Gen. John Mitchell yesterday testified *under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he was not involved in the Justice Department's sudden out-of- court settlement of three anti-trust suits against the Inter- national Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (ITT). Mitchell said he had disqualified himself froin taking part in the anti-trust action because his former law firm had advised an ITT subsidiary. He added, however, that he did meet with Harold Ge- neen, ITT president and chairman of the board, in Aug., 1970. At this meeting, Mitchell told the committee, he merely discussed Geneen's arguments that the Nixon administra- MVu skie falt ers Foreign ahidcould d today WASHINGTON (R) - All U.S. foreign-aid funds may be cut off at midnight tonight in a congres- sional dispute with the .administra- tion over documents on Cambodia, Rep. William Moorhead (D-Pa. ) said yesterday. Moorhead, chairman of the House foreign operations and government information subcommittee, told the House a routine staff request for usually classified documents on Cambodi? was surprisingly reject- ed by Agency f9r International De- velopment (AID) officials in Janu- ary. Later talks with AID officials, Moorhead said, "revealed that the documents being sought by the subcommittee were being withheld 'on instructions of 'a higher au- thority.' " It was subsequently made clear, he said, "that the or- ders to withhold camne from the White .House." Moorhead said he wrote Secre- tary of State William Rogers about the matter Feb. 9 and invoked a part of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. It provides for a cut-off of funds after a 35- day period unless the requested document is delivered or a certifi- cation is made by the President' setting forth his reason for not ;making it available." That period, he said, expires today. An aide said the worldwide amount of foreign aid involved is $2.7 billion. At the State Department,ean AID spokesman had no comment.. Moorhead said he hopes Presi- 'dent Nixon "will recognize the right of Congress to have the in- formation necessary to participate in the processes of I oenet but I am worried that he will not." The foreign aid bill in question was defeated when it first came to the Senate floor last fall, and vas only approved after lengthy deliberation and compromise. Several members of Congress, particularly Sen. J. William Ful- bright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have criticized the President for with-1 holding information from ; ongres- kional committees. Specifically, Nixon has been criticized for his policy of not forcing his advisor, Henry Kissinger, to testify before, Fulbright's committee. tion's prosecution of anti- trust cases against the ITT conglomerate had been too vigorous. "I assented to the meeting on the express condition that the pending litigation would not be discussed," Mitchell said. "Mr. Geneen agreed to this condition." He denied any knowledge of an alleged $400,000 pledge by ITT to help finance the Republican Na- tional Convention to be held in San Diego next Aug. Committee hearings on the ITT settlement began March 2 in re-t sponse to a report by syndicated. columnist Jack Anderson, based on' a memo by ITT lobbyist Dita Beard. Anderson called the ITT pledge a bribe offered to the Nixon Ad- ministration in exchange for a: favorable settlement of anti-trust suits which could have blocked ITT's proposed corporate merger- largest in America's history.

Kleindienst has testified that he played a role in events leading up to the Justice Dept.' decision to drop the anti-merger suits, but that he did not exert pressure himself to gain a settle-, ment. He has also denied that the fav-. orable settlement for ITT resulted: from its partial financing of the Republican National Convention. Mitchell said yesterday that he was unaware at the time of his meeting that Geneen was pressing his case elsewhere.

Prosecutor Albert Harris Jr. said he too accepted the jury. Davis, a co-attorney in her de- fense, said she believes "the wo- men and men sitting on the jury will put forth theii' best efforts to give me a fair trial."

Davis is not accused of being present at the shootout, but of furnishing the four guns used. a The seating of the jury came as a surprise because yesterday was only the 10th day of jury selec- tion. Attorneys for both sides had predicted it would take six weeks. Although there are no blacks on the panel, Davis said the jury did appear to reflect the county's pop- ulation, which is less than two per cent black. One jurist is Chi- cano. Yet Monday, defense attorney Howard Moore had assailed Har- ris for using a preemptory chal- lenge to drop a black woman from the tentatively selected panel. She had been the only black in the first group of 150 persons called for prospective jury service at the trial of the 28-year-old former philosophy teacher. The jury includes a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy whom Davis' attorneys tried unsuccess- fully to eliminate for cause after he said he believes the Communist party is bent on overthrowing the U.S. government. Davis is a Com- munist party member. President Nixon easily swept the Republican primary over two ri- vals and won all 40 national con- vention votes for renomination. Wallace piled up landslide leads in rural areas of Florida, as ex- pected. He led in the cities, too, and that was not anticipated. In Miami, where the counting lagged behind central and north-' err Florida, Wallace led, but, ran well short of 50 per cent. Muskie lagged in almost every: section of Florida.

DETROIT (W) - Stop the Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets (STRESS), a controversial pro- gram in which police officers are used as plainclothes decoys in high crime areas, may be head- ing for trouble. A $50,000 lawsuit was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court Monday against four STRESS officers who last November shot and killed a man they said was trying to rob them. And at the same time, police are investigating charges from a Highland Park woman that she was beaten by a STRESS officer after her daughter identified herself as a witness to a shoot- ing involving Detroit police and Wayne County'Sheriff's deputies. The suit contended the police- men intentionally shot Neil Bray last Nov. 13 without attempting to arrest him. Named ag defendants in the suit were Patrolmen Paul Van Wie, Phillip Kocinski, Raymond Peterson and Michael Worley. The suit was filed by the vic- tim's mother, Mildred Bray. The four officers were assign- ed to the controversial STRESS unit. The lawsuit said Bray was darrying a length of broomstick and approached officers Van Wie and Kocinski as they walk- ed along a street on Detroit's southwest side. According to the suit, the three had a short conversation and Bray struck Van Wie across the face with the broomstick. The complaint added Bray did not know the men were policemen and was provoked into the at- tack. Thersuit claimed that Van Wie, rather than, attempt to arrest Bray, pulled a revolver and shot Bray in the chest. While Bray lay on the ground, the suit said, officers Van Wie, Kocinski and Peterson fired more shots into the body. The suit said STRESS is illegal because it "entraps" people and "functions mainly in the inner city of Detroit where the popula- tion is predominantly black and- or of the lower economic class." The Wayne County Prosecu- tor's office investigated the in- cident and exonerated the police- men of any criminal acts. In the other STRESS case, the shooting occurred early last Thursday and involved five off- duty sheriff's deputies, a civil-in friend, and five Detroit police- men, three of whom are in the STRESS unit. There are conflicting reports on how the shooting started but the result was the death of Henrv Henderson nnr3 h+wva ~- Do ' By JIM FRISINGER Talk to a veteran and ask him there are any particular problems t he, as a vet, has to face.
