APWIrephoto $1 BILLION LOSS ON STUDENT LOANS TOLD House Unit Cites Balk on Data From Times Wirt Services WASHINGTON The House intelligence committee today approved three contempt of Congress resolutions against Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger for refusing to com- ply with congressional subpoenas. After the vote, a State Department spokesman said Kissinger withheld the documents on President Ford's orders. "The secretary had no discre- tion in this matter," said spokesman Robert Anderson.

'The President instructed the sec- retary to decline to comply with the -committee's subpoena on the basis of the President's assertion of executive privilege," said Anderson. "It" is an issue between the committee and the White House." The resolutions, presented by Rep. Ronald V. Dellums (D-Calif.) and directed to the full House for a vote, cited Kissinger for "contumacious conduct." Kissinger was cited in his dual roles as secretary of state and presidential adviser on national security. Ten of the 12 panel members voted in favor of the contempt resolutions.

Specifically, the three resolutions cite Kissinger for: Failing and refusing to produce documents relating to State Department recommendations for covert intelligence activities abroad to the National Security Council and the President. Not complying with the request for records of all decisions by the 40 Committee and other committees pertaining to covert actions since Jan. 20, 1965. Failing to furnish all documents given to the National Security Council relating to Soviet adherence to the provisions of the 1972 strategic arms limitation agreement and the Vladivostok agreement of 1974. Chairman Otis G.

Pike said he would ask the full House to approve the contempt citations next month. If approved by the House, the citations would be turned over to a U.S. attorney for prosecution. Conviction on a contempt citation carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The action marked the second time this week a congressional panel has voted to cite a Ford Administration cabinet officer for contempt.

On Tuesday, the House interstate and foreign commerce subcommittee voted to cite Commerce Secretary. Rogers C. B. Morton for refusing to turn over names of companies the Arabs have asked to participate in a boycott against Israel. That citation will go to the Commerce Committee for consideration.

A resolution proposed by Rep. Robert W. Kasten Jr. (R-Wis.) that would have had the full House simply direct Kissinger to turn over the subpoenaed documents rather than cite him for contempt was rejected 9 to 2. The intelligence committee's senior Republican, Rep.

Robert McClory of Illinois, quoted White House counsel Philip Buchen as saying President Ford intends to cite executive privi- lege in refusing to turn over the doc-' uments. The committee had subpoenaed Kissinger to turn over all State Department requests for covert intelligence operations abroad in one of seven subpoenas issued last week. Chairman Otis G. Pike said that "On this subpoena, we have received nothing. "I for one am weary of this whole business of waiting and delaying, waiting and delaying on the information the committee is entitled to and needs to conduct its business," Pike said.

But McClory said Buchen had told -him that many of the State Department requests for covert operatioiw-had been made directly to previous Presidents and that Ford would therefore cite executive privilege to withhold them. "He assured me the President (involved) had personally approved each of these operations," McClory said. Gen; Franco Survives 3rd Operation Brain Waves Found but Body Functions Only by Machines MADRID (UPI) Gen. Francisco Franco underwent his third emergency surgery in 11 days today halt internal bleeding. He was kept alive by a respirator, a kidney machine and a pacemaker to keep his heart beating, The futility of Franco's struggle 1 was underscored in an afternoon medical bulletin saying machines could detect brain waves showing the brain was still alive but that his body required machines to function.

A respirator is pumping air down a plastic tube into his congested lungs to keep him breathing while a kidney machine cleanses his blood. A defibrillator, a sort of external pacemaker, is strapped to his chest to shock the heart back to normal should it waver. A' pumplike device is hooked up to keep his blood flowing. "The intervention lasted two hours and was acceptably tolerated," a communique said af ter the latest surgery. "The prognosis is the gravest." Franco, 82, entered the seventh major crisis of his 28-day struggle when his stomach stitches broke, pouring' stomach fluid into the abdominal cavity, and internal bleeding began again.

Dr. Manuel Hidalgo Huerta, the surgeon who saved his life in pre- vious operations Nov. 3 and last Friday, raced back to La Paz Hospital from lunch and, assisted by eight other doctors, began work immediately. "The ruptured section was newly stitched," the later bulletin said, "and drainage tubes were inserted in the abdominal cavity." Hospital consultants said the surgical team used about VA pints of transfused blood, bringing the total since the beginning of the crisis to 120 pints enough to replace his normal body content 10 times over. Hidalgo Huerta had removed most of Franco's ulcerated and bleeding stomach exactly a week ago.

It was the stitches from this life-saving effort that gave out. Prime Minister Carlos Arias Navarro and virtually his' entire cabinet were at the hospital for the operation. Franco's wife, Carmen Polo, arrived later. She had spent the day praying at their suburban El Pardo Palace. Franco's 32-man medical team is using everything in its arsenal to keep him going but is under orders from the family to spare him pain.

He has been heavily sedated off and on constantly for the past three days. a Puzzle Yager works as a pipefitter and steamfitter in the construction industry. The" Clay County attorney at Moorhead, Paul Grinnell, said John had been held in the detention center "because of problems he had been having" but declined to elaborate because juvenile matters are not part of the public record.

TV-RADIO. View, Pages 30-32, 31 SENATE OK'S FUND TO DEVELOP F-18 NAVY FIGHTER WASHINGTON UP) The Senate today approved funds for the Navy to begin development of the controversial F-18 lightweight fighter, plane. Nearing final action on a 15-month, $112.6 billion defense appropriation bill, the Senate rejected, 64 to 19, an amendment that would have required the Navy to conduct a new design competition. The selection of McDonnell Doug-, las and Northrop to develop the plane has been protested as unfair by LTV Aerospace because it failed to follow a congressional mandate to buy a' derivative of the F-16 Air Force lightweight fighter. The award was upheld by the General Accounting Office.

The amendment by Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) would have cut $35 million from the $132.8 million in the bill for the F-18, allowing devel-, opmeni work lo continue only on engines for the plane. U.S. Held Likely to Rule on NYC Aid on Weekend WASHINGTON UPI Federal officials indicated today that Washington is likely to make a decision sometime this weekend on a New York City request for up to $2.5 billion in federal help to avert default. Treasury Dep.

Secretary Stephen S. Gardner told reporters after a meeting between federal and local officials that New York has agreed to present additional information in support of its request and that the material will be submitted to Treasury Secretary William E. Simon. "We did not exchange assurances of any kind," Gardner said. But he plainly signified that the federal government has eased its earlier opposition to any federal aid before default.

New York Gov. Hugh Carey, who was present at the meeting, said the federal officials "indicated they thought it was a comprehensive plan, a well made plan." Carey said one reason there were no federal assurances was the absence of Simon, who was in Utah delivering a speech. Gardner's statements came as New York state's own fiscal crunch was eased when the state's Housing Finance Agency (HFA) sold $80 million in notes to state Comptroller Arthur Levitt hours before the agency's default deadline. But a tentative agreement to avert default for the city of Yonkers was reported to have fallen through. Levitt announced that he had purchased the notes with money from a variety of special state funds.

That money, coupled with loans from banks, the state university endowment fund and state tax commission funds, gave the HFA the cash it needed to meet $170 million in obligations due this afternoon. But state Budget Director Peter Goldmark said that state officials, who thought they had secured an agreement with banks to provide a $15 million loan to Yonkers, learned Thursday night that superiors of the bankers they have been negotiating with have pulled out of the dcaL Goldmark said the state Banking Department would order Yonkers banks to remain open after the normal closing time, while a special legislative session considers a stopgap method of coming up with the $15 million. The banks that refused to lend the money directly to Yonkers to pay off notes due today later agreed to take part in the stopgap plan, Goldmark The banks agreed to give the money to the city if the Legislature approves the plan to use state Insurance Agency funds to repay the banks. Yonkers, the state's fourth largest city and New York City's northern neighbor, has already been promised $10 million in state aid payments to part of the $22 million the city needs today. Stocks Up From Times Wirt Services NEW YORK The stock market bided its time today, drifting slug, gishly as it waited for further word on New York City's financial outlook.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials closed up 2.44 at 853.67. Bew York Stock Exchange volume was about 16.4 million shares com- pared with 25 million Thursday. Complete Tables in Financial Section 8th Wilshire Area Woman Slain in Bed An elderly widow was found strangled today In her Wilshire district apartment, apparently the eighth woman slain by the so-called Wil shire area rapist Homicide investigators said, however, it was not immediately known if the victim, Mrs. Lillian Kramer, 67, had actually been raped by her assailant. An autopsy was to be performed.

Her body was found in Bed by the manager of the apartment house in which she lived, who entered her apartment with a pass key after learning she had not shown up for work during the previous two days. who lived, alone in the apartment, was in semiretirement and worked part time for a Wilshire Blvd. insurance firm. Police Lt. Dan Cooke, spokesman for the police department, said the murder was thought to be the work of the elusive West Side rapist because of "certain points of similarity" which he declined to disclose.

Most of the victims have been at-; tacked in their own apartments. All have been elderly and lived alone or with elderly companions. Tanker Moves to Rescue 29 Men SEATTLE () A British oil tanker fighting 20-foot seas began taking crewmen from a fire-gutted South Korean fishing boat today in the North Pacific 300 miles off the Oregon coast, the Coast Guard said. Fifteen of 29 crew members of the 17-foot trawler Kwang Myung were reported aboard the tanker Anco Templar. Two of them were reported seriously burned- Five others were reported clinging to the trawler's bow, and the remainder were in life rafts, dropped earlier by search aircraft, and were trying to reach the British ship, the Coast Guard said.

The Pusan-based ship and the British tanker were reported nearly due west of Astoria, Ore. The fishing boat's superstructure and engine room were burning, the spokesman said, and there was a danger of capsizing as winds reached 40 knots, i. Weather in the area was expected to worsen, the spokesman Said. U.S. to Trim Thailand Force BANGKOK, Thailand The United States and Thailand announced agreement today to pull out ,5,000 U.S.

servicemen and 70 aircraft from Thai bases by the end of this year as part of a phased withdrawal of American forces scheduled to be by March 20. They also announced that Udorn Air Base in the northeast, where about 3,700 U.S. servicemen and about 70 aircraft are currently stationed, would be closed by Jan. 314 That would leave two air bases Utapao and Korat in use by the American military. At one time the United States used seven Thai air bases for carrying out combat operations in Indochina.

WASHINGTON Mfi The federal-government lost perhaps $1 billion on a program that has guaranteed $8 billion worth of loans to students, congressional investigators say. "This program has been completely mismanage by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare," said Howard J. Feldman, a staff member of the Senate Investigations subcommittee. "The way the program is being run, students are being victimized by lending institutions and the taxpayers are being ripped off," Feldman said. As hearings got under way today, a congressional investigator testified that 96 of jthe claims paid by the federal government in a sampling frqm a program guaranteeing student loans should not have been paid.

In a random sample of 245 claims, 235 "should not have been approved by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare." James D. Martin of the General Accounting Office said. "There is no way to determine exactly how much federal money has or will be lost," Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) said in convening the hearing. Martin said the private institutions that lend money to students are "not as aggressive" in trying to collect on their loan as when they loan money that is not guaranteed by the federal government.

"They have no incentive to collect on the loan. The federal government has guaranteed it," he told the senators. In addition, he told of sloppy management of the program by HEW. In the Chicago regional office "we observed numerous Joan files con-' taining borrowers' promissory notes stored on the office floor, on top of filing cabinets and on window he Data for about 15 of the claims paid by the federal government couldn't be found in HEW files, he said. In the sample of 245 claims, 235 "should have been returned to the lenders either because they had' not met typically acceptable collection procedures or the files did not show if the lenders had taken the required actions," the GAO investigator said.

hadn't intended to kill himself. "He was just experimenting," the father said. "He didn't mean to do it." The Rev. James Winters, pastor of the Congregational church where the Yagers worshipped, said the 7,000 residents of this western Minnesota community will never know for sure what Michael had on his mind. "We'll alwavs ask the question Why did John do it? Why did Mike do the pastor said.

Through their attorney, Donald Hanson, the parents issued a state-. ment demanding "a full investigation and disclosure" of why John had been taken to the detention center and "what happened" there. Police and county officials declined to discuss details. Douglas County -Atty. Thomas Reif said, "The judge has ordered the file sealed." Winters said Mike had been active in the church junior high youth group.

John had been active with the same group until a couple of years ago. The boys' sister, Brenda, 16, sings in the church choir. EXPERIMENT BLAMED Brothers7 Ditto Suicides ALEXANDRIA, Minn. LP) Speculation arose today that a boy hadn't really intended to hang himself, but 'was simply trying to learn something about what his brother experienced in an apparent suicide a day earlier. Michael Yager, 13, was found dead with a belt around his neck Thursday in the basement of rural Alexandria home.

On Wednesday, his brother John, 16, was found hanging by his belt in a shower at a juvenile detention center at Moorhead, Minn. A family friend, who declined use of his name, said Mjchael was a boy -with a great deal of curiosity. "I have a suspicion, just a thought, that the boy was to ience what his brother felt but, he went too far," the friend said. Michael was kneeling on the his belt fastened to a clothes rack. Had he not lost consciousness, he could have stood and loosened the belt noose from around his neck.

His father, Stanley Yager, said he believed Mike had been playing and I ft.
