Feb. 23 and March 24 are the

steering maneuvers, they are to
fly within 2,000 miles of Mars

Both are to gather scientific
information and relay television

the current year.
A total of $45.4 million is al-
loted to two Mars Orbiting Ve-
hicles slated for launching in
1971. This is an increase of $27
million over fiscal 1969 funds
for the project,
These two probes are to orbit
1,000 miles above t h e Martian
surface and help scientists se-
lect suitable landing sites for
two Project Viking payloads
planned for 1973 launches. Forty
million dollars is asked for the
project next year, with the to-
tal cost expected to reach 10
times that figure.
Three million dollars is re-
quested to start development of
a Mariner craft that would
swing by both Venus and Mer-
cury in 1973, snapping pictures
of both planets. The mission is
expected to eventually cost $87
million.
NASA is asking $8 million as
a start for a series of five plane-
tary explorers which would or-
bit Venus and Mars during the
next decade. They would pro-
vide scientific information at a
total runout cost of $133 million.
The grand tour proposal is a
dream scientists have harbored
for years. Between 1977 an d
1979, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune will be lined up in

No money is requested for the
grand tour in fiscal 1970. Dr.
John Naugle, NASA associate.
administrator for space science
and applications, said such a
mission can not be planned ade-
quately without more informa-
tion on the meteoroid belt be-
yond the orbit of Mars and on
the atmosphere of Jupiter.
Naugle says it is hoped this
information c a n be obtained
from two Pioneer probes sched-
uled for launching into orbit
around the sune in 1972.'
Naugle said several payload
possibilities a r e being studied
for a grand tour. He said 1,600
pounds could be launched by a
Titan 3D-Centaur rocket at a
cost of about one billion dollars.
He said a m u c h larger craft
could be carried by a Saturn 5
using a nuclear-powered upper
stage, but he had no estimate on
the cost of such an ambitious
mission.
"It would take the payload
about 10 years to reach the far-
thest of the four planets, Nep-
tune.
No money is requested in the
budget for manned missions to
the planets. Dr. George Mueller,
NASA associate administrator,
for manned space flight, said,
however, "there have been stud-
ies made of what would be re-
quired to carry out manned pla-
netary expeditions."
Officials said flights to the vi-
cinity of Mars or Venus might
be feasible in the 1980s.

the
news today
by T he Associated Press and College Press Service
PRESIDENT NIXON is considering possible U.S.-Sov-
iet Union action to de-escalate'the Middle East crisis and
to limit nuclear arms.
. Concerned that a new eruption of Arab-Israeli warfare
could lead to a confrontation between the nuclear powers,
Nixon said at his news conference Monday that new initiative
is needed to cool off the situation in the Middle East.
Nixon emphasized the importance of settling Middle East-
ern and other outstanding political problems at the same time
as the prospective nuclear arms talks.
The Soviet Union has called for action on both issues also.
The U.S. has stalled the arms talks since last summer because
of the Soviet march into Czechoslovakia.
PAKISTANI TROOPS cracked down yesterday on dis-
orders in Peshawar, near the Khyber Pass, and quiet was
restored quickly according to government officials.
Radio Pakistan said police fired tear gas to disperse a
crowd in Peshawar. The crowd was trying to start a protest
march in defiance of a ban on public gatherings.
The Pakistani government announced that all schools in
Peshawar will be closed indefinitely. Students have* been in
the forefront of months-long demonstrations a ni d rioting
across the country for governmental reforms.
PRESIDENT NIXON told Republican congressional
leaders yesterday that he wants the 10 per cent income
surtax continued, more money to fight crime, and author-
ity to reorganize government agencies.
Senator Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said that the ad-
ministration's legislative program will probably be in the form
of individual bills accompanied by messages from Nixon out-
lining the reasons for them.
Legislation aimed at crime will get high priority and may
reach Congress later this week.
" . "
SENATE BACKERS of a move to ease the filibuster
rule lost yesterday for the second time this session.
Fifty senators voted to end debate and 42 against - 12
short of the required two-thirds margin to stop debate - on
a rules change that would permit filibusters to be cut off by
a three-fifths majority of the senators voting.
The vote marked the second time in less than two weeks
that reform backers failed to muster the necessary votes to
cut off debate in a rules fight that broke "out shortly after
Congress convened.
* . *
THE SHIFT in the emphasis of the Vietnam war from
the battlefield to the peace table should cause a major
cutback in U.S. arms production this year.
Defense officials say their department's budget projec-
tions through Dcember of this year show a $1,.3 billion drop
in orders for both air and ground ammunition.
Both the halt in the bombing over North Vietnam last
November and a slackening of the ground war in the South
have reduced munition consumption projections from last
year's $7.4 billion level.
SIGNS FOR ANOTHER DEADLOCK in the Vietnam
peace talks emerged yesterday.
A National Liberation Front spokesman has already dis-
missed President Nixon's comment that the talks were off to
a good start and that progress depended upon what the NLF
and North Vietnamese would do in response to U.S. proposals.
Despite American hopes for progress, few on the scene
expected little more than a standoff.
CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER for the Nixon administra-
tion, Jerris Leonard, has cut ties with two all-white clubs.
Leonard, a long time Wisconsin legislator known for be-
ing favorable to civil rights legislation, is already under fire
for membership in another whites-only organization.
He is expected to face questioning on the issue today
when Senate hearings begin concerning his appontment to
head the Justice Department's civil riglhts enforcement
branch as assistant attorney general.
GROWING SIGNS, yesterday, pointed that conserva-
tive Communist forces, seeking a showdown struggle with
liberal Czech leaders, were trying to discredit Jan Palach's
fire suicide.

Liberal sources said pro-Soviet elements were contending
that Palach was forced to kill himself for propaganda against
the Russian occupation.
One pamphlet, circulated at a recent nmeeting of Com-
munist party members, asserted that Palach intended to use
a special nonlethal fluid, called "cold fire," but someone had
substituted gasoline.
