The California Democrat accuse'd the President of attempting to create a situationtpermitting him to be critical of a Democratic Con- gress just before the elections. * * * THE NATIONAL URBAN COALITION festerday issued an al- ternative federal budget, hoping to stir public debate on rearranging national priorities. Their counterbudget for the years 1972-1976 is a 399-page document developed by a special staff. It calls for a gargantuan cut in spending for national defense and military assistance and an increase of similar proportions in funds for health, income support and education. * * * OPPONENTS OF THE SST lost one of their strongest argu- ments yesterday when Boeing Co. specialists working on the giant craftsannounced they can produce an acceptably quiet airplane. A Boeing official told newsmen that this information will be ex- tended formally to the Department of Transportation next Friday. Calling attention to the stringent Federal Aviation Administration noise level rule, the Boeing spokesman said "we couldn't get a relaxa- tion, so I guess we just worked harder and found the solutions." The necessary changes were complex, but involved basically a re- duction in specific thrust to produce a quiet air flow moving at lower! velocity. LOS ANGELES c-A small piece of telegraph tape be- wildered and frightened millions of Americans yesterday. From a strategic military communications center inside a Colorado mountain, the tape erroneously told the nation's broadcasters the nation was under a presidentially imposed state of emergency.

The pontiff, speaking before the priests of Rome at the Lateran' University, said this attitude could turn out to be good for the Roman Catholic church. While for the first time conceding validity to sociological studies on priestly troubles, Pope Paul nevertheless reaffirmed the church's teach- ing on the ecclesiastical state of celibacy. * * * NEW YORK CITY is planning to build what it says will be thej nation's first major pollution free solid waste disposal plant.

REQUEST FREE TV TIM Black congressmen t ROBERT BRESSON WEEK-END Saturday-Feb. 20 AU HAZARD BALTHAZAR FRANCE (1966) Regarded as Biesson's masterpiece-it was voted the Best Film of 1966 by Cahiers du Cinema. The story is of a donkey Balthazar and is actually a com- mentary on the lines of the people who own, love, beat, and exploit him and each other. Sunday-MOUCH ETTE FRANCE (1968) "Mouchette is a masterpiece: a Bresson film pure and simple with its extraordinary correspondences between sound and gesture to evoke the unspoken and the unseen." Tom Milne-Sight & Sound WASHINGTON (P) - The 12 black House members renewed yesterday their request to the three television broadcast net- works for free time to respond to President Nixon's State of the Union address. They said the right of free speech, the separation of powers between the executive and legis- lative branches, and the equal time provisions of the broadcast- ing code all support their claim. An earlier request by the black congressmen, w h o boycotted Nixon's speech, was turned down by the three networks. This time the representatives buttressed their case with a long discussion of the legal and con- stitutional issues they say are at stake, and which they are pre- pared to take to the Supreme Court to be resolved. The document was addressed to Leonard H. Goldenson, president of the American Broadcasting Co., with copies sent to the heads of the Columbia Br,.ad- casting System and the National Broadcasting Co. It was signed by the 12 black representatives, all Democrats: Reps. Shirley Chisholm, of New York, William L. Clay, of Mis- souri, George W. Collins, of Illi- nois, John Conyers, Jr., of Mich- igan, Ronald V. Dellums of Cali- fornia, Charles C. Diggs Jr. of Michigan, Augustus F. Hawkins of California, Ralph H. Metcalfe of Illinois, Parren J. Mitchell of Maryland. Robert N. C. Nix ofk Pennsylvania, Charles B. Rangel of New York and Louis Stokes of Ohio. They said the State of the Union address is, in essence, a partisan statement by a presi- dent designed to assure the coun- try that it is prospering under his stewardship and that of his party. "Because it purports to be a comprehensive review off trte im- portant issues confronting the nation it is significant both for the issues it includes and those it omits," they said. "When the President omits a subject, it must be assumed that he feels it is not of great im- portance." But union sources indicated they' apparently would have little choice except to do so if Nixon imposes a freeze and creates the board un- der the Defense Production Act which expires March 31. Union leaders have said they could not agree to any voluntary plan to limit their members' wages, and that any role they took in government action to reduce construction costs would have to be forced by the White House. Hodgson said both sides agreed to make no comment on yester- day's meeting "until after I've had an opportunity to discuss this mat- ter with the President next week." However, Hodgson had told news- men earlier this week that "we're going to have to do something" to curb construction costs. The Strategic Air Command (SAC) also ignored the alert and dispatched no attack aircraft after it was received. "All we know is what we read on your wire, that alert w a s strictly for radio stations," s a i d MaJ. Bill Corbin, director of in- formation for SAC at its Omaha, Neb. headquarters. "We did nothing here at SAC." Corbin added. The Michigan Daily, edited and man- aged by students at the University of Michigan. News phone: 764-0552.

I of Alaska Morton disclosed his feelings Friday to a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. He said any decis- ions "are not going to be made on a profit-loss factor inherent to any economic group. Only last month the department issued an environmental impact statement saying t h e pipelitie should be built because the nation needs oil. Morton, however, impressed with the conservationists' argument's, said that he thought Alaska had acted hastily in selling the leases because it could n o t guarantee fedaaral approval of the pipeline. If it is determined the &I is needed "we still are going to do everything we can to protect tte environment and I'm a long way from deciding that, this pipeline is the way to do it," he added.
