"The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown. He must dominate in his turn." -Albert Camus "The Rebel" JSampa Support Peppy VOL. 70- NO. 70- 115 Circulation Certified By ABC Audit Serving The Top 0' Texas 69 Years THE PAMPA DAILY NEWS MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1975 114 Plages Today) Daily Sunday Kidnaner NEW YORK (UPI) Eight'days of pressure apparently were too much for Dominick Byrne. Wracked by conscience, he led officers to a dimly-lit Brooklyn apartment where they freed kidnaped whisky heir Samuel Bronfman II and captured the second of his alleged abductors.

"It was over in two seconds," said Det. Thomas Cerbone, who broke into the one- bedroom apartment Sunday with police and FBI agents. Officers grabbed a surprised Mel Patrick Lynch, 37, who was guarding young Bronfman. Samuel unshaven sat bound and blindfolded on a couch against the wall. "Thank God," he said as officers removed adhesive tape from his eyes.

Unharmed, he was taken by limousine to his father's Fifth Avenue apartment. The FBI said the $2.3 million ransom paid by the youth's father, Edgar Bronfman, chairman of the board of Seagram's was recovered in the home of an elderly friend of Byrne's. Byrne, 53, the owner of a limousine service, and Lynch, a city fireman, were charged with extortion by mail. The FBI said they believed the two men acted alone. Officers said the elderly friend was an innocent victim of the scheme.

If convicted, the two could face terms of up to $5,000 in fines and 20 years in prison. Federal agents indicated they may be charged with kidnaping later. Young Bronfman and his father left the city Sunday afternoon for seclusion and rest. The family said there would be no statements. Ransom But a spokesman added, "Sam is in really fine shape.

His spirits are great." For Cerbone, and other officers, it was the end of a frustraUng week of searching and tense negotiations. Samuel, 21, was abducted early last Saturday after leaving his father's tree- shrouded estate in Yorktown Heights, N. Y. His car, with the keys still in tire ignition, was found in the driveway of his divorced mother's home in Purhcase, N.Y. Cerbone said Byrne, who gave officers the key to the apartment where the youth was found, had "pangs of conscience" about the affair.

"He's a deeply religious man. He must have said 'Jesus Christ' and apologized to me five times for saying it," the detective said. Byrne, apparently alarmed by Angry Israelis Charge Forced Peace Agreement By United Press International Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin appeared before an angry session of the Israeli parliament today defended the proposed interim peace agreement with Egypt against charges by right-wing opponents that the United States was forcing it down Israel's throat. Rabin cautioned that the agreement was not yet complete and could still fail. Although he said negotiators were still at a delicate state, sentiment appeared to be building up among rightwingers against Secretary of State Henry A.

Kissinger. These right-wing Likud party members demanded that Rabin resign. Forty demonstrators gathered in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv today, 10 of them carrying rabbits. They also carried signs reading "Kissinger go Home" and "Rabin, You're a Rabbit." Other demonstrators gathered outside the Knesset (parliament) building in Jerusalem with anti- Kissinger and anti-Rabin signs.

right-wing groups called for major demonstrations when Kissinger arrives here Thursday and police were taking unusually firm security precautions to protect the Secretary of State, ringing David Hotel in Jerusalem with extra troops. Before appearing in parlia-, ment Rabin told a caucus of is Labor party's ruling alignment that the United States had made "unprecedented" promises to, Israel. These presumably were the use of a U.S. civilian force to help man early warning systems in the Demilitarized Zone of the Sinai desert and nearly $3 billion in aid. While the Likud was demanding Rabin's resignation, some 50 women gathered outside the Knesset building in Jerusalem and demonstrated against the government's policies.

They carried signs reading "No Munich here," and "We are not dogs to jump through Kissinger's hoop." A few of the women paraded about the plaza wearing dog collars and leashes They were led by a. woman carrying an effigy of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Kissinger, after talks with President Ford in Vail, said he was optimistic about the resumption of his Middle East shuttle mission. He arrives in Israel Thursday and Egyptian reports said he would meet President Anwar Sadat in Alexandria on Friday.

In an address punctuated by jeers and catcalls Rabin assured his critics there was no danger to Israel's security. "Israel will achieve many things with this agreement but I cannot go into details," Rabin said in Jerusalem. "There is no danger for Israeli security whatsoever. "We will still be 250 kilometers (160 miles) west of the 1957 borders, there will be a very wide U.N. buffer zone and Egypt will be only 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of the Suez Canal, "he said.

The Israeli cabinet Sunday endorsed Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's new peace mission to work out such an agreement, but warned of a "number of important subjects still blocking final acceptance. Rabin told a caucus of his Labor party's ruling alignment the agreement would result in "a chance for an improvement in relations between Israel and the Arab countries." He said the accord would also "give us much understanding with the United States, and I'm talking about tfiings that are unprecedented in our relationship. "We still have to overcome a few subjects still unsettled, and that's why Kissinger is coming, "he said. Government sources earlier said Israel is pressing intensive contacts with Washington to settle the final differenes with Egypt before Kissingers return to the region later this week. Israeli'national radio reported from Washington today that Egypt would agree not to go to war for the term of the proposed three-year agreement in return for Israeli territorial withdrawals in the Sinai.

Israeli sources said the agreement would include a U.S. financial commitment of up to $3 billion to make up for the return of the Abu Rodeis oil field to Egypt. The sources said the text will be titled "Agreement Between Egypt and Israel" and will include 45 separate sections covering more than 40 pages. They said Egypt wanted the pact to be called "interim agreement," but Israel insisted that the word "interim" be deleted. A wave of anti-Kissinger feeling appeared to be building up in Israel over the right-wing charges.

Right-wing groups planned a series of demonstrations for the period of the Kissinger visit and police sources said unprecedented security measures would be taken during his visit. In Jerusalem, police officers erected crowd barriers today around the Knesset, other government buildings and the King David Hotel where Kissinger is expected to stay. The police commander at Ben- Gurion International Airport was called back from an overseas trip to supervise the precautions. The newspaper Al Hamish- mar said the opposition was seeking to create "an atmosphere of internal crisis on the eve of Dr. Kissinger's arrival." "The brutal campaign being prepared by them one of which will stress Dr.

Kissingers Jewishness necessitates a massive counter-campaign on the part of the more moderate majority," the newspaper said. It warned against "nationalist hysteria and irresponsible acts which may cause great harm to the state." The Israeli parliamentary session was one of the angriest sessions in memory and jeers and catcalls frequently interrupted Rabin's half-hour presentation. "Kissinger's arrival does not mean that there is a finished pact at hand, and it does not give final approval to an agreement which is already achieved," Rabin said. "We will sign an interim agreement only if we will be convinced that it will be to the betterment of Israel's needs," Rabin said. "The anticipated visit in Israel and Egypt is accepted because of our clear will to reach an interim agreement with benefits for Israel and Egypt as a step in the progress towards peace."

Predicts Bloodbath in Bangladesh NEW DELHI, India (UPI)Diplomatic sources say divisions in the Bangladesh armed forces over a three-day-old coup could lead to a bloodbath in the impoverished nation. Bangladesh Radio said ute armed forces commanders supported the new regime, but dipkmiaUc sources in New Delhi reported differences in the military. The sources said Ute Weather 'line forecast today calls for fair skies and warm temperatures.

The higits will be in the low SCks, and tike lows in the differences could lead to widescale fighting and bloodshed in Bangladesh, one of the world's most overpopulated and underfed nations. Indian press reports said Friday's coup, which took the life of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, touched off clashes that killed an estimated 200 persons. Diplomatic sources said Uta army officers who overthrew the sheikh, leader of Bangladesh since independence four years ago, were "young turks" within aimed forces. The young officers promptly installed Khondakkitr Mush- Usque Ahmed, Mujib's conservative commerce minister, as the new president. Diplomats in Hong Kong described the coup as a diplomatic victory for Pakistan in its conrontation with India on the Asian subcontinent.

Pakistan was the first country to recognize the new government and reports from Rawalpindi said Pakistanis appeared jubilant over UK coup. The diplomats said the new Bangladesh leader is a Moslem with little love for Hindu India. The new government promptly renamed the country the Islamic republic of Bangladesh. "We cannot remain unaffected by these political developments in a neighboring country," the Indian govern- ment said in its first official reaction to the coup. Diplomatic observers in Hong Kong said the coup may cause trouble for minorities in Bangladesh and India.

Any persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh could bring retaliation against Moslems in India. Even before the coup, many Bengalis had come to resent what they saw as Indian domination of their new nation. Indians were accused of smuggling goods between the two nations arid exploititig Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a predominantly Moslem netjuri of 75 million persons jammed into an area roughly the site of Wiscuttin. increasing FBI surveillance in the area near the Lynch apartment, allegedly sent a young girl to a neighborhood police station with a note saying he knew where the Bronfman youth was being held.

Cerbone and his partner, James Schry, went to his house at midnight. Byrne appeared relieved as he told them about Bronfman's location. But apparently authoriUes already were closing in on the pair. J. Wallace La Prade, assistant director of the FBI in charge of the New York office, said agents decided to move in on the abductors after they failed to release the youth despite the payment of the ransom early Saturday.

Authorities already had traced the license plate of the car used for the "pickup" to Lynch. The New York Daily News, quoting "highly informed sources," said Bronfman was ordered to bring the money Saturday morning and wait in an underpass beneath a subway line in an outlying New York borough. The money was in 49 packets of bills in denominations of $10, $20, $50 and $100. The ransom was half the $4.6 million originally demanded by the kidnapers. Bronfman, accompanied by a female FBI agent, drove to the location, the News said.

About 3 a.m., a rust-colored, 1971 Oldsmobile Toronado pulled up and someone ordered Bronfman to put the money into the trunk, the News said. As the car sped away, the agent took its license number. Neighbors of the two suspects described them as frugal, hardworking, deeplyl religious men with strong feelings the strife in their native Ireland. Both men were born there and spoke in al gentle brogue; they were naturalized! citizens, the FBI said Despite their alleged involvement in thel kidnaping, both men kept up their routines, friends said A Fire Department spokesman saidl Lynch reported for duty Thursday Saturday and worked full shifts.

If he wanted tol buy the Bronfman estate, he probablyj could have," the fireman said. Today was the first day of school, for the almost 250 teachers in the Pampa Independent School District, that is.

Hoffa DETROIT (UPI) After 18 days, the tension and fear became too much for Josephine Hoffa. The ailing wife of missing Teamsters leader James Hoffa collapsed Sunday and was hospitalized. Mrs. Hoffa, devoted to the former Teamsters president who disappeared July 30, broke down in her suburban Lake Orion, home "from the strain and the stress She is exhausted, physically and emotionally," her son, James P. Hoffa, 34.

said. The scores of federal, state and city police searching for Hoffa were just as frustrated, if infinitely less emotionally involved. Michigan State Police Director George Halverson said, "We don't even know what crime we are investigating. All we know is that we have got a missing person. "But I think there will be a break.

They've got some excellent investigators on this case and I think there will be a break eventually." For Josephine Hoffa, suffering from a heart ailment and facing cataract surgery when her condition permits it, the breaking point came Sunday morning while prayers were being said for her husband's safety in nearby St. Joseph's Roman Catholic parish church. She had met her tough, Typhoon Phyllis Kills in Japan scrappy husband on a picket line in the 30s, lived with him through countless battles on his way to the top of the Teamsters, endured the 58 months he spent in prison'on mail fraud and jury tampering charges, and was backing him in his fight, before his disappearance, to regain control of the union from Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimmons. Hoffa, 62, has not been seen since shortly after he left Lake Orion, 40 miles from Detroit, for what he thought was a date with reputed Detroit Mafia don Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone. East Coast Teamsters boss Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, and Detroit labor consultant Leonard Schultz.

All thredenied making such an appointment. Mrs. Hoffa was taken to Northwest Grace Hospital on I outskirts of Detroit. The hospital denied she wa there, but the FBI, her son her doctor. George confirmed she was.

Mogill called her conditio today "stable," but put "absolute block" on telephone calls or visits from anyor outside her immediate family. "It's remarkable she hasn't; folded before," Mogill "She is a remarkable woman." She had "folded" before Aug. 4 when she fainted under the strain of her husband's absence, and six years ago when she fainted in court while Hoffa was fighting to overturn conviction. Halverson said, "There is nothing new. People are 'What is the dominant There is none."
