FOK M FAVOR DELAY TACTICS
Expect Maneuvers to Ultimately Defeat Power Agreement
WASHINGTON (UV-Democratic foe* of th* controvereial Dixon- Yates power contract have shelved, for the time being at least, their plan for Senate-House action to kill it, congreesional sources said yesterday.
Instead, they will undertake a variety of maneuvers designed to delay—and ultimately defeat—the power agreement. The firat of the stepa may b« forthcoming next week, they said.
Th* new atrategy resulted from a aecret huddl* of Democratic members of th* Cong^reasion-al Atomic Energy Committee. The new approach waa said to repre eent tha con8*nsua of Democrats present
WiU BuUd Plant
Under the contract, the Dixon Yatea utility group, which includes Middle South Utilities Inc. and the Southern Co., will build a 107 mil¬ lion dollar rsteam plant* with a 600,000 kilowatt power capacity at West Memphis, Ark., and' sell power to the Atomic Energy Com mission. Power would be deliv ered to the Tenne*iee Valley Authority at Memphis, to replace power BUpplied by TVA to AEC installationa eloewhere.
Chairman Clinton P.'Anderson D-NM of the Congreesional Atom¬ ic Committee, haa stated that some action will be taken before Feb. 15 sinc^ the contract can be can¬ celled by either party without pen, alty until that time. Under the new strategy, howevor, it appears all but certeln that the ettion will be taken Vy the coi/imittee rather than the Senate and he House.

Democrata will blast the con- Ipftct, perhape this week, in their "minority" report on the com¬ mittee's waiver, during the con¬ gressional recess, of its 30-day review period while Congress was in aeaelon.

Some Relatives Plan to Visit China, Travel Aid Offered
W.ASHINGTON (tP) — Govern¬ ment and congressional sources warned yesterday that families of 17 Americans Imprisoned in China will fall into a Red propaganda trap If they accept the Oommu nist Invitation to visit their kin.
"Even if they (the families) found them bleeding from every por^," said Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD), "the Communists could tell them, "You've got to aay the boys are fai good ahap* or we'll hang your son.'"
'Red Raciief
Other key senators echoed Mundt's view. Sen. Alexander Wiley (R-Wls) termed the Red invitation "another example of the Red racket of holding hos¬ tages and requiring payments, either In phony praise or In money and cooperation."
The State Department, reluct ant to ban the proposed trips to Red China, warned that the Com munist propaganda trap had been baited two ways: to capitalize on the visits, if they materize; and to blast this government aa brutal and arbitrary If it would not au¬ thorize the trips. Not Decided
The department, which has a final say-so on such matters, had not decided finally whether to lift, its long-standing ban on travel to Communist China and to issue the necessary travel per¬ mits.    ¦"
It frankly was hoping families of the imprisoned li Air Force men and two civilians would de¬ cide on their own not to go. De¬ partment spokesman Henry Suy- dam concedes Friday that the fam¬ ilies face a "harrowing dilemma.'
Offers were mounting mean¬ time to help arrange and pay for travel of those deciding to make the trip. A number of kin had announced they were interested. Red Crosa Assistance

Costa Rico Revolt Ends; Loyalist Patrols Clash

SAN .TOSE, CosU Rica. (ID- Costa     Rican     President    Jose
armed rebels have taken refuge in the demilitarized neutral sone along the Niraraguan border, and he warned that the revo¬ lutionary danger has not ended.
SAN JOSE. CosU Rica (IP) — Loyalist forces Saturday suffered their heaviest loss in a single bat tie of the 11-day revolution when two government patrols fought a pitched battle against each other in the confusion of the pre-dawn darkness.
The government patrols were out to mop up rebel remnants near the Nicaraguan border after the short-lived revolution collaps¬ ed Friday. Stumble On Each Other
In a tragic mistake, the com¬ bat-jittery volunteers stumbled on to each other near EH Amo Air¬ field outside !.« Cruz and opened fire.
Three loyalists were killed and eight others wounded, the general sUff reported, before the untrain¬ ed loyalist troops could be ordered to cease firing. Casualties in War
The rebels killed seven loyalists and Wounded 20 others before the green loyalists army put down the uprising.
The two patrols were trying to prevent rebel leaders from slip¬ ping across the border into Nica¬ ragua. Most of the rebel troops who gave up fighting Friday have retreated into the demilitarized zone created between Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Only small pockeU of rebels are still acattered on the north¬ western  CosU Rican  battlefield.
The bulk of the 3,000-man army of week-end soldiers and volun¬ teers who defeated the approxi¬ mately 900 rebels yesterday were marching from the battlefield to this capital for a "victory parade."
Victory Celebration
President Jose Figucres said his makeshift army would march in a "big victory parade Sunday." The loyalists had stopped the In¬ surgents just south of the Nicara¬ guan border.
The 42-year-old president, edu¬ cated at the Massachusetts Insti¬ tute of Technology, said he \vttn "appalled by the stupidity of the military planning" that cost the insurgents their chance of win¬ ning the revolution.
"They, the rebels, were Just Cal- deronistaa u.sed by Nicaraguan President AnasUsio Somosa," Fl¬ gueres said. "I just can't get over how stupid their planning was. It was sheer nonsense, all Illusions."
