Food Program To Resume

By STEPHEN FOX Associated Press Writer HILLSBOROUGHC Calif. (AP> — A massive food distribution program demanded by the long-silent kidnapers of Patricia Hearst is set to resume. For the Hearst family, the vigil continues. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph A. Hearst had hoped a weekend

televised appeal to the abductors would result in a response. So far there has been no word, the family said.

The terrorist Symbionese Liberation Army, which says it is holding the 20-year-old coed hostage, has not been heard from since a taped communication was received Feb. 20.

She was kidnaped Feb. 4 Meanwhile, the People in Need food distribution project planned to hand out food to anyone who asked at 11 locations in the San Francisco Bay area today.

A spokesman said the food packages would contain meat, vegetables and fruit — the

WASHINGTON (APf — The Senate today killed a proposed pay raise for members of Congress and other high government officials. The vote was 69 to 28. Earlier in the day the Senate voted 67 to 31 to cut off debate on the pay raise proposal. That was one vote more than the required two-thirds majority. The salary increases were provided for in President Nixon’s budget and would have

By JOHN CHADWICK Associated Press Writer WASH INGTON (A>- The issue of a pay raise for congressmen and other high government officials still is unsettled, but opponents won decisively in the first test votes in the Sen-

A two-thirds majority is necessary to put the rule into effect, and the outcome is in doubt. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, who is opposed to the pay raises and who has been urging the Senate to settle the issue, said Monday that he still hopes a filibuster won’t develop.

same as given out last Thursday — “only we will have more of them ” The organization plans to open distribution centers on Tuesdays and Fridays until funds are exhausted in an estimated six to 12 weeks. Organizers say about 45.000 persons already have received free food. Parcels of food also are being delivered to shut-ins as well, the spokesman said. The SLA demanded that Hearst distribute free food to California’s needy as a condition to negotiations for Patricia’s release. The newspaper executive donated 5500,000 of his own funds while the Hearst Foundation contributed 51.5 million. The kidnapers later demanded that 54 million more be

Hearst said he could not meet that demand, but the Hearst Corp. pledged 54 million if Miss Hearst were released. Charles Bates. FBI agent in charge of the case, said there had been no new messages from the SLA since the Hearsts’ weekend plea. Asked if one was expected soon, he replied: “There's only one group that can tell you that. It’s the kidnapers. It was a plea from a mother and father that they want to hear from her. Whether they will or not, I can’t say at this point.” Bates said he had “nothing to indicate that she has been taken out of state or that she is not safe."

A resolution to kill the salary increases is pending, but a filibuster to keep it from being brought to a vote is threatened and other maneuvers are in prospect. The pay raises budgeted by President Nixon. 7.5 per cent this year and for each of the next two years, will take effect automatically Saturday unless disapproved by the Senate or the House. The next scheduled Senate vote in the controversy is Wednesday, on the question of whether to invoke the Senate's debate cutoff rule.

But if it does and a two-thirds majority can’t be mustered to cut off debate, the increases could go into effect without a vote.

On Strike

Sens. Gale McGee, D-Wvo., and Hiram Fong. R-Hawaii, both supporters of the President’s pay-raise package, tried without success Monday to win approval of compromises.

Fong’s compromise would have delayed the start of the increases until Jan. 1, 1975. after this year’s elections, but would not have reduced the over-all amount. It was was rejected 71 to 17.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. AP-There are no indications that southern West Virginia coal miners plan to end their walkout, despite industry contentions that there is enough gasoline for them to return to work. One industry official said a total of 1.775 million gallons of gasoline was pumped into the state over the weekend. But United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller said Monday the shortage in the 10 affected counties was worse than he had believed. Miners from Logan County received a proposal from Gov. Arch A. Moore Jr. and were to vote on that today. Details of the plan were not made public. In a related development, U.S. District Court Judge Dennis R. Knapp was expected to rule today on whether to order 6.000 miners of 27 southern locals hack to work. Attorneys for 20 coal companies has asked for restraining orders against picketing. The work stoppage, involving more than 20,000 miners, began Feb. 26 after miners said they could not get enough gasoline to commute to w ork in some areas. The major complaint of the miners is an order by Moore under w hich a motorist is entitled to gasoline only if his tank is less than a quarter full. The miners contend, that creates too much risk of running out of gas betw een stations. Some commute as much as 100 miles a day to work.
