Debate opens today on the measure as the 93rd Congress begins a busy second econd week of its se ession. The Congress will assemble with other top government officials in the House chamber Wednesday night to hear President Nixon's State of the Union address. Tuesday the Senate will put aside the legal services measure to act on the compromise emergency energy bill left hanging when the 1973 session ended last month.

The Nixon administration strongly objects to a provision in the bill aimed at windfall profits of oil companies, and Republicans may seek to send it back to a Senate-House conference to delete this section. If the Senate passes the legislation, House leaders plan to clear it to the President later in the week.

State Transportation Secretary Lan-ghorne Bond told truckers at a meeting a month ago that the department would not support any weight limit increase, saying state roads are already being pushed to the limit with current weight standards.

SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) Heavy fighting was reported today on the first anniversary of the cease-fire that was supposed to end the Vietnam War but didn't.

The South Vietnamese command claimed that 62 Viet Cong were killed in three battles 45 to 110 miles southwest of Saigon in the Mekong Delta. Government losses were put at 15 dead and 10 wounded. Neither the government nor the Viet Cong held any special ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the peace agreement which secured the release of American prisoners of war held by the Communists and paved the way for the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam. The Saigon command, in revised casualty figures covering the year of the cease-fire, claimed that 45,202 Communist troops were killed since Jan. 28, 1973, while casualties on the government side were 12,803 military men killed, 56,085 wounded, 4,223 missing; 2,163 civilians in government-controlled area killed and 5,983 The military casualties are about half what was reported in the year before the cease-fire.

Mondale, said a new Treasury Department report shows that American oil companies used the foreign-tax credit to cut their 1971 U.S. taxes by 75 per cent. "This extraordinary use of the foreign-tax credit reinforces the long-standing suspicion that the big multinational oil companies have worked out special deals with the Arab sheiks to jack up their foreign-tax credits," Mondale charged. Simply by taking advantage of the credits system, he said, oil companies cut their taxes due to the United States from $3.2 billion to $788 million, he said. Under Internal Revenue Service rules firms operating abroad can deduct most of the taxes they pay to foreign governments from U.S.

"Volume increases can offset costs to a certain extent." "Volume" to hospital officials means the number of patients handled. "We can increase volume profitably until we have to hire more people to care for them properly," Kostelc said.

Passed by the Senate last year, it is designed to guarantee employes of companies with pension plans that they actually receive the promised benefits.

Jesse Helms, and other conservatives, have pledged an all-out fight against it. They have introduced more than 10 amendments for floor consideration.

Leaders of the 280,000 coal miners mounted a massive propaganda campaign to persuade their members to vote this week to strike the mines on Feb. 10.

Posters, leaflets and speeches were prepared for delivery at every pithead. "In my pit the boys are determined to vote for a strike," said one Welsh miner. "Even if some of them have private doubts, I am sure they will see the sense of supporting the leadership." "My grandson's going out with a girl of 16 who's a typist and she brings home more than my son who's a cutter at the coal face," said a woman in the North country. 1 1 (Continued From Page One) providing for energy absorption and imparting an "uplift" force to overcome the rolling tendency, of the yehicle and redirect the car parallel to the Recent data shows the barrier's effectiveness.

There has been only one property damage accident in Highland's town limits. Police departments in Gary, Hammond and Highland are "grateful" for the reduction in serious traffic accidents. Hammond police said "there is a big drop in accidents, especially fatals, since the barricade was finished." The only serious accident happened when a car spun and hit another car headon while both cars were moving in the same direction, police said. Clinton A. Venable, head of the highway department's traffic division, said the department needs a "good year" to determine the barricade's true effectiveness in reducing accidents.

It turns out he was sold into two years servitude to pay for passage to America from his native Germany and was cook for his soldier-master, Gen. George Washington. So the newly carved headstone is to be erected over Clemmons' grave in a ceremony in the Lake Park Cemetery in Youngstown, Ohio, later this month or in early February. He died in 1834.
