42001, Tuesday, December 15, 1970 Connally Trouble Brews In Spain As Decree Issued In Wake Of Basque Trials By RICHARD EDER New York Times News Service MADRID, Dec. 14 The Spanish government, under dangerous and conflicting political pressures, issued a decree tonight giving the police special powers to arrest and1 hold persons for up to six months without judicial recourse. The decree was adopted at an emergency session of the Cabinet, which was summoned suddenly at the request of. the Minister of, the Interior, Thomas Goni. It suspends for six months Article 18 of the "Fuero de Los Espanoles" a sort of bill of rights which requires that anyone who is arrested must be brought before a judge within 72 hours.

A similar, somewhat broader measure, adopted 10 days ago, applied only to the Basque Province of Guipuz-coa. Since then, at least 200 persons have been detained there. Tonight's measure, which could prove to be a drastic rights "is not to threaten the spiritual, national and social unity of Spain." Generalissimo Francisco Franco was reported to have presided over tonight's Cabinet session. If the most spectacular pressures have come from the liberals and the left, the most dangerous may have come from the right, and above all, from the army. Many army officers, including some top generals, have let it be known in the past weeks that they believed the government was gade will be assigned to help de fend 10,000 square miles around Saigon from infiltrating enemy units, reliable sources said.

The disclosure indicated the United States intends to rely more on air power and mobility than infantry units to protect withdrawing American troops and to help shield South Viet namese defenders from surprise attacks. A U.S. spokesman said GIs billeted or working in the Saigon area were instructed to restrict their travel in the capital to official business because of the five bomb attacks. He said no for mal alert or travel ban was issued. Incendiary devices were thrown at four U.S.

vehicles in the past three days. The attacks were attributed to student un rest over the fatal shootings of a Vietnamese boy and girl by American and South Korean troops in coastal Binh Dinh Province last week. Anti-American agitation is not uncommon in Saigon and some observers believe it will in crease' here and elsewhere as American troop withdrawals continue to scale down the U.S. presence in South Vietnam. The only American injured in the attacks so far was a soldier who suffered minor burns when his jeep was fire bombed Sunday night.

While reliable sources report ed the creation of the provisional air cavalry brigade, the com mand said troop strength of U.S. forces dropped to 343,700 as of last Thursday. That was 6,000 men fewer than the previous week and the lowest level in more than four years. President Nixon has announced that the forces will be trimmed another 60,000 men by May 1. The new air cavalry unit is being given responsibility for the 3rd military region, which shares 231 miles of border with Cambodia and has 137 miles of coastline on the South China Sea.

It is the most critical re gion because it includes Saigon, the capital. The new development also comes on the heels of Nixon's warning that he will use air power over North Vietnam if enemy troops threaten the remaining American forces. The South Vietnamese are changing their tactics to concentrate more on destroying the Viet Cong underground which is still intact in all of the country's 44 provinces. Informants also report that the Communist command's major objective in its winter-spring campaign, launched last month, is to defeat the Saigon government's program to secure and control the countryside. This is called pacification by the military.

"The enemy feels that pacification poses the greatest threat since U.S. forces are pulling out," one informant said. "The Vietnamese government depends on pacification." 10 Cents i 7 i) KYLE TACKETT Kyle Tackett Former FBI Agent, Dies Kyle Tackett, 59, former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the Paducah area, died Saturday night at his home in Frankfort.

Flanked by Kennedy and Connally at a news briefing, Nixon hailed the recruiting of Connally, a longtime friend and politi cal ally of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, as significant to relations between a Re publican President and Democratic Congress. He said it also means it will be possible to present the country's economic programs both at 5 home and 'abroad as bipartisan efforts-bearing neither Republican nor Democratic tags. Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler was unwilling to say whether or when other Cabinet changes might be com ing.

This is the fourth shift in Nixon's Cabinet since the President took office in January 1969. Nixon called Johnson in Texas to inform him of Connally's appointment while Connally and his wife were breakfasting with the President and Mrs. Nixon at the White House Friday morning.

There was widespread resentment of the use of a military court-martial to try the 15 Basques, of whom six face death sentences.
