Washington: Weapons Bill
The Senate approved Tuesday by a vote of 84 to 5 a $19.2 billion weapons bill containing unlimited authority for the sale of American jets to Israel. The measure permits an expansion of the controversial Safeguard antiballistic missile system and a $200 million addition outlay for overruns on the costly C5A cargo plane. Included in the bill is a sweeping provision authorizing the President to furnish Israel—by sale or on credit—any number of aircraft and supporting equipment he feels necessary to counter Soviet military aid to the Arab states.
Washington: Census
The Census Bureau reported Tuesday it has counted 200.2 million Americans in the 1970 head count so far but predicted the final figure would come much closer to its advance estimate of 204.8 million. The report showed that New York remains the nations largest city with a preliminary count of 7,771,730. The report also showed that California has replaced New York as the most populous state.
Kansas City: Pollution
ST. LOUIS—Missouri clean air officials expressed concern Tuesday about figures showing that air in Kansas City has been getting dirtier over the last three years. A report based on results of state-wide air sampling in 1968 and 1969 indicated that downtown Kansas City last year passed St. Louis as the driest area in the state.
Washington: Hanoi Film
Network telecasts of a 12 minute film released by Hanoi showing 70 to 75 U.S. prisoners of war in North Vietnam have produced a number of new tentative identifications of men appearing in the film, Defense Department officials reported Tuesday. The Pentagon released the names of 14 men who had been positively identified Monday. Officials said then they had 40 other tentative identifications. The silent black and white movie shows the prisoners attending a Christmas church service apparently in 1969.
Detroit: Auto Contract
The Big Three auto makers—General Motors, Ford and Chrysler—Tuesday offered their 700,000 United Auto Workers employees what they called a record contract providing an increase of $3 billion. Union officials called it "ridiculous" and "stingy." The union company negotiating teams will get back together Thursday to resume efforts to sign a new agreement before the current pacts expire at midnight Sept. 14.
Cape Kennedy: Practice Run
Working as if they were on the way to the moon, Apollo 14's astronauts successfully tested their modified command ship Tuesday in a large chamber simulating the vacuum of space. The seven hour trial, one of the most important pre-launch tests for the spacecraft, was completed without a hitch. It marked an important step toward the Jan. 31 start of the second attempt to explore hilly lunar terrain.
California: Agnew
SAN CLEMENTE—Vice President Spiro T. Agnew said Tuesday that the Asian leaders he visited completely accept the Nixon doctrine and felt reassured by the recent U.S. operation in Cambodia that eliminated Communist sanctuaries. The doctrine provides for an eventual withdrawal of American forces but continued economic assistance to Allies in Southeast Asia. Agnew gave a report of the 10 day, five nation, 30,000 mile trip to Nixon and the National Security Council before commenting to newsmen.
Oregon: Docking
PORTLAND—Kansas Gov. Robert Docking said Tuesday that small groups of young radicals are bent on destroying "the foundation and moral fibre" of the nation. Docking told the 52nd national convention of the American Legion that "it is time we started listening to the majority of our nation's youth who are talking not about rights alone but rights coupled with duties and responsibilities." He spoke a few hours after Oregon Gov. Tom McCall called for efforts to "expand and enrich the dialogue between generations."

Classrooms Boycotted In South
By United Press International
Only 34 of 850 white students showed up for the first day of classes in the public school system in Sumter County, Ala. Nearly all the others chose to attend hastily established private schools rather than go to school with more than 3,600 blacks.
More than 300 Lumbee Indian children near Red Springs, N.C., defied court orders for the second straight day and tried to attend classes in schools that traditionally had been reserved for Indians.
The principal of one of the schools allowed 200 Lumbee children to monitor classes but he refused to enroll them.
The districts are among nearly 600 complying at the start of the fall term with government orders to establish unitary systems. More than half of the districts have started classes and compliance has been achieved in nearly all of them calmly.
