The article said, however, that this did not mean Egypt would start shooting on March 7 when the current cease-fire expires. Instead it will retain the initiative to pick the "time, place and method of fighting."

Miss Krenwinkel admitted she wrote the words "death to pigs," "helter skelter" and "rise" in blood on the walls and refrigerator in the home. "Did you think the LaBiancas were pigs?" "No." "Why did you write those particular words?" "It was just a thought that came to me." Miss Krenwinkel said she also "guessed" that she carved the word "war" on his chest and left the fork in his stomach.

Defense lawyer Paul Fitzgerald first led her through an account of the slayings. Miss Krenwinkel said she was "dropping acid" (taking LSD) both nights and that she just remembered mostly "action and reaction." 5s I i 1 I "iltiinifc liilm LOS ANGELES (UPI) "Have you any remorse for these murders?" "I don't even know what the word means." "Do you have any sorrow?" "No." "You still feel it was right?" "Uh, huh." A half smile played over the lips of dark-haired Patricia Krenwinkel as she answered Deputy District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi Thursday after "confessing" she killed coffee heiress Abigail Folger and Mrs. Rosemary LaBianca. Speaking in a toneless, matter-of-fact voice before the jury at the penalty phase of the murder trial, the 23-year-old "Manson family" member told the jury she also left a barbecue fork stuck in the stomach of wealthy grocer Leno LaBianca Despite a warning by Superior Court Judge Charles H. Older that her testimony might lead the jury to give her the death sentence, Miss Krenwinkel told in detail of her part in the murders but said Charles Manson had "nothing whatsoever" to do with them.

BUGLIOSI'S questions came like shots in the hushed courtroom. "When you were stabbing Abigail Folger, you knew you were killing her, didn't you? L.et tell the truth now, Katie." "Yes, I knew I was stabbing her." "Why were you stabbing her?" "Well, I know she was fighting with me." "You were just killing her in self defense?" "You said that, I didn't." "Why did you kill her?" "It was just there to do." "You believe life should be lived to the fullest. Is that Katie?" "Yes." "Did it ever enter your mind that Abigail Folger wanted to live as much as you did?"

The James Beam Distilling Co.

protested, however, that financing such favors as a swanky Saigon villa for the men who bought liquor for post exchanges and service clubs was just good business no worse than what the competition was up to. "We hoped our products would be purchased because of this," explained Beam vice president Mel Peterson to a Senate investigations subcommittee Thursday. "I have to get my whisky in the marketplace to create a demand for it" Peterson, alternatively defensive and apologetic, reluctantly detailed to persistent senators how Beam the skills of mysterious businessman William J. Crum to escalate bourbon sales in Vietnam through relationships with military purchasing agents. SUBCOMMITTEE investigators linked Beam and specifically Peterson to Crum when the hearings into operation of post exchanges, service clubs and similar facilities opened Wednesday.

Earlier testimony pictured Crum now reportedly somewhere in the South Pacific on his yacht as a peddler of goods ranging from liquor to slot machines who made millions from military service clubs in Asia by trading bribes and kickbacks for purchase orders. Peterson, flushed and perspiring profusely, acknowledged close contact with Crum during Crum's four-year hitch as Beam's Vietnam agent But while he said top Beam officials were kept fully briefed on Crum's activities, he said he had "no knowledge" kickbacks were part of Crum's operations. He first denied then admitted as claims to the contrary were tossed at him that he endorsed Crum's acquiring and furnishing a swank villa for the four top PX officials in Vietnam.

(AP Wirephoto) Recovery Risks want your land, not your peace, and you can do what you like about then Egypt will have to draw the inescapable conclusion that there is no alternative to fighting," said a long article in the semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram.

The article was signed by the paper's in fluential editor, Mohammed that Ford is hard put to have its sincerity accepted. A white man could argue, for him, that it's time to give a Negro representation in City government and the whites had better select a moderate Negro oi lespewiauie aianumg wnen he is offered, Otherwise, the moderate, Negroes all will be driven 1 desperately into union with the radicals and the whole Negro population then will combine with the white radicals and liberals to win domination. A white man can say that sort of thing on Ford's behalf, but he can't say it boldly himself. It would sound like a threat to white folks, and like Uncle Tomism to his own people. Ford must hesitate to do normal things that white politicians find most effective in selling themselves to the voters door-to-door handshaking, for instance.

Not in the white residential sections. At most homes he would get a respectable response. At some, his very appearance at the front door especially in the evening could become an "incident." Some people are jittery. Even a Kiwanian selling light bulbs for charity was greeted by a man with a pistol at one house recently. So, Ford has a problem getting himself and his position before the white voters he must win.

About all he can depend on is whispering of a message among those silent voters: "We've been saying we'd elect a 'good Negro' if one ever ran. Now here's our chance to prove we aren't hypocrites." Governor Limousine Is Bought By The Associated Press James Shackelford of Thom-asville, says he paid $1,507 for the battered old Cadillac limousine used by three Florida governors "more or less for speculation." Owner of a heavy equipment dealership, Shackelford was high bidder among a dozen persons who offered from $150 on up for the 1964 car. He will take delivery soon. "I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Probably put it up for sale.

It's real comfortable and I have a big family and we travel a lot, so I might use it," said Shackelford, who has five in his family. He said the car is "worth a lot more" than $1,507 because it was used by three governors, Haydon Burns, Claude Kirk and Reubin Asked if he Would use the two flags one a state flag and the other a governor's office flag kirk installed on the front fenders, Shackelford said, "if they don't take them away."

OtU from NATIONAL WtATH SlUVlCI, HOAA, US. Oot. ot Commerce Governor Trades Shirts, Poems government reported Thursday tnat Egypt has indicated it will sign a peace treaty if Israel returns all of the Sinai Desert. Israel has demanded a binding peace agreement as prelude to any withdrawal from territory it occupied in the 1967 Middle East war. OBSERVERS IN Jerusalem noted that even though the reported Cairo offer included thp standard ripmanrt fnr rnm.

plete Israeli withdrawal, by speaking of a peace treaty or agreement, it went further than Egypt's previous expressions of willingness to reach a settlement." The Israeli sources reported that Egypt also held out the prospect that it would allow Israeli ships to use the Suez Canal if there was peace. The sources said Egypt also said it would not interfere with Israeli shipping in the Strait of Tiran, between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. The gulf gives access to Israel's southern port, Eilat, and an Egyptian threat to blockade it was one of the causes of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The sources said Israel would not agree to total withdrawal but that Premier Golda Meir's government would urge direct talks with Cairo in an attempt to haggle out some compromise Israeli pullback. They said an Israeli answer to the Egyptian proposal might be drafted at the next Cabinet session on Sunday.

Egypt's latest expression of its views was delivered Wednesday to Gunnar V. Jarring, the U.N. mediator for the Middle East who is acting as go-between in the indirect peace talks Israel, Egypt and Jordan are holding at U.N. headquarters in New York. The Egyptian note replied to a statement Jarring gave the three nations suggesting some principles for a peace agreement and asking their views.

Jarring called for Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula, a U.N. military force along the Strait of Tiran to protect Israeli shipping, declarations of intent from the three nations and their views on a peace settlement Israel has not replied to Jarring, but various leading officials have rejected his proposals. A U.N. spokesman in New York said Secretary-General Thant was preparing a report for the Security Council on Israeli construction of new housing arou Extended Debate Not Ended WASHINGTON (UPI) Despite significant switches among. Republicans, Senate reformers remain starkly short of the votes needed to crush a southern-led filibuster in defense of extended debate.

The first attempt to end the filibuster, which both sides consigned to defeat in advance, was beaten 48 to 37 Thursday, nine votes short of the two-thirds needed. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield scheduled a second effort for Tuesday but even reform strategists conceded there will not be enough converts by that time. They are shooting for victory on the third or fourth try. Since Jan. 25 the filibuster has blocked the Senate from considering a change in the 54-year old rule which governs limitation on debate.

The proposed revision would allow three-fifths of the senators voting to cut off debate. The present requirement is two-thirds. Under the present rule, in effect Thursday's vote, the reformers fell nine votes short. Ironically, they missed by three votes of achieving the three- fifths margin they are seeking, The defeat came despite the conversion of four Republican senators who in 1969 voted against cutting off the filibuster on the same issue. They were Sens.

Marlow W. Cook of Kentucky, Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma, Winston L. Prouty of Vermont and Ted Stevens Of Alaska. Despite encouragement from President Nixon for a rules change, Senate Republicans split almost down the middle on the vote. Of the 39 GOP members voting, 21 voted for cloture and 18 against.

Among Democrats, 27 voted for cloture and 19, almost all southerners and small-state senators, voted against. From Page 1 consider moderation to be his political complexion. Ford knows where some of this support is. Men have confided to him that they are for him. They're willing to put money into his campaign but they mustn't ever be identified with it, which means he can't accept it legally and report his donations.

He is neither baffled nor bitter about this. Most of those people are in business, and frankly fear that known support of a Negro against a white man would lose them customers, or at least cause unpleasantness in the shop. It's probably an exaggerated fear, but it's a real fear. One prominent merchant told me the othe day, "I'm going to vote for him, and so is my wife. But don't tell it.

It'll ruin me." It probably wouldn't, but he thinks it would or he's unwilling to take the chance with his livelihood. So Ford's known supporters, identified in his ads and published list of campaign fund donors, all appear to be other Negroes or white citizens so generally known as ultra-liberals that their names may be a liability with the moderate whites he needs to win. Ford probably is more moderate than some of these supporters, but he can't alienate them and lose the base of his support He taiKs convincingly about his desire to be a City Commissioner for all the people, not just the Negroes.

Considers New Power Plant TAMPA (AP) Tampa Electric Co. says it is initiating land studies for a possible nuclear power plant in south Hillsborough County to meet increasing utility needs. William C. Mac Innes, TECO chairman, testified Thursday under cross examination by the Florida Public Service Commission during a hearing on its request for a $14 million rate hike. Mac Innes said design engineers have been ordered to make studies for both nuclear and fossil plants in the lower bay section at Beacon Key.

The utility's capacity, said Mac Innes, is 1.8 million kilowatts at peak load and by 1972 normal demand will exceed 1.4 million. A power plant at Big Bend is scheduled to go into service within the next couple years.

Economy Viewed Slump Carries WASHINGTON (UPI) Dr Arthur F. Burns, chairman the Federal Reserve system said today the nation is moving toward a rapid recovery froir its economic slump. But he saic the very policies which art ending the recession carry grave risk of releasing fresh forces of inflation.

"But unless we find ways to curb the advance of costs and prices, policies that stimulate aggregate demand run the grave risk of releasing fresh forces of inflation," he said. Fingers Salem, where doctors from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine worked feverishly to solve the riddle of the disease.

Dr. Carolyn Quntly made the correct diagnosis. "He'd say things like, Daddy, I don't think I'll ever go home. Or, what's really wrong with me? I didn't tell him. He thought when he went home, his mama would get him a new bicycle, and maybe even take him to Disneyland," winces Coulter.

After Keith died, Coulter permitted an autopsy because "I don't want nobody else to suffer if there's any way to learn how to treat it." Doctors, hospitals, blood transfusions and other treatment have been costly. Coulter makes $80 a week as a forklift operator at Carolina Mills in Maiden and "a little on the side," although he has lost some work to be with his son. "I must say this about the Coulter," says Dr. Trivette. "This family has been really fantastic the care, the patience, the strength and over a long number of Years.

They said a $1,065 billion economy is necessary to; reach their goals of a 4.5 per cent unemployment rate and a 4 per cent inflationary rate by the end of the year. But Burns refused to pledge, in his written testimony, that the FED would shoot for a 6 or 7 per cent increase in the monetary supply.

(AP) Two girls were shot to death Thursday night and four persons were wounded when two men fired into a home, climaxing what police termed a "domestic argument." Two young brothers were arrested about two hours after the shootings and held on preliminary charges of murder. They were identified as Matthew, 20, and Teft Ross, 19, of South Bend. Police Capt. Robert Seals said Gwen Huggins, 17, and her sister, Emma, 15, were killed when two men came to the Hug-gins home, pushed open the front door and began firing into the living room. The dead girls' mother, Nevada Huggins, 56, and another daughter, Louis, 20, were among the wounded.

Two-year-old twins Blair and Tina Huggins escaped injury. Capt. Seals said the investigation, although incomplete, indicated the shootings "stemmed from a domestic argument and apparently one of the Ross brothers had been married to a Huggins girl."

HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI)-Gov. Milton S. Shapp traded shirts and poems with a disgruntled taxpayer Thursday.

Shapp sent back the shirt, along with one of his own shirts and his own verse. At a news conference Thursday, Shapp said Vertacnik, like many other Pennsylvanians, would pay. no state income taxes at all because of exemptions and deductions. Furthermore, Shapp said, his package includes exemptions which should lighten Vertac-nik's tax burden $48 per year: Vertacnik wrote (in part "Governor Shapp, I want you to know, Either me or your tax will have to go.
