Washington AP reports an administration source warns SALT talks may fail if the Soviet Union pursues a hard line. The official said failure would reflect a political decision by the Soviets, even as Nixon mood shifted from optimism to cautious optimism. Substantive replies in Helsinki and Vienna rounds are noted, amid violations of the Mideast cease fire and concerns over trust in disarmament assurances.

Anticrime Bill Advances With Tough Provisions
Washington AP Under pressure from the administration and GOP leaders a Judiciary subcommittee moved toward approval of a hard anticrime bill aimed at organized crime. The measure, led by Emanuel Celler, closely mirrors a Senate version and adds a new explosives section. It sets licensing for explosives, bans sales to under 21s and certain others, and contemplates the death penalty in bombing deaths. The bill strengthens grand juries and witness protections while expanding authority to combat gambling and racketeering. Critics warn of constitutional issues and repressive features.
