(AP) The Florida White House announced Saturday the official party for President Nixon's China trip a 13-name blend of trusted advisers, top White House aides and State Department China experts. The officials will head a delegation of more than 300 Americans, including newsmen, technical and security personnel, who will be in China during Nixon's historic Feb. 21-28 visit. In disclosing the official party, White House spokesmen also said Nixon will use the same satellite communications system being set up in China for the news media. But they said back-up systems also will be avail-including a "suitcase satellite" system originally developed for military use.

As announced earlier by Nixon, Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Henry A. Kissinger, presidential assistant for national security affairs, head the list of aides who will accompany the President when he leaves Washington Thursday.

Steps Up Air Attacks In Viet War SAIGON (AP) Allied warplanes hunted Communistled forces Saturday in one of the most intensive bombing campaigns of the Indochina war. In three days, American fighter-bombers flew 356 strikes in South Vietnam, and hundreds more against North Vietnamese supply trails and staging areas in Laos and Cambodia. In ground action, enemy gunners fired 12 to 15 mortar shells into a U.S. base on the outskirts of Da Nang early Sunday, wounding two Americans and damaging nine helicopters, the U.S. Command said.

The target was Camp Viking, headquarters of the 58th Transportation Battalion, which prepares helicopters for withdrawal from Vietnam. The U.S. Command also reported that B52 heavy bombers had flown 13 missions since noon Saturday. Informants said most of the strikes were one-bomber missions. The raids were concentrated in western Kontum and Pleiku provinces in the central highlands, in efforts to break up enemy troop concentrations.

The command issued only one bomb damage assessment-BDA-for the fighter-bomber raids and none for the B52 missions. A communique said five U.S. Air Force jets killed 12 enemy in western Kontum Province in the central highlands Friday and destroyed two bunkers and 35 fighting positions. Asked about the lack of bomb damage reports from other strikes, a U.S. spokesman replied: "We are not sending American ground troops into an area just for the purpose of collecting a BDA." He implied that information was still being compiled by aerial observers, and the U.S.

Command does not want to risk sending soldiers into areas known to have large enemy troop concentrations, where most of the air strikes occur. No results have been issued for recent missions by B52 Page 8-WAR SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1972. 30 Cents Per Copy FRUSTRATED AND DISILLUSIONED Rep. Horn Tells Why He'll Quit By JIM WOODCOCK Frustrated and disillusioned after 13 months, Harold A. Horn (R-96th) is calling it quits with the Pennsylvania House of Representatives at the end of his first term in office.

He's quitting, but not before leveling a verbal at the legislative ship of state, its officers, operational procedures and lack of responsiveness. He said there were some officials who were dedicated and conscientious office holders, "but there are others, in both parties, who are dedicated parasites." The freshman representative from Lancaster indicated early this year that he would not stand for re-election. The initial report of his decision intimated that "business pressures" were the reason. Last week, Horn said that was just part of the reason for his quitting. The biggest reason, he said was the House itself.

He charged the House was wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on its own operation and that the leadership of both parties "isn't doing a thing to change "We've given the people of Pennsylvania a lot of words and a big song and dance about how we've saved them money and how we're more efficient. we're not." NEWS Latest Edition Metropolitan News EIGHTH EDITION MRS. PAUL GSCHWEND Lancaster Woman Turns 'Jeopardy' Into Her Charity By JIM RUTH "Jeopardy," one of the highest rated daytime programs on NBC-TV will probably chalk up a record rating here Monday, Feb. 21, when Mrs. Paul Gschwend II, of 427 State competes in a challenge of champions.

Lottery HARRISBURG (AP) The architects of Pennsylvania's lottery have set up a payoff system that will reward one of every 10 ticket buyers but for most of them, the "reward" will be only the temporary chance at a $1 million jackpot. Lottery Director Henry H. Kaplan announced Saturday that the weekly prize list will produce 100,270 "winners" for every one million tickets sold.

But only 1,270 of the "winners" will receive cash immediately. The other 99,000 tickets will go into the pool for a special drawing that the lottecommission plans to hold for each batch of 30 million tickets sold. Grand prize from the special drawing would be $1 milPage 8-LOTTERY The Forecast Is All Wet Raincoats and umbrellas will be in order for churchgoers this morning. A steady rain is forecast for the entire day and is expected to taper off sometime tonight. The U.S.

Weather Service says the chance for precipitation today is 100 per cent thanks to a low pressure system moving up the coast. Warm air off the Atlantic is expected to keep temperatures above the freezing mark all day except for some mixed with rain at the outset, the bulk of today's precipitation will be rain according to the weatherman.

Charges of boondoggling, waste and irresponsibility are not uncommon on Capitol Hill, but usually they fly from one side of the political aisle to the other; or they're flung against the various bureaucratic structures in the executive branch. It's considered poor form to criticize the leadership of your own party in public. HITS LEADERSHIP Horn wasn't playing by the rules. He castigated the leadership of both parties, saying, "It's not a Fineman circus, it's not a Lee circus, it's a combination of both. Both parties are responsible for allowing the House to degenerate to this point." He said he believed the House could be much more efficient and responsible to the wishes of the taxpayers.

"It's the responsibility of the leadership of both parties to restore the House to its proper place of respect," he said. Busy Middle Schoolers Their Paper Saves Trees, Money Pays For Seedlings They're saving three ways at Manheim Township's in Middle School. They're saving paper for recycling; trees from the cutting; and money for purchase of new trees. And it's the direct out- in growth of a science course to geared to the basic understanding of their environment, according to Richard Brown, instructor. A three-and-one-half-month program i in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade building unofficial hub of the ecological efforts in the District has netted 20,000 pounds of paper, 160 pulp trees saved from cutting, and an income of $140, $25 of which has been spent for 50 trees now growing the school's science environmental plot.

Brown, a member of the science Department most directly allied with the program's operation, said this week, "The children bring in paper and periodicals for the collection, but we are especially concerned about recycling the Britain Facing Industrial Crisis LONDON (AP) Darkened and semiparalyzed by striking coal miners, Britain faces its gravest industrial and political crisis since the nation's only general strike 46 years a ago. The emergency that has disrupted electric power supplies also threatens the jobs of millions and the recovery of the long-ailing economy. A failure or refusal of the government to promote a swift settlement could imperil Prime Minister Edward Heath's 20-month-old administration. This is because a central aim of the Conservative lead- Representative Harold A. Horn (on a five-show basis) in the history of "Jeopardy." Mrs.

Gschwend, who set a show record in April 1969 by besting 10 competitors to win $8,250, also reached the semifinals of the "Jeopardy" Tournament of Champions in October of that year. This time out, however, Mrs. Gschwend and her fellow contestants will be competing not for themselves but rather on behalf of their pet charities. In Mrs. Gschwend's case, that charity is the English House Fund at Hiram (Ohio) College.

Mrs. Gschwend, who went to New York last Thursday to tape the special program, unintentionally tipped the outcome of that yet-to-be-aired segment by reporting, "I'll probably give most of my bonus prize, a book library, to the Lancaster County Library." A notation in the NBC press release regarding the "Jeopardy" telecast says "The winning contestant will receive a library." Does that mean you were once again the champion, Mrs. Gschwend was asked. "Yes," she admitted, adding that her winnings totalled "about $1,000." Although she wasn't sure if she was allowed to reveal the outcome of a yetto-be-shown quiz show, Mrs. Gschwend noted that no one had told her not to do so.

Besides, she added, the show has a lot going for it in addition to Page 8-JEOPARDY Horn, who operates an insurance agency in Lancaster, is especially riled about the practice of making per diem payments to representatives for attending committee meetings when the House is not in session.

It means that a representative from the western part of the state could pull down an additional $80 for the meeting. "Whether they left Harrisburg or not, they're going to get the travel money because people don't ask. They simply say 'Here sign the so you sign the sheet and they're going to pay you." During the past year, Horn said he has collected for about "six, at the most" of the out of session committee meetings. His mileage allowance amounts to about $7 per authorized trip.

He said that if a person happened to have two meetings scheduled the same day, it was possible they could collect $30 from both meetings. "You just have to sign the sheet, and it doesn't matter whether you stay for the whole meeting, or just long enough to sign up, you're going to get paid," he said. It is possible to have one meeting a week that the representative gets paid for and in some instances two and three, Horn said. A $90 a week bonus and more, he said, for the legislators also would be collecting travel money. "I object to those guys getting travel pay whether they go home or not.

"I also know of committee meeting dates being changed to have them on a day we're not in session, if the session happened to be extended. "Now this is well it's not in good faith, I can say that." Horn said there were some committees that met while the House was in session, "but there are always about a halfdozen committee meetings scheduled when we're out of session. "Let's say eight or ten members attend each meeting. That can add up to a couple of thousand dollars a week. We could save it if we were full time.
