Budget A roved
House Committee Asks $70.3 Billion;
Floor Actio n Expected Next Week

'LIBERTY' ACCIDENT:
U.S. Casualty Figures Rise;

WASHINGTON (P)-The biggest
defense money bill ever proposed
when the nation was not formally
at war emerged yesterday from the
House Appropriations Committee.
The $70.3-billion measure was
sent to the House Floor for debate
next Tuesday. Accompanying it is
a committee directive to the Pen-
tagon to defer plans for realign-
ment of National Guard and Army
Reserve units.
The committee cautioned that
the 1968 bill might not be large

MOSCOW (P-An unprecedent-
ed display of Soviet police power
held some 1,500 angry Arab,
Cuban, and North Vietnamese stu-
dents back from the U.S. and Brit-
ish embassies yesterday, frustra-
ting a planned Middle East dem-
onstration.
"Johnson is a dog," the dem-
onstrators chanted as they march-
ed through the heart of Moscow
between the two embassies. .
Fights swirled among the stu-
dents as some tried to rally their
comrades to storm the army and
police picket lines.
They were forcibly restrained by
student leaders and, apparently,
some Russian plainclothesmen
who insisted they must obey the
new Kremlin rules for demonstra-
tions.
The last similar demonstration
which got out of hand was in
March 1965. Then North Vietnam-
ese, Chinese and Cuban students
battered the U.E. Embassy with
stones and ink bottles, and had
to be dispersed by hastily called
soldiers.
Soviet authorities gave permis-
sion for yesterday's demonstration
but took steps to control it that
were more stringent than in any
recent instance.
The first line of defense against
the demonstrators was more than
1,100 Red Army soldiers lined up
two deep with their back to army
trucks parked bumper to bumper.
The students waved their fists,
then waved their shoes, and
chanted slogans at the embassy.
The slogans were lost in the noise
of traffic.
Signs and banners in Arabic,
Russian, French and Spanish de-
nounced U.S. and British policy in
the Middle East. The Vietnamese
carried signs accusing the United
States of aggression in Vietnam.
An American spokesman said
later the embassy-which had
metal shutters installed after the
1965 demonstration-was satisfied
with the Soviet protection.

George H. Mahon (D-Tex) said
the amount is what the Pentagon
said should be adequate unless
conditions change.
The bill would provide financing
for the Defense Department for
the fiscal year starting July 1 and
includes $20.3 billion for use in
Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
Added to an estimated $43.7 bil-
lion in carry-over funds, it would
give the military $114 billion, not
all budgeted for expenditure next
year.
Not since fiscal year 1944, when
World War II was at its height
has Congress received a bigger bill
for defense. The Army and the
Navy were given $86.4 billion in
new appropriations that year.
Cut Request
Despite the near-record total,
$1.29 billion was cut from Presi-
dent Johnson's request. But the
committee said none of this reduc-
tion will hamper the war effort in
Vietnam.
The bill exceeds current year
defense appropriations by $65.6
million.
The cemmittee's move to block
at least temporarily Pentagon
plans to realign National Guard
and Reserve units is in a formal
report but not in the bill itself.
Written at the suggestion of
Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes (D-Fla),
a Reserve major general, the lan-
guage directs the Pentagon to de-
fer the realignment until "such
time as formal legislative expres-
sion can be made in the matter."
Announced Last Week
The realignment plan announced
last week would eliminate 1,300
National Guard and Reserve units,
including 15 half-strength divi-
sions in the National Guard. '
While the language of the com-
mittee report does not have the.
force of law, it would, if approved,
express the intent of Congress.
And the Pentagon would risk
trouble on Capitol Hill if it ignored
it.
The bill, itself would finance
military personnel with an overall,
all-service strength of 3,464,3021
by the end of June 1968.

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT GAMAL ABDEL NASSER, right, yesterday announced that he was re-
signing as head of state in favor of his companion, Vice President Zakaria Mcheiddin, left. Nasser,
however, said he was not submitting his formal resignation for approval by Egypt's National Assem-
bly until today. In meetings directly following Nasser's resignation statement, the National Assembly
declared that the public still wanted Nasser as President.

The apparent downfall of Egypt's
Gamel Abdul Nasser indicates new
woes for the Arab world and new
troubles for the big powers in their
search for some semblance of
stability in that sensitive part of
the world.
Nasser, for all his shortcoming,
has dominated the Arab Stage. No
Arab at this moment could take
his place or even approach the
stature he has enjoyed. That
means a prospective vacuum of
leadership promising turmoil.
The history of Nasser is a his-
tory of tragedy. He was the per-

Court Decides Florida Must
Repay Seminoles for Lands

WASHINGTON (M)-The Seminole
Indians scored a major victory
yesterday in a long legal war with
the U.S. government over land
taken from them more than 100
years ago.
The Seminoles, the Federal
Claims Court here decided un-
animously, have established their
original ownership of almost all of
Florida-32 million acres-and
must be paid accordingly.
The payments total as much as
$40 million if the case is finally
settled in the Indians' favor.

INCREDIBLE THEI
SHRINKING M
MAN Retur
UNCUT!
UNCENSORED!

The tribe held the land in 1821
when Spain ceded Florida to the
United States. Two years later the
government ordered the Indians
off 28 million acres, set aside a 48
million acre reservation for them
in central Florida, and awarded
the $152,500.
Later, when the government
tried to move the Indians west of
the Mississippi, they rebelled.
Joined by a group of runaway
Negro slaves, they fought a bloody
seven-year war with the federal
government in which 1,500 U.S.
soldiers were killed.
No treaty ever was signed and
3,824 Seminoles and Negroes were
sent to Oklahoma. Some fled into
the Florida Everglades, where
about 1,300 now live.
Though the tribe has largely
been dispersed, Judge Linton M.
Colins said for the court, its right
to the land and adequate pay-
ment survives.
"Cultural assimilation extin-
guishes the identity, but not the
people," Collins said in ruling
against the government.
The Indian Claims Commission's
grant of Indian title to the Sem-
inoles in 1964 "must be upheld,"
he concluded.
The parts of Florida for which
the government need make no
payment under the ruling involved
parcels sold by the Seminoles{ in
1804, lands deeded the English by
the Creeks in 1765, and land cov-
ered by Spanish grants.

a modern world-of recapturing
some of their lost ancient glories.
The search for a Pan-Arab
identity, at best an elusive goal,
was the motivation behind Nasser.
He described his Egypt as being at
the center. of two geographic
circles, the Arab world and Africa.
"For some reason," he wrote,
"it seems that in the Arab circlt
there is a role wandering aimless-
ly."
Blames West
He tried to fill that role. Na-
tionalists rallied to him because
he had thumbed his nose at the
United States and the West.
For Arabs blamed them not only
for the creation of Israel but for
virtually all their miseries.
He plagued the existence of
King Hussein of Jordan and the
royal house of Saudi Arabia. He
was behind the scenes of many a
crisis, many a coup, many a rev-
olutionary uprising.
Suez Crisis
Nasser was a thorn in the side
of Britain and France when he
nationalized the Suez Canal in
1956. This provoked themtoajoin
with Israel to attack and humili-
ate him. The idea then was to
bring Nasser down,
It failed, first because of Soviet
and U.S. intervention and second
because the participation of Paris
and London in the plot that ex-
cused Nasser's defeat and made
him a hero all over again.
He seized the canal, he made it
stick and he madeait run effici-
ently in spite of all the gloomy
predictions from Europe and the
United States that the Egyptians
would make a mess of it.
Cheers Muted
There would have been cheering
in Europe and America 11 years
ago if Nasser had fallen then. The
cheers are likely to be more muted
now "since it will compound the
confusion left by the war. Not the
least of the dangers, it likely will
generate revolutionary unrest in
other Arab areas against existing
regimes.
That means that in the long run
Nasser's fall could hurt those in
the West who once were eager to
see him downed. It could mean
an additional threat to the oil
Western Europe gets from the
Arab East, should the departure of
Nasser set off a chain reaction.
The Arabs will be feeling be-
trayed on all sides, the revolu-
tionaries among them prey to
desperation.

For Egypt, the defeat in the war
and the fal of the man revered
by many fellaheen (the peasants)
spells more tragedy.
Even though he spent much of
the country wealth on arms, he
tried also to point it toward the
day when it would be lifted from
the ranks of sick nations.
The embittered Arabs could
blame the Russians for much of
their troubles. Soviet arms and
what they took as indications of
Soviet support emboldened them
to make their gamble in courting
war with Israel,
When the Russians backed
away, choosing to avoid deep world
crisis, the rug was pulled from
under Nasser and the Arabs.
Moscow had found Nasser a
risky i.vestment. Evidently, the
Kremlin had little faith in his
ability to stand up to total war
against Israel. Probably the Rus-
sians played a big role in pres-
suring him to accede to a cease-
fire.
Once Nasser was obliged to do
that, he was, so far as his claim
to Arab leadership was concerned,
already finished.

Louise Day Hicks, school com-

For several months last year,
the State Board of Education and
the school committee were dead-
locked over an acceptable plan for
racial balance.
Before final agreement was
reached in March, State Education
Commissioner Owen B. Kiernan
had ordered some $16 millon with-
held by the state from the city.
When the committee submitted an
acceptable plan, the funds were
released to Boston.
A move to repeal the measure
was defeated in the Massachusetts
House on April 26.
