Both sides to be 'aired' in Congress
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Senate this week considers whether to build a supersonic new bomber while the House debates putting a boom-proof new front on the Capitol. The decision in both cases will almost surely be "aye."
The Defense Department has been pushing research on the Air Force "AMSA"—Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft—as an inevitable successor to the tired and obsolecent B52. As for the west front of the Capitol, members heard testimony last week it is crumbling and might fall under
shock waves of even a low-flying helicopter.
Other highlights of scheduled House action include votes on a bill to keep bank loans flowing to the fall crop of college enrollees and a constitutional amendment to elect presidents by popular vote. Leaders expect both measures to pass.
In the Senate, the Finance Committee will continue hearing complaints about loophole-closing provisions of a House-passed tax reform bill while the Judiciary Committee will start hearing complaints about President Nixon's nominee to the Supreme

Cornell University to have an ombudsman
The Senate is going into its eighth week of debate on a $20 billion annual Defense Department procurement bill, from which military critics will attempt to strike funds for "design and engineering development" of the manned bomber, on which re-
Corson, addressing a meeting of the school's Constituent Assembly, said the ombudsman's office would help tie the university together in a communications network. He did not say who he planned to appoint to the post.
About 190 members of the assembly were on hand for the address along with an estimated 100 spectators. The group, which includes 20 black students, was created following last semester's turmoil on campus. Only one of the black students was on hand for Corson's speech, and all but a handful of the spectators were white.
ITHACA, N.Y. (UPI)—Cornell University President Dale R. Corson, in his first major policy address, announced Sunday the establishment of an office of university ombudsman to "investigate grievances against the university."
"We must," he said, "no longer acknowledge as representative student views only the expressed demands or opinions of special interest groups representing minorities."

The Pope drove 20 miles from his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to this coastal town and the shrine of St. Maria Goretti, a peasant girl who was slain in 1902 while defending her chastity.
NETTUNO, Italy (UPI)—Pope Paul VI Sunday urged youth to resist the temptations of sex even if it means "suffering and sacrifice."
"Through her martyrdom, this young saint bore witness to a virtue one is almost afraid of mentioning today — innocence, christian purity," the Pope told a large crowd outside the red brick church dedicated to the 12-year-old girl. The shrine was restored recently after developing cracks.
"Be strong and balanced," the Pope said. "Resist all snares, even at the cost of suffering and sacrifice, because in life there are values that must be appreciated, loved and defended above everything else."
Referring to St. Maria Goretti earlier Sunday during his address to pilgrims at Castel Gandolfo, the pontiff said purity is especially needed at a time when some publications and films "deliberately tend to excite base passions and to profane life."
Suffering, sacrifice instead of sex and sin. Pope tells world youth
Maria Goretti, who was killed while rejecting a suitor's advances, was proclaimed a saint by Pope Pius XII in 1950. Her brother, Angelo, lived for many years in New Village, NJ, and died during a visit to Italy in 1965.
