Edward Kennedy (D.-Mass.) for an afternoon rally in Detroit's Kennedy Square. An enthusiastic crowd of some 10,000 people heard McGovern evoke the memory of the late President John Kennedy - who 4 stood in the same spot twelve years earlier, also trailing Richard Nixon in the polls. . Kennedy's presence on this cam- paign swing, which will take Mc- Govern to several major northern industrial cities, was clearly in- tended to help McGovern cash in on the Kennedy appeal to work- ing people, particularly organized { tabor. Most of McGovern's remarks were directed towards this work- ing class audience, as he attacked the Nixon administration for its close ties with business. "I will win this election with the support of people who make their living by honest toil, not through tax loopholes," McGovern pro- claimed. Many union officials were on hand at the rally, and both UAW President Leonard Woodcock and Vice-President Douglas Fraser ad- dressed the crowd.

The bill, one of President Nixon's priority items; was sent to the House which passed a different version June 22. If House and Senate conferees reach a compromise on the bill promptly, the first funds will go out to eligible states, cities, counties and townships by late October, before the Nov. 7 presidential election. The most important difference between the House and Senate versions of the bill is in the formula for distribution D GEORGE McGOVERN grasps the outstretched hands of some of the 1 troit's Kennedy Square yesterday to hear him atta:k the economic p LEGALITY QUESTIONED: of the funds. The Senate bill, as compared with theHouse version allocates ~. ~ ~ more money to the less-populous states, but within the states, the central cities fare much better than the suburbs.

Russell Long (D-La.), floor manager for the bill, succeeded in fighting off all attempts to change the formula to help the big states.

Viets f entrance SAIGON (P - South Vietnamese marines stormed into the Quang Tri Citadel yesterday and battled communists in what likely will be one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam war. About 400 communist troops kept up stubborn resistance from bunk-' ers inside the fortress as South Vietnamese forces attacked from the north, east and south. CMeanwhile, marines outside the Citadel's walls were closing off North Vietnamese avenues of sup- ply and reinforcement. One marine battalion southwest of the fortress has been blocking the communists' river supply route. In addition monsoon rains have swollen the Thach Han River west of the provincial capital helping to cut the Citadel's normal lifeline. Marine spokespersons have re- ported "im o d e r a t e" casualties, claiming many communists were surrendering without a fight. Court acts to force busing, WASHINGTON OP) - Supreme Court Justice William Douglas re- fused to block a school busing de- segregation plan for Las Vegas, Nev. yesterday. Douglas ruled the so-called Broomfield Amendment does not apply to the desegregation or- dered by a federal judge for some 30,000 elementary pupils in 52 of the city's schools. The decision blunts Congress' attempt to halt court-ordered bus- ing in school desegregation cases. Earlier this month Justice Lewis Powell Jr. also held that the amendment, enacted last June, did not apply in an Augusta, Ga., case. Whether Douglas' ruling will send the children to their class- rooms or not was unclear. Al- though other public schools open- ed on schedule in Las Vegas Sept. 6, the children affected by the de- segregation orders of U.S. Judge Bruce Thompson have remained at home while the school board fought in courts to overrule him. In their brief to Douglas for a stay the board officials had the support of the Justice Depart- ment, which suggested Powell had erred in refusing a similar request from Augusta officials. corn at the Pike Place Market in An unidentified New Jersey top-over on his four state trip. man carrying a rifle was arrested by Detroit police about an hour be-; HEAD: fore the rally. .

Council members again ran into controversy over proposed pay in- creases for district court judges.- The judges are paid $19,500 by the state. .,Ann Arbor currently sup- plements this amount by another $9,500, making the pay total $29,- 000. Because the current case load of the judges is reportedly one of- the highest in southeastern Michi- gan, an additional $2,000 raise of the city pay supplement was pro- posed. HRP objections notwithstanding, the raises were approved, 9-2, with I all Democratic and Republican council members voting yes. Approximately 3,000 people have registered to vote in Ann Arbor alone since last May's primary, and none of them will be eligible for selection for jury duty until next May.
