In Double Knit Polye ter $18 WASHINGTON (A) - In a vote on a draft bill amendment yes- terday, the Senate decided I lower by 10 per cent the proposed ceiling in the number of men who can be drafted in the next two years. The provision passed also in- cluded a specification stating that the President must seek congressional approval if he wants to draft more than the pre- scribed number of men. The proposed ceiling, 270,000 in the two year period beginning July 1, is considered to be well above the number who will ac- tually be drafted under present plans. In voting for the first congres- sional ceilings on the draft since 1940, the Senate rejected a move to set an even lower limit of 100,000 next year and 60,000 in the following year. Sen. Robert Taft Jr. (R-Ohio) said the lower numbers would be more in accord with the likely draft calls as the administration heads toward its goal of phasing out the draft by mid-1973. The Pentagon meanwhile said that Senate approval of a $2.7- billion military pay increase, far beyond the $1 billion asked by the administration but close to what the House voted, would require cuts in defense contracts, per- sonnel totals and military bases unless extra money is voted.

Already the couple face many problems, including a cardboard wedding cake and a guest list that includes Ralph Nader. Yesterday Cox declined comment on whether Tricia was a "liberated woman." June 17 deadline set in New York walkout NEW YORK (M) - As about 7,500 city strikers returned to drawbridges and other munici- pal installations yesterday, a union of 150,000 state em- ployes set a June 17 deadline for a walkout,, with 38 mental hospitals indicated as a prime target. The two-day strike was an ef- fort by the AFL-CIO Munici- pal Employes Union to force a pension agreement on t h e state legislature. It ended in a compromise Tuesday n i g h t after affecting not only draw- bridlges, but sewage treatment plants, garbage incinerators, water supply and parks, and * threatening grade school lunch- rooms. The threat of a statewide strike came from the C i v i l Service Employes Association, and was aimed at blocking Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's an - nounced plan to lay off 8,200 state employes as an economy measure. The strike ended with an agreement to submit the pen- sion proposal anew to the 1972 legislature. If it again fails to pass, the city and the union would negotiate a method to add the estimated $30 million in pension costs to some other segment of the contract and thus sidestep the need for state approval. The municipal workers strike Monday snarled traffic in the area of the city's 29 drawbridg- es. Most of them were locked open by bridgetenders, w h o then walked off the jobs. Despite a state Supreme Court back-to-work order, the strike spread Tuesday to 2,000 sew- age treatment plant employes, 300 incinerator workmen, and 50 drivers who deliver fto o d staples to the city's grade school lunchrooms. om rOr DE NMA RK and SW EDE N SA LE $5.00 Choose from a Variety of Colors MAST'S SHOES 619 E.
