>leros close bank passes House vote WASHINGTON UP> — The House overpowered President icon’s farm-policy backers Wed nesday night and voted to set up s national food bank while rais- j„ g wheat and feed-grain price supports by 25 per cent. The vote was 182 to 170. After rejecting efforts to gain eonsideration of a $20,000-per- farmer annual limit on federal subsidies, the House linked two highly controversial measures— both opposed by the administra tion—into a massive farm-aid 11. Democrats said it is aimed at helping stave off a depression jn the Farm Belt. But Republicans attacked the bill as a highly cost ly federal project that could yield more mischief than relief. The Democrats crushed Re publican attempts to revise the bill. The legislation would: -Establish a $1.5-billion na tional food bank of wheat and Physics colloquium to be Thursday Dr. Robert Geroch of the Uni versity of Chicago will give the physics colloquium lecture Thurs day at A&M.

Raise the total grain-crop value by more than $2 billion through a 25-per-cent mandato ry two-year boost in minimum loan rates to protect producer income, at an estimated cost to the government of $281 million in the year ending next June 30. The bill was sent to the Senate, where it is expected to receive an enthusiastic welcome from Dem ocrats and intense opposition from Republicans. The administration has said it prefers its own ap proach to solving farm problems, including such things as a recent announcement of government plans to buy corn on the open market in a bid to firm up farm prices.

(AP Wirephoto) Laird calls for buildup of allied navies BRUSSELS, Belgium (A*) — U.S. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird called Wednesday for a major redeployment of allied na vies to counter a Soviet buildup in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Laird submitted a three-point proposal to the defense planning committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. His plan envisioned formation of a permanent international fleet in the Mediterranean and an ex panded NATO naval presence in the Atlantic. It also incorporated an offer to provide European, countries with American weapons systems, electronic warfare help and other highly sophisticated gear being withdrawn from Indochina. Details of Laird’s proposal as relayed by U.S. officials: —NATO’s standing naval force in the Atlantic, set up in 1966, should be augmented by countries, like West Germany, with fleets which currently are not partici pants.

Other participants now in clude the United States, Britain and Italy. But any allied navy with ships to spare should serious ly consider joining. —NATO nations have the chance to take up an American offer of help based on U.S. ex perience in Vietnam. This would take the form of electronic war fare gear, presumably missile sys tems, other complete weapons systems, and. techniques of tac tical air control. The defense planning commit tee is composed of all NATO members minus France which stays out of the allied military system. Laird said he was pleased with what he regarded as a new spirit permeating the alliance. He stressed that the United States would regard any unilateral cut back of defense spending as reck less. It was essential, he insisted, that as the allies move from con frontation into a negotiation with the Communist world, there should be no letup of effort, no lowering of the allied guard. In that context the defense sec retary had the backing of the West Germans. They joined the United States in stressing that any Big Four deal on Berlin must be signed, sealed and delivered before the West goes into Euro pean security talks with the Com munist powers. The development amounted to rejection of Tuesday’s call by Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev for early Western moves toward the long-projected security par ley. At the same time Secretary of State William P. Rogers sig naled allied willingness to nego tiate a program of balanced force cuts with the European Commu nist powers. He urged the Soviet Union, as a first step, to receive Manlio Brosio of Italy who has been named special allied envoy for the task of preparing the ground for the negotiations. On arrival from Washington Rogers also announced that “the United States will not diminish our partnership with western Eu rope, our support for its unity and our commitment to its de fense.” The 50th session of the North Atlantic Council, beginning Thursday for two days, will focus mainly on the political, economic and strategic affairs of Europe. Scasta wins scholarship David E. Scasta of Bryan was honored with a $260 scholarship Tuesday by Continental Oil Co.’s Natural Gas and Gas Products Department.
