While some viewed the cut as only a symbolic or technical action, the decision is likely to lead to a decrease in the prime interest rate, the amount Federal banks charge their biggest customers. The move, less a stimulative than a following action, appears to indicate a feeling by the board that inflation has been dampened in recent months. * * * THE VATICAN announced yesterday that it has established diplomatic relations with the European Common Market and its other components. The Holy See named a nuncio, or ambassador, to the community composed of the market, the Coal and Steel community and the Atomic Energy Union. Archbishop Itino Cardinale will be the envoy following "the life and activity of institutions which promote collaboration between states in view of the supreme good of peace, and moral, cultural and economic progress." * *- * Laird requests more non-lethal Guard weapons WASHINGTON LT) - Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird moved yesterday to provide the National Guard and Reserves with more riot-control training and protective equipment such as face masks, flack vests and wooden batons. Although the stated purpose is to reduce the risk of injury to guardsmen in civil disturbances, Pentagon officials made clear the action aims also at minimizing the much- criticized use of firearms by guardsmen on riot-control duty. Such criticism reached a cres-9 TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOMOSEXUALITY An informal seminar open to all interested persons NOVEMBER 12, THURSDAY: THE HOMOPHILE MOVEMENT IN THE U.S. GUILD HOUSE, 802 MONROE ST.-7 P.M.

The suit against the nation's number two steel producer charges Bethlehem with violating the Sherman Anti-trust Act by "entering into combinations with various suppliers since 1956 in order to restrain trade by reciprocal purchases." * . . 1ST LT. WILLIAM CALLEY, JR. won the right at a prelimin- ary court-martial hearing yesterday to argue that any massacre at My Lai was the result of orders from superior officers. The prosecution asked that the defense be barred from citing any orders Calley might have received from his company commander, Capt. Ernest L. Medina, who also faces court-martial in connection with the My Lai incident. THE OHIO GRAND JURY which investigated the Kent State disorders never saw an important Justice Department report, re- ported the Akron Beacon Journal yesterday. Special prosecutor Robert Balyeat told the Beacon Journal that the grand jury was not given the report, because it is "not normally the practice to present to a grand jury conclusions of other persons.'' The Justice Department memorandum said that there was reason to believe that Ohio National Guardsmen fabricated their story of self-defense after four students were fatally shot and nine wounded in a May 4 confrontation between guardsmen and anti-war protesters. A SOVIET DESTROYER collided Monday night with the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, Britain's biggest warship, top English defense officials said yesterday. The Defense Ministry withheld all details of the collision pend- ing a naval board inquiry but disclosed that the carrier engines were full astern at time of impact - an indication she was trying to stop. Two Soviet crewmen were thrown overboard and are still missing in the Eastern Mediterranean, where Britain was holding naval exercises under the watchful eyes of Soviet ships.

DEMANDS WAGE HIKES: Rail union head sets Dec. strike deadine cendo after the confrontation last May at Kent State University in which four students were shot fat- ally and nine wounded in a clash with Ohio guardsmen. "If the guardsmen are trained and protected, they will be less likely to react in certain extreme ways out of fears," Pentagon spokesman Jerry W. Friedheim re- plied when asked whether the ac- tion was in direct response to the Kent State incident. He said Laird would ask the Senate next week to add $20 mil- lion to the military appropriations bill already passed by the House to pay for the extra training and new equipment. Laird's action will mean extra drill for about 320,000 men in guard and reserve units with civil disturbance missions, mostly in the nation's urban areas. These guardsmen now receive 33 hours of riot-control training. If Congress approves the Pent- agon request, the guard will be supplied with 140,000 face masks and batons and 130,000 protective vests. The guard will receive. also greater quantities of riot-control equipment, including shot guns, anti-sniper rifles, public address systems, floodlights, radios a n d tear gas. "It is my policy," Laird declared, "that the members of the Na- tional Guard engaged in helping to restore and maintain safety and order will be in the best possible position to exercise their duties with minimum risk of injury." Generals, released Sovi' ets ANKARA, Turkey (P) - Two American generals whose small plane flew by error to the Soviet Union Oct. 21 returned to An- kara yesterday b u t they main- tained silence on how they landed in Soviet Armenia. T h e incident, which threw a chill into Soviet-U.S. relations, occurred when a light plane car- rying the two generals drifted off course and landed in Soviet Ar- menia. The two were held. for two weeks while talks were held to ar- range their release. An informed source said t h e freed officers - Maj. Gen. Ed- ward C. D. Scherrer, chief of the American military aid mission to Turkey, and his assistant, Brig: Gen. Claude M. McQuarrie Jr. - were under orders not to talk af- ter they flew to Ankara. One top American official said he believed the matter would now be kept under wraps to avoid pos- sible aggravation of Turkish- Russian and American-Russian relations. "The questions may nev- er be answered publicly," he said. WASHINGTON UP) - A union' leader said yesterday he will call a nationwide railroad strike Dec. 11 unless the industry boosts a White House board's proposed wage increase, already the biggest in rail history. "This is not enough," President C. L. Dennis of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks s a i d of the board's recommendation for wage hikes of 36 per cent over three years for 500,000 workers now, averaging $3.68 per hour. The strike date is one day af- ter delaying provisions of the Railway Labor Act expire. Dennis said once on strike, rail workers probably would defy federal courts and Congress if necessary and re- main off the Job until they won their demands for some 45 per cent in wage hikes plus other ben- efits. We have complied with all ex- isting laws - and if we go out on Dec. 11, we stay out. It's as simple as that," he said at a news conference. There have been only a f e w brief nationwide rail walkouts in the past half century.

If I must lead my peo- ple out on strike, it should be clearly understood that they will not go back to work until they have received a w a g e increase which will bring them up to com- parability with the transporta- tion industry," Dennis said. The clerks' union is the largest of four AFL-CIO unions in the wage dispute, representing about 80 per cent of all rail workers. DISCRIMINATION CHARGES HUD to challenge cities' zoning .> ?Q\ Ati. f 4f "f.f..

HUD wants action against Black Jack, Mo. to overturn the St. Louis suburb's Oct. 25 re- zoning of a 25-acre tract that excluded a planned 210-unit, town house apartment develop- ment. "It is of the utmost import- ance to this department that the courts accept the principle that a locality cannot employ its policy powers to discriminate against federally assisted housing for the benefit of low- and moder- ate-income families," Arthur J. Gang, assistant HUD general counsel, wrote last Friday to the Justice Department. HUD's so-called open-com- munities strategy suffered a set- back earlier this fall in Warren, Mich, when the Detroit suburb rejected a governmental demand that it promote open housing or lose federal urban-renewal aid. Voters in Warren defeated a proposal in the recent election calling for the establishment of a human-relations board, a pre- requisite to receiving federal funds under the urban renewal program. HUD officials suggested pri- vately the request was the open- ing shot in the department's long-promised campaign to in- sure suburban housing opportun- ities for inner-city, minority- group families. The push was delayed until after last week's national elec- tions because of its political sensitivity, sources said. HUD Secretary George Rom- ney maintains ghettodispersal is necessary because plants and offices are being moved from inner cities to suburbs. Gang suggested the govern- ment file its own suit against Black Jack or Join the non- profit sponsors of the town- house development in an exist- ing court action. He cited the 1968 Fair Housing Act as author- ity. "We recommend that you frame a count charging unlaw- ful and unconstitutional inter- ference with the operation of a federal program," Gang wrote. Sponsors of the Missouri de- velopmnent have approval f o r mortgage-interest supplements sunder the federal program enab- ling low-income families to pur- chase a home or cooperative apartment.
