THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE voted yesterday
not to require presidential aides to testify about their role in
the ITT affair.
The move apparently staves off a confrontation with President
Nixon, who indicated that executive privilege would be invoked to
prevent the aides from testifying., Witnesses have identified NixonE
aides Peter Flanigan and William Timmons as havng played some
role in the case.
The committee, also voted to have two Denver heart specialistsI
examine Dita Beard, lobbyist for ITT, to determine her ability to
testify.
UNITED MINE WORKER OFFICIAL William Prater has
been arrested by the FBI on federal conspiracy charges involving
the 1969 murders of union leader Joseph Yablonski and his wife
and daughter.
Prater was arrested in Lake City, Tenn., after k federal grand
jury in Pittsburgh indicted him on charges of conspiring to inter-
fere with the rights of a union member,"conspiring to obstruct justice
and conspiring to interfere with an investigation.
The indictment was based largely on a statement given to the
FBI by Anette Gilly, one of five persons arrested for the slayings.

THE BRITISH LABOR PARTY demanded that a national
referendum be held to determine British entry into the European
Common Market, despite the defection of seven of its leaders.
The referendum, decided on at a bitter Labor party meeting,
brought about the resignations from the party leadership of those
favoring Common Market entry. They were led by Roy Jenkins, theF
deputy party leader.
Labor left-wingers are now expected to step up their campaign
to guide the party toward opposition to the market in principle, a{
fear voiced by Jenkins when he resigned.
A MEMPHIS ATTORNEY will be nominated by PresidentI
Nixon to become the first black memberto serve on the seven
member Federal Communications Commission, it was announced
yesterday.
Benjamin Hooks, described by the White House as a political
independent, would serve a seven-year term starting July 1. He
would succeed Democrat Robert Bartley.
Hooks is a former Tennessee criminal court judge. His appoint-I
ment is subject to Senate confirmation.

geants, who make an annual salary of $14,470, they are only re-
ceiving a patrolman's salary of $12,750.

DETROIT (gy) - Fourteen
members of a Chinese table
tennis team landed on the
soil of the United States yes-
terday, keeping their promise
to visit this country before
the blossoms bloom.
The table tennis team is re-
turning a visit by an American
team last spring which heralded
a new era in relations between the
United States and China.
Accompanied by 14 newsmen,
officials and translators, the
team left a chartered jet at De-
troit Metropolitan Airport. As the
Chinese descended f r o m the
plane, members of an American
table tennis squad lined up at
the base of the ramp and ap-
plauded. The Chinese then re-
turned the applause.
General handshaking followed
between members of the two
teams as the Chinese walked
along the line of American play-
ers.
3rThe arrival was deliberately
low key, with no bands or flags
marking the occasion. There
were 20 minutes of speeches by,
representatives of the two teams
and 'by John Scali, an administra-
tive assistant to President Nixon.
Chuang Tse-tung, leader of the
Chinese delegation, spoke for his
group at the airport.
"Our delegation has come to
the United States in the spirit of
friendship first, competition sec-
ond." he said. "We would like to
do our part in enhancing under-'
standing and friendship between
the Chinese and American peo-
ples."
A small group from the Uni-
versity Center for Chinese Stu-
dies stood nearby carrying a sign
saying "long live Chinese-Ameri-
can friendship."
The airport ceremony marked
the beginning of the two-week
tour of the United States by the
Chinese team, including a visit
to Washington. But presidential
aide Scali denied previous re-
ports that the trip would include
an impromptu table tennis match
at the White House Monday or
Tuesday with President Nixon as
one of the players.
The Chinese ping pong players
are scheduled to play in Ann Ar-
bor at Crisler Arena this Satur-
day at 1:30 p.m., as part of their!
American tour.

MEMBERS OF the table tennis team of the People's Republic of China wave as they descend from
their chartered aircraft in Detroit yesterday. The group is spending two weeks in the United States,
touring various cities and playing American teams.
1 YEAR STUDY REJECTED:
Senate votes againstne w delay for
Pre. wr-aking power limitation
WASHINGTON (P) - The
Senate refused again yesterday
to set aside a bill to limit the
war powers of the President.
It defeated, 56-23, a substitute
bill proposed by Sen. J. Glenn
Beall Jr., (R.-Md.) to appoint a
24-m'ember national commission
for a year-long study of the
warmaking roles of Congress
and the president.
The test was the second in
two days indicating majority
Senate support for legislation
designed to implement the con-
stitutional authority of Con-
gress alone to declare war.
A final Senate vote on the bill
was set for today.
On Tuesday, the Senate
turned down 60-26 a motion to
send the bill to its own Judici-
ary Committee for 45 days to
review its constitutionality.
The bill would limit the presi-
dent's use of the armed forces to
emergency defense against at-
tack or threat of attack or res-
cue of Americans endangered
abroad, and' then only for 30
days unless Congress consented.
"Implicit in this is what has,
gone on in Vietnam and the
prevention of future Vietnams,"
Sen. Thomas Eagleton (D-Mo.)
told the Senate yesterday.
Arguing that the war-powers
issue has had study enough,
Eagleton said a study commis-
sion is "a way to postpone"
necessary action.
"This is the time to act," said
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.),
principal sponsor of the original
bill.
Beall said the war-powers is-
sue is of such extreme import-
ance that it should have all the
study it can get.
Beall added that the bill, op-
posed by President Nixon, is not
likely to be considered in the
House this year, anyway, and is
highly unlikely to be signed by
the President.
The House has passed a
weaker resolution reaffirming
the power of Congress to de-
clare war, recognizing presiden-
tial authority to commit the
armed forces in emergency situ-
ations, suggesting advance con-
sultation with Congress and the
filing of regular reports by the
president.
The latest Senate action is
part of a continuing debate on
what the Congress' war making
powers should be.
Earlier in the week, Senator
Mike Gravel (D.-Alaska) intro-
duced two amendments to the
bill now being considered, one
which would have declared war
on North Vietnam, another
that would have required' the
withdrawal of all U.S. forces
from Indochina unless Congress
declared war within 15 days.
Gravel said that it was ridic-
ulous for Congress to reassert its
constitutional war - declaration
perogatives for the future and
"overlook the fact that they are
being eroded right now."
