1 in otter children tor than say Joceph, inyant Your Jack Anderson WASHINGTON The planners in the White House basement, who howled in pain over our disclosure of their India-Pakistan secrets, have slipped fragments from the same secret documents to their friends in the press. This illustrates how the White House uses official secrecy to control the flow of news to the public. Favorable facts are leaked unfavorable news is suppressed. out; The official leakers word that President Nixon's are now spreading the pro-Pakistan policy was not the disaster it appeared but really saved West Pakistan from dismemberment. As evidence, the boys in the basement leaked a few selective secrets to our columnwriting colleague, Joseph Alsop, who has excellent contacts at the highest levels of government.

the Alsop U.S. stated "on positive authority" that government had "conclusive proof" of India's intention to crush the main body of the Pakistan army in West Pakistan. This positive proof, he wrote, was "the centerpiece of one of the CIA's daily reports to the House during the crisis period." We have read the CIA's daily reports to the White House during the India-Pakistan war. They are stamped "Top Secret Umbra," a designation reserved for the darkest of the CIA's secrets. Alsop told us he never read the CIA reports himself.

He had no way of knowing, therefore, that his sources gave him only part of the story. These CIA digests, true enough, raised the possibility of an Indian attempt to crush West Pakistan. But the same digests also suggested India would accept an early cease-fire. Here is a typical excerpt: "'There have been reports that (Indian Prime Minister) Gandhi would accept a cease-fire and international mediation as soon as East Bengal had been liberated On the other hand, Art Buchwald You're going to hear a lot about "economic indicators" this year. An economic indicator is a clue to what is really happening to the economy.

From these hints economists can make fantastic predictions of which way the country will tilt in the next 12 months. A man who with nothing but economic indicators Friedrich Strasser, works, who is in charge of the "Input-Output Institute of Sensuous A visit to Dr. Strasser's institute produced some very interesting but frightening information. Dr. Strasser said that at the moment all his economic indicators were pointing up.

"More people are starting to travel the airlines, which is a very good sign," he told me. "At the moment though, it's still possible to book a flight without difficulty and have a comfortable ride without people sitting on your lap. But if things keep getting better, the airports won't be able to handle the traffic, the planes will be over-booked, luggage will be lost, and the airlines will have a very good economic year." "Wait a minute," I said. "Are you trying to say that if the economy gets better in this country, things will get worse?" "of course I am. Everyone knows the price of a good economy is a breakdown in services that the economy provides.

The more refrigerators people buy, the less chance they have of getting them repaired. The more cars that are sold, the bigger pollution and traffic problems you have. The more the country consumes, the less opportunity there is of getting rid of the garbage." Dr. Strasser said one of his best economic indicators is the behavior of shop clerks, hotel reservation people, and headwaiters. "The nicer they are," he said, "the more trouble the country is in.

During the recent recession we found shop clerks, hotel people and headwaiters the most courteous they had been since the economic doldrums of the early '60s. "This indicated to us that things were Inside Report By ROWLAND EVANS And ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON With arms shipments to the Middle East about to escalate, top Pentagon strategists are now increasing the pressure on U.S. allies for a permanent NATO fleet in the Mediterranean to counter not just Soviet naval power in the Mediterranean itself but growing Soviet air power in Egypt. The paradox of this American effort, which started last month at the North Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels, is that the imminent resumption of U.S. Phantoms promised to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during her December meeting here is almost certain to be used by Moscow as an excuse to send more aircraft to Egypt.

The intensive U.S. effort to build a permanent NATO fleet in the Mediterranean direct result of the Pentagon's fear that Soviet air bases in Egypt and the TU-16 bombers sent to Egypt last November but as are a designed not for use against Israel long-range threat to the "southern flank" of NATO Although details of the new Phantom deal cloaked in high secrecy, arrangements for are the first shipment of Phantoms to Israel are now in final preparation. To Mrs. Meir, the batch of Phantoms is seen as essential new to give Israel a talks strong expected bargaining to start position next in the indirect month aimed at a partial Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai peninsula and the opening of the Suez Canal. Thus, the Israeli prime minister gave Nixon certain secret pledges that President would bargain in good faith an Israel interim settlement of the Sinai-Suez Canal issue after the U.S.

agreed to resume shipments of the Phantoms. The key to Mr. Nixon's Mideast policy has always been to end the Arab-Israell struggle as the first step toward ending the alarming growth of Soviet influence in Egypt. withdraw In short, from once Israel is persuaded to Egyptian territory, 80 Mr. reduce Nixon occupied.

The Board of Education announced the date at its meet- New 'Leak' Hints at Basis For Pro-Pakistan Policy we have had several recent reports that India now intends not only to liberate East Bengal but also to straighten its borders in Kashmir and to destroy West Pakistan's air and armored forces." The strongest CIA warning was sent to the White House Dec. 10. "According to a source who has access to information on activities in Prime Minister Gadhi's office," declared the report, "as soon as the situation in East Pakistan is settled, Indian forces will launch a major offensive against West Pakistan." But the CIA also took note of repeated Indian assurances to American Ambassador Kenneth Keating that India had no territorial ambitions and only to end the conflict with the least possible bloodshed. It is clear from the secret documents in our possession that the CIA had no "conclusive proof" of an Indian plan to dismember West Pakistan. The CIA had received a number of reports that a major Indian offensive might be imminent on the western front.

But these were discounted by both the State and Defense departments. Only Henry Kssinger, the President's foreign policy czar, seemed eager to believe the worst. Alsop's sources also told him that President Nixon intervened with the Kremlin, threatening "an ugly showdown," to stop Mrs. Gandhi's army from carving up West Pakistan. In response, Alsop claims that the Kremlin hurriedly dispatched Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kuznestsov to New Delhi on Dec.

12 to tell Mrs. Gandhi not to attack West Pakistan. Joseph Alsop is an enterprising and conscientious columnist. He acknowledged to us that "it is possible to be lied to on the very highest level." But he assured us his source had "never lied before." The evidence in our possession, however, suggests that the White House is playing peekaboo with CIA secrets to distort the truth. Sensuous Economics Finds Misery Loves Companies very bad.

Lately we've been spot-checking, and we've discovered that the hotel people are getting snippety again, the clerks' in stores are starting not to give a damn, and in some good restaurants the headwaiters, for the first time in two years, are becoming their old obnoxious patronizing selves. This shows that things are picking up, and the country could be in for a good "It's fantastic how you people arrive at your conclusions," I said. "It's foolproof," Dr. Strasser said. "Let's take the building industry as an example.

When the country is doing badly, no one is digging up the streets or drilling steel pilings into the ground, or making cement at 6 o'clock in the morning. People can get around easier, sleep better and work in a quieter atmosphere. "But as soon as the economy improves, the wreckers come out to smash down buildings, streets are barricaded by cranes, water and gas are turned off, and the noise drives everyone to the point of suicide. By just checking the nervous breakdown figures in a city for the week we can gauge how well the building industry is doing." "So the more, anxious the country becomes the better it is for all of us?" "Exactly. The best economic indicators are the sales charts of the anti-acid stomach medicine companies.

When sales of Alka Seltzer, Bromo Seltzer, Pepto Bismol and Rolaids are down, this means people are content and the dollar is in trouble. But when anti-acid sales are up, this means people are sick and getting their faith back in the country. You can't have economic growth without ulcer growth at the same time. "Then you're predicting a good economic year and a miserable existence for all of us?" I asked. "Life won't be as bad as it was in the late '60s when things were booming, but I predict it will be a good enough year that people will be able to feel how miserable a healthy economy can be." Pentagon Pressures Allies For Permanent NATO Fleet Hence the paradox: Israel has made an open Phantom pipeline the essential first step for serious talks on an Israeli-Egyptian solution, but one effect of that open pipeline almost surely will be an increase of Soviet power inside Egypt.

That explains the intensive, new American effort to build a NATO fleet on a permanent basis in the waters off the North African coast. High Pentagon officials now feel that Israel is secondary in the Soviet Union's plans for its Egyptian bases. Moreover, with NATO pressing Moscow hard for a mutual troop pullout from Eastern and Western Europe, the Russians are perceived as eager to enlarge and make permanent their air and naval bases in Egypt. Their purpose: to outflank Southern Europe from the North African coast after the U.S. begins to withdraw from Europe.

To counter this Soviet air and naval force, Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird and U.S. officials put the case hard at the Brussels meeting for a permanent NATO fleet similar to the NATO Atlantic fleet. The heart of that fleet would, of course, be elements of the U.S. 6th Fleet. Until the Arab-Israeli six-day war of 1967, the 6th Fleet used the Mediterranean as its private lake.

Now, however, the ever-expanding Soviet fleet has become a major political and military force in the Mediterranean, with access to Egyptian bases for fuel and supplies. American officials argued at Brussels for a total abandonment of the "boundaries" that now dictate the assignment of naval power by members of NATO to specific waters. Instead of occasional joint fleet maneuvers, the proposed NATO Mediterranean fleet would operate with the same freedom as the Soviet fleet, would exert a powerful political pressure, and would serve as a major deterrent to the growing Soviet threat from bases in Egypt. The prospect of an ecsalating arms race in the Middle East has now given this U.S. initiative an urgent push forward.

The educators yesterday termed the state's planned increase "poor public policy," adding it would be "an inadequate substitute for the proper level of state expenditures." The joint statement urged Gov. William T. Cahill and the Legislature "to find alternatives -funds raised by taxes or other means--rather than through increasing the burden on tuition paying students and their parents." The State Board of Higher Education is expected to meet Friday to determine the tuition rate increases which will affect more than 100,000 students. Students at New Jersey's eight state colleges now pay $350 in tuition and an average of $72 in required fees every year.

Tuition and fees at Rutgers University amount to $540 per year, COURT From Page 1 the over-all question of capital punishment before seeking legislation to reinstate the death penalty in the state. Bateman said he would like to see an interim measure to provide for the death penalty until a special commission on capital punishment appointed by Cahill submits its final report. According to Chief Deputy Thomas Driber at the State Prison here, the death row inmates heard the news of the Supreme Court opinion on radio sets yesterday morning but reacted calmly. "They took right in Driber said. "There was no great uoroar.

I guess they were expecting it." Driber said he was pleased with the decision because it would "give us a lot more room. That's just what we need." Death Row inmates are confined to a special wing of the prison, one man to a cell. The last man executed in the electric chair in New Jersey was Ralph Hudson in 1963. In recent years, the room housing the chair has been used to store old mattresses. The last execution in the nation was in June 1967.

There are nearly 700 men under death sentences across the country. In its 6-1 decision yesterday, the state Supreme Court sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court for failing to spell out its reasoning in a New Jersey case involving non vult pleas. The U.S. Supreme Court cast doubt over the New Jersey law last summer in an appeal from Victor Funicello of Edison, who was convicted of murdering a used car dealer in 1965.

The court set aside the death penalty for Funicello and said the case is "remanded for further proceedings." In October the court refused to reconsider its decision in the Funicello case. The state court complained that the federal court remanded the case without giving reasons, although the U.S. Supreme Court had cited in the Funicello opinion another case in which it overturned a federal kidnapping statute on grounds that the law subjected the accused person to the death penalty if he pleaded innocent rather than guilty. Chief Justice Josephi Weintraub of the state Supreme Court said, "I regret to say that the federal Supreme Court's handling of this important subject is not my idea of effective judicial administration. An appeal to the highest authoritv should be more rewarding than a trip to Delphi." The reference was to the ancient Greek oracle of Delphi, known for cryptic prophesies.

New Jersev amended its homicide law in 1893 to Incorporate non vult pleas. The change was taken for human purposes, to grant an accused murderer an escape from the electric chair. Under the law, it was up to the trial judge to decide if he should accept the plea of no defense or require the defendant to stand trial. In yesterday's decision, the lone dissent was by Justice John J. Francis who said he felt the homeide law was not unconstitutional "on its face so far as the death penalty is Besides Funicello, the court ordered a reduction to life in prison for nine other men who appealed to the court.

Moreover, it said the same action would be taken for the other 10 men on Death Row as soon as the prisoners filed court papers asking that their penalties be set aside. OBITUARIES VICTORIA, B.C.
