Nixon he wanted to leave his Government position but said he had not submitted a resignation.

"I discussed with the President months ago my desire to devote myself in the years just ahead in a private capacity rather than a public capacity," Romney said. "The President asked me to stay on and deal with the problems of housing and the cities. I have done that." He met with Mr. Nixon earlier today at the White House. "He has asked me to help secure the federal leadership required to mount an effective effort in Luzerne County, Pa Romney refused to answer questions as to whether he intended to resign in the coming months.

However, he said, "I have in mind what I'm going to do." Romney said he would determine when he would leave and he denied that his relationship with Mr. Nixon had deteriorated in the past year. Romney indicated that there had been some disagreement between him and Mr. Nixon on had made on hig life since iL. .1.1.

Informed observers said it now seemed improbable that any -t -w a legislation would be passed in this session of Congress. Jht House went on to pass by a 221-to-172 voie the foreign aid bill, which authorizes 2.1 billion dollars in military assistance in the current fiscal year, about jni nnn rtnn 1rce than rainpctod by the Administration. However, the future of the arms assistance program remained in doubt.

The Senate, after having adopted an end-the-war amendment, then rejected its version of the aid bill last month. The Administration must find a way to revive the aid bill in the Senate or devise parliamentary means of keeping the military aid a going, perhaps at a reduced level The measure includes nearly 1 billion dollaHs of South Viet-nam and other nations fighting in Indochina.

Nixon's public negotiating offer to the Communists calls for a U.S. military withdrawal from South Vietnam four months after release of American prisoners and establishment of an internationally supervised cease-fire throughout Indochina. Supporters of the measure ad- mitted that its passage would not in itself have forced The President to take the United States out of the war.

By FRED W. LINDECKE Missouri Political Correspondent Of the Post-Dispatch David Donnelly, a Lebanon lawyer and son of former Gov. Phil M. Donnelly, today was recommended to be chairman of the state Democratic Party by Edward L. Dowd, Democratic candidate for governor, and his four running mates on the state Democratic ticket.

Donnelly was chosen unanimously at a meeting at the Cheshire Inn. The meeting was attended by Dowd and other winners in Tuesday's primary. In a statement issued by the they said, Donnelly's name was well established in Missouri. They said he was not a professional politician and he brought "a new face and a fresh start to this post." Outgoing Democratic governor Warren E. Hearnes endorsed the choice of Donnelly, saying that "he stands for everything good in Missouri politics." The state Democratic committee will meet on Sept.

12 to vote on the selection of Donnelly. If elected, Donnelly will succeed Delton L. Houtchens, who is retiring after eight years under Hearnes. Donnelly is from the predominantly Republican Seventh Congressional District in southwest Missouri, and Dowd and his running mates say they hope that his selection will bring strength to the party ticket from that area. During his 25 years as a lawyer, Donnelly has been an assistant attorney general, prose cuting attorney of Laclede anon, and circuit judge of the state Board of Law Examiners.
