Nixon spent three hours in conference with the National Security Council at his villa by the sea here, and afterwards press secretary Ronald Ziegler told newsmen Nixon and his top advisers were keeping a close eye on the in' creased action.

The south has a population of 2,910,003; the north, 1,502,000. By The Associated Press -- the THE DISPUTE: Roman Catholics, outnumbered two to one by Protestants in northern Ireland, claim they are subject to discrimination in such matters as jobs, housing THE POLITICS: The north is dominated by the Unionist party, which is Protestant, related to the British Conservatives and devoted to northern Irelands ties to Britain. The Nationalists who are Catholic, are sprung from the rebels who fought England a half century ago. The y Protestant majority means that the Nationalists are outvoted on major issues. North Irelands government, under new leadership, has moved to meet some of the Catholics complaints, but the pace has not satisfied many of them. The situation has been aggravated by extremists. and voting. anti-Briti- THE CAUSES: The trouble is rooted in the history of Ireland; first under English domination and then in an Ireland divided between the predominantly Catholic south and die , mainly Protestant north.

Ziegler said the subject of troop withdrawal did not come up at the council meeting, but Nixou and his senior advisers are watching the renewed flareup "very carefully. Ziegler said U.S. force levels still will depend on three criteria outlined at Nixons' midway meeting with President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam the level of enemy activity, progress in the Paris talks and the ability of the South Vietnamese to take over the fighting from American units. He said no final decision has been made on additional withdrawals, despite reports Nixon had set a goal of reducing the basic American forces in Vietnam to 400,000 by the end of the year.

The department had suspended pest control proprams on July 9 for 30 days to permit study of contamination by the pesticides. The suspension was continued until Sept. 14 for federal pest control at military and civilian airports. J. Phil Undersecretary Campbell said the additional time was needed for further study of the airport spraying programs. Campbell said that in the cooperative federal-stat- e programs DDT, dieldrin and heptachlor would be at least partially replaced by other less persistent chemicals, including chlordane. In examining our program on a basis, Campbell said in a statement, we have retained the use of persistent pesticides only in those instances where there are no effective, less persiscase-by-ca- tent alternatives. Private use of pesticides was not affected by either the July suspension or the new cutback. Campbell said the Federal Committee on Pest Control concurred in the reductions. Canada Blocks U.S. Train Loaded With Killer Gas By The Associated Press One of two trains carrying canisters of World War I kill- er gas across the country ran into a legal block along a scheduled shortcut through Canada today. The gas is being tians-porte- d from Colorado. One train was headed for industrial purchasers in Louisiana and the other to Lockport, N.Y. But at Windsor, Ont., the district collector of customs, Hartley Purvis, issued an order pro hibiting the Lockport-bountrain of the and Ohio Rail- Chesapeake d jf road from southern passing through Ontario. Some U.S. rail routes go along the north shore of Lake Erie as a shortcut on their runs. The train carrying the gas was due to enter Canada at Windsor tonight, travel through St. Thomas and Welland and return to U.S. terri- tory at Niagara Falls early Saturaay. Purvis said: I notified the railway officials and our officers shortly after I received a call from Robert Elley, in charge of our rail, air, marine customs division. He added that the shipment is banned under the Customs Tariff Act Meanwhile, the train sat on a Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad siding in northwest Indiana after two faulty starts toward its New York destination. The train first was moved Chicago to yards ' in Hammond, Ind., then to Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad yards in East Chicago, Ind. The cars cf gas canisters then were rolled to the C&O tracks near the Inland Steel Co. complex in East Chicago and apparently were on the way. Hours later, at 11:30 a.m., EDT, they had moved only a quarter-mil- e from the steel mill area. from |
