. Schlesinger says Arabs take risk with embargo WASHINGTON (AP)--Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger says Arab nations risk increasing U.S. public demand for force against them if they carry their oil embargo too far. "I think that that is a risk," Schlesinger said.

However, the defense chief said he does not believe it will come to that because the oil-producing states have already indicated an easing of pressure by increasing the flow to some Europeant countries and Japan. "We should recognize the independent powers of sovereign states should not be used in such a way as would cripple the larger mass of the indus- trialized world," Schlesinger said in-an interview recorded for broad- cast on public television stations tonight.

"That is running too high a risk and it is a source of danger, I think, not only from our standpoint, but from the standpoint of the oil-producing nations." At the same time, Schlesinger said, "The alleviation of'pressure" represented by a 10 per cent increase in oil output announced last month "is an indication that the oil-producing states recognize their common interests with the industrialized world."

Although the Arabs did not-reopen the oil tap to the United States, Schlesinger is knownito feel that responsible leaders in the Arab pro- ducing states already recognize the embargo against this country has reached the point of diminishing returns from a political standpoint. Associates say he is optimistic the embargo will be relaxed or ended, although he is uncertain how soon.

In one way, Schlesinger viewed the Middle East crisis as benefiting the U.S. military establishment by restoring some of the standing it lost with the American public as a result of the Vietnam War. "The entire evolution of the Middle Eastern conflict his been in the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE SCHLESINGER direction of making people appreciate more the reasons for which the United .predicts relax in embargo States maintains a defense establishment," he said.

Mills claims ignorance in campaign controversy

KENSETT, Ark. (AP)--Representative Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., said yesterday he knew nothing about the use of corporate funds to pay rent for two Washington, D.C., apartments used in the draft movement that preceded the congressman's 1972 presidential campaign. Dr. George Mehren, general manager of Associated Milk Producers, Inc., (AMPI) has said funds from the cooperative were used for the apartments by company employes \to help the campaign.

Mills said that the employees were involved in "the so-called Draft Mills Headquarters" in Washington before he became a candidate. He said he could not identify the employes I"because I never knew who was in the headquarters." "I don't know who pays the rent of the people who work for me," Mills said. "I knew nothing about it. I didn't know a thing in the world, You have to understand what was going on. I wasn't a candidate at that time. I didn't approve of it; I didn't disapprove of it, I knew nothing about it."

Mehren also has said he was told by a former employe of Valentine and Associates, a Minneapolis public relations firm, that ANPI's payments to the firm "went to the primary campaign of Mr. Hubert Humphrey and Mr. Mills may have benefited, not to his knowledge." Mills said he had not benefited from such payments. On another matter, Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said he had not decided whether President Nixon should be impeached. Previously, Mills had said he opposed impeachment because if such a pro- REP.

Page 6--NATIONAL NEWS Guantanamo Gazette Monday, January 7, 1974 Poll shows public's mistrust of President Nixon

WASHINGTON (AP)--Four out of five persons interviewed believe President Nixon is responsible for one or more of the serious charges against him, according to a poll by the Roper Organization. At the same time, the poll shows a slim majority of 45 to 44 per cent against impeachment with 11 per cent undecided. Only 11 per cent of those opposed to impeachment said they thought the charges were untrue while 24 per cent said they thought the process would be too destructive for the country.

"The President would seem to have a thin hold indeed on his office in the court of public opinion," analysts for the Roper Organization, Inc., a public opinion and marketing research firm, concluded. The poll, taken in early November, was conducted for 51 subscribers, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which has launched a formal campaign to impeach the President.

The Poll was conducted among a sample of 2,020 persons who were presented a list of 13 charges or criticisms against the President and asked to "go down the list and call off any that you personally are concerned about both because you think it is a serious offense and because you think he may be responsible for it." Seventy-nine per cent cited at least one charge while 13 per cent responded, "none of them," and 8 per cent said, "don't know," according to the poll.

Fifty-six per cent said they were concerned with the President's with- holding of evidence from the Senate Watergate Committee and the special prosecutor's office, and 53 per cent said they thought Nixon was involved in "covering up the Watergate breakin." Only 19 per cent cited the stealing of files from the office of Dr. Daniel Ellberg's psychiatrist. Charges of presidential involvement in the ITT affair and the milk fund case were not on the list of 13. PRESIDENT NIXON .thin hold on job? "Groups most critical of the President on the charges were young people, those in the highest income category, those living in the West, the college- educated, single people, union members, those moderately active socially and politically and Democrats," an accompanying analysis said.
