Rehnquist's path to Senate confirmation appeared smoothed by an apparent softening of his stands on wiretapping and police{ surveillance. But Kennedy, in a Denver speech, criticized the nominee's record as an assistant attorney general and implied he "does not place a high priority on rights and liberties that we consider central and vital to the American way of life." The Senate Judiciary Committee questions Lewis Powell Jr., President Nixon's second court nominee, on Monday. There are no current plans to recall Rehnquist who testified earlier this week. THE MY LAI COVERUP TRIAL of Col. Oran Henderson re- sumed yesterday at Ft. Meade, Md., with the defense arguing for dismissal of the most serious charge against the officer. Lt. Col.

AMERICAN MARITIME UNIONS have agreed to load $135 million worth of feed grains aboard ships bound for the Soviet Union, the Nixon administration announced yesterday. The sale of the grains was approved after administration-sponsor- ed negotiations secured the promise of union leaders that their men will load the ships. The unions' previous refusal to load grains on ships bound for Communist nations had hindered the completion of such sales in the past. - - - Unemployment rate drops for October I0 Reps. organize effort. to defeat foreign ai bil WASHINGTON OP)i - House foes began organizing an effort yesterday to sharply curb even temporary new foreign aid funds.

WASHINGTON (A') - The na- tion's unemployment rate drop- ped slightly to 5.8 per cent of the work force last month as the total number of working Amer- icans hit a record 79.8 million. the government announced yes- terday. The total number of out-of- work seekers dropped by 270,000, mostly husbands and other adult men, to 4.6 million, the Labor Department's Bureau of L a b o r Statistics said. The jobless rate declined by 0.2 per cent from September's 6 per cent. Bureau Commissioner Geoffrey Moore called the drop "marginally significant" or .less. Sen. William Proxmire (D- Wis.), chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, said it was cause for "marginal encour- agement" but showed no break- through. There was no immediate com- ment from the administration. It was the second monthly de- cline in a row. The jobless rate for blue col- lar workers and Vietnam era veterans dropped sharply, but the rate for blacks and other non whites crept up to 10.7 per cent, highest since November of 1963. The rate for whites dropped from 5.4 to 5.3. There was little change in the rates for women, teen-agers or white collar workers. The biggest job gains were in state and local government, re- tail and wholesale trade, service industries and manufacturing of transportation equipment, in- cluding autos. "What is important is the secret .and sometimes terrifying force Pasolini has communicated. MEDEA fascinates us like a film of horror. But here the hor- ror is charged with poetry. Maria Callas is infallible in the role. . . She brings to the film a nobility and exceptional sensibility. A kind of magnetism is emitted from her very person." -LE MONDE, Paris 4th WEEK (t.i1Y DIAL 8-6416 Shows At 1-3-S-7-9 Laurence Olivier in Strindberg's corrosive classic 3:00 matinee SUNDAY 7:30, 9:30 p.m. Power Center for Performing Arts Tickets $2.00 Centicore S.
