The committee voted 27 to 11 Saturday night to recommend Nixon's impeachment for having "prevented, obstructed and impeded administration of justice" in the Watergate cover-up. A 1 1 21 Democrats and six of the 17 Republicans on the committee voted for the article of impeachment. Senate Majority Whip Robert C. Byrd, W.Va., predicted Sunday that the House will impeach Nixon.

He said the votes were not yet present for a Senate conviction, but that "the possibilities for conviction, I think, are growing daily." A majority vote in the House is needed for impeachment, with a two-thirds vote required in the Senate for conviction and removal from office. ONE OF THE six committee Republicans who voted for the impeachment recommendation, Rep. L. Caldwell Butler of Virginia, said Sunday that he expects the vote in the full House to mirror the margin in the committee. Appearing on the CBS program "Face the Nation," Butler predicted at least one-third of the 188 Republicans in the House would vote for impeachment.

ANOTHER committee member, Rep. Ray Thornton, D-. predicted on the same program that a number of Southern Democrats also will support impeachment. Rep. Paul Sarbanes, of the impeachment article approved Saturday night, told newsmen, "I think the judgment reached by a 70 I percent majority of the com-; mittee Will have an impact on -the House."

1IOW YOU HOSTAGES REMAIN Demand Drought Hits U.S.. Crops Are Failing By Unlttd Pr International A merciless, searing drought is drying up the U.S. midlands and it is probably too late to save billions of dollars in crops and livestock. If rain, and lots of it, does not come soon, the situation can only get a great deal worse, state officials and experts said. the drought of 1974 probably will mean climbing prices at the supermarkets.

Administration hopes for bumper crops which could drive down prices and still keep farmers happy seem sure to be disappointed in some of the nation's richest farm and ranch country. IN MICHIGAN, the National Weather Service said that if no more rain falls in the slate during the last few days of July, this will be the driest July on record. Only 0.24 of an inch has fallen over the state this month, compared with an average July rainfall of 3.10 inches. The previous low rainfall was recorded in July 1930 when 0.50 of an inch fell around the state. In Nebraska, there is talk that this drought could be worse than the disaster years of the 1930s.

Meteorologists have speculated that the summer's sizzling dry spell might be the start of a drought cycle such as Nebraska suffered in the '30s. Appeals for federal aid in the form of easier farm loans and higher prices are going out from state capitols. E. L.

The Athens government announced that it had requested a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, but at the United Nations, new Greek Ambassador Denis Carayannis said his government had decided not to do so because of "some fresh hope" at Geneva. The council nevertheless met Sunday night. The special session was asked for by the Soviet Union because it said "the fighting is still going on" on Cyprus and "a threat to international peace and security continues." The Greek government announcement said it also wanted a meeting Of the NATO foreign ministers because of its trouble with its North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally.
