[0:03] This is NBC Nightly News

[0:07] with John Chancellor in New York and

[0:10] David Brinkley in Washington.

[0:15] Good evening. Bing Crosby died today. He

[0:19] was 73. It happened quickly and in a

[0:22] place he very much liked to be on the

[0:24] golf course. This one in Spain where he

[0:27] collapsed on the 17th hole and was

[0:29] pronounced dead shortly after our

[0:32] segment three this evening coming up

[0:34] shortly. We'll have other details and a

[0:36] look at Crosby's great career. John,

[0:40] there was a special meeting at the White

[0:41] House today between President Carter and

[0:43] the leader of Panama, General Omar

[0:45] Torios. At the end of it, both men said

[0:48] they had successfully resolved

[0:50] differences of interpretation of the

[0:51] Panama Canal Treaty. Questions had been

[0:54] raised about priority passage for

[0:56] American ships in times of emergency and

[0:59] about the right of the United States to

[1:01] intervene to protect the canal. All

[1:03] settled, they said today. Judy Woodruff

[1:06] was there.

[1:07] >> It was the second White House meeting

[1:09] between President Carter and General

[1:10] Torios in 5 weeks. It was held to

[1:13] clarify questions that have been raised

[1:15] recently about US ships having first

[1:18] priority to pass through the canal in

[1:20] times of crisis and about US rights to

[1:23] defend the canal. Torios left to fly

[1:26] home after almost two hours of

[1:28] discussions.

[1:32] The president told a group of editors he

[1:34] thought the meeting between the two

[1:36] leaders had resolved those different

[1:37] interpretations. Beyond that, he gave

[1:40] few details.

[1:44] At the airport, Torio said through an

[1:46] interpreter that the US would only

[1:48] intervene under one condition.

[1:52] He said that uh

[1:56] as partners you understand that the

[1:58] United States

[2:00] participate in defending the canal but

[2:03] that the United States have no right to

[2:06] interfere in interfere in the internal

[2:08] affairs of minutes ago at the White

[2:11] House. Treaty negotiator Saul Lunowitz

[2:13] had a further clarification of the US

[2:15] role. Any United States action will be

[2:19] directed at ensuring that the canal will

[2:22] remain open, secure, and accessible,

[2:26] and it shall never be directed against

[2:29] the territorial integrity or political

[2:32] independence of Panama.

[2:35] >> Lynwood said he hoped today's

[2:36] clarification would answer all the

[2:38] questions that have been raised about

[2:39] the language of the treaty so the White

[2:41] House can proceed with winning approval

[2:43] in the Senate. Judy Woodruff, NBC News.

[2:46] The White House.

[2:48] >> All of this, of course, was designed

[2:49] primarily for an audience of 100. 100

[2:52] 100 members of the US Senate. For the

[2:54] New Deal on the canal depends on Senate

[2:56] ratification. And how did the

[2:58] administration fare on that score? Tom

[3:01] Pettit has some answers.

[3:03] The Carter Torio's declaration does not

[3:05] seem to be helping get the treaties

[3:07] through the Senate. For one thing, the

[3:09] administration told only about 10

[3:11] senators in advance of what President

[3:13] Carter planned to do with General

[3:14] Torios.

[3:17] About the time General Torios was

[3:19] leaving the White House this morning,

[3:21] two former secretaries of state were

[3:23] appearing before the Senate Foreign

[3:24] Relations Committee.

[3:27] About the time to left the Panameanian

[3:29] Embassy, Dean Rusk was promoting the

[3:31] treaties. Even though no one on the

[3:33] committee knew precisely what had

[3:35] happened at the White House,

[3:37] the Torio's motorcade was heading

[3:39] through Washington traffic and rain. At

[3:41] about the time, Henry Kissinger was

[3:43] saying it is not necessary to rewrite

[3:45] the treaties to clear up

[3:46] misunderstandings.

[3:50] Bilingual and other ambiguities are of

[3:53] immediate importance to Torios. He has

[3:55] less than two weeks after his return to

[3:57] Panama today to prepare for a national

[3:59] referendum on the treaties.

[4:02] Not until several hours after General

[4:04] Torios left town did the Carter

[4:06] administration send Ambassador Lynowitz

[4:08] to tell the Senate Foreign Relations

[4:10] Committee what had been worked out. It

[4:12] was an odd way of ending the committee's

[4:14] public hearings on the canal treaties. A

[4:16] closed door meeting with Lenowitz.

[4:19] The treaties remain in trouble tonight.

[4:21] No converts were made today. The two

[4:24] major neutral senators stayed neutral.

[4:27] Democrat Church praised the meeting but

[4:29] did not endorse the treaties. Republican

[4:32] Baker praised the agreement but said it

[4:34] might not be enough to satisfy the

[4:36] United States Senate. Tom Pettit, NBC

[4:39] News, Washington.

[4:41] In the testimony today by former

[4:43] secretaries Dean Rusk and Henry

[4:45] Kissinger, Kissinger said yes, some of

[4:48] the language was vague and ambiguous,

[4:50] but he said that was the standard

[4:52] language of diplomacy used by all

[4:54] countries, including this one.

[5:02] You use a denture adhesive. Which one do

[5:04] you think holds stronger longer? The

[5:07] brown one or the white one? Denture

[5:09] grip. Results at five and seven hours.

[5:12] Dential grip up to 40% better hold. At

[5:15] 10 hours, denture grip up to 50% better

[5:18] hold. 50%. Now you know it's your

[5:22] choice. That one or denture grip. It

[5:25] holds stronger longer and proves it.

[5:31] >> You know something? I'm happy with the

[5:33] way I look. And I found that doing some

[5:37] simple basic things to take care of

[5:38] myself sure has a lot to do with it.

[5:42] That's why I exercise and eat the right

[5:44] foods. And I've also started taking

[5:46] geratl every day to be sure I get enough

[5:49] iron and vitamins.

[5:50] >> Geratl, more than twice the iron of any

[5:52] ordinary supplement and some very

[5:54] important vitamins. Take a look at who

[5:56] takes Geratl.

[5:58] >> Geratl every day.

[6:09] These Atlas tires look identical. They

[6:11] both meet federal standards for strength

[6:13] and endurance. But we're removing our

[6:14] name from this one. Why? Because it's

[6:16] not good enough to meet additional Atlas

[6:18] standards for smooth ride and long-term

[6:20] reliability. In fact, these Atlas

[6:22] standards are among the highest in the

[6:24] tire industry. So, when you see the name

[6:25] Atlas on tires, you can be sure they're

[6:27] top quality. And that means real value.

[6:30] Look for them at a service station in

[6:32] your neighborhood. Long mileage Atlas

[6:34] tires.

[6:39] >> By on the Persian Gulf, a hijacked

[6:41] Luftanza jetliner sits on the runway

[6:43] tonight with about 90 hostages inside,

[6:46] held captive by four hijackers who speak

[6:49] German and Arabic. It seems clear now

[6:52] that this is linked to the kidnapping

[6:53] five weeks ago of West Germany's leading

[6:55] businessman, Hans Martin Schlayer. The

[6:58] hijackers say that unless some German

[7:00] and Palestinians are released from jails

[7:02] in West Germany and Turkey, Schllayer

[7:04] and those aboard the plane will die.

[7:06] Paul Cunningham has more.

[7:09] As early as last night when the plane

[7:11] landed to refuel at Larnica on Cyprus,

[7:14] attempts were made to negotiate with the

[7:15] hijackers. As Criot officials tried

[7:18] talking with them, it was evident even

[7:20] then that they were nervous and

[7:22] agitated.

[7:27] I'll go to speak with him. Okay. The

[7:29] >> plane then took off for Bahrain on the

[7:31] Persian Gulf for yet another refueling.

[7:33] It finally arrived in Dubai in the

[7:35] United Arab Emirates where for hours

[7:37] it's been standing in the sweltering

[7:39] heat. And this may not be the hijacker's

[7:42] last stop. Dubai officials have agreed

[7:45] to refuel the plane, but there's no

[7:47] indication when or if it will take off.

[7:50] Their immediate aim appears to be to try

[7:52] to gain the release of women and at

[7:54] least six children aboard. The hijackers

[7:56] have given a deadline of noon Sunday for

[7:58] their demands to be met. In Bon, West

[8:02] German government officials are saying

[8:04] safety of the hostages is of first

[8:06] importance and that they are seeking

[8:08] cooperation of other governments.

[8:11] Meanwhile, through a Swiss lawyer in

[8:12] Geneva acting as an intermediary, it's

[8:15] been learned that Dr. Schlier will be

[8:17] shot unless jailed urban gerillas in

[8:19] West Germany and Turkey are released by

[8:21] 8:00 a.m. Sunday.

[8:23] >> Meanwhile, aboard the plane in Dubai,

[8:25] it's been learned there are four

[8:27] hijackers. Two of them are women. Paul

[8:30] Cunningham, NBC News.

[8:34] Valentin Turchin, a well-known and

[8:37] active member of the dissident group in

[8:39] Moscow, was along with family and

[8:41] friends allowed to leave Moscow today.

[8:44] The Russians simply decided to let them

[8:46] out. Did not say why. Here's Fred Briggs

[8:48] in Vienna. They arrived shortly before

[8:51] noon today on an airflow flight from

[8:53] Moscow. The three, Dr. Valentine

[8:55] Torchin, Cronid Lubarski, and Boris Bale

[8:58] and their families were met by

[8:59] representatives of Amnesty

[9:01] International. Dr. Torchin was in fact

[9:03] the chairman of the Moscow branch of

[9:05] Amnesty International, whose members

[9:07] frequently risked and received terms in

[9:10] prison for labor camps. The Russians

[9:12] were given new identity papers. Dr.

[9:14] Turchin said he had serious doubts that

[9:16] he and his friends would have been

[9:18] allowed to leave but for the current

[9:19] Belgrave conference and its emphasis on

[9:22] human rights. He spoke of Sakurov, of

[9:24] Orlav, of those who remain behind. these

[9:28] uh men members of different uh hiereni

[9:32] groups in Moscow and Ukraine and so on

[9:35] are jailed and already Rudena received

[9:38] seven years of strict regime last 5

[9:42] years in exile and Tiki received 10

[9:44] years the only fault the only guilt of

[9:47] these people are that they believed in

[9:51] in in hes agreements and tried to

[9:54] monitor and to to watch how the

[9:57] humanitarian articles are unobserved.

[10:00] >> What were your thoughts as you left the

[10:02] Soviet Union? As you flew over the

[10:04] border this morning, uh seeing the

[10:06] Soviet Union for perhaps the last time

[10:09] >> it was difficult and hard and but

[10:15] I was in fact I was compelled to leave

[10:17] the country and

[10:22] it's even difficult to to speak about

[10:24] that. Later they claimed their baggage.

[10:27] All they owned in this world now, but a

[10:30] new world for all that. Fred Briggs, NBC

[10:33] News, Vienna.

[10:36] >> Richard T. Hannah, a former member of

[10:38] Congress, a Democrat, California, was

[10:40] indicted today and charged with bribery,

[10:43] fraud, and conspiracy in the spreading

[10:46] of South Korean money around Washington

[10:48] in recent years. He is the first present

[10:51] or past member of Congress to be

[10:53] indicted in this case. John, a Senate

[10:56] House conference this afternoon agreed

[10:58] on an increase in the minimum wage,

[11:00] which is now $2.30 an hour. If the

[11:03] president signs the bill, which is

[11:04] likely, that will go up to 265 an hour

[11:08] next January, and to 335 an hour by

[11:11] 1981. At that stage, an additional 2

[11:14] million workers will be earning the

[11:16] minimum wage. The president's energy

[11:19] saving bill finally came out of the

[11:20] Senate Finance Committee today looking

[11:23] not at all as it did when it went to the

[11:25] committee and not at all like the bill

[11:27] passed by the House. John Cochran has

[11:29] the story.

[11:32] By the time the finance committee

[11:34] finished chopping up the president's

[11:35] energy bill, not a single one of the

[11:37] taxes he wanted was left. Instead, the

[11:39] committee voted for tax breaks to reward

[11:41] homeowners and businesses who install

[11:43] insulation. The committee also voted tax

[11:46] breaks for industries that switch to

[11:47] fuels other than oil or natural gas. If

[11:50] the full Senate goes along with the

[11:52] committee's bill, then Chairman Russell

[11:54] Long will try to work out a compromise

[11:56] with the House. Long is willing to

[11:58] accept the House pass tax on crude oil

[12:00] if some of the tax money is returned to

[12:02] the oil industry to encourage

[12:04] production. If uh the tax is to go on

[12:07] crude oil as suggested by the house,

[12:11] there will be talk about the possibility

[12:13] of a credit against some of that tax to

[12:16] help provide further incentive for

[12:18] people to produce more and to put more

[12:20] into drilling more wells.

[12:22] >> Senator Moahan was one of the

[12:23] president's few allies on the committee,

[12:25] but even he thinks Mr. Carter is wrong

[12:27] to blame his defeat on oil lobbyists. I

[12:30] have not had a single representative of

[12:33] an oil or gas company come near me.

[12:36] Maybe that's why I kept voting with the

[12:38] president. If I had, I might have

[12:39] changed. If Congress fails to come up

[12:42] with an energy bill that Mr. Carter

[12:43] likes, then he says he may use his

[12:45] authority as president to raise the fees

[12:48] on imported oil that would have the same

[12:50] effect as a new tax. And he seems to be

[12:53] serious about that. He is also

[12:55] threatening to ration gasoline.

[12:58] Congress does not think he is serious

[13:00] about that. John Cochran, NBC News, the

[13:03] capital.

[13:05] >> Last summer, we reported here on a drug,

[13:08] sodium valproate, is found to be helpful

[13:11] in certain types of epilepsy, widely

[13:13] used in Europe, but not available here.

[13:16] Today, the Food and Drug Administration

[13:18] and Abbott Laboratories agreed to make

[13:20] the drug available to the public. Here's

[13:22] Bob Dodson in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

[13:26] Anna and Jim Harley are two of the

[13:28] thousands of epileptics in this country

[13:30] who could be helped by the FDA's

[13:32] decision. They both suffer from myonic

[13:35] epilepsy. Sodium valproate is the only

[13:38] drug that has controlled their seizures.

[13:42] Last summer, Anna could not get the drug

[13:44] because it had not been approved for

[13:46] sale in this country. Her brother Jim

[13:48] was taking sodium valproate as part of a

[13:50] university research program, and it had

[13:53] all but stopped his epileptic fits.

[13:56] NBC reported Anna's problem and the FDA

[13:58] gave her a special exemption to use the

[14:00] drug. The agency also decided to

[14:02] re-examine its entire drug review

[14:04] policy.

[14:06] Today, Anna is back in school and is now

[14:09] practically seizure-free.

[14:12] Sodium Valproate could help at least 1

[14:14] million epileptics. And for 300,000

[14:17] people like Anna and Jim Harley, it is

[14:19] the only drug that will work.

[14:22] >> I call for vote. The Food and Drug

[14:24] Administration asked an independent

[14:25] advisory panel to study the scientific

[14:27] evidence on sodium valproate. It did and

[14:30] recommended approval.

[14:32] >> The FDA has informally accepted those

[14:34] findings.

[14:40] >> Sodium valproate could be available to

[14:42] all epileptics before the end of the

[14:44] year and people like Jim and Anna Harley

[14:47] will be able to live more normal lives.

[14:50] Bob Dodson, NBC News, Fredericksburg,

[14:52] Virginia.

[14:54] >> Why are these two men smiling? One of

[14:56] them, Israeli Prime Minister Musha Dian,

[14:58] is quoted as saying his meeting with

[15:00] President Carter last week was brutal.

[15:03] But today, through a spokesman, the

[15:04] president said the meeting was certainly

[15:06] not brutal and that he did not threaten

[15:08] Israel with diplomatic isolation if it

[15:11] wouldn't go along with plans for a

[15:12] Geneva peace conference.

[15:15] Professor James Meade of Cambridge, age

[15:17] 70, and Professor Bertil Olin of Sweden,

[15:20] age 78, today shared the Nobel Prize for

[15:23] economics, mainly because of their work

[15:25] on international trade, which are

[15:28] regarded as classics. David

[15:31] Jacqueline Kennedy Onasus has worked for

[15:33] two years as a consultant editor to

[15:35] Viking Press, a New York book publisher.

[15:38] Viking has just put out a novel dealing

[15:40] fictionally with Senator Edward Kennedy

[15:42] being elected president in 1980 and a

[15:45] plot to murder him. Mrs. Onasus saying

[15:48] she was upset by all of this resigned

[15:51] her job today.

[15:58] Last year, General Motors redesigned its

[16:00] full-size cars to help conserve our

[16:02] natural resources. They became some of

[16:04] the bestselling new cars in GM history.

[16:07] This year, GM introduces its second wave

[16:10] of cars in an all new size. The 1978

[16:14] Chevrolet Malibu and Monte Carlo,

[16:16] Pontiac Lemon and Grand Prix, Oldsmobile

[16:18] Cutless Salon, and Cutless Supreme and

[16:20] Buick Century and Regal. While these

[16:23] cars are trimmer outside than last year,

[16:26] both sedans and coups offer more

[16:28] headroom, leg room, and rear seat knee

[16:30] room. There's more usable trunk space

[16:33] this year for carrying things

[16:36] and extensive corrosion resisting

[16:39] treatments. In all, these cars are

[16:41] spacious, quiet, secure, and with their

[16:44] trim new styling in tune with the times.

[16:47] See them at your GM dealers. GM's new

[16:51] midsize cars designed and engineered for

[16:54] a changing world.

[17:03] When I make a barbecue, I make a big

[17:06] barbecue. I make a big pot of baked

[17:09] beans. I make a big toss salad. And I

[17:11] made a big mistake. I forgot to put out

[17:15] the A1 steak sauce. And you know what

[17:16] they say, a steak without A1 is a

[17:19] mistake. A1 steak sauce brings out the

[17:22] flavor of any steak, even hamburger. It

[17:24] makes every bite count. That's why a

[17:26] steak without A1 is a mistake.

[17:29] >> That's what I call a big improvement.

[17:33] >> Our segment three this evening is a look

[17:35] at and a celebration of the life of

[17:38] Harry Lilis Crosby known as Bing. His

[17:41] death today of a heart attack in Spain

[17:43] will come as bad news to millions of

[17:45] people around the world. Don Oliver has

[17:47] assembled this report on his career.

[17:51] Where the blue

[17:55] of the night

[17:58] meets the gold

[18:01] of the day?

[18:04] Would you like to swing on a star?

[18:08] Carry moon beams home in a jar.

[18:12] I'm an old cow hand from the Rio Grand,

[18:17] but my legs ain't b and my cheeks ain't

[18:20] tan.

[18:27] Dreaming

[18:29] of a white

[18:32] Christmas.

[18:34] >> He began more than 50 years ago as a

[18:36] vaudeville singer named Harry Lilis

[18:38] Crosby. He died an institution. Few

[18:41] remembering what his first two names

[18:43] were, but everybody knew who Bing was.

[18:46] He won an Oscar, sold millions and

[18:47] millions of records, raised two

[18:49] families, and was regarded as a

[18:51] thoughtful and decent man. The best

[18:54] actor award came for Going My Way in

[18:56] 1944. But many people remember his movie

[18:59] career best for the road shows and the

[19:01] running gags with Bob Hope.

[19:05] I hear this country where they do the

[19:08] dance of seven.

[19:09] >> There was to have been another road

[19:10] picture with Bing, Bob, and Dorothy

[19:12] Lamore. This year,

[19:13] >> we're going to call it the road to the

[19:15] fountain of youth. An army camp in the

[19:17] Second World War. Hope and Crosby

[19:19] together.

[19:40] My god, you got to do a show tonight.

[19:45] >> A kid will deny me to you.

[19:50] >> Somebody's flat. Thank you. Now, don't

[19:53] you stare at me.

[19:57] >> The 40s were the big years for Bing

[19:59] Crosby. His radio program was extremely

[20:01] popular. He sold more records than any

[20:04] singer before him. But the 50s brought

[20:06] rock and roll, and Crosby didn't sing as

[20:08] much anymore. He said later he didn't

[20:10] really try during the 50s and 60s

[20:12] because he didn't think the public

[20:13] wanted to hear his kind of music

[20:15] anymore. He acted but more infrequently

[20:18] and he did television shows from time to

[20:20] time. It was last March while he was

[20:22] taping a show marking his 50th year in

[20:24] show business that Crosby fell from the

[20:27] stage. He had ruptured a disc in his

[20:29] lower back. When he had recovered enough

[20:31] to be moved, he was taken from a

[20:32] hospital in Los Angeles to the San

[20:34] Francisco Bay area.

[20:42] and later to his home in Hillsboro where

[20:44] he recuperated during most of this year.

[20:47] It was 3 weeks ago he made his last US

[20:49] performance in conquered California.

[20:52] >> You've gone fishing.

[20:55] >> How'd you know? There's a sign up on

[20:59] your door. You've gone fishing.

[21:02] >> Yes. Yes.

[21:04] You ain't working anymore.

[21:07] >> There's your hoe out in the sun.

[21:10] >> I know

[21:11] >> where you left a row half done.

[21:15] You claim working ain't no fun.

[21:17] >> Crosby was interviewed at his home just

[21:19] before he left on an overseas tour. Why

[21:22] he was asked did he get into show

[21:23] business in the first place?

[21:24] >> I was a kid. I wanted to be in show

[21:26] business. I had heard the records and

[21:28] and seen the silent pictures and seen

[21:30] these guys in person when they came

[21:31] through Spokane and I went to all the

[21:33] vaudeville. So I wanted to be connected

[21:34] with show business even if I was a

[21:37] property man anything.

[25:01] here and watch hot air balloons for very

[25:03] long without hearing music.

[25:36] or if you're a country music fan.

[25:40] >> You had me way up in the air, but you

[25:43] were there to see me through.

[25:48] You had me way above the tree. Now

[25:52] you're leaving me.

[25:54] But I ask of you.

[25:57] Let me down easy. Let me down slow.

[26:04] Amazing.

[27:16] >> The Amway story has many chapters. This

[27:18] is one of them. We felt trapped in a

[27:20] gray world, dead-end job, stuck at home.

[27:24] And then we discovered Amway.

[27:26] >> We started part-time. We built an

[27:28] independent business. Helped others

[27:30] start Amway businesses, too. We're

[27:32] building it our way. And that gives us a

[27:34] lot of satisfaction and fulfillment.

[27:36] We're living again. With Amway, you

[27:39] could make it happen.

[27:41] >> See your Amway distributor

[27:56] sir. Plop plop fist. Oh what a relief it

[28:00] is. Plop plop fizz.
