news briefs y
By The Associated Press
SEN. GEORGE McGOVERN (D-S.D.) yesterday was trapped
for a half hour in a Saigon church where he was meeting with
anti-government dissidents, as demonstrators outside hurled
stones and firebombs.
The senator is on a three-day visit of South Vietnam. The attack
on the church closed a day of anti-American demonstration and
violence in Saigon and in the old imperial capital of Hue in northern
South Vietnam.{
THE ALABAMA SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE voted
yesterday to give Gov. George Wallace the power to withhold
state funds allocated to the schools for bus transportation. Wal-
lace had sought the power last month to reinforce his campaign
against court-ordered busing.
The measure was written into the proposed education appropria-
tion bill which allots $940 million for all phases of education for the
next two fiscal years.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS at the National Governors Con-
ference charged the Democrats with partisanship yesterday and
made it clear they will block approval of a Democratic alternative
to the Nixon administration's economic programs.
"We simply deplore that the Democratic governors seek to use
this bipartisan conference to take what appears to be a rather nar-!
row, partisan political approach," Republican Gov. John Love of'
Colorado told a news conference.
Democratic governors outnumber Republicans by a narrow mar-
gin, but they require a three-fourths vote to bring the economics
proposal before the conference.
THE ARMY, after failing to persuade drug-addicted soldiers
to seek treatment prior to discharge, will henceforth make such
treatment mandatory, an administration spokesman said yester-
day.
Dr. Jerome Jaffee, director of President Nixon's special drug-
abuse prevention program, announced this in testimony before a'
Senate Veterans' Affairs subcommittee. Among other things, Jaf-
fee's program includes pre-discharge drug-addiction tests for all
servicemen leaving Vietnam.
SEN. J. W. FULBRIGHT (D-Ark.) said yesterday the Foreign
Relations Committee which he heads will report out a foreign
aid bill even though it has not received all the information it
asked for from the administration.
"The committee will act on the whole bill at some point," Ful-
bright told newsmen. But he said "I feel very sorry the administra-
tion is not more cooperative in making information available."
Earlier President Nixon invoked executive privilege in directing
the Pentagon not to supply the committee with what the committee
termed a report projecting the military aid program for the next five
years.
THE COST OF LIVING COUNCIL cleared the way yester-
day for companies to declare extra year-end dividends without
violating President Nixon's request to hold the line on dividends.
The council said companies may increase year-end dividends
if they have done so in each of the past three years, but the dividend
must not exceed those declared last year.
detention
law
WASHINGTON (R) - The House voted 356-49 yesterday
to repeal a 1950 law establishing detention centers for sus-
pected subversives and to prohibit their reestablishment
without the consent of Congress.
The bill, which must still be acted on by the Senate,
would repeal a law that has never been invoked but which
has led to widespread fears that it would be used to imprison
holders of unpopular beliefs.
The Nixon administration supported repeal of the act in
order to.quiet such fears, although it said they were totally

CRIMINAL CASES:
Justice Dept. endorses
maj0ority conviction law
unfounded.
Passage of the repeal bill
followed two days of emotion-
al debate in which members re-
called the imprisonment .of 112,-
000 Japanese - Americans living
on the West Coast at the outbreak
of World War II on the grounds
they might try to help Japan.
There were frequent references
to the event as being one of the
most shameful in American his-
tory. Rep. Spark M. Matsunaga,
(D-Hawaii), some of whose rela-
tives were among those imprison-
ed, was the chief sponsor of the
repeal bill.
It was to prevent the recurrence
of such a mass roundup that the
House added a provision to the re-
peal bill prohibiting the establish-
ment of detention centers without
congressional approval. The de-
tention of the Japanese-Ameri-
cans was ordered by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt under his
executive powers.
The 1950 act was the product
of Congressional fears of a world-
wide Communist conspiracy after
the outbreak of the Korean war.
It was passed over President Har-
ry Truman's veto.
Before voting to repeal the act,
the House decisively defeated two
amendments from its Internal
Security Committee designed to
preserve the act in amended form
and to permit detention centers to
be set up without congressional
approval.
Rep. Richard H. Ichord (D-
Mo.), chairman of the Internal
Security Committee, accused the
supporters of repeal of "trying to
legislate on unfounded fears, not
facts and logic.'
And Rep. John J. Flynt Jr.
(D-Ga.), who supported Ichord,
said the 1950 act was like fire or
casualty insurance. "It is bet-
ter to have it and not need it
than to need it and not have it,"
Flynt said.

WASHINGTON (P) - The
Justice Dept, endorced legisla-
tion yesterday to allow juries to
convict defendants without a
unanimous vote. It was pro-
posed along with plans to re-
strict defendants' legal maneu-
verings - suggestions aimed at
recent Supreme Court rulings.
Another major suggestion was
a measure aimed at banning
appeals based on constitutional
questions having no bearing on
the defendant's guilt or ino-
cence.
Asst. Atty. Gen. William
Rehnquist, appearing before the
Senate subcommittee on consti-
tutional rights, suggested that a
jury vote of 10-2 or 9-3 be con-
sidered enough for conviction.
The Supreme Court will hear
arguments Oct. 19 on the use of
nonunanimous votes in state
criminal trials.
Rehnquist proposed also mod-
ifying all or part of the rule
which now prevents the use
against a criminal defendant of
evidence which is found to
have been obtained in violation
of his constitutional rights.
He said the rules on habeas
corpus should be changed to
prevent appeals "which not on-
ly have nothing to do with the
guilt or innocence of the de-
fendant but nothing to do with
the underlying fairness of the
factfinding process by which he
was found guilty."
He said the number of habeas
corpus petitions filed annually
had jumped from 500 only 20
years ago to almost 11,000 last
year. Rehnquist said the de-
partment's proposed legislation
would permit defendants to ap-
peal on grounds that their con-
fession was forced by police,
that juries were under mob
domination, and that they were
not allowed counsel.
Lairdpush
for draft
law begins,
WASHINGTON (/P) - Secretary
of Defense Melvin Laird said yes-
terday readiness of the Armed
Forces will "decline to levels to-
tally unacceptable . . . to the
American people" if Congress fails
to renew the draft.
Laird's comment, issued by a
Pentagon spokesman, signaled the
start of an intensified Defense
Department campaign to push for
the renewal of the Selective Ser-
vice Act, tied up in Congress over
various amendments.
Jerry W. Friedheim, a Defense
Department spokesman, said the
three civilian service secretaries
and the heads of the military
services were scheduled to meet
later in the day at the Capitol
with Sen. John C. Stennis, D-
Miss., chairman of the Armed
Services Committee, and Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith of Maine,
the senior Republican member.
In a statement issued by Fried-
ham, Laird was quoted as being
"deeply concerned about the dan-
gerous national security situation
which will arise by early next
year" if Congress fails to act now.
Friedham said that voluntary
enlistments, now running as much
as 40 to 60 per cent without the
draft. He attributed the increase
in enlistments during the sum-
mer months as being mostly draft
induced even though induction au-
thirity expired with the old draft
law June 30.
The Senate took up the draft
law again Monday but it contin-
ued to remain stalled amid threats
from several antiwar Senators to
filibuster against deletion from the
bill of an amendment calling for
total withdrawal of American
troops from Vietnam.
