Secretary Robert Finch of the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare also set goal of doubling the number of black children at- tending desegregated Southern schools next fall. Finch's affirmative and aggressive tone at yesterday's news con- ference may once again roil the school debate, which had prompted President Nixon to issue a statement that several Southerners inter- preted as easing government pressure on the South. THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY announced yesterday a new policy designed to prevent future conflict-of- interest charges. It prohibits for one year the awarding of contracts to firms which hire former OEO officials and place them in senior positions. The new policy was announced by OEO director Donald Rums- feld in the wake of congressional charges of possible conflict-of-in- terest. r * * SATURDAY'S SCHEDULED LAUNCH of the Apollo 13 will not be postponed because of measles but still faces the threat of a possible strike. Blood tests revealed yesterday that the three, astronauts who will soon transverse the lunar surface have a satisfactory immunity to German measles. It was feared earlier that the astronauts might not develop sufficient antibodies to withstand the disease during their physically exhaustive flight. Meanwhile, in Australia technicians at two tracking stations were considering going out on strike to protest the dismissal of 36 other technicians. If they do strike the launch will be postponed. CONGRESS passed a $24.8-billion federal schoolaid meas- ure yesterday. The bill, shorn of a Southern-sponsored rider on school desegre- gation, authorizes the huge expenditure over a three-year period to expand a wide variety of programs aimed at strengthening elementary and secondary education. Compromise language adopted in the final version continues to recognize a distinction between the officially sanctioned segregation that used to exist in the South and the kind common in the North which results from racially segregated housing patterns. * * * THE WIFE OF SEN. PHILIP HART (D-Mich) was convicted' yesterday on, charges stemming from a peace demonstration in the Pentagon last November. Mrs. Hart and seven other' leaders of the demonstration were found guilty of deliberately attracting a crowd and obstructing the normal flow of people and activities in the Defense Department con- course. She called the verdict "a surprise and a disappointment" and voiced concern about the effect of the conviction on her husband's hances for re-election this fall. "Some people will not vote for him but others will because of this," she said. CONTINUES EVERYTHING ridiculously Reduced in Price WASHINGTON (ff - Key Senate strategists backing the nomination of G.

As the showdown draws near, senators on both sides of the nomination are attempting to nail down the votes they will need to win.

WALKOUTS INCREASE: Strikes continue as labor disputes grow ALL WEEK Open till 9 P.M. I or By The Associated Press As labor continued to press its demands nationwide, the Profes- sional Air Traffic Controllers Or- ganization (PACTO) was found guilty of civil contempt by a Fed- eral judge. The controllers, who have slowed most of the nation's air traffic by calling in sick, are asking pay hikes and improved working con- ditions. THE BLACK STUDENT UNION presents Roberta Flack COMPROMISE STATEMENT U.S. releases warning on pill and MUSIC INCORPORATED -jazz group from New York I Saturday, April 11 - '4:30 P.M. WASHINGTON (-) - Gov- ernment health officials a"an- nounced yesterday a compro- mise package warning for the 8%/2 million users of oral con- traceptives. The wording of the insert is less stringent th an originally announced b u t more detailed than a watered-down version of several weeks ago. The 114-word statement will be required in all boxes of oral contraceptives after comment from interested parties is re- ceived in 30 days and acted on by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA). Secretary of Welfare Robert H. Finch offered this explana- tion for shortening the original 600-word warning that listed numerous possible dangers from use of the pill: M' "A very lengthy statement is not likely to be read anyway. The size of the print is n o t found to be easily absorbed." The final wording states in part: "Rare instances of ab- normal blood clotting are the most important known compli- cation of the oral contracep- tives." The other known compli- cations are not listed. The original proposal, an- nounced March 4 by FDA Com- missioner Charles C. Edwards, referred to a "definite associa- tion" between use of the pill and clots. "The risk of this com- plication is six times higher for users than nonusers," it said. The original went on to list other reported side effects such as mental depression, swelling, skin rash, jaundice, high blood pressure, and elevation of blood sugar. It referred also to informa- tion women should receive from their physician on oral contra- ceptives and to proper inter- vals for periodic examinations. Organized medicine criticized the Edwards draft for alleged interference in the doctor-pa- tient relationship. D r u g com- panies faulted what they term- ed unbalanced and negative language.{ Planned parenthood groups said the warning would unduly frighten women away from oral contraceptives. The final warning is essen- tially the shortened substitute with added descriptions of symptoms that indicate the presence of clots. Penalties for the contempt vio- lation will not be decided until Saturday but the controllers were appealed to return to work if they were physically able. The judge found that the con- trollers struck under "extreme provocation" but declared "you just can't strike against the gov- ernment for any reason." Other labor disputes grew in in- tensity yesterday as truck drivers, printers and postal workers ex- pressed varying degrees of dis- satisfaction with contracts and contract proposals. A strike by truck drivers dis- satisfied with a tentative contract proposal assumed nationwide pro- portions yesterday as walkouts spread to the East. The walkout gained momentum in the Midwest amid reports of violence aimed at some truckers who stayed on the job. Drivers began the strike move- ment in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Akron, Ohio, and other cities over the weekend tot express their disapproval of a tentative national contract announced last week in Washington. Collective bargaining between the government and officials of postal employes unions - the first ever agreed to by the federal gov- ernment - continued as the gov- ernment searched for ways to finance a bill giving all civilian and military federal workers a 6 per cent pay boost. nomination would lose by oneC or two votes, assuming only 96 senators are on hand for the final vote. But supporters of Carswell are reported to be hopeful of picking up the votes of at least two sen- ators who backed the recommit- tal motion. They also are working to prevent more than three or four switch-overs by those who voted against recommittal. i Meanwhile, opponents of t h e nomination are trying to pick up enough votes to reverse their in- itial defeat. Senators who are still uncom- mitted are thus caught in a two- way squeeze. The key votes appeared to be those of Sens. J. W. Fulbright (D- Ark), Marlow W. Cool (R-Ken- tucky), a n d Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine). Fulbrighit deserted Southern ranks, on Monday to vote f o r sending the nomination back to committee. C o o k voted against the motion but has indicated that he is troubled by the nomination. Except for her vote against re- committal, Sen. Smith has given no hint of her stand. One supporter said that some senators whose votes could be cru- cial are refusing to indicate which way they are leaning. He added that he did not think-the Carswell supporters "h a v e any votes to spare at this point." . Meanwhile, Sen. Mark O. Hat- field (R-Ore.) abandoned his un- committed s t a n d, and said through an aide he would vote against confirmation. Hatfield last week urged President Nixon: to withdraw Carswell's nomina- tion. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania t o 1 d re- porters at the White House that "the President is confident that Judge Carswell will be confirm- ed." But other Republicans privately conceded they were nervous over the outcome. The Democratic leadership was also cautious. Tacticians on both sides men- tioned only a few of the uncom- mitted as being really unknown quantities. Presumably, the oth- ers have indicated privately what they will do.

House unit favors new drug laws WASHINGTON W) - T he House Select Committee on Crime yesterday called for reduced pen- alties for possession of marijuana. In a report, the committee sug- gested a maximum one-week jail sentence for first-offense mari- juana possession, during which the violator would be required to take a drug abuse education course. The report also contained pre- liminary findings of a marijuana study undertaken three years ago by the National Institute of Men, tal Health. The findings indicate that mar- ijuana does not necessarily lead to heroin addiction, but claim it is a dangerous drug and might pro- duce brain damage in "chronic" users, when strong preparations are used. The committee's report main- tained that present stiff penal- ties for marijuana possession were causing a diminished respect for the law in general. "The growing drug culture "is rapidly undermining respect for law and doing seriousrdamage to the ability of the criminal justice system to safeguard the lives and property of the American people," said Sen. Claude Pepper, chair- man of the committee. "I think a jail sentence of a week would be readily enforced," Pepperbsaid in an interview, "and would be accepted by the public." The Senate has passed a Nixon administration proposal that the present two-to-ten year penalties for marijuana possession be re- duced to a misdemeanor with a maximum one-year jail sentence. The committee report claimed that marijuana traffic is an $850 million-a-year business at mini- mum, and is leading increasing numbers of young Americans into tragic lives. The committee staff computed on the basis of raw government estimates that six million people used marijuana in 1969. They es- timated 600,000 habitual users spend at least $20 a week for a total of $624 million, 2.4 million spend at least $100 during the year for a total of $240 million and three 'million experimenters spend an insignificant amount. The preliminary findings on marijuana effects were given by Stanley F. Yolles, director of the mental health institute, in re- sponse to questions f r o m Sen, Pepper. They included a study showing that one-third to one- half of chronic marijuana users also try barbiturates and pep pills and less than 5 per cent try nar- cotics including heroin.
