PARIS (API - Prime Minister Raymond Barre says the widely condemned release of Palestinian guerrilla leader Abu Daoud was a matter of law. not politics, and did not violate France’s extradition agreements with Israel West Germany.
Barre in an interview Vith Agence France Press, the French news agency, asserted that France “applied the domestic law and the international ctHiventions which bind it” ttlien the alleged commander of the attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics was rushed out of the country wiTuesday.
He said Israel's extradition request could not be hwored because French law at the time of the Munich killings in 1972 did not p^mit extradition of citizens of a third nation for crimes committed outside the two nations.
West Germany’s extradition request could not be honored because the Germans had been loo slow in frilowing required diplomatic procedures, he claimed.
In Bonn, however, the West German Justice Ministry said
the warrant for Daoud was sent to Paris last Saturday, one day after he was arrested, and the French-German extradition agreement gave Bonn 20 days to confirm the warrant throu^ diplomatic channels.
The West German warrant accused Daoud of aiding the terrorist attack on the Israeli team at the Olympics, helping to seize 11 hostages and aiding in their murders and the death of a German policeman.
“The release of Mr. Daoud did not result from a political decision, but from a judicial decision,” Barre said. He said the government had no power to review cases where a court refused extradition rights.
“The government has never

Memorial Gifts
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Keith, Russell and Roy Anderson decided a year ago that they wanted to do something in memory of their late father.
So the three Milwaukee bnkhers began dropping in at hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions to deliver a tape recorder, cassette tapes of pc^ular stories and earphones.
Keith, who makes most of the deliveries around the country, said about 40 electronic gifts have been given so far to institutions picked at random. He estimated their value at around S8.000.
“We don’t like to give money,” he said. "You just dwi’t know where it is going to go and sometimes it is just not used right.”
The brothers, partners in three Milwaukee. appliance dealerships, believe their gifts provide recreational portunities for patients who sometimes have no other resources.

Barre said the release of Daoud also had nothing to do with French political interests, including the negotiations now underway for France to help Egypt build a plant to manufacture Mirage fi^ter-bomb-ers.
He said the Palestinian was arrested because he was in France on an Iraqi passport bearing a false name Barre added that he approved the arrest and said his government protested to the Palestine Liberation Organization because Daoud came to France as a member of an official PLO funeral delegation.
Daoud. now in Algiers, told the Toronto Star in a telephone interview that he expects the Israelis to try to kill him. He said he is ready "to die for my

The cold snap is causing the heaviest ice buildup in years on the Great Lakes, the Coast Guard said. And in Chesapeake Bay, seven vessels, inluding two barges carrying a total of nearly 1.4 million gallcms of oil. were trapped in Tangier Bay near the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Coast Guard officials feared that chunks of ice. blown by gusts of wind, might puncture the barges’ hulls: but no leaks were immediately reported.
Two tu^wats that were towing the oil barges also were stuck in the ice.
In the Great Lakes. Lake Erie was almost completely frozen; Lake Michigan was in danger of freezing over for cmly the fourth time this cmtury and a western portl(m of Lake Superior was covered with ice as well.
The Coast Guard halted traffic alMig 20 miles of the Mis-sissii^i River near Cape Girardeau. Mo., when a collapsing ice dam separated 11 barges from a towboat.
Barge traffic was also slowed on the Ohk). Allegheny and Mo-nongahela Rivers.
The ice on the Chesapeake Bay has cut drastically into the catch of oysters, snapp»^. rock-fish and lobsters, forcing up prices. Oysters, for example, are iq) to $10 a bushel, a 10 per cent increase over last year.
