He emphasized the measure makes no assumption that con- sumer credit is bad or that large numbers of lenders en- gage in deceitful practices. However, Proxmire said many borrowers are confused about what they pay for credit and occasionally there are unscrup- ulous lenders who prey upon the poor.

Administration Refuses Nigerian Aid Request; New Vietnam Is Feared Reuther said workers should get bonuses based on profits at the end of the fiscal year just as company executives get bonuses and stockholders get extra divi- dends.

But he told newsmen that 20 years ago the union was firmly opposed to any profit-sharing plan.

By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) - The Johnson administration rejected rebellion-torn Nigeria's request for military aid just as edgy congressional leaders began fuming that such help, coupled with earlier dispatch of U.S. planes to the Congo, could invite Communist meddling in Africa. A congressional uproar Mon- day greeted Sunday's announce- ment that three transport planes and 150 men had been sent to the Congo, torn by a mercenary-led rebellion. Hours later, just as Capitol Hill began sounding off against a hint that such aid might go to •Nigeria, too, the State Depart -ment turned down Nigeria's re- quest, saying its rebellion was purely internal. In almost, the same breath that some congressmen ex- pressed fears of a Vietnam-type involvement in Africa, they dis- counted the optimistic report from Secretary of Defense Rob- ert S.

The automotive big three— GM, Ford and Chrysler—thus far have been adamant in their opposition to the concept. As they opened negotiations, both the UAW and GM attempt- ed to cool off speculation about the possibility of a strike. Both Reuther and Seaton told newsmen that they were ready to bargain in good faith and are hopeful that there will be no walkouts after contracts expire Sept. 6. But both sides have said pri- vately that several \strikable issues\ are among the union's demands which Reuther has described as the \longest and most ambitious\ list ever presented. They include a substantial wage increase, a guaranteed annual income, wage parity for Canadian workers and a limit on subcontracting which the UAW says takes jobs away from its members. elated\ and \very thankful\ j araTncr^he^centraT'Eovernmenr' es he! d by mutinous mercenar- ,for the doctors' encouraging! again f, e f nt ^ al gove ^ e fiies in Kisangani, Belgian radio 'prophecy Nsukka, 15 miles south of the] reported ' The hospital director and I N'gerian-Biafran border, is aj chief surgeon, Dr. R.
