"The only way to end the war ill Mozambique is for the Por-tcjaese to recognic the right of "t6c Mozambique people led by Krelimo to Independence," said Frelimo, the guerrilla movement in Mozambique. "The war will continue if the -junta's intention is to perpetuate the colonial system through new means," it added.

The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, one of the two main guerrilla groups in that territory, said it was prepared to negotiate "concerning the complete independence of our country." But it rejected the proposal by the leader of the junta. Gen. Antonio de Spmola, for federation of Portugal with her African colonies. Jn such a federation, would always have the List word," it said. "The power of the sl.ite ran only be in the hands of Angolans." The chain of events that ended In the military coup last week began with a book by Spinola in which he said Portugal never could win a military victory in its 13-year-old war against the African rebels.

But he reportedly told a meeting of politicians and newspaper editors Saturday that the African territories must be granted self-determination, not independence. Nixon to present Court to hear pollution fund withholding case WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court Monday agreed to decide whether Iresident Nixon acted within his powers in withholding $9 billion appropriated by Congress for water pollution control. The court will review next term a Court of Appeals decision striking down the impoundment of the funds by Russell Train, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, who acted on the President's orders. It was the first impoundment case to be brought before the Supreme Court by the government. It turns on statutory rather than constitutional grounds.

In the case presented to the high court, the impoundments were challenged by the City of New York and an organization called Campaign Clean Water. In 1972. Congress authorized appropriations not to exceed $5 billion for fiscal 1973. $6 billion for 1974 and $7 billion for fiscal 1975 for sewage treatment grants. Train allotted $2 billion for 1973.

$3 billion for 1974 and $4 billion for 1975. In a brief filed with the court, the government said the case "has important ramifications for the power of the executive branch to coordinate and control the federal government's spending process in light of the need for economic stability and the limitations on federal resources." "Courts have improperly cut into and endangered a discretion Congress intended the President to have," government attorneys told the court. Lawyers for the city, however, said allotment of the full amounts would not prevent the administration from asserting Its control over the actual spending of the money. "Spending occurs long after allotments are made and is subject to review and approval of detailed submissions for individual projects," they wrote. "Whatever executive control over the rate of actual spending was intended, it can be exercised at a later stage." Mitchell-Stans By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Syrian patrols raided an Israeli forward position on the Golan Heights before dawn Monday and "captured arms and ammunition left behind by fleeing enemy soldiers," the Syrian command reported.

A communique said the patrols all returned safely but made no mention of Israeli casualties. It said the target was Rasm el Khawaled. believed to be on the edge of the 300-square-mile salient Israel captured in the October war The Syrian command said two Israeli planes attacked Syrian positions on Mt. Hermon. overlooking the Heights, at dawn.

Another tornado was spotted north of Davenport, Iowa, while two twisters wound through portions of Texas near Goldsmith and Wellington. There were no other reports of injury or damage. Marble-size hail and heavy rains pelted areas of southeast Nebraska, while severe thunderstorms struck from western Texas to southern Wisconsin. Grain car supply down, says Weiland PIERRE (AP) Jack Weiland said Monday the available railroad grain car supply has dropped 24 per cent in the past 10 years. Weiland, Democratic candidate for Second District Congress, said the railroads had added a number of so-called hopper cars, but he said much of South Dakota's rail line is in such poor condition that it cannot accommodate the larger and more modern hoDDer cars.

"That's why the next grain-hauling capacity of the railroads in the state is decreasing," Weiland said in a statement. He also said the railroads are not using cars to best advantage, increasing shortages in the state.

In granting the delay, many comittee members, incluajjfg Chairman Peter W. Rodino said they hoped the request for more time to review the subpoenaed material was an indication that Nixon planned to supply everything called for in the subpoena.

But the committee appeared unanimous in its concern that the White House response might be edited transcripts. Even the President's strongest supporters seemed agreed that unless the committee has a role in verifying that all pertinent material rs included in the transcripts, they would not be acceptable. The White House response to the subpoena also will have tp be guided in part by Nixon's reaction to a committee request for still more tapes. That request for material related to the Watergate coverup, the ITT antitrust case and political contributions from the dairy industry was contained in a letter to James D. St.

Coming at a time of declining federal interest in impact aid, the change would be disastrous to these districts," Nelson said. "One should be aware that he. starts with one basic premise that public school financing has one major source of revenue, the local property tax. Attempts by the education community to change that reality have been shunned by the majority seated in our state legislature.

If an alternative source of revenue could be provided, say, an income tax, then income taxation could become a factor in the equalization formula. For that reason, it is illogical to criticize the equalization formula for its neglect of the income wealth of the local school district," Nelson said. A factor to consider sparsity population in a district would make the present formula more equitable, he said.

(From Page 1) the verdict was an example of the American system.

"One juror said the jury was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt," he said. "It was the duty of the jury to acquit." Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss. said the decision shows that the news media has been unfair.

"These two men were maligned and judged guilty in the press and the verdict of the jury proved them totally innocent," said Eastland, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. "It just proves you can get a fair trial if it is outside the realm of influence of the Washington press." Gordon Nelson A Maurice Stan fall for it' been different. It was absolutely not a waste. When there's evidence that people committed a crime, those crimes should be investigated and prosecuted." Vesco fled the country in the midst of an SEC investigation of his corporate activities and all efforts to bring him back failed. Mitchell and Stans were charged with, to obstruct an SEC fraud investigation of Vesco, who has corporate interests in such diverse locales as Hong Kong, Beirut and the Bahamas.

It was an influence peddling deal, the government said. The prosecution called it a "quid pro quo" something for something in return for Vesco $200,000. The cash was collected by Stans. who raised $t0 million for Nixon's 1972 campaign. Mitchell, 60.

a man of dry humor, was the law and order symbol of Nixon's first administration. He represented administration firmness against anti-war demonstrators during the late '60s and early 70s and pushed for a number of law and order measures. Mitchell now is estranged from his wife, Martha. Asked at his post-trial news conference whether he had talked to Martha since his acquittal, Mitchell asked: "Who?" Stans, a graying, well-tailored man, reached his 66th birthday midway in the 10-week trial. A certified public accountant, he was deputy postmaster and later budget director during the Eisenhower administration.

There was no suggestion in pages of trial testimony that Nixon had any part in the questionable exchange of Vesco's $200,000 contribution. And both Stans and Mitchell bridled when the suggestion was raised at their news conference. Stans admitted falsely testifying to the grand jury that indicted him with Mitchell. But he said it was not wilful perjury. He claimed that his wife's near-fatal illness in late 1972 left him so mentally tense and physically exhausted that his memory wavered under grand jury interrogation.

Business counseling draws 150 SIOUX FALLS More than 150 small business owners or prospective businessmen have received business management counseling in South Dakota this past year through a volunteer program, according to Chester Leedom, district director for the Small Business Administration (SBA). There are 61 retired or semi-retired businessmen available for this counseling service. "Through the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) and the Active Corps of Executives (ACE) programs, successful businessmen volunteer their time to assist other businessmen with management problems through observation and discussion of the day-to-day workings of his business. It is a person-to-person type of counseling and is strictly on a voluntary basis for both parties involved." Leedom stated. "Very often a businessman experiences difficulty with advertising, credit and collections, personnel, financing, merchandising, and other aspects of business management, but may not know where to find assistance.

"The voluntary assistance programs offered through SBA provide the businessman both assistance in identifying problems and an opportunity to obtain the help he needs without a suable expenditure on his part," said Leedom. Anyone interested in more information about the voluntary counseling programs may contact their local SBA office.

South Dakota Emergency Health Services and the Rapid City-Pennington County Civil Defense District are sponsoring the event, which is open to the public. Purpose of the orientation is to acquaint area residents with the equipment and potential of the National Disaster Hospital presently stored at the Rapid City Water Treatment Plant, which is available for immediate use in the event of disaster anywhere in the area.

It will also provide a training seminar for local medical personnel who would be required to staff the emergency hospital. The equipment will be displayed from 9 a.m. to 5 m. with personnel of the Emergency Health Services and Rapid City Fire Department on hand to answer questions. Medical personnel may practice assembling equipment.

Special lectures are scheduled at 10 a m. and 1 p.m. Speakers and their topics are: Dr. Charles Gwinn, "Triage and Sorting of Disaster Victims," and James Persons, South Dakota Health Department, "Natural Disaster Hospital Utilization and Staffing Requirements." A 30-minute color film, "Date With Disaster, a Model for Multi-Hospital Preparedness," will be shown after the lectures. (From Page 1) material from White House files.

The committee has subpoenaed tapes of 42 presidential conversations and a response is due by 8 a.m. MDT Tuesday. In addition, a subpoena requested by special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski that demanded tapes and records of 64 presidential conversations calls for a response Thursday. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said that "we have every intention" of meeting the Tuesday deadline for an answer to the House committee subpoena.

Richardson said supplying the transcripts of the tapes would not meet the order of the committee's subpoena. He also said that "the case is close," about whether there was sufficient evidence to prove Nixon had committed an indictable offense. Richardson resigned Oct. 10 rather than fire then-special prosecutor Archibald Cox. He was interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press." Asked why he felt the possibility of an indictable offense against Nixon was "close," Richardson said: "What would bother me is the pattern.

The direct answer is I don't think that the evidence is sufficient in any given situation: Milk, ITT, cover-up of waiergaie, 10 uirectiy uic icsiucuii uut cumulative pattern of these things surrounding the President, in each case involving somebody next to him in respon-sibility, creates a really troublesome question.

The hypothetical change would entail the theoretical "A switch from the present method of allocating state school aid to a flat grant per pupil would completely negate the state's role in equalizing the financial ability of schcH dis- tricts and be disastrous to federally impacted schools," said Gordon Nelson, executive secretary of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota. In a study released in the Range of cost in educating a child (Some 12 independent districts which in some way violate were omitted from his listing.) It comes as little surprise to taxpayers that educating youngsters is an expensive business.

However, some taxpayers may be a bit surprised at the broad range of the costs from school district to school district across South A recent study by Gordon Nelson, executive secretary of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, compares these costs for the 1972-73 school year. It also compares the taxes raised per resident child in the districts and the costs per classroom unit. The study shows the annual cost of educating a child in a 12-year school district in the state in 1972-73 ranged from a low of $629.63 in Stickney to a high of $1,322.96 in Forestburg. The midpoint (median) in the range was $810.26 in Letcher. The amount of local property taxes raised per resident school child ranged from $1,258 at Forestburg to $340 in Sisseton.

The median was $602 at Burke and Scotland. Annual classroom unit costs ranged from $21,542 in White River to $12,114 in Ethan. The midpoint was $14,653 at Pierre. Nelson reported that the per-pupil costs having a direct relationship with the higher cost for teacher salaries were $50 more in 1972-73 than in the previous year. He cautioned those who would compare costs only that these "figures show only what is being spent and give no clear indication as to the quality of education being purchased." He also noted that "median per pupil costs decrease as the enrollment of the district increases:" that "extremely high costs are not present in districts with a total kindergarten through grade 12 enrollment of over 480," and that "the range generally narrows as the enrollment size of the district increases." The following lists compare Nelson's findings for 10 of the larger schools in South Dakota and also for those in the West River area, listed alphabetically.

The first figure is the per pupil cost, the second is the amount of tax dollars raised per resident school child, and the third figure is the classroom unit cost all rounded off to the nearest dollar. The number in parentheses following each of the three figures is the rank of the school district among the 175 districts Nelson included in his table, listed from the highest figure to the lowest (No. 1 would indicate the largest.
