Senate votes ceiling to limit U.S. spending in Laos
WASHINGTON (') - The Senate
yesterday voted to set the first congres-
sional limit on U.S. spending in Laos,
approving a ceiling at the budgeted
level of $350 million.. Approval came
after war critics dropped efforts for a
sharp cut.
Sen. John Stennis, (D.-Miss.), chair-
man of the Armed Services Committee,
agreed to support the limit after Sen.
Stuart Symington, (D-Mo.), its sponsor
narrowed its application.
The 67-11 vote sets the ceiling for
economic and military aid as well as

Laotian and Thai irregular forces in the
Southeast Asian country.
It excludes all U.S. bombing activi-
ties - attacks in and around the
Communists' Ho Chi Minh supply trail
and those in support of Laotian forces
in the Plain of Jars and in Northern
Laos.
Approval was by a roll-call vote with
opposition coming from a handful of
war opponents who considered it could
be interpreted as an authorization for
U.S. action in Laos and from adminis-
tration backers opposing any restrictions.
The Senate acted in the face of
-- - - -- - -
strong opposition by the Nixon admin-
istration to any limit.
Senate sources said Dr. Henry Kis-
sin7;er. President Nixon's national se-
curity adviser, phoned Stennis sever-
al times during the day to register his
objections.
Symington proposed originally a
spending limit of $200 million exclud-
ing only the bombing around the Ho
Chi Minh trail.
After a series of conferences, Sy-
mngton agreed to raise the limit to
X350 million and omit any ban on the
$143 million budgeted for bombing in
I.4ti43at
Northern Laos.
In addition, the amendment includes
provisions requiring the Nixon admin-
istration to keep Congress informed
of actual expenditures in Laos on a
quarterly basis and provide explana-
tions of future requests for funds.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright, (D-Ark.), said
he fears the amendment, though de-
signed to limit spending in Laos, would
be interpreted as an authorization for
U.S. involvement there.
But Symington said "for the first
time we would have direct controls over
future operations."

THE SENATE VOTED yesterday to grant members of the
armed forces a $381 million annual pay raise in addition to the
$2.4 billion approved last month by a Senate-House conference.
The move was approved indirectly by President Nixon and op-
posed on the Senate floor by Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, (R-Maine),
who called it "inflationary."
The action is subject to a second Senate-House conference which
is likely to take a dim view of the increase.
NATIONAL ACTION GROUP (NAG) leader Irene McCabe
yesterday led a sleep-in outside the School Administration Build-
ing in Pontiac.
She then threatened to renew a school boycott if police are not
stationed inside the city's schools by next week.
Pontiac police said some 200 of McCabe's followers who oppose
court-ordered busing to achieve racial integration, showed up at the
Administration Building at 4:30 a.m.
McCabe and NAG attorney Brooks Patterson plan to go to
Washington today to confer with Michigan congressional leaders
about the court order requiring the busing of some 9,000 of Pontiac's1
24,000 public school pupils.
A TANK-LED SOUTH VIETNAMESE force yesterday launch-
ed a third attempt to reach a besieged artillery base inside
Cambodia.
The South Vietnamese ran into North Vietnamese resistance as
they neared the outpost, Fire Base Alpha.
The outpost has been under North Vietnamese siege for the nine
days since Viet Cong-led troops opened an offensive on both sides of
the Cambodian-Vietnam border, 60-90 miles northwest of Saigon.

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR Rogers Morton created a
special advocacy office yesterday to protect Indian water rights.
In an hour-long news conference, Morton reaffirmed the Nixon
administration's intention to encourage self-determination for all
Indian tribes who want it.
Morton said the new Indian Water Rights Office will be givenj
$2 million in its first year. This will avoid conflict of interest in the
Interior Department's solicitors office which is obligated to defend,
Indians as well as other department agencies.
Dock talks collapse; Nixon
to invoke
Taft-Hartly Act
By The Associated Press
Concern over longshoremen's strikes affecting the West,
East and Gulf coasts yesterday focused on San Francisco
where a federal mediator announced negotiations in the
nation's longest dock walkout had reached an impasse. Nego-
tiations also broke down yesterday in the East and Gulf
Coast longshoremen's strikes.
President Nixon yesterday moved to invoke provisions of
the Taft-Hartley Act against the striking longshoremen, and
a spokesman said an injunction ordering at least West Coast
dockers back to work would be sought within the next
few days.
Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler- -
explained that under the national
labor law Nixon's first step would,
be the appointment of a five- OU Se1
member board to look into all
longshore negotiations.

raise delay
WASHINGTON (A) - President
Nixon's order for a $1.3 billion six
month delay in a federal pay raise
was upheld by the House yester-
day 207-174. The Senate has yet
to act.
It was the first congressional
vote on any of the . President's
emergency economic proposals,
and he said a veto of his action
postponing the pay raise would
torpedo the whole package.
A host of Southern Democrats
joined Republicans in turning
back a House move to make the
pay raise effective Jan. 1 instead
of next July 1, as Nixon ordered.
In the House, leadership-backed
Democrats pressing for a veto of
Nixon's six month pay raise de-
lay accused the President of sac-
rificing federal employes' pay for
his economic program before
wage guidelines for everyone else
have been announced.
But Republicans with strong
help from Southern Democrats
supported Nixon's argument that
federal employes must share sac-
rifices and that rejection of the
$1.3 billion saving would break
up his anti-inflation package.
Sen. Frank Moss, (D-Utah),
plans to press for a vote in the
Senate tomorrow or Thursday.
Either the Senate or the House
can override the President's pay-
raise deferral action, without con-
currence by the other chamber.
