"Moreover," he said, "there is no requirement that these public sector jobs be linked to training or the prospect of other employment opportunities.

WPA-type jobs are not the answer for the men and women who have them, for government which is less efficient as a result, or for the taxpayers who must foot the bill." NIXON SAID such a program would be a reversion Senate, Nixon called for a new bill with sound manpower reform, along with a family assistance program and federal-state-local revenue sharing. SECRETARY of Labor James Hodgson said, however, that passage of a new bill is- "less than in the brief time remaining, in this session of Congress. Nixon said his chief objection was that the bill provided "as much as 44 of the total to remedies tried 35 years ago. This was Nixon's seventh legislative veto since he took office two years ago. Hodgson noted that the veto will not affect existing manpower training programs which will continue at a $2 billion level.

He said Nixon was opposed primarily to the form of the bill and wanted to "decategorize" programs rather than fit new efforts into the "straitjacket of existing programs." 3 XT I unurfi: DrtDnO IJnUr snyriunnunun sr rjm tiro ncyn ll (Ml I I Ml lil fMI I 5 Polish Rioting In Third Day UUnUnUUrJLU WASHINGTON (AP) -President i vetoed yesterday a $9.5 billion manpower training bill. He said it would relegate large numbers of workers to permanent subsidized employment. i Nixon objected to' the form of the measure; not the amount of money involved, saying it. "only perpetuates and extends the deficiencies in our manpower programs." THE BILL passed the Senate 68 to 13 and the House approved it last Thursday 177 to 159. Among other things it would have authorized $200 million immediately, to stem rising unemployment by" creating thousands of public service jobs.

Separate legislation ap-. propriating the funds would have been required. In an effort to head off-, a veto, Senate and House conferees at the last minute trimmed $2.5 billion from the amount authorized. THE BILL earmarked $2 billion altogether for public service employment. After the initial $200 million, spending would have risen to $400 million next $600 million in fiscal 1973, and $800 million in 1974.:: 1 Backers contended the program would create 40,000 jobs this year and up to 300,000 by 1974.

ERVIN SAID the former agent would be called to testify before his subcommittee next February. The senator did not identify his informant but The Evening Star said he is John O'Brien.

The newspaper reported O'Brien identified himself in an interview as a domestic spy for the Army and said of his activities: "The Army wanted to determine their political views so. that in certain situations we would know how they would react; wether they would condone violence or be for investigations of civilians were limited to those who demonstrated a penchant for violence or other illegal conduct. "It 'was enough," he said in. a statement, "that they opposed or did not actively support the government's policy in Vietnam or that they disagreed with domestic policies of the administration, or that they were contact or sympathetic to people with such views." ASIDE FROM Stevenson and Kerner, Ervin said, the Illinois target list of the 113th Military Intelligence Group with jurisdiction over the Midwest included Democratic Rep. Abner Mikva and a host of state and local officials political contributors, newspaper reporters, lawyers and, church figures.

By LEE BYRD WASHINGTON (AP) Army intelligence agents have spied on Sen. Adlai E. Ste-venson III, former Gov. Otto Kerner and about 800 other civilians in Illinois alone, Sen. Sam J.

Ervin Jr. said yester-, day. Ervin, a North Carolina Democrat who heads the Senate subcommittee on con-' stitutional rights, said his information was supplied by a former Army agent who was assigned to political surveillance in Illinois. "THE ARMY investigated these men during their campaign for office and while they were in office," said Ervin. Ervin disputed, earlier claims by the military that myst i photographers with telephoto lenses were from the opposite political camp.

NOW, HE said, he doesn't know whether the alleged spying was the political opposition in Illinois, by the military or by whom." The Illinois Democrat added "there is no place in a free society for snooping by the military in. the peaceful political affairs of citizens." Mikva told the, House that if the reported practice is widespread "we have reached a frightening! state against civilian control over military." Chairman George H. Mahon, of the House Appropriations Committee said if the accounts are accurate he shares Mikva's sense of Kerner, now a federal judge, headed the presidential commission on violence which submitted a report that stirred some controversy. A spokesman said the Army is gravely concerned by the reports is looking into hem. He added that Army policy emphatically prohibits collection of information of the 1 tvpe reportedly' gathered in Illinois.

AT THE White House, presidential press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said in response to a question, "It's inconceivable to, me that that w-ould take place. We certainly don't condone it."
