Demos Work To Block Funds For Indochina Military
In Washington Democratic efforts in Congress to block the Nixon administration's 150 million dollar request for Indochina military operations focus on the House Appropriations Committee. Rep Joseph P Addabbo says his amendment would deny approval of the spending while not cutting Cambodia funds. Sen Charles Mathias plans a Senate resolution asserting constitutional limits on actions in Indochina. Senate Democrats oppose new money for U S military activity in Cambodia, favoring restraint and tying funds to cease fire terms. A House subcommittee backed a war powers bill requiring the president to withdraw abroad within 120 days unless Congress authorizes continued commitment.

New POW Doctrines Proposed by U S Repatriates
Senior repatriated U S war prisoners urge changes to POW doctrines to specify how far prisoners may go beyond name, rank, service number and date of birth under torture or duress. They seek guidance on what may be said and how to fake information convincingly, citing past propaganda under duress. The proposals target Joint Chiefs and Pentagon leaders, referencing the 1955 Military Code of Conduct.
