THE, BATTLE for the Kiri Rom plateau in Cambodia end-
ed yesterday in a major Communist victory as the last govern-
ment troops fled from the hill resort.
Meanwhile, the Phnom Penh government has decided to restrict
the operations of South Vietnamese troops in Cambodia because of
their large-scale looting.
THE ALL-BLACK PAUL QUINN COLLEGE in Waco, Texas
was closed yesterday after firemen called to put out several cam-
pus fires were pelted with rocks. The cafeteria was destroyed.
The fires and rock throwing followed a demonstration Tuesday
night by students protesting the firing of certain school personnel.
PRIME MINISTER GOLDA MEIR'S government failed againE
yesterday to reach agreement on the U.S. Middle East peace plan.
And Iraq pledged to thwart the American proposal even at the
risk of an Arab civil war.
The Iraqi threat came in an announcement over Baghdad Radio
while the Israeli cabinet held its second two-hour meeting in three
days without replying to the U.S. proposal, already accepted by Egypt
and Jordan.
Radio Baghdad also said the 10,000 Iraqi troops based in Jordan
-another 8,000 are stationed in Syria-has been placed under the
Palestinian guerrilla command.
UNION LEADERS ACCEPTED yesterday a compromise wage
offer and called off Britain's two-week-old national dock strike
just before it began to really hurt.
Delegates representing 46,000 members of the Transport and Gen-
eral Workers Union voted 51-31 to return to work Monday.
The delegates accepted "an interim measure'" a complicated wage
formula proposed by an independent inquiry court and already ac-
cepted by the employers.
Its main provision will add about $6 to the worker's average week-
ly earnings of $84. The fallback rate - the minimum paid to every
man whether the ports have work for him or not - goes up from
$40.80 to $48.
WHOLESALE PRICES rose five-tenths of one per cent in
July, the sharpest hike in six months.
The increase, attributed largely to a steep rise in food prices1
was announced in San Clemente where President Nixon is putting
final preparations on the budget, estimated at $215 to $220 billion.
Meanwhile the Treasury Department revealed that one-fifth
of the money from the President's revenue-sharing bill would be
split up by New York and California.

ROTC losses
paid by
University
The University has agreed to
pay $18,700 for ROTC equipment
stolen or damaged in the May
takeover of North Hall, it was
disclosed yesterday.
This money was paid out of
University self-insurance fund
which gets its assets from sev-
eral University divisions includ-
ing residence halls.
Despite the return Tuesday of
several itemsyallegedly taken
during the May 6-7 takeover,
several objects including radio
parts and a mimeograph ma-
chine were still unaccounted for.
Of the $18,700 payment,
$14,200 was for ROTC equip-
ment and the rest was for Uni-
versity it'ems. The payment was
made because the University's
insurance policy is $25,000 de-
ductable.
Approximately two-thirds of
the money is payment for mis-
sing items and the other third
is for damage repair.
Friday the FBI attempted to
get into the Legal Self-Defense
office and confiscate several
items allegedly stolen in May.
Lacking a warrant however,they
were denied access to the office
and had not returned to the of-
fice when a ROTC represent-
ative came and picked them up
Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (P)-The U.S.
government has given its okay
to a proposed sale of U.S. auto
gear to Red China and has again
indicated its interest in improv-
ing relations with the Peking
regime.
At the same time the State
Department portrayed President
Nixon as favoring more diplo-
matic contacts with the Chinese
mainland government rather
than the formal diplomatic rec-
ognition.
Press Officer John King made
these points yesterday in answer
to newsmen's queries:
-A proposal for sale to Red
China of a reported 80 Italian-
made dump trucks with Gen-
eral Motors engines- would be
okay under the Nixon adminis-
tration's new relaxation of U.S.
trade restrictions on sales to
Communist China. The proposed
sale was described as the first
major one of its kind since the
Treasury Department eased the
trade ban last December.
The total sale would come to
about $2.4 million, officials said,
but they had not figured im-
mediately on what part of that
the GM engines and parts would
be worth.
-Nixon was not talking about
"recognition of C o m m u n i s t
China" in chatting with ABC
newsman Howard Smith after a
television interview last month,
as some press reports indicated.
Rather, the President was
talking about diplomatic con-
tacts such as at Warsaw . . . We
have been more ready than the
Chinese to have talks."
Red China advised British
Foreign Office yesterday of a
decision to release George Watt,
a Briton jailed on spying
charges. His release would come
nearly eight months before the
completion of. his three-year
sentence.
The move was a new sign of
an apparent willingness by the
Peking government to warm its
longfrozen relations with Eng-
land.y
Communist China will send
an official delegation to France
for a state visit next year, a
French government spokesman
in Paris announced yesterday.
