Congressmen accept raise
WASHINGTON—An overwhelming majority of the congressman who fought the $12.00 pay raise are it, anyway.
A telephone survey of Capitol Hill turned up only 12 representatives who said they definitely intended to turn back their requests to the Treasury or donate them to
The survey was done to check out the widespread belief on Capitol Hill that many congressmen who publicly announced the navy hack secretly wanted it.
Among those who said they were either donating or turning the raise were Bens, Maura Keehs, D-Kan, and her husband, Andy Jacobs, D-nd.
An aide to Rep. Keith Sebelius, R-Kan., said Sebelius was taking the money because he had two sons in law school.
Vance's China report due
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said yesterday the administration was checking to determine whether Henry Kissinger reached any secret understandings with the People's Republic of China concerning American abandonment of its ties with Taiwan.
Columnist Joseph Kraft said that President Carter was asked about the alleged understandings in a Feb. 8 meeting with Huang Chen, head of the Chinese liaison
Commenting on the report during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation,”ance said, “We are checking to see whether we have all the papers at the State Department.”
Kraft said that although there was no proof that any understandings were reached, "it now seems apparent that President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger virtually promised Peking that they would scrap the Taiwan connection in a couple of years."
New York loan in doubt
NEW YORK—Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal told Mayor Abraham Beame yesterday that the government might not grant New York City a $255 million loan to avoid insolvency next month because he doubts the city could repay it.
"Blumenthal said a loan would depend upon the city's making significant progress toward renewing a financial stalemate that stemmed from a court order."
*This development poses serious consequences for the city, which is already vigorously pressing the banks and the unions to agree to a moratorium plan that will be reviewed at a later date.*
Amid signs that Amin planned some sort of spectacular gathering at the airport Wednesday, Radio Uganda warned that the airline would count a raid similar to Israel's last July.
"We've had offers from the U.N. to intercede, but we've handled our affairs through the German embassy, and so far we've issued few deep concern," Carter told reporters.
In Washington, President Carter said the United States was monitoring the Ugandan situation closely, trying not to upset President Amin and trying to take advantage of his good wishes that he has expressed.

NAIROBI, (AP)—President Idi Amin yesterday postponed his meeting with about 240 Americans living in Uganda, reconnecting it for Wednesday at Entebbe University.
Washington said the nearest Marine unit was in the Mediterranean. But the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise and other U.S. warships were cruising off the East African coast after a courtesy visit to Kenya last week.
Amin has been quoted as saying he was ready to meet any "task forces" an apparent reference to an earlier charge that Marine were polished to invade Uganda.
Amin was to have met today in the capital city of Kampala with the Americans because he was going to speak the meeting was delayed until 8 a.m. Wednesday at nearby Entebie because the Americans, mostly missionaries in outlying areas, were on for more time prepare for the gathering.

Amin reschedules his meeting with Americans
The spokesman urged Ugandans to be alert for signs that might indicate an invasion and said that because of the Israeli raid, the presence of U.S. naval vessels off the coast of Kenya in the Indian Ocean "must be taken seriously."
