DAILY gY Thursday, A-gust,6, 1970 TD "7tursday, Augusf6, 1970 I THE MlCH'1{#AN DAILY * * ~ - news briefs .0 By The Associated Press THE HOUSE tentatively approved yesterday a $55,000 ceil- ing on subsidy payments to producers of cotton, wheat and feed grains after beating back a move to cut it lower. A non-record voice vote affirmed the position taken by the House Agriculture Committee and endorsed by President Nixon. It is subject to a possible roll call vote later. TWO MILITANT PROTESTANT ORGANIZATIONS in Bel- fast, Northern Ireland announced yesterday they will defy a gov- ernment ban and march in Londonderry - the city where Ul- ster's bloody religious fighting began a year ago this month. The Protestant Unionist Association said it expected 5,000 en- thusiasts to rally and commemorate the 289th anniversary of Lon- donderry's victory over the Roman Catholic forces of King James II in a parade Aug. 17. The Ulster Protestant Volunteers also declared their defiance of the ban on parades in this tense British province. * * * INFORMANTS SAID yesterday that the United States and South Vietnam are waging an intensive air and ground offensive along a 200-mile stretch of the Laotian border in an effort to cut off troop infiltration and supply routes. The U.S. role, sources reported, is an intensified B52 bombing campaign in the Laotian panhandle. MICHIGAN REPERTORY ---university players--- Only 21 states show acceptance of 18-year-old vote measure Kenned cirested WASHINGTON () -- Fewer than half the states have met Atty. Gen. John Mitchell's dead- line for taking steps to give 18-year-olds the vote. The-Justice Department said yesterday only 21 of the 48 states now having higher voting-age minimums have indicated they will allow 18-year- old- voting without a court test of the new Voting Rights Act. Texas and Oregon already have presented pe- titions to the Supreme Court asking that it ban voting by 18-year-olds under the new act. Both backers and opponents of the 18-year- old vote are hopeful there will be a final ruling on the provision's constitutionality before it becomes effective next Jan. 1. Mitchell sent letters to the states on July 16 seeking written assurances of compliance with the new law and setting Aug. 8 as the deadline for re- plies. A compilation of replies showed 21 states have said they would comply with the age provision without awaiting a court test, five said they would not, five sought more time to respond, five are awaiting outcomes of court tests and two gave in- definite responses. Ten states did not reply. In addition, the Justice Department expects between three and six states to defy the provis- ion of the act which bans literacy and good-char- acter poll tests for voters. Eight of 14 states with the tests said they would be eliminated. Action against recalcitrant states on the 18- year-old voting, literacy tests and possibly a new requirement f o r uniform residency periods in presidential elections is expected at both the Dis- trict Court and Supreme Court levels. Although somewhat less controversial t h a n' t h e 18-year-old voting, suspension of literacy tests is perhaps the most pressing issue confront- ing the federal government because that provis- ion took effect June 22. Of the three states which indicated they would defy the ban on poll tests, only Arizona said so unequivocally. New Hampshire and Wyoming have indicated they would not comply and Idaho, North Carolina and Vermont were among the states that have not responded. HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (P) - Two 16-year-old Kennedy cous- ins--Robert Kennedy Jr. and R. Sargent S h r i v e r III - were charged Tuesday with mari- juana offenses and were ordered to appear in court today. Kennedy is the son of the late U.S. senator from New York and former U.S. attorney gen- eral. Shriver is the son of- the Kennedy in-law who stepped down last March as U.S. am- bassador to France. Parents of both issued state- ments expressing distress over the charges, which include ju- venile delinquency by reason of being present where narcotics were kept and illegal possession of marijuana and conspiracy. Ethel Kennedy, whose hus- band was slain while campaign- ing in California in June 1968, said: "Naturally I was distressed to learn last night that my son has been charged with having been in possession of marijuana on the 10th of last month. "This is of course a matter for the authorities to decide.

Iraq stepped up its attacks on Egypt for accepting the proposal and rival Palestine guerrilla groups clashed in Jordan over Cairo's stand. An Iraqi spokesman even went so far as to accuse President Gamal Abdel Nas- ser of Egypt of making a political blunder Police clash with blacks in Lima, 0. LIMA, Ohio (/P)-Sporadic racial vio- lence erupted last night over the slaying of a black woman and 350 National Guardsmen were called to help restore order. Police using an armored truck for pro- tection broke into a Black Panther head- quarters but found it empty. A policeman and a sheriff's deputy were among at least three persons wounded by gunshots in separate incidents. City police and sheriff's deputies from four counties surrounded after police said, snipers fired on police cars in the area. One fire bomb was hurled at a police car, officers said. City officials asked for the guardsmen after they said violence appeared to grow during the evening despite a curfew and an emergency ban on weapons. Deputy Sheriff C h a r 1 e s Martin was wounded by a shotgun blast and Bob Croft, a Dayton television newsman, was hit by pellets while pulling Martin to safety. An unidentified person had un- determined injuries. Other injuries reported were to three policemen duing an incident in which Christine Rick, a resident of the pre- dominantly black area, was shot to death by a policeman, police said. Police said they had arrested one sniper. Several police cruisers were punctured by snipers' bullets, officers said, but no one was reported hit. Mayor Christian P. Morris declared a state of emergency in this northwestern Ohio city of 52,000 and imposed an over- night curfew after the disorders broke out at dusk. All off-duty police, firemen and Allen County sheriff's deputies were called to duty. that led to the Arab defeat in the 1967 war with Israel. The dispute cast a shadow over the military strategy conference of defense ministers of five Arab states in Tripoli. Iraq boycotted the meeting. Two leading Arab guerrilla groups vowed last night to thwart implementa- tion of a Middle East cease-fire even by attacking U.N. peacekeeping forces. The threat was issued in Tripoli, Libya, where defense ministers of five Arab states met for a military strategy con- ference as unrest mounted in the Arab world over the U.S. peace proposal. Although uninvited to the conference, representatives of Al Fatah and the Pale- stine Popular Struggle Front showed up in Tripoli, held a joint news conference and declared their groups were prepared "to force U.N. observers off the cease-fire line to keep up the fight against Israel." Meanwhile in Washington, U.S. offic- ials said they will propose to Israel and Egypt that they police any Mideast cease- fire themselves, giving the United Na- tions only a token role. A large Iraqi delegation, which arrived in Moscow on Tuesday, attended a luncheon yesterday at which Soviet De- puty Premier Kirill Mazurov voted sup- port for "a fair political settlement." At the United Nations, the chief U.N. delegates of the Big Four powers met yesterday and pronounced developments "favorable for the resumption" of U.N. envoy Gunnar Jarring's peace mission. The action paved the way for U.N. Secretary-General U Thant to activate a new effort by Jarring, the Swedish am- bassador to Moscow who attempted to mediate the dispute after the 1967 war. It was the first meeting of the U.S., Soviet, British and French representatives since Egypt, Jordan and Israel accepted the U.S. proposal. After the three-hour session, U.S. Am- bassador Charles W. Yost announced: "The representatives of the four powers discussed the latest developments, which are favorable for the resumption of Am- bassador Jarring's mission." Meanwhile, Israel made it clear that it will keep up the fight until Jarring's peace mission gets under way. Israeli planes swept across two fronts, striking Arab guerrilla bases in Jordan and Egyptian military targets along the Suez Canal, the military command in Tel Aviv reported. In Amman, commando sources said two guerrilla groups, one supporting Nasser's approval of the U.S. plan and the other opposing it, fought in North Jordan dur-, ing the night.
