It virtually assures another congressional debt fight prior to Oct. 31, keeping open options of tax reforms in the meantime.

The house' shouted down amendments to cut 5700 million from the Presidents 5977-million Trident request, all 5140 million for tightening Safeguard antimissile radars and the full fllO-million increase Nixon asked for some other elements of the Safeguard program.

The White House has denied reports that U.S. bombing has struck such targets. In voting Tuesday, amendments to cut 51.7 billion from weapons projects including the Trident missile submarine, B-l bomber and Safeguard anti-missile site for Washington were defeated. The house then voted 334 to 59 to approve and send to the senate tiie 521.3-billion authoriza tion for tanks, missiles, ships, planes and other weapons for the fiscal year starting July 1. Opponents contended that the Presidents accelerated Trident and B-l development requests could undermine the U.S.-Soviet strategic-arms-limitation agreement and destroy the Confidence of taxpayers who expected bigger weapons cuts because of the accords.

Other Presidents (and vice-presidents) had sat for similar sessions, but none, not even John Kennedy, who initiated these hour-long prime-time had done them bn a live Previously they were taped and, if necessary, edited. Nixon, however, went live coast-to-coast and carried it off.

The Nixon family, meanwhile, has carried off television broadcasts designed to have a positive effect cm viewers. The Presidents wife has been interviewed, Daughter Tricia was hostess of a charming White House tour Jor video. And the President himself was the focus of an hour documentary that showed him going through the activities of a supposedly typical working day and depicted him flatteringly as an administrator and family man. If the Kennedys, high-powered, were an effective video force as a family unit, the Nixons, from a more middle class background, are making their home screen mark less flamboyantly. Nixon, of course, reached his television peak with his trips this year to China $nd Russia, both events getting heavy network exposure.

In an election year, televiewers saw him in these major diplomatic confrontations while his political foes back home fought for nominaj tions. In May, for instance, on the same day as videos first so-called debate between Sens. George S. McGovern and Hubert H. Humphrey, vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, Nixon was seen via satellite from Moscow as he addressed the Russian people on television.

The Humphrey-McGovem session was a good news story, but it had to take second place to Nixons speech, That is the television dilemma of Nixons opponents in election year 1972. How to achieve home screen one-upmanship over the man in the White House. Almost all politicians follow the same general home screen practices. Republican or Democrat for instance they use staged film commercials and one-sided interview shows with blends to help sell themselves. And to pragmatic office-seekers the things that really mattered about Nixon and te-levsion were that he won and how he did it.

That was four years ago, and since then the President has continued to hone his video technique into a sharper working tool as well as a political and psychological weap-on. He has been criticized for not holding enough news conferences. But when be does have one, even his foes would not deny his off-the-cuff control and ease on the home medium. He might be vulnerable to a television natural if the Demo-srats came up with one. But, meantime, his debating background, familiarity to viewers and years of association with the White House combine with his loffy position to make him a formidable video figure.

Curiously, Vice president Agnew is probably more of a television natural than Nixon. 0 programs like David Frosts, Agnew revealed the kind of comfort before the cameras that evaded Nixon for years. Nixon, by contrast, registers on screen as the perservering plugger, the man who took years but finally learned all the ropes. And to his admirers, the plugger image may well seem part of the old-fashioned American way. In any event, in their separate approaches and impact, Nixon and Agnew have probably used television more provocatively as a team than any Westmoreland Gets Third Oak Cluster WASHINGTON (AP) Gen.

Wiliam C. Westmoreland, retiring as U.S. army chief of staff after four years, has received a third oak leaf cluster to his Distinguished Service Medal for long and distinguished service, covering three wars and more than 36 years of devoted duty. In presenting the award Monday, President Nixon said-that as the Vietnam war wound down, the nation.had to have a strong man, a decent man, a good man as chief of staff. You were the right man in the right job at the right time.

vantageous employment of the home medium. Yet little more than a decade ago it -might have required a 'crystal ball" to believe that television would some day be an important ally to Richard M. Nixon. He had been defeated in the 1960 presidential election by John F. Kennedy, and many still believe their video debates helped beat him.

On debating points alone, Nixon fared well. But his television command and appearance were not what they are today, and against a glamorous figure like Kennedy these drawbacks may well have hurt Nixons political comeback showed televiewers two things about him, among others: His stick-to-itiveness and his new grasp of video. These two assets were to become the cornerstones of the low-keyed but effective television offense developed 'by Nixon with the shrewd guidance of his media advisors. Much has. been written, some favorable and some not, about Nixons video campaigning in 1968, when he was elected President Interestingly, though, most of his political foes did not persist in criticism of his television devices, and for a logical reason: licensed plumber who is, familiar with the dangers of such an operation, the spokesman said.

Westmoreland Honors His Former Brigade FT. CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) -Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the retiring army chief of staff, has presented a Presidential Unit Citation to a unit which he formerly commanded.

Westmoreland, who will step down as chief of staff Friday, ending 33 years of military service, presented the citation to the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, tiie highest honor presented to a.unit by the nation. During the ceremony Tuesday Westmoreland praised the unit for its extraordinary heroism in action against tiie enemy in Vietnam. Westmoreland, tiie' former commander ofjall U.S. forces in South Vietnam, also was commander of the 101st and of Ft. Campbell from April 1958 to June 1960.

The Cedar Rapids water department has issued a warning concerning the removal of scale from hot water systems. A spokesman for the department-told The Gazette the department has been informed that an out-of-town opeartor has approached local apartment-house managers and owners with a process of removing scale from the hot water systems. This process, the spokesman said, involves the nse of an acid which is re-circulated by means of a pomp. If proper precautions are token, this method should be effective, the department said. However, there are certain dangers inherent in its use.

In one case, the water department received a call from an individual liying where this acid treatment was carried out. A sample of water, from the cold water tap, proved to not only be quite acid, but contained a lethal amount of copper, dissolved from the copper pipes.

Tel evisi nj-istin gs Marijuana To Voters in California By Doug Willis SACRAMENTO (AP) California voters will decide in November whether to legalize within the state the private use of marijuana by adults. The order Tuesday putting the issue on the ballot sparked pre-dictions from backers of the iqeasure that they will turn out hundreds of thousands of young voters and shake up the states political power structure.

Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown, said a voter initiative to legalize the private use in California of marijuana by persons 18 and older had enough voter signatures to be placed on the Nov. 7 general election ballot. Brown said an unofficial canvass of returns from Californias 58 counties foiind the marijuana petitions have the signatures hf 338,187 voters. He told county clerks they could stop counting, these signatures and concentrate on petitions for five other voter initiatives seeking places on the ballot San Francisco Attorney Bob Ashford, who headed the drive to put marijuana on the ballot, said his campaign crew which be said numbers more than 10,000 volunteers will now launch a campaign to register yoqng Ashford- predicted his campaign will have a big impact on other elections in the state, from the presidential race throughicongressional and state legislative contests.

There (are 2.6 million unregistered persons between ages 18 and 21 We can sign up a significant niimber of voters, young and. old, who have stopped voting because it isnt relevant to them, he added. California now has' 9.1 million registered voters, with Democrats outnumbering Republicans by 1.7 million, a 3-2 ratio. Among young voters that ratio is 4-1 Democratic. sTheir vote will be felf, not only on the initiative, but on other candidates, too, Ashford Said.

I think the impact would be electing legislators who are more honest and responsive to the people. I think the flood of initiatives for November is evidence the legislature is not doing its job. spokesman for Republican GovJ Ronald Reagan, who has opposed" the marijuana campaign, said the governor would not comment on the ip i fcVOC-TV, Davenport 8 WKBT, La Crass 10 KROC-TV, Rochester 13 WHO-TY, Das Moines 40 (DUB, Dubuqu 9 KCRG-TV, Cotiar Rapid. 2 WMT-TV, Cedar Rapids 7 KWWL-TV, Waterloo 12 KIIN-TV, Iowa City 3 KTVO, Ottumwa 4 WHBtj-TY, Rock Island Wednesday Night 6:00 Haiti Sols.

YORK (AP) Angela Davis scheduled appearance on the late-night Dick Cavett show has been canceled, a spokesman for the American Broadcasting Co. show said Tuesday. The black militant acquitted in murder, kidnaping and conspiracy charges stemming from the 1970 shootout at a California courthouse, was to have appeared this week. But ABC officials in the-networks standards and practices department insisted the show be balanced, the Cavett spokesman said. They insisted that (me of two men appear with her on the show: One was Bill Buckley and the other was William Rusher, both of the same publication, the National Review, he said.

Miss Davis objected, saying she considered the appearance of someone else a restrictive precedent in talk shows, of which she would not be a part. 40-Newlywed Game 1:30 Dating Game 2 Guiding Light 7 Doctors 3 Dating Gama 4 Guiding 1 4-Doctors 5 5 Guiding I 10 Doctors 1 40 Dating Gama 2:00 General Hospital 2 Secret Storm 7 Another World 3 General Hospital' 4 Secret Storm 4-Another World .0 Secret Storm 10-Another 13 Another World 40-General Hospital 2:30 -On Ufa To live 2 Edge of Night 7 Peyton Place 3 One Life ToLlve 4Edge of Night 4-Pevton Place Edge of Night 10-Peyton Place 13 Peyton Place 40-One Life To Live 3:00 -Lave, American 2 Mv'fhrw Sons 7 Somerset 3 Love, American Style 4 My Three Sons 4 Somerset ft-My Three Sons 10 Somerset 13 Somerset 40-Love, American Style 3:30 B-Ollllfan's Island. 2 Lucy S-XIrMy Children 4 Dick Van Dyke 4 Cartoons O-Lucy 10-Lassie 13 Floppy 40-Movle 4:00 66 O'clock Edition 6:30 f-Trooe 2 I Dream I Jeennle .7 Dragnet 12 Conservative Viewpoint 3 Porter Wagoner 4 Gllllgan' island 6 Emergency 8 flying Nwi 10-Mouse Factory 13 Dragnet 40-Bill CosbV 7:00 J-MooreSevlt 7 Adam-12 12 Election 72 3 Super 4 MooreDevIs .8 Moore-Oevlsf -ir 7:30 f-CemerBer .7 Mystery Movie 12 Thle Week 3 Comer Bar .4 Mystery Movie 10 Mystery Movie 13-Mystery Movie 40-Comer Bar 8:00 Marty Feldman Ssgf 3 Marty Feidmen Comedy Machine 4- Medical Center O-Medjcel Center 40 Movie "Cotsecks" 8:30 Comedy Hour 3 Comedy Hour 9:00 2 Mennlx .7 Night Gallery 12 iSeeslon 4 Mennlx 10-Ntght Gallery 13-tWght Gallery 9:30 10:00 Eyewitness Newt 2 Report to Iowa 4 Kuyclodt Edition I-News, wiWTtotl 10:30 Movie Raiders 5-Movl- "Crooke end 4 Movfc- 7-rm. and is" line Show 2 Every Woman 7 Dmen't Place 3 Cartoons .4 Am.
