Nixon has threatened to veto the bill if the final version is laden with quotas other than on textiles, which he supports. Nixon Com Cabinet Cliainiges WASHINGTON-High administration sources confirmed Thursday that President Nixon is considering replacing three cabinet members, particularly Interior Secretary Walter J.

Hardin. Mi tctie Defense Rests FT. HOOD, Tex.-Sgt. David Mitchell, tears falling' from his cheeks onto two rows of combat medals clipped to his chest, testified Thursday he did not shoot anyone the day the Army claim American troops slaughtered Vietnamese civilians at My Lai.

J L Mire A But the President has never said how he feels about the bill written by the House Ways and Means Committee and Rep. Donald Fraser, D-Minn., said, "I was hoping the President would offer his leadership to the nation and to the Congress on this bill." The measure the House was considering would impose quotas on textile and shoe imports, freeze oil import quotas by law, provide tax breaks for U.S. exporters and liberalize relief for import-injured American firms. The mid-term elections gave Nixon a chance to protect his political flanks against criticism, settle old scores and reward losing Republican candidates by making high-echelon personnel changes for the next two years. It has been an open secret for months that the White House wants Hickel's scalp for a public display of disloyalty that has never been forgiven. That was his letter to Nixon, leaked to the press, imploring the President to heed the voice of young people who then were protesting the U.S. intervention in Cambodia. Among those in contention for Hickel's job is Rep. Rogers C. B. Morton of Maryland, who is reported to be unhappy over a lack of influence at the White House as Republican national chairman. If Morton makes a move, the GOP chairmanship may go to White House counselor Robert Finch, a trusted Nixon political adviser. Hickel, the millionaire former governor of Alaska, has said he would quit only if fired. His earliest chance for elective office would be the 1972 House race. Kennedy, at 65 the oldest member of the cabinet, does not have particularly good relations with Congress and is infrequently outgunned by other economic policy advisers to the President. Hardin's position at the Agriculture. Department was shaken by farmer unrest, over price support policies that helped lead to Republican election losses. Of the nine House seats won by Democrats, eight were farm belt.

Although Fraser urged Nixo to give the House a clear sign of where he stood on the bill, he said that he had received a call from the State Department -which he said was instigated by the White House-urging him to help kill the bill. "The State Department is very concerned about the effects of the bill," agreed Rep. Brock Adams, D-Wash. He cited reports that other nations were prepared to retaliate against U.S. goods if restrictions are placed cn their imports. But Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis., ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, urged members to vote for it. Nixon's original trade proposal included textile quotas, limited tariff -cutting authority -which the bill contains-some relief provisions and the tax break for U.S. industries. It did not include shoe quotas, the freeze on oil quotas, or give him broad new authority to impose quotas on other goods if the tariff commission finds imports hurt domestic industry.

An Israeli spokesman denied the report but said guerrilla mortar had hit Metulla the two previous nights. In Cairo, an Egyptian government spokesman attacked as "regrettable" President Nixon's request to Congress to appropriate $500 million in aid to Israel, and said this simply encouraged Israel to continue its "aggression" and defy United United Nations resolutions. In Beirut, Lebanese Premier Saeb Salem, whose country has been earmarked for $5 million in U.S. foreign aid, also denounced Nixon's action as "being unjust to the Arabs." A Jordanian government spokesman said the fighting in Amman was provoked by the guerrillas when they attacked Jordanian police positions Wednesday evening. . , -, . i The guerrillas and government .forces exchanged machine and mortar fire and grenades in the fighting that lasted until 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
