Much Colder Weather Due
Terrorist Bomb Wounds Yanks
WASHINGTON UPI — With the Viet Nam war expected to dominate the next session at Congress, Capitol Hill thinks the administration will reverse its field and back a new GI benefits bill.
The tipoff came, some say, when a longtime congressional holdout against such a bill, Rep. Olin Teague, D-Tex., said last month he thought one would pass.
Under increasing pressure, every administration since 1935 has opposed any new general GI bill. This year, the pressure is expected to be too great.
The Senate passed a “cold war” benefits bill last year. It called for government-paid college educations and government guaranteed home loans for anyone who has served in the armed forces since Jan. 1, 1955. That was the cutoff date for the Korean War GI bill, which actually was an extension of the World War II measure.
Much colder weather headed for Indiana today on the wings of brisk winds to end at least temporarily a stretch of mild days and moderate to heavy rain over the south portion. Temperatures were expected to dip to 15 above zero in the north portion tonight, 18 in the central and in the 20s downstate as cold air whips in from the northwest on winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour velocity.
WASHINGTON UPI — Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower was scheduled to leave Walter Reed Army Medical Center today after an overnight stay for what officials said was a “routine checkup.”

Bargaining Hearings At Three State Sites
NEW YORK UPI J Mayor John V. Lindsay reported to New Yorkers today a tiny measure of progress toward the end of their anguish. He said negotiators at last were making “some movement” toward an end of the city’s crippling subway and bus strike.
But, to a city trudging through the strike’s sixth day, he cautioned: “The gap remains wide between the parties.” He wouldn’t say how wide. But before he put in a grueling
17 hours in bargaining, it stood at $155 million — the difference between the $180 mil-
lion sought by the striking Transport Workers Union (TWU) and the $25 million offered by the Transit Authority (TA), whose six million daily passengers have struggled to find a way of traveling to and through a stalled city.
Drawn and pale, the new' Republican mayor made his announcement at 1:47 a. m. EST. The news was hopeful,— any
news of progress would be — but it carried no implication of a quick and dramatic end to a long and costly strike. And the cost multiplied. A prominent businessman used the word “bankruptcy” in warning w'hat could happen to hundreds of small hand-to mouth businesses and “ma-and-pa” stores deprived of customers. “New offers have been made between the parties,” Lindsay reported. He gave no details,
but promised more in a “report gaining in good faith,” he said.

SAIGON UPI — A terrorist mine planted under the seat of a rickshaw exploded Wednesday night in front of the main gate at suburban Tan Son Nhut Airport, killing one Vietnamese and injuring three Americans. The toll probably wrould have been higher but a tree next to which the three-wheeled cycle was parked took much of the blast. It was believed the mine was of the deadly claymore variety, which shoots off thousands of pieces of shrapnel. The bomb went off about 300 feet from the main gate after the cycle was parked by its terrorist driver. The injured Americans apparently were leaving the military base to go to Sai gon for a few hours of entertainment. A Vietnamese civilian also was injured.
He said he was not able “at this moment to give an estimate” to the vital question of the New 7 Year: When would normacly return to the streets of New York?
Strange Ingredient
The Senate bill was written by Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex, It differed chiefly from th* World War n bill by eliminating business loans. The Veterans Administration estimates the bill w-ould cost about $400 million a year. Under it, more than 5 million veterans w’ould be eligible for benefits by 1968. Teague, chairman of the House Veterans Committee, opposed this bill and similar ones in the past. He contended peacetime service even under cold w 7 ar conditions did not warrant the vast outlays such a bill would entail. But things have changed. American soldiers in Viet Nam are no longer advisers — they are combatants. The administration apparently thinks special veterans benefits might help gain popular support for the w 7 ar effort as well as congressional backing. The question, then, is what kind of a bill to pass. Some in the administration are convinced the price tag on the Yarborough bill is too high. But so far no scheme has emerged to cut it back. “There are only two ways to trim it,” one congressional source said. “You cut the benefits or you cut those eligible to receive them.”
Lindsay said talks would resume at 9:30 a. m. EST. “I have been assured — both by the parties and the mediators — that there will be bar-
