One of them was Khieu Samphan, the 45-year-old Paris- educated economist who directed the rebels' day-to-day war in Cambodia. Sihanouk ordered Khieu Samphan jailed in 1967.

1 am not Communist. I don't understand Communism, but it so happens that the Khmer Rouge still recognizes me as the chief of state of Cambodia."

By United Press International DETROIT (UPI) Despite a staggering series of red ink performances and calls for their resignations, Chrysler Corporation's top executives retained their jobs Tuesday during a stormy three-hour shareholders meeting. Their vote of support, however, wasn't as great as in the past. The 20 directors received 93.4 per cent of the shares voted, compared with 98.4 per cent a year ago. There were repeated calls for the resignations of Chairman Lynn Townsend and President John Hiccardo.

They were charged with heading a management team that had "the poorest, most inadequate performance of any major American company." Jim Casbar, president of United Auto Workers Local 889 and the owner of 326 Chrysler shares, said he feared the company might go the way of the almost forgotten Hudson and Packard auto companies. He said Townsend and Riccardo had to be replaced. "Thousands of retirees and widows have their life savings invested in this corporation," Casbar said. "How long can Chrysler stay in business showing thesehugedefieits?" Despite a record loss in the final quarter of 1974 and an expected $90 million loss in the first three months of 1975, Townsend said the No. 3 automaker is moving ahead with new programs.

Chrysler reported a record $73.5 million loss in the final three months of 1974. Both sides rest cases in Connolly bribery trial WASHINGTON I Both the prosecution and the defense rested their cases Tuesday in the trial of former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally on charges he accepted a $10.000 bribe from a milk producers cooperative. The miorneys ended their cases after Connally, the last of 11 defense witnesses, completed two days of testimony in which he emphatically denied charges he accepted a bribe in 1971 for his help in convincing President Richard M. Nixon to increase federal price support for raw milk.

The jury of five men and seven women presumably will begin deliberations in the case late Wednesday. While the defendant was still on the witness stand, prosecutor Frank M. Tuerkheimer charged during cross-examination that Connally repeatedly gave Watergate investigators wrong information during their initial investigation of the so- called milk fund scandal. Tuerkheimer focused much of his attention on Connally's grand jury i in November, 1973, in which he failed to mention a meeting he had on Oct. 26 --only 19 days earlier with milk producers lobbyist Jake Jacobeson about the alleged $10,000 payoff.

Connally mentioned only thai he had mel with Jacobsen on Oct. 29 about an unrelated Texas bank charter, according to the grand jury transcripts which Teurkheimer read. Jacobsen has contended he that made the payoff to Connally in 1971 and that Connally returned the $10,000. Tuerkheimer also challenged testimony which Connally gave to the grand jury in April, 1974, aboul his Oct. 26 meeting with Jacobsen, who had by then been subpoeaned by Watergate investigators.

Worst slump in firm's VW to lay off 25,000 WOI.FSBURG, Germany I Volkswagen. Europe's largest automobile producer, announced Tuesday it will dismiss 25.000 workers by the end of next year because of the worst slump in its President Toni Schmuecker told a news conference the automaker's supervisory board decided on the measure in the ivake of the largest Josses in Ihe company's history, estimated at $200 million last" year. During 1971 Volkswagen had to cut down production by 20 per cent, with six of its West German plants at 60 per cent capacity. Last year the company already dismissed 20,000 workers, leaving it with 133,000 employes. Schmuecker said the new reduction will be done through voluntary acceptance of severance and early retirement, "and only in cases where it is necessary will direct dismissals be instituted." The move came one day after Britons receive jolt from new tax hike LONDON (UPI I -The Labor government jolted Britons Tuesday with a crisis budget that pushed up the income tax again and raised taxes on everything from booze to bingo Ford conservative Republicans WASHINGTON I President Ford struck at the political exclusi vness of conservative elements in the Republican Parly Tuesday night and said he intends to base his election campaign next year on a broad-based GOP philosophy.

"Our effort to broaden the base of our party does not mean that we must abandon traditional Republican principles --far from it," Ford said in a speech prepared for the annual GOP congressional campaign fund-raising dinner. "It means, instead, that we musl clarify and emphasize those principles, so that all persons of like political interest can join in support of Ihe candidates of the Republican Parly," he said. as an answer to runaway inflation. Announcing this to a packed Parliament, Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healey said the tax hikes, totab'ng more than billion, coupled with the same amount in slashed government spending, are unavoidable to pull Britain out of its inflation-fueled economic crisis. "The budget is a hard one for all of us in Britain." Healey said.

"But it is dictated by the harsh reality of the world we live in." The budget called for total government spending of about billion this year. Tax hikes announced by Healey included: --A 2 per cent boost on all persona! income taxes, driving basic rate up to 35 per cent. --Huge tax increases on drink, including an additional a boltle on whisky and gin, 57 cents a bottle on wine, and 5 cents a pint on beer. That meanl a bottle of whisky now will cost $8,04 and beer 60 cents a pint. --A 16.8 cents a pack tax hike on cigarettes, pushing up the price of an average pack of 20 to $1.12.

Volkswagen, the No.l foreign car importer in the United States, raised its American prices 8 per cent. Auto industry sources in Detroit said VW and other foreign car makers, who also raised their prices in the United Stales market to compensate for the drop in the value of the dollar, are thus giving up a price advantage that helped boost their American sales to near record levels. Schmuecker said the heaviest staff cut will fall on the VW headquarters factory in VVolfs- burg, which will fire 5,900 of its 50,000 workers. The other plants affected will be Hannover with 3,900 to be dismissed, Braunschweig 850, Kassel, 2,300, Ingolstadt 1,700, Neckarsulm 4,700, 1,500, and Salzgitter 3,000. The Belgian VW plant in Brussels will dismiss 1,350 workers and operate one shift only.

Portugal nationalizes industries LISBON (UPI) The government Tuesday night nationalized a I's basic industries and introduced a system of price controls in an effort to bring the nation's labor movement under control. Prime Minister Vasco Goncalves said all transportation lines, electricity companies and firms involved in the petroleum and chemical industries would now be completely controlled by the government.

NEW YORK (UPI) The stock market reached another new 1975 high Tuesday.

FBI, police hot on trail of art thief BOSTON (UPI) FBI and Boston police are in "close pursuit of the person or persons" responsible for the gun-point theft of a $1.5 million Rembrandt portrait, Deputy Police Superintendent Leroy Chase said Tuesday.

"I would say before the day is over I would anticipate something concrete. I can't say when," Chase said. Detectives received a tip early Tuesday that sent them scurrying in pursuit of the three armed men who stole the 20-pound portrait from the walls of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Monday, he said. "I am waiting to hear from my detectives who are in close pursuit of the person or persons responsible for this robbery," Chase said. EL TORO 1210 N.
