The program, first telecast Feb. 23, said the Pentagon spends at least (30 million and possibly as much as S190 million a year on public relations, not only to inform but to persuade Americans on vital national policies. "Defending the country not just with arms but also with ideology," the documentary charged, "Pentagon propaganda insists on America's role as the cop on every beat in the world." On Feb. 25, House Armed Services Committee Chairman F. Edward Hebert, accused CBS of "one of the most horrible examples" of antimi- litary presentation he had ever heard.

Agnew, speaking March IS in Boston, described the program as "a subtle but vicious broadside against the nation's def establishment." He charged CBS had used questionable editing techniques. CBS re-telecast the program March 23, and, at the end, added criticism from previous interviews with Agnew, Melvin Laird and Hebert, plus a rebuttal from CBS News President Richard S. Salant. Commerce Committee Chairman Harley 0. Staggers, DW.

through his special investigations subcommittee, issued a subpoena April 7 demanding delivery of "all film, workprints, outtakes, sound- tape recordings, written scripts and-or transcripts." On April 20, CBS declined. The documentary won a special prize from the George Foster a A a National Advisory Committee in New York, and an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. On May 26, the subcommittee withdrew its original subpoena, as it determined CBS met some requirements through information already supplied, and then issued a new subpoena making "clear that the outtakes desired were only those pertaining to the actual broadcast," Staggers said. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission advised the subcommittee on June 22 that "we cannot conclude, that CBS has failed to comply with the fairness doctrine" in presenting the documentary. The Staggers-Stanton showdown came June 24, with the chairman saying his panel had no interest in getting into the controversy over whether the program was biased against the Pentagon's public affairs efforts.

"Allegations have been raised and, in part at least, sustained by sworn testimony and other evidence received by this subcommittee," Staggers told Stanton, "the network engaged in some questionable techniques of persuasion." The chairman argued that the question involves not the First Amendment, but "willful deception of the public." But Stanton said CBS attorneys, having reviewed the new subpoena, advised it "still seeks to compel the production of materials compiled in preparing and editing the documentary but not actually broadcast." Iceland wants the Americans to go UASUUNAMNESE HOMESTEAD Open 7 days a week Bar open: 4 P.M.- 3 A.M. Dining Open: 5 P.M.-2 A.M. NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS FOR BANQUETS PARTIES 4625 Airport Way 479-6986 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) All parties in Iceland's incoming leftist government are reported agreed that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization base at Keflavik must be closed and that iU 3,000 American servicemen must go, probably within four years. The new coalition to govern this island republic in the North Atlantic appears convinced that Iceland should remain a member of NATO, but that foreign servicemen should not be stationed here during peace-time. The base 30 miles southwest of Reykjavik, and the stationing of American naval personnel there are authorized by a U.S.-Icelandic defense pact under NATO auspices.

The base has been operating since 1951. Located nearly halfway between New York and Moscow, it tracks Soviet plane and ship movements in the North Atlantic. The Russians have been pressuring the Icelandic Government for some time to pull out of NATO, or at least to close the base. The new coalition under Premier-Elect Olafur Johannesson controls 32 of the parliament's 60 seats, including 17 Progressives, 10 members of the Communist People's Alliance and five of the Liberal Left party.

Small cars from Detroit WASHINGTON (AP) Seriously threatened by small imports, Detroit finally has learned Americans didn want big, gaudy, gas-eating cars, says Victor Reuther, last of the pioneer auto union brothers If the U.S. auto industry "sacrifices the gingerbread, splashy chrome and the luxury of ridiculous model changes every one or two years," it can compete perfectly well with Japanese and German imports which have been grabbing increasingly large chunks of the U.S. car market Reuther says. 59, announced recently he will retire next May 1 after 35 years in the labor movement.

He is director of the international affairs division of the United Auto Workers. His brother, UAW President Walter Reuther, was killed in a plane crash last year. Another brother, Roy, Walter's assistant, died of a heart attack in 1968. "It is only this year that the American auto industry has made even a small beginning in trying to meet Japanese import competition," Reuther said in an interview. General Motors' Vega and Ford's Pinto offer the best chances for U.S.

industry to head off the import car stampede, Reuther said. U.S. auto makers, "wanted people driving down the highway with several tons of steel and metal instead of maybe just one ton," Reuther said. "Their margin of profit is greater. They deliver sermons about competition being the life blood of the free-enterprise system, but they didn't even try to meet the competition." "If it had not been for this foreign challenge," Reuther aid, "the American consumer today would not have access to the small car." ANNOUNCING THE OPENING OF Mouse of Mia 216 Northward Bklg.

The k-long meeting opens Wednesday, continuing the ABA's 94th annual meeting that began in New York July Hotels are stocking up on such things as orange juice and Turn in a pusher' goes big in Florida TAMPA, Kla. (AP) A "Turn in a Pusher" program has attracted 2,930 calls from tipsters since it began operating less than six months ago. Informers remain anonymous and are paid for tips that lead to conviction of drug pushers.

The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce and businesses which contributed funds began the TIP bounty system for this city of 318,000 in February. James Cusack, a former FBI agent who developed the idea and is director of the program, says 37 persons have been arrested and three convicted as a result of TIP information. In addition, police say they are watching 262 suspects named by informants. Informants call their tips into a secret office manned by civilians and get from $100 to in cash for information that leads to a conviction. Strict anonymity is enforced.

The callers are warned not to give their names and are assigned a code name instead. A total of $1,000 has been paid to four persons. The amounts are set by a TIP committee, which considers the extent of a pusher's activities and the age group he was dealing with. FTC wants car proof WASHINGTON (AP)-Is a Ford Ltd. really "over 700 per cent quieter?" Are Oldsmobiles "pollution fighters?" Is the Super Beetle really different in 81 ways a "yesteryear." Seeking the answers, the Federal Trade Commission Tuesday ordered seven U.S.

and foreign automobile manufacturers to submit documentation for these and claims made in advertising. The orders, sent to General Motors Ford Motor Chrysler American Motors, Volkswagen of American, Toyota Motor and Nissan Motor give the firms 60 days to respond. Soon after answers are received, the information will be made public by the FTC for use by consumers and competitors. The FTC spokesman emphasized that in announcing the results, the agency will not make a public evaluation of the adequacy of the documentation. That, he said, would be up to the individual consumer and competitors.

But where documentation ii clearly inadequate or totally lacking, Investigation for false advertising may ensue, the spokesman said. The main purpose, he said, to provide consumers and competitors with information to which they have not been privy in the past. Once a pusher is convicted, the reward money awaits another call from the code-named informant. Cash is placed in an envelope, Cusack said in an interview, and "we make arrangements for the delivery. We don't want to know who the informant is.

We'll make a drop or leave it at a general delivery or something like that. People are interested in that type of i names, secret drops. There's a little 'I Spy' In all of us." Sponsoring businesses have contributed for rewards. Information received from a tipster goes directly to Tampa police or the Hillsborough County sheriffs department. "People are great," Cusack said.

"It's amazing what people will do for a small count of money. Some cops even believe mothers will turn in their kids for the right price." Gruening on peace offer WASHINGTON (AP) -Former Sen. Ernest Gruening, D- Alaska, has told a group of antiwar veterans the latest North Vietnamese proposal at the Paris peace talks is "a splendid offer, a magnificent offer." But Gruening, who appeared Monday before a meeting of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Concerned Officers Movement with former Sen. Eugene McCarthy, said President Nixon is "shilly-shal- lying around" rather than taking advantage of the proposal. extra copies of The Wall Street Journal.

Everything from a Chicago computer to an ex-diplomat named Sir Frederick Everson have been put to work handling arrangements. "It's the biggest thing I've ever handled," says Sir Frederick. The ABA meeting headquarters at the Grosvenor House Hotel, between the U.S. Embassy and Hyde Park, includes a reception area providing advice on renting cars, riding subways, booking flights and arranging for hostesses to guide lawyers' wives on shopping tours. While judges from Florida and Idaho ask a miniskirted tourist guide which pubs to visit, ladies called "English Roses" answer their wives' questions about what to wear at a Buckingham Palace garden party.

When garden partying with the queen, the English Roses advise, wear hats and gloves and never pants suits. Nixon tops Kennedy NEW YORK (AP) President Nixon leads Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, by 44 to 36 per cent with Alabama Gov. George Wallace getting 13 per cent according to a Louis Harris poll testing 1972 election possibilities.

"Suppose the 1972 election for president were being held today and you have to choose right now. Would you vote for Richard Nixon, the Republican; Senator Edward Kennedy, the Democrat, or Gov. George Wallace, the independent." Harris said Monday his organization asked that question at 1,614 households between June 9 and 15 among persons likely to vote in 1972. Harris said the poll found Kennedy had strong support among black voters, with 71 per cent compared to 13 per cent for Nixon and two for Wallace.

Large selection Alaskan Handicrafts and jewelry. All at State Highways work totaling $61.4 million A SUle Highways Department his some KU mUlion worth of highway work underway in Alaska this summer, with more expected to begin, but says it is falling behind planning because of a federal freeze on funds. The work, awarded to contractors in previous years, is expected to be completed for the most part this year. It includes miles of new construction, worth some $38.7 million, and more than WA miles of reconstruction, worth about $15.3 million. The balance Includes paving, lighting and other projects.

In addition, the department has awarded some $7 million worth of contracts this year for initiation in 1971 and completion in 1972. It has advertised for bid another $22.2 million worth, of which about $6.5 million will be new construction, $10.8 million reconstruction and the balance miscellaneous. Bruce Campbell, state highways commissioner, says Alaska's regular annual federal aid allotment for highways is $50 million. But the federal Office of Budget and Management has clamped an obligation ceiling of $38 million on Alaska for the Superstar emotions PITTSBURGH (AP) The actor in the role of Jesus Christ, his arms outstretched, his long blond hair shining in the spotlight, moved to the mocrophone at the front of the stage and said softly, "I love you all." Thus ended the premiere concert tour performance Monday night of the authorized version of the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar." A capacity crowd of 13,640 jammed Pittsburgh's Civic Arena to witness the play that is to go on Broadway in October. The opera is sometimes irreverent, sometimes raucous dramatization of the last days of Jesus Christ.

Instead of the majestic figure of the New Testamont, Jesus, as played by Jeff Fenholt, is "just a man," arguing with Judas Iscariot, responding to Mary Magdelene's warmth and turning from his followers when they overwhelm him with cries for help. The straightforward, secular approach taken by composer Andrew Webber and lyricist Tim Rice has offended some church leaders. In the audience, a sprinkling of nuns and clergy sang along with the opera's theme song and clapped to the rock beat. Christ's interpretation of himself and others' interpretation of him in the play may spark the most comment. To Pontius Pilate, he is a "most amazing man," with "that look-you very rarely find, the haunting, hunted kind." King Herod's reaction is the most mocking: "So you are the great Jesus Christ: Prove to me that you're no fool.

Walk across my swimming pool." The cast of 20, with a 32-piece orchestra, will perform "Superstar" Wednesday and Thursday 'at Asbury Park, N.J. past seven! In tnti- inflatkm move. "We have i backlog now of IB million in federal highway funds that budget and management has frozen on us," says Campbell. "Our department does planning and preliminary engineering on a CO million basis, so we're falling behind." Alaska received a federal appropriation of an additional $40 million in federal aid highway funds this year, Campbell said, but has authority to obligate only $10 million of it for this and the next fiscal year. He said $9 million of it will be spent on the state ferry system.

Federal highway monies are appropriated on an area-population formula, Campbell said. For Alaska, the matching ratio for highway construction is about 96 per cent federal money to 5 per cent state. But needed projects in which the federal government does not participate bring the actual participation ratio closer to 90-10, he said. Campbell says his department has begun channeling much of its effort toward expansion of the rural roads system. "This administration is trying to five kind of road to more people, rather than a few road; to a few," he said.

"With the last tion, it was urban areu first. We're still going to handle that, but we to compromise our standards a little bit and do I little more in rural areas, too." Campbell says he foresees no major problems for the highway department arising out of the west coast longshore strike, unless the strike is a particularly long one. And he says the highways department is planning itt work around a possible etrly start on tians-Altska pipeline construction. "Pipeline construction is going to require a tremendous logistics effort," he said. "Our highways are going to get extensive use.

Our highway program has been tied to it so the roads won't be torn up when needed." The commissioner says the department is delaying several projects now that are ready to go so the roads won't be blocked by construction in the are on the Richardson Highway south of Eielson Air Force Base, he says, and two are on the Elliott Highway between Fairbanks and Livengood.
