Chile buying plans from United States in multimillion dollar deal

By WILLIAM F. NICHOLSON AwocteW Presa Writer SANTIAGO, dale (AP) - CWte is quietly buying supersonic Jet fighters and close air support attack planes from Jte United States in a multimillion dollar arms deal, it was learned Sunday. Diplomatic and other sources say the military government is purchasing the aircraft and looking for additional weaponry because of concern that Peru may eventually go to war against Chile. A high source in the Chilean air force confirmed the arms deal but said be is “optimistic *’ about future relations with Peru’s military regime. Peruvian officials have denied publicly that they want to

wage war on Chile, and Chilean officials also have said they maintain cordial relations with their northern neighbor. Nevertheless, there is concern here that there are a number of Marxists in the Peruvian military who are not friendly toward Chile. The Chilean military overthrew the government of Marxist President Salvador Allende 13 months ago. Thousands of Allende supporters went into exile or were rounded up and imprisoned

Although Chile is in a state of siege, foreign sources say the aircraft purchases are being made with an eye to defense and not for use against Chileans. For internal security reasons, they say the bulk of the armed forces are now stationed in and around the capital, leaving border areas undermanned. The sources said the Chileans are paying 360 million for 18 F5E Freedom Fighter jets, the latest model of a fighter espe-

cially produced for developing countries by the Northrop Aviation Co. of Hawthorne, Calif. Delivery of the first units are expected in about two years and in the interim, Chilean air

force pilots are flying training models in the United States. They said Chile has paid an initial down payment of |6 million for the Freedom Fighters, and the balance of the money will be paid over eight years. In addition, Chilean air force

and other sources said 36 A37B close air support attack planes, manufactured by Cessna and used by U.S. pilots in Vietnam, are being purchased. Each aircraft is worth about $300,000. Chilean air force pilots fly a training version for several

years before graduating from the Santiago air force academy and are well acquainted with the A37Bs. The first units are expected to arrive in March. Chilean military officials have had less success in obtaining ground equipment to

replace obsolete tanks and other armor, according to foreign observers here. They are vigorously pushing for sales by the United States of modern M60 tanks and antitank missiles. But no accord has yet been reached.

chipper” and continuing an excellent recovery from breast cancer surgery eight days ago. Dr. William Fouty, chief surgeon at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, gave the description of Mrs. Ford’s condition in a bulletin released by the White House. “She has an excellent appetite and is eating anything she desires,” Dr. Fouty said in describing her condition as excellent. The bulletin said that after a Saturday evening visit by the President and comedian Bob Hope, Mrs. Ford “spent a relaxing evening and watched a movie on television.” Her doctors reported she probably will leave the hospital late this week. One physician said she probably could leave earlier, but would then have to return to the hospital for a series of special tests. Finland has the most lakes of any European country.

By BRIAN SULLIVAN AP Science Writer NEW YORK (AP) - The People’s Republic of China will be able to feed her 800 million people despite food problems elsewhere in the world, a team of Americans has concluded after a month’s visit. “China is as well prepared to meet the coming food-popu-lation problem as any country could be,” said Sterling Wortman, a vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation and chairman of the team. But at the same time, the team found that China's successful efforts to increase basic crop yields has resulted in disruption of her biological science research and education. There are relatively few highly trained scientists and scholars, and most of these are quite elderly, the team said. A new generation of capable researchers and teachers must be trained, it said. “China’s agricultural progress during the balance of this century will depend in large part on her ability to reconstruct her scientific and educational institutions,” the team said. For now, however, the team said it was “tremendously impressed with the high

quality of Chinese farming.” The team of 10 plant researchers and two others included Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, winner of the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in the “Green Revolution,” a term for the widespread adoption of grain varieties leading to higher yields. The plant scientists were the first of nine American groups to go to China under an exchange agreement. The Americans were in China from Aug. 27 to Sept. 23. Dr. Wortman told reporters the group brought back a substantial amount of plant genetic material which has been sent to an American plant research station for study. In recent years, Wortman said, China has focused the work of all her agricultural scientists, technicians, administrators and farmers on increasing the yields of basic food crops and stabilizing the yields at high levels. “Stabilization has been sought through massive widespread land leveling, irrigation and drainage and flood control efforts backed up by rural electrification, road and bridge building, provision of inorganic

President to address Congress

By EDMOND Le BRETON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress will pause this week in its rush toward a campaigning recess to hear President Ford’s recommendations for economic legislation that may keep the lawmakers working late in the year. Ford is scheduled to address Congress Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile both chambers crowded their calendars with major and minor bills to be disposed of before they begin the month-long recess at the close of business Friday. Members were told to expect night sessions throughout the week. One high-priority item is a compromise version of legislation to allow government departments stopgap financing while their regular appropriations are pending. The bill’s course has been complicated by provisions added to cut off military aid to Turkey until there is progress in settling the Cyprus dispute. The compromise version would permit the aid if the President certified Turkey is making good-faith efforts to reach a settlement. Compromises on other major bills are pending. One is a $13.4 billion agriculture appropriation, $192 million under an earlier measure vetoed by former President Richard Nixon as too expensive. Others are bills to tighten regulations on campaign financing, an $11.8 billion program of aid to mass transit, and a broadening of Vietnamera veterans’ educational benefits. The Senate is to complete work on a catch-all appropriation bill including the controversial sums for Nixon’s transition and continuing expenses. The House has voted to cut the amount from the $850,000 recommended by the Ford administration to $200,000 and a Senate committee has recommended a similar cut. The House is scheduled to resume work on plans to revamp the jurisdiction and procedures of committees. The Senate takes up a bill Monday to end national emergencies declared by various presidents as far back as 1933 and to revise laws affected by such emergencies. A committee reported that a declaration of emergency can bring into play as many as 470 different special grants of authority to the executive. N&xt it is to consider a bill to make the term of the FBI director, now indefinite, 10 years.

fertilizers to supplement traditional types and arrangements for marketing products at stable prices,” the team reported.

“The nation seemingly has been remarkably successful, for crops generally looked good wherever the team traveled,” the report said. “It must be re-

membered, however, that the rainy season was under way, and that the team did not visit the driest or more remote regions.”

Watergate jury duty like serving prison term

WASHINGTON (AP) - For the 18 citizens being chosen this week for jury duty, the Watergate cover-up trial may seem no less a prison term than some sentences handed out so far ir Watergate cases. They may be right. Some similarities are there. The 12 jurors and six alternates who emerge after final challenges will be under guard, day and night, until Christmas or longer. They will be separated from family, friends and jobs. They will be required to eat

together, be entertained as a group. Their telephone conversations will be monitored, their television viewing and newspaper reading censored to eliminate Watergate references and they will not be allowed, even among themselves, to talk about the case they eventually will judge. Some of the same conditions apply to most of the 14 individuals who have served or are serving at least some part of their sentences for Watergate and related crimes.

“It is always difficult in a matter of this kind to estimate how long the trial will last,” U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica told prospective jurors last Tuesday. “I would estimate it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of three to four months.” It is estimated that less than two dozen potential jurors have passed the initial screening that is going on behind the sealed and guarded doors of Sirica’s courtroom. The questioning was to go into its fifth day Monday.
