Although Thursday evening had progress- ed well into the eight-to-ten loading time there were no crowds or bull-horned organiz- ers to be seen --- just the busses and scattering of people wandering toward them. But the buses turned out to be nearly filled, and as people he "ound""and protest to us, WASHINGTON V - - Dean Burch, newly appointed chair- man of the Federal Commun- ications Commission, yester- day endorsed Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's charges of bias in network television newscasts. Burch, a Nixon appointee, said he thought the criticisms voiced by Agnew were thoughtful a n d provocative. Agnew had specifically assailed the way network commentators analyzed President Nixon's Nov. 3 speech to the nation on Vietnam policy. While the FCC does not directly supervise the networks, it d o e s have regulatory power because of its control over license renewal of broadcast stations owned by the networks or affiliated with them. Burch is scheduled to appear before the Senate communications subcommittee Dec. 1 to testify on broadcast license renewal proce- dlures. Countering some congressmen's criticisms of Agnew's speech, Burch said, "I think it was es- pecially noteworthy that the vice p~resident emphasized that he vwas not calling for government ceni- sorship but greater public partici- pation in examination of the net- work's performance." George Rommey, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, agreed with Burch in an attack yesterday on the news media in general. "T h e media is dominated," Romney said, "by t h e thought centers of New York and Wash- ington and by thought critics there who are of the new cul- ture." However Sen. Edward M. Ken- nedy, (D-Mass.) :tid the Agnew speech was "an attack with the ultimate aim of dividing thisi country" on the issue of the Viet- nam war. -Associated Press tfgnew in iDes Moines There's a place for you, at SOPH SHOW walked by they were invited quietly aboard. Buses chuffed and farted and the mobilization beegan. They were nice new Grey- hound busses with ventilation that didn't work, seats that made sleep impossible for all but the totally exhausted. They had the same old potato faced bus drivers who usually t a k e one to Syracuse. And the people in the bus. dressed for travel and standing in thne cold for long hours, were familiar too. Slightly more hirsute. But only slightly they were regular University students --- the sort of people one imagines when thinking of the sort of people he goes to school with. But those regular people were prepared for a pilgrimage. Sleeping bags filled the over- head rack and packages were all around. But "organization" was present, in the form of two marshals and they wanted more preparation. They . passed out mimeo- graphed sheets on every sub- Sj act imaginable -- maps, tele- tphone numbers, instructions and a little prose ditty on military research at Michigan. The sheets said where people should go and when and to write tele- phone nuambers on their hands. Thu one instruction the sheets repeated and the marshals em- p h a s i z e d concerned being peaceful. "This will be a peace- ful demonstration," they said and resaid. And then a warning -"There will be police agita- tors. Isolate them. Don't allow them to cause violence." There were warnings as well about how to keep things from gatting out of hand. Marchers were instructed to walk- -never run. "And don't stop. If there is a rumor that there is gas ahead deny it--- even if it is true." All the way to Washington therewere strong reminders that, a whole segment of the country was traveling there. Small cars passed the bus crowded with people and piled high in the windows with the ubiquitous sleeping bags. When the bus got to the first stop, a rest plaza on the Ohio Turnpike called Vermilion Val- ley. the evidence of mass move- ment became overwhelming. Scores of busses stood outside and waves of peace marchers ran through scattered snowball fights and jokes about the wea- ther. The plaza was overrun by a movement from across t h e country -- everyone was on the way to Washington. Back on the bus conversation began to loosen. First thoughts turned to violence. Wotuld it be and, if so, when and how? Most people ruled out mass violence. See WAR, Page 8 EsCi, constituents discuss war issues By hESTER PULLING Special To The Daily WASHINGTON - - Gripes, complaints, and criticism of Nixon's domestic and foreign policy were hashed over yesterday at an inform- al question-answer meeting with Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) j and his constituents at the Long-worth House Office Building. Esch said that meeting with his constituents was part of his con- tribution to the Nov. 14 and 15 peace demonstrations. Approximately 25 antiwar protesters of all ages attended the conference. One major complaint was Nixon's handling of the peace march - more explicitily the alleged scare tactics used to keep down attend- _ance levels.

Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee yester- day, Laird also said President Nixon's lottery draft plan could be ptt into effect "by Jan. 1 or soon thereafter" if it wins expected early congressional approval.

The program, a target of congressional criticism because of spi- raling costs, will be cut from the original objective of 120 planes to 81. The cutback action comes as the Defense Department presses a campaign to cut spending this year and to compress the next de- fense budget, now being prepared for presentation to Congress in January. The 39 planes being dropped from the program would have furn- ished an additional two squadrons for fast movement of heavy mill- tary equipment to distant overseas points in crisis. SEN. LEN JORDAN (R-Idaho) announced he will vote Against the conformation of Clement Haynsworth to the Supreme Court. Jordan said Haynsworth has shown poor judgment in his outside business activities, although he had no quarrel with his judicial philo- sophy. The announcement, which had been expected, confronted the Nixon administration with the loss of another conservative GOP vote. An Associated Press survey shows 23 senators still publicly un- committed with 40 senators now aligned against Haynsworth and 37 supporting the nomination, THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT told the Vietnam allies it will withdraw the 1,500 man Phillines Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) from South Vietnam before January.
