The Nixon administration opposes the legislation. The administration favors an alternate proposal which would permit such suits only after the Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruled that the company involved has misrepresented or failed to stand behind warranties or including boosts in income and excise taxes, a value-added levy and postponement of scheduled reductions included in the 1969 Tax Reform Act. But Nixon decided that economic and political considerations both pointed to no pew taxes next year, the sources said. The President may decide to resubmit to Congress a plained.

"You don't want to raise taxes in the middle of a slack economic period." Without a major tax increase, Nixon's budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is almost certain to be out of balance. A deficit, possibly as high as $15 billion, is assured for the current fiscal year which ends June 30. The previous fiscal year, the first of Nixon's term, ended with deficit billion. In an effort to hold spending as close as possible to income, Nixon has ordered his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to keep a tight rein on expenditures.

Edgar Hoover said today his agency has uncovered plans for a militant antiwar group "to kidnap a highly placed government official" and demand the end of U.S. bombings in Southeast Asia as the price for his release. "The name of a White House staff member has been mentioned as a possible victim" of the kidnaping plot, Hoover testified before a Senate appropriations subcommittee.

"The prospects for a new tax proposal for revenue purposes are not very great," a high administration official ex Chinese Envoy at Kremlin MOSCOW (UPI)-The first Communist Chinese ambassador to the Kremlin in four years made his diplomatic debut today and toasted the Soviet propaganda chief in champagne.

Lesechko, other Soviet notables and Yugoslav Ambassador Veljko Micunovic. Until quite recently always denounced as "renegate revisionist" had been the pet avepion of Chinese propaganda.

Riad predicted Israel would re' "le talks shortly before the Feb. 3 cease-fire expiration date and then stall while the United States proposed a ceasefire extension.

Smoke Kills 6 in Fire At Capital WASHINGTON (UPI) -Five children and an elderly woman died early today when fire broke out in their home. The victims were sleeping in the two-story stucco house when the fire started in the basement and spread up the walls to the ground floor, trapping them in their rooms. All six died of smoke inhalation, fire inspectors said. Four other persons managed to escape from their apartments before the semi-detached house filled with smoke. Red Ambush Kills 17 Cambodians PHNOM PENH (UPI)-Viet Cong ambushers killed 17 Camixrfian troops and wounded 50 others today in an attack about 45 miles southwest of Phnom Penh on Highway 4 that ended in hand-to-hand fighting with bayonets.

Communiques from Saigon said no Americans were killed in action in Vietnam in the 48 hours ended at midnight Thursday. It was the second such two-day period without combat deaths in the war zone this month. Lt. Col. Pell Nal of the Cambodian 2nd Military Dis trict headquarters at Kompong Speu said the Viet Cong opened fire with mortars and machine-guns on a truckload of Cambodian troops headed for a six-battalion task force trying to reopen Highway 4.

Help From The Air The attack lasted 2 hours and the Cambodian troops called in gunships and flare-ships to Liuminate the fighting in the predawn darkness. Seven Viet Cong bodies were found after the fighting ended. U.S. military spokesmen said no combat actions had been reported 12 hours after the midnight Thursday death-free period. The Command said there had been eight 24-hour spans this year when no GIs died in ground actions in Vietnam.

Field reports said South Vietnamese troops killed more than 100 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese in scattered fighting Thursday and early today. Three GIs Wounded Three Americans were wounded Thursday when their OH6 observation helicopter was shot down near Pleiku, 222 miles northeast of Saigon. The U.S. Command said 4,131 helicopters have now been destroyed in the war. Two hunters on the north side of Bear Lake had reported hearing an airplane engine, followed by an explosion and a cloud of smoke billowing up through the fog and snow.

The wreck was reached Thurs-day morning. A red scarf hanging in a tree led the party to the scene. The dead were identified as the pilot, Howard Williams; his son Chuck and the son's wife Rhonda; and a Miss Joan West-fall, all of Fresno. Authorities said the plane was apparently lost in the storm and smashed into the mountain Attempt To Stab Pope Fails MANILA (UPI)-A Bolivian artist disguised as a priest tried to stab Pope Paul VI with a foot-long knife today. Aides threw themselves in front of the pontiff, subdued the assailant and the uninjured Pope went ahead with a full day of activities.

The assailant, Benjamin Men-doza Amor, 35, was arrested and police said he would be charged with attempted murder. He was quoted as saying: "I want to eliminate the Pope because he is the symbol of superstition and hypocrisy. I don't believe in ideology or religion." Although the Pope was not hurt, the attack and his extremely heavy schedule took its toll. Tonight, in a speech at the presidential palace, the Pope looked tired and slurred his words. He had been on the go for more than 32 hours with only brief catnaps on the plane from Rome to Manila via Iran and East Pakistan.

The attack came moments after the 73-year-old Pope stepped from his jetliner at Manila International Airport to begin an historic tour of Asian and Pacific lands. The Pone proceeded almost as if the incident had not happened, receiving the cheers of one million persons as he drove to downtown Manila for talks with President Ferdinand E. Marcos one of the heroes of the aborted attack on the Pope. Aides said Marcos, the Pope's private secretary, Msgr. Pas-quale Macchi, and an English missionary bishop, Msgr.

Anthony D. Galvin, played the key roles in keeping the Pope out of harm's way. Macchi threw himself on the assailant and prevented him from reaching the Pope. Marcos parried Mendoza's knife with a karate chop. Galvin, a 51-year-old 200founder, wrestled Mendoza away into the arms of security police who collared him and hustled him off to jail.

Mendoza was cut in the scuffling and some stains of blood splattered the Pope's white robes. Cardinal Stephen Kim of South Korea received a small cut on one arm from Mendoza's knife, a wavy-bladed dagger known as a kris. Witnesses said the Pope was startled but regained his composure quickly and went on with the welcoming ceremony. Speaking 10 hours later at the end of a long and arduous day, the frail Pope called for a more equitable distribution of wealth in the Philippines where 90 per cent of the nation's riches are possessed by 10 per cent oi the population. He made no references a the airport attack.

There were a number of conflicting reports as to exactly what happened. An official Philippine Police report given newsmen said the ettack was made at 9:32 a.m. By a "man dressed in the black robe of a priest." It said he "suddenly approached his holiness with a (Continued on Page 2, Now You Know Ey United Press International In 1941, Congress passed a resolution setting the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day. associated.

Hoover told the senators that the group also plans "to blow up underground electrical conduits and steam pipes serving Washington, D.C., area in order to disrupt the federal government's operations." Hoover did not go into detail in his closed-session testimony, and did not disclose how the FBI had learned of it. But he described it in the present tense, indicating that the group still plans the action. In testimony made public by his office, Hoover said this (Continued on Page 2) today. The Kremlin remains committed to the Arabs, but was said to have drawn a firm line of so-far-no-farther in the Middle East conflict, the sources said. Moscow has been significantly silent lately on the Middle East issue, whereas in the past hardly a day passed without Soviet leaders or Russian media fiercely attacking the Israelis and the United States for supporting the Israelis, the diplomatic informants said.

The comparative restraint was seen as indicative of some new thinking in the Kremlin, though nothing has as yet publicly emerged about Russia's new line of strategy. Diplomatic sources, reflecting closely current Communist thinking on the Middle East situation, indicated strongly that Russia wants to avoid the danger of a possible collision with the United States. Ap parently, some of the Kremlin leaders felt they had gone or been pushed too close to the brink in the Middle East conflict earlier this year. The strong U.S. reaction during the Jordan battle last summer including Syrian intervention and the reported Egyptian cease fire violations have left their mark on Moscow's policymakers, the sources said.

The sources made it clear there was no question of Russia backing away from its firm support of Egypt, military or politically. Guinea Receives Offer of Arms ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (UPI) Algeria and Nigeria offered Guinea arms today and a U.N. mission launched an investigation into conflicting reports on fighting in Conakry.

Supplies Sped Into E. Pakistan DACCA (UPI) U.S., British, French and local relief teams moved supplies into cyclone-ravaged East Pakistan today after praise from President A.M. Yahya Khan and sympathy from Pope Paul VI. President Khan said he is "very pleased" with the joint relief operation despite criticism from some opposition politicians in Pakistan and some of the foreign press. "I am satisfied that all that could be done is being done," he said Thursday after a two-day tour of the area.

"We are doing our damndest to get help to everybody who needs it." American, French and British helicopters were making daily air drops of food and supplies to the stricken coastal areas where more than 150,000 persons died in the Nov. 12 disaster. Some estimates of the death toll run to 500,000. Communist China joined the dozen nations giving relief by sending a shipment of medical supplies, 4 Hurt as craft.

The officials said there were fears of a preemptive strike into Egypt.

In an uncanny coincidence, the three planes were struck down within 36 hours of each other separated by only a few hundred miles.

Hickel, abruptly dismissed by President Nixon from his post as Interior Secretary, has promised to speak out next week on his ouster. Nixon fired the 51-year-old former governor of Alaska Wednesday night in what was described as the most abrupt dismissal of a cabinet officer since April, 1952, when President Harry Truman fired Attorney General J.

Howard McGrath in a dispute over a corruption investigation within the Truman administration. Nixon notified Hickel of his decision in a 25-minute meeting at the White House. Hickel went to the White House believing he was to attend a budget meeting. A spokesman for Nixon said the President took the action because the two men did not have "mutual confidence."

It said the first message was from Navy Cmdr.

The message to Schweitzer's wife, Gwen, and children, Carl and Ann, said: "As Christmas approaches, I am much like Ebenezer Scrooge, envisioning Christma-ses past, Christmas present and Christmases future. But here the resemblance ends, for my thoughts are happy ones. "Christmases past are warm, nostalgic times of my boyhood, with the folks and friends, or our early years together, Gwen, and of our most recent happy Christmases with you boys; pleasing poignant memories.
