THE UNITED STATES resisted stiff pressure yesterday to
scale down President Nixon's terms for ending the world money
crisis but agreed to keep searching for a settlement.
A two-day conference of finance ministers and bankers from
10 leading nations ended with Treasury Secretary John Connally
firmly rejecting demands for devaluing the dollar, raising the gold
price above its present official level of $35 an ounce.
The demands came from Europeans, Canadians and Japanese.
The parley was the first between the United States and these
countries since Nixon a month ago touched off the international
monetary crisis with an emergency program -for economic recovery.
JAPANESE STUDENTS and farmers battled policemen yes-
terday to prevent farmland from becoming an airport.
Three policemen were killed, another 159 wounded.
The students had joined several farmers who have refused to sell
33 acres of ancestral land needed by the Japanese government to
alleviate congestion at Tokyo's international airport.

China
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (M
- The United States sought
support from its U.N. allies
yesterday for a revised resolu-
tion that would give China's
permanent Security Council
seat to Peking.
In Washington, President Nix-
on said the United States will
work to keep Nationalist China
in the United Nations while voting
for Communist Chinese entry.
The new draft of the two-Chinas
resolution was presented in a pri-
vate meeting of 30 to 35 potential
sponsors at the U.S. mission at
the United Nations
U. S. Ambassador George Bush
sought to line up support before
submitting the resolution to the
General Assembly early next week.
This addition had been under
study by the United States for
several weeks and was finally writ.
ten in under pressure from Japan
and other U.S. allies in the Unit-
ed Nations.
The original U.S. proposal, cir-
culated to friendly countries Aug.
2, simply called for the seating of
mainland China in the United Na-
tions while permitting the Chinese
Nationalists to remain. The ques-
tion of the Security Council was
left open.
Secretary of State William Rog-
ers said at a Sept. 3 news confer-
ence, however, that in a survey
the United States had found
strong support for giving the seat
to Peking and that the idea was
being considered.
Most of therparticipants in the
private meeting yesterday morn-
ing were cautious about discuss-
ing the question of sponsorship.
A number will determine their
positions after conferring with
their governments, Bush said. This
apparently is one reason for de-
laying submission of the resolu-
tion until next week.
Bush told newsmen he was en-
couraged by the discussions and
that the addition of the special
provision on the Security Coun-
cil seat had made "a big differ-
ence."

Nixon pressured Congress yester-
day to pass a draft-extension bill,
scheduled for a Senate vote today.
The bill, combining a two-year
extension of draft authority and
a $2.4 billion pay raise for mili-
tary personnel has been passed
by the House but stalled in the
Senate. Vietnam war critics and
senators opposed to any draft law
say they will fight it.
If Congress fails to continue the
draft authority, which expired
last June 30, Nixon said the re-
sult would make the United
States "the second strongest na-
tion in the world with all the im-
plications that has."
Nixon said at a news conference
that scuttling of the draft legisla-
tion would jeopardize internation-
al negotiations in which the Unit-
ed States hopes to reduce East-

mutual agreement.
At the Capitol, Sen. Gordon Al-
lott (R-Colo.), told th6 Senate the
President has agreed to support
separate legislation to boost the
pay of servicemen in the lowest
grades more than the bill pro-
vides.
This dimmed chances for pas-
sage of a motion to table the
draft legislation, which Sen. Mike
Mansfield (D-Mont.), said he will
offer today.
A key issue is an amendment
sponsored by Mansfield calling for
withdrawal of all U.S. troops in
Indochina in nine months, pro-
vided U.S. prisoners of war are
released. Senate-House conferees
revised this to call for an end to
U.S. military operations in Indo-
china at the earliest practicable
date.
Allott said he will offer an
amendment to the military pro-
curement bill, slated to be brought
up in the Senate after the draft
legislation, to add some $300 mil-
lion to pay raises for servicemen,
in addition to the increases in the
draft bill.

Army officials said it will take
more than pay increases to attract
men.
The Senate's senior Republican
George Aiken of Vermont, said
that because of what he called
the administration's "crash pro-
gram" to win votes for the bill, he
was going to vote to table the
measure.

Medina claims ignorance

536 South Forest Ave,
761-2680

FT. McPHERSON, Ga. (P) -
Capt. Ernest Medina, commander
of U.S. troops at My Lai, took the
stand in his murder trial yester-
day and denied knowing that his
men were committing mass mut -
der inside the village.
Medina testified that his first
awareness of the scope of the
massacre came hours after the
operation when a superior told
him to check out a report that
numerous civilians had been shot
down.
The captain, testified that he
called his platoon leaders togeth-

er at that point and demanded
from each one an account of how
many civilians were killed.
He added that at no time dur-
ing the operation did any of his
platoon leaders, including Calley,
indicate that civilians were being
shot.
The captain testified that to-
ward the end of the operation he
found 20 to 28 bodies on a trail
and assumed they were victims
of combat.
The captain acknowledged that
during the operation a helicopter
pilot reported that innocent civi-
lians were being hurt. Medina said
his superiors then radioed him
and told him to pass the word
that civilians weren't to be hurt.
Medina is accused of shoot-
ing a woman, ordering the slaying
of a child and failing to intervene
after learning his men were
slaughtering civilians found in the
village during the operation
March 16, 1968.
