And so the crisis eased. Nixon said the outlook for Middle East peace now is the best it has been in 20 years. "We not only avoided a confrontation, but we moved a great step forward toward real peace in the Middle East," Nixon said He said his own foreign policy of detente, his record of firmness in past international crises, and his personal acquaintance with Brezhnev all were factors in avoiding the unilateral Soviet intervention the United States opposed. Nixon said his personal makeup is such that "when I have to face an international crisis, I have what it takes." He said what happened Wednesday and Thursday was indeed a 3 Named As TSTI Regents Gov.

Nixon said it was the most difficult the United States has faced since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. In that situation, the late President John F. Kennedy imposed a naval quarantine to block the shipment of Soviet missiles to Cuba "This was no blown-up crisis," Nixon said.

Nixon said his message to Brezhnev was firm "and left little to the imagination of how we would react if the Soviet Union intervened unilaterally to enforce the cease-fire with troops. Nixon said his long-term foreign policy was significant in defusing the crisis, with a U.N. resolution which sent to the Middle East a peacekeeping force without big-power involvement. "Without detente, we might have had a major confrontation in the Nixon said. Now, with the immediate crisis past, Nixon said he believes that all parties will try to reach agreement with a more sober attitude.

He said all nations involved know they cannot afford another war. "The tragedy must not occur again," he said "The cease-fire is holding, Nixon told a nationally televised news conference. "There have been some violations but generally speaking, it can be said that it is holding at this Noting that the United Nations peacekeeping force will not include troops from any major power, Nixon said the United States will send observers to the Middle East if requested by the secretary general of the United Nations. And we have reason to expect that we will receive such a request," he said, Recounting events involved in the crisis that flared, then subsided Thursday, Nixon said the United States had received information indicating the Soviet Union planned to send a very substantial military force into the Middle East. This was the development that led to a worldwide alert of U.S.

forces, an alert now being relaxed Nixon said the alert was ordered to indicate to the Soviet Union that we could not accept any unilateral act on their part" to move military forces into the theater of conflict between Israel and the Arab states. The United States opposed the use of big-power forces in the peacekeeping force, and Nixon repeated that this policy is designed to avoid any possible confrontation between them in the Middle East. The President said "it is vitally important to the peace of the world that this potential trouble not become an area in which the major powers come together in confrontation." Nixon said the goal now is not just a temporary truce, but a peace settlement among parties in the Middle East. He said the outlook for such a settlement now "is the best that it has been in 20 vears." Nixon said that he had sent an "urgent message" to Soviet leader Leonid I Brezhnev and they agreed to have both their nations back a resolution subsequently approved in the U.N. Security Council to establish an emergency force to keep the peace between Israel and her Arab opponents.

Nixon said the two nations also agreed that they would try to expedite talks between the belligerents that Washington and Moscow would use their influence without actually imposing a settlement. Earlier, State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey suggested that the I nited States might be agreeable to some representation. McCloskey made it clear that the United States is not too happy with either Soviet or American participation in even the unarmed observer group but had no choice after the fait accompli presented by Brezhnev. Both the American and Soviet contingents should be kept "as small as possible," McCloskey said.

There are now 215 U.N. observers, including eight Americans (seven officers and one enlisted man) but no Russian observers in the Middle East. This group, to be reinforced now, is unarmed and separate from the armed peace-keeping force which is supposed to keep Israeli and Arab forces apart once the cease-fire lines have been established. The armed force, called the U.N. Emergency Force (UNEF) which.

U.S. officials believe, should be at least 5,000 men strong, is to be composed "of personnel drawn from states members ot the United Nations except the permanent members of the Security Council," the council resolved on Thursday. McCloskey said the Soviet move to send observers was anticipated. Wacoan Daylight Saving After Stabbing Coming to End PRESIDENTIAL MOODS Two moods are reflected in expressions of President Nixon during his press conference in Washington Friday night. (UPI Telephoto) Soviet Team Sent To Monitor Truce By TTie Associated Press The Soviet Union has sent "representatives" reportedly noncombatant observers to help monitor the Middle East cease-fire.

The United States said it had anticipated the move and had no objections in principle. Washington greeted the disclosure from Leonid I. nev with calm, even though Egyptian and Israeli forces were still fighting in one corner of the Middle East. In fact, the United States reluctantly agreed to go along with Brezhnev's suggestion that it also contribute elements to the strengthening of U.N. truce observer teams in the Middle East.

The United States has eight men serving as truce observers now and has received a U.N. request to send more. The State Department spokesman, Robert J. McCloskey, told newsmen in Washington that the United Nixon Lambasts Media WASHINGTON AP) President Nixon said Friday night that television coverage of the Watergate controversy has been the "most outrageous, vicious and distorted" he has seen in 27 years of public life. "When people are pounded night after night with that kind of frantic, hysterical reporting, it naturally shakes their confidence," he said.

In a 39-minute news conference which grew more and more tumultuous until it ended with a reporter shouting for recognition at Nixon, the President bluntly and on several occasions criticized the news media particularly television news and commentary. The President said he did not want to leave the impression that he dislikes or does not respect news reporters. jab at the news media began when he was asked what goes through his mind when he hears from persons who have supported him in the past that he should now resign or be impeached. "Well, I'm glad we don't take a vote in this he said. The President said it was unpleasant to have his honesty and stability questioned in public, And he said it was not pleasant to hear what he called untrue allegations on television.

Alluding to past fights with the news media, Nixon said. "Because I have been through so much, that may be one of the reasons I have what it takes." In some of the strongest language he has ever used about the reporting of his administration, Nixon said: "I have never seen such outrageous, vicious, distorted reporting in 27 years of public life. not blaming anybody for that," he said.

For Details Call 756-5409 (Adv) Democrats Rap Plan For New Prosecutor WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon's plan to name a new special Watergate prosecutor was broadly denounced Friday night by Democratic congressmen, who charged there is no assurance the prosecutor will have a free hand. "The people need to be assured that he will not use his powers to block the truth," said Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine. "He did not give us that assurance But Nixon fared better on his handling of the Middle East crisis this week, with no congressmen criticizing it in early comment. A number of Democrats and well as Republicans said the action was necessary. Many of the congressional Democrats also accused the President of attacking the press during his news conference to divert attention from Watergate-related allegations against him.

Vice Gerald corned the decision to name another prosecutor and suggested former Atty, Gen. Elliot L. Richardson as a possible choice. Ford, the House Republican leader, also said is my impression the President would be willing to cooperate" in releasing White House documents to he new prosecutor. Sen.

Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim is agreeable to U.S. and Soviet representation. Brezhnev said the Soviet personnel were sent in response to a call by Egypt for U.S. and Soviet troops to help secure the cease-fire. The United States rejected the Egyptian request after President Anwar Sadat made it last Wednesday.

Since the Soviet Union apparently is sending only a group of truce observers, it appears Sadat's request also was rejected by the Kremlin. Brezhnevs announcement came in a long speech in which he accused Israel of "adventurism" and violations of the cease-fire. But in speaking about world affairs in general, he said the danger of nuclear war has eased and that the chances for world peace are better. While Brezhnev did not describe the "representatives," diplomats in the Soviet capital with close Kremlin connections said they understood that about 100 men in civilian clothes were dispatched to Egypt and that their mission was to observe. None was sent to the Syrian sector, which is calm, the informants added.

McCloskey said the Soviet "representatives" were not combat personnel and their dispatch to the Middle East does not represent the kind of unilateral action that Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger deplored on Thursday, when the United States put key military bases around the world on precautionary alert. McCloskey stressed that the United States and the Soviet Union are barred from assigning troops to an international peacekeeping force that was established through a U.N. Security Council resolution on Thursday. The emergency force is being organized, with advance units flying to Cairo from the U.N.
