LONDON Governor George Wallace in a happy mood at meeting with Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, Conservative Party leader, in her office in the House of Commons. Wallace flies to Brussels later today. (UPlTelephoto) Flies to Belgium Wallace meets British leaders, appears on TV LONDON (UPI) Alabama Gov. George Wallace swept under Big Ben and into the historic Parliament complex today to meet Conservative opposition leader Margaret Thatcher.

A three-car convoy, with Wallace in a silver limousine, drove through New Palace Yard as the hands of the big clock showed 11:40 a.m. under gray skies that carried the chill of winter to the British capital. Aides lifted Wallace from the car into his wheelchair and, after he bade his wife, Cornelia, and their three children goodby, pushed him into the building and through the ornate corridors to Mrs. Thatcher's office. Mrs.

Wallace and the children daughter Lee, 14, and sons Jim, 13, and Josh, ll went on a sightseeing tour. It was the second day of Wallace's first European tour, a 13-day visit designed to broaden not only his foreign policy background but also his voter appeal for the 1976 Presidential campaign. He is a Democratic hopeful. During his two-day stay in Britain, Wallace has striven to present himself as the guardian of America's middle class from too much government and, therefore, excessive taxation and federal spending. He and Mrs.

Thatcher, during their 30- minute meeting, found common ground on these issues. Dalai Lama supporters "I had a lovely talk with a lovely lady," Wallace said afterwards. Then, balancing things politically, he added "The prime minister is a fine man, too." He said he and Mrs. Thatcher discussed "matters affecting the whole Free World and, in particular, the close alignment of Great Britain and the United States in NATO. "I'm convinced that the free continue to survive if we can overcome some of the problems we now face." Wallace appeared on British television to set forth his views.

"We have hundreds of thousands of civil servants telling people how to run their unions, how to run their businesses and their children, and the American people, especially the middle class, are fed up," he said. He made his comments to British television Monday on the first day of a trip apparently aimed at picking up international credentials for his unofficial campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. On Monday, Wallace met with British Prime Minister Harold Wilson at 10 Downing Street, where they discussed Anglo-American relations and the defense of Western Europe. He was driven to the meeting by Ambassador Elliot Richardson, who briefed him for an hour on British and European political and economic developments. China protests to U.S.

over Tibetan N.Y. office HONG KONG (UPI) China cast a cloud over the impending visit by U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger with the strongest public protest on SinoAmerican relations since the signing of the Shanghai Communique in 1972. The protest accused the United States of "undisguised interference in China's internal affairs" by permitting supporters of the exiled Dalai Lama to operate in the United States. Issued Monday by a Foreign Ministry spokesman in Peking, the protest also accused the United States of "a flagrant violation" of the Shanghai Communique, which set the guidelines for Sino-American relations.

The official New China News Agency and Peking Radio transmitted the protest ment in full today. It was issued only six days before Kissinger was to arrive in Peking to discuss final arrangements for a visit to China by President Ford. Although there was no direct connection with the Kissinger visit, some diplomats specializing in Chinese affairs said the timing was "interesting." These analysts said it was unlikely the protest, the second in less than a month on American relations, would have any serious effect on the Kissinger visit. "But you cannot rule out the possibility that the Chinese chose this time to make the protest at a high level with the Kissinger visit in mind," one diplomat said. "There are at least a dozen different angles you could speculate on but Hong Kong paralyzed by Typhoon Elsie HONG KONG (UPI) Typhoon Elsie battered southern China today and paralyzed the British colony of Hong Kong with winds of up to 100 miles an hour.

Frightened residents evacuated poorly constructed homes in Hong Kong's low- lying districts, pouring into temporary shelters for hot meals. Vessels broke from moorings and collided in wind gusts. The Liberian freighter Man Wah drifted 3,000 feet before two tugs stopped it. A fishing junk capsized, but the two adults and three children on the vessel were rescued by other boats. The intense winds halted all ferry services, crippled land transportation and forced the cancellation of nearly every flight in and out of Hong Kong.

At least 46 persons were injured, none seriously, as the powerful winds knocked down trees. there is no real clue as to what they might have in mind if there is any significance in the timing." The background to the protest goes back to July. At that time the Chinese Liaison Office in Washington demanded that the U. S. Government ban an "Office of Tibet" set up in New York by supporters of the Dalai Lama, the Buddhist God King who fled Tibet when the Chinese Army crushed a revolt by his followers on the rooftop of the world.

He has been in exile in India since that 1959 revolt. The Chinese Liaison office repeated its demand in August. At that time it also called for the cancellation of a scheduled October tour of the United States by a Tibetan song and dance ensemble, the protest statement said. The State Department rejected the demands. Index Area News 3,4 Sports 8,9 Family 7 Editorial page 12 TV programs 10 Classified ads 11 Ann Landers 10 Astro Graph 10 Dr.

Lamb 10 Crossword puzzle 10 Comics 8 N.Y. Stocks 6 Public Notices 10 National Weather Map 6 Rockies freezing, Chicago hot By United Press International Snowstorms clogged portions of the Rockies Monday but an autumnal heat wave sent temperatures to record heights from the Great Plains to the Great Lakes. Searchers, hampered by knee deep snows, used horses and four-wheel-drive vehicles in a search for a Vince Win- termore, 17, a hunter lost for two days in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming. Foot-deep snows clogged Lincoln, and snowfalls of up to 10 inches were reported in western and southern portions of the state Monday night. Motorists were warned to abandon summer tires and put chains on their tires.

Winter travel warnings were up from Montana to Colorado as the slow-moving storm front eased across the Continental Divide. Motorists were warned of locally heavy snow and high winds on Colorado's high mountain passes. More than four inches of snow covered the High Sierra of California, forcing the temporary closing of Tioga Pass highway in Yosemite Park. Glacier Point road above Yosemite Valley also was closed, as were most other major roads above 6,000 feet. But to the east of the wintry storms it was hardly apparent that winter is around the corner.

An Indian summer heat wave toppled high temperature marks in much of the midlands and people went back to summer dress. The temperature in Chicago climbed to 88 degress, smashing the old record by five degrees and surpassing by more than 20 degrees the normal high of 67. The mercury also hit 88 at Louisville, tying a high set in 1897. Record high temperatures were logged in many other midwestern cities, including Omaha, Des Moines and Waterloo, Iowa, and Alpena, Mich. Readings were in the high 80s across a wide belt of the midlands.

The unseasonably warm weather spread all the way from the high Plains to the Atlantic. Morning fog blanketed the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida. Showers spotted the Great Lakes region and parts of Maine and southern Florida.

White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen told reporters the secret budget guidelines could not be made public or released to Congress now because "it's the only way you can put the damned budget together." But he did say Ford feels the Defense Department, for example, is guilty of some "bad management" of funds. He said the cuts ranging from funds to personnel would touch virtually every department in government "as far as I know." Leading Democrats in Congress have sharply attacked Ford's recent demand that lawmakers limit spending to $395 billion in fiscal 1977 to make way for his proposed $28 billion tax cut. But Ford says the cuts can be made.

The President will present his figures to Congress early next year in his annual budget message. According to Nessen, Ford and his economic advisors have trimmed more than $30 billion from raw budget figures for fiscal 1977. He said Ford will harden the cuts into a firm $28 billion before presenting the budget to Congress for approval. Nessen indicated Ford will insist on the $395 billion spending limit and if any one department or agency gets an increase it will be matched by a cut in another. Nessen said Ford's drive for a $395 billion budget developed this way: In June, Ford put a $397 billion limit on planning figures for the 1977 budget.

He decided cuts must be made in the rate of spending and in the number of government employes. Budget advisors warned him that unless he acted the budget could soar to $419 billion even before it hit Congress. In early July, Ford met with his advisors and made "the fundamental decision for a tax cut tied to a spending limit." Ford also said he wanted the $397 target figure cut. On Sept. 18, Ford approved the $395 billion limit figure and called for specific cuts in each department and agency.

The cuts were not so much cutbacks as reductions in the rate of growth of spending. Last Friday, the department and agency chiefs got their spending guidelines. Nessen said each chief can appeal for more spending but he indicated that, for now, each boss will only be able to suggest where cuts should be made to keep within the suggested limit. Ford's proposed budget ceiling for fiscal 1977 actually would be an increase of $25 billion above the current budget. Too broad Court upsets law on obscene calls WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court today let stand a ruling which for the first time strikes down a state law aimed at obscene or abusive telephone calls.

The justices also agreed to rule on whether voters can determine what limits they want to set, through zoning, on commercial and residential growth. In the telephone call case, the Court affirmed the 4th U.S. Circuit Court's ruling that Virginia's law in this regard is too broad and could infringe on free speech rights. Virginia argued that its law against such calls was similar to those in 49 other states, and that those laws would also be threatened unless the Supreme Court acted. The appeal involving zoning changes in Eastlake, Ohio, is the first case the Court has agreed to hear involving controversial methods aimed at limiting community growth keeping new arrivals out.

Cases raising similar "land use" issues are on appeal from San Jose and San Diego, Calif. The Court did not rule on whether to grant review in those cases. A third California case from Petaluma, Calif, has drawn national attention and also may be appealed to the Supreme Court. In its second week of the new term, the Court also agreed to decide whether the Federal Power Commission must take into account a utility's history of unfair employment practices when fixing rates and granting licenses. Squabbling means defeat Strauss pleads with Democrats for unity WASHINGTON (UPI) Pleading for unity as the 1976 campaign approaches, Chairman Robert Strauss told the Democratic National Committee today squabbling will only repeat the party's "tragic pattern" of defeat in 1968 and 1972.

Strauss made his appeal as the 361-member committee began two days of work in preparation for the party's national convention next summer in New York City. "Our past disunity brought us Richard Nixon and now Gerald Ford," he said. "No matter how hard we look for scapegoats, none of us are The full committee met after the party's executive committee Monday worked out, with little dissension, housekeeping details and rules for the Madison Square Garden conclave next July. But there still were signs of unrest among the party's reform faction, especially over proposed rules that would attempt to reduce public bickering on the convention floor and tighten up the delegate credentials challenge process. "We seem to have established a tragic pattern," said Strauss in reviewing the history of the party in the last two presidential elections.

"A majority going into the delegate selection process and our national convention; a hopeless minority as we go into and come out of the presidential campaign." Although eight candidates have already announced for the Democratic nomination next year and more are expected, Strauss said a united party could take advantage of soft political targets on the other side. "The same old Nixon crowd is minding the store the same names and same old tired negative programs," he said. The prospects of a peaceful national committee session seemed enhanced Monday when a potential bruising battle over delegate selection rules was averted in the executive committee. "My momma didn't raise no idiot," Don Fowler quietly told the 25-member committee Monday. "I withdraw the resolutions" to roll back party reforms.

Kissinger lauds spacemen WASHINGTON (UPI) Secretary of State Henry Kissinger today told the Russian and American pilots of July's rendezvous in space that their mission symbolizes a new era of cooperation between the two nations. "I'd like to believe that what you gentlemen did in space will be transferred to what our political leaders do on earth," Kissinger told cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valeri Kubasov and astronauts Maj. Gen. Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald "Deke" Slayton. "The relations between the United States and the Soviet Union are essential for the peace of the world," he said.

"Our countries have different ideologies and we sometimes oppose each other on specific political issues, but also we have overriding responsibilities. Because it depends on our two countries whether there will be a catastrophe for mankind or whether there will be progress." The five Apollo-Soyuz crewmen opened a two-week goodwill tour of the United States Monday with a news conference and a meeting with President Ford. He said the historic meeting in orbit was only the beginning of cooperative efforts between the two nations. "This joint effort, I hope and trust, will be but a forerunner of what we can do on an expanded basis not only in space and science but in other areas," Ford told them. At the White House Stafford presented the President with an aluminum plaque assembled in orbit.

Leonov gave Ford a letter from Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and a special pin. Ford gave the Russians a cable used by the spacemen for their communications during the joint flight. The three Americans flew their Apollo to a linkup with the Russians in a Soyuz on July 17 The two ships were docked nearly two days while crewmen carried out joint experiments. In other actions, the Court: Rejected an attempt by the FPC to deregulate winter prices of natural gas in a manner which critics claim gives gas producers windfall profits. Let stand a $151,000 libel judgment against TV Guide.

It was the fourth libel case the justices have declined to review in two weeks. Refused to review a lower court ruling which upheld a District of Columbia law against indecent sexual proposals used mainly to prosecute homosexuals. Agreed to hear cases from Chicago and North Carolina involving a city's right to fire police officers without a hearing. Agreed to re-examine standards for making warrantless arrests and searches of a suspect in his home. Suspect eludes FBI trap SALEM, 111.

(UPI) Indiana authorities today picked up a suspicious looking man walking along a railroad track and identified him as Henry M. Gargano, one of two "extremely dangerous" convicts being sought about 100 miles away in Illinois. "I am the guy you are looking for" Indiana authorities quoted the man as saying. The FBI and other manhunt- ers had thought they had Gargano, the convicted killer of two Chicago area policemen, and another fugitive from the Marion, 111., Federal Penitentiary, trapped in a wooded area near Salem, 111. But Greene County sheriff's authorities in Bloomfield, said the man they had taken into custody was Gargano, 43.

Still at large was the last of five men who broke out of the maximum security prison Saturday night, Dennis D. Hunter, 23, Salem, Ohio. One of the fugitives was caught Sunday night when the fugitives' stolen getaway car crashed near Salem and two more were picked up walking along railroad tracks Monday night. But the fact that the two others were still at large aroused such fears that a grade school was closed and bus routes to other schools were modified to keep the children safe from the fugitives. The Illinois hunt, using dogs and spotter planes, continued through wooded areas and along rail tracks.

Sheriff's deputies, state police and FBI agents joined in the pursuit. Maurice Philion, 40, Oakland, was captured by Marion County sheriff's police while walking along railroad tracks east of Salem. Highest, lowest, 48 states Garden City, 93 Gunnison, 14.
