THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER 27 Congress Lagging On Nixon's New Federalism Monday, July 3, 1972 IN Congress, meanwhile, many approached his concept with applause for the design. The House displayed the most interest in President Nixon's ideas. But trouble developed in the Senate. For instance, over Conservative opposition, the House in April, 1970, passed welfare revisions in a family assistance bill. The measure died in the Senate adjournment pile-up.

Then H. R. officially the first House bill intro- Analysis Of Neiv Federalism its own version, scrapped key features of the House-passed bill and agreed on a sharply different approach. The arguments were not so much about the need for reform, since most agreed the system isn't working. The controversy centered on how the system should be reformed.

Mr. Nixon's plugs in early days of New Federalism formation were for abolishing what he called "the discredited aid to families with dependent children program" and for launching "in its place a new system that for the first time would insure a minimum income for every family with dependent children." Mr. Nixon said it would "provide a coordinated structure of work requirements, work inneentives, and training designed to move people off the welfare rolls and onto payrolls of the United States." CONFLICT developed in Congress. For instance, the House-passed administration plan would guarantee a $2,400 annual income for a family of four, with benefits for the "working poor." But the Senate committee voted for a new welfare plan for families with dependent children, stressing tough work requirements for heads of families. Republicans say they remain 'hopeful the major conflicts can be resolved so some sort of welfare reform bill will be sent to President Nixon this year.

After twice passing Mr. Nixon's welfare reform plan, the Ilouse approved his revenue sharing measure. The House passed it June 22, and the Senate is expected to go along with this administration-endorsed anproach to sharing some S30 billion with states and local governments over the span of five years. Opponents of revenue-sharing legislation described it as dealing with a fiscal ailment by recommending an overdose of spending. "IT CONTAINS potentially the biggest giveaway program ever enacted by Congress," said Rep.

John W. Byrnes, of Wisconsin, ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, in his dissent to the bill produced by his panel. But Mr. Nixon maintained that revenue sharing would bring a new sense of accountability and a new spirit of creativity to the federal system. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wilbur D.

Mills, termed the bill, which has been revised to his satisfaction, "a landmark in federal-state-local fiscal relations." Meantime, the President's call for comprehensive reorganization of the executive branch of federal government has attracted little enthusiasm in Congress. The problem came under extensive review by the House Government Operations Committee. This legislation still awaits action by the full House, then, if approved, by the Senate. By CARL CRAFT Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP( Nearly tiiree years after President Nixon planted seeds of his New Federalism, he's still waiting for the harvest from Capitol Hill. Depending on willingness of Democratic hands, he may get revenue sharing and welfare reform-two prize crops in an election year.

But most of his 16-month-old bid to reshape the executive branch is dying on the vine. "After a third of a century of power flowing from the people and the states to Washington," Mr. Nixon told the nation on August 8, 1969, "it is time for a New Federalism in which power, funds and responsibility will flow from Washington to the states and to the people." With this first formal reference to his New Federalism concept of more power for the people, President Nixon urged welfare reforms and a start on sharing federal tax revenues with the states. Mr. Nixon expanded on his plans when he told the nation's governors on September 1, 1969, his strategy involved reforming the government's structure by "pruning out those programs that have failed or that have outlived their time." In March, 1971, came Mr.

Nixon's plan to revamp the executive branch as "a natural complement to my proposals for revenue sharing." duced when the new Congress met in 1971, contained essentially the same welfare reform concepts with some revised details.

Speaking from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square, the Pope deplored "profound internal divisions which have become almost commonplace in not a few countries." He also referred sadly to ever bolder crime and to desperation which leads some people to "exhalt revolutionary violence as the only road to liberation." The pontiff did not specifically mention the civil strife In Northern Ireland, the arms race, the war in Indochina or revolutionary violence in Latin America.

Thirty miles to the south, the enemy sent scores of heavy rocket and artillery rounds crashing into Hue and defense posts on its southern and western perimeter.

However, the shellings were not followed up by any attempt to take the old imperial capital. Associated Press correspondent Holger Jensen reported from the far north that paratroopers spearheading the five-day-old counterof-fensive were in contact all day within three miles of the enemy-held Quang Tri, capital of the province of the same name. Along the lengthening western flank of the counteroffensive, 150 enemy soldiers were reported killed In several battles near the foothills three to five miles west of Highway 1. South Vietnamese losses were put at nine men killed and 25 wounded.

Saigon spokesman said 46 enemy were slain in clashes around the front on Saturday at a cost of one South Vietnamese soldier wounded. THE LATEST action left government troops in command of a 12-mile broad front running southwest from the South China Sea at a point about eight miles above the former defense line at the My Chanh River. Thirty miles to the south, the first shelling of Hue in the more than three months of the enemy offensive was reported to have killed at least 11 persons and wounded 38.

Times Service WASHINGTON, July 2 The International Telephone and Telegraph Corp.

submitted to the White House last October an 18-point plan designed to assure that the government of Chile's Marxist president, Salvador Allende Gos-sens, "does not get through the crucial next six months." The plan was not acted upon by the Nixon administtation, although Washington subsequently applied certain measures of its own against the Chilean government. The ITT plan called for extensive economic warfare against Chile to be directed by a special White House task force, assisted by the Central Intelligence Agency; the subversion of the Chilean armed forces; consultations with roreign governments on ways to put pressure on the Allende regime, and diplomatic sabotage. THIS PLAN to bring about President Allende's overthrow was outlined in a long letter and an accompanying "action" memorandum from Willi-m R. Merrian, ITT's vice president in charge of Wash Name Becomes I a. A ington relations, to Tcter O.

Peterson, then assistant to President Nixon for international economic affairs now secretary of commerce. Srctctary Peterson said In an interview that he did not remember having read the attached memorandum. The letter and the memorandum, of which copies have been obtained by the New York Times, were sent to the White House by Merriam on October 1, 1971, two days after Chile placed provisional state administration the Chilean Telephone Co. in which the ITT holds a interest. The ITT estimates its investment in the company at $153 million.

ITT proposed an "economic squeeze" on Chile through denial of international credit, a ban on imports of copper and oilier Chilean products and on vit 1 exports to Chile so that sufficient "economic chaos" would develop to convince the armed forces to "step in and restore order." IT SUGGESTED that the CIA Issue had been no policy change concerning North Korea. Stat Department spokesman Charles Bray said in a press briefing Friday that American officials from now on will use either "DI'RK" initials of Democratic People's Republic of Korea" -or North Korea in referring to the Communist-controlled northern hair of Korea. He added that there was no reason to attach any political significance to the simple usage of the official title of North Korea. Korean sources reported, however, that South Korea took the matter very seriously and lodged a protest against using the official name when Foreign Minister Kim Yongshik called In U. S.

A spokesman for the militant IRA Provisionals charged that the British soldiers had interferred in a "purely sectarian" gunfight started by Protestants against Roman Catholics. The shooting began and lasted an hour. "THEKE WERE about 14 of our auxiliaries operating in a purely defensive role," the commander of the Provisional's Ardoyne Command said.

"Even so, their weapons are going to be taken off item they had no right to be there." "The Army say we were shooting at them," the IRA spokesman said. "That is not so. The gunbattle was purely sectarian. The Army came in towards the end.

South Korea does not recognize the North Korean regime, which it calls a puppet of international Communist forces. The I'nited States does not recognize North Korea either. The Korea Times, in an editorial Sunday, recalled that Communist China invited a U. S. table ten: nis team alter President Nixon culled the Peking regime the People's Republic of China.

The paper said: "We do not wish to exaggerate the political significance implied In the use of the Pyongyang regime's formal title. But we cannot be Indifferent to the motives for the usage and the background of the related circumstances in view of the current method of contact between the East, and West. "THE QUESTION concerning the official title of North Korea seems have something to do with the current international trend of recognizing divided countries as they are. "This is also connected with the prevailing mood for peaceful coexistence among big powers as well' as relaxation of tension in troubled areas. "However, we should point out that the North Korean Communists-have been waging extensive peace offensives without modifying their hostile attitude." the Protestants who began firing, not us," he said.

An Army spokesman said children playing soccer in a field in Belfast's predominantly Protestant Old Park area found the bodies of the two men, both with gunshot wounds, in mid-afternoon. Local residents identified them as Protestants. A third body, thrown from an auto after being shot, turned up later in the Forth River area of West Belfast. Old Park is one of three Protestant areas sealed off by barricades erected by the militant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) to protest the existence of Roman Catholic "No Go" districts in Londonderry. The UDA said Old Park, Wood Vale and Shankill would be barred permanently to British security forces unless the Londonderry barricades came down by midnight.

For more than a year, British security forces have been prevented from entering the Bogside and Creggan districts by barricades constructed and manned by the IRA Provisionals. THE DISCOVERY of the dead men brought to six the total of civilians killed since midnight Monday when the IRA agreed to an end to the violence which has plagued Northern Ireland for three years. It also brought the death toll since August, 1969, to 395, including 270 civilians and 125 British soldiers, parttime militiamen and policemen. In other development, the Marxist-oriented official wing of the IRA announced in Belfast that it si he-ginning 24-hour patrols in Roman Catholic districts of the city. A spokesman said the action did not amount to establishment of No-Go districts in Belfast and was not a breach of the officials' truce called in late May.

"The Army does not come Into these areas any more, so it is up to us, as the army of the people, to protect the people," the officials' spokesman said. By K. C. HWANG Associated Press Writer SEOUL (AP) The issue of what, name to call North Korea has again become a controversy, this time involving the United States and South Korea. It started when U.
