troop withdrawal from Vietnam within 24 hours, it was learned Tuesday. Administration officials disclosed that Nixon was preparing to reveal Wednesday the size of another reduction in the American military force level is Vietnam beyond the the 000 men on hand by Sunday. The President was said to be thinking in terms of maintaining a residue troop strength of 30,000 in Vietnam until an internationally supervised cease-fire is attained and the prisoners of war are released by Hanoi. American troop strength in South Vietnam was reduced by 6,100 to 54,000 last week.

Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, has been in Reykjavik preparing for the match since June 21.

Typhoon Ora Damage Great MANILA (UPI) Typhoon Ora caused an estimated $5 million damage, left at least 25,700 families homeless and took a toll of lives that may pass 100 when the count is complete, officials said Tuesday. Combined reports of the Philippine Constabulary (national police) put the number of dead at 69 Tuesday but the total was expected to climb higher when communications were fully restored. Seventy-nine persons still were missing in six boat accidents. Ora struck the Philippines Sunday, cutting a deadly swath through central and southern Luzon, eastern Visayas and the Bicol region. The storm destroyed more than 24,000 homes, flooded whole cities and villages and tossed boats from Manila Bay ashore.

The Cross launched relief operations in 19 provinces. Camarines Sur in the Bicol region had 17 dead, the highest toll reported Tuesday. ABC Sets Roosevelt TV Series HOLLYWOOD (AP)-ABC said Tuesday it had acquired the rights to the book "Eleanor and Franklin" and would present the story of the Roosevelts as a limited television series. Martin Starger, vice president of programs, said David Susskind would produce a sixto-eight-hour version of Joseph Lash's Pulitzer prize-winning biography of the four-term President and his wife. Production of the series, which has not been cast, will begin this winter in Hyde Park, N.Y.; Campobello, Maine and Washington, D.C.

ABC also announced it would film the national theatre version of Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey into Night" at the Old Vic Theatre in London this winter for presentation late next season.

Democrats Vote Seating To Entire Ala.

Delegation WASHINGTON (AP) The Credentials Committee of the Democratic National Convention voted 69 to 55 late Tuesday to seat Alabama's 37- member delegation, including 22 pledged to that state's Gov. George C. Wallace. At the same time, the 150- member panel received a report from a hearing officer, which held strongly in favor of challengers trying to unseat Mayor Richard Daley and 58 other uncommitted delegates from Chicago. In another major development, another hearing examiner issued findings which appeared to support frontrunning Sen.

George McGovern's claim to all 271 California delegates. The Illinois and California cases were to be taken up by the full committee later in the week. The vote to seat Alabama's regular delegation--which was challenged by a predominantly black faction--is almost certain to be disputed on the floor of the convention in Miami Beach. The delegation was accused by challengers of having i in- Under The Dome Continued from Page 1 for the general election in November.

Gen.

Robert Morgan missed the first meeting of the state's new "Executive Cabinet" on Monday because he is in Lake Tahoe, attending a convention of chief state legal officers. SHERIFFS That some members of the new Cabinet don't yet consider it the most important thing in their schedule was quickly indicated at the first meeting when Gov. Bob Scott tried to set a date for the second meeting. The date he suggested brought a one-word rumble from Secretary of State Thad Eure. Intoned Eure: "sheriffs." He meant that the N.

C. Sheriffs Association would be meeting on the suggested date. And Eure isn't about to miss the politically important gathering of lawmen. The date for the Cabinet meeting was left open for negotiations. adequate representation of women and minorities and improprieties leading to the delegate primary last May.

In another delegate fight, the convention's credentials Committee Tuesday rejected by a vote of 70 to 56 a move to realign the South Carolina delegation on grounds it contains too few women. Meanwhile, the Democratic Platform Committee Tuesday agreed to allow 20 rejected minority dissenting planks to be laid before the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach. The action assured that many of the disputed issues supposedly resolved in the committee's 18-hour Monday session-including racial busing, rights of homosexuals, abortion, tax reform, and Vietnam -would be reargued on the convention floor. In a conciliatory move toward the forces of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, the 150 tired committeemen agreed to accept as a single dissenting report a bundle of eight major changes which Wallace's delegates had tried unsuccessfully to squeeze into the platform draft only 12 hours before.

The Wallace camp served notice it planned to fight hard to back up its dissenting views. In Montgomery, Wallace's campaign manager termed the draft platform adopted at 3:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday "a suicide note for November." Charles S. Snider said Wallace delegates would try to rewrite it on the floor. If they fail, the campaign chief predicted, the party "will suffer the worst defeat in history" in the November elections.

The platform committee's rules required only the assent of one-tenth of those present and voting to accept any dissenting report. But at least half the delegates raised hands in support of the motion by Fred Folsom of Alabama, leader of the Wallace backers in the committee, for presentation of the Wallace bundle to the convention. In the Chicago challenge, hearing examiner Cecil F. Poole found that Daley and 58 other delegates from Chicago were slated in violation of party reform rules on "procedures, notice, openness and timeliness." Poole, in his report, made no recommendation for action to be taken against the Chicago delegation. The full committee is expected to take up the case Friday and decide how many, if any, of Daley's delegate seats should be awarded to the insurgents, two-thirds of whom support front-running Sen.

George S. McGovern. Acknowledging the sensitivity of any challenge to Daley, McGovern campaign director Frank Mankiewicz said he will seek compromise on the issue. He said it is doubtful any Democratic presidential candidate could carry Illinois without Daley's support. The South Carolina vote, turning aside a move to add nine women to the seven already seated in the 32-member delegation, indicated the Credentials Committee will be flexible in applying party reform rules.

House Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 In the House, the opposition was led by five Democratic members on the Armed services committee Reps. Otto G.

Pike of New York, Lucien N. Nedzi of Michigan, Michael Harrington Massashusetts, Les Aspin of Wisconsin and Robert L. Leggett of California. Partly in reaction to the administration's moves linking the strategic spending program with the arms control agreements reached with the Russians, the Senate leadership scheduled action on those accords before consideration of the military procurement bill. The accords are a treaty establishing a ceiling of 200 launchers for each side's defensive missile system and a five-year interim agreement freezing land-based and submarine-based intercontinental missiles at the level now in operation or under construction.

The Senate Armed Services Committee, which is working on military procurement legislation, is not expected to make any significant cut in the outlay for strategic weapons. The mood of the House was indicated at the outset when a Leggett amendment to delete $350 million for the Safeguard antiballistic missile (ABM) program was defeated by a vote of 258 to 116. By 261 to 129, the House also rejected a Pike amendment. that! could have sustained the He has filed a "letter of intent" to challenge the delegation, but the committee has not received a detailed challenge. Church said there was "nothing in the rules" to support the Brown challenge.

"This is not part of the issue as far as the ground rules of the credentials Okays Arms congressional action of last year rejecting authority for a missile site around Washington. Both the B1 and Trident programs were proposed in the original defense budget in January. They have received added emphasis from the administration since the arms agreements were reached last month. The House also rejected by a voice vote a Harrington amendment to delete $110 million for strategic programs requested by the administration after the agreements.

Church said that Brown never presented his proposed Wallace slate, although the floor (of the state convention) was open so everybody had a chance to be heard." Said Church: "The complaints never came in until the state convention in regard to Wallace, and in regard to youth, not until the state convention was over." Church said that "in the end I think we will come as close as anybody in meeting the Funds Although the House has always supported presidents on Vietnam, doves suffered somewhat of a setback Tuesday. The 152 votes they mustered fell short of their 238 to 163 loss last year on an amendment that would have cut off all funds for U. S. combat activities in Indochina after June 1, 1972.
