Big defense bill okayed by House WASHINGTON (AP) The House has approved the biggest defense-spending bill since World War and refused, after 10 minutes' debate, to cut off funds for the Vietnam war. A two-hour squabble was climaxed by a vote to phase out KP duty from the military. The defense bill was passed 322 to 40 Thursday night and sent to the Senate. The war-money cutoff, the same as one being pressed by Sen.

Edward W. Brooke, R- in the Senate, was rejected 208 to 160. "We have stayed too long and paid too great a price," said Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo, D- N.Y., author of the House' amendment.

"It is time to come home and heal our own There were shouts of "Vote! Vote!" and the House rejected Addabbo's amendment after ten minutes of debate. It would have cut off money for all U.S. operations in Indochina, except for withdrawal, in four months providing Hanoi had released American prisoners by then and given an accounting of missing GIs. The major House debate was over military programs to phase out KP, derided as making life too soft for GIs and defended as a major incentive for attracting an all-volunteer mili- tary by next June 1 30. Overriding an Appropriations Committee recommendation to terminate programs aimed at turning KP over to civilian workers, the House voted 265 to 117 to authorize continuation of the programs.

The House rejected with voice votes and little debate amendments by Rep. Sidney R. Yates, to cut from the spending bill all $445 million for the advanced Bl bomber and $10 million for more-sophisticated nuclear warheads. -Hope (Ark.) Star photo by R.

WASHINGTON (AP) A Senate probe has been told that someone in the 7th Air Force filed dual true, one pre-planned air strikes against North Vietnam. Sgt.

Lonnie Franks told the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday that the false reports were widely circulated, but that, as nearly as he could determine, the true account went only to "individuals" at 7th Air Force headquarters. Franks, whose letter to a senator prompted the committee's closed-door inquiry, was assigned at the time to an intelligence job with the 342nd Reconnaissance Wing at Udorn, Thailand. Franks told newsmen he didn't know whether the reports reached any officers ranking higher than Gen. John D. Lavelle, the 7th Air Force commander relieved of duties after disclosure of the strikes.

In order for the raids to be excused as "protective-reac- tion" strikes under the air-war rules, reports had to show that the pilots had been fired upon or locked in on by enemy missile radar. In the reports he was told by superiors to falsify beginning last Jan. 25, Franks said, he wrote of ground fire when there had been none. Gen. Creighton W.

Abrams, whose nomination as Army Additional hearings on prison changes ordered by Henley LITTLE ROCK (AP) Additional hearings will be held to determine whether changes he ordered in the state prison system are being accomplished, U. S. District Court Judge J. Smith Henley said Thursday. The judge said the hearing was needed because he had received a "constant stream of complaints" for inmates.

Henley, who declared the state prison system unconstitutional in 1970, said he knew from experience that many in- dividual complaints were "groundless and that many of them are exaggerated," but that he could not dismiss the complaints as frivolous or merely accept denials or justifications made by prison personnel. The judge said that if the complaints were "only partially valid," they would indicate that prison personnel were violating the court's orders. He said "those responsible can expect to be cited for contempt." chief of staff has been held up by the Lavelle inquiry, reportedly has testified he was unaware of the exact nature of the raids. Sen. Harold Hughes, D-Iowa, quoted Abrams as telling the committee he had received no instructions to' step up the raids.

But, Hughes said, the fighter- bomber commands "were encouraged to be more aggressive under existing orders." "There were pre-planned strikes and falsification of reports," Hughes said. "In the 7th Air Force there was knowledge from top to bottom. Something is drastically wrong when the entire command assists in falsifying reports." The Air Force investigation, the firing of Lavelle, the eventual publicity of the maneuvers, and the inquiry itself stemmed from the letter Hughes received from Franks, 23, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

BELFAST (AP) British troops rammed a hijacked car Thursday night and captured an Irish Republican Army chief who escaped from a prison ship eight months ago.

Meanwhile, terrorists set off a bomb in a car parked outside a hotel in a Catholic district of Belfast, killing a man driving by in another car and injuring 49 persons in the hotel. It was the first fatality from a guerrilla bomb in two weeks and raised Northern Ireland's confirmed toll in three years of violence to of them in this year alone. There was some speculation that the bombing was the work of Protestant guerrillas and not the Roman Catholics of the Irish Republican Army, since the hotel was popular with IRA men and members of the Catholic Civil Rights Assn. Elsewhere, gunmen wounded three British soldiers and an Ulster militiaman. But troops claimed they hit some guerrillas.

Belfast also had eight bomb blasts, but no one was hurt in those. Jim Bryson, regarded by army officers as the second most wanted man in Ulster, was grabbed with five other IRA men after an army armored personnel carrier rammed their car in a Catholic district of Belfast. Bryson got out and ran down an alley, firing at pursuing troops. He ran into another patrol, and a soldier tackled him. Two of Bryson's companions were also captured, one wounded.

Bryson was a battalion commander of the IRA's Provisional wing in Belfast and is known as a sharpshooter. He has been on the run since late January when he and six other guerrillas sawed through the iron bars on a porthole on the prison ship Maidstone, stripped to their underpants, smeared themselves with shoe polish and butter and swam through the icy waters of Belfast harbor to freedom. Gunfire crackled throughout the night in the Catholic districts of Andersonstown, AT- doyne and Falls Road. The fiercest was around the Royal Victoria Hospital in the Falls. At least a down gunmen pumped shots and hurled bombs at army pose) circling the 50-acre hospital complex.

Two soldiers were wounded, but troops said they hit several gunmen. Shooting continued until after.
