campaign to halt seaborne

During the 43-day opera-

Tay Ninh province 45 to 65
miles northwest of Saigon,
U. S. forces reported killing
1,106 of the enemy.
At its peak, the U. S. com-

Official U. S. spokesmen

they were thought to have

showed that some were still

MUSKOGEE (AP) — U. S.
Rep. Ed Edmondson (D-

Friday from the hospital
where he had been under
treatment since Wednesday
for an ailment diagnosed as
virus gastritis.
Dr. C. L. Oglesbee. Ed-
mondson’s physician, said he
has ordered the Second dis-
t r i c t congressman from
Muskogee to slow down his
activities until he has fully
recovered.
“It would be kind of nice
for him to take a trip some-
place and rest a little," Dr.
Oglesbee said.
Long Lives
Emphasized
ly endorsed Johnson’s efforts
toward reductions in non-es-
sential expenditures.
Johnson, since assuming
the presidency, has met
many times with the bipart-
isan leadership. But Fri-
day’s conference was the
first such meeting at the
LB J ranch.
The presidential news ses-
sion was so hurriedly ar-
ranged that newsmen had to
be taken to the ranch by hel-
icopters from Austin, 65
miles to the west. Johnson,
who said he is feeling fine
following his November 16
operations for a throat polyp
and repair of an incisional
hernia, wore a light tan
sports outfit with a big presi-
dential seal on it.
Ford ‘Good Friend’
The news conference was
in the refurbished ranch
hangar which now has a tile
floor, sound insulation and
air conditioners.
Johnson began by telling
newsmen the discussions
with the leaders Included the
military and diplomatic situ-
ations in Viet Nam, the eco-
nomic situation and program
cutbacks.
In yielding the lectern to
Ford, he described the GOP
house leader as “My good
friend and associate.”
Johnson said budget Direc-
tor Charles L. Schultze, with
whom he also conferred Fri-
day, will meet with cabinet
members early next week to
make further recommenda-
tions for cutting back gov-
ernment programs. He said
he would take prompt action
on them.
Plenty of Latitude
Asked his appraisal of the
military situation, Johnson
said much of the latest re-
ne added:
“The summary is that the
military operations continue
to be successful. Our forces
maintain the initiative. Our
losses are light.”
The president gave him-
self considerable latitude
when asked how much extra
money will be requested to
meet war costs between next
January and July 1. He said
the sum would be between $5
billion and $15 billion.
Johnson answered with
one word, "Yes,” when
asked whether the possibility
of an income tax increase
was discussed.

fact that when it complained
to the council earlier this
month about raids from
Syrian territory, a Soviet
veto killed a resolution
which mildly admonished
the Syrians.
U. S. Ambassador Arthur
eventually emerged with his
powers essentially intact, al-
though he had to reissue
some subpenas his critics
contended were void.
The dissension within the
committee cut across party
lines. But, with a 22-11 Dem-
ocratic predominance, Pat-
man was usually able to
hold enough Democratic
votes to carry his points.
The situation will be quite
different in the new con-
gress, convening January 10.
Committee sources predict
the party ratio in the com-
mittee will shift to 19 Demo-
crats, 14 Republicans.
Defeats, retirements and
the ratio change to reflect
increased Republican
strength in the house would
mean naming five new Dem-
ocrats and three new Repub-
licans to the committee.

up with 17 routes carrying
542 passengers, the report
said. It overlapped regular
bus service in many areas.
The project was "essen-
tially a personalized ...
home-to-work and return ex-
press commuter service,”
the report said.
'Flash Pass' Issued
This meant picking up pas-
sengers virtually at their
front doors, high speed trips,
free taxi rides whenever a
bus broke down and a
monthly billing system in-
stead of having passengers
fumble for change to drop in
a fare box.
Each passenger merely
showed a special "flash
pass” in getting on the bus
and mailed in payments of
$6 to $10 a month, depending
on how far they rode.
In addition to getting most
riders to work and back
home more quickly than
they could drive their cars,
"the operation created a
c l u b-coach atmosphere.”
said Assistant HUD secre-
tary Charles M. Haar.
Seats Guaranteed
The same driver was used
on each bus every day, and
schedules never varied more
than half a minute. Every-
body was guaranteed a seat.
Passengers were encour-
aged to suggest improved
routing of their buses.
The service became as
good as “a large car-pool”
without the worries of driv-
ing a car in heavy traffic
and finding a parking place
in town.
But when the federal mon-
ey ran out, the troubles be-
gan. The special "premium”
bus service was dropped al-
together in Decatur.
Frills Dropped
it continued in Peoria, but
the transit company began
eliminating such frills as the
free cab rides during an em-
ergency breakdown and pas-
sengers started dropping out
of the “club” at a rapid
rate.
But, said the interim re-
port, the company then be-
gan reinstituting the extras
and business at last report
was climbing back up again.
There’ll be a follow-up re-
port later.
"T h e special service
proved it can generate new
bus ridership and increase
revenues to transit operators
in small to medium sized
communities,” the depart-
ment said.
“And (it) is likely to be
even more successful in
larger-sized cities with their
larger concentrated traffic,”
it added.

Veto Resented
“The weakness of the
present resolution lies in its
failure to address itself to
the simple fact that one
member state and one alone
is faced by the refusal of its
neighbors to allow it to pur-
sue its life in peace with its
neighbors,” he declared.
Comay expressed hope
that Israel’s Arab neighbors
would contribute to peace by
refraining from any more at-
tacks against Israeli soil.
He omitted, however, any
threat of Israeli reprisals, if
the attacks continue.
