Red Terms For POW Releases JULIANE KOEPCKE Miraculous survival LIMA (UPI) A teen-age German girl, the only known survivor of 92 persons aboard a Peruvian airliner which crashed in the Amazon jungles Christmas Eve, was reported recovering from -injuries and shock today in a jungle clearing hospital at Yarinacocha. Nurse Amada de Pina at the hospital said Juliane Margarette Koepcke, was lucid and calm despite a broken collarbone, multiple bruises, cuts and mosquito bites and extreme fatigue. The Peruvian Air Force reported from Pucallpa at 9:52 a.m. that the wreckage of the aircraft had been sighted from the air by a DC3 pilot. A helicopter was dispatched to the scene.

Miss Koepcke was found walking along a river by two Indian hunters Sunday, given crude first aid, transferred to the nearest town, Toumavista, on Monday afternoon and then flown to Pucallpa. Nurse De Pina, who was assigned to Miss 'Koepcke, said she had questioned her briefly for a report to authorities in Lima. She said that Miss Koepcke told her that the first knowledge she had of anything wrong on the flight was an outbreak of fire on the starboard side of the plane. Then, she said, the plane started bucking and the next thing she knew she was in the air in the cabin. She lost' consciousness, Miss Koepcke said, and when she came to found herself on the deck of the passenger compartment but still strapped into her seat.

She unstrapped herself and found she had an injured foot as well as painful cuts and bruises all over her body.

Kissinger suggested the possibility of secretly channeling arms aid to Pakistan during the Indo-Pekistani war despite A cutoff of such aid, according to secret documents released today by columnist Jack Anderson. The discussion of aid was contained in one of three memos stamped secret-sensitive outlining meetings early last month of the Washington Special Action Group, a poup of high' Administration and military headed by Kissinger.

Anderson has been carrying a series of columns based on documents leaked to him, and he turned over copies of three of them to some other reporters. The Administration is investigating who was responsible for the leaks. Kissinger was quoted in the record taken at one of the policy meetings, on Dec; 3 at the White House early in the fighting, as saying: I am getting hell every half hour from the President that we are not being tough enough, on India. He has called me again. He does not believe we are carrying out his wishes; He wants to tilt in favor of Pakistan.

The documents as released by Anderson part of dozens of documents he said he has and Im still getting on which he plans to base additional columns did not say what kind of aid was envisioned to Pakistan. But Anderson said today on NBC-TVs Today show that fighter planes were among the things being considered in the scheme to sneak aid to the beleaguered Pakistanis. A cut off of military aid was ordered early last year. The discussion- of aid to Pakistan came during a meeting four days later, on Dec. 7, as.

Muskie of Maine, a formal candidate to the Democratic presidential-, nomination, said today he will enter the first eight presidential primaries and as many of the others as my time and resources allow? I will seek this nomination in presidential primaries and' the convention states," Muskie said in a statement released at a news conference in Washington. The first eight presidential primaries are in New Hampshire, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania Ohio. MUskie went on nationwide television, last night to announce a candidacy which came as no surprise. At todays news conference, Muskie said bis staff will, insist that local Democratic organizations comply with new party reforms designed to get more young people, more blacks and more women into the election process. In both primary and nonprimary states, my campaign representatives will insist upon compliance with the guidelines of the Democratic party in the nominating process as well as at the con-, vention, Muskie said.

Asked how the financing of his campaip is going, Muskie said, I hope we end the year in the black. He said the campaip, to date, has cost somewhere between $1 million and $1.2 million. But he said much more will have to be collected to complete campaips in the primary elections. In formally announcing his campaip to the nomination, Muskie summoned Americans to a new beginning.

He added that he might go to court in an attempt to reinstate the contracts. The board scheduled an afternoon meeting to decide whether to recommend, or even to attempt to dictate, an acceptable figure to replace the 12 per cent raise. Woodcock said the contracts contain clauses opening them for automatic renegotiation upon rejection by the board. The boards general guideline is that raises in new contracts may not exceed 5.5 per cent a year except in special cases when the top limit is 7 per cent. However, the board approved raises exceeding those guidlines in the only two contracts on which it had pre-, viously ruled.

Those pacts covered coal miners and rail signalmen. The board explained their acceptance on the basis that they were jus-tifed catch-up agreements dictated by raises in other contracts reached before. the freeze. Announcement of the rejection was made informally, first by board sources and then some of the board members themselves. The boards executive director held up formal announcement for hours, prompting the resignation of the boards chief public relations spokesman, Herbert Wurth.

The two unions involved, the UAW and the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists, have, scheduled a strategy session of more than 300 union negotiators to Saturday in St. Louis.

MARIA KOEPCKE Mother also on plane 1 By RAYMOND LAWRENCE Foreign News Analyst North Vietnam, in a reply to President Nixon, today boosted its price for the release of U.S. prisoners. In hardening its terms, Hanoi declared the United States must abandon its policy of Vietnamization to obtain the prisoners release. This demand always has been implicit in the Communist proposals for a final solution but this is the first time it has been linked with the prisoner issue, which is one of the main American objectives in Vietnam.

Under present conditions, an end to Vietnamization, which is largely designed to prepare South Vietnamese forces to defend their country, would probably mean the downfall of President Nguyen Van Thieu and his government in Saigon. President Nixon repeatedly has made Vietnamization an indispensable part of his withdrawal plans. Hie official Radio Hanoi, in a Vietnamese language broadcast, said the only way for President Nixon to get the U.S. prisoners of war back to their families is to follow two basic points: 1. Completely end the war of aggression in Vietnam and withdraw all of its troops from Vietnam.

2. Completely end the Vietnamization policy of continuing the war. According to the broadcast, the Vietnamization policy is a plot to withdraw U.S. troops but still continue the war of American aggression by puppet forces under U.S. direction and with U.S.

support and supplies. Once again we directly tell See Back Page, Col. 1 SAN CLEMENTE (AP) -President Nixon gave a green light today to development, of a $5.5 billion space shuttle that will carry four men aloft like a rocket and, after an orbital flight of up to 30 days, return to earth like an airplane. Nixon conferred at the Western White House with James Fletcher, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and studied a model of the strange vehicle which is expected to be ready for use before 1980. The craft looks something like a modern jet airplane.

It would go aloft riding piggyback on huge booster rockets and disposable fuel tanks. After completing an orbital mission, only the airplane section would remain in the sky and would fly back to earth, making a conventional airport landing. The orbiting space shuttle could be used many, many times. NASA estimates it would cost less than $10 million for each shuttle flight far less than for any other spacecraft with an equivalent payload. The White House said: One of the primary reasons for development of the shuttle is to open the use of space for the practical benefit of mankind.

It will better enable man to survey the earths resources, monitor and predict weather, improve' worldwide communications and perhaps even harness the suns energy as a source of pollution-free energy. The shuttle decision came with the end of Apollo moon missions almost in sight; Lockheed Aircraft Corporation Board Chairman Daniel J. Haughton today hailed president Nixons decision to authorize the space Shuttle as great news for the entire nation. The-shuttle is the next logical and essential step in a meaningful space program, Haughton said. It will allow the United States to maintain the leadership role in space established with the highly successful Apollo program.

Classroom space equivalent to these 10 buildings would be incorjporated into a hew building, according to the task force proposal. The main building ait Stonehurst originally was built to house 260 students.

He can petition at any time to have, the contract canceled.

To approve cancellation a city council or board of supervisors must hold a public hear- Fourth of a series ing to determine if it is in the public interest to do so, and if the cancellation is coflsistent with the purpose of the Williamson Act. Public interest is subject to varied interpretations. It may be in the public interest to see that its housing and shopping needs are met, as well as to see it has some open space. And cancellations may be done in piecemeal fashion. If the owner of a 500-acre parcel under contract wants to develop 50 acres of it he can petition to unfreeze that portion.

Once a property is unfrozen, it automatically reverts to the regular fair market assessment formula. The Williamscn Act contains penalty clauses against property owners for cancellations, amounting to a maximum 12.5 cent of the lands fair market value at the time of cancellation. But it also states that cities or counties may waive any part or all of the penalty fees. There have been no significant, cancellation requests so -far throughout the state, primarily because of the relative short time the Williamson Act has beet in existence and because the bulk of the lands under contract are not subject to development. Alameda County recently approved cancellation of a 600-acre parcel near Altamont Pass east of Livermore when the property owner changed his mind about preserving his land.

There was no penalty imposed, mainly because the property was not under contract long enough to get a tax writeoff.

7, Col. ByDONDEMAIN i Tribune Staff Writer The Williamson Act contains many features weighted in favor of the landowner in addition to big tax write-offs for the' obvious reasons that if it didnt landowners wouldnt volunteer to freeze their property to existing use. Contracts are up for automatic renewal every year, and either the property owner or a city or county can serve notice unilaterally to let the contract elapse after a 10-year freeze. When this occurs, county as-sessors; are expected to gradually increase assessments each year on the property until by the end of the 10th year, when the contract expires, the land is once again assessed at full market value. A property owner can serve notice without restrictions.

But if a city or county does the same the landowner may formally protest the nonrenewal notice and demand a public hearing. The provision means also that a city or county can get Till OVER A IBVIEAF Nicaragua Quakes MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) This capital and cities on Nicaraguas Pacific coast were shaken by earth tremors this morning for the fourth day.
