The government today clamped down price controls and import quotas and ordered aid for French exporters in a major rescue operation for the shaky French economy. The measures were announced at the end of a two-and a half hour cabinet meeting at which President Charles de Gaulle presided. It also was announced De Gaulle will address the nation again Saturday, putting his prestige at stake in hopes of an- other victory in the crucial second round of France's national assembly elections. The speech will be broadcast twice by radio and television. The clampdown on imports was ordered as France and the five other European Common Market countries prepared to remove all tariff barriers among them on July 1.

Clark said a GH-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen was arrested in New York City and four Frenchmen were captured in Paris in connection with the seizure.

Giordano, associate director of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, said the seizure followed an investigation that lasted several months and involved the close cooperation of the Central Narcotic Bureau of France, U.S. Customs and New York Citj and New York State police.

House Votes $136 Million Poverty Cut WASHINGTON I -The House voted today to cut $136 million from President John son's $1.1 billion request foi special educational aid to poor children. A move led largely Democratic liberals to overrid the $136 million reduction approved by the powerfu Appropriations Committee, los on a non-record vote of 149 ti 116. The liberals dominated debate on the issue with warnings further disorders in the nation' cities unless Congress spen more money on school aid. Bu a coalition of southern Demo crats and conservative Republi cans had more members on thi floor and carried the day on th crucial vote. Their principal argument wa that Congress only last wee coupled enactment of new taxe with spending cuts.

Education they claimed, must share par of the required $10 billion slas in appropriations. Kennedy Supports iin Laws Controls Called Vital Legislation WASHINGTON (DPI) -Son. Idward M.

He asked: "How long vill we permit guns in (he lands of the assassin to hrealen our political system? low many summers will we isk sniper fire which can errorize whole sections of great itics?" But on the House side, Johnson's new proposal for gun egistration and licensing drew jpposition from a top Republican policy maker who said he now was against any stiffer aws this session. Rep.

John J. Rhodes, chairman of the House GOP Committee, said he had favored strengthening the controls on hand guns passed recently by Congress, but that the President's additional propo- als had changed his mind. Rhodes urged his colleagues to oppose any further gun legislation "lest it find itsclf- a registration and licensing amendment included." 'It is a shame that the President reversed his position, orcing many of us who favored a responsible tightening of controls to oppose, for the jresenl, any further legislation in this area," Rhodes said. Although the registration licensing proposal had considerable support in the Dodd subcommittee as well as in the par- en 4 Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Roman Hruska, cautioned his colleagues not to rush action "just to do something."

Vance told North Vietnamese negotiator Xuan Thuy. "We a them to succeed. "We think there is a proper basis for peace in Southeast Asia that conforms to Ilic legitimate interests of all the countries of that area, and a we and others should move toward it." Vance said of the U.S. position: "We are prepared to cease bombardment at the appropriate time and circumstances. Our fundamental premise is that North Vietnam must not improve its military position as a result of the cessation of bombardment by the United Slates." Thuy replied, according to his spokesman, with a new demand a all attacks on the North stop immediately without any military reciprocity by the North Vietnamese forces.

He said then other peacemaking questions could be discussed here. Meanwhile in Saigon U.S. sources said today two freshly equipped North Vietnamc.se regiments--possibly 5,800 men--are believed headed toward Saigon to join Hie enemy force threatening another attack on the South Vietnamese capital.

'Buffalo Soldiers' Relive History rizona Frontier By DAN PAVILLARD Citizen Staff Writer In 18G8, 1874, and 1887, the U.S. 10th Cavalry rode the Tucson-Ft. Huachuca area protecting stage coaches, patroling the border and helping frontiersmen control lawlessness. Now they're back. Thirty of the 40-man contingent answered the bugle call of The High Chaparral producer William Claxton to control some lawlessness in a script called "The Buffalo Soldiers." The original buffalo soldiers were a crack troop of Negro cavalrymen led by a white officer, a troop that covered itself with distinction in its 78-year history from 18GG to 1944.

The present day "soldiers" are Los Angeles area Negroes who decided three years ago to "enlighten the world about the Negro's part in the heritage of building this country." Sgt. Lenton W. Glascow described the troop's career just before riding into battle yesterday. "A few of us began finding out a lot about the Negro's history in American battles," he said. "We set up a military organization, established parliamentary procedures and required each man to know his history." Each rider rents his own horse ($2.50 per hour) for at least one drill a ween, but most ride two or three times a week.

When the soldiers appear in parades, they shell out $20 each. For a 50-mile ride before Bill Burrud's documentary cameras, each man spent $25. "Until now, we've paid everything out of our own Glascow said. The Nationa Broadcasting Company paid their transportation here, expenses plus salaries. "We thought at first we'd make a movie to tell our story, but we found out in a hurry you can't just go out and make a movie," Glascow said.

"We appeared on the Ralph Storey show in Los Angeles (where Claxton saw them) and our aim is to one day have a television series of our own." Hearing a cat! from an assistant director, Glascow spun out of his interview instantly into the 1880's. "Fall in!" he bellowed, smiled, touched his hai brim with a gloved hand and headed for his horse. NBC's camera crew sailed overhead in a sling dangling from a 65-foot high crane, wail ing for the Buffalo Soldiers to charge Ihe "villains" gathered on the west end of Ryan Field. Director Joe Pevncy, like a attlefield general, described vith a stick how the a vould rage. "Where's the doctor just in case," muttered a technician.

"Charge!" Pcvney cried. The bugle sounded and the troopers rode at a gallop into the ranks of the rabble, through them a i their phony rubber swords), regrouped to the renegades' disorganized rear and charged back through them again. A blinding cloud of dusl enveloped (he scene. From the crane came Pevney's worried command to the leaders of both sides: "Count your men!" When the dust cleared, the casualties were toted up: two sombreros and one soldier's hat..
