Pressure Mounts For Release of Secret Thia Pact By WALTER R. MEARS WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. J. W. Fulbright Is pressing his demand for the top secret text of a U.S.

military agreement Mth he thinks embarrassment at the Pentagon may pry it loose. The joint chiefs of staff ordered three military officers to brief the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today on terms of the five-year-old agreement. But Fulbright, the committee chairman, already has declared that an unacceptable substitute for a look at the exact terms of the document, described as a contingency The Arkansas Democrat said In an interview he hopes the joint chiefs will send along a copy of the document, so the committee can examine it in closed-door session. "They won't let us have it," he said. "The excuse is that somebody will make a copy of it." Lt.

Gen. Richard Spilwell, Brig. Gen. Jacob Click and Col. Franklin T.

Garrett were to brief the Senate panel. Fulbright said Friday the agreement provides "in certain circumstances for the commitment of substantial numbers of American troops to Thailand." Fulbright charged the agreement goes beyond the terms of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in committing the United States to the defense of Thailand. Sources at the State Department said, however, that the agreement would not be triggered unless the United States made a national decision to intervene in Thailand. That is in keeping with the SEATO agreement. Fulbright said there is no way he can force the Pentagon to produce the text.

"Our only recourse is to talk about it and perhaps embarrass them into it," he said. Fulbright said the text might indicate its terms are acceptable. "There may not be much to it," he said. "This agreement should be made available," said Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield. "If this develops into a pattern, I think it's very dangerous to the policy of this country." Student Loan Revival Being Pushed in Senate PAGE THE TIMES-REPORTER, Tnewlay, AngOSt If, 1HI More Defense Spending Challenges in Wings WASHINGTON (AP) Pentagon critics, accused by Sen.

John Stennis of fostering dangerous "mistrust and distrust" of the military, have an arsenal of amendments ready to challenge defense spending. Two critics, Sens. Walter F.

But Republicans charge that amendments pushed successfully by Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy, in the Labor Committee last Friday have upset negotiations to rush action on the bill. Extensive cloakroom negotiations Monday failed to resolve the controversy over -these amendments although 'Senate leaders did win an agreement for a vote on the bill today. Republicans said they would seek to eliminate one of the Kennedy riders and perhaps both. Even if the Senate passes the measure there is no guarantee the House will follow suit before the summer recess begins Wednesday afternoon.

Consideration of a similar measure was blocked Monday in the House. Some members there wish to use it as a vehicle for a provision to punish students involved in campus riots. The key provision of the Senate bill is a subsidy payment which could mean a yield to banks of 10 per cent on the student loans. The present interest ceiling is 7 per cent. This has meant that loan funds have dried up with the prime interest rate now at per cent.

The Senate committee was told about 220,000 students seeking to enroll this fall will be denied loans because of the tight money situation unless congress votes the subsidies. One of the Kennedy amendments would prohibit a bank or other lender from requiring a student or his family to have account with it to obtain a loan. Republicans said they definitely would try to strike this from the bill. The other would raise by $170 million the authorizations for two aid programs for youths from low-income educational opportunity grant program and the college work- study program. A GOP effort also may be made to eliminate this.

The Republicans said Kennedy had put the bill in danger by offering amendments. It will be too late when Congress returns in September from its recess because many students will have to enroll by then, they said. The great bulk of college students who seek government aid must get it through the guaranteed loan program, the GOP legislators said.

ment and more Vietnams." Still on the docket, but unlikely to face action before September are amendments to trim funds for a new manned bomber and the C5A transport. An amendment to restrict 1 testing and transport of chemical and biological weapons passed the Senate 91 to 0 Monday after the Pentagon and Stennis, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, agreed to it. Stennis also accepted a compromise amendment trimming to $75 million the defense emergency fund, a Pentagon contingency budget which was to have been $100 million. That one passed 94 to 0. But Stennis defended the $20 billion military authorization program his committee produced as a balanced and vital measure.

He criticized efforts to change it on the floor "piece by piece." "We better know what we're doing," the Mississippi Democrat said. After listing U.S. commitments abroad, Stennis said: "There are points besides honor in just turning our backs on these commitments. There is involved the security of the United States." Speaking of Vietnam, Stennis commented: "The Lord only knows how we'll get out or when we'll get out." Stennis said Tie tias worked to bring military spending under control and wants it cut by at least $10 Vietnam. billion a year after But he warned against A mood of resistence to defense programs.

"It's leading this country Info what I consider a dangerous state of mind," he said, "mistrust, distrust, down with the military, down with the senators who are in line with the military." Fulbright said that in seeking to hold down military spending, there is no slander of military men. That's A Salesman (AP) Bothered by peddlers, Tom Thomas posted a "no solicitors" sign on his house.

John Erikson, a 14-year-old Chicago schoolboy relaxed today after his triumphant swim of the 22-mile wide English Channel and planned more adventures for the future. "I'll try Lake Michigan next," he said, "and then maybe come back here and make a two-way non-stop bid." John, a descendent of the Viking seafarer Leif Erikson, Sunday became the youngest person ever to swim the channel. His father, Ted, has swum 60- mile wide Michigan and also holds the 30 hours 3 minutes record for the two-way non-stop channel crossing. John said he sang pop songs from France to England. "I never felt tired at all," he said.

"I swam at about 50 strokes a minute and I was very comfortable." He ate a few canned peaches and drank black tea mixed glucose. When he came ashore he enjoyed a long hot bath and then a giant plateful of chicken and ravioli. "It has been a tremendous, challenge," said Erikson. "Ev- wants to succeed here, but I had an added incentive because my dad had done it."

DOVER MASONIC TEMPLE Be sure to come have fun trying on ail the hats Ohio and Miami Ask Additional Fee Okay By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Trustees at Ohio and Miami Universities Monday asked the Ohio Board of Regents to approve various fees increases, including a $100 per quarter tuition hike for out-of-state The boards also voted to raise Instructional fees by $10 to $160 a quarter, maximum set by the legislature. The increases, except for the out of state surcharge, apply only to the Athens and Oxford campuses, and not to the universities' branches.

Action by the boards came amid speculation that the regents would eliminate about $8 million in student fee waivers now granted by state universities when it meets in Columbus Friday to assess its finan cial position. When the Ohio Legislature froze tuition at $160 on main campuses and at $150 at branches, it also gave the regents final on fees increases aad directed the board to set guidelines for limiting the practice waiving fees. Vtt4er the proposals approved by trustees Monday, out-of-state students at Miami will pay $300 a quarter tuition and similar students at OU will pay from $200 to $300. Ohio University President Claude R. Sowle said it was necessary to raise tuition for out-of-staters because the legislature cut subsidies for nonresidents by 50 per cent.

Phillip R. Shriver, Miami president, said the fees hike is required because, despite increased total aid to higher education, "the actual per student subsidy support level has not been Increased sufficiently to meet rising costs." Trustees of both schools also voted to increase room and! board rates at dormitories. This does not require regents approval. Miami students will pay $20 more a quarter, or $350. The rates at OU were raised from $930 to $1,014 a year for students having more than one roommate, and from $990 to $1,074 a year for those with one roommate.
