Senate Unit Okays Butz am Ckiiil TT -0 ki A ty 2 Votes -d 0 if Sen. Talmadge a "nay" vote Charges Denied In New Delhi EDITIONS' SUNRISE WASHINGTON in The Senate Agriculture Committee approved by a slender two-vote margin yesterday the nomination of Dr. Earl L.

In voting 8 to 6 to send the nomination to the Senate floor, the committee ordered the 62-year-old Purdue University dean to sell his agribusiness stock.

Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, the Republican national chairman, characterized the opposition Butz as political, but he said he counts up to 30 votes against it as of now. AMONG THOSE voting against Butz in the committee was the chairman, Sen. Herman Talmadge, who said that although he is satisfied Butz intends to live by his pledge last week to help small farmers and raise farm prices, he could not vote for him. THE TALLY included two surprising "nay," votes: those of Sens.

Jack Miller, R-Iowa and B. Everett Jordan, They joined Sens. Milton R. Young, Hubert H. Humphrey, and George McGovern, who had already announced their opposition to Butz.

Voting for the nomination were Sens. Dole, James B. Allen, George D. Aiken, Carl Curtis, James 0. Eastland, Henry Bellmon, Lawton Chiles, and Allen J.

TAMPA, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23 1971 PRICE TEN CENTS FOUR SECTIONS mm fmm 77th YEAR No. 280 Tax Cuts Approved By Senate WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Senate passed a bill last night to revive the economy through $27 billion worth of reductions over the next year in the taxes of every individual taxpayer and most businesses far more than President Nixon sought.

Approval came with some Kepublicans voting no because the Democratic majority tacked onto the bill a provision expected to give their party's presidential candidate a tax fund of $20.4 million in his race against President Nixon next year. THE SENATE MEASURE differs from an earlier House- passed bill and will require a conference of the two houses. The House bill provided tax cuts totaling $15.4 billion over 1971, 1972 and future years. The campaign funds would come through a provision tacked on to the bill by a' 52-47 vote which permits every taxpayer to earmark $1 of his taxes to the election campaign of the presidential nominee of the party of his choice. Republicans said Nixon would spurn the public money and finance his campaign from private contributions.
