Nixon, a solo Republican campaigner for the nation's opening presidentiala primary, pledged anew yesterday1 that a GOP administration would: end the war in Vietnam. Nixon staged one of his more' energetic campaign days, a five town sprint, urging the voters to turn out for the primary on March 12. Michigan Gov. George Romney, once his chief rival, has withdrawn as a candidate, although his name; will still be listed on the New Hampshire ballot. There is a write in campaign under way for New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller nd the Nixon forces appeared con- cerned lest disinterest hold down the GOP turnout. -Basement "The nation will be watching you March 12," Nixon told about 100 people in the basement of an Exeter restaurant. "As New Hamp- shire goes so will America go in November." Some 200 people packed the American Legion hall in Hampton, and heard Nixon pledge to end the war. He said President Johnson had the power to do that, but 300-Man Battalion "never has so much power been Loses 195 Troops; used less effectively."

The Added to Civil Rights Bill Bargaining Progresses In Long Copper Strike 0 WASHINGTON (P)-Bargaining prospects reportedly brightened yesterday for two major copper firms in White House efforts to settle the longest copper industry strike in the nation's history. But negotiators for 26 striking unions were taking a tougher stance with the two other giants of the industry in sticking to demands for companywide bargaining, in- formed sources said. The unions' demands for com- panywide bargaining and the in- dustry's refusal is the main issue that has blocked talks on wages and fringe benefits and dragged Navy Removes Stricken Oiler SAN JUAN, P.R. (P) - A team of six U.S. Navy vessels began trying yesterday to haul away the bow section of the ruptured tanker Ocean Eagle after it oozed more than a million gallons of crude oil into San Juan Bay, blacken- ing 11 miles of beaches and turn- V ing -the surf coffee brown. {Three tugs and three salvage ships nuzzled near the hulk, at- taching chains as oil still bubbled into the harbor. An oil boom pumped out the stern section which drifted aground near by and a Coast Guard spokesman said, "We've got the stern pretty much under control." The Navy vessels, under the dir- ection of Adm. Alfred R. Matter, the Caribbean commander, plan- ned to pull the bow to a point 100 miles north of San Juan. the strike of more than 50,000 workers into its 235th day. Phelps Dodge Corp. reportedly was already bargaining in three separate rooms with the unions in the executive Office Building next to the White House. Normal Pattern "They are conducting talks in their normal bargaining pattern," with separate negotiations covering the company's Texas refinery, its Arizona mines, and its Yonkers, N.Y., fabricating 'plant, said one source. Anaconda Co is bringing in its 35 man negotiating team in ex- pectation of getting a similar agreement from the unions for separate bargaining for different company operations, the source said "Bargaining will start today," he added. Resistance But the unions at one point yes- terday reportedly were putting up stiffer resistance to Kennecott Copper Corp. and American Smel- ting and Refining Co. on the issue of giving up companywide bar- gaining White House press secretary George Christian confiried only that separate talks between the unions, Kennecott, Phelps Dodge and American Smelting and Re- fining Co were under way President Johnson called the negotiators here Monday and warned them that dwindling cop- per supplies threaten prosperity, could jeopardize the supply of weapons for Vietnam and that the big growth of copper imports weakens the U.S. dollar in foreign, trade. rushn utton "I do not suggest to you, as' you've heard in this campaign, any push button way to do this," Nixon said yesterday. "I do not suggest withdrawal from Vietnam.: "I am saying to you that it is possible if we mobilize our econ- omic and political ladership it can be ended," he said. Gov. Ronald Reagan of Cali- fornia called yesterday for an end to "bickering and backbiting" among Republicans which he said could cost thefn the presidential election in November. "The months ahead are too cru- cial to allow for bickering, and backbiting among Republicans. The need for victory is too great. troops seized a Communist sam- pan loaded with explosive charges. Losses among government troops were described as light. There was no report on casualties among civilians, hard hit in previous phases of the Communists' winter spring offensive against metro- politan centers. Capitals Striking with long range wea- pons rather than ground forces, the Communists shelled a dozen provincial capitals, seven Amer- ican and South Vietnamese air fields, 14 military bases and six district towns. Brought under enemy mortar fire for the time was the giant $500 million U.S. sea and air sup- ply base at Cam Ranh Bay, 200 miles northeast of Saigon, which was visited just last Christmas by President Johnson and entertainer Bob Hope. Invulnerable The flurry of 15 shells-on Cam Ranh did no serious damage, but succeeded in violating one of the last so called invulnerable U.S. in- stallations in South Vietnam. A senior US military source pre- dicted yesterday that a showdown battle for Khe Sanh and other menaced allied positions south of the demilitarized zone will end in a Communist defeat. He pictured allied forces as about to go on the offensive and said the massing of four North Vietnamese divisions, perhaps 60,000-70,000 men including Viet Cong elements, presents the U.S. Command with "silver platter" op- portunities for conventional style battle in the northern two pro- vinces. 3 - :-Associated Press STUDENTS SURROUND militant Negro leader Ernie Chambers outside Horace Mann Junior High School following a rock-throwing demonstration. Chambers said disorders yesterday were triggered by the appearance in Omaha Monday night of former Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Police Stop Disorder in Omaha Negroes Protest Wallace Rally WASHINGTON ()) - The Jen- ate nailed an anti-riot provision into its civil rights bill yesterday and then refused to exempt in- dividual home owners from a ban on discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. Over administration protests, the Senate adopted 82 to 13 an amendment providing for a five year prison term and a $10,000 fine for crossing state lines with intent to start a riot. Single Family Then by the narrow margin of 48 to 43 it rejected an amendment by Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., (R- Tenn.), which would have re- moved about 29 million owner occupied single family dwellings, or about 44 per cent of the hous- ing market, from the anti-discrim- ination clause. As now written, the bill provides that effective Jan. 1, 1970, owner occupants of single family homes may not discriminate if they sell through a real estate. agent or broker. If they handled the sale themselves they would be free to discriminate. Brokers Baker proposed that they be permitted to discriminate, even when employing an agent, so long as they did not indicate any ra- cial preference or intent' to dis- criminate to the broker. "The right to discriminate," Baker said, "should not depend on whether the owner employs a broker." Sen. Charles H. Percy, (R-IIL), urging rejection of Baker's pro- posal, said, "We can't afford pre- judice and discrimination any more in this country." Anti-Riot The anti-riot amendment was pressed to adoption by Sens. Frank J. Lausche, (D-Ohio), and Strom Thurmond, (R-S.C.) It fol- lows the general lines of a bill the house passed 347 to 70 dur- ing last summer's street violence. "I do believe," Thurmond said, "that firm action to punish those who go into cities and incite riots will definitely alleviate this press- ing problem." Also adopted, 48 to 42, was an amendment by Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, (D-Ga.), making it a federal crime to injure, intimidate or interfere with a businessman during a riot. Not Germane Vice President Hubert H. Hum- phrey at first ruled the Lausche- Thurmond amendment out of order as not germane to the civil rights open housing bill. This brought Lausche to his feet with the comment that the bill's purpose is to help bring about domestic tranquility and prevent riots, "but now we hear that riots have nothing to do with it.' Sen. Philip A. Hart, (D-Mich.), floor manager for the adminis- tration backed civil rights mea-/ sure,'pleaded- with the Senate to wait for President Johnson's ver- sion of anti-riot legislation.

Omaha's population of 378,457 includes about 35,000 Negroes, 80 per cent of whom live in the Near North Side - scene of the 1966 rioting. "The Tour" Near Omaha North High School, which has a large Negro enroll- ment, Howard Petersen, 57, who operates a small grocery store, said about 15 to 20 Negro youths came into his store, rifled his cash regis- ter first, "then made the tour," smashing bottles of catchup and other grocery items on the floor. "They were fighting among themselves to get to the cash register," he said. Omaha Mayor A. V.
