Senate committee opposes congressional pay raises By JOHN CHADWICK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Congressional salaries will stay at $42,500, instead of climbing to $52,800, if the Senate heeds the recommendation of one of its committees. But what the Senate will do is far from certain, although some members say pay raise opponents seem likely to prevail.

A law Congress passed in 1967 was designed to let senators and House members receive salary Increases without having to vote for them. Under that law, only action by the Senate or the House can prevent a three-step pay hike of per cent from taking effect March 6. The House apparently isn't going to take any action, just as it didn't in 1969 when congressional salaries were Increased from $30,000 a year to $42.500. But in the Senate a vote is expected later this week or the first of next week, rather than just letting the higher hay- checks be issued automatically under the procedures established in 1967.

Jaworski says office knows W'gate story NEW YORK (AP) Special prosecutor Leon Jaworski says he thinks his office now knows the full story of the Watergate affair, The New York Times said today, Jaworski told The Times in a Washington interview that ma' jor indictments of persons involved in the of the Watergate break-in would come as early as Thursday or Friday, The Times quoted Jaworski as saying that the indictments are being delayed until a jury is sequestered in the New York trial of former Atty.

Gen, John N. Mitchell and former Com' merce Secretary Maurice H. They are being tried on charges of conspiracy, perjury and obstructing justice, Jaworski said in the interview that the full Watergate story would be revealed as in' dictments were handed down and trials begun. But the prose' cutor added the case ha.s not "peaked" and further Closures are expected. The Times said that Jaworski chose not to describe the motives of the participants in the Watergate affair but quoted the SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Canary Islands (AP) Several thousand people in the resort town of Puerto de la Cruz reported seeing a balloon today.

They too would get increases of 7.5 per cent a year for three years under President Nixon's budget. A special salary adjustment commission reqaired by the 1967 law had an immediate 25 pe cent increase. Under the law, Congress has 30 days to do something about the budgeted raises. If neither the Senate nor the House does anything, the higher pay scales take effect.

The Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee voted 6-3 Tuesday in favor of deleting the congressional pay raises but allowing the other federal raises to go into effect. "Postponing the pay increases for Congress until the heat of the forthcoming November elections is off would have been nothing more than a facade of political demagoguery," said Sen. Henry Bellmon, a committee member. But he supported the salary increases for top executive officials and the judiciary.

It is 60 miles south of Masawa.

No violence was reported so far, and Emperor Haile Selassie ordered the army chief of staff to Asmara today to hear the rebels' complaints. Sources said a noncommissioned officer appeared to be In charge of a committee representing the soldiers. Ethiopia's army totals more than 40,000 men, and about a fourth of it is stationed in the Asmara area. The navy includes about 1,700 men, plus about 190 officers and 125 marines, nearly all at Massawa. A government spokesman said there was no question of negotiating with the rebels in northern Ethiopia.

He said the army chief, Lt, Gen. Asafa Ayene, would report back to the 82-year-old emperor and then Jhiebaud to judge Dallas students Frederick L. Thiebaud, professor of music at Howard Payne, will judge advanced students at the Dallas Music Teachers Assn, activities in Richardson Saturday and Sunday, There will be seven judges and over 400 students attending. Mrs, Linda Shirley, president of the Pallas Music Teacjiers is former student of Thiebaud, Thiebaud has been a judge for the National Guild of Piano Teachers 20 years, and is a faculty member the American College of Musicians, He has judged jn Abilene for a number of years end, this year he also judged, in Sj Angelo pr music relay the ruler's decision to the men. The rebels proclaimed loyalty to the emperor in a broadcast Tuesday night from Asmara, the capital of Eritrea province.

But they made 24 economic demands, including a 50 per cent pay raise, increases in pensions and injury benefits and higher field allowances. A government spokesman denied that the rebellion had spread to troops elsewhere in the country. But he admitted that soldiers everywhere shared the rebels' grievances because of the rapidly rising cost of living. "There is no question of a coup or anything like that," the spokesman said. "They were naughty, but they are very loyal boys.

The only problem is that this country Is not rich enough to pay out millions." Second lieutenants and sergeants were reported leading the rebellious enlisted men of the 2nd Division in Asmara. They moved out through the city's palm-lined streets before dawn Tuesday and took over key points in the city of 200,000 without a shot being fired. Some sources said the provincial governor, Debebe Hail- emariam, and the division commander, Gen. Seyoum Gedla- Giorgis, were detained with other high-ranking officers, but other accounts denied this. Asmara was reported tense but quiet under heavy military patrols.

Traffic was near normal, but the civilian airport was closed and roads from the city were blocked. The 800 United States Navy personnel and dependents at Kagnew, an American communications base outside Asmara, were reported in no danger.
