The Public Utilities Committee proposed
an expansion of the five-member
commission to seven members. The Senate
measure had called for a nine-member panel.
The committee legislation also would have
honoring evangelist Billy Graham, and
decided to stage silent protests and hold up
banners during the proceedings.
"We decided not to interrupt the
proceedings but would hold up banners and
silently protest," said McMahan.
John Knox Wilson Jr., 20, a student at
Davidson College, said he and his girlfriend
were ordered to leave the Coliseum after he
put on a black arm band to protest the
Vietnam War policies.
Wilson said he went to the Coliseum to
participate in a silent vigil and said he
thought the joint appearance of Nixon and
Graham violated the doctrine of separation
of church and state.

WASH 1NGTON The Senate approved
$250 million in mercy aid for South Vietnam
including authority for President Ford to use
troops to evacuate Americans and some
South Vietnamese.
But the House was still working on its.
S327 million version of a similar aid bill,
grinding through a sometimes angry and
partisan debate on the evacuation issue and

TRAVIS AFB. Calif. - The first wave of
thousands of fleeing South Vietnamese
refugees arrived in the United States
Wednesday.
Authorities warned of possible health

mlfflMy bill
the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of
the House appoint the two new members for
the first time. The governor would continue
all appointments under the Senate
Legislation.
If the full House supports the committee
changes, a conference committee would have
to iron out conflicts in the Senate and House
version before the legislation could become
law.
Still another House alternation was a
change in the amount of time allowed for a
commission hearing on fuel adjustment
increase requests.
The House bill calls for a hearing within 30
days and a decision within 60 days. The
Senate bill sets 60 days for the hearing and 90
days for a decision.
Deleted from the package by the
committee was a Senate proposal for
repealing the authority of utility firms to use
projected as well as past revenues in rate
'applications.
The House has passed a repeal measure as
a separate bill.
The package, introduced with the backing
of Lieutenant Governor James B. Hunt Jr.
and almost all of the Senate membership,
would for the first time require legislative
confirmation of appointments to the
Utilities Commission.

the potential dangers of sending U.S. forces
back to Vietnam even for limited purposes of
assisting evacuation.
Once the House completes its work, the
two bills will have to be reconciled by a
House-Senate conference.
Before clearing its version of the mercy
bill, the Senate beat back several Democratic
attempts to restrict or kill completely any
funds for evacuation and any authorization
lor the President to use troops in the effort.
the State Department said would reach
130,000.
Two planes loaded with 354 Vietnamese
refugees from beleaguered Saigon landed at
Travis AFB, 60 miles northeast of San
Francisco, and within an hour, after quick
customs and immigration checks, they
headed on to connecting flights to other
points throughout the nation. Most of those
on the first flights were dependents of
Americans who have been living in South
Vietnam.
Two other flights expected to arrive at
Travis within the next 24 hours were
delayed in the Philippines, the Air Force
said.
In San Francisco, City Health Director
Dr. Francis Curry warned that the
refugees could bring diseases which could
pose a health problem.
"We understand that as many as 100,000
refugees may be coming into this area
without health screening," he said. "They
could bring polio, tuberculosis, virus
dysentery and other cummunicable
diseases."
Curry noted that there was an outbreak of
dysentery among those volunteering during
the recent arrival of "Operation Babylift"
orphans, and said he was making plans to
screen new arrivals at San Francisco
hospitals.
He said if malaria-carrying refugees went
into California's valleys where mosquitoes
could transmit the disease, "we could have
very serious problems."

Republicans denounced these proposals as
part of a mini-filibuster against mercy and
they got scant support.
The Senate legislation puts strict
limitations on how Ford can use U.S. troops
in any evacuation effort.
The bill provides $100 million for
evacuation purposes and SI 50 million in
humanitarian aid to South Vietnam and
Cambodia.

information officer at Travis, said there were
no restrictions on where unattached
Vietnamese could go. He said they were
being sent on from Travis, and most of them
planned to catch flights to other cities.
"These people can go anywhere they
want." Sturgess said. "If they have no cash,
the Red Cross is there to help them."
Spokesman at the Presidio of San
Francisco, which handled most of the
"Operation Babylift" arrivals, said they were
surveying facilities in the San Francisco Bay
area that could be used to process the huge
number of refugees.
Richard L. Williams, district director of
the Immigration and Naturalization Service,
took a more relaxed view of the giant influx.
"We've been through these crises before,"
he said. "We can handle them."

troops to rescue South Vietnamese only as
part of the withdrawal of Americans.
In trying to speed House action on its
version of the bill, a House leader disclosed
earlier Wednesday that the number of U.S.
officials and their dependents in Saigon has
been reduced to less than 1. 000 by
Wednesday.
The Senate bill stressed the importance of
getting as many Americans and their
dependents out of South Vietnam as possible
right now.
Ford would be allowed to use armed
lorces to assist the evacuation of endangered
foreign nationals along with the Americans
only after he certifies to Congress that every
diplomatic effort had been made to
terminate the threat to the foreigners and
their lives were still in jeopardy.
During the debate, critics of the Dill
expressed concern that Ford could use the
evacuation contingency fund S 100 million
ol the $200 million total, with the other S 100
earmarked for humanitarian purposes as
a cover for further military aid to Saigon.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn..
who supported the bill, acknowledged such a
diversion in the use of evacuation funds
might happen.
He said the evacuation contingency funds
"might have to be used 101 ways. It may ev en
have to be used to pay to get people out of
there."
But Humphrey opposed all efforts to
restrict Ford's evacuation authority beyond
those alreadv written into the bill.
