Chile seizes biggest U.S. copper mine SANTIAGO (UPI) The Chilean government is taking over control of El Teniente, the world's largest copper mine. from the Kennecott Copper Corp. in what may be another step in Marxist President Salvador Allende's program to nationalize U.S. copper interests.

Minister of Mining Orlando Cantuarias said Thursday the Chilean Copper a government agency, would send six representatives to take over control of the mine Saturday. Cantuarias said the move was made because "irregularities" in four of the mine's eight converter ovens had cut production, and because of a $5.5 million deficit. Kennecott owns 49 per cent of El Teniente, situated in Raucagua, about 65 miles south of Santiago, and operates the mine under the Braden a wholly owned subsidiary. Stateowned Chilean companies own the controlling 51 per cent. Allende became the Western World's first freely elected Marxist president in November.

He had promised in his campaign to nationalize foreign interests in Chile and has been pushing his program since then. The Chilean Senate liberalized and sent to the Chamber of Deputies May 12 Allende's proposed constitutional amendment that would permit him to nationalize the holdings of the three U.S. copper companies in Chile Kennecott. Anaconda and Cerro. The two houses of congress are expected to meet within the next two months for a final vote on the amendment.

Meanwhile, the government has been negotiating with the U.S. firms on indemnity. Engineers work Senate breaks stalemate on solving rocket problem on draft with time limit CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)Engineers worked on solving a new rocket problem today that will delay the second and last attempt to send a Mariner television satellite toward Mars until late next week at the earliest. The trouble that caused the loss of the first Mariner shortly after launch May 8 has been traced to an electrical circuit the size of a pinhead in the autopilot steering control unit of the Atlas-Centaur rocket. While project officials were resolving that problem, a short circuit was detected in a fuel gauging system in the hydrogen propellant tank in the Centaur upper stage of the rocket being prepared for the second ner launching.

The 2.200-pound spacecraft was removed. the rocket opened and an engineer was lowered into the tank to locate the short and fix it. The centaur is expected to be put back together and the Mariner replaced this weekend. The Centaur autopilot identical to the one that failed May 8 is due back today or Saturday after being put through a series of unusual tests at the General Dynamics Corp. plant at San Diego, Calif: Although the failure was traced to a specific autopilot circuit.

project officials are not certain what led to the failure. Deputy Space Agency trator George M. Low said Thursday the assumption is that a diode that was to protect the circuit from electrical overloads did not work. New tests were devised to check the diodes in the new autopilot to make certain the second rocket would not meet the same fate. Vincent Johnson, Deputy Associate Space Agency Administrator.

said al a news conference in Washington the shot is expected to be rescheduled for no earlier than next Friday. or a few days later. The agency hopes to launch the Mariner by June 6, but the shot could be attempted as late as June 16 if necessary. A flight later than June 6, however, would require more spacecraft fuel for course corrections and less would be available for orbital maneuvers around Mars. WASHINGTON (UP)) -The Senate broke a stalemate on the draft bill today and agreed to strict time limits on six pending amendments to the measure.

The action improved chances for passage of the two-year extension of the draft law which is scheduled to expire June 30. Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, however, renewed his threat to filibuster the measure until the existing authority expires. The agreement, worked out in negotiations between Gravel and Sen. John Stennis, D- calls for roll call votes on six The outcome of the bargaining could influence relations between Washington and Santiago, which have been cool but correct since Allende's election.

The three U.S. companies have estimated their original investments in the Chilean operations at an aggregate of $600 million. The indemnity will be based on their prime investments, less depreciation and amortization. The amendment stipulates payment to the U.S. firms over a period of not more than 30 years, at not less than 3 per cent.

Sisco, following Rogers' talks with Israeli leaders, the sources said.

Both sides appeared to be stiffening their positions, and Israeli Deputy Yigal Allon said Thursday night Egypt might have done so because of "overoptimismin Washington," an apparent reference to the optimistic statements Rogers made on his return. Sisco returned to Cairo with Israel's canal proposals and had five hours of talks with President Anwar Sadat and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad. It was agreed then that Egypt would send a highranking diplomat, either Riad or Premier Mahmoud Fawzi, to Washington with Egypt's reply.

The agreement between Stennis and Gravel came after the southerner declared a filibuster against extending the draft would be so dangerous to the national security he would abandon the principle of a lifetime to vote for cloture.

Smith and sending him winging back to Vienna for fresh talks with the Russians.

But terms of the agreement remained a diplomatic mystery since officials would not elaborate on the joint statement. The statement said simply: governments of the United States and the Soviet Union, after reviewing the course of their talks on the limitations of strategic mament. have agreed to concentrate this year on working out an agreement for the limitation of the deployment of antiballistic missile systems. They have also agreed that together with the concluding of an agreement to antiballistic missile systems, they will agree on certain measures with respect to the limitation of offensive strategic weapons." White House officials left the impression that the agreement represented a significant concession by the Soviet Union.

systems -such as the AB.M while the United States had insisted on reaching an agree. ment on both defensive and offensive missile systems. The Soviet side. therefore. appeared to have swung around to the American viewpoint.

But the official statement also said that during the current year both sides would concentrate on working out an agreement limiting only the ABM: systems of both countries. This is what the Soviets have been after. There was an obvious guity in the joint SovietAmerican statement which permitted it to be interpreted in several ways without actually revealing its true substance. Gerard C. Smith, the top U.S.

arms negotiator, was expected to return to Vienna today to wind up the current phase of the talks. GM to fight pollution DETROIT (UPI) General Motors Corp. Chairman James M. Roche, confronted by a small but persistent group of dissident stockholders. today announced G.M will spend $150 million this year "to take the automobile out of the air pollution problem." Roche told the G.M stockholders meeting in his annual report that GM had added $26 million to the $124 million it previously estimated it would spend on cleaning up exhaust pollution.

While Roche did not say so. his announcement of the additional expenditure ap parently was timed to take some of the steam out of Campaign G.M criticism of the corporation's responsiveness to public concern about the automobile's contribution to air pollution. One of Campaign GM's stockholder proposals would require the company to publish a detailed report annually on progress the company made in solving social and environmental problems, such as air pollution. Roche did not comment on any of the other stockholder resolutions submitted by Campaign GM. The group.

Philip W. Moore. executive director of the Project On Corporate Responsibility, which sponsors the group. said Campaign GM was hoping only that the proposals this year would "have a big enough impact that ultimately they will be adopted -at least in substance." Moore said anything above 3 per cent this year would be considered a victory.

SACRAMENTO (UPI) Sen. Birch Bayh, today accused President Nixon and Gov. Ronald Reagan of political capital out of human misery" and said he will introduce legislation to block the governor's welfare "reform" program. In a sharp attack against both the Republican governor and the President, Bayh charged that Reagan is seeking waivers in federal law to implement part of his controversial program. The senator said he will introduce a bill to prevent him from doing it.

Bayh told a news conference during the second day of a prepresidential campaign swing that Nixon and Reagan "have made welfare the most volatile political issue in the state and possibly the nation." He added they "are trying to make political capital out of human misery by a demagogic misinterpretation of the facts." Bayh said Nixon and Reagan have charged the "welfare rolls are filled with lazy men and women who do not want to work." But the senator said 80 per cent of the nation's welfare recipients are either children, the aged or totally disabled. Most of the rest are either employed or seeking work. Only and should be half per cent, he said, "can A Reagan spokesman later replied "it's an outright lie" that the governor has charged the welfare rolls are "filled with lazy" recipients. Bayh, however, did cautiously praise Nixon's proposed welfare "reform" bill as offering decided improvement" over the present situation. He said if the plan is enacted, it will "take the governor's welfare 'reform' out of the picture." Nixon's proposal- -which Reagan has criticized as too liberal -would provide a $2,400 income floor for a family of four.

The Indiana Democrat launched his verbal assault on Reagan's welfare proposals Thursday night when he told newsmen at a party fundraising dinner that the waivers the governor seeks from Washing. ton "are a direct violation of THAT'S I NOT A BAD the law--not only stretching it but breaking Bayh linked Reagan and President Nixon together as great, aging powers" who mislead and It was one of the strongest attacks yet leveled against Reagan by a Democratic presidential hopeful stumping the state for support in next year's primary election. Asked by a newsman whether he feared it might be politically dangerous to criticize a governor so popular in public opinion polls, Bayh replied, "if it's wrong politically, that's the way it has to be. You do what you think is right." Reagan is asking the Nixon Administration to waive sections of the federal law so California can experiment with welfare and benefits to recipients who are not "truly needy." That the principle of Egyptian troops crossing the canal into the Israeli-held Sinai was not negotiable. That the cease-fire should be limited.

Allon said of the speech, could not take seriously the conditions for an agreement on the reopening of the Suez Canal President Sadat has set speech proves the Egyptian government has toughened its (Middle East) stance. hope this development was not prompted by overoptimism in Washington." Allon did not elaborate, but apparently referred to optimistic remarks made by Secretary of State William P. Rogers following his tour of the Middle East earlier this month. Egyptians are trying to enlist American pressure on us that we give up more than we can without endangering our national interests." Allon said. "I do not exclude the possibility the Egyptians will attempt to have Israel foot the bill for the latest upheaval in their try." Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban took a similar attitude in remarks Thursday.

"One could not take seriously the conditions for an agreement on the reopening of the Suez Canal President Sadat has set." he said. Sadat outlined the terms Thursday in a speech to the National Assembly. He said the reopening must be part of an overall settlement, Egyptian troops must be allowed across the canal. and there could be no indefinite cease-fire while Israeli soldiers remained on Arab land occupied during the 1967 war.
