A-2 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Monday, March 20, 1972 Article Says ITT Files Withheld No. Viet Gunners Down U.S. Planes a rescue team in two skyraiders accompanying an HI 153 "Super Jolly Green Giant" helicopter flew into the area but was driven off by North Vietnamese gunfire. A second similar rescue attempt shortly bofore dawn Sunday also was forced to withdraw because of ground fire. The American aircraft pounded the area during the night.

McLAREN SAID he didn't know why investment banker Felix Rohatyn, an ITT director, first went to Kieindienst, then deputy attorney general, with a hardship plea that eventually led to the settlement that was reached. But McLaren said he came under no pressure from either the White House or his superiors at the Justice Dept. to reach a settlement. He described the agreement under which ITT agreed to divest itself of several smaller companies in return for permission to keep Hartford Fire Insarance Co. as "a very good, I might say top settlement." McLaren described the memo attributed to Mrs.

Beard as incredible. And he said he thought ITT had made a mistake by destroying many of the documents in its Washington office following publication of the memo by Anderson. Continued from A-l with ITT's pledge to help underwrite the 1972 Republican convention, ANDERSON ATTRIBUTED the memo to ITT lobbyist Dita Beard, who since has described it as a fraud. Former Ast. Atty.

Gen. Richard McLaren, meanwhile, said that the ITT convention pledge had nothing to do with the antitrust settlement. McLaren, now a federal district court judge in Chicago, was head of the Justice Dept's Antitrust Division at the time of the out-of-court settlement. "I guarantee you that the Republican convention site and ITT's contribution to that had absolutely 100 per cent nothing to do with the settlement that I made," McLaren said. He was interviewed on the CBS TV-radio program "Face the Nation." i i I 1 I y.

Peter Duker of London is racing his bicycle around the world, attempting to break a record set in 1949. John Ball of South Africa is running from Los Angeles to New York, trying to cut eight days off the previous record.

Their paths crossed Sunday around noon just west of Datil, N.M. The event was recorded photographically by Mrs. George Petrisak, 2716 Solano NE, who had gone with her husband, the owner of Olympic Cycles and Sports, to meet Duker with some bicycle parts. THEY FOUND the cyclist -then along came marathon runner Ball, taking the same route along NM-60. (Bicycle riders and marathon runners aren't allowed to run on the freeways.) "I'm afraid I didn't get too m'uch information on him," (Ball) apologized Mrs.

Petrisak. "It was kind of hard to interview him while he was running and I was driving." At any rate, she found that the runner is 45 years old. the father of two children, and he hopes to run across the country in 55 days, beating the previous coast to coast running record of 63. Like Duker, Ball races from sunup to sundown. He is followed by a camper, and when he must move into the car, they add the distance to the number of miles that will be needed to complete the trip.

He will be met by his family in New York. FOR DUKER, 38, the ride is a special achievement. A television commentator and professional musician, Duker changed careers after he was badly injured and scarred in an automobile accident 18 months ago. Though doctors were skeptical that he would walk again, he was determined to walk and to ride and that determination resulted in his current trip around the world. His first lap was to Madras, India.

Reached in Mountainair where he was spending the night, Duker told the Journal the American trip Santa Monica to New York is the most challenging part of his journeys. His first lap he left England Sept. 1 was to Madras, India. Then he flew to Australia and peddled across that continent. In Australia, he was forced for the only time to date to walk his bike up the Bulli Pass.

"It was New Year's Day and New Year's Eve in Australia was a pretty hectic affair. I think that had something to do with it." DUKER IS TRYING to beat the U.S. coast to coast record, set in 1949, by four days attempting to accomplish the feat in 22 days, eight hours. His trip is being sponsored by the bicycle manufacturing country. He's already cinched the world record he'll complete the whole thing in about seven months.

Duker said he was astounded by the heights he must climb here. "It was really something to peddle across the Continental Divide. "It was quite a shock to stand at the Continental Divide and realize I was at 7700 feet." He's also found some extremes in the temperature Officers said she was thrown J.IA1J.IJ.IJ.1J.1.I.1J.IJ.IJ.1J.1J.1J.I.I.IT.IJ.I.1.1.I.U m-i 37 feet from the vehicle. THE ACCIDENT occurred Cecil L.
