Philippines risks with U.S. bases seen as bargaining ploy
Philippine officials reject a new U.S. bases pact while allowing talk of a $1 billion five year aid package. Foreign Secretary Romulo says no agreement yet and there is pressure to sign, but Manila seeks sovereignty safeguards and rental terms. Observers see a strategic move to boost nonaligned stature amid a Carter administration transition.
