WASHINGTON (AP)--The pay board today lopped off about one-fourth of a big raise for the west coast dock workers. The move is almost cer- tain to provoke a renewed shutdown of pacific ports and perhaps east and gulf ports too. The board calculated the longshoremen's raise as a 20.9 per cent increase in the first year. That was disapproved by a vote of 8 to 5. The board then authorized its chairman, George H. Boldt, to approve a reduced settlement of 14.9 per cent. However, Harry Bridges, president of the International Longshore- men's and Warehousemen's Union, has threatened to strike if the board cut the contract "by as much as one cent." Sources said Bridges would issue a statement on the board's action in San Francisco later in the day. In San Francisco, Charles Velson, Bridges' administrative assistant, said, "we're not going to have anything to say right away."

WASHINGTON (AP)--President Nixon has set May 22 as the start- ing date for his visit to Moscow for the second summit talks with Communist leaders aimed at "enhancing the prospects for world peace." The White House announced the date yesterday and said Nixon probably would spend a week in the Soviet Union--about the same time he spent in mainland China last month. There were still few details of the visit or whether the President and Mrs. Nixon, who is going along, will travel to any other \cities in the Soviet Union. Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said there has been no de- cision on whether Nixon will also visit another country. So far,.though, Ziegler said there were no such plans and he would not discuss speculation on any particular country includ- ing reports that Nixon might go to Poland. Because of the eight-hour time difference, Ziegler said, the President might make a rest stop en route to Moscow as he did on the way to Peking, but the visit in Moscow itself starts May 22. A working delegation will accompany the President, including RICHARD M. NIKON Secretary of State William P. Rogers and national security adviser Henry Kissingei.
