Scrapping the U.S project, he added, would cost the government many millions, eliminate at least 150,000 jobs and perhaps "be a mor- tal blow to our aerospace industry." The Senate voted 52-41 Thursday to deny a Nixon request for an additional $290 million to develop and test fly two prototypes of the giant craft designed to fly 1,800 miles per hour. A BIG FOUR COMPROMISE eliminating divided Berlin as a source of East-West conflict could open the way for general Western recognition of Communist East Germany, allied diplo- mats said yesterday. This report signals a new attitude on the part of NATO mem- bers, who have never before been prepared to talk about acknowledge- ment of East Germany's sovereignty. The change is a direct result of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt's efforts to normalize relations with its East European neigh- bors. * * * EAST PAKISTAN sources said yesterday Indian police and citizens attacked the enclave of Batigrach on Wednesday, killing 300 persons and injuring 700. They said that women were kidnaper, houses burned and property looted. Among the dead were women and children, they added. This occurs at the same time that Pakistanis are both recoveringI from the devastating cyclone of Nov. 12-13, which killed hundreds of! thousands, and voting in an important election to return the country to civilian rule. * * * AN ISRAELI ARMY PATROL clashed with a group of{ Egyptians who had crossed the southern sector of the Suez canal yesterday morning. A military spokesman said that one Egyptian was killed and there were no Israeli casualties. It was the first time that forces from either side of the canal had attempted to cross the waterway since the cease-fire went into effect Aug. 7. POPE PAUL'S NEXT TRIP may well be to an East European communist country, Vatican sources said yesterday. Such a trip would re-emphasize the Pope's continued efforts at establishing a dialog with communist countries, and would follow the pontiff's recent journey to the Far East. There were indications, though, that the 73-year-old Pope would not have enough time to take another lengthy trip, if rumors that he plans to abdicate within two years prove true.

DOZENS ARRESTED: Strikes agains 't trial of Basque nationalists continue in1Spain Ie WASHINGTON (A') - Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield urged President Nixon yesterday to join with congressional Demo- crats in an effort to curb infla- tion and unemployment. Other- wise, he said, the issues will pro- duce political bickering and "the nation will suffer." Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) 1o n g a critic of administration economic policy, said Nixon had taken the first step toward using the power and prestige of t h e White House to curb prices and thus halt inflation. Mansfield, from Montana, de- scribed as piecemeal t h e steps Nixon announced to reduce oil prices, and to curb costly wage settlements in t h e construction industry. Proxmire endorsed the steps Nixon is taking to increase the supply of oil and thus lower its price. "These are steps I have long advocated," Proxmire said in a statement. "I endorse the Presi- dent's actions, and I believe they, will help stop price rises and get the economy moving again." "The words were a little strong- er than usual," Mansfield said of Nixon's speech to the National As- sociation of Manufacturers. But he noted that Nixon had singled out two industries for special in- flation-fighting steps. "Senate Democrats are willing and eager to work with the Presi- dent to face up to the economic issue and to keep it from becom- ing partisan," Mansfieldsaidrin an interview. "It will become par- tisan if the administration and Congress don't work in tandem to- gether." Specifically, Mansfield recom- mended a wage-price freeze of 30 to 60 days as a first step toward providing "t h e firm foundation for a permanent policy." The White House has rejected repeated Democratic calls for wage-price controls. In addition, Mansfield said, Nixon should invoke authority al- ready voted him by Congress to reduce interest rates. Sen.-George D. Aiken (R-Vt.), said Tuesday that the economic situation already has reached the depression stage. "I think it has reached the proportions of a de- pression," said Aiken, the Sen- ate's senior Republican.

"We ain't rollin' nothing" was the word from the city's largest taxicab fleet owner. The drivers are seeking raises to bring them to parity with subway and bus workers, who earn $175-$200 a week, compared to the taxi drivers weekly pay of $150. Most Manhattan inhabitants seemed pleased when questioned about the disappearance of the frenetic yellow automobiles. "Beauti- ful," said a traffic cop. "Get rid of the buses and we'll be all set." 't I 7 l i s MADRID (AP) - West German officials received a communication yesterday from kidnaped Eugene Beihl, saying he was well. Beihl was abducted .Wednesday to pro- test the military trial in Burgos of 16 young Basque nationalists. Demonstrations against the trial continued in Spain, as about 15,- 000 workers defied the govern- ment's state of emergency, decreed Friday, and stayed on strike in Burgo's province of Guipuzcoa to protest the trial. A hunger strike continued in Barcelona. West German consulate officials in Bilbao said they received a post card in an envelope from Beihl, U.S. STUDY IN VIETNAM Report hits refugee programs kidnaped by Basque terrorists, say- ing he was well and "humanely treated." There was no indication of where he was being held. The post card was mailed in Vitoria, provincial capital of Alava Province, about 60 miles south of San Sebastian where Beihl was kidnaped four days ago. The kidnapers are said to have warned that Beihl will face the same fate of the Basques b e i n g tried. Six of the defendants face death sentences. The government imposed the state of emergency, allowing ar- rests without warrants, in an at- tempt to break up the sympathy strikes and other disturbances. The reports from Guipuzcoa Province said that despite the con- tinued walkout of the 15,000 there were no disorders. But police were reported making dozens of ar- rests. In Barcelona, 16 young men and women entered the third day of their "hunger strike until death" in an attempt to halt the court- martial of the Basques, advo- cates of autonomy for their- re- gion. The 16 hunger strikers include well-known local lawyers, doctors and journalists. They occupied the Spanish headquarters of the Uni- ted Nations Association Wednes- day and pledged to go without food Ann Arbor police to add two patrolwomen unless the cases are transferred to a civil court." "We do not belong to any poli- tical party," said Marcos' Plames, 30, a lawyer hunger striker. "We all feel this is an issue of basic human rights." The seven-man court-martial in Burgos rejected a petition from one of the defending lawyers that the trial be adjourned until norm- ality is restored in Guipuzcoa Pro- vince. The defendants, who attend ses- sions manacled and escorted by armed police, include two Catholic priests and three women. WASHINGTON (IP) - Congressional investigat- ors yesterday criticized the way U.S. and South Vietnamese officials are handlfng programs in- tended to assist millions of war refugees. Findings of the General Accounting Office (GAO) reflect "the warped sense of reality and progress which pervades so much of our country's activities throughout Indochina," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), asserted in releasing the report GAO made to the Senate Refugees subcom- mittee he heads. After years of war "and a continuing rhetoric of progress" from official quarters, Kennedy add- ed, the GAO report "finds a situation which con- tinues to deteriorate" in the attempt to obtain a successful pacificaion program keyed to rehabili- tation of war victims. On refugee facilities, the GAO reported there are "considerable shortfalls in construction and adequacy of needed facilities, such as housing, classrooms, wells, medical facilities, medical serv- ices and sanitation facilities." Reporting on a temporary refugee camp at Thanh Tay in Quang Nam province where 6,000 refugees have been since 1967, GAO said:, "We found that the shelters were crudely con- structed and that these people were living in very crowded conditions. The camp was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire . . . guarded by Vietnam government military. "We were informed that these people were all Viet Cong sympathizers. We observed some wells, one classroom, no latrines, and no medical facili- ties. The people and their clothes were very dirty. "The U.S. refugee adviser stated that these people had received their 30-day food allow- ance and that no other assistance had been pro- vided them by the military." This year, GAO added, about 64 per cent of the refugee resettlement budget had been allocated to provinces by June 1 but only 12 per cent had been spent by province chiefs. By JONATHAN MILLER I Two women-will begin training this month for positions as patrol- women with the Ann Arbor police department. The women,- who will graduate fromtraining school in March of next year according to a police spokesman, will bring to three the number of women police officers on the force. There are 186 male officers pre- sently serving with the depart- ment. The spokesman said that the women will undertake normal pa- trol duty after graduation from training school but will be used specifically in cases where "women are particularly qualified," such as cases involving female suspects. The women will be uniformed and will carry side-arms and will work together in a mobile unit. The only woman officer pre- sently working on the force is not a patrolwoman, but a police- woman. The difference, according to the spokesman, is that a police- woman works in plainclothes oh detective assignments, while a pa- trolwoman will undertake basically the same duties as a male officer on patrol duty. The decision to hire the women was taken after extensive investi- gation of the experience of other police agencies with women per- sonnel, the spokesman said. He cited the New Orleans Police De- partment which assigns several women to patrol duty. The women who are entering training school will receive an ex- tensive ten-week course in driv- ing, marksmanship, law and other subjects.
