4-A Wednesday, Od. 1. 11)72 Tin Sinn vi ioht Times Sen. Edwards Averts Senate Fracas pleaded Sen. Elaine Edwards, who was acting as presiding officer at the time.

Cotton finally stepped back and sat down in his chair, still fuming. "I regret terribly that this little fracas has taken place," Javits said. "It hasn't taken place yet," said Cotton. The quarrel was over the administration's position on a pending amendment to exempt firms with fewer than seven employes from federal occupational safety laws. Javits claimed the administration supported the measure, citing a letter from the Secretary of Labor.

Cotton said it did not, contending Javits had not consulted with resident phones, the two men stood arguing for several minutes during a late-night Senate session. Suddenly, after Javits told Cotton he was uttering "glittering rhetoric that you know to be a falsehood." Cotton scrambled across the aisle with only a frail Sen. John Sherman Cooper, separating him from his adversary. Leaning forward toward Javits, his chin jutted out. he shouted at the New York Senator: "Did you say I spoke a falsehood." Javits protested that he had not meant it that way.

"What did you say, sir," Cotton demanded, leaning closer toward Javits, as Cooper ducked. "What did you say." "Gentlemen, please," WASHINGTON (UPI) -With clenched fists, a glowering Sen. Norris Cotton, charged across the aisle in the Senate chamber Tuesday night in the direction of Sen. Jacob Javits, But under the soothing, southern voice of a lady senator, Cotton restrained himself and combat was avoided between the paunchy but longarmed 72-year-old New Hampshireman and the athletic 68-year-old New Yorker. The incident occurred after a blistering verbal exchange between Javits and Cotton over occupational safety laws and whether the administration supported an amendment to exempt firms with fewer than seven employes.

In other Middle East developments Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said some guerrillas had infiltrated Israel among the 151,000 Arab visitors who have been allowed to enter the country this summer across the Allenby Bridge in Israeli-occupied Jordan. "They managed to infiltrate and we did have some bad views of it," Dayan said on a visit to the bridge spanning the Jordan River.

"But you cannot really avoid that with such large numbers of people. I dw'nt think that because of it we should stop the visits program." Under the program, Israel opened the Allenby Bridge from June 15 until Oct. 15 for Arabs who have relatives residing in the occupied West Bank of Jordan. The Middle East News Agency (MENA) said in a dispatch from the North Yemen capital of Sanaa that a seven-day border war between North and South troops from the Marxist South remain on territory of the North. The dispatch quoted a North Yemen military spokesman, who said that the border situation remains tense despite an end to the fighting.

"Coming at this time of the year the action by the committee is extremely significant," said Koob, whose organization represents about 4 million pupils in 11,000 schools. "While we applaud the efforts of the House Ways and Means Committee to help resolve the very difficult question of aid to nonpublic schools, we realize that this is only the first significant step in what we hope will eventually be a recognition WASHINGTON (UPI) -The House Ways and Means Committee voted 18 to 6 Tuesday to allow a tax credit of up to $200 per pupil for tuition paid for sending i 1 to private school.

Backers of the bill said they would push for congressional action before adjournment of this Congress, but those chances appeared dim. The bill would prevent any tax credit for tuition paid for a private school that is racially segregated. The measure would take effect Aug. 1, 1973, and would allow taxpayers filing federal income tax returns in 1974 to deduct 50 per cent of tuition costs up to a maximum of $200 per year per child.

Capital-gains taxes are avoided completely since political parties which receive the gifts of stock now worth a great deal more than when the donor purchased them pay no income taxes at all. Thus, the donor escapes gift taxes by breaking his donations up into blocks worth under $3,000 and the recipient escapes capital-gains taxes because political parties pay no taxes. The government, in these cases, gets nothing from the transaction.
