Female convicts and prisoners under 18 years of age were re- leased completely and those awaiting death sentences had their terms commuted to fourteen years of hard labor. In other developments in Bangladesh, it was reported that nearly half of the ten million refugees, who fled the country during the recent war have returned to their homes. *E* * THE HOUSE is expected to complete congressional action this week on a campaign spending reform bill. The bill which will probably emerge will represent a compromise that fully satisfies neither party. Its provisions call for closing some of the loopholes involved in spending. Specifically it sets a limit on the amount of money"a candidate can spend on media advertising and makes stricter requirements for disclosing campaign expenditures. BLACK RIOTS raged for the third straight day yesterday in the city of Gwelo Rhodesia. The riots were touched off by an agreement reached between Britain and the white government of Rhodesia which blacks feel will maintain white rule over the country indefinitely. Blacks are in the majority in Rhodesia, but hold only 16 of the 66 seats in Parliament. The new agreement would increase their representation, but would still be discriminatory in that it sets up property qualifications for voting. HOME BUILDING, a prime economic indicator, was at a record high in December, government officials reported yesterday. The December figures made 1971 the best year on record for housing starts and the total was 43 per cent above the 1970 mark. Administration spokesmen cited declining mortgage interest rates, availability of mortgage funds and an expanding economy as the prime reasons behind the housing boom. The housing news was a bright spot in an otherwise sluggish economic year. * * * SEVEN WESTERN GOVERNORS joined the Nixon adminis- tration yesterday in calling for quick congressional action to end the renewed West Coast dock strike. The governors cited the economic damage done to their states during last year's 100 day strike as motivation for their actions. Hawaii, which depends tremendously on the shipping lines, predicts that many of its small and medium size businesses will collapse if the strike is not settled in thirty days. Last year's strike was ended with a Taft-Hartley injunction, but the issues behind the strike were never resolved. MADRID UNIVERSITY suffered through its second day of riots as officials met to consider closing the university. Protesting students pelted police with stones, blocked traffic, and smashed windows. The trouble began Monday when police broke up a student dem- onstration at the university's medical school. School officials had suspended nearly 4,000 medical students the week before for refus- ing to obey an ultimatum calling for an end to a seven week boycott of classes. The boycott began over curriculum issues, but the police now blame the whole affair on Communist agitators within the university. 1a h'cks confront army An angry crowd of jeering demonstrators confront heavily armed army officers yesterday in Gwelo, Rhodesia. The blacks were protesting an agreement between the British and Rhodesian governments. (See News Briefs). SAFETY PROBLEMS A ntimollution cars founad unsatisfactory USSR vessels seized In Alaska by'Coast Guard By The Associated Press An incident involving two Russian fishing boats and the U.S. Coast Guard which could jeopardize already precarious U.S.-Soviet relations occurred yesterday off the coast of Alaska. The two Russian vessels, the Lamut and the Kolyvan, were accused by the Coast Guard of conducting illegal fish- ing operations within the U.S. 12 mile limit in international waters. The Coast Guard party boarded the Lamut to escort it back to the Alaskan Coast when the ship broke away from -Associated Press I DETROIT ;') - As a result of tougher federal laws govern- ing automobile pollution levels, Detroit automakers now say that 1972 cars will suffer a number of performance prob- lems including tough starts, stalling and increased gasoline consumption. In addition, a report recently presented to Congress by the National Academy of Sciences raised the possibility of safety problems resulting from the pol- lution adjustments. "The public may, be buying vehicles whose components are more likely to malfunction and whose driveability and reliability may not be satisfactory," said the report. "Severe driveability problems could have significant safety implications." , Prior to the passage of the 1970 Clean Air Act, automakers were devoting most of their en- ergies to technical details likq quicker starts and low gas con- sumption. Now in order to meet the 1975 deadline that calls for a 90 per cent reduction in pol- lution emissions, automakers say that other mechanical problems must be solved at the expense of performance. To meet the guidelines car- buretors must be set to allow more air and less fuel into the combustion chambers of thej cars' engines, thereby reducing polluting leftovers cast into the air as exhaust emissions. However, this also increases the chance that the driver will have to flip the starter three times before the engine catches and will have to idle the engine longer before it runs smoothly. New car engines are also de- signed to burn gasoline more completely to reduce pollutants blasted from the tailpipe. The heat used to burn thedfuel thor- oughly could be used to drive the car further. The result has been fewer miles per gallon of gasoline for most 1972 models. The National Academy of Sci- ences report blamed part of the problem on the limited test per- iod available to the auto manu- facturers. the American vessels. What ensued was a four-hour chase of the Russian vessel which ended when the Coast Guard threatened to fire a warning shot to stop it. The Russian ship was again taken into custody, and no injuries were reported to the Americans on board during the chase. The fishing incident comes only a few days after the expulsion of Rep. James Scheuer (D-N.Y.) from the Soviet Union on charges that he engaged in subversive ac- tivities. Specifically he was ac- cused of encouraging certain fami- lies to emigrate from the Soviet Union. In Anchorage, U.S. Attorney G Kent Edwards, said the vessels probably will be charged with 11- legal intrusion into American ter- ritorial waters. He also said that no charges were expected to be filed in connection with the chase Higher level government offi- cials also attempted to play down the importance of the incident. Presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the run-in with the Russian ships will have no effect on President Nixon's scheduled trip to Moscow which is presently set for May of this year This and a similarly low-keyed response from the State Depart- ment contrasted with the officia indignation that would have been expected from such encounters in cold war days. State Department Press Officer Charles Bray said "as a matter of courtesy we informed the Soviet embassy" of the Coast Guard's seizure of the fishing boats, but that no protest had been lodged with or received from the Soviets 'This isn't " diplomatic prob- lem," the State Departmen spokesman said. "This is a fishing problem, over which the Coas Guard has jurisdiction." SRecord high to predicted for Nixon budget By The Associated Press President Nixon will send to Congress next Monday his fourth consecutive deficit budget, report- edly calling for record spending of nearly $247 billion in fiscal 1973. Part of the increased spending will come in the defense budget, which has been stable for the last several years: Nixon reportedly has approved Defense Secretary Mel- vin Laird's request for funds for the development of new weapons programs. The President's revenue sharing plan will also get a greater budget 1allotment, but cuts were made in the outlay for unemployment com- pensation. The size of the prospective +de- ficit was not divulged by govern- ment sources, but they acknowl- edged that the deficit gap in the . current fiscal year, 1972, will have widened to nearly $40 billion by I the fiscal year ending next June 30. Even if Nixon's 1973 deficit is zestimated at only half that much, and many economists predict it probably will be higher - he will have piled up total deficits of f more than $85 billion since taking t office. s That would top any other ad- t ministration except Franklin D. I Roosevelt's final term in World War II. Whatever estimate of the deficit t Nixon submits to Congress, the ac- tual amount will be governed t largely by the pace of the business recovery this year, since tax col- lections are geared to individual incomes and corporation profits. To date that recovery has been disappointingly slow. Nixon's op- timistic forecast of a year ago that 1971 national output would total $1.065 trillion turned out to be roughly $20 billion too high.
