E. Schwan, O.D. Are Reduced In Britain LONDON, July 1 (AP)-More than 1000 gambling clubs in Britain closed today, victims of a new gaming law. A topless stripper marked the event in one town, leading a mock funeral parade. Elsewhere, the change was viewed more seriously.

Some casino operators warned that the new law would drive gambling in Britain underground. London police reported signs of illegal gambling flourishing in the capital in advance of the new law, which took effect at midnight. The law reduced the number of licensed gambling clubs in Britain to 165 from over 1200. It also cut down on side attractions, such as a i 1 clad girls, music, dancing and cabarets. The idea was to curb the spread of a 1 i without driving bettors underground.

It appeared unlikely that Mr. i Nixon would make new negoti-; ating proposals, White House of-'. -ficials said the Administration I had put forward the only new negotiating proposals of the last 17 months and that Hanoi had rejected them all. They said that if Hanoi thought the United I States was under constant pres-1 sure to come up with new ideas a new propositions for a peaceful settlement, it was I more likely to make unreasona- ble demands. I On other matters yesterday, the White House responded mildly to Senate passage of the Cooper-Church amendment.

Zie-gler said that although debate on the proposal was somewhat confusing, the result "clearly points out that the Senate rec-i ognizes the prerogatives and i responsibilities of the President I as commander in chief." He declined to answer a question on whether the President would veto the bill containing the Cooper-Church amendment should it reach his desk. Ziegler noted that the House was not expected to approve it. On a piece of legislation that did reach his desk, Mr. Nixon expressed strong doubts but al i lowed it to become law without his signature. The bill extendsa special milk program, authorizing $120,000,000 in the 1971 fiscal year, which begins today, subsidize low prices charged for milk distributed to children in certain puouc ami puvaie iiuii- profit institutions, such as schools and child-care centers.

Thi nrnrram is senarate from the school lunch program. No Funds In Budget i' i The Administration budget had included no funds for the special milk program and the President had recommended that it be discontinued. He ob iected that only about 10 per cent of the milk distributed went to children of poor fami lies and the rest went to to those who could afford to pay for it. A bill that is not vetoed within 10 days of passage becomes law if the President does not sign it. Mr.

Nixon implied that he 1 not spend all the funds authorized by Congress for the milk program. "We must avoid wasting the taxpayers' money on overlap-p i and unnecessary pro- srams," he said. "Therefore it should be clearly understood that whatever funds I use from this program, I intend to use for the school lunch and child nutrition and milk programs for children from poverty families, and not for those who are in no need of such a subsidy."
