I THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION, under intense pressure
fromTCongress, big cities, and governors announced anrabrupt
change in its food stamp policy.
Congress originally appropriated $2.2 billion for food stamps last
year but the administration had planned to limit the spending to $2
billion.
The cut would have deprived the low income families on the border
of federal poverty limits of food stamps. Now the entire appropria-
tion will be spent.
The decision was made to prevent hardship, according to admin-
istration spokesmen.
Nationally, 10.9 million people are receiving the stamps. The
stamps are bought for $4.50 and can buy $10 of groceries.
POLICE BATTLED STUDENTS at Madrid University yester-
day in the worst rioting on campus in three years.
Scores of students were injured as police smashed them to the'
ground. University directors were planning to meet today to discuss
whether to close the university.
The violence erupted when medical students, many of them
suspended in an academic disagreement with the university admin-
istration, attempted to stage a demonstration.
Students have declared the strikes nonpolitical but leaflets calling
for an "end to dictatorship" were being distributed.

WEST COAST LONGSHOREMEN went out on strike again
yesterday morning on the order of Harry Bridges, their 70-year-old
leader who acted in the face of threatened federal intervention.
The White House responded by declaring that it would press Con-
gress for legislation to end the strike.
The strike has been particularly harmful to farmers who cannot
sell their products in foreign markets. Agriculture Secretary Earl
Butz said "millions of dollars" have been lost by farmers since the,
strike began last July 1.

PAKISTANI PRESIDENT ALI BHUTTO said yesterday he
would make Sheik Mujibur Rahman "president, prime minister
or whatever he wants" to bring Bangladesh back and "preserve
Pakistan's oneness."
The offer came after Sheik Mujib, Bangladesh's prime minister,
had accused West Pakistan troops of slaughtering three million people:
during his country's fight for independence. The Sheik has vowed he
will never reunite the two countries.

Devalued dollar continues to
plummet in European nations

LONDON (A) - The dollar
slumped to new lows in Europe
yesterday amid signs that, de-
valuation a month ago had
failed to restore confidence in
U.S. currency.
The dollar hit its lowest levels
since devaluation in Britain,
West Germany and Switzer-
land during the day. It was be-
low parity in Germanyvbut still
above the danger level that
could threaten another devalua-
tion.
Dealers here and on the Con-
tinent said the dollar decline
was evidence that the Washing-
ton international monetary
agreement of Dec. 18, which in-
cluded devaluation, had been
only partly successful in re-
solving the international mone-
tary crisis.

"There is just not enough con-
fidence in the dollar to keep it
from falling," a German source
said. Last month's agreement in
Washington, he predicted, "may
just turn out to have been a
reprieve before the next crisis."
The Washington package "was
not the final answer to the
dollar's problems," a wviss
banking source said.
In London, where dollar sell-
ing was particularly heavy,
foreign exchange dealers pre-
dicted the dollar would remain
weak until the U.S. Congress
passes the necessary bill to de-
value the dollar against gold.
They said doubts about the
bill's prospects, because of re-
cent statements by Treasury
Secretary Connally, had added
td the dollar's weakness. Con-
nally has stated that the bill
would not be given to Congress
until trade agreements have
been reached.
Other reasons cited for the dol-
lar's weakness were the lack
of dollars being sold by specu-
lators. the low interest rates in
the United States, the pur-
chasing of foreign currencies by
the Federal Reserve as repay-
ment for a defend-the-dollar
swap agreement and the less
than anticipated sales of ex-
port goods since the devaluation.
In economic news at home,
industrial production scored a
solid gain in December, signal-
ling a possible quickening of the
nation's economic pulse, the
Federal Reserve Board said yes-
terday.
The board said its Industrial
Production Index, one of the
major economic indicators, rose
by 0.7 per cent last month, with
almost half of the increase re-
flecting a recovery in coal pro-
duction from an industrywide
strike.
The report, however, still
showed that the economy is suf-
fering from considerable slack
and that output of the nation"s
factories, mines and utilities is
rising less than would be ex-
pected during a strong economic
recovery.
It also began to hear a consti-
tutional challenge to capital pun-
ishment on the grounds that it is
cruel and unusual punishment.
The decision, expected before
June, may decide the fate of 694
men and women awaiting execu-
tion in 34 states.
The school segregation action
was brought by the NAACP Legal
Defence and Educational Fund in
a controversy concerning the Den-
ver school system. The city has a
large number of blacks and Span-
ish-speaking minorities.
Lower federal courts have
granted the two minority groups
some desegregation action, but the
fund,: speaking for them, con-
tends it is not enough. They want
about a dozen more of the city's
117 public schools deeply inte-
grated,
The Supreme Court's desegrega-
tion decisions have come against
a background of Southern laws
separating the races in the pub-
lic schools.
Denver and Colorado never have
hadesuch laws, but the fund and
the minority families it represents
will argue that Denver school of-
ficials pursued segregation policies
in the way they built the schools,
arranged attendance zones and
bused white children.
The civil rights organization
takes the position this is just as
unconstitutional as the way
Southern. school officials acted
out old segregation laws.
Similar arguments have been
used by advocates of school de-
segregation in Detroit and Rich-
mond. In Detroit, Judge Stephen
Roth has ruled that housing pat-
terns and school construction pol-
icies constitute de facto segrega-
tion.,
Denver has about 97,000 public
school children. About 20,000 have
Spanish last names and about
14,000 are Negroes.
The court will set a date for
an oral argument later, with a
ruling expected by the _ end of
June. Yesterday's announcemert
said nothing about the issues in-
volved.
In the cVhath penalty case, it
was the first time the court has
heard arguments on A constitu-
tional challenge to capital pun-
ishment.
"The death penalty is virtually
repudiated and condemned by the
conscience of contemporary so-
ciety," attorney Anthony Amster-
dam argued in one bf the four
cases that served as F vehicle to
bring the issue before the court.
Amsterdam represents a man con-
demned for murder in California.
