I In Chi Minh trail running through Laos to stop infiltration into North Vietnam, but has denied there arc any combat troops in Laos.
