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.

THE DEATH TOLL from last week's disastrous flood which hit Rapid City, S.D. reached 203 yesterday as National Guards- men continued to search for flood victims. 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. Requested information in- cludes full name, age, sex, date and place of birth, Social Se- curity number, current state. city and street address, tele- phone number, employer and occupations.

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."

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 of such +a derisory majority."

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. GEORGE MARTIN (who brought you the Beatles) 141 HillTRET i PINBALL comes to PACKARD & STATE!
