Firms Requested To Spend Less Here WASHINGTON (CP) -- The Johnson administration is ask- ing American business to cut foreign investments more next year in an effort to shave * $1,000,000,000 from the balance- of-payments deficit. This means that American- owned companies in Canada are being asked to spend less and invest less there. the United States by setting a less restrictive ceiling on bank loans to foreigners. The new foreign investment guidelines for U.S.-owned busi- nesses were announced by the White House Sunday. Though not pulsory, the guideli establish for the first time a specific maximum on business capital which can be sent abroad.

In return for the assurance of access to the U.S. money mar- ket, Canada agreed to gradu- ally lower its reserves of gold and U.S. dollars to a level of about $2,600,000,000, or $100,- 000,000 under the level agreed upon in 1963, Sharp said, Pres- ent Canadian reserves including credit total $2,900,000,000.

What the Johnson administra-| tion is trying to do is to reduce this year's expected record out- put of $3,400,000,000 for direct involvement around the world to $2,400,000,000 next year.

AP NHA MAT, South Viet Nam (AP)--A Viet Cong regi- ment with .50-calibre machine- guns set for a murderous cross- fire battered an American bat- talion Sunday in the hardest fighting the U.S. Ist Infantry Division has encountered in South Viet Nam. "God, they were firing from everywhere," one survivor re- ported. 'The .50-calibre was the worst. But they were in trees, in holes, everywhere. Some. even dressed like trees, and we only knew what they were when they fell or fired." U.S. casualties were heavy. The Americans said they were saved from being wiped out by U.S. jets which relentlessly ham- mered the Viet Cong. Meanwhile, the Viet Cong warned of "punishing new blows" against Saigon, similar to the terrorist attack on a U.S, servicemen's billet Saturday. »Eight persons were killed, in- cluding a New Zealander and an « American. The Viet Cong claimed the at- tack killed 200 U.S, jet pilots.

AN MMU GSR AL A RRO LAN U.K. Seen Defiant To Africa Powers | } | General DeGaulle Suffers 'Major Political Reverse By PETER BUCKLEY PARIS (CP) ---Charles de Gaulle must face the voters again in two weeks if he wants to remain president of France. The 7#year-old soldier-presi- dent took one of the sharpest re- | verses of his public career Sun- day when he failed by some 1,500,000 votes to get the abso- lute majority needed for elec- tion on the first ballot for the presidency. A surge of voting strength from a unified political left and the appearance of an attractive young candidate representing the. centre cut into de Gaulle's Support to an extent beyond the dreams of his: firmest oppo nents. So certain had he been of vie- jtory that the aloof wartime hero was persuaded only in the last week of the campaign to make an additional television appeal, after public opinion polls showed his support de- clining. De Gaulle now must go on to the ballot against Francois Mit- terrand, 49, a left-wing candi- date supported by both Social- ists and Communists, who placed second in Sunday's vote. The winner becomes president of the Fifth Republic for a seven-year term. Barring an upset that would be reckoned far greater. than Sunday's, de Gaulle could ex- pect to win by a comfortable majority in a two-man contest. There seemed little reason to doubt that de Gaulle will con- test the second ballot, to be held Dec. 19, although he kept his own counsel for the mo- ment. His closest supporters indi- cated firm belief that he will run, despite pre-election specu- lation that he might withdraw because of injured pride or bit- terness if the voters failed to |support him.

It had been the foremost of the congregations, or agencies, at the Vatican and had the title of Supreme Sacred Congrega- tion of the Holy -Office." Pope 'Paul today brought it down to the same level with the other congregations, delet- ing the word supreme and, giv- ing it a new title: The Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Perhaps no department of the Vatican has come under so much criticism from non-Catho- lics as the Holy Office. In the Vatican council itself bishops have described it as a scandal for non-Catholics, The dropping of the name Holy Office--dating from the 16th century Protestant Refor- mation--was viewed as a Chris- tian unity gesture toward pro- testants.
