Cool Trend Grips U.S. By fHfc ASSOCIATED Cool weather hovered over triost of the nation today with frost warnings in effect In several states bordering the Great Lakes. Exceptions to the cooling trent were Florida and the arrid, wind swept Southwest. Hot, gusting winds near Los Angeles continued to feed a giant brush fire which already has blackened more than 150.000 acres, forced 50,000 persons to flee and claimed at least three lives. Tropical storm Greta, reporting winds of about 35 miles per hour, moved away from the Gulf Coast early today after greatly reducing in intensity Sunday without causing significant damage.

The sudden coolness which centered on the western Great Lakes and upper Plains also brought relief to the Eastern Seaboard, where an unseasonable warm spell caused power shortages last week in New York- Washington and other cities. Frost warnings were posed early today in Wisconsin, central and southern Minnesota. Michigan, northern Illinois and South Dakota. BROWMWOCD BULLETIN Sunday, Sept. 27, 1970 DEATHS and FUNERALS Unrest At A Glance WASHINGTON (AP) Here at a glance are major findings by the Presidential Commission en Campus Unrest released Saturday: The first step In preventing future campus violence and creating an understanding rests squarely with the President of the United Stales.

Thfe President must seek to convince public officials and protesters alike that divisive and Insulting rhetoric is dangerous. "In the current political cam- palp and through the years ahead, the President should insist that no one play irresponsible 'politics with the issue of unrest." The federal government should review its current policies to assure nothing threatens 'the independence or quality of education. Nothing is more important than an end to the war in Students must avoid violence and recognize their respdnsibllf- ties as citiiens of a nation founded on tolerance and diversity. Those students insisting on violence must be quickly expelled and prosecuted. 0.

Tuesday at Davis- rtl tl 4 v-1 WASHINGTON (AP) dent Nixon's plan for a giferan teed annual income for tion's poor is nearing a crucial Senate test with the administration unable to count On the strong Republican support necessary to win. The Senate Finance Committee starts executive hearings Tuesday into Nixon's welfare reform program, including the guaranteed income plan, and a related Social Security meas- I ure. Both have passed the House. The administration needs at least nine votes among the 10 Democrats and seven Republicans on the committee to clear the legislation for Senate de- ibate. However, a key Democratic source, who asked hot to be named, said there are not enough votes among committee members of his party to get the bill to the floor.

"The President is going to have to get some more help from the Republicans," he said. But, administration strafe- gists admit they are confident only of the vote of Sen. Wallace Bennett, R-Utah, but hope to pick up more support in the closed committee sessions. The guaranteed income provision that is sparking the GOP reluctance downright opposi- i Uon in some cases is formally known as the Family Assistance Plan, or FAP. It would- for examnle.

The resolution against the two Democrats was tantamount to an endorsement of their Republican opponents, gubernatorial candidate Paul Eggers and Rep. George Bush, a GOP Senate candidate. Rep. Carlos Truan of Corpus Christi led opposition to the resolution but was defeated by a 94-4 margin.

On a narrow 50-45 vote, PASO voted to strike a section of the general resolution which called for endorsement of Republican Ed Yturri who Opposes Atty, Gen. Crawford Martin on the November ballot. A PASO spokesman said the group didn't want to single Yturri for endorsement but the organization did condemn 'Martin in a resolution. Martin was criticized for failure to enforce Texas law, failure to keep an equal standard ofi justice in South Texas and other claims by PASO.
