The staff study was ordered after President Nixon invoked executive privilege in backing the Pentagon’s refusal to supply the committee with its five-year mili tary-aid projections. the total “may be one reason they have been so reluctant” to give the estimates. He called the com mittee figures conservative. Although the committee has yet to receive any material from the administration relating to the House-passed aid bill or aid pro jections, it began its own delib erations on the measure by agreeing informally to include a provision requiring annual au thorization legislation for all State Department operations.

This would give the committee greater control over department activities than at present, when its operational spending must only be approved in the annual money bills that go through the Appropriations Committee. “It’s a right healthy amount,” Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D.- Ark., told reporters, adding that The committee staff estimated that economic and military aid over the six-year period, includ ing the current year and the projection for the next five years, would be divided about evenly. For Vietnam, it estimates more than $12.5 billion for military aid and nearly $4.5 billion for eco nomic assistance. The commit tee said aid would likely continue at the current level since “if the shooting war stops, there is likely to be a corresponding increase on the economic aid side for recon struction purposes.” Vietnam is by far the largest single aid recipient. Other large beneficiaries of U.S. assistance under the projected programs include Korea, nearly $3.5 billion, and Cambodia, nearly $2.5 billion. The House has approved a two- year aid authorization bill along existing lines, setting aside the administration’s request to re vamp the program. The bill totaled approximately $3.4 billion and included provisions cutting off aid to Greece and Pakistan. Soviet Union, India pool efforts to prevent war MOSCOW (A 3 )—Premier Alexei N.

Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan is Pakistan’s leader. “The Soviet Union is doing and will do its utmost for the maintenance of peace in that region and for the prevention of armed conflict,” Kosygin said. Then, turning to Mrs. Gandhi he added: “It seems to us that the exchange of opinion which has begun with you on this ques tion, Mrs. Prime Minister, shows that the Soviet Union and India will continue pooling their efforts to attain this aim.” The Soviet premier referred to the Soviet-Indian cooperation and assistance treaty of last Aug. 9 and repeated that the pact was “spearheaded” at no one. Kosygin’s remarks were pub lished by Tass, the official news agency. They confirmed that what In dian diplomats call “our No. 1 problem” was at the top of an abbreviated agenda when Mrs. Gandhi belatedly began her talks Tuesday morning with the Soviet leadership. There was no immediate word on whether Mrs. Gandhi had STUNT PILOT FRANK TALLMAN crashes a I-vintage biplane into a ranchhouse in this scene film near Hollywood for a motion picture.

The diplomatic community in Moscow was abuzz wtih specu lation about the urgent Polit buro meeting—held at Vnukovo Airport Monday afternoon — which caused the Russians to cancel the first part of Mrs. Gandhi’s schedule.
