Y S the - news today by T he Associated Press and College Press Service A BRITISH OFFICIAL flew to Lagos yesterday to discuss possible moves toward peace in the Biafran war. Britain's minister in charge of African affairs will also discuss relief for civilian victims of the fighting. The last contact between senior British and Nigerian officials was in March when Prime Minister Harold Wilson went to Lagos in an unsuccesful attempt to bring the two warring sides together in peace talks. ARTHUR GOLDBERG, former Supreme Court justice, pro- posed yesterday that President Nixon name a blue ribbon panel to probe U.S. conduct in the Vietnam War. He and a group of jurists suggested that such figures as former Chief Justice Earl Warren, Gen. Matthew Ridgway and Elbert Tuttle were men of "unquestionable impartiality" suitable to serve as investigators. The key issue, sponsors of the investigative proposal said, "should be to determine whether the war is being conducted in accordance with international and national laws regarding humanitarian treat- ment of civilians." GEORGE ROMNEY, Secretary of Housing, has announced he will free $340 million in special urban renewal money that has been under a controversial seven-month freeze. Romney said 35 cities already participating in the Neighborhood Development Program will receive $175 in the current fiscal year, The NDP is a special program providing renewal funds on a! yearly rather than long-term basis. Cities that convert their long- term renewal fund commitment into short-range NDP money will receive an estimated $30 to $40 million, the secretary said. The NDP program was frozen by the Nixon administration April 30 because demand threatened to go far beyond the renewal money supply. Guidelines for its use have now been agreed on. U.S. RED CHINESE diplomatic talks may be reopened after a lapse of over 22 months. Reportedly, the Nixon Administration proposed the reconvening through its Ambassador to Warsaw Walter Stoessel. Stoessel spoke briefly with a Chinese Communist diplomat after attending a Yugo- slav fashion show in Poland's Palace of Culture. He presented the Chinese diplomat with an informal message stating that the United States is ready to resume the talks as soon as1 the Chinese are willing to do so. State Department press officers'said only "they had a few words.'"' Ambassadorial talks between Washington and Peking started in Geneva in 1955, switching to Warsaw in 1958. The last meeting was held there in January 1968. CLEMENT IIAYNSWORTH, JR. will continue to serve as chief judge of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, President Nixon announced yesterday. Nixon said he told the judge about his philosophy that an indi- vidual cannot expect to avoid defeat but must accept it without fear. "The judge has suffered a defeat, but he is without fear," said Nixon. On Nov. 21 the Senate voted 55 to 45 to reject Nixon's nomina- tion of Haynsworth for associate justice of the Supreme Court. "No one likes to lose," said Haynsworth, "I don't. But I never have felt that a setback should be accepted as a final defeat of a man as a judge." PRESIDENT NIXON says he will call Congress back into session Dec. 26 if it does not complete action before Christmas on all appropriation bills. And House GOP Leader Gerald R. Ford adds that the President may also call Congress back the 26th if there is no "movement" be-4 forehand on his anticrime legislation. f The need for anticrime legislation was a major theme of Nixon's presidential campaign but none of his recommendations have gottenc very far in Congress. Ford expects Congress to adjourn sometime between the 20th and 24th for the Christmas holiday. 'AL 1 " a v v 4 Y %F American casualties pass 300,000 mark SAIGON M---American battlefield casualties have passed the 300,000 mark, the U.S. Command announced yesterday. Since Jan. 1, 1961, casualties have totalled 300,829. In nearly nine years of fighting, 39,642 men have been killed in action, 259,828 have been wounded, and 1,359 have been missing or captured. The U.S. Command said that 70 Americans were killed in Vietnam last week out of 1,049 casualties. U.S. headquarters said the death toll was the lowest in two months and 46 per cent less than the previous week's 130 dead. South Vietnamese totals were also down last week, with the government reporting 373,of its soldiers killed and 953 wounded. The allied commands claimed 2,177 Viet Cong and North Viet- namese were killed last week, compared with 3,220 the week be- fore. This brought the reported Viet Cong-North Vietnamese death toll since Jan. 1, 1961 to 577,445. Explaining the reduction in bat- tlefield deaths, the South V i e t- namese military command said Viet Cong and North Vietnamese activity was at its "lowest 1 e v e 1 since the beginning of the Com- munist winter-spring campaign" a month ago. Meanwhile, the U.S. Command announced that American planes attacked North Vietnamese forces in Cambodia for the second straight day. About 500 North Vietnamese attacked two South Vietnamese district towns after crossing into South Vietnam from Cambodia. American fighter-bombers pur- sued retreating North Vietnamese two and a half miles into Cam- bodia, smashing a Cambodian border post which South Vietnam- ese official said was being used by enemy artillery observers. The U.S. Command, which un- til recently has been cautious in references to air and artillery strikes into Cambodia, acknow- ledged the action Wednesday and Thursday.

Three members of the Panther party were charged with attempt- ed murder and aggravated battery in the predawn battle. The C o o k County-Chicago's- state's attorney's office said gun- fire erupted as investigators, car- rying a search warrant, raided an apartment shared by Hampton and Bobby Rush, another Panther official. The warrant charging illegal possession of firearms was issued in Circuit Court Wednesday after a witness testified he had seen "a large cache of shotguns and other weapons" in the building. Edward Hanrahan, state's at- torney, said seven handguns, seven shotguns and 1,000 rounds of am- munition were confiscated. One of the shotguns was stolen in April from a Chicago Police Department patrol car, he said. Hampton was among nine per- sons who opened fire on 13 mem- bers of a special prosecution unit of the state's attorney's office. Officials said the unit stormed through barricaded doors at the apartment. Sgt. Dan Groth, leader of the raid, said he twice pleaded with the occupants of the apartment to cease firing. But each time, he said, "a voice came from the back Uand shouted: shoot it out.'"
