The Republican presidential
candidate also pledged to call a
Wpiite House conference on the
problems of Americans over 65 to
find "a new role foi' the older
generation."
Nixon disclosed his plan for
older citizens in a statement is-
sued at his Key Biscayne resort
headquarters, while he took a two
day break from his campaign in
a state that is a haven for retired
people.
His proposal came a few days
after his Democratic opponent

cost of living boosts for pensioners.
In his statement, Nixon saidj
there are 20 million Americans
over 65, people who have "brought
themselves, their families and
their country through the most
turbulent period in human his-
tory."
Now, he said, they are faced
with inflation caused by the Dem-
ocrats. "Fiscal mismanagement of
the old spend-spend, elect-elect
school of politics has gravely in-
jured the aged," he said.
In addition to raising pensions

nayiotis Pipenelis pleaded for
other countries to help the regime
by easing opposition.
Both termed the constitution a
first step toward parliamentary
rule.
The proposed charter strips the
monarchy of any real power, pro-
vides for a strong executive, aI
powerless parliament and vastly
increased authority' for the mili-
tary. There is no time table for
eventuial elections.
He insisted that despite the
existence of martial law, "the
refrendum is free, without any
pressure. The people can vote 'ac-
cording to their conscience."
The constitution is expected to
win overwhelming approval in the
balloting, to run from sunrise to
sunset. But the regime was taking
no chances.
All open opposition was foroid-
den. Soldiers and police stood by
to quell any possible demonstra-
tionofedissent. Extra buses, trains
and ships, were laid on in a final
stepped-up effort to get all eli-
gible voters back to their homes
in time\to cast ballots.
With all these preparations and'
a two-month campaign before the
vote, anything less than over-
whelming approval will be seen 6's
a rejection of the regime. Quali-
fied observers predicted at least
70 per cent of the voters would
accept the constitution.
Few Greeks had any doubt
about the outcome should-the con-
stitution be turned down. Deputy
Premier Stylianos Patakos said
Friday that in event of a rejec-
tion: "We would be obliged to'
draft a new fonstitution, but Un-
der conditions of more discipline."
The weather forecast is warm
and sunny. Vpters will be asked
to cast one of two ballots given
them. The ballots say simply "nai"
yes and "oxi" no.

iensions
come that Social Security reci-
pients are permitted to earn while
receiving pensions. For the pres-
ent. Nixon proposed increasing
the limit.
-A boost in widow's benefits,
from the present 82 per cent of
her late husband's pension to 100
per cent.
-Extension of Social Security
benefits to everyone over 65,
whether or not they pay taxes into
the Social Security fund. At pres-
ent, everyone over 72 is eligible.
-Restoration of the 100 per
cent, income tax deduction that
those 65 or older could once claim
for many drug and medical ex-
penses.
Nixon also talked of the social
problems of old age-"how to fill
empty hours."f
Nixon talked about the need for
adequate housing, and said pres-
ent government programs "tend
to, overlap and in 'some instances
they bear unnecessary restric-
tions."
"Pi:rivate enterprise and volun-
t organizations need encourage-
ment to build and maintain more
and better housing and nursing
facilities for older people in a
wider range of income groups."
said Nixon.
In the morning, Humphrey
backers sent a light plane circling
around the luxury beach-front
hotel where the GOP candidate is
staying-blaring out a challenge
for a Humphrey-Nixon debate.
"Nixon afraid to debate Hum-
phrey? Why?" was the message.
Outside his hotel, about 25 Hum- 
phrey supporters paraded briefly,
accompanied by a loudspeaker
truck proclaiming the same mes-
sage.
Nixon has said he won't debate
Humphrey on television as long as

U.N. Secretary-General U Thant accused U.S. diplomat
George W. Ball yesterday of "surprising misunderstanding
and misconception" of his widely publicized views on what an
end to all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam would accomplish.
Thant's comments came the day after Ball left the post of
U.S. chief U.N. delegate to join Vice President Hubert H.
Humphrey as the Democratic presidential candidate's chief
foreign policy adviser.
Ball said at a news conference shortly before he left the
U.S. delegation that he did not accept Thant's idea that
stopping all the United States' bombing of North Vietnam
was an essential first step toward progress in the Paris peace
talks between the two.

Ball said it was a "naive as-
sumption that if we were to stop
the bombing the whole world
would be suddenly transformed."
He declared the bombing issue
had been "enormously distorted
and blowp way out of life size."
A U.N. spokesman, quoting
these remarks, told reporters: "U

tortion in this context reflect Mr.
Ball's own surprising misunder-
standing and misconception inso-

Jobs bil
faces stiff
WASHINGTON W)-The year-
long Senate drive to enact' a big
government jobs program for low-
income and unemployed Amer-
icans seems to have reached a
dead end.
Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa),
author of the major jobs bill,
conceded in an interview that he
sees only a slim chance for the
proposal now that final adjourn-
ment of Congress is near.
Clark noted that he had cut
back sharply on the plan he ori-
ginally introduced in the Senate
last February. But this has not
been enough to persuade Senate
leaders to schedule action on the
proposal, opposed by the Johnson
administration.
Clark conducted extensive hear-
ings on the measure before a
labor subcommittee he heads and=
won wide support for it from a
variety of groups. But the admin-
istration. fought it because of the
budgetary bind resulting from the
Vietnam war.
The Pennsylvanian was unable
to get a favorable vote from the
full Labor Committee, however,
because of the press of other busi-
ness and absenteeism in that
panel.
He then turned to the strategy
of offering it as a floor amend-
ment to a'bill extending the man-
power training . rogram which al-
so seeks to aid the unemployed by
increasing their skills.
This legislation has been before
the Senate since July but Demo-
cratic Leader Mike Mansfield of
Montana has declined to call it
up for action.
Mansfield told a reporter he is
unlikely to do so as long as the
threat of a jobs amendment hangs
over it.
Clark said he is quite willing to
enter into an agreement to limit
debate on his proposal but that he
is not going to abandon it.
