He confirmed earlier reports that the South Vietnamese command is conferring with senior plans for withdrawal of some American combat troops this year. Thieu did not indicate a withdrawal timetable.

When asked for specific figures, he said that he had not received a report' from the Vietnamese and American officers who are conferring. Thicu did not make tin- expected announcement of dates for a cease-fire for the Tet lunar new celebration in the middle of this month. "It is still too early," he said, but he added: "Up to this date, in principle we will have a Tet The lit nar holiday this year falls on Feb. 17, and the Viet Cong has proclaimed a seven-day cease- fire for Feb. 15-22.

Hut the assertion, made by; Sclinol Board President Charles Merrills, did trigger a chorus 1 of agreement on the system's Merrills said teachers "carry Sims for their own protection from students, outsiders, militants and even in some case front parents. "This doesn't apply just to East St. Louis schools," Merritts continued.

"I know in my schools where you have problems with militants. It's a pathetic situation, but it's become a way of life." Gus Slacker, chief investigator for Stale's Attorney Robert Rice, called on Merrills to "pinpoint" persons carrying weapons.

"Society, in terms of govern-i ment agencies, has not hcenj able to secure these schools; against incidents," Bush said. "They have been only able to respond to a call for help when the incident has occurred and by that time the teachers on students may be beaten up, or worse." i U.S.

WASHINGTON (AIM The United States has agreed to an A a i a request to study the i feasibility of using nuclear ex! plosives to develop a harbor on Australia's northwest coast, the State Department announced today. No decision has been made on whether United States will actually take part in (he project at Australia's Cape Kerawlren.

the department added. It said a decision must await (he outcome of the U.S.- Australian study on whether the employment of atomic explo-; sivos for blasting the and channel would technical-; iy and economically workable. The joint study will not pet into political and legal questions, the announcement said. These loom large in any potential use of nuclear explosives. No commercial use of atomic explosives has yet been undertaken although some experts have Ions viewed it as a potentially economical means for earth removal.

The Australians figure the U.S. contribution would come to S6 million worth of nuclear de Vices. They think the experience should be worth that much to the Americans. The harbor and channel are needed in the lonely Cape Ker-' audren area to permit Australia to ship the vast iron deposits there. Australian Development Minister David Fairbanks has said government engineers are thinking about one blast, with five 200-kiloton nuclear charges; placed in a row 1,100 feet apart and at a depth of about 800 feet.

The harbor would be completed by conventional methods. The department said in its notmcement it "welcomed ttie proposal pointing toward a possible peaceful application of nuclear technology which might contribute to progress for the potential benefit of many na lions." It said the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission will work directly with the Australian Atom it- Energy Commission on the study.
