But Sen. Clifford P. Case, R- N.J., said the vote for the amendment, which was condi- lioned to the release of all U.S. 'prisoners ol war, was greatly encouraging and he predicted ultimate victory on the Senate floor. The rejected amendment to the animal defense appropriations bill was in direct response to President Nixon's declaration Wednesday that he will ignore the only war deadline Congress has passed.

In what Nixon called an en- lorsement of his Vietnam pel cy, the House rejected 238 to G4 an effort to halt funds for 11 U.S. Indochina war operations next June 1. But Sen. Frank Church, D- daho, said Congress should a ply "the power of the purseslr- iigs which belong to Congress lone" if the President ignores he policy passed by Congress ending the war.

The June Bitter Debate Precedes Vote Won By Demos By JOE HALL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate turned back 49 to 46 a Republican move today to kill a Democratic-backed presidential campaign financing plan which could give major party nominees $20.4 million in public funds next year. The key test apparently indicated that the Democrats have the votes write the plan into the $26- billion tax cut bill.

But Republicans indicated they might continue to fight the proposal by offering a series of amendments to it. The move of Sen. Charles McC. Mathias, to kill the plan was beaten with votes of 49 Democrats. It was supported by 43 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

The board called in the United Mine Workers of America and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association for a session today.

The proposal, treated with such priority that it was included Wednesday in a supplemental budget request for the current fiscal year, would provido him a second top-of-lhe-line model from Boeing's 707 scries.

In Seattle, a Boeing Co. ipokesman said the plane could fee ready by mid-1972, an elec- tion year in which Nixon's extensive travel routine is likely to expand. A presidential aide would say only that a delivery date is indefinite. The new airship, a 707-320B, would replace a 13-year-old 707120 which has seen considerable service as Nixon's chief backup plane, including his recent trips to Alaska and Key Biscayne, and adviser Henry Kissinger's second visit to Peking. And it would match exactly the "Spirit of '76," the sleek, 9- year-old queen of the executive jet set at nearby Andrews Air Force Base.

Although there is no difference in looks or luxury between it and the backup plane, the 707-320B has better range and can operate from shorter airstrips, according to Col. Ralph D. Albertazzie, the President's pilot. "For example," said Albertazzie, "we got it into the Orange County; airport, and the backup couldn't have done that. We went into Tem- plchof (Berlin) and Ronaoke, and the backup couldn't have done that, either." Albertazzie, who has flown Nixon into all 50 states and more than 250,000 miles, said he had not been aware the President was going to ask for the new plane, one of several items for which a total of $91.5 million is sought in new spending authority from Congress.

"But it is longstanding requirement," he said. "It will give us true backup capability." At the moment, he added, (he "Spirit '76" is the only 70 320B in the Air Force inventory. Asked if he thought Nixon should have a jumbo jet, such as a Boeing 747 or a DC10, Albertazzie replied: "We've considered it. But tho problem is one of ground support. Right now you can use a 707 at ill- most any airport in the world." I 3 ay Board has allowed every ne but union construction vorkers to begin collecting, as last Sunday, raises that fell ue during the freeze but were clayed.

Furthermore, such freeze-de- ayed raises for nonconstruction vorkers may not be rolled back were some post-freeze raises old contracts. The Pay Board spent another ay debating labor's demand or unconditional retroactive ay of wage increases lost in he freeze. The vote was 9 to 5 gainst labor's position, a pokesinan said. Merit pay also vas considered, without a deci- ion, he said. Labor Leaders Charge Pay Board Harassment MIAMI BEACH (AP) AFL-CIO leaders, charging efforts to harass labor members off President Nixon's Pay Board, reportedly will urge convention delegates representing nearly 14 million union members today to fight federal wage controls in the courts and Congress.

But they will keep their men on the Pay Board. "There no question that the 10 public and Industry members are trying to sandbag the labor members it is harassment In an attempt to discourage us and force us to walk out, but we won't," said a source in a private AFL-CIO strategy meeting. He indicated this reach the Senate provisions, bill would floor by next March 1. Long predicted 52 of the.55 Democrats would support the' campaign-fund rider, with only. 50 votes needed for adoption.

And, he said; as many as three Republicans might back it. The plan is similar to one written into law in 1966 but which was nullified in 1967. Money for the fund would be obtained through voluntary che- ckoffs by taxpayers on their income lax returns allocating $1 of their payment for the purpose. There is a potential of raising $113 million this way in one year, sponsors say. Each major-party candidate would be entitled to $20.4 mlU lion from the fund next ycf.r, based on a formula of 15 cents for each person in the United States 18 years old and over.

A third-parly nominee would be given about $6.3 million. A nominee could decide not to use the government funds and rely on private financing. But if he accepted federal money, he would have to not to use any funds from other, sources. President Nixon would be faced with a tough decision if the measure becomes law. Democrats insist the GOP plans to spend to $40 million on Nixon's re-election campaign.

Catch Me If You Can Says Freeway Sex Killer By DON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -Carol Denise Spinks set out in the twilight of April 25 to the neighborhood grocery on an errand for her mother and never returned. She was Ihe first known victim of the "freeway killer." Angella Denise Barnes was second, Darlonia i Johnson third, then Brenda Fay Crockett and Nenomoshia Yates. Finally, Brenda Denise Woodard's body was found Tuesday morning beside the highway that was their common link to death. Each death a i unsolved. The body of the Spinks girl was found a week after she disappeared beside Anacostip Freeway, the middle link in an expressway span from the lower side of Washington's a through the city's southeast edge and on toward Baltimore.

Five of the victims lived near the route, and another who lived in the inner city was found dead near the freeway. There may be more. Another slain Washington area girl was found some distance away near Bowie, but she was last seen in May at shopping center less than a mile from the spot where the latest body was found. Similarity is the catchword of the case. Four of the victims had the middle name Denise.

Another had the similar sounding last name Dinnis. Two shared the first name Brenda. Like the Spinks girl, two others were on grocery errands when they disappeared. All were walking someplace. The six girls from the District of Columbia, and whose cases bear the greatest resemblance and probability of a common killer, were black.

The other, from suburban Maryland, was white. At least four of the victims in the other cases. AH were young or slight enough build to be taken for about the same age. They ranged from 10 to 18. The best clue in the deaths police may have is a note found on the latest body, reportedly signed "The Freeway Phantom." Police are keeping the contents of the note as secret as they can, but various; sources have said the three- scrawled lines on a sheet of white notebook paper'link the author to the other five slayings involving Washington girls, and close with the phrase, "Catch me if you can." were sexually molested, and Police aren't saying publicly the possibility is held open that the cases are connected.
