A report from Warsaw said three Polish sailors were killed when U.S. bombers hit a Polish cargo ship in Haiphong harbor.

The North Vietnamese radio said the Polish ship Joseph Conrad was hit by U.S. bombers in Haiphong harbor Tuesday morning, damaging the loading cranes on the stern, blasting a big hole in a lifeboat and wounding four crew members.

The Command gave no details on the second night of attacks on the Hanoi- Haiphong region, maintaining one of the densest news blackouts of the war.

Prime items for the negotiators are seizure of large U.S. holdings, her big foreign debt and U.S. blockage of credits to Chile. By U.S. estimates, Chile owes the United States more than $1.7 billion- more than $1.1 billion in U.S.

government loans and over $600 million in the book value of U.S. commercial properties, mainly copper, taken over by the Chilean government. The United States rates refusal to pay for the nationalizing of copper mines as a roadblock to successful debt renegotiation. President Nixon last January said Washington would oppose loans by international banks to any country expropriating U.S. holdings without fair payment.

Nick produced a badge and a search warrant and was joined by several other police officers.

Authorize state water permits WASHINGTON (AP) The Environmental Protection Agency has granted 10 states short-term authority to issue permits for the discharge of wastes into waterways.

While the program will have limited practical application, it marks the beginning of close federal-state cooperation that will carry over into the longrange control program envisioned by the new water pollution control law just passed by Congress. The authority expires next March 18, allowing each state time to process no more than perhaps two dozen permits before the issuing authority reverts to EPA, the general counsel, John R. Quarles, told newsmen Tuesday. The final stage of the program will see all states authorized to operate their own permit programs subject to federal supervision. EPA would have the right to step in if necessary.

The 10 states are California, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon and Washington. The thrust of the program is to control pollution by limiting what can be dumped into waterways through the permits. EPA had been ordered to issue permits under an old law. but was blocked by legal obstacles after receiving 23,000 applications. The new water pollution law clears away some of the obstacles and sets up the new program.

Navy official rips defense pacts WASHINGTON (AP) An outspoken Navy procurement official says losing faith in the free enterprise system after nine years of watching the largest defense contractors.

Gordon Rule says nationalization of key segments of the defense industry may eventually be an answer. Testifying Tuesday at a congressional hearing without the usual printed statement, (he said he feared the Navy clear one if he had written it,) Rule said President Nixon made a mistake in appointing Roy Ash, former head of Litton Industries, the 11th ranking defense contractor, to direct the federal budget. The director of the Navy Material command said former President Dwight Eisenhower would be in his if he could see the way weaponry is purchased now. The military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of nearly two decades ago, Rule said, has given way to a department In a series of rapid-fire accusations about procurement practices Rule testified before the Joint Congressional Economic Committee: If huge shipbuilding contracts for five new helicopter assault ships continues to show insufficient progress by a Feb. 28 deadline, it should be for management of Grumman Aircraft deliberately underbid the competition by $500 million to get the F14 jet fighter contract, then sought a for nearly that much when it began losing money.
