By HOBBRT TUCKMANSAIGON, South Viet Nam
(AP) — The U.S. Command an-,nouMed today that 243 Ameiican planes have been shot downover North Viet Nam sine*bombings north of the 17th Parallel began months ago.
An official spokesman alsoreported that 104 U.S. planeshave" been hut to enemy actionin Sovth Viet Nan since Janu-ary OIL
TheT total for losses over NorthViet'.Warn was almost entirelyfront-enemy ground fire. Onlytwo V.S. planes have been shotdowirby Communist MIGs. Thespokesman said the figure cov-ered; losses since Feb. 7, 1965,when the United States beganair attacks on North Viet Nam,UP to last Wednesday.

losses came as the war in VietNam slackened considerablyboth in the air and on theground.
While the official spokesmangave no breakdown of thefigures, military observer saidthe losses for the first 90 days
this year ran higher than thefirst 90 days when bombings inthe north began last year.
One reason for the increase isthat the United States is puttingmore planes over the north. An-other is that the Communist an-t j a i r c r a f t defenses have
strengthened and their marks-manship has improved.
One Air Force officer com.mented: "The North Vietnamese are probably the best an-tiaircraft gunners around jusnow because of all tBe expeii-ence they are getting."
Committee Chairmen, Not President,Hold Red Power In Administration
A_ :iNGTON (AP)-Thenotion that Congress is a "rub-ber stamp" for President John-son has been chal'.nged by oneof the real rulers of CapitolHill — Rep. Wilbur D. Mills.
Mills, Arkansas Democratwho is chairman of the HouseWays and Means Committee,shel.'ed two administration pro-posals last week, illustrating afact that the public sometimesforgets.
In Congress, the chairmen ofthe committees call the shots,not the President.
Mills put aside administrationbills that would have liberalizedtrade with Communist nationsin Eastern Europe and re-vamped state unemploymentinsurance systems.
"I am not for it," he said, inannouncing he would not evenintroduce the trade bill.
"Federal standards are out,"he said in disclosing that hiscommittee had cut the heart outof the administration's unem-ployment insurance bill andwould write a new one followingsuggestions made by the states.
White House press secretaryBill D. Moyers. asked Fridayfor Johnson's reaction to Mills'decision not to introduce thetrade bill, said the Presidentstill hopes Congress will act assoon as possible on the meas-ure.
Another illustration of ichairman's power was furnished recently by Rep. AdamClayton Powell, D-N.Y., whenhe refused to call up an admin-istration-backed bill already ap-p.-ved by his Education andLabor Committee that wouldpermit onsite picketing by construction unions.
Hundreds Still SearchFor Missing Pennsy Girl
Powell's stand demonstratedthat a determined chairman caneven override the speaker of theHouse. Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., !s reported tobe strongly committed to passage of the bill. But unless Powell changes his mind, there wfflbe no situs picketing bill thisyear.
Chairman get their broadpowers from the House rulesbut po-.er must be wielded boldly to be effective. And they haveto have the support of a majority of their committee members.
Mills commands support Inthe Ways and Means Committeethrough a brilliant combinationof political skill, legislative acumen and knowledge of his sub-ject.
Powell plays rough. "Remember, I have to sign your travelvouchers," he tells membersrepeat, 'ly to forestall any at-tempts to override him.
Some chairmen make al-iances to command a majority.
But others fail to use the pow-er and become captives of moreaggressive junior members whodo.
SHADE GAP, Pa. (AP)-Hun-dreds of volunteers swarmed tothe picnic grounds here todayto resume the massive search
for for Peggy Ann Bradnick, a 17-year-old girl feared kidnaped bya mysterious sniper known toresidents of this rural areaas the "mountain man."

Anti- Draft Data Battle EndsBy LAWRENCE L. KNUTSONCHICAGO (AP) - A loud
knocking on the door of Univer-ity of Chicago Presidenteorge W. Beadle's home
marked the formal end of aass student demonstration
gainst the school's policy ofipplying information to draft
wards.But President Beadle was not
home Friday night to receivethe message, so a declarationoutlining the students' stand
ws slipped under his frontoor.Moments earlier, most of the
350 students who had occupiednd controlled the administra-on building since Wednesdayled across the darkened cam-us, blending freedom songs•rth the chimes of the universi-/ carillon.They left behind a token force
[ 25 protestors to maintain a4-hour-a-day sit-in.Their declaration said the de-sion to withdraw most of theemonstrators marked theKginning of the second phase ofieir protest.They said they would contact
ach faculty member to outlinethe student's position, then rally
rednesday to reassess theirosition."We shall permit free accessand operation of the building
y the administration, as longs they act in good faith," thetatement said.
'At the same time,".it contined, "we intend to continue to
use it as a forum for communiation and information aboutur aims."The statement said a universi
announcement that the stuents would be regarded as parcipants in resolving the draft
nformation policy would be re-arded as an act of good faith.Earlier, Beadle had said in a
tatement that seizure, of theuilding was a "coercive tac-
tic."The university's policy with
espect to student defermenteniains as it was. We will onlyrovide grades and class stand-
ing information to selective
services at the request of theparticular student," Beadlesaid.
The demonstrators argue thata student who refuses to askthat the information be sent toSelective Service jeopardizeshimself with his draft board.
The students made their deci-sion after a meeting that began
at 9:30 a.m. Friday and didn'tbreak up until shortly after 7p.m.
They dispatched cleanupsquads throughout the six-sto'rybuilding to clear away moundsof paper, coffee cups and ciga-rette butts.
"Hey, where's the garbage?"someone yelled as he dragged a
canvas sack through » aid*door. "It's all over the piae»,"was the answer.
Earlier, 40 graduate studentsset up a picket line before thebuilding, carrying signs whichread: "Take baths, not ourrights," "Democracy, not anar-chy," "Free discussion, notcoercion."
