Oil Blackmail Will Continue ALGIERS (AP) Arab kings and presidents decided Wednesday to use every means at their disposal, including the oil squeeze, to win their confrontation with Israel. The leaders said there will never be peace in the Middle East until two basic conditions are met "Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Arab territory, especially Jerusalem, and restoration of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people." Israel has consistently rejected both demands as they are understood by the Arabs. The demands were included in a statement ending the three day summit, the first such parley since the end of the October Middle East war. The summit was meant to tighten Arab ranks for a peace confer POs Use Powder to Move Mail SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) Scientists have invented a powder that will help to automatically face and cancel 25, 000 letters per hour in Canada's automated post office program, General Electric Co.

announced Thursday. The organic phospher powder, which glows green under ultraviolet light, is being mixed into a transparent ink to print invisible bands along the vertical edges of Canadian postage stamps, the company said. When envelopes bearing the stamps are passed through special equipment in eight post offices across Canada, the green glow from the phosphor will trigger mach that automatically fac cancel letters, GE said. Approval of the postal automation program came after trial runs by Canada Post Office in Ottawa to insure that the phosphor tags would be nontoxic and effective, the company said. The new phosphor tag recognition system was reported to be in nationwide use in Canada.

The phosphor is produced by the Chemical Products Section oF GE's Lamp Business Division in Cleveland, Ohio. ence with Israel tentatively scheduled for Dec. 18 in Geneva. But Iraq and Libya boycotted the meeting because they oppose peace with Israel, and King Hussein of Jordan only sent envoys because he wanted to avoid face to face disagreement with the Palestinian guerrilla leaders. The leaders kept their resolutions secret but gave maximum publicity to their resolve to continue holding back oil from countries they consider unfriendly and to open the taps for pro Arab nations.

The Arab oil producing nations have cut back production 25 30 per cent, raising fears of a fuel crisis this winter in the United States, Japan and Europe. Moreover, they have slapped a total embargo on the United States and Holland because of policies considered particularly pro Israeli. In a move designed to put addition pressure on those who support Israel, they decided to cut production at least 5 per cent more each month. But the oil sheiks have granted a one month suspension of this measure for Japan, the Philippines and the Common Market countries, except Holland, in recog nition for pro Arab statements. 4 It should be clear that there is a direct link between exemption from export cutbacks and any country's support for our just cause," said Arab League Secretary General Mahmoud Riad.

"Every time countries act in our favor, there will be Aiab decisions to reciprocate." Despite the Arab penchant for quarrels, the only known dispute at the summit centered on the fight over who represents the Palestinian people. The summit reaffirmed that the Palestine Liberation Organization headed by guerriKj chieftain Yasir Arafat "is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people," Riad said. Coming at a uVe when the guerrillas and Hussein are contesting for recognition as rulers of the Palestinians, the endorsement of Arafat appeared to be a blow to the king.

Plan Would Buy Medicare Drugs WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate voted 77 to 11 Wednesday for a proposal to pay under Medicare a substantial part of the cost of prescription drugs needed by old persons with chronic illnesses. The provision, sponsored by Sen.

Abraham Ribicoff, was added as an amendment to a bill increasing Social Security benefits 11 per cent in two steps and making many changes in welfare programs. The Senate began debate on the measure in the afternoon but is not expected to finish with it until Thursday. Medicare, in which more than 20 million elderly persons are enrolled, now covers only drugs needed in a hospital or nursing home. The Ribicoff provision would bring in drugs needed to be taken on a regular basis at home to combat such ailments as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and arthritis. The patient would have to pay the first $1 of each prescription.

Medicare would take care of the rest. The cost of the provision is estimated at $700 million a year. To finance the new drug coverage, the Social Security tax would be raised from the present rate of 5.85 per cent paid each by the worker and employer to 5.90 per cent. This would mean a tax increase of $5 for a person earning $10,000 a year. Bankrupt RRs To Get Funds WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate Commerce Committee decided tentatively Wednesday to provide $235 million to keep bankrupt Northeastern railroads running while the government draws up plans for a new railroad system for the East and Midwest.

Rochester N.Y. (AP) An 11 year old girl who disappeared while walking home from school was found dead in a roadside ditch Wednesday, She had been raped and stranded. Medical examiners who performed an autopsy on Michelle Maenza of Rochester said death was caused by asphyxiation due to strangulation. The physicians also said the youngster had several bruises on her neck and upper arms and elsewhere on her body.

Detective Lt. Anthony Fanti grossi, of the Rochester police department, said Michelle's slaying was "an exact duplicate" of the murder of Wanda Walkowicz, 11, of Rochester, last April. "The man responsible for Wanda is responsible for this," he said. He also said there was a strong possibility that Michelle's slayer also killed Carmen Colon, 10, of Rochester. Her body was found in November 1971 on the outskirts of Rochester.

Michelle's body was discovered lying face down between the pavement and a wooded area near Walworth, about 15 miles east of her home, by Fire Chief Eugene Van Dewalle of that Wayne County hamlet. He used his two way radio to summon police. Police speculated she had been dead for several hours and might have been pushed from a moving vehicle. The road is not heavily traveled and few houses are in the area. Fantigrossi said Michelle's body was fully clothed, except for the silver trimmed, three quarter length coat she wore.

It was missing. Michelle, whose parents Carolyn and Christopher are separated, disappeared Monday shortly after leaving classes at School 33 on the city's east side. Relatives described her as quiet with few friends. Police said they had one clue to check out. They said a woman reported seeing a frightened girl fitting Michelle's description riding in a dark green pick up truck on Browncrof Boulevard late Monday.

Business Index Increases WASHINGTON (AP) The government's index of business indicators rose slightly in October after registering the sharpest monthly decline in at least four years during September. The Commerce Department said the index increased by two tenths of 1 per cent in October, a major improvement from the decline of 1.6 per cent in September.

The index of leading indicators is regarded as a key measure of future economic performance, but it appeared unlikely that any solid conclusions could be drawn from the index's erratic behavior the past two months.
