In another development yesterday, the House Judiciary approved legislation backed by the Tennessee Press Association giving certain protections to confidential sources of news stories. The bill now goes to the Calendar Committee for scheduling for a final vote. It has already passed the Senate. AT THE SAME time, the committee in a tie vote failed to approve another, stronger source protection bill backed by the Capitol Hill Press Corps.

The committee also rejected a strengthening amendment to the TPA bill that would have required disclosure of sources only before grand juries. Yesterday's Senate action was almost a replay of the situation exactly one year ago when on March 21 senators turned down Gov. Winfield Dunn's no-fault plan in favor of virtually the same bill offered by Sens. William J. Davis, I-Covington, and Haydcn Baker, R-Kingsport.

promptly vetoed by the governor because of the impending hike in insurance premiums. A YEAR AGO, the Senate vote was 22-7; yesterday it was 26-5. No-fault proponents said yesterday's vote was a serious setback, but they refused to concede that their bill is dead for the session. "We will just have to watch now and see what the public reaction is to the action today," said Sen. Tom Garland, R-Greeneville.

"I don't see it as a deathblow." REP. BEN Longley, R-Cleveland, a House sponsor of the governor's bill, expressed some bitterness over the Senate's refusal to delay their vote at least until hearings are completed on the no-fault bill. The first of three public hearings in Knoxville, Memphis and (Turn to Page 12, Column 1) The Senate dashed hopes yesterday of passing no-fault insurance legislation this session as senators adopted an alternative proposal requiring additional coverage so motorists can collect small claims from their own insurance companies. The additional coverage would be mandatory in all policies, although already available through most insurance companies, and is expected to produce an initial hike in premiums of about $7 a year. Sponsors claim the program could eventually reduce premiums, however.

MEANWHILE, THE House passed a state minimum wage of $1.60 an hour and sent the politically hot issue on to the Senate, where it is already in trouble. The bill cleared the lower chamber by a surprising 62-19 vote after it was amended to exempt babysitters, farm labor and part-time summer help.

Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger refused, he said.

McCONE, NOW a director of ITT, the corporate giant which had multimillion-dollar interests in Chile, said his successor at the CIA, Richard A. Helms, told him the government was not interested in aiding political opponents of Chile's Marxist president, Salvador Allende. At the time of the offer McCone had been out of the CIA five years.

Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk said last night that amnesty is a question that Congress should consider carefully because general amnesty now could set a dangerous precedent for future conflicts. "This is basically a problem for Congress because it is the constitutional role of the Congress to raise the, armed forces of the United States," said Rusk, in Nashville to address a public meeting at 1:30 p.m. today in Underwood Auditorium at Vanderbilt University. "IF I WERE in the Congress, I would want to give some thought as to how what we do now affects the ability of the Congress to call up men in some future contin-guency," he said. "Because, if they call and everyone says, 'thank you very much, but I'll have some of your amnesty instead, then this nullifies the powers of Congress in this field." He added: "I suppose at some time and in some fashion there will be some form of amnesty because there generally has been, but I think this is primarily a problem of the Congress in relation to their own constitutional powers." RUSK, NOW a professor of international law at the University of Georgia School of Law, said he is enjoying teaching: "This, is what I wanted to do before World (Turn to Page 8 Column 1) Debt-Ridden Map Firm lost' New Airport Terminal Eyed Testifying before the Sen ate foreign relations subcommittee on multinational corporations, McCone said ITT president Harold Geneen had "mentioned a million dollars in support of any government plan for the purpose of bringing about a coalition of the opposition to Allende." ROBERT Berrellez, ITT's public relations chief for South America, told the subcommittee he offered financial aid to associates of Jorge Alessandri, the conservative national candidate whom Allende narrowly defeated at the polls in September 1970.

The offer was made to Ar-turo. Matte, who was Aiessan-dri's brother-in-law and chief adviser, Berrellez said.

"I am very disappointed that the President has is- sued a limited declaration of disaster in the counties in Tennessee involved last' week in the heavy flood i ing," said Gov.

THE NEWSMEN had been ordered to appear for depositions being prepared on the GOP's side of three civil suits arising from the break-in and wiretapping of Democratic na-, tional headquarters last June. The subpoenas required that they bring notes, tapes and other confidential materials gathered from Democratic leaders, the FBI, the police and the U.S. attorney's office.

A few hours before the government announced the whopping jump and issued the now-familiar statements aimed at soothing the public, the politicians and the trade unions, administration forces in the Senate defeated three attempts Tuesday night to enact ceiling prices on raw agricultural products and perhaps retail prices in general.

Albert Huber, executive director of Metro-Nashville airport, said the feasibility study will determine the cost of a terminal approximately three times the size of the existing facility. HUBER SAID the decision for the study came after American Airlines officials decided against constructing "a separate" terminal to accommodate increased passenger traffic. "The separate terminal idea is a thing of the past," Huber said last night after briefing members of the Mid-Cumberland Council of Governments at the Continental Inn. "The authority is exploring the possibility of going to the east side of the present runway to build a new terminal." "WE FEEL there is a need to expand the whole facility," Huber said.

According to the airport director, Nashville will need a facility "to take care of six million passengers a year by 1965." Huber said he was not sure when the feasibility study would be completed. probably next September, sources said yesterday. Although the FCC took action on the proposal yesterday, official announcement of the decision will not be made until today.
