Saddat Hassan, Palestinian
representative to the United Na
tions, charged it was erroneous
and misleading to believe that
Mideast peace can be achieved by
Henry Kissinger’s disengagement
talks.
Hassan told the Arab Student
Organization last night that peace
would have come to the Mideast
years ago if the United States
and the Soviet Union had not in
terfered.
“Look at Kissinger’s peace in
Vietnam, there is no peace there.
The fighting continues. The U. S.
keeps pouring money into Israel
as if it were a 51st state or some
charitable organization.
“The Israelis themselves are
spoiling the armistic. Golda (Mier,
Israel’s Prime Minister) cannot
hold heer own government togeth
er,” Hassan said.
He called Israel an alien state
in the middle of the Arab home
land, saying the United Nations
violated its own charter by par
titioning Palestine to form Israel
without a plebiscite of the people
directly involved.
“Others criticize Palestinians
for opposing the partition, saying
we are unrealistic. But is it un
realistic to oppose a simple act of
displacement from our home
lands? No one else would allow
it.
“Would you, as Texans, accept
peacefully the establishment of a
black state within Texas, exclud
ing all Texans except blacks?”
Hassan asked.
“We are proud people, and will
fight and rebel with all means
possible to defeat the Zionist de
signs and colonial movements of
outside nations encroaching upon
Palestinian land and property.
We are asked by the other Arab
states to believe and trust the Al
lies in World War II, but found
their promises broken.
“Then the power shifted from
London to Washington where the
guilt-ridden consciousness of the
Allies made them generous at our
expense, taking our land from us
against all principles,” Hassan
said.
According to Hassan, the Pales
tinians were forced to fight for
their rights to combat what he
called the world-wide Zionist
movement. He told the predom
inantly Arab audience that his
country was not blood thirsty,
despite what the major networks
and newspapers might believe and
report.
“The mass media wants to en
courage the Zionist feelings and
efforts by distorting the news to
the people,” Hassan asserted.
He further claimed that the
Arab states destroyed the Israeli
myth of “superstate Israeli” in
the October ’73 war.
“The Arabs proved Israel was
not invincible, and that Arabs
can fight. Since then, more and
more young people and intelligen
tsia within Israel are questioning
the Dayans, (Moshe Dayan, Is
raeli Defense Minister,) and Meirs
and the whole basis of the Zionist
movement,” Hassan said.
Hassan said the Arabs are as
cending and the Israelis are de
clining in the power struggle in
the Mideast; the Palestinians
want to live equally with the
Jews, not subjugated to Israel’s
government.
“We want a just, moral and
equitable settlement of the Pal
estinian conflict. But we cannot
allow the odious phenomenon of
Zionism to dictate policy through
Washington and Kissinger,” Has
san said.

Galley suffers money woes living problems
FT. BENNING, Ga. <A>) — Ar-
i my Lt. William L. Galley Jr.,
I whose tiny apartment was his
I jail cell for three years, is enjoy
ing restricted freedom but feels
i his financial woes must soon force
him to take a civilian job.
“He has no income now from
the Army and he’s right at the
1 end of his financial rope,” says
Galley’s local civilian attorney,
Kenneth Henson. “He’s reached
the decision he’s going to have to
find some type of employment,
notwithstanding Army restric
tions.”
Galley, 30, convicted three years
ago in the My Lai massacre, was
freed Feb. 27 by a federal judge
in nearby Columbus in his own
recognizance. He told Judge J.
Robert Elliott that he wanted to

work, to live and to make money
for legal appeals.
Galley’s lawyers, say, however,
that they are still unclear on his
status as a military prisoner.
They say the Army will not let
him take a job, although he has
had many offers; but he was per
mitted recently to visit his sisters
in Florida.
Since he was freed, the Army
Survey tests
drug therapy
effectiveness
In an effort to effectively treat
drug abuse and addiction, the
Texas Department of Corrections
has conducted a survey on types
of drug treatments. These find
ings have been published in “A
Proposal for Drug Treatment
Programs in the Texas Depart
ment of Corrections.”
The study demonstrated that
many elements of the more suc
cessful drug treatments, such as
educational, recreational and vo
cational programs are already op
erational within the Department.
These treatments include with
drawal and institutional, as well
as therapeutic and Methadone
treatment.
The report, which is already be
ing integrated with the existing
Texas Department of Corrections
Treatment Programs, concluded
that “No existing drug treatment
program is suitable for the 13.7
per cent of Texas prisoners con
victed for drug abuse.”
Specifically, 931 inmates had
abused opium derivative drugs,
800 were marijuana offenders,
while the remaining 163 inmates
had abused either hallucinogens,
amphetamines, barbiturates, or a
combination of drugs.
has quit paying the $111 a month
rent and utilities it paid while he
was imprisoned in his apartment.
Friends say Galley has had to sell
his boat and his old foreign car
to raise money.
“It seems to us what the Army
is doing, in effect, is imprison
ing Lt. Galley; doing indirectly
what they can’t do directly,” says
Henson. “They are refusing to
pay him, they are not releasing
him on any kind of leave status.
They are not assigning him any
duties nor adequately explaining
his status.
“Yet they are restricting his
freedom of movement and his
freedom to earn a living.”
Henson said he and Galley’s
other lawyers have requested ad
ministrative leave, which would
allow him to get a job.
The Army refuses comment.
“All I can say is he is a convicted
military prisoner on bail,” says a
spokesman at Ft. Benning.
Galley has moved to a new
apartment in the same low red
brick building complex in which
he was living. “Just for a change,
I think,” Henson says of the
move.
Galley and his auburn-haired
girl friend, Anne Moore, occa
sionally dine out, friends say.
Miss Moore was given his power
of attorney while he was impri
soned so she could visit him daily
and handle his shopping and sec
retarial chores.
In the past, for diversion, he
worked in a small greenhouse,
read, watched television, and
played with a tank of fish, a
mynah bird named Joe, and a
lively beagle named Alexander.
Galley and his lawyers have
agreed they will abide by the
Army’s order that he not discuss
his case with anyone but his law
yers. He has declined to meet
with reporters since he was freed
and is sometimes silent even with
friends.
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Tex.
(^P) — There’s good news and bad
news for the thousands of young
persons planning South Padre Is
land this Easter holiday.
The good news is a good gaso
line supply. The bad news is no
southern tent city and streaking
will be expensive.
“We expect to have plenty of
gasoline,” Mrs. Betty Prcin, man
ager of the Port Isabel Chamber
of Commerce, said Wednesday.
She said all gas stations expected
to have adequate supplies for the
holiday.
A spokesman for the Cameron
County Park Department said the
usual “tent city” near the south
ern tip of the island will not be
permitted because the area has
not been marked off to allow uni
form space for each camper.
Campers are being sent to an
area north of Andy Bowie Park
where tents can be pitched near
the beach.
Justice of the Peace Bud Em
mons said the fine is $52.50 for
streaking or “snailing.” He said
“snailing” is a person who is
streaking but “is slow enough to
be caught.”
“They don’t like the $52.50. It
shortens their stay,” Emmons
said.
He said he has fined five per
sons for streaking in recent weeks
and expects more such incidents
as thousands of college students
arrive later this week.
Mrs. Prcin said all island mo
tels and hotels are filled for the
Easter weekend.
