House Rebuffs

Poverty Program

I WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP:
California Delays Executions
Pending State Court Decision

WASHINGTON (A)-The House
continued yesterday to rebuff at-
tempts to revise the Johnson ad-
ministration's antipoverty pro-
gram.
A proposal to shift work and
training programs for the poor
from the Office of Economic Op-
portunity to other federal agencies
was defeated 169 to 108 on a party
line vote.
Democrats then turned down 140

Vote Marred
By -Violence
MANILA (P) - Candidates of
President Ferdinand E. Marcos'
Nacionalista party led in impor-
tant Senate contests Tuesday as
early returns were counted fol-
lowing one of the Philippines'
most violently contested national
elections.
The national constabulary said
seven persons were slain. But a
spokesman said the voting was
"less bloody than expected."
Although there appeared to be
no widespread terrorism, 25,000
troops were on the alert.
Most of the violence occurred
in the provinces away from Ma-
nila. In Pampanga, a mayoral
candidate, a municipal councilor
and another politician were re-
ported shot to death. Two gov-
ernmhent election officials were
killed and four wounded in an
ambush in Ilocos Sur.
Philippine News Service said 24
persons have been killed since
election eve and put the total
slaying during the political sea-
son at 97. Thirty-three were killed'
before the 1965 election that put
Marcos in power.
In the important race for may-
or of Manila, Liberal incumbent
Antonio Villegas, who once tried
to ban American retailers from
the city, claimed re-election. Re-
turns had him leading over Pablo
Ocampo, a Nacionalista.
About 80 per cent of the coun.
try's eight million voters turned
out to choose the senators, 65
governors and nearly 14,000 pro-
vincial and municipal officials.
Debate focused on domestic pro-
grams and Marcos' pro-Western
foreign policy, including the
sending of 2,000 troops to Viet-
nam, was not an issue.

to 104 another GOP amendment
that would have established an on-
the-job training program in pri-
vate industry with the federal gov-
ernment paying 25 per cent of the
trainee's wages.
Unofficial Votes
Both votes were taken by count-
ing members as they passed
through tellers and individual po-
sitions were not recorded.
The amendment to transfer work
and training programs to the De-
partments of Labor and Health,
Education and Welfare was of-
fered as a substitute for the Neigh-
borhood Youth Corps.
It would have"retained some
features of the youth corps and
added provisions for job counsel-
ors to help high school youths find
employment in private industry
and for job training with private
employers.
Four Times
Rep. John R. Dellenback (R-
Ore), said the contribution of pri-
vate employers would be four times
the $243 million cost to the federal
government. The administration
bill would allocate $579 million
for work and training programs.
After defeat of the substitute
measure, Rep. Albert H. Quie (R-
Minn) offered the provision for job
training in private industry as a
separate amendment to the Neigh-
borhood Youth Corps.
Opposition
This move was opposed by Rep.
James G. O'Hara (D-Mich), who
said Congress should move care-
fuly before deciding to pay 25 per
cent of the wages of a private em-
ployer in competition with other
enterprises.
The House has been considering
the antipoverty bill for six days
and final actions is unlikely today
at the earliest. Still to be decided
are amendments to the most con-
troversial part of the legislation,.
the Community Action program.
An amendment adopted in the
Education and Labor Committee
would put Community Action
agencies under the control of state
or local governments. Members of
both parties from several large
cities object to the amendment
and an attempt will be made to
eliminate it.
More Fighting
Still further ahead is another
fight over funding for the pro-
gram. Republicans failed Monday
to trim its $2.06 billion authoriza-
tion to $1.4 billion, but will have
another chance in a motion to re-
commit the bill just before the
holiday.

the Federal Reserve would imme-

If the Federal Reserve moves off

CLEVELAND - Seth C. Taft,
who lost Cleveland's mayoral elec-

for a recount yesterday although
he said he is convinced Negro Carl

Taft told a news conference he
had decided on a recount to allay
the doubts of thousands of people
who were unhappy with the result.
"I have no evidence of error or
irregularities sufficient to change
