The President said the accelerated withdrawal pace-part of 150,000 men he hoped to order home by next May-was made possible by the "Vietnamization" program, the improved posture of the South Vietnamese Army and the Cambodian incursion during May and June. Nixon Vetoes Limit On TV Campaigning WASHINGTON ( UPI)-President Nixon, saying it plugged "only one hole in a sieve," Monday vetoed a bill setting tough spending limits for radio and television commercials in election campaigns. Accusing the President of playing partisan politics with the skyrocketing cost of running for office, Democrats vowed to try to overturn the veto. But they conceded they would have a hard time getting the required two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. Court Begins School Case W A S II I NGTON-The Nixon administration, denying it was sounding a civil rights retreat, told the Supreme Court Monday it could find no constitutional requirement for racial balance in the nation's public schools. But Solicitor General Erwin N. Gr is wold suggested Congress might require this through legislation. He argued the government position in the opening round of two days of hearings on six school desegregation cases given top priority by the high court. He urged the court to set the standard for the national objective of school desegregation but promptly added the government's contention that this standard should be only "to disestablish a dual school system and achieve a truly unitary system. mmi: nm Tin 502 W. rnnMn U.

Immediately after announcing t he-factions, the court began hearing on! arguments on the extent to which sJiool integration must be carried out by busing or other means. The Justices net Monday will hear similar arguments on the constitutionality of the new law extending the right to vote to 18 vear olds in every state. 1L By Dec. 31, Nixon said, the American troop level will be 344,000-a reduction of 205,500 men since he took office in January, 1969. The announcement came as Nixon visited with newspaper editors and broadcast officials from more than a dozen northeastern states. He also said he would "blitz" Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania ane Wisconsin Saturday and "definitely" would campaign for Republican candidates in California and Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., D-N.C, summed up the general Democratic objection to Nixon's action. "I think it just makes sense to put some Hmit on campaign spending. The way it is now a poor man can't run for office without being subsidized." The bill would not have affected this fall's election, but would have cut spending in the 1972 presidential election to less than half the $12.5 million the Republicans spent in 1968 getting Nixon elected. "Thebigmoney,.peopleoi" corporate America who are paying the skyrocketing costs of television politics defense contractors and consumer manipulaters-are not complaining," said Democrat Nicholas Johnson, a member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). "They're getting their money's worth from a government that makes better deals with business than it does with people. But it's a sad and tragic day for those who had hoped for some limitation on the power of money to dominate our politics and our government." A White House official who briefed reporters on Nixon's action denied that his veto was motivated by political considerations, but acknowledged that both GOP National Chairman Rogers C. B. Morton and Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., chairman of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee, urged the President to reject the bill. !?9. 0077002 HUI.

Monday over the ransom they demand of the government for their release. The Front De Liberation Du Quebec (FLQ), wfrjch earlier suspended death deadlines hanging over the two political hostages and named a representative to negotiate with the government, reinstated their threat to kill Pierre Laporte, provincial minister of labor and immigration. But no deadline was-set. Hheyj; offered ta free British Trade Commissioner James C. Cross on two conditions but to kill Laporte unless four others were also complied with.

Vx high FBI official said Monday ourg radical hae formed underground commando units to wage guerrilla warfare against the V S. government with sabotage, bombmss. assassinations and kidnapmgs. William C. Sullivan, top assitant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, said that the Weatherman, splinter taction of the Students for a Democratic Society tSDSi, and other "anarchistic groups" plan to use this terrorist strategy to demoralize American society. Their goal, he sa;d. is overthrow of the government. The FBI has information that the radicals may try to kidnap U.S. government officials and foreign heads of state attending the 25th anniversary of the United Nations in New York this month, Sullivan said. Quarrel Dispute through communiques left for radio station newsmen at drops in the city, alerting them by telephone calls. Apparently the communiques, which are immediately broadcast, are also the only communication between the two cells. The "Liberation" cells, which kidnaped Cross last Monday, had agreed to free Cross and Laporte in return for two demands. The main demand was the release of 23 separatists jailed on charges ranging up to murder and bombing, and an airplane 4o fly them into exile in Cuba or Algeria. The "Liberation" cell also demanded an end to the police search for the kidnapers.

The action was the last of a series in major cities. "They planned a small, tough paramilitary organization designed to carry out urban guerrilla warfare which would bring about a revolution against the government." Sullivan said. "In early 170, Weatherman leaders called for their members to go underground and form commando-type units. Weatherman members were to engage in strategic sabotage directed against military and police institutions using bombs, assassinations and some direct confrontation with the police."
