Military Spends All It’s Alloted Money; Some Programs Cancelled

WASHINGTON (API - The Pentagon has spent all of its alloted military aid money for South Vietnam, forcing revision or cancellation of some munitions contracts and a likely sus-

pension of U.S. military help for the Saigon government for the next two months. While Pentagon officials were stung by the Senate’s rejection of $266 million in additional

military aid for South Vietnam, they are even more fearful the Congress will make deeper cuts in the same aid request for the coming fiscal year. In a surprising, successful fight led by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., the Senate voted 43 to 38 Monday to limit U.S. aid to Vietnam to a previously established $ 1.126 billion ceiling. The vote caused Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger to order a series t of emergency meetings to decide how to react. Pentagon sources indicated American shipments to Saigon probably would be held up through the end of the fiscal year to remain in compliance with the Senate cutoff.

At the White House, Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said top Nixon administration officials were “deeply disappointed” in the Senate vote. He predicted the congressional cutoff would result in a military imbalance in Vietnam as a result of continued heavy infiltration of troops and equipment by the North Vietnamese into South Vietnam. Though Warren indicated attempts may be made again to raise the aid ceiling. Pentagon sources said no attempt would be made to influence a conference committee of House and Senate members who might consider it again. Instead, said Pentagon offi-

cials, the chief worry is salvaging a $1.6 billion Vietnam aid ceiling for the new fiscal year starting July 1. The House Armed Services Committee already has lopped off $200.0(X) of that figure, indicating that any attempts for a substantial military support program for the Saigon government will have trouble in the Congress. Between now and July 1, Pentagon sources said, all categories of military aid to South Vietnam, particularly artillery rounds, would come under scrutiny. Some arms or ammunition purchases might be diverted in other aid programs to countries such as Korea or Israel. The rejection of the $266 million, sought not as an outright

increase, but defended as a paper transfer credited to earlier years, was not expected to result in any sharp reduction of South Vietnamese military operations. It was expected to re-

sult in a much more frugal use of such items as artillery rounds and aircraft munitions And while Pentagon officials decided how to stay within bounds of the $1 126 billion ceil-

ing. they planned means of salvaging their fiscal 1975 request in a debate reminiscent of earlier congressional fights over U.S. involvement in the Indochina fighting.

quired two-thirds majority, the 160,000-member league on Tuesday gave men full voting rights. “Most of us are well accustomed to dealing with men in the kitchen, on the dance floor, at the gasoline station and in the bedroom,” said Betsy Johnson of Worcester, Mass. “But how many of us know how to persuade men to our point of view on the political plane? Working with men inside the league will contribute to our political effectiveness.” When the vote was announced. most of the 1.400 delegates to its national convention stood and cheered. “I'm not certain men are ready for the league, hut I feel the league is ready for men.” said president L uc\ W.
