Russia vetoes cease-fire
UNITED NATIONS (UPI)-
The Soviet Union vetoed a
Security Council resolution Sun
day night calling for an
immediate cease-fire in the
Indo-Pakistani war.
The 15-nation council sche
duled another session on the
Indo-Pakistani crisis today to
come within hours after the full
131-member General Assembly
begins a new round of debate in
another theater of conflict—The
Middle East.

WASHINGTON - The well
organized team assembling
President Nixon’s reelection
campaign is quietly anticipat
ing that his popularity will
yield some 1972 Senate gains
for the Republicans.
At this stage, however, there
are few positive signs to indi
cate such an event will occur.
The same signs do point to a
potential Republican loss in the
Senate unless Mr. Nixon uses
his time and control of party

address to the assembly today
in reply to Egyptian Foreign
Minister Mahmoud Riad’s de
mand Friday for sanctions
against Israel on grounds it
refused to implement a Nov. 22,
1967 council resolution directing
Israel to withdraw its forces
from occupied Arab territory.
Steadfast in Moscow’s sup
port of India, Soviet Ambassa
dor Yakov A. Malik used the
Russian veto for the 107th time
in the council to strike down a
cease-fire and mutual troop
withdrawal resolution offered
resources to help some allies in
trouble.
Thirty-three U.S. senators —
19 Republicans and 14 Demo
crats —will be up for reelection
next year. Democrats now con
trol, 55 to 45, and are a favorite
as of now to retain virtually all
of the seats they hold.
A survey of individual offices
also indicates that, based on
current popularity and plans of
the incumbents, Democrats
could gain as many as six seats
next year.
In 1970, Democrats won 22
and Republicans 11 of the seats
in contention. One independent
and one conservative won elec
tion at the same time. Despite
some criticism that the White
House lost in the first off-year
election, Mrs. Nixon described
the current makeup of the
Senate as a “working ma
jority” for his party.
The critical problem for Mr.
Nixon next year, however, is
that the “working majority” —
the number of conservative Re
publicans and Democrats ex
pected to pool their forces on
major issues — could be cut
sharply after November of next
year.
A secondary problem for Mr.
Nixon is that all of the so-called
“glamor races” for Senate in
1972 will occur in states needed
to secure his reelection.
In only two states, normally
Democratic Virginia and
Georgia, do Republicans now
stand a better than even chance
of upsetting the Democrats.
by eight small nations, all of
them nonpermanent council
members except Poland and
Syria.
It was the second Svoiet veto
of a cease-fire resolution in 24
hours and came in the face of
severe criticism of the Russian
position by China and the
United States. The veto ended
without concrete results Sun
day’s five-hour debate of the
India-Pakista conflict.
Minutes earlier, Chinese Am
bassador Huang Hua cast the
sole vote against a Soviet
Races expected to draw the
most attention are those waged
by Howard Baker in Tennes
see, Robert Griffin in Michi
gan, Mark Hatfield in Oregon,
Charles Percy in Illinois and
John Tower in Texas. All are
Republicans and with the ex
ception of Percy and Hatfield,
consistent supporters of Mr.
Nixon.
Republicans could pull a sur
prise in Virginia where there is
now announced GOP opposition
to Sen. William Spong. Similar
ly, Georgia GOP Rep. Fletcher
Thompson hopes to unseat Sen.
David Gambrell, appointed by
Gov. Jimmy Carter last year to
succeed the late Richard Rus
sell.
Mr. Nixon’s problems would
be eased considerably by the
victories of several aging but
politically safe Republicans
who have yet to announce their
intentions for next year. They
include Sens. Gordon Allott of
Colorado, J. Caleb Boggs of
Delaware, Clifford Case of New
Jersey, Carl Curtis of Nebras
ka, Jack Miller of lowa and
James Pearson of Kansas.
Another troublesome seat for
Mr. Nixon is the one held by
Republican Karl Mundt of
South Dakota. Mundt has been
seriously ill for more than a
year and has not attended a
Senate session in that time. If
he decides not to file for reelec
tion, the race could be wide
open.
Liberal Republican Edward
Brooke of Massachusetts and
conservative loyalist Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina
are heavy favorites to win.
Republicans so far have been
trying to insure there will be no
lack of resources for the Baker,
Griffin and Tower campaigns.
White House sources say
there is sympathy but less
campaign enthusiasm for
Percy and Hatfield. Percy is
expected to have a close run
but is favored.
If Hatfield drops out — as he
has given some indication of
doing — the seat is expected to
go to another maverick Repub
lican — Gov. Tom McColl.
A problem for the Republi
cans in gaining Democrat seats
is that most of the opposition
party incumbents represent
southern states. In only one
state, Oklahoma, do Republi-
resolution seeking a political
settlement in East Pakistan
which would inevitably result in
a cessation of hostilities.” The
Soviets and Poland voted for it
and the 12 other council
members, including the United
States, abstained.
China’s vote did not consti
tute a veto because a majority
of the council did not vote for
the pro-India measure. Peking
supports Pakistan in the war.
Still pending before the
council was a Chinese resolu-
cans now have a chance to
mount a direct challenge. In
cumbent Fred Harris an
nounced his intention to quit the
Senate some months ago, and
subsequently announced for the
presidential nomination. He
has now backed out of that
race, too, leaving the nomina
tion field open. Oklahoma,
however, has heavily rooted
Democratic voting patterns.
The over-all Senate master
plan from the White House is
not yet in final form. But most
sources concur that the focus of
presidential help will go to
Baker, Griffin and Tower. All
of their states are prizes sought
by Mr. Nixon’s electoral vote
counters.

Nixon, Trudeau
open talks today
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres
ident Nixon’s meeting with
Canadian Prime Minister
Pierre Elliott Trudeau today
was likely to be centered more
on the two nations* common'
problems than on the world
affairs which will dominate
Nixon’s four other summit
meetings in the coming weeks.
Trudeau was scheduled to
arrive at the White House at 4
p.m. EST for about two hours
of talks with Nixon. He Will fly
back to Canada Tuesday after a
dinner tonight and a press
conference in the morning.
Most of Nixon’s meetings
with the heads of allied nations
between now and Jan. 6 were
designed to solicit advice and
offer explanations for his
forthcoming trips to China and
the Soviet Union; but the
Trudeau meeting, which the
Canadian leader requested, was
expected to be slightly differ
ent.
While superpower relations
were undoubtedly on the
agenda, more time was expect
ed to be allotted to the
economic problems which have
cropped up between the two
North American neighbors.
Trudeau was expected to
lodge another protest against
the 10 per cent surcharge on
imports which Nixon levied
Aug. 15 when he imposed his
various other controls on the
U.S. economy. The Canadians
feel the surtax has hindered
unnecessarily the long-standing
and generally free flow of trade
between the two countries.

Officials in Ottawa said they
expected the talk also would
cover the U.S.-Canadian ba
lance of payments, the 1965
Auto Trade Pact, the Trudeau
government’s forthcoming
foreign investment policy and
possibly the subject of energy
trades between the two coun
tries.
Nixon returned to Washington
Sunday night after a weekend
at his bayside villa in Key
Biscayne, Fla., where he spent
