York firms from paying any money to Mr Liddy until the case is decided Hie firms have 10 days to tell the government how much money they have in Mr accounts If the firms are holding the Watergate money the government could seek a court order for the debt to be satisfied If the government does not recover the money from the firms it has olljer options Prosecutors could file a motion for civil contempt which could result in a judge ordering Mr Liddy to pay or go to prison until the debt is satisfied Hie government also could ask for criminal contempt which also could lead to a prison

professor said a peaceful clem onstration was planned today by a group calling itself "Hie Other Manhattan Project for the Nuclear Freeze Coni Jo Bates a member of the group said persons planned to participate in creative theater singing of songs and displaying of placards from 0 am until Mr Reagan delivers the lecture scheduled at 11 am And not all was sweetness and light on the eve of the visit On Wednesday afternoon a news cameraman and a pilot were detained for about 20 minutes when their helicopter landed in an area secured for Mr visit Warren Parker a cameraman for W1BW TV of Topeka and pilot Jim Austin flew to Manhattan to shoot aerial views of the campus But when they landed at the old State football stadium where the president is scheduled to land they were met by five unsmiling Secret Service agents and a campus guard The Secret Service men had their hands on their guns but no weapons were drawn Mr Parker said He said one of the agents demanded least eight forms of proving that he worked for WIBW TV He said he and the pilot were detained on the field about 20 minutes We were threatened with arrest They talked about taking away the pi lot's license and impounding our Mr Parker said After their story was checked out Mr Parker said an agent told them to back in your aircraft leave and A spokesman for the Secret Service in Kansas City said he was unaware of the incident Efforts to contact agents in Manhattan were unsuccessful In addition there were unconfirmed reports that another sniping incident had occurred Wednesday on Interstate 70 near Topeka Two similar incidents in the last two weeks have concerned some officials about possible safety problems on that road However K-State students were mairtaining an upbeat front in antici pation of Mr visit

State old football stadium in preparation for President visit to K-State today The same type of helicopter will fly the presidential party between Topeka and the campus involving at least implicit recognition of Israel A delegation source said the sum mit agreed to dispatch groups of Arab leaders to Washington and other world capitals to explain the Arab conditions to the governments concerned A Lebanese source said the delegation that would go to meet Mr Reagan would include PLO chief Yasser Arafat but this was not immediately confirmed by other sources A visit to Washington by Mr Arafat could prove an embarrassment for Mr Reagan who has consistently rejected any form of recognition of the PLO in line with the longstanding policy of the Israeli government Hie Arab leaders continued their meeting late into the night and were reported to be discussing the other main issues on the agenda such as the Iran-Iraq war and an Arab strategy toward Israel in tne wake of the Israe li invasion of Lebanon The summit was expected to end early this ARABS Continued from Page A-l day summit calling it a of the Arab cause Hie Arab plan is certain to be rejected by Israel because it calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state with part of Jerusalem as its capital and for Israeli evacuation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip Israel has repeatedly said that it will never allow the creation of an independent Palestinian state in those areas and that it intends to keep Jeru salem as its undivided capital Hie reported terms also fall short of the explicit Arab recognition of Israel that Mr Reagan called for in his speech on the Middle East last week referring only to the of rather than to Israel itself Thus the plan is not likely to please Washington altogether either Nevertheless observers at the summit saw it as a first important step toward an Arab readiness to begin negotiations for a final peace settlement ception in Topeka and $l(XLa plate luncheon to follow

the office that commands the friendly reception would respond well to any president Republican Democrat liberal conservative he said Mr Reagan of course could have picked even more friendly surroundings for a speech Riley County of which Manhattan is the chief city gave Mr Reagan its heart and votes in the 1900 primary and general election but not as heavily as the nation or even Kansas as a whole But even in a farm-state town of moderately conservative leanings the literal ruffles and flourishes that attend the office of president are a magnetic force Along the shaded walks of the
