After November Elections Liberal Democrats Expect Control of House Caucus WASHINGTON (AP) Despite polls forecasting dim prospects for the Democrats in the presidential election, liberal House Democrats see a good chance for increasing their strength in the next Congress. An unusual number of retirements and primary election defeats have left gaping vacancies in the Democratic ranks, most of them among senior and conservative members. Although a lot will depend on who is elected to fill the vacancies, the liberals see a strong possibility that they will wind up in control of the House Democratic Caucus.

With that as their goal, they are fashioning a number of reform proposals dealing with seniority, committee secrecy and the powers of the party leadership for possible action by the caucus next January. The showing made by George McGovern in his race against President Nixon is important, but not crucial, to their hopes, say the liberal strategists. Most of the same polls that show McGovern far behind also show' the Democrats are likely to retain control of the House. The Democrats now have a 254-to-177 edge over the Republicans with four seats vacant. Campaign officials for both parties expect the Republicans to gain, but even the most optimistic among the GOP professionals place the pickup at ifewer than 30 seats, with 218 seats needed for control.

The liberals say their great opportunity lies in the changed makeup of the Democratic majority that retirements, resignations to run for other office, and primary defeats make inevitable Six committee chairmen, the strongest forces against change in House 21 other Democrats considered more likely to resist are among the departees, as against six reform-minded members. Twenty-six Republicans are also leaving. assuring a significant turnover in the House at large. The reforms being worked on by the liberals are relatively modest. There are no plans to abolish the seniority system, throw out Speaker Carl Albert or make committee chairmen powerless.

The proposals have as their general aim strengthening of the organization of all House order to make the committees and their chairmen more responsive to party policies. Consideration is also being given to means of increasing the power of the speaker for the same purpose. Navy Lt. Mark L.

This was no exception. when you take into account the standard of living in the country in which we were confined and examine the conditions, you'd have to say we were treated very well," Gartley said.

Gartley spoke lor about 25 minutes in a conference at St. Albans Naval Hospital in New York City. Then he left for Jacksonville. where he entered another Naval hospital for further tests. The other two released pilots.

Navy Lt. (jg.) Norris Charles and Air Force Maj. Edward K. Elias, have also been undergoing tests since their return home in the company of anti-war activists. Officials at the Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego said Charles would be released today and continue seeing doctors as an outpatient.

The historic building, scene of annual meetings and conferences of the Ohio Yearly Meeting of Friends until seven years ago when the sessions were transferred to Malone College in Canton, was built in 1866. Always kept in good repair, the structure is still as sound as it was days long ago when the Quakers decided to erect a meetinghouse which could be used alternately with one at Mount Pleasant.

The one at Mount Pleasant was taken over several years ago by the Ohio Historical Society and preserved as an historic shrine. One of the builders of the Damascus building was George Bailey, father of the late Rev. Charles F. Bailey. In those early years church delegates and other Quakers came by buggies, carriages and even on horseback from towns in Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Later, as the Ohio Yearly Meeting expanded with the growth of the denomination, the OYM encompassed seven states. 6nly recently the OYM has been restructured to become known as the Evangelical Friends Church, Eastern Re- Watch For Anniversary coming to Smith Garage-ad Free pickup and delivery.

Viets Increase Attacks SAIGON (AP) US. and South Vietnamese officials reported today, heavy blows by US. warplanes against North Hanoi- Haiphong corridor and 100 enemy attacks across South Vietnam, the biggest upsurge in more than two months. US. Navy pilots said they left a shipyard in flames on the southwestern edge of Haiphong.

Navy and Air Force jets flew more than 250 strikes across North Vietnam Sunday, hitting supply lines, depots, barracks and other military facilities, the US. Command said. North Vietnam claimed it shot down six American planes. The US. Command did not list any losses for Sunday's raids, but said in a delayed report that an Air Force F105 was downed by a surface-to-air missile last Friday 43 miles west of Hanoi.

The two crewmen were listed as missing. In Thailand, terrorists fired 36 mortars into the US. air base at Ubon, 300 miles northeast of Bangkok, one of eight bases in Thailand from which air strikes are launched against North Vietnam. US. spokesmen in Bangkok said there was light damage to a radio tower.

They said there was no damage to planes and no Americans were hurt. Security guards drove a terrorist sabotage team from the base area. The US. cruiser Newport News left the Vietnam war zone and steamed to the Philippines with the bodies of 19 sailors killed in the worst US. naval disaster this year.

Nixon-Gromyko Meetings Begin WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon scheduled two meetings today with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.

The subjects were expected to range from treatment of Russian Jews to trade matters to East-West relations in Europe and possibly Vietnam. The first meeting this morning involved Nixon, national-security adviser Henry A. Kissinger, Gromyko and a handful of his aides. A dinner meeting at the White House had a wider guest list. including Secretary of State William P.

Rogers. Administration officials said the Soviet foreign minister and the President would deal largely with two relations and the European question. Tied to the commercial negotiations is the question of Soviet treatment of its Jewish population, an issue assuming increasing importance in the current American presidential election campaign. There is strong sentiment in Congress to link any new USSoviet trade agreement to a Soviet concession on the large exit taxes levied on emigrating Jews. The possible agreements are under negotiation in Washington.

They involve settlement of the Russian World War II lendlease debt, a maritime accord and an over-all commercial treaty. The maritime talks, conducted on the US.side by Secretary of Commerce Peter Peterson, center on the percentage of trade between the two nations that woulu be carried in American ships. The lend-lease talks deal with the $11 billion owed the United States since World War II. The price settlement is said by sources to be about $500 million with the outstanding questions the terms and length of the repayment. The Soviets, however, have demanded most-favored- nation status by the United States in exchange for the.

lend-lease settlement. It is in these negotiations that some members ot Congress are trying to force: the Soviet Union to ease its, exit tax, which can reach up. to $30,000 for some Jews, attempting to leave. Nixon and Kissinger have made it a point to keep Moscow informed on the Vietnam situation, and the two are expected to discuss with Gromyko the national- security recent secret talks in Paris with North Vietnamese peace negotiators. The Russian foreign minister also was expected to go over the situation concerning the second round of strategic-arms limitation talks and there was a possibility that he and Rogers would exchange the instruments of ratification of the earlier SALT accords.
