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.

PAOrMvuttAS6 (Co.YTm AL" 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.
