In the past, the House leadership always had maneuvered to prevent a direct vote by resorting to procedural votes that obscured the issue. former hawk who has turned against the war, replied, "This is the only way we have to express our opposition to a wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." The doves, led by Rep. Bella S. Abzug of New York, cheered as Flynt strode up the aisle to cast his vote for the Nedzi-Whalen amendment.

Since most of the procurement funds will not be spent before the end of the year, Nedzi acknowledged that his amendment would not have the effect of "mandating withdrawal" by this December. The purpose of his amendment, he explained, was to provide the House with a clear opportunity to express its concern about a continuing involvement in the Vietnam war and to set a date for troop withdrawal. Rep. Gerald R. Ford, House Republican leader, dismissed the amendment as "symbolic" and "meaningless." But at the same time the Michigan Republican warned that if the amendment were enacted it would "deprive the President Elsewhere U.S., Japan sign treaty The United States and Japan sign a treaty under which Okinawa will be restored to Japan Page A 3.

The proposal, which is similar to previous plans for a public safety complex, would require full Fiscal Court approval before being placed on the November ballot.

Mr. Nixon named Dr. Jerome H. Jaffe, 37-year-old chief of the Illinois drug abuse program, to head a new office on drug abuse prevention in the White House. Jaffe will coordinate the activities of nine agencies now concerned with rehabilitation, education and research.

He also will direct compulsory testing of all veterans returning to this country and compulsory detoxification and treatment of those found to have been taking narcotics. Urinalysis tests of servicemen are to begin in Vietnam tomorrow. The President said he would ask Congress for authority to hold addicts in uniform for as much as 30 days beyond their normal date of discharge. Seven days of this period would be devoted to detoxification in Vietnam and 21 days to rehabilitation in centers to be established on the West Coast of the United States.

First steps to establish the Stiff Photo by Bill Luster By FRED BALES Courier-Journal A Times Staff Writer Representatives from Clark, Floyd and five other Southern Indiana counties agreed last night to step up efforts to form a regional health planning agency, the Southern Indiana Health Planning Council.

High yesterday was 84.

No alert was put out for slain officers, chief says council were taken last year. Yoho said four regional groups have received federal money in Indiana to make comprehensive health plans. There is a chance that four more may receive funds. "All that we can say at the moment is that you will have the opportunity to compete for federal funds," he said. Members of health planning groups in Jefferson, Switzerland, Scott, Harrison and Orange counties attended the meeting with the Clark and Floyd representatives.

Becoming members in the Indiana region will not bar counties from also taking part in the Falls Region Health Council, Yoho said. The Falls council is headquartered in Louisville and claims jurisdiction in Clark and Floyd, among other Indiana counties. Dr. Claude J. Meyer, a Sellcrsburg physician, said it would be logical for the Indiana counties to participate in both the Indiana region and the Falls region.

Meyer said he believes that the Falls council idea has merit but that "politi- See 7 COUNTIES Back prige, col. 1, this section oi: the police Technical Services Bureau, said yesterday that a "full alert" for missing officers will be made about an hour after they fail to answer a call. He said officers also will be required to inform their commanders periodically of their whereabouts. Police gave no immediate explanation of why it took so long to find Hayes and Schaefer. About a week after the shooting Hyde told a reporter he had ordered a "thorough investigation" of the matter by the department's Inspectional Service Bureau.

Yesterday in an interview Hyde discussed findings of the investigation. Hayes and Schaefer were in the Model By STAN MACDONALD Courier-Journal Staff Writer An investigation into circumstances of the May 2 slaying of two Louisville patrolmen has revealed that no departmental alert was issued and no search was ordered for them even though they failed to respond to 11 radio calls over a five-hour period. Police Chief C. J. Hyde said yesterday that he is recommending "disciplinary action" against the officers' commander, Lt.

Wilford Baugh, who Hyde said was aware they failed to answer repeated radio calls but did not "put out an alert" for the men. The chief declined to elaborate on his recommendation concerning Baugh, saying he would notify city Safety Director George Burton today about his proposed action. However, Hyde stressed that Baugh is a "hard-working and conscientious" officer who made an "error in judgment" in this instance. The two slain officers Wilbur Hayes and John W. Schaefer Jr.

Hayes and Schaefer last reported in by radio from their car at about 10:10 p.m., according to one officer. They were never heard from again. Hyde said some people came to the Model District headquarters at Central Park to get a release on a car which Hayes and Schaefer had taken to the police tow-in lot. Hyde said Baugh asked police radio to call car 525 and notify the officers. This call went out about.
