as trucks have to get off the big interstate highways to make pickups and deliveries, they presumably would be permitted on smaller roads as well.
The bill would allow an increase in maximum width from 8 to 8 ^ feet (plus side mirrors and other outcrop-pings), and it contains a formula that would increase maximum loaded w e i g h t from 73.280 pounds, to 108,-500 pounds.
For the first time the bill contains a length limit—of 70 feet. Only two of the 48 contiguous states now permit trucks that long in general use, though larger trucks operate under special use permit in several states. Rep. Fred Schwengel. R., Iowa, who has led the fight against

During the campaign last fall, President Nixon promised to "take a hard new look" at the trucking bill to "make certain that the interest of the traveling public and also the life of our highways are fully protected." The administration will testify to conclude the hearings

now appear to be having second thoughts because of public criticism. '
The bill was denounced as an "anti-safety bill" by the American Automobile Association. It was defended by trucking interests as a means of enabling construction of safer trucks and as a long overdue unfreezing of truck size limits set by the 1956 highway act. For truckers, bigger vehicles mean bigger loads and more profits.
Bill Is Permissive
The measure is called a permissive bill, as it would merely permit the states to authorize larger truck sizes

PARIS (UPI)-A diplomat said today there little hope for progress at the Vietnam peace talks unless the Communists drop their demand for a "confession of guilt" from the United States.
The diplomat, who asked not to be identified, said Allied and Communist negotiators ba^vance talked themselves into an almost unbreakable deadlock by-bogging down in arguments over who started the war.
"The problem r e v o l v e s around once central points," he said. "The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong want a confession of guilt from the United States. And if they got it, there would be nothing left to negotiate."
The diplomat said if the United States admits to Communist Accusations that it is guilty of aggression against Vietnam, "it would follow that the United States would have to withdraw unconditionally as the Communists demand."
He added that ft the United States agreed to withdraw unconditionally, the Communists would say it proved the United States was guilty of aggression and had to withdraw.

comforts that she had grown so used to receiving from a much larger staff during her years at the White House.
"Her staff's attitude, as far as I could see, puzzled her," she writes. Mrs. Kennedy used two Navy stewards assigned to cook for her as "butlers and moving men" in addition to their regular duties," she says.
Mrs. Gallagher was not pleased when Mrs. Kennedy, on moving from Washington to New York, informed her,by long distance telephone that her secretarial services would no longer be required. .
"Actually, moving to New York had been the very least of my desires and expectations, but I had hoped and expected that, when the time would come for Jackie to announce she no longer needed the, it would be in a warm, face-to-face manner. Obviously, I had expected too much," Mrs. Gallagher writes.
Despite their differences, Mrs. Gallagher says, she and Mrs. Kennedy parted as friends and she is grateful for having had the opportunity to "put one foot in Camelot."

T i m t i Wathlngton Buraau
WASHINGTON—Rep. Robert C. McEwen, R., Ogdens-burg, N. Y., today advocated a "more moderate," stance for Senator Charles E. Good-ell's political future.
T h e congressman s a i d there was an upstate acceptance of Sen. Jacob J. Javits' liberal views because he came from New York City, but Gobdcll's upstate background produced a different reaction among local GOP leaders.
Noting the s u c c e s s f u l transformation of f o r m e r Sen. Kenneth B. Keating from a conservative Representative to a liberal Senator, McEwen commented, with a smile, "Maybe Sen. Goodell should study the Keating Technique."
McEwen said, Goodell was not in as good political shape as he would like him to be.
"He could improve his position in my district, if he would conduct himself more as he did when he was the Representative of h i s congressional district in western New York," McEwen said.
The northern New Yorker noted there were already
forts, urging immediate ratification of nuclear non-proliferation treaty and confirmation of Abe Fortas as Chief Justice of the United States.
"Any one of those things would have engendered soma opposition, but all three camo in rapid succession,^' he said.
Since then Goodell's position against deploying t h e
several possible senatorial!anti-ballistic missile and for opponents to Goodell in the|broader draft exemptions for
conscicncious objectors have representative camp with the possibility of convention or primary challenges, but he did not know how far these would go.
The attitude of county chairmen would depend on who issued the challenge and what choice they had, he said. McEwen said leaders in all north counties had expressed some dissatisfaction w i t h Goodell, especially with state ments he made in the f a l l campaign criticizing candi date Richard M. Nixon's ef
upset upstaters, he added. McEwen pointed out most
members of the House took more conservative positions on these issues because they did not plan to run for the Senate.
Expressing personal friendship for Goodell, McEwen indicated there was plenty of time left before party leaders had to make up their minds, about avoiding or supporting a contest for the senate nomi* nation.
