"I t is an articulate letter." said Hayakawa. "Thegram- mar and spelling art: fault- less, and th e use -of 'legal habit' is also interesting."! The • letter is drawn up in th e formal of an indictment an d the text of the leiter uses the repetition of phrases com- mo n to legal documents, al- though the actually wording differs from that found :n a normal true bill. "This type of exp'rcssiyn." said Dr.. Hayakawa. referring lo political ideology in th e It-iler, "is a direct continua- tion of t ; ie same propaganda from the late 1960s." Dr. Hayakawa categorized the letter r.nd the slaying of Dr. Foster ;•.* "the kind of destruction aimed towards so- ciety by the SDS (Students for a IX-mocratic Society) an d th e _ Weathermen." In the letter were references tn details about the pasls of both men.

The Rev. A. S. Jackson of . the Church of All Faiths thus eulogized the slain Oakland School Supt.'Ma rcus A.

Those gathered for the fu- neral service included men an d women from all walks of life an d represented a cross- section of races and religions. It was Dr. Foster's goal when he came here from Phil- adelphia three yeans ago to bring I'm- multiple elements of the community together in a common cause—the education of its children. Today, Ihe community was unified in its homage to the fallen educator. "Thejjpirit of man is th e candle of the Lord.'' the TRev. Mr. Jackson said, quoting Proverbs '211:27, the theme.of his eulogy. "I am helped." he intoned, "bv noting lhai for all who share the Christian hope. Brother Foster touches us to- day, as he did when he was still with us. al the poinl where we most need renewal and confirmation in Ihe work of Christian living. In hi s life he has given mure than the words I bring to you." The closed casket contain- ing Dr. Foster's body lay on a bier at the front of the altar almost seeming to float on ihe masses of floral pieces lhat numbered in the hundreds.

Associated Press correspon- dent Barry Schweid reported from th e Chinese capital lhal such a treaty would assure Israel th e permanent support of its only large ally. Bu t Israel alt>o would be warned that any strike against an Arab neighbor would have to he maintained wilhout U.S. support. Senior officials in Jerusa- lem said the Israeli govern- ment ha s received no word of any such treaty proposal. In th e wake of the signing yesterday of ihe new cease- fire agreement Kissinger ne- gotiated last week.

"A cease-fiie does not mean merely Ihe end of military and bombing attacks."Mrs. M eir added. She was in Lon- don for a meeting of the Socialist Internation al, of which her Labor party is a member. The 75-year-old Israeli lead- er, looking lired but alert, s:iid lhat despite the cease- fire accord with Egypt the situalion in Syria is ''extreme- ly dangerous." Th e Syrians have slaved clear of the lalest truce agreement, although abiding by the U.N. cease-fire of Oct. 2."). They were no l participaling in the lalks at Kilometer 101 on the Sue/.-Cairo highway in Egypt." where the new truce was signed yesterday.' The Egyp tians were anxious to get a corridor opened through the Israeli lines to the lew a of Sue/ and the Egyptian 3rd Army on the easl bank of ih c canal. The Israelis gave lop priori- ly to arranging an exchange of prisoners of war and re- moval of Egypt's blockade on Israeli shipping at the south- ern end of the Red Sea. The cease-fire pact was signed yesterday by Maj. Gen. Aharon Yariv. the -assistant Israeli chief of staff, an d Maj. Gen. M ohammed Abdul Ghani Gamaxy. Ihc second-ranking officer in the Egyptian army. Bay Area Hit By Mild Quake A moderate earlhquake shook buildings from Monte- rey lo the San Francisco Ba y Area at 111:17 a.m. oday, ap- parently as the result of a shift in the San Andreas Fault. No damage w as reported but many people in Sa n Fran- cisco and the Kaslbay called police switchyards fo r infor- mation after feeling the quake. Scismolttcists at the I'mver- sjly of California at Berkeley said the quake had an intensi- ty of A.7 on the Hichter scale. The epicenter was estimat- ed to be about -4 3 miles south of Berkeley near Castle Rock in the Los Galos area. Now Nixon Can'* Find Third Tape WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is unable to find a subpoenaed dictation ma- chine recording made by President Nixon after a key Watergate conversation. White House lawyer .1. Fred Buxhardt testified today in federal court. Buxhardt said he first learned a week a^jo. from White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig .Jr.. that a search ha d failed to turn up th e belt recording, which was being sought b> federal Wat- ergate prosecution. It is the third piece of sub- poenaed Watergate evidence thai Ihe While House now says doesn't exist. Buxhardt told special Wat- ergate prosecutor Archibald Co x last June that President .Nixon ha d dictated his im- pressions of a meeting he had held April 15. 1973 with ousted counsel John W. Dean III. Th e White House later said that th e Nixon-Dean meeting itself went unrecorded be- cause an unattended tape re- corder ran out of tape. Buxhardt said today a search w as made for the belt recording of Nixon's impres- sions, but thai only some writ- ten miles could be found. Dean has testified that in the April 15 meeting the Pres- ident admitted discussing ex- ecutive clemency as p art of Ih e Watergate cover-up, and lhat Nixon said he had only been joking on an earlier oc- casion when he said il would be no problem lo raise ?1 million in hush money. The olher subpoenaed tape recording the Wh ite House says doesn't exist was a June 20. 1972 conversation between Nixon and former Ally. Gen. John M . Mitchell. The While House announce- ment two weeks ago that recordings of the two presi- dential conversations did not exist led lo a federal court hearing on the matter before Judge John .1. Sirica. Today prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste questioned 3ux- hardl closely on Ihe third tape- recording sought by the prose- cutors. "Now as a matter of fact, there is no dictabelt." BenVenistc said. "Isn't thai so?" Buzhardt agreed, saying that onlv some written notes of the meeting have been lo - cated. Buxhardt testified thai Ih e dictabelt recording wasn'l found lo be missing until Nov. 5. exactly one week ago. This wa s in the midst of a furor over the other two phantom recordings. Originally, special prosecu- tor Cox had sought last June 11 to have the While House supply a recording of Ihe April 15 Nixon-Dean meeting. That was more than a month before existence of au- tomatic White House record- in g gear was disclosed public- ly. Co x ha d believed thai the April 15 rneeling was record- ed because Nixon, seeking to prove lo Assl. Ally. Gen. Hen- ry E. Pelersen lhal Dean was seeking immunity from prose- cution, lold Pelersen lhal Dean had adrnitled to such a Continued Back Page. Col. 4 Nixon Agrees To Turn Over Other Tapes WASHINGTON (AP)-Pres- ident Nixon announced today that he will turn over to a federal court additional per- sonal notes, dictation belts an d further reels of White House tapes to clear up "once and for all" doubts about tw o crucial Watergate conversa- tions. The White House announced two weeks ag o that subpoe- naed tapes of the two conver- sations did not exist. In an announcement, Nixon said he has also agreed that a court-approved independent expert "employing the most advanced technological meth- ods can examine all tapes in question for any evidence of alteration to the tapes." In a four-page statement issued from the White House. Nixon said he is taking these steps to "help determine th e substance of all nine conver- sations subpoenaed by the court." Watergate prosecutors had subpoenaed .nine White House Watergate related tape recordings and allied docu- ments. Nixon said "there is no question in my mind that th e open court Bearing, no w being conducted, will demonstrate to th e court's satisfaction the truth of our statements that these conversations were nev- er recorded." Alaska Pipel Is Passed by ine Bill House WASHINGTON (AP) - Th e House passed the Alaska pipe- line bill today and sent it to the Senate. The vote was 3fil to 14. The bill included provisions . giving broadened authority to government regulatory agen- cies. Before approving the bill, th e House rejected a motion to return it K. a con- ference committee to .strip away such provisions. Rny Ash.director of the Office of Management an d Budget, has said he would recommend that the President veto the bill with th e regulato- ry features in it. There ha s IHTII nn comment from th e White House. A controversy involving the' 'Federal Trade Commission was behind the debate over the regulatory provisions. The disputed provisions would al- low the FTC to make surveys of businesses without getting approval of th e Office of Man- agement and budget. Th e motion to recommit the bill to th e conference was rejected. 213 lo 1(52. Most of the support for recommital came from the Republicans Senate action is schedulnl tomorrow. Little oppuMiion is exjHTtcd there, because tin- Senate has already approved the controversial seciions. Th e FTC ha s Ix-cn tryini: since 1971 t« i gH the buduet office t« i approve a plan under which businesses, in proud- in g statistics, would break ihcm di-wn by pr«»ducl lines. He referred to a four-minute talk with former Ally. Gen. John Mitchell on June 20 , 1972 an d a 55-mmule session wilh former While House counsel John W. Dean III on April 15. 1H73. Th e While House has told the court thai these conversa- tions were never recorded—, the Mitchell on e because it was on a phone not hooked into the taping system, an d the Dean one because a recording reel ran out of tape. Th e White House announce-, ments that two of the nine subpoenaed tapes never exist- ed led to a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge John .1. Sirica. At a White House news briefing. Press Secretary Ron- ald L. Ziegler said the Presi- dent used earphones on June 4 when he' spent about 12 hours . listening to a number of tape recordings. Therefore. Ziegler reasoned, a recording of Ihe recordings Ihe President listened to that da y "would no t exist." Thc_ question had been raised in " court. Nixon's announcement to- day marked his first major step in a newly announced effort to tell hi s side of the Watergale affair. He presented his statement at a 9(l-minute breakfast meeting with members of the Republican Coordinating Committee—the first of a se- ries of meetings he plans to. hold this week with all of the Republican members of Con- gress and some Democratic congressmen as well. Nixon said that since com- ing to office he has main- tained a ocrsonal diary file which consists of notes he personally took during meet- ings and of dictation bells on which he recorded recollec- tions. Nixon s;iid he has located a dictation belt he recorded on the evening of June 20 . 1972. which included references to Ih e call with Mitchell and he is going to submit lhat lo the court. The President also said that . he held two meetings with Dean on Monday. April 16 . 1973. the final meetings before Dean left Jh c White House slaff.
