FBI officers in Phoenix, Ariz.
yesterday arrested Andrew Man-
uel, Jr., a former roommate of
John Collins, the accused murder-
er of Eastern Michigan University
coed Karen Beineman.
Manuel was charged with inter-
state flight to avoid prosecution
for larceny. FBI director J. Ed-
gar Hoover issued a statement
yesterday which announced the F
arrest and said Manuel did not
offer any resistance.,
Police have said Manuel trav-
eled to Salinas, Calif, with Collins
in a rented trailer. Ypsilanti of-
ficials earlier this week issued a
warrant for Manuel's arrest on
charges of larceny by conversion
for failing to return the trailer.
California officials are investi-
gating the possibility that Manuel
and Collins might have been in-
volved in two murders in the Sa-
linas area. Salinas police have
possession of the rented trailer
which has been investigated by
Michigan state police for possible
connecting evidence with the Ann
Arbor-Ypsilanti area slayings:
Although the state police offi-
cers have said there is little evi-
dence linking the trailer with any
of the local murders, there has
reportedly been evidence related
to the murder of University coed
'Alice Kalom found in it.
Salinas police, however, sayI
they have reason to believe that
Collins, and possibly Manuel, may
be connected with the murder of Senators Mansfield,0

Key amendments
lose 50-50, 51-49
WASHINGTON (A') - President Nixon's Safeguard anti-
ballistic missile defense system narrowly survived its crucial
first tests in the Senate yesterday.
Although more congressional tests lie ahead before Safe-
guard can become a fact, the system's supporters showed they
have the muscle to turn back most challenges for the time
being.
The key proposals for modification turned back yesterday
by votes of 50-50 and 51-49 would have barred deployment
but allowed continued research and development.
A vote was set for today on yet another amendment of-
fered by Sen. Thomas J. McIntyre (D-NH) to permit erec-
tion of radar and computers on the missile sites but bar de-
ployment of the missiles.
Senators have the option of proposing even more amend-
ments on the Safeguard in the weeks ahead, although no oth-
ers have been offe'ed yet.
And even if the Safeguard
proposal is still in the $20 bil-
lion military procurement au-
thorization bill when the bill
reaches a final v o t e which
could be many weeks off,
Congress must still pass a sep-
arate appropriations bill for
construction to start.
-Associated Press The votes were the closest --
after the ABM votes on a national security issue
since the House extended the w
draft by a one-vote margin in
1941.
Some Safeguard opponents
had warned that the razor-
thin margins registered would
present Nixon with a hollow Margaret Chase Smith
victory, but a White House
spokesman said the President was pleased.
"He's very pleased, of course, but he's issuing no state-
ment," said the spokesman.
The climatic votes came on two amendments with differing
them-in several cases, couches in wording but largely similar purposes.

Although fees have not yet been
determined for the last week, they
will range somewhere between
$1.50 and $2.50 a night, Beth
Chaffee, a counselor at the Inter-
national Center, said yesterday.
Rooms in South Quad before reg-
istration will cost $3 a night.
Neither of these arrangements in-
cludes provisions for meals.
Miss Chaffee said a total of
about 150 incoming foreign stu-
dents are expected to use these
temporary housing facilities.
She added that temporary
housing in South Quad provides
the students with an opportunity
to make friends with both Amer-
ican and other foreign students.
Often, she added, foreign students
make living arrangements with
people they meet while living at
South Quad. -

garet Chase Smith (R-Me) to bar any further spending except
for components such as radars and computers.
When the roll call ended in a 50-50 tie, Vice President
Spiro T. Agnew cast a vote against the amendment, although
a tie vote defeats an amendment.
Then the senators voted 51-49, with Mrs. Smith switching
to the "Nays," to kill the amendment of Senators John Sher-
man Cooper (R-Ky) and Philip A. Hart (D-Mich). The
amendment would have barred deployment and site-acquisi-
tion but continued research on the entire system.
Mrs. Smith lost by 89-11 her earlier amendment to ban
practically all work on the ABM.
Sen. John C. Stennis (D-Miss), floor manager of the ABM
proposal, appealed for the Safeguard system in terms of sup-
porting President Nixon.
"We're going to jerk the rug out from under him and not
give him anything to stand on except a lot of words," Stennis
said, referring to forthcoming arms control talks with the
Soviet Union.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga), dean of the Senate and
former chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said
Mrs. Smith's amendment would kill the Safeguard system
and bar further testing of its components.
"This strangles it in the crib," said Russell.
But backers of the Smith amendment insisted that it
would permit the Pentagon to continue to use the various
parts of the Safeguard system in research and test efforts to
develop an improved missile defense.
Symington said the solution is simple.
"I suggest that we do now what we've done six times be-
fore and change the name to the Lifeguard system and then
everything will be all right for research and development,"
Symington said.

Weeks said the woman "willing-
ly" answered his questions when
he visited her home. He added
that he first went to speak to the
tenant accompanied by another
housing commission m e m ber,
Elizabeth Barlow, but did not find
the woman at home.
