DEM. CONVENTION:
ne aws bri e s Secret Service to check
by The Associated Press news persons' credentials
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
announced an almost-total ban on domestic use of DDT yester-
day. The decision, effective next Dec. 31, was appealed im-
mediately by both sides in the dispute.
Manufacturers of the chemical asked a federal court in New
Orleans to set aside the EPA directive, while environmentalists filed
an appeal with a Washington court calling for elimination of the
remaining exceptions to the DDT ban.
William Ruckelhaus, director of the EPA. said that methyl
parathion, a highly toxic, but fast-decomposing chemical could be
used instead of DDT.
HENRY KISSINGER, President Nixon's national security
advisor, is leaving this week for his fourth trip to the People's
Republic of China, a follow-up to the summit meeting last
February.
Topics for discussion with Chinese officials have not been
announced, but the trip comes at a time when their criticism of the
bombing of North Vietnam has been extremely harsh.

WASHINGTON (A') - The
U.S. Secret Service told the
news media yesterday it will'
screen the credentials of all re-
porters covering the Democratic
presidential nominating con-
vention.
The group of news persons
charged with assigning space
to news organizations at the
convention objected, saying the
move might give the Secret
Service "an unprecedented veto
of who will cover the conven-
tion."
The announcement was made
by the Democratic National
Committee which said all per-
sons receiving any type of press
credentials to the convention
must provide personal informa-
tion to the Secret Service.

and is to be received no later
than June 26, the Democratic
committee said.
The Standing Committee of
Correspondents, the group
charged with press arrange-
ments for coverage of Congress,
the conventions and presiden-
tial inaugurals, said it takes
sharp exception to the plan.
Other than giving the Sec-
ret Service a possible veto on
who covers the story, the move
"undermines the traditional au-
thority of accreditation so long
held by this committee," the or-
ganization said.
In a statement, the organiza-
tion added, "Recognizing the
need for security, we believe
this commitee should be con-
sulted on standards and proce-
dures before any member of the
press is summarily excluded
from the convention."
John Warner, public affairs
spokesman for the protective
agency, said the screening
"gives us no more of a"veto
than we ever had when it in-
volved people in the vicinity of
the people we were there to
protect."
He said an individual could
be expelled "if the Secret Serv-
ice felt this type of person
should not be in the vicinity of
a candidate."
He said the screening gives

Nixon to
give brief
on SALT
WASHINGTON (A) - President
Nixon invited 122 members of
Congress to the White House to-
day to talk about arms curbs he
initiated in Moscow and to ques-
tion the sometimes-elusive Henry
Kissinger.
It wa sto be perhaps the larg-
est congressional briefing ever
scheduled for the White House
and .signified the latest adminis-
tration maneuver in a determin-
ed search for Senate and House
approval of "first step" arms
accords.
Those invited included all
members of the five key com-
mittees directly involved- in con-
sidering:
-The Moscow treaty to limit
defensive strategic missiles, sub-
ject to apkproval by two-thirds
of the Senate.
-A companion five-year exe-
cutive agreement to curb offen-
sive missiles - for which Nixon
seeks a majority vote in both
hsouses.
LONDON (AP) - Britain's
Conservative government won
a thin majority of only eight
votes last night in a crucial
test of its plan to take the na-
tion into the European Common
market,
The vote in the House of
Commons was 296-288.
Normally the government has
a majority of 27 in the 630-
seat house. It was perhaps sav-
ed by 46 abstentions or absen-
tees, a high total for such a
critical ballot.
The vote was on the most
controversial clause in the leg-
islation to align British laws
with those of the European
trading bloc.
It is the so-called sovereignty
clause providing that the law
of the European communities
shall override British law.
The vote came in committee
stage, with the whole house
sitting as a committee. As such
it was not a vote of confidence
where defeat would have forced
the government to resign.
The House approved entry into
the European Common Market
in principle last October by a
majority of 112. Any clause in the
enabling legislation defeated in
committee stage could be put
back in for the final vote at the
end of the parliamentary pro-
cess. -
But a defeat would have spell-
ed trouble for prospects of push-
ing the bill through in the end.
Immediately after the vote
Michael Foot, opposition Labor
party spokesman on the bill, de-
manded a statement by Prime
Minister Edward Heath "in view

Any affirmative action plan
will be "kind of a slow process."
he admits, however.
Budget cuts and stabilization
of the University's size have
severely curtailed the number of
new openings available to both
men and women, he claims.
Fleming says that "it will be
easier" to bring women into
non-faculty positions than fac-
ulty posts.
