news briefs
By The Associated Press
THE UNITED STEEL WORKERS Union yesterday struck
three can manufacturing companies and reached agreement with
a fourth.
The contract agreement, reached with National Can Co.. provided
for at least $1 an hour raises over three years for the lowest paid
workers, said a representative of the Steel Workers international
office.
Negotiations, which began last November, are in indefinite
recess according to the three struck manufacturers.
SEN. EDWARD KENNEDY (D-Mass.) plans to use his new
post as chairman of the Senate health subcommittee to press
the case for a national health insurance system.
Although the subcommittee does not have legislative jurisdictionI
over the bill, Kennedy feels its prospects will be strongly enhanced
by holding hearings in Washington and throughout the nation.
The legislation, because it involves new taxes, falls under the
committee jurisdiction of Ways and Means in the House and Finance
in the Senate. Neither panel is considered likely to approve any
plan as comprehensive as Kennedy's, which provides comprehensive{
benefits for every person in the United States.
ABOUT 15 POLICEMEN were rushed into a two block area
of downtown Atlanta yesterday, to quell a disturbance in which
windows were broken, at least one officer was injured and 29
arrests were made.
Charges brought against those arrested include inciting to riot,
creating a turmoil and aggravated assault.,
Police reported that the disturbance began when an officer ar-
rested one of two blacks fighting with each other. Other blacks scuf-
fled with the arresting officer, and at least two were struck with
riot clubs.
THE POLISH GOVERNMENT yesterday announced it would
revoke on March 1 the sweeping price hikes which provoked
bloody pre-Christmas rioting.j
Premier Piotr Jaroszewicz said this was made possible by aidj
from the Soviet Union and a possible increase in livestock production.
The Premier, who replaced ousted communist party chief Gomulka,
seven weeks ago, appealed to 10,000 striking mill workers to return
to work.
Workers immediately rejected the appeal and repeated demands
for more pay and cheaper food.

From Wire service Reports
Michigan Democrats ended an unusually quiet conven-
tion this weekend, as they avoided major battles on contro-
versial issues.
The 2,454 delegates quickly adopted resolutions which
called for an immediate cease-fire in Indochina and an end
to political repression.
The party also passed a watered-down resolution holding
out a hope of amnesty to men who, as a matter of conscience,
refuse to fight in the Indochina war.

WASHINGTON (P-The Army
late last week announced that it
plans to remove slot machines
from its clubs in Vietnam.
But senatorial investigators are
still interested in determining
how the devices got there in the
first place and whether the mil-
lions of dollars put into them have
contributed to widespread cor-
ruption.
Hearings opening before the
Senate permanent investigations
subcommittee tomorrow are ex-
pected to produce demands that
the machines be banned from all
military bases.
75c "

In making its announcement,
the Army said it is banning the
more than 1,700 slot machines
from its bases in Vietnam be-
cause of diminishing use and in-
creased difficulty in maintaining
them in a war zone.
But some members of Con-
gress see the machines as the
front for the corruption they say
has spread throughout the maa-
agement of the military services'
annual $6 billion nonappropriated
fund activities.
Sen. Edward J. Gurney (R-
Fla.) reporting to the subcommit-
tee on a trip to Vietnam last
November for the investigations
panel, is the latest to demand
that the machines be banned
from the bases.

He said the potential of that
corruption is more profound than
merely the stealing of slot ma-
chine receipts or the temptation
to steal.
"All too often the firms and in-
dividuals who install, service
and profit from these machines
are not the sort with which the
U.S. government should deal,"
he said.
In the past the Pentagon has
defended the presence (of slot
machines on overseasbases as a
morale builder and as an accept-
able alternative to unsupervised
and perhaps more destructive
forms of gambling.
In 1969, the Pentagon repsrted
there were 16,318 slot machines
operating at U.S. military bases
overseas and that their total in-
come was $67.72 million.

According to Hartke, Stans had
a $318,000 stock interest in a maj-
or Penn Central railroad subsid-
iary at the time his department
was involved in Nixon administra-
tion efforts to save the railroad
from bankruptcy last June.
Stans did not specifically men-
tion these holdings in a financial
statement to t he Senate Com-
merce Committee dated Jan. 13,
1969.
Stans last week indicated the
holdings were included in a clause
that referred to "undivided inter-
ests of indeterminable value" in
two partnerships.
Stans. in his financial state-
ment, pledged to put these hold-
ings and all other assets into a
blind trust and order the trustee
to make no accountings or re-
ports to him.
However, in response to a ques-
tion, Stans indicated knowledge of
a trust transaction which he said
occurred in September 1969.
