SEATTLE (AP)-Delegates to the national American Legion convention, disgruntled with Jimmy Carter's announcement that he would pardon Vietnam draft dodgers, will greet Republican vice-president Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas this morning.
Vets reject pardon, to hear Dole
Dole, dogging the steps of Democratic presidential candidate Carter, is scheduled to address the convention at 11:30 a.m., following a breakfast with Republican
leaders, a tour of the Seattle Veterans
instruction Hospital and a press con-
ference.
Hundreds of delegates to the American Legion national convention had booted and shouted "No!!" yesterday when Carter wielded pardons for Vietnam-dragg restraints.
A counter demonstration supporting his position broke out simultaneously from the stage.
Carter told the audience of legionnaires, 'realized before I made any statement to you that I would have been a prisoner.'
Postal increases barred; Senate OK's more funds
Pending submission of the commission's report postal rates would be frozen and the commission would also review the rates.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate passed bill yesterday providing an additional $1 billion subsidy for the debt-ridden Postal Rate increase and service cutbacks.
But he said the hatred and divisions caused by the war in Vietnam have eroded support for the nation's armed forces and "must be out behind us."
demonstrators were mostly young and didn't wear legion uniforms.
Designed as a stop-gap measure, the bill also provides for appointment of a special commission to examine post problem improvements for improvements by Feb. 15, 1977.

control of the Postal Service's budget was rejected. 58-26.
The bill now goes to conference with the House...
The Senate bill is backed by the Ford administration, except for one amendment adopted Monday, but Hollins predicted it wouldn't be accepted by the House.
Before passage of the bill, the Senate defeated 82-6 amendment to permit the delivery of first-class mail by private companies.
MMcge said the Senate measure offered the only hope of stabilizing the Postal Service's financial situation until next year. A new look at what should be done.
The raucous chorus of shouted boos subsided as Carter continued to talk and to explain his position. No legionnaire was present, but several gave Carter the thumbs-down sign.
Wiles said legionaires agreed with Caesar's advice to case-by-case consideration for deserters.
Harry G. Wiles, the legion's national commander, said members agree with Carter "100 per cent on one-half of his stand."
But he said they also believed there should be case-by-case consideration for Selective Service violators. He said that the legion would "carefully consider" the distinction Carter makes between amnesty and pardons.
In his speech, Carter said, "I do not favor a blanket amnesy, but for those who violated Selective Service laws, I intend to grant a blanket pardon."
he said he believed there was a crucial difference: "Amnesty means that what you did is right. A pardon means that what you did is wrong. Arrested, given. So, pardon—yes, amnesty—no."
Pact signals end to record rubber strike
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The United Rubber Workers and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. reached tentative agreement with the manufacturer to contract providing a 36 per cent wage boost.
If the contract is approved by union members, it will end a strike that was in its 12th day yesterday, the longest walkout in industry history.
The proposed pact includes general wage increases totaling $1.35 an hour during the length of the contract and an uncaped cost-of-living adjustment that Goodyear estimated would total 69 cents an hour during the three-year period.
The pact provides for an immediate 80-cents-an-hour wage hike.
Rank and file members and local union officials predicted ratification of the new contract proposal by the end of the week. There were no immediate good of it.
The URW scheduled a ratification vote Friday at Akron and said votes at the other 16 Goodyear plants would be scheduled later. Goodyear said production could resume normally about two days after acceptance of the contract.

Britons declare war on drought
LONDON (AP) — The British government directed yesterday Sports Minister Denis Howell to coordinate efforts to deal with the drought in two-and-one-half centuries.
He called on Britons to let their flowers
wash a body water and do the laundry
less often.
The drought has withered crops, dried up reservoirs and threatened to put industry in the hardest-hit areas, such as South Wales, on a three-day workweek.
*Water used for bathing is also going to have to be used for flushing toilets.* *Howell call*
A hot sun beat down on London and much of Great Britain yesterday, and the London Weather Center said there was still no rain in sight.
The drought is the result of three straight dry winters and an exceptionally arid summer in a nation that usually is cool and rainy.
The last measurable rain in the land area—18 of an inch–fell July 20.
