Capitol Hill. Nixon Differ On Priorities
WASHINGTON (AP)—Democratic leaders of Congress said yesterday they expected to pass about 50 significant bills before adjournment—and not all of them would come off President Nixon's priority list.
A meeting of House and Senate leaders produced no major changes in the choice of legislation to be pushed for the final weeks of the 1973 session, a spokesman said.

The congressional priority list does not include such prime Nixon items as special revenue sharing to replace existing education and community development
House Speaker Carl Albert, D-Dokla, and Senate Majority Leader Mike Marshfield, D-Mont., said in a joint statement: "The committee is working to get the first session reunion October."
"The principal legislative complication for the remainder of this session, as we see it, involves foreign aid and defense," the leaders said.
A major point of contention in the defense authorization bill is a proposal to include a cutback of forces in Europe. It has strong support in the US, but it is obsoleted by the Nixon administration.
Albert, at his daily news conference, said trade legislation was another possible source of delay, but he had been assured that the legislation or House consideration early in October.
Priority appropriation bills still to get started in the House include those for foreign aid, defense procurement and military construction.

Oner registation on the leaders' preferred list includes bills for urban mass transit aid, school lunch programs, reform of private pension systems, elementary and secondary education aid, fuel allocation and energy research.
Albert said the leaders' list "covers most of the same general areas" that Nixon included in his second State of the Union listing listing 60 measures for Congress to act on.

Emporium Under Fire
Mismanagement Alleged by 2 Senators
Kansan Staff Reporter
By JEFFREY STINSON
Jon Jossner, Johnson sophomore and former chairman of the Student Senate's Empirium Bookstore subcommittee, said he might the Empirium had been misadventured.
"The Emporium's a good idea, but it has been mismanaged," he said. "It needs someone to take it over from the very beginning and work from there."
Kathy Allen, Topeka senior, is the Emporium's director.
Similar charges of mismanagement by Allen were made Monday by Pete Kanatar, Topeka senior and member of the senate's Finance and Auditing Committee.
Allen repeated yesterday that she thought the Emporium had a $109 net profit as of Sept. 6, but she added that she wanted to add an extra $25 million saying something more about its status.
Josserand said he had resigned from the committee in the summer because there had been insufficient funds to keep the bookstore going.
"I was assured by Miss Allen last spring that there were plenty of funds for this year," he said. "Come to find out, there weren't."
The Emporium's ledger showed $44.98 net profit on that date.
Joersandard he said there were no improprieties involved when Alen hired her.

"I didn't do the interviews; Kathy did," he said. "I thought she hired two very capable people. I told Kathy that if Marcia could do a good job, to go ahead and hire
Alen said she had talked to a number of applicants who had wanted to work at the Emporium before hiring Overstake and Lisa Eitner, Lawrence senior.
She said she had needed to know whether the applicants would be willing "to risk being involved with the Emporium even if there was the possibility of not having enough funds available for second semester."
"The first thing I wanted to know was if they had any prior experience in a bookstore. My previous question would they show interest in working and making the Emporium go."
Four criteria were used when interviewing the applicants for the jobs, Allen J.
Either said she had worked in her high school's book rental program but had known little about the Emporium before she had started working there.

She said she also had been looking for someone who would have enough free hours to do what they needed.
"I didn't know anything at all about the
emporium at the time I was hired, except what I read in the paper," Eitner said. "Kathy told me at the time that Marcia had experience in the library.
"Thus far, I've been keeping the books. I think Marcia knows how to keep them, but she has classes five days a week, so she's in and out all the time."
The White House has until next Wednesday to file its response.

An Appeals Court decision in the case is expected by Oct. 1. The case is eventually settled.
Military Strengthens Control over Chile
WASHINGTON (AP)--Watersgate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, said that U.S. District Court Judge John J. Sirica's ruling in the White House tape cases had the effect of excluding evidence from the grand jury rather than obtaining it.
Cox had subpenated White House tapes of nine Watergate-related presidential conference meetings.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP)—The new military junta buried Salvador Allende yesterday and then was reported to have妥妥 laid down by the Army at Bernardo O'Higgins Military School).
The official radio said a new cabinet was sworn in at the ceremony, but the names of the cabinets were not revealed.
it was rumored that the coup leaders were considering Gabriel Valdes, a top U.N. official and former minister of press presidenlty in Cameroon. But Valdes said yesterday in Lima, Peru, on the first leg of a trip home from New York, that "I will take my place at the front line." I am happy with what I'm now doing."
Scattered resistance to the new regime continued to be reported. Unofficial sources estimated that between 500 and 1,000 persons had been killed since the military revolt Tuesday, and the junta warned that the siege would be "bite on the soil if taken prisoner."
Explosions were heard in some neighborhoods and snipers, barricaded in office buildings, traded fire with military patrols in the streets below.
Six hundred leftists surrendered after a gunfight at a technical university near downtown Santiago, sources said. In another brief skirmish, soldiers occupied a large state-owned textile factory in the capital.
FIRM ESTIMATES of casualties were impossible to obtain because no movement was permitted in the city and no official figures were issued.
Officials said the new government expelled 150 Cuban extremists from the country Tuesday and escorted them to the Argentine border. At the United Nations, other officials were expelled and expressed fear they would be killed on their way to the airport.
In a supplementary brief filed late yesterday, Cox asked the U.S. Court of Appeals not to "shrink from entry of a coercive order" that would direct President Nixon to turn over the tapes to the Watergate grand jury.
Cuba's charge d'affaires at the United Nations, Teofo Acosta, said he had telephoned Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim and "asked him urgently to get in touch with the military jungle and demand his respect for the life of our diplomats."
IN SANITIGO, many people have been stranded in office buildings and hotels since the cop began, unable to return home or go out for food. All businesses were closed yesterday and the streets were empty of civilians.
there were conflicting reports on the whereabouts of Allende's widow, who was believed to have recently returned from relief work in Mexico.
Newsmen received reports of gunfights between soldiers and armed workers occupying factories to protest the coup, which first freed Marxist government.
The military junta said that Allende had taken his life at 2 p.m. Tuesday as troops ransacked the building.

after Allende forces surrendered, Tanks shellled the building and two air force jets hit it with bombs and rockets until Allende gave up.
A communiqué issued yesterday afternoon said the first military patrol entering the building found Allende's body. It also announced a board of doctors pronounced Allende dead.
A POLICE official said Allende shot himself once in the head with an automatic gun that was a gift from Prime Minister Fidel Castro of Cuba, who spent a month in the hospital. The official said the weapon was found beside Allende's body in a second floor dining hall.
In his final radio broadcast, made early Tuesday morning as jets screamed overhead, Allende told the nation that he would fight on, "even at the cost of my life."

The Peronist newspaper El Mundo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, said it had learned from one of Allende's bodyguards that Allende was killed.
Two members of the new junta-Gen. Augusto Pinchet, army command-in-chief, and Gen. Gustavo Leigh Guzman, air force commander, both jobs two weeks ago by Allende, who hoped to keep the military loyal to his government. The two other junta members are admiral Jose Luis Moreno, commander-in-chief, and Gen. Cesar Mendoza, head of the national police.
The four junta members appeared briefly on television and announced some government plans. They said that congress would take an indefinite recess and diplomatic relations would be maintained with all nations presently recognized, except Cuba.

Washington Involved In Oust, Leftists Say
However, one former high official in the Nixon administration said yesterday that the overthrow of Allende was the "culmination of a very successful policy we've been following." He characterized it as an attack, rather than taking specific acts.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Amid official denials of U.S. involvement in Chile's military coup, the State Department appeared disposed yesterday to bide its time before making contact with the new government leadership in Santiago.
The sensitivity of Washington's relationship with the new military junta was underscored by charges from leftist groups here and in Latin America that the responsible for Tuesday's ouster of Salvador Salvador lay not in Santiago but in Washington.
The former official, who refused to be identified, described the policy as one of "hands off," but added, "People forget that inaction is a policy too."
Specifically, the former official said, "the only thing we did was to cause problems for them when they tried to borrow money on the international market. This was entirely normal since they had expropriated American property without compensation."
Demonstrations with anti-American overtures were reported in Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica and other countries. In Washington, 150 demonstrators gathered near the White House with placards saying, "Let Chile's Democracy Live."
The former official said that otherwise, the U.S. government "kept up our ties with the military"—with President Allende's economic assistance on a small scale."
State Department spokesman Paul Hare said that the coup was a Chilean internal matter and that no elements of the United States government were involved.
Prior to recognizing a new government, the State Department normally determines if the regime intends to observe its international obligations and is in effective control of the country. Reports of widespread resistance in Chile to the new leadership raised questions about its capacity to govern.
Based on past experience, State Department officials said it was not surprising that the United States was accused of complicity in the takeover.
It was clear that Washington's policy for the moment was to avoid too close an initial identification with the junta. To do otherwise, one official said, would only feed speculation that the United States inspired the putin to allow the junta and allow several other governments to recognize the junta before it would make its move.
Assuming the junta is able to consolidate its power, there was little doubt that relations between the two countries would improve.
Nixon scored a tight five-vote victory in the House on a veted medical services bill.
Yesterday's vote left President Nixon unbeaten by Congress this year in five veto fights.
The vote was 273 favoring a veto, which would have put the bill into law over Nixon's objections, to 144 supporting the President's rejection of the bill. One member voted "present." The count was five votes short of the required two-thirds majority.
Nixon expressed his pleasure at the House action. A White House statement said the President thought those who voted to sustain the veto "deserve the thanks of all Americans for their actions" and for joining in his efforts at fighting inflation.
The bill would have authorized $185 million for new federal aid programs designed to develop emergency medical service systems aimed at preventing needless deaths of heart attack and accident victims. Nixon said it would have it too costly and infuriated on the role of state and local governments.
South African police shot and killed 12 workers during race riot near Johannesburg.
the incest, which occurred in a gold mine, was the most serious black-white confrontation under South Africa's apartheid regime since the 1960s.
Another 27 Africans were reported injured, two seriously, and one policeman was hurt.
Officials confirmed the 12 dead had been shot. Earlier reports said one African worker had been hacked to death by fellow workers.
The riding broke out Tuesday afternoon at one of South Africa's most modern mines, the Western Deep Levels, owned by Anglo-America Corp.
The disturbance, which was said to have involved many of the 1950s machine operators, climaxed a weekly-old pay and job classification dispute.
The Watergate committee voted to resume hearing Sent. 24 and end them by Nov. 1.
Chairman Sam J. Erwin Jr., DNC, said the panel would "expedite the proceedings by hearing witnesses with highly relevant testimony" only. He said the committee was "not responding at all to pressure" to keep the hearings from public view.
Committee aids were quick to note that Nov. 1 is only a target date and suggested that the committee wouldn't stick to it if it uncovered dramatic new information about political sabotage and campaign financing in the 1972 Presidential race.
Former Presidential counselor Colson was dropped as witness for Ervin's committee.
Charles W. Colson was removed from the Senate Watergate committee witness list at his own request after his lawyer said Colson expected to be indicted.
Senate sources said Colson's lawyer, David I. Shapiro, told committee Chief Counsel Samuel Dash his client expected to be indicted by a federal grand jury investigating the office burglary of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrists.
Documents in the possession of both the Senate committee and the special prosecutor indicate that Colson was instrumental in having E. Howard Hunt hired by the White House to probe the Pentagon Papers case. Other memos show that Hunt's supervisors wanted Colson to decide how to use Daniel Ellsberg's medical records to smear Ellsberg should Hunt and his coworkers be successful in obtaining the records.
Cambodia claimed its troops cleared Communist-led rebels from Kompong Cham.
The government acknowledged that Khmer Rouge insurgents still held key points around the besieged provincial capital, which lies 47 miles northeast of Pinnom Pehn, but said its forces were trying to trap the remaining elephant elements on the southwestern edges.
The command spokesman, Col. Arm Rong, said government units were linked on Phnom Penh's road to the sea—Highway 4 -40 miles southwest of Phnom Penh. But the road remained cut near Ang Snuol, about 18 miles north of Phnom Penh. The army is returning from Kompong Cham and said food and water shortages were severe.
