He said that together they would have added nearly $1 billion to his budget recommendations. He said these increases would pose "a threat to every American's pocketbook." With his action vetoing the $4-4 billion education appropriation bill, and an $18 billion measure to run a variety of agencies', including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the space agency and the Veterans Administration, Nixon said he was saying no "to bigger spending and no to higher prices in the interest of all the American people." The President came personally to the White House press room to make his veto statement. In both cases, he said his budget recommendations had been placed at generous levels. In a message to the House, Nixon said his vetoes of the two bills were "painful, but necessary to hold down the rising cost of living." He said "at election time it is tempting for people in politics to say "yes" to every spending bill. "If I were to sign these bills that spend more than we can now afford I would be saying 'yes' to a higher cost of living, yes to higher interest rates, yes to higher taxes." Nixon said he refused to go along with "big spending that is wrong for all the American people" and he vetoed the bills because they would add "an extra billion dollars of pressure on prices." He called on Congress "to reconsider the spending course it has taken, and to place first priority on achieving our goal: a healthy economy, expanding through peacetime activities, with reasonable price stability." Nixon said the Independent Offices Appropriation bill, which includes funds for urban development, exceeded his excessive spending would help cause the kind of huge deficits that drive up interest rates, making it impossible to speed the recovery of the housing industry.

The appropriation for the Of. fice of Education was $453 million over his budget request. Nixon said that what he had asked for would have produced 28 per cent more spending than in the last fiscal year of the pre vious administration. budget request by $541 million. He said he was mindful of the urgent needs of cities and that his original request for urban renewal, water and sewer grants and housing subsidies was double the outlays in the last fiscal year of the previous administration.

He said he vetoed the bill because it would "help drive up the cost of living, harming the people it is most designed to help."

They are SAD 45 (Washburn, Perham and Wade) opening on Monday, and SAD 42 (Man Hill, Blaine and Bridgewater), opening on Tuesday. Most other Aroostook schools will open the following week.

With the exception of Limestone schools and SAD 1 ia Presque Isle, all grades will be in session by the end of the month and will recess for the annual Aroostook County potato harvest. At Limestone, kindergarten through grade 5 in town, and kindergarten through Grade at Loring Air Force Base will not start school until Sept. 9. However, Grades 6 through 13 in town will start classes Aug. 31.

In SAD 1 comprising Presque Isle, Mapleton, WestCeld, Castle Hill, and Chapman, grades 6 through 12 will be in session Aug. 20, and kindergarten through grade 5 will start school Sept. 8. In the cases of SAD 1 and Limestone only the higher grades will be recessed for potato harvest. SAD 45 apparently has the distinction of the earliest school opening date since classes will start Monday.

Teachers of the district will meet Sat. urday. School officials noted Tuesday that an Aug. 31 school board meeting has been scheduled in which farmers have been in-(Continued on Page 3, CoL 1) Bangor Man To Direct Asian Bank HAND-TO-HAND "COMBAT" Cambodian Army recruits practice hand-to-hand combat at the lam Son center, near Nha Trang along South Vietnam's central coast, where five battalions of Cambodians are now receiving training.

Pilots of U.S. observation helicopters reported more Communists moving into the area. North Vietnamese gunners slammed about 20 82mm mortar rounds into O'Reilly Tuesday night, military spokesmen said. No casualties, however, were reported at the base 26 miles west of Hue and 12 miles east of the Laotian border. About one hour before dawn Wednesday, an estimated North Vietnamese company attacked the position of a South Vietnamese company about one half mile from O'Reilly.

There was no word on casualties. Col. Nguyen Van Diem, commander of a South Vietnamese army regiment at O'Reilly, said the fighting around the base near the Laotian border was developing into the biggest battle of the year in the country's northern quarter. In Cambodia, Communist forces were reported building up pressure on the capital city of Phnom Penh. Government officials in the capital quoted intelligence reports in a briefing Tuesday as saying that a base camp for a North Vietnamese division was being set up about 30 miles southeast of Phnom Penh.

Cambodian forces were reported tightening security around the capital. Import Restrictions Indicated Panel Revises Trade Law By EDWIN L. DALE JR. (C) New York Times Newt Serrtc WASHINGTON The House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday approved a major revision of the nation's foreign trade laws, with provisions that will lead to import restric-. tions on shoes, textiles and almost certainly some other products.

The bill, which at an earlier stage led President Nixon to threaten a veto, contains, however, several provisions urgent ly desired by the Nixon administration. Reverses Decision In a major administration victory, the committee reversed an earlier decision and voted to give the President authority to abolish the "American selling price" system of customs valuation which leads to high effective tariff for certain chemicals. This U. S. trade barrier has been of great symbolic importance in international negotiations for many years.

The bill also gives the President, as he asked, modest tariff-cutting authority and provides a new tax incentive for American companies that export. Wilbur D. Mills, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said, "I've never had a bill vetoed and I don't expect this one to be." But he made clear that he meant the bill approved by his committee, not what might emerge from the Senate and WASHINGTON Maine's ranking career official in the Federal Government, Artemus E. Weatherbee of Bangor, ltfas named Tuesday as U.S. director of the billion-dollar Asian Development Bank.

Weatherbee, who is 52, is completing 33 years in federal service, the last 11 as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Administration. He has held that post longer than any man, serving five secretaries and four undersecretaries of both' political parties. The son of Mrs. Ray W. Sherman, 198 Lincoln Bangor, Weatherbee has received every major award for outstanding public service, including the Rockefeller award two years ago.

He has worked for the Farm Credit Administration, the State Department and the Post Office Department, where he was deputy assistant postmaster General during the Eisenhower administration. A life-long Republican, he will be serving in his first appointive political post at bank headquarters in Manila. The U.S. directorship pays $40,000: The Asian bank has 35 members, including 21 countries in the Far East. The U.S.

has a $20 million investment in the bank, which finances economic development in Asia. Weatherbee said he is looking forward to the new challenge and expects to wind up (Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) the ultimate Senate-House conference. The provisions limiting imports of textiles, shoes and potentially other products give a wide degree of discretion to the President or to the tariff commission, or both. Thus the practical impact of the bill on United States trade, and hence world trade, was not possible to forecast.

Clearly Unhappy However, administration officials were clearly unhappy about parts of the bill, in its potential import-limiting provisions. From the beginning, the President, while backing import quotas on textiles, has argued that extensive import restrictions would lead to higher prices for consumers at home and foreign retaliation against exports. On the other hand, those arguing that world trade conditions have changed and that the U.S. now needs some protection against foreign competition say that the import restraints on such items as shoes will not in practice raise prices in any noticeable way.

The Senate traditionally has approved funds for the public power facility on the St. John River but has had to give way to stubborn House opposition in the past three years. Senate sources said the money was added in response to urgent requests by Sens. Margaret Chase Smith, and Edmund S. Muskie, D-Me.

Mrs. Smith is a member of the Public Works Appropriations panel to which Muskie sent a last-minute appeal for the Dickey funds on Monday. Muskie said he was "delighted" with the committee action and promised to go to bat for the Dickey project if a fight should erupt on the Senate floor. The major battle, however, will probably come in a House-Senate Conference Committee. Army engineers, in testimony' given the Senate, said the Dickey project is "well justified economically." They urged that planning be completed and said power would be coming off the line in 1977-78 if construction could begin in 1972.

By AL FRAWLEY Dr. Benjamin Spock, tanned and rested from a month on his yacht in Frenchman Bay, came to Bangor briefly Tuesday and discussed at lunch the increased protest in the United States against the Vietnam War and his participation in the movement. Fresh from a presentation of his anti-war views to about 500 people at the Ellsworth City Hall Monday evening, the pediatrician said his reception in Maine has been "quite heartening." He had not expected such a large crowd in what is norm ally considered a conservative section of Maine, but he said some may have come to see him "out of curiosity." Famous For Book He first became famous for his book "The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care, published in 1946 and since translated into 26 languages. At least 22 million copies have been sold throughout the world. Spock became famous for hit anti-war views after he was arrested with three others, i.
