The House voted down an other proposed state income tax bill twice the 1971 session. The bill, offered by Gov. Richard Kneip's Council for Tax Decision, was similar to the measure introduced a year ago and would have raised some $50 million in revenue from a personal and corporate state income tax.

After the vote was announced Tuesday, evening, Rep. Larry Piersol, D-Sioux Falls, changed his vote to permit reconsideration of the bill. The House then Nixon Claims Peace Breakthroughs, Half -Dozen 'Sharp Disappointments' voted to suspend the rules so that the reconsideration, and consideration of seven other measures could take place Wednesday. Without the suspension of the rules. Tuesday would have been the final day for passage of bills.

Eight of the 45 House IRe- publicans voted in favor of the income tax bill, while four of the Democrat representatives opposed it. ReD. James Kesling. R-Tim- ber Lake, called the proposal a giant conceptual step. "This bill isn't perfect." He said, "but it will provide a skeleton for future legislatures to build on.

And it will give the governor a chance to prove tax reform for the people." Rep. Joe 3arnett, R-Aber- The President mentioned his forthcoming visits to Peking and Moscow, new economic relationships with European al lies and Japan, and of a new environment for the world's monetary and trade activities." Nixon also: Said his Peking journey starting next week will not resolve quickly deep U.S.-Chinese differences but will end "a sterile and barren interlude be-twen Jwo great peoples" and "will represent a necessary and giant step toward the creation of a stable structure of world peace."

Simon Chance, R-Scot-land, said, "we've passed in the last two weeks bills subsidizing rainmakers and airports. I don't ever intend to vote for anything that puts one dime more in the general fund.

"It is beyond dispute that we have made signal progress," Nixon said in his 236-page report. "For too long, American policy consisted of reacting to events," he said.

"Today the United States is once again acting with assurance and purpose on the world stage. "We know where we are go ing. We are" moving with his tory, and moving history ourselves." Under the heading of unfin ished business, Nixon listed as pressing problems he Keed for greater TJ.S.-Soviet accom modation and self-restraint a better relationship with China, disarmament. more-effective aid to poor countries, trade and monetary reform, and improv ing the United Nations.

The British army was alerted for attacks by the Irish Re publican Army and police leaves were canceled. At Newry, scene of the massive march in silence the main Belfast-Dublin road was blocked by barricades. Automobiles were set afire in Coalis and in County Tyrone. In Belfast and Londonderry, promised protests on a mass scale did not materialize.

Most shops, schools and factories in Northern Ireland's two major cities opened normally. "It is an absolute disaster at the moment," Londonderry civil rights leader Michael Havord said. The Day of Disruption was called by the" mainly Roman Catholic Civil Rights Association to protest Northern Ireland's policy of interning suspected gunmen without trial. Both the government and curity forces had braced for huge Catholic support of the Civil Rights Association's campaign which was aimed at closing factories and schools, jamming telephone communications and blocking roads. By noon, however, the telephone network was working almost normally and a few roads near Londonderry and border with the Irish republic, which had been blocked by felled trees and telegraph poles overnight, had been cleared by the army.

In Belfast, the only outward sign of protest was a march through the city center by 500 school children chanting. "Free the internees!" Many Catholic businesses and schools opened as usual in Londonderry where the campaign was expected to be strongest. No one turned up at a meeting called by the Civil Rights Association in the town's fiercely republican Creggan Estate. Havord blamed. the confused situation in Londonderry on an order from opposition legislator John Hume on Tuesday night that people should work normally.

There was shooting and bombing during the night, but no more than usual. Mitchell Man Dies In Crash MITCHELL, S.D. AP) A Mitchell resident died in a one-car accident near here Tuesday, authorities reported. The victim as identified as Robert D. Huston, 54.

My responsibility to my people is to head off wild spending in state government." The House debated three hours and handled a dozen proposed amendments before finally killing the bill. The first amendment, offered by Rep. Charles Larkin, R-Clark, and approved by a voice vote, removed a Senate amendment that would have referred the final bill to a vote of the people at, the next general elec tion. Then Rep.

"When the voters defeated the initiated income tax in the 1970 general election," Lebrun said, "they were saying they didn't want to make the decision, they wanted us to do it. That is our responsibility." Several Republican legislators questioned Lebrun's interpretation of the 1970 vote, and both his and Stalheim's motions were killed. Rep.
