Rep. John McFall (D-Calif.) yesterday delivered what was billed as the Democratic party's response to Presi- dent Nixon's recent energy message. But it wasn't much of a response. McFall echoed Nixon's warnings against blaming anyone for the shortages - an indirect slap at oil company critics. Further, McFall promised that Dem- ocrats would work with Nixon as a "partner" in solv- ing the crises. Miner difficulties The British. miners' union threatened yesterday to begin an all-out national strike Feb. 10. Lawrence Daly, general secretary of the National Union of Minework- ers, said in a speech that if the union membership rati- fies its leaders' call for a strike, the walkout could begin by that date. Government spokespersons said a national strike by coal miners could mean more severe elec- tricity cutbacks within five weeks. Phnom Penh hit Insurgents fired more than 100 artillery rounds into Phnom Penh yesterday, the third day the rebels have shelled the capital city. It was the heaviest barrage since the rebels, believed armed with captured Ameri- can-made artillery, opened up Thursday night with a 46-round bombardment. War study urged A Senate subcommittee has issued a report urging 'that the United States study the impact of its Indochina war bombing on civilians and take the lead in drafting treaty controls. New diplomatic efforts to end the con- tinuing violence in Vietnam, a year after the Paris cease- fire agreement, and top priority for humanitarian aid were also among major recommendations of the Sen ate Judiciary subcommittee on refugees. Murder city Dallas Police Chief Don Byrd yesterday orlered an all-out effort to solve a spree of killings and rolberies that has led to'the death of 13 store clerks and the shooting of several since November. "I want an end to this and I want it fast," said Byrd. The stepped-up ef- fort followed Friday's shooting of one grocery clerk and the disappearance of another. Forrest Fuller, a 36-year- old grocery clerk, was shot in the head Friday after- noon by two gunmen who also took the drive-in store's cash register. Fuller was in critical condition yester- day. Friday night, Rita Simon, 22, a woman clerk, ap- parently was kidnaped from the drive-in grocery where she was on duty alone. Murder or mercy? A Mineola, N.Y. prosecutor has sought to build a "murder of convenience" case against Dr. Vincent Mon- temarano, whom he had earlier called a "mercy killer." The defense starts cross-examination Monday of Dr. Anthony Di Benedetto, Montemarano's former medical chief. Friday, he haltingly told the court that the ac- cused had confessed to giving an incurably ill cancer patient a lethal injection "to stop his heart." Monte- marano, 34, former chief residentsurgeon at the Nassau County Medical Center, is charged with first-degree murder in the Dec. 7, 1972 death of retired Long Island Rail Road engineer Eugene Bauer. Demo unsuccessful A few hardy members of the American anti-war movement gathered in the chilling drizzle outside the State Department in Washington yesterday in a vain attempt to present Secretary of State Henry Kissinger with the "Ignoble War Prize for 1973." Some 250 pro- testers including Jane .Fonda, hoped to give Kissinger the award-a sarcastic take off of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded him last year- to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Vietnam peace agreement. Kissinger, how- ever, was in New York and no department official, not even a policeman, would take it for him. d 'A cry from the heart' A black student whose essay urging the desegregation of Philadelphia schools won him a $1,000 prize says he may drop out of high school because the coming of integration "will be much too late for me." William Vernon Lee's five-page handwritten piece-which won a newspaper's essay contest on improving Philly's schools-was described by one judge as "a cry from the heart for desegregation." Lee says he's so discour- aged that he's not learning anymore. "Sooner or later the schools will become desegregated, but it will be much too late for me," he wrote.

A2' weather Tension NEW YORK (Reuter) - Several million fight fans hunched over television sets yesterday to watch Mu- hammad Ali and Joe Frazier tangle in what has become known as "The Brawl of the Century." Meanwhile,. the two ex-heavyweight champions of the world packed their gear and prepared to leave their respective training camps in Pennsylvania to drive to Manhattan and disappear into secret hide- outs in the city to await today's weigh-in for their 12- round rematch here tomorrow night.

LAST OF THE ORIGINALS: Treasury chief Shultz to resign, friends c laim WASHINGTON (' - The Senate Watergate Committee has postponed a new round of hearings scheduled to begin next week to avoid prejudic- ing the trial of two former Nixon c a b i n e t members, Chairman Sam Ervin (D-N. C.) said yesterday. He did not say when they would be rescheduled. ERVIN ANNOUNCED the post- ponement in a one-sentence state- ment read by an aide and offered no explanation for the action be- yond the reference to the impend- ing trial offormer Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans. The two are accused of exert- ing influence on behalf of Robert Vesco, a financier facing a federal suit, in exchange for a $200,000 con- tribution to the President's re-elec- tion campaign. The trial was to have begun Jan. 9 in New York but defense lawyers have obtained three postpone- ments. THE NEW ROUND of Water- gate committee hearings was to have begun next Tuesday, focus- ing on a $100,000 contribution from billionaire recluse Howard Hughes to the Nixon campaign. Sources have said the donation, held and later returned to Hughes by the President's friend C. G. "Bebe" Rebozo, came as Hughes sought to purchase the Dunes hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The Justice Department's anti- trust division had blocked the pur- chase, but sources said Mitchell, then attorney general, overruled the decision after meeting with Hughes aide Richard Danner. The hotel, however, never was pur- chased by Hughes. Rebozo and Danner were among those sched- uled to testify next week. THE NEW HEARINGS were scheduled by the committee's Democratic members over the ob- jections of the panel's three Re- publican members. The Republi- cans said they felt the hearings would disclose no new information. Meanwhile, the committee is Sock hop: S tep ping, strolling students By STEPHEN SELBST Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya wanna dance? If so, Markley Hall was the place to be last night as residents rekindled their insatiable craving for early rock 'n roll and group role playing. For the second time in two years, Markley was the scene of a huge sock hop with hundreds of partici- pants s h o w i n g up in leather jackets, T-shirts, b o b b y socks, p 1 e a t e d skirts, and ratted or greased hair to join in the festivi- ties and escape to the past for one also awaiting resolution of a court battle with the White House over five tapes of Nixon's conversa- tions with his former counsel, John Dean. The White House said the tapes were covered by executive privi- lege under which a president's conversations with his aides must remain confidential. BUT JUDGE Gerhard Gesell called on Nixon Friday for a de- tailed statement by Feb. 1 on what portions of the tapes he still considers privileged. He said the President's claims were "too general" and outdated by court rulings that led to the tapes being surrendered to the Watergate grand jury. Senate Republicanf leader Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), has said he has seen transcripts of Nixon-Dean tapes that would clear Nixon in the Watergate coverup. SPECIAL Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski said later,, how- ever, that he had no evidence that would support any perjury charges against Dean, who in Senate testi- mony last year said he believed the President knew of the coverup as early as September.

WASHINGTON (A') - Treasury Secretary George Shultz, the lone remaining member of President Nixon's original cabinet, may re- sign within the next several months, his friends say. They say there is no firm date for Shultz's departure, cautioning, "what could be true now may be wrong in two weeks." HOWEVER, the Washington Star- News reported yesterday t h at Shultz would soon resign and said he declined to comment. The New York Times also quoted friends of Shultz yesterday as saying he would soon resign and said he de- clined to comment. The New York Times also quoted friends of Shultz yesterday as saying he would re- sign by April 1. Shultz, 58, is considered one of Nixon's most loyal and trusted ad- visers. Friends say he does not want his resignation to appear as if he is deserting the President in a time of need. Shultz joined the Nixon cabinet as secretary of labor in 1969, serv- vs nt h- -d e g Construction to give U' a needed f acelift ed as the first director of the new Office of Management and Budget, and later succeeded John Connally as secretary of the treasury. FRIENDS SAY Shultz feels he has achieved his main purposes as secretary of the treasury, includ- ing the devaluations of the dollar that have improved the U. S. trade position, the new world monetary system of floating exchange rates and establishment of the new Fed- eral Energy Office. Shultz was formerly dean of the graduate school of business at the University of Chicago and is con- sidered the first economist to oc- cupy the post of secretary of the treasury in modern times. He recently told reporters he would like totreturn to academic life when he steps down from gov- ernment, and friends say he has been offered the presidency of a major university. SHULTZ'S WIFE also has con- fided to friends she would like to return to university life. Shultz is known to have informed the White House last summer of his intention to resign, but reports say he was dissuaded from leav- ing by President Nixon. Shultz disagreed last summer over the President's decision to im- pose a new price freeze on the economy. something the secretary felt would be harmful to the econ- omy in the long run. IN A RECENT speech in New York, Sh'tltz talked about his ex- periences in Washington in the A UNITED PRESS International survey reached 402 of the 431 House members or top aides allow- ed to speak for them late last week. All participated in the sur- vey on nimpeachment and 398 re- plied on the issue of resignation. The survey showed that 55 now favor Nixon's impeachment; 87 do not;182 are undecided; and 74 de- clined to comment. The poll disclosed that 89 favor resignation; 139 do not; 48 are undecided; and 126 declined com- ment. ALMOST ALL of those who favor impeachment and most of those who want Nixon to resign are t Democrats. B u t the responses crossed gemgraphical lines with similar answers from all sections of the country. See SURVEY, Page 2 "THEY ARE obviously biased one way or another even before they hear the testimony." Many of those classifying them- selves as undecided or those who did not want to comment sided with Hunt, but without criticizing their more outspoken colleagues. They pointed out that the House would sit as a grand jury which which must decide whether Nixon should be indicted and tried by the Senate. In that position, they feel it would be improper to reach a decision or comment until all the evidence is presented by the Judi- ciary Committee. REP. HAMILTON FISH (R-N.Y.) commented, "It would be inap- propriate until the investigation is completed to prejudge the evidence By JEFFERY LUXENBERG Despite the scarcity of funds in recent years, a series of building projects that will change the face of the central campus and expand use of the University's. north cam- pus property are going forward un- der full steam. The molding of the University's visual shape is handled by the physical properties department, which buys property and plans, constructs and maintains buildings. ACCORDING to department Di- rector John Weidenbach, several new north campus buildings top the list of construction projects be- ing managed by the department's plant extension division. Soon to be finished, Weidenbach savs, is a new building for the NORTH CAMPUS will also be the site of a new recreation build- ing that will include an indoor swimming pool along with other athletic facilities. Completion of construction is scheduled for Sep- tember 1975, Weidenbach says. Outside north campus, the Uni- versity's chief building project is a new field house under construc- tion on Ferry Field. The field house, which is being built on ath- letic department funds, should be comnleted sometime in April or May. Its f-cilities will include h-seball fields as wall as an in- door track and indoor tennis co-rts.
