A DENTIST was given a fifteen-year prison sentence Monday
for helping young men escape the draft by fitting them with
unnecessary braces.
Judge Andrew Hauk, imposed the stiffest sentence possible but
hinted that he might reduce it after a psychiatric study of the den-
tist, Dr. Bernard Bender, was completed.
In his remarks, the judge implied that there was something
psychological wrong with a man who engaged in crimes like Bender's
and said the crime, "smacked of treason."

story
WASHINGTON (P1)-- President Nixon gave congressional
leader, report on his visit to China, yesterday, and at the
same time announced that Chinese Premier Chou En-lai had
invited Senate leaders Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) and Mike Mans-
field (D-Mont.) to visit China at a mutually convenient time.
Th chief executive followed the 90-minute meeting with
21 Republican and Democratic House and Senate leaders with
a separate session for his Cabinet.
White House spokesmen did not immediately give details
of the congressional and cabinet meetings, but Nixon appear-
ed to be making an effort to soothe conservatives fretting
about his pledge to ultimately withdraw all U.S. troops from
Taiwan.--

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN Lawrence O'Brien
called yesterday for a re-examination of the nomination of Rich-
ard Kleindienst as attorney general.
O'Brien's claims Wyere made in response to new evidence which
indicates that Kleindienst may have been involved in a Justice De-
partment decision which gave a favorable anti-trust settlement to
the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. in exchange for
a company pledge to underwrite costs for the Republican Convention.
SEN. GEORGE MC GOVERN (D.-S.D.) made public Mon-
day a list of people who have contributed money to his presi-
dential campaign.
The list included over 42,000 names and the amounts of money
each person contributed.
The largest contribution was $25,000, but the overwhelming
majority were small donations of under twenty dollars.
Such a breakdown is unusual in political campaigns as most
--- candidates receive their funds in large amounts from a small num-
o ber of people.
THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION yesterday rejected a pro-
posal by Sen. Edward Kennedy- (D-Mass.), which called for
some U.S. involvement in the crisis in Northern Ireland.
The proposal, which was backed by about forty congressmen,
asked that Nixon offer US. mediation in the struggle. It also called
for an end to Catholic internment, withdrawal of British troops
and dissolution of the Ulster parliament.
In Great Britain, Home Secretary Reginald Maulding also criti-
cized the Kennedy plan.
THE SUPREME COURT was advised yesterday to assume an
immediate and commanding role in some interstate fights over ,
air and water pollution.
In three cases involving more than 30 states, the court was
urged to assume jurisdiction before the legal battles move through the
lower courts.
In one case, 19 states are suing all of the major automakers,
seeking to force them to install antipollution devices on 18 million
cars built between 1953 and 1968 when federal law first required
such devices on new autos..
Sponsors of the suit say that if they are forced to wait out the
normal appeal process, there would be irreparable damage to the
health of millions.

SENATE LEADERS Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), left, and Mike Mans-

nouncement that the two men 'had been invited to visit China
by Premier Chou En-lai.

BOlue Shield claims
doctrors overcharge
The pledge to withdraw troops
from Taiwan was included in the
communique issued at the end of
the President's visit. It said the
U.S. would progressively reduce
our forces from the island as ten-
sions are reduced.
There are currently less than
10,000 American troops stationed
on Taiwan. Nevertheless, certain
conservatives in Congress, see the
pledge as something of a sell-out
to our Asian allies.
According to presidential press
secretary Ronald Ziegler, Nixon's
remarks to the congressional lead-
ers contained essentially the same
information that was reported in
his Monday night television ad-
dress.
Sharp criticism of the Nixon visit
came yesterday from the Soviet
trade newspaper Trud which de-
scribed the trip as a publicity stunt
to capture votes in the upcoming
elections. It also accused the
Chinese leadership of "entering in-
to a dangerous plot with the rul-
ing circles of the United States."
The harsh statements made
about the visit by the Russian pap-
er were in sharp contrast to a
Tass report yesterday, w h i c h
stressed the large differences that
remain between the U.S. and
China.
In the trade paper's account,
the Chinese leadership was severe-
ly criticized for its silence about
U.S. aggression in Southeast Asia
during the Nixon visit.
In a reference to the banquet
Nixon gave for Premier C,;h o u
En-lai and other Chinese leaders

"Nixon proposed a toast, as he
put it, 'to the health of our child-
ren, and that they may have

From Wire Service Reports
Army surveillance of civilians
during the late sixties was even
more extensive than had been pre-
viously believed according to Sen-
ator Sam Ervin (D-N.C.)
In a brief filed with the Su-
preme Court, Ervin charged that
the army had watched the activi-
ties of numerous public officials,
including congressmen, governors,
and a supreme court justice.
A spokesman for the senator said
that the subjects included such
important political personalities as
Sens. Edmund Muskie (D-Me.),
George McGovern (D-S.D.), Ed-
ward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Su-
preme Court associate justice
I'hurgood Marshall.

WASHINGTON (1P) - Spokes-
men for Blue Shield announced
yesterday that according to
their studies, physicians charged
some $500 million in excess fees
last year.
An overcharger in the report
is defined as a doctor who bills
in excess -of the highest fee that
doctors in his area consider rea-
sonable. Blue ' Shield does not
pay fees which exceed this
standard.
The American Medical Asso-
ciation did not deny the figures
given in the Blue Shield report,
but said that the term over-
charge is misleading, because it
implies deliberate fraud on the
part of physicians.
AMA officials point to the
large amount of volunteer serv-
ices offered by doctors which
they say must also be taken into
account.
Some critics, however, say
Blue Shield's four per cent esti-
mate for overcharges is too low.
One of them, Max Fine, execu-
tive director of the Committee
for National Health Insurance,
maintains that doctor fees are
inflated 20 to 30 per cent.
Fine cites two surveys by the
government's Bureau of Labor
Statistics. One found that a
third of all physicians raised
their charges an average 21 per
cent on the eve of Medicare for
fear of subsequent cost controls.
