The United States has lost 71 aircraft to MIG interceptors during the war, according to Command figures.

The principal topic of the conference was Tower's campaign against Democrat Barefoot Sanders. Tower aides issued a three-page release "to set the record straight" on "wild, desperate charges" by Sanders. Tower said his campaign is gaining momentum and that a telephone poll of 600,000 Texas households shows his lead "is substantial." Campaign workers are calling back "undecided voters" and finding they are "breaking three to one in our favor," the senator said. "We feel very good about the election." Some voters, Tower said, plan to mark their ballot for President Nixon but vote for Sanders "to salve their conscience." "But a lot of people who say they have never voted for me before say they plan to this time," the senator said.

There is even a "measurable" number of voters in the Rio Grande Valley predominantly Mexican-Americans who plan to vote for presidential candidate McGovern, but cast their ballot for Tower in the state race, he said. Tower said the number of these votes hasn't been measured, but that it would be large enough to survey. The votes, he said, will come "from Mexican-Americans who feel I have a good record in that area" and from "some who were disappointed in the outcome of the Democratic primary." Tower made these comments in the Monday press conference: -A profile on Tower by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, Tower said, "is the opinion of the man who prepared it." He said the general reaction in Washington to the entire 12-volume set of Nader profiles was "one of great disappointment." -Revenue sharing, Tower said, is only a "stop-gap" measure to provide needed money for state and local governments. Tower said that in the long run he favors the federal government abandoning taxation in some areas to save local money in that manner. -The U.S.- Russian wheat deal this year has affected Oklahoma and Texas wheat farmers adversely, Tower said, "but next year they will benefit." Asked about the possibility of a similar wheat trade with Red China, Tower said China does not produce much the U.S.

would want and that China's credit "would have to be pretty good." -In the three-page release Tower reacted to what he said were Sanders' allegations about the senator's stand on Social Security, vocational education, Senate absenteeism, environmental protection and diseases Texans know I am against cancer, strokes and heart disease U.N. Arms Debate Under Way By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The annual U.N. arms debate opens today with about two thirds of the nations in favor of the world disarmament I conference proposed by the Soviet Union but with the United States and China opposed.

Mexico, the Soviet Union and the United States were the first speakers. The debate in the General Assembly's main political committee is scheduled to last through Nov. 3, but the subject is so complicated some believe it might continue into December. Both France and China in the past have resisted all efforts to involve them in the 10-year-old, 25-nation Geneva disarment committee. Now France has agreed to participate in a preparatory committee for the world conference that the Soviet Union proposed a year ago.

Its Aug. 25 reply in a U.N. poll on the subject suggested the committee consist of the 15 Security Council members, including the Big Five. Though no reply from China has been published, Deputy foriegn Minister Chiao Kuanhus said in general debate Oct. 3 that a world disarmament conference would be an "emptytalk club" and "it is better not to hold it." However, some diplomats remained hopeful that China could be induced to join a preparatory committee for the conference.

Others were doubtful. Interest In Sciences Discussed By MIKE COX Staff Writer U.S. Sen. John Tower said a Capitol press conference Monday he sees "no significant breakthrough" in the Vietnam war negotiations before the Nov. 7 presidential elections.

"My prognosis is subject to change without notice," he added, noting that the situation has been changing quickly in recent weeks. Tower said he believes presidential envoy Henry Kissinger is "trying to determine what the South. Vietnamese government is willing to do to reach some sort of agreement that would lead to a cease fire." The Republican senator said that four years ago the U.S. "jumped the gun" on Saigon in peace efforts and that this time, "we're going to make sure our ducks are lined up straight." He said the hope is that, "When a game plan is devised Panel Slated For Discussion A tri-ethnic panel composed of Velma Roberts, Joe Rubio and Thomas Philpott are scheduled to discuss U.S.. domestic economic policies in the series "Issues for the 70s, the moral-ethical dimensions of public policies."
