Extension and increase of Social Security benefits to care for three million persons, who, he said, must now rely at least in part on welfare.

The minimum benefit, now $85 a month, would be increased to $150. Payments to the blind and disabled also would be raised to $150. a briefing for newsmen spelled out how the $4,000 family income guarantee will apply to a household whose breadwinner was employed but earning less than the standard, nor what the floor would be for family units larger or smaller than four persons. Reporters were told that details are being worked out, but that there would be incentives so it would always be to the advantage of the family head to work rather than rely on a welfare payment.

(AP) Specifically ruling out any "election eve tactic," President Nixon declared Tuesday that U.S. bombing and mining of North Vietnam will continue unabated until there is a breakthrough in peace negotiations.

In a news conference shortly after the White House announced he was cutting U.S. troop strength in Vietnam by 12,000 men in the next three months, the President also Fire Destroys Ski Center Building Ford and attached to it. The newest addition was complete except for the roof. Thirty brand new T-bar sticks were lost in the blaze in addition to 10 first aid tobaggans.

He said there would be no coverup and that "we want the air cleared as soon as possible." There have been technical violations by both his own campaign and that of the Democrats in the handling of campaign funds. But he voiced confidence in his campaign's finance chairman Maurice Stans. He seeks a "clear mandate" in the November election and he wants "a new Congress" more responsive to his proposals for "reform that works." He believes that those who deserted the United States or dodged the draft to avoid Vietnam duty "have to pay a penalty before they can obtain amnesty or a pardon." Nixon again refused to comment on past or future negotiations with the North Vietnamese but said the "long and difficult and costly" war has "reached a point where it should be brought to an end." "We have made every reasonable negotiating proposal that we can," he said, adding that the South Vietnamese "by heroic efforts" had blunted the Communist offensive.

"Under these circumstances," he said, "we believe that this is the time for a negotiated settlement." On the Inside The House-passed bill would set the figure at $130 for these two categories. Provisions for disability retirement and for payments to some orphans would be eased under McGovern's plan. Saying that "Richard Nixon ended the wrong war, the war on joblessness, hunger and McGovern contended that his proposals would cut welfare rolls, now 15 million, by 30 per cent by 1975. Neither McGovern in his speech nor his fiscal advisers in vowed that as long as "there is one prisoner of war in Vietnam or one missing in action not accounted for," there will be U.S. forces in Vietnam.

Standing on a red brick sidewalk beneath the hot sun at his oceanside home adjacent to the Western White House, the President fielded questions for 40 minutes on a range of subjects, saying: He is confident no one presently employed at the White House or in his adminis- J.

"That information indicates that these price increases are qualified under Price Commisl sion regulations," the spokesman said. There was no immediate comment from Ford. Ford originally applied for an average increase of $91.52 for new models.

GM had asked for an average boost of $85. Earlier this month, GM dropped its request to $54 and Ford, under some administration pressure to follow suit, reduced its request to an average of $59. been treated with DES during pregnancy. McCartney said the records kept on the women involved in the experiment allows the university to locate many of them and any daughters who might be at risk. He said frequent checkups of the daughters could detect any early symptoms of trouble and the follow-up could help substantiate or disprove the Boston report.

The university sent letters dated Aug. 8, to the women involved in the experiment. f. 'Poring: Maid9 Reported .1 'enied WASHINGTON (AP) The Price Commission Tuesday denied the already-trimmed price increases sought by Ford and General Motors on 1973 models. The commission left open the door to renewed requests from the two auto giants later this fall.

Commission Chairman C. Jackson Grayson, Jr. said the requests were denied because the increases could result in the firms exceeding the profit margin ceiling established by commission regulations. A General Motors spokesman said his firm was aware of the ceiling when it applied for the Mto Eiieniy Territory NEW YORK (AP) George McGovern unveiled a job-oriented welfare reform proposal Tuesday more conventional than the discarded plan to allow $1,000 for each person. But in the same speech in New York's financial district the Democratic presidential candidate proposed a $22 billion set of tax reforms, including an end to the time-hallowed practice of taxing capital gains at a lower rate, than other income.

The McGovern package, unwrapped for the New York Society of Security Analysts, would bear down hard on investment income that now enjoys preferred tax treatment. But, he said, "no American whose income comes from wages and salaries would pay one penny more in federal taxes than he does now." McGovern got a polite, though not tumultuous reception from the investment men and a round of cheers, mingled with some boos, as he boarded his automobile outside. In some respects, McGovern's new welfare plan, still not fully developed, resembles a more extensive version of President Nixon's family assistance proposal. This was passed in modified form last year by the house, but subsequently has languished in the Senate Finance Committee. McGovern's family, income standard would be $4,000 for four persons.

The House-passed-bill would set it at $2,400. But, declaring that "jobs are the cornerstone of my policy," McGovern also proposed: The $10 billion federal investment in private industry contracts he has already called Prison For Pair BUFFALO (AP) Two teenagers convicted of murder in the shooting of a taxicab driver last fall were sentenced Tuesday to serve from 15 years to life in prison. Eugene Anderson, 18, and Timothy Ward, 16, both of Buffalo, were convicted Aug. 2 by Justice Gilbert H. King of State Supreme Court at a non-jury trial.

King also found them guilty of attempted first-degree robbery and unlawful possession of a weapon for which they drew concurrent terms of up to 10 years. Anderson and Ward were accused of shooting Martin Grant, 33, as he was making a telephone call from a street both Nov. 19. A sawed-off shotgun and a rifle were found near Grant. The maximum punishment for murder is 25 years to life.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dominic S. Rinaldi dismissed Celler's petition. He said Celler had "failed to establish that the irregularities proven by him in this proceeding were of such a nature so as to establish the probability that the result of this primary election would be changed by a shift In or an invalidation of the votes claimed as irregularities." Rinaldi also ruled that Celler's effort to throw out the primary results on constitutional grounds were "without merit." Miss Holtzman's victory by a narrow margin in a contest involving 35,000 votes was considered a major upset. Terms destroyed. No estimate of the loss has been made.

The ski center, which accommodates between 500 to 800 skiers a day during the winter, is owned by the Ski Hickory Hill Corp. A special meeting of the board of directors and the planning commission will be held tonight to discuss the future of the center. Navy spokesmen said they knew of no special reason for the attack by two cruisers and two destroyers except that they hit valid military targets. Observers interpreted it as a show of strength. Holloway congratulated the ships, saying they proved the fleet could apply pressure when and where it chose, There were no American casualties in the raid, the Navy said.

A spokesman reported the ships did not penetrate the American minefields. In South Vietnam, the battle for the Que Son Valley in the north focused on a scrub-covered 300-foot hill commanding the east approach to the district town of Que Son. Boulder Hill, so named for its crowning row of giant rocks, changed hands twice in 24 hours of bloody fighting. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported. Capture of the hill enabled the government forces to remove their wounded from Que Son, lMs miles to the west, on tanks and armored personnel carriers.

In a report prepared for presentation later this week at the International Transfusion Congress sponsored by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), Dr. Chambers said: "The.

system now being used in hospitals requires elaborate checks and balances to prevent errors in mislabeling or misreading for transfusions. "Our new system will simplify this and reduce the margin of error while also cutting down the tremendous manpower work load." Here's how the new system works: It starts with the identification wrist bracelet given each hospital patient at admission with his individual number on it When a blood sample is drawn, a battery-operated, mobile unit-called the "bedside encoder" is pushed to the bed where it reads the number on the wrist band and then writes that number on the tube containing the patient's blood sample. The writing is done with a hot electric wire which burns the the tube's heat-sensitive label. hit from the cruiser destroyed one, and the destroyer Rowan set the other afire. A Navy plane finished off the torpedo boat.

The action occurred Sunday. The other warships were the guided missile cruiser Providence and the destroyer Rob-ison. The four ships shelled a fuel depot two miles southwest of Haiphong, a barracks 11 miles to the southeast, and coastal defenses which alarm if a mismatch of blood is imminent just before the transfusion procedure. The hospital's announcement described it as a "streamlined identification system to save lives by preventing clerical mistakes, the most common fatal errors which occur in blood transfusions." The development was receive the clothing in September, it said. The clothing issue, promised early this year to the inmates, was a point of contention at Attica last month during a demonstration by about 900 inmates.

Attica Superintendent Ernest Montanye said Tuesday, "I don't recall seeing any grey around here today," a refer-, ence to the old uniforms worn for years by inmates. "Some of them have even asked to take them home with them" after their terms are up or when parole is granted, Montanye said. Celler Loses Bid in Court Housing Given 17,382 Families New Uniforms For Prisoners CHICAGO (AP) A search is under way for 840 women who were unknowingly treated during pregnancy 20 years ago with a hormone that recently was associated with cancer. The women received the hormone, diethystilbestrol, also called DES or stilbestrol, while patients at the University of Chicago Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from Sept. 28, 1950 through Nov.

20, 1952. Three Boston researchers reported In 1971 "a highly significant association" between DES and vaginal cancer among seven girls whose mothers took the drug during their pregnancies. One girl died. Dr. Charles McCartney, who participated in the 1950 experiment, said its purpose was to determine whether DES was helpful, as believed then, in preventing complications during pregnancy.

He said the tests results proved negative. The group of women who participated in the clinical study numbered 1,646. Of these, 840 were given DES. The others received placebos tablets containing no drugs. The report linking the drug to cancer was contained in the New England Journal of Medicine, April 22, 1971.

Drs. Arthur Herbst, Howard Ulfelder and David Poskanzer, working at Vincent Memorial Hospital in Boston, investigated seven cases of vaginal cancer between 19G6 and 1969. The patients' ages ranged from 15 to 22, which was considered rare. In each case, they found, the mother had housed 12,358 families of the more than 21,000 approved applicants," he said. "In Wilkes-Barre alone, where the devas- tation was the greatest, we have provided 8,306 units for the more than 15,000 approved applicants.

"In the southern tier of New York State, where we have about 5,500 approved applicants, we have housed 4,103 families," he said. Romney said the housing mission in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida, where there also was storm damage, has been virtually completed. WASHINGTON (AP) -Temporary housing has been provided for 17,382 families made homeless, by tropical storm Agnes, Secretary George Romney said Tuesday. The secretary of housing and urban development pointed out in a statement that this had been done in nine weeks while it took six months to provide about 5,000 units following Hurricane Camille. "In other words, in about one-third the time we have done three times as much," Romney said.

O'Never before have homeless families been rehoused as rapidly as in the case of tropical storm Agnes. "In Pennsylvania, we have NEW YORK (AP) The bid by Rep.
