IN A VOTE nine short of the required two-thirds majority need-
ed, the Senate yesterday turned bask a move to cut off debate on
a bill to reinforce a federal ban on racial and other discrimination
in employment.
The key issue in the dispute is the authority the bill would confer
on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to issue cease-and-
desist orders to enforce its findings of job discrimination.
j THE PRICE OF GOLD soared to $48.25 an ounce in London
yesterday and hit record highs on free markets across Europe.
As soon as gold began climbing yesterday the dollar weakened on
foreign exchange markets.I
Gold dealers attributed the sharp rise in the price of gold to the
near absence of sellers in the market.
FEDERAL AND MANHATTAN PROSECUTORS have compiledI
a photograph album of present and former aids to Howard Hughes.
The authorities will ask Clifford Irving to try to identify one of
them as the "George Gordon Holmes" he claims served as a go-be-r
tween during the writing of an alleged Hughes autobiograph, it was
learned yesterday.
In Zurich, Swiss authorities said they have not decided whether
to seek extradition of Irving and his wife, Edith, for whom an arrest
warrant has also been issued.
EASY ABORTION and increased use of contraceptives are
pushing birth rates down in Communist East Europe causing gov-
ernmental concern, a western study indicated yesterday.
The study adds that the downswing in births may have been fur-
ther than expected and that attempts are now being made to reverse
the trend.-

HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER Gerald Ford of Michigan ac-
cused "key Democrats" in Congress yesterday of "dragging their
feet" on legislation to end the West Coast dock strike which has
lasted 115 days so far.
Although Ford did not give names he said he suspects "certain
Democrats in Congress are fearful of offending some of the leaders
of organized labor."

SCHORR CHARGES HARASSMENT

CBS newsman hits FBI

WASHINGTON (R) - CBS newsman Daniel Schorr yester-
day called the FBI's investigation of him "a form of harass-
ment" and added that most Americans would feel more com-
fortable if there were legal safeguards against what he termed
"an arbitrary intrusion into their lives."
White House officials refused to appear before a consti-
tutional rights subcommittee of Sen. Sam Ervin (D-N.C.), but
repeated in a letter disputed statements that Schorr was being
considered for a government job when the FBI investigation
began last Aug. 20.
Remarking that letters "can conceal more than they re-
veal," Ervin said that although the administration has in-
voked executive privilege in

declining to testify, he does
not believe an appearance
would cause the White House
to fall in ruins."
Schorr said the investigation was
ordered after his reporting
brought a series of complaints
from President Nixon, Sen. Rob-
ert Dole, (R-Kansas), the Repub-
lican national chairman, and White
House staff members.
"Job or no job, the launching of
such an investigation without con-
sent demonstrated an insensitivity
to personal rights," Schorr said.
He added that reports printed in
the Washington Post that he was
being considered for an executive
position on the Councilon Environ-
mental Quality were "news to
me," and that no one in the gov-,
ernment has ever told him dir,
ly he was being considered V
Job.
Later in the day, at the White
House, press secretary Ronald
Ziegler said Schorr had been un-
der consideration to be assistant
to the chairman of the Council
on Environmental Quality.
Ziegler indicated Schorr w a s
considered because the govern-
ment wanted to launch a program
to educate and inform the public
on ways individuals could nelp
protect the environment.
Schorr said he found himself in
a "no-win" situation, because tol
publicize his own problems w i t h
the administration could only tar-
nish his neutrality as a journalist.
He commented: "If the admin-
istration could push me into the
role of its open antagonist, t h a t
would serve its purpose as well
as, or better, than intimidating me
into pulling my punches."

Okla. judge
demands fall
integrationl
OKLAHOMA CITY (P) - In the
wake of recent crackdowns on de
facto school segregation an Okla-
homa federal judge yesterday or-
dered an integration plan into ef-
fcct next fall in Oklahoma ity,
saying his court "cannot and will
not tolerate further delay."
The plan, fought by the school
board, was proposed by the local
NAACP. The Oklahoma City de-
segregation case began 10 years
ago.
The new plan, drawn up by Dr.
John Finger Jr. of Providence, R.
I., would racially mix city schools
by new attendance zones for sen-
ior and junior highs and a net-
work of fifth-grade centers for
elementary schools.
Each high school attendance
zone would be drawn so that each
school enrolls both blacks and
whites.
The plan for junior highs calls
for black pupils to be transported
to outlying junior high schools.
For elementary schools, tle
court would group schools so that
pupils from presently black
schools would attend predomi-
nantly white schools for grades
1-4, and all fifth graders, both
white and black, would attend the
fifth grade at formerly black
"center" schools. All pupils would
begin junior high in the sixth
grade under the plan.

er in February, the month in
which allied officials say they
expect a major Communist of-
fensive.
On \the ground two U.S. sold-
iers were killed and four were

ed Communist forces in t h r e e
clashes 38 to 45 miles east of
Saigon between Monday noon and

Meanwhile, yesterday the
South Vietnamese command ack-
nowledged for the first time that

paign against Communist supply
and troop movements on the Ho
Chi Minh trail.
It reported eight strikes Mon-
day and said the Vietnamese air

force has been flying five to
10 sorties a day over the trail
without losing a plane.
The U.S. Command does not
announce numbers of strikes in
Laos, but sources have reported
200 to 250 strikes daily against
the trail network.
In Cambodia yesterday motor-
cycle - borne terrorists hurled
grenades into a Phnom Penh
temple used as a barracks by
Cambodian 'soldiers after i t s
Vietnamese owners fled the city.
Military sources said a Cambod-
ian major was killed and 26
soldiers -wounded.
Fighting in Cambodia w a s
concentrated in northeastern
provinces where the Cambod-
ians and Communist side clashed

DACCA W) - Fighting in
Bangladesh ended officially two
months ago with the surrender
of the Pakistan army, but civil
strife continues between the ma-
jority Bengalis and the minority
Biharis in two Dacca suburbs.
The Biharis are hated because
of their general support of the
Pakistan army during the nine-
month campaign to quell the
movement for Bangladesh inde-
pendence. Bihari youths made
up the ranks of the Razakars,
the Pakistani - recruited home
guards who the Bengalis say
were responsible for atrocities.
Of the estimated 1.5 million
Biharis in Bangladesh about
500.000 have taken refuge .,In
Mirpur a n d Mohammedpur.
Both suburbs are under curfew,
imposed after clashes.
The Bengalis are indigenous
to this area. The Biharis mi-

grated to what was then East
Pakistan from the nearby In-
dian state of Bihar after the
subcontinent was partitioned in
1947. Both groups are Moslem.
- The newsmen who toured
Mirpur, which has perhaps'
250,000 Biharis, were angirly
ejected by the Bangladesh ar-
my. They were told conflicting
stories of what was happening,
but there was no doubt that kill-
ing had taken place. Twenty-
two battered Biharis were be-
ing buried by fellow Biharis in a
mass grave. Biharis said 23 oth-
ers were killed during com-
munal strife and clashes with
the army over the past three
days.
No Bengali or army casualties
have been announced, but un-
official reports put the number
of soldiers killed and wounded
as high asf20.

segregation in which high school
pupils have their home and basic
subjects in a "base" school and
are bused to other high schools
for specialized courses.
The Oklahoma case parallels
the de facto segregation ruling
made in Detroit last September.
At that time District Judge Ste-
phen Roth said that the Detroit
school system constitutes actual
desegregation because it is based
on black/white residential dis-
tricts.
Roth advocates an interpendent
city-suburb integration plan rath-
er than the city-confined plan
passed in Oklahoma City.
