news brief
By The Associated Press
THE RAILROAD SIGNALMAN'S UNION yesterday announc-
ed tentative agreement on a new 42-month labor contract that
could strain the Pay Board's post-freeze wage guidelines.
The board met Tuesday for nearly seven hours but adjourned
without issuing any new policy directives.

PRIME MINISTER INDIRA GANDHI declared Tuesday that
the East Pakistan crisis, which has brought India and Pakistan
to the brink of war, would be solved within two months, a gov-
ernment spokesman reported.
The statement raised speculation whether Mrs. Gandhi had
been given assurance during her recent six-nation trip that President
Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan of Pakistan- would make peace with
the Bengalis of his eastern province or whether she had concluded
that India must impose its own military solution.
THE WHITE HOUSE is considering a proposed revision in
the Social Security accounting system which could place the
Social Security system on a pay-as-you-go basis and require the
trust fund to carry only a one-year reserve.
Officials have not specified the size of the benefit increasej
which could result from the change. But they say the revised account-
ing method would have the effect of "freezing the Social Security tax
rate at 5.4 per cent until the year 2010.
COL. RUDOLF ABEL, once the Kremlin's top U.S. spy and
probably the most important spy ever .caught in the U.S. died
yesterday of cancer in Moscow, reliable sources reported.
Abel operated as a spy from 1948 until 1957 when he was betray-
ed by an assistant and sentenced to 30 years.
In 1962 he was exchanged for Francis Gary Powers, the U-21
pilot who was shot down while flying over the Soviet Union in 1960.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION claimed in a report re-
leased yesterday that the Nixon administration has failed to take
a firm and continuing interest in the enforcement of civil rights
laws.
In addition, only a few federal agencies have made any effort to
upgrade the hiring and promotion of minority groups, the Commis-
sion said.
The Commission used Nixon's stand on busing and activities1
against attempts to integrate suburbs, as examples of the admin-
istrators lack of interest.

GRAND RAPIDS RULING:
District court dentes
suit on property tax
college
From Wire Service Reports
The Senate has passed a tax
credit that could run as high as
$325 a year per student to those
who are paying for education be-
yond high school.
It also agreed to allow working
parents tax deductions for child
care.
Democrats pushed through Mon-
day $2.5 billion worth of changes
in President Nixon's tax bill which
would cut taxes by $15.5 billion
over three years.
Despite the approval of these
changes, their enactment is by no
means certain. It must first clear

mittee dominated by Rep. Wilbur
High court to
hear plea on
Arm y spyng
WASHINGTON (P) - The Su-
preme Court agreed yesterday to
consider whether a group of 13
persons and organizations whose
activities were monitored by Army
intelligence may challenge the
constitutionality of such a domes-
tic surveillance system.
The suit, which also asks that
all Army records on domestic
groups be destroyed, was filed in
Feb. and dismissed by Federal
Judge George Hart.
The District of Columbia Court
of Appealsreversed Hart's deci-
sion and ordered hearings to de-
termine if the Army's intelligence
gathering "does not go beyond the
Army's mission."
Specifically the court ordered
hearings to determine:
-the exact nature of the sur-
veillance system and the recipi-
ents of its information,
-what part, if any, of the sys-
tem was necessary to the Army's
statutory mission,
-whether the system had or
might have an inhibiting effect on
domestic groups.

House Ways and Means Commit-
tee.
The tax credit would allow
parents to subtract $325 from
taxes owed for each dependent
child they send to college. Col-
lege expenses would have to equal
$1,500, and the credit would di-
minish in value for parents with
income of more than $25,000 a
year.
The bill also provides for an in-
come tax deduction of up to $4,800
a year for the wages of maids or
baby - sitters hired by working
couples whose joint income does
not exceed $18,000 yearly. No de-
duction would be allowed for cou-
ples whose joint income is greater
than $27,000.
Both forms of tax cuts would
take effect with taxes paid on in-
come earned in 1972.
The college expense tax credit,
sponsored by Senator Ernest Hol-
lings (D-S.C.), was passed by a
vote of 56-27. The amendment to
provide credit for payment for
baby-sitters was sponsored by
Senator John Tunney (D-Calif.) ,
and was passed by a vote of 59-
24.
The bill now has to go to a
committee to settle differences be-
tween it and the bill passed by
the House. The House bill did not
include tax relief for parents of
college students nor for working
parents.
In a vote on another amend-
ment to the tax bill the Senate
rejected, 44-28, an attempt to give
all taxpayers a small increase in
the tax cut on 1971 income which
has already been approved by the
House.
The cut would have been
achieved by raising $700 the 1971
income tax personal exemption for
each taxpayer and each of his de-
pendents.
The vote left the 1971 exemp-
tion at $675-the figure approv-
ed by the House and a $25 in-
crease over last year.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (P) -
U.S. District Judge Noel Fox
refused yesterday to take juris-
diction over a suit seeking to
outlaw the property tax as the_
basic means of financing public
education in the state.
Judge Fox ordered the case
-returned to Ingham County Cir-
cuit Court, where it originally
was brought by Gov. William
Milliken and Atty. Gen. Frank
Kelley.
Three affluent school district
who were made defendants ap-
pealed to Fox to take jurisdic-
tion.
Fox held the case to be "a do-
mestic controversy concerning
state public educational policy"
and said state courts could re-
solve the issue "more quickly
and effectively than federal
courts."
He said action through the
federal courts would, in his
opinion, prove "protracted, com-
plex and highly expensive to the
parties and the judicial system."
The districts which urged
Judge Fox to take over the suit
are Grosse Pointe, Dearborn
and Bloomfield.
Milliken proposes an income
tax increase to make up for the
property tax income that would
be lost.
The governor and attorney
general argue in their suit that
the property tax fails to pro-
vide equal educational oppor-
tunity and is therefore uncon-
stitutional as a base for the
state's educational system.
Richer districts, they argue,
have money to finance a better
school system than poorer
school districts.

"One of the best movies I have ever seen. Certainly
it is John Schlesinger's finest work to date as -a
director. Glenda Jackson has never been better.
Peter Finch gives the performance of his career.
Miss Gilliatt's screenplay is so true, so heartbreak-
ing, so uncluttered-both pungent and poignant
without telling too much or spoiling our illusions
about the characters she has introduced us to. It is
a towering achievement. Here, at last, is. a truly
adult film- by, for, and about adults. I don't
think I'll ssee a better movie than 'SUNDAY,
BLOODY SUNDAY' this year. Just think. Some spor-
adic moviegoers never see a movie this good all
their lives."
