Meir Says Full Settlement Made With Patience, Honesty

By ARTHUR L_ GA VS HON Associated Press Writer

LONDON (AP) — Israeli Premier Golda Meir listed some of her country’s peace aims today and declared that a full settlement be achieved

SkylabCrew Ends Training

with patience and honest nego-

tiation.

But in her first news conference since the signing of a new Israel i-Egyptian truce she warned that the situation in Syria is “extremely dan-

gerous."

CAPE CANAVERAL Fla (AP^ — With the green light on for a launch Thursday, the Skylab 3 astronauts today complete their training for a record 85day space mission. Skylab program director William C. Schneider gave the goahead Sunday for the liftoff after assessing how crews were doing in replacing eight defective stabilizer fins on the Saturn 1B rocket. He said the work was progressing smoothly and no additional launch postponement was necessary. The astronauts — Gerald P. Carr, William R. Pogue and Edward G. Gibson — planned to spend several hours today in

spaceship simulators at Houston’s Johnson Space Center. That will conclude their training, and they’ll fly here to prepare for launch at 9:36 a.m. EST Thursday. “The schedule, while tight, is still attainable unless some unforeseen event occurs,” Schneider told newsmen. The launch had been scheduled last Saturday but was postponed five days when hairline cracks were found on all eight of the nine-foot-long tail fins. Experts theorize the cracks were caused by salt air corrosion. They said the rocket might have broken up if it had been flown in that condition.

She attributed the danger in part to the discovery of several Israeli war prisoners who, she claimed, had been blindfolded, bound and shot in the back. She demanded that Syria and Egypt immediately conform with the Geneva convention on war captives. Looking tired but quick to smile or turn a question back, the 75-year-old leader stressed the need for Egypt to lift quickly its blockade of the Bab elMandeb Strait. Israel says Egyptian gunboats have been blocking the passage of Israelibound tankers and Israeli ships at the entrance to the Red Sea. “It is inconceivable that this should be excluded from any genuine cease-fire agreement,” she said. “A cease-fire does not mean merely the end of artillery and bombing attacks.” The six-point truce signed Sunday dia not specififically mention the blockade. The question was said to be one of the reasons Mrs. Meir hesitated a day before accepting the U.S.-sponsored agreement. She flew into London Saturday for a one-day conference of the Socialist International, of which the Israeli Labor party is a member. Her central aim was to counter Arab efforts to isolate Israel politically in Europe, Africa and elsewhere. She arranged to meet with Prime Minister Edward Heath before flying home later today. But she declined to give any sort of indication of what she means to tell Heath, whose policies she has assailed as antiIsraeli.

Execution Style Murders Have Information On More Killings

STOCKTON Calif. (AP> — Two men in custody here on charges of 11 execution-style murders have information about at least six other killings, police say. Two unidentified bodies were found Sunday in the California Sierra Mountains. The search for bodies followed the zig-zag path of William Steelman, 28, of Lodi, Calif., and Douglas Gretzler, 22, of New York City, who were captured last Thursday in Sacramento, Calif.

They were charged with nine counts of murder each in the mass execution slayings of nine persons last Tuesday in the home of Victor, Calif., food market owner Walter Parkin. They already were wanted in Arizona, charged with killing a young man and woman. Since their arrest, authorities say they have discovered five more murder victims in California and Arizona areas visited over the past month by Steelman and Gretzler. Police said those bodies were found

Anne Douglas Thinks Women Should Be Involved

By EVE SHARBUTT AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Anne Douglas became a movie producer by accident but thinks it is a very good job for a woman. The slender blonde had been involved in television production and in public relations for films in France, and is familiar with the great French and English women directors. It was through her husband, actor Kirk Douglas, that she became involved in her first production, “Scalawag.” “Kirk was doing another picture at the time he was making arrangements for his own production company. I found myself doing the work he would normally have done and reporting to him in the evening. One day he said, ‘You’re doing the work. How would you like to be the producer?’ ” Mrs. Douglas said yes, but admits she would not have applied for the job. It just seemed a natural thing to do, and the movie became a family affair. Her husband was director and star. One son was still photographer and the other worked in the production office. Even the family dog, Shaft, was pressed into service when an animal actor proved more ferocious than necessary in his role. “Shaft is not very ferocious,” Mrs. Douglas added, “but he is well-trained and did his part well. He was a perfect actor, but his voice wasn’t terrible enough for his part. We had to dub in a more ferocious tone.” The very feminine producer says her job was not really very glamorous, especially on location in Yugoslavia. Every morning, she got up at 6:30, woke her husband and one son and cooked breakfast on a two-burner hot plate. When the first two family members were fed and on their way, she had a cup of coffee, got the younger son up and off to the set and started washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Then she did the laundry, because it took too long when sent to the commercial laundry in the nearest city. She washed socks and underwear. Then the telephone would start ringing for producer-type decisions. She says she was called “the bathrobe producer” because it was usually 11 a.m. before she had a chance to dress and get to the set. “We had problems with horses. There weren’t enough and more had to be obtained. Then we needed vultures. Wild ones wouldn’t do what we wanted. We finally found trained

ones in Germany and they were shipped, but when they arrived, their trainer was lost. No one could find him. Who knows about feeding vultures? So we had to get the specialist from the zoo in Belgrade,” she recalled. Each day’s film was sent to Italy for processing. Communications between the two countries was irregular, to say the least, so Mrs. Douglas set up a film runner system to take the ferry boat each day and let them know how the film looked. The runner also brought English newspapers for the English crew and Italian newspapers for the Italian crew and the Paris Herald-Tribune. Her own subscription arrived as much as a week late. “It was hot and dusty and there was nothing for us but the film. We selected the out-of-the-way location because of its scenic variety. Economically it was a good decision,” she adds, proud of coming in under her projected budget. Mrs. Douglas is planning another production venture. The Douglas company will produce “Posse” in New Mexico and Arizona next year, with Kirk Douglas as the star. “That’D be child’s play after shooting abroad.” she said. Interviewed at her hotel during a promotion tour, Mrs. Douglas wore jeans and a striped shirt and twisted her tinted sunglasses as she spoke. She believes more wives should be involved in their husbands’ work, interested in his daily activities. “We have always been able to discuss everything. We don’t cut off discussions of work at the end of the day. When that happens, it is not very good for a marriage. “I was home much of the time when the children were small, but I have always been active in things such as fund raising for hospitals, for theater groups. The Woman’s Guild of Cedars-Sinai Hospital still calls me Annie, Get Your Gun’ when they have a particularly difficult job that needs doing. “Now I am very much involved in our new music center in Los Angeles, trying to get the star system of Hollywood involved in theater there,” she said. An art collector and fashionpace setter, Mrs. Douglas says a star is often the play, or the film. “If you fail, the blame is laid to the star. If you succeed, the

star shares success with the director and the producer. On the

whole,” she added, “I think I’d rather be the producer.”

PROUD PRODUCER—Anne Douglas, right, poses with the star and director from her film “Scalawag,” who also happens to be her husband, Kirk Douglas. Key Conversation Nixon Tape Not Found

WASHINGTON (AP> — The White House is unable to find a subpoenaed dictation machine recording made by President Nixon after a key Watergate conversation, White House lawyer J. Fred Buzhardt testified today. Disclosure in federal court that the recording doesn’t exist was made a few minutes before Nixon announced he will turn over to Judge John J. Sirica notes, dictation belts and other Watergate-related White House tapes. Nixon said he wants to clear up “once and for all” doubts about two other crucial Watergate conversations the White House says went unrecorded. Buzhardt said he first learned a week ago, from White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig Jr., that a search had failed to turn up the belt recording, which was being sought by federal Watergate prosecutors. It is the third piece of subpoenaed Watergate evidence that the White House now says doesn’t exist. Buzhardt told special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox last June that President Nixon had dictated his impressions of a meeting he had held April 15, 1973 with ousted counsel John W. Dean HI. The White House says the Nixon-Dean meeting itself went unrecorded because an unattended tape recorder ran out of tape. Buzhardt said a search was made for the belt recording of

Nixon’s impressions, but that only some written notes could be found. Dean has tc-stified that in the April 15 meeting the President admitted discussion executive clemency as par. of the Watergate cover-up, and that Nixon said he had only been joking on an earlier occasion when he said it would be no problem to raise SI million in hush money. The other subpoenaed tape recording the White House savs doesn’t exist was a June 2), 1972 conversation between Nixon and former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell.

PEKING (AP). — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger met with Mao Tse-tung for two hours Monday night, but details of their talks were not disclosed. It was the third time Kissinger and the Communist party chairman met. The first time was in February 1972 during President Nixon’s visit to China..The second was in February of this year. Kissinger met earlier with Premier Chou En-lai for the third time in three days. Their session lasted three hours amid much speculation, but no concrete information about their talks.

with the help of information the two men gave in interviews with detectives. Arizona police said they had been told by California authorities that Steelman and Gretzler had information about another murder in their state. Steelman and Gretzler are charged in 11 killings, the nine in Victor and the murders of Robert Robbins, 19, and Katherine Mestites, 21, who were shot in the head. Their bound bodies were found Oct. 28 in a house trailer near Mesa, Ariz. In the Victor killings, seven adults were all bound and shot in the head. Two children were also shot in the head but had not been bound. The two bodies found Sunday were discovered in a remote canyon outside the town of Oakdale. Detectives said the two victims had been dead about a month and one had been strangled and one had a slit throat. In connection with that search, police said they had been looking for two missing men whose van was taken from Arizona to California a month ago by Steelman and Gretzler. The missing men were identified as Michael Adshade and Ken Unrein, both 22, of Phoenix. Last Friday, the day after Steelman and Gretzler were arrested, authorities who questioned the two discovered the bodies of Michael Sandberg, 28, and his wife, Patricia, 32, in their Tucson apartment. On Saturday, the body of an unidentified person was found in a sleeping bag on an Arizona desert by another team of detectives working on information police said was gathered from an interview with Steelman and Gretzler. Authorities said they were looking for another body in the desert, but they did not give specifics. Arizona police said they had been told by California authorities that Steelman and Gretzler had information about the death of Gilbert Sierra, 19, of Tucson, whose body was found last week on the desert near Phoenix.
