Members then passed and sent to the Senate a $3.43 billion authorization for the Space Agency in the 12 months starting July 1, a sum exceeding President Nixon's budget request by $162 million. The authorization subject to an actual appropriations would still to be approved cover among major items the manned remaining Apollo moon missions ending in December, 1972. three Spps Defeat Peter Rep. A. Peyser, his amendment to cut $300 million from the bill and lop off the final two Apollo shots, set for sa'v ., defeat of next year. Peyser said Apollo flights 16 and 17 would largely duplicate earlier ventures and that the money could be better spent on mass transit for big ;city dwellers. S. Bella Abzug, proposed to trim the bill by $125 million, the sum earmarked for development of a reusable space shuttle designed to carry men to and from orbiting stations. Rep. Voice Vote Like that of Peyser, the Abzug amendment was handily rejected by voice vote. With the amendments out of the way, the bill was passed on a roll call, 362 to 64. A similar measure is awaiting approval of the Senate Space Committee next week. Suits Private civil rights lawyers and Justice Department lawyers, who nave been at odds over the voting rights enforcement policies of Attorney General John N.

Committee Acts To Establish Obscenity Rules WASHINGTON (API proposal to rewrite the preme Court's obscenity - A Su- defi- nition by act of Congress and also to put tighter curbs on smut mailing was advanced through committee Thursday. The bill cleared the House Post Office Committee 16 to 2. No date is set for House action. Rep., K. Morris Udall, one of the opponents, said Congress cannot impose its owm definition of obscenity when the final decision is up to the courts. , I dont think were going to achieve any more by going further down this road. Udall said. We pass obscenity laws every year. We pass the law- and the courts either trim it down or declare it unoonstituional." The other negative vote was cast by Rep. Charles H.
