SALT stands for strategic arms limitations talks. Phase 1 of the talks opened 17, 1909 in Helsinki. Finland, and wound up last May while President Nixon was visiting in Moscow.

Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Se-menov, head of the Soviet delegation, arrived yesterday for Phase 2 after a 48-hour train ride from Moscow and told newsmen he is under instructions to do the utmost to make SALT II a success. "Of course, we proceed from the promise that the American side will act in the same constructive and businesslike manner," he said, and the U.S., chief negotiator, Gerard C. Smith, struck an even more confident note when he flew into Geneva on Friday. He said he was "hopeful that the talks would come to a successful conclusion well before the 1977 deadline. The optimistic tone contrasted with expert assessments forecasting tedious bilateral bargaining in trying to draft a comprehensive treaty limiting offensive nuclear weapons.

Investigators said more than $3 million had been stolen over the weekend pf March 24-26 from the United California Bank in Laguna Nigucl.

U. S. District Court Judge Matty Byrne Jr. sentenced Amil Densio, Boardmen, Ohio, .16. and Charles Mulligan, 39, Youngstown, Ohio, after a hearing in which they fired their attn-neys and asserted the FBI had framed them.

A third defendant, Phillip Christopher, 31, Cleveland, like the other two had been convicted Oct. 27 by a federal jury after two days of deliberation. Christopher's sentencing was postponed until sometime next month, however, because his attorney was on The judge denied a handwritten motion by Byrne and Donsio requesting a new trial on the contention their attorneys were inadequate and the judge disliked them. They were convicted of conspiracy, bank burglary and larceny in the looting of 450 safe deposit vaults while the bank was closed. Investigators placed the lake in cash, jewels, negotiable securities and other valuables at $3 million plus but witnesses testified at the trial that Mulligan and Dinsio themselves claimed the take was $5 million.

More than $1 million of the loot has been recovered so far. Two other men are being sought in the burglary, Harry Rarber, 31, of Youngstown, Ohio, and his brother Ronald, 29, of South Gate, Calif. The branch hank at Laguna Niguel isolated, screened from public view and deserted on weekends was robbed after burglars entered through the roof and cut into the five-ton steel door to the vault. 1 Federal investigators said Ihe three1 defendants may have been involved other hank burglaries over the past five years. Approximately $30,000 in cash found in a closet in Christopher's Cleveland home contained bills from the Laguna Niguel robbery and from a $430,000 bank robbery in Lordstown, Ohio, officials said.

Christopher is i a 10-year sentence after his federal parole on a truck hijacking charge was revoked last June when he was arrested for the bank burglary. Among the spectators at the trial had been Mulligan's wife and his five children, his mloher and his sister, who is Dinsio's wife. Mulligan who had been free on $250,000 hail, was taken into custody after the conviction. Dinsio was taken into custody earlier after his bail was revoked. The prosecution had produced evidence that Dinsio was conspiring to murder a key witness and fabricate an alibi for the burglary.

The former platoon leader received a life sentence March 31, 1971, for the murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai in ltlfifi, but that sentence later was reduced to 20 years. The private hearing by the board is a departure from normal Army procedure because most such hearings are held al Leavenworth. But since Calley is serving his sentence under house arrest, the board is visiting him. An Army spokesman said the outcome of the clemency appeal will not be known until findings reach the Army and Air Force Clemency and Parole Board.

Swiss authorities have been asked that they should prepare to host the delegations numbering about 30 on each side for a maximum of five years. Priority in the initial discussions here is officially to go to the establishment of a Standing Consultative Commission provided for under the permanent treaty limiting the ABMs. The body is to consider the treaty's operations on a regular basis, including questions of compliance, and would also accept complaints. Smith expects it will come into being sometime next year but has made plain there is no urgency about it. The comment, at a news conference, indicated that both sides thus far are satisfied with the existing machinery, with verification relying exclusively on national means, chiefly satellites.

While there are apparently no problems in ensuring compliance with the ABMs curbs limiting each side to 200 ABMs located around the national capitals and around offensive missile complexes verification is believed to prompt arduous discussions in SALT n. Complex questions, for example, could be involved in limiting MIRVS, multiple warheads, that are difficult to monitor by satellite inspection. This could produce an issue that has long stalled the U.N. disarmament talks where the United States continues to insist on some kind of onsite inspection something which the Soviet Union has made plain it will never accept. Neither, side gave an indication whether such considerations were on their mind on the eve of the opening session.

Officials have emphasized that the same strict secrecy that has been rigidly followed in the 2-year SALT I negotiations also will be observed in Geneva. Less than 24 hours before the first meeting there was not even a decision on whether there would be any ceremony to get it started. Since the last SALT I meeting was in the U.S. Embassy, in Helsinki, the Soviet mission here was picked for the SALT II opener. The Russians made available a second-floor conference room in the modernistic main mission building, close to the sprawling complex of the U.N.

A gunman fired the bullet for no apparent reason Sunday night as the boy's horrified mother, Marie a watched helplessly. The boy had nothing else to do Sunday night so he decided to go down to the drive-in grocery store where his mother had been working about one month and help her wait on customers and sweep and mop the flnor.

"Two men came in and we got up just like they were regular customers." Charles said yesterday from his hospital bed. "One of the men the short one just pointed a gun at me and fired. They didn't say a word." Charles fell to the floor. He clutched his chest in an effort to hold back the blood. He said he was afraid the men would shoot again.

"I played unconscious so they wouldn't shoot me again," he said. "Then I heard them say it was a holdup, for my mother to give them the money." Mrs. Langley stepped over her son, opened the cash register and handed the two men $175. "They didn't have to shoot him," Mrs. Langley said.

"There was just no reason. He just lay there on the floor with blood pouring out through his blue sweat shirt." Charles said he remained conscious throughout the robbery and listened to all their demands. "I wanted to hear if they were going to flee this country after he learned of the indictment, Cahn said. The minister, associated with Yale's Ecumenical Education Center, is a member of the Church of the Disciples of Christ. Cahn said Rossman and 14 other known members of the ring offered teenagers trips to California and Mexico.

Fourteen suspects have now been arrested in various cities, including Pittsburgh, Detroit, Toronto and Los Angeles. There was no evidence that the men physically coerced the boys, the district attorney said. George W. Brehm, a prosperous Long Island salesman who allegedly was a member of the ring, was sentenced last week to up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of sodomy. Cahn said the teenaeer allegedly involved with Rossman had been a Christmas tree salesman in a business set up by the ring last year to lure boys into sexual activity.

Cahn said Rossman fled to Switzerland and later to Beirut, Lebanon, last May to avoid arrest after he learned of the indictment. Assistant District Attorney Barry Levine asked Judge Paul Kelly to hold the minister in $100,000 bail. Levine said he had evidence that Rossman wrote a letter to a friend indicating he was moving to Lebanon because that country has no extradition agreement with the United States. The minister's attorney told Judge Kelly his client went to Europe and the Middle East on a mission for his church. "Dr.

Rossman voluntarily surrendered himself to the District Attorney's office because he wishes to clear his name," lawyer John Williams said. Rossman's wife, Jean, a New Haven public school teacher, was seated in the courtroom. She showed no emotion as Rossman was jailed in lieu of bail.

(UPI) A three-judge federal court panel ruled yesterday that Oregon may not grant tax exemptions to the F.iks Lodge because the fraternal organization violates the U.S. Constitution by restricting its membership to whites. The ruling was written by Senior District Judge Gus J. Solomon in a suit brought by Michael Falkenslein, a white, and Clifford V.

McGlollen, a black, against the Oregon Department of Revenue. "Ry accepting the state's generosity (of a lax exemption) the Elks Lodge is obligated to comply with the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment," Solomon ruled. "And the state is under duty to ensure that the lodge meets this obligation." Solomon said the case here was unlike one in Pennsylvania in which a court ruled that a liquor license granted a Moose Lodge did not constitute state action within the meaning of the 14lh Amendment. In the Oregon case, Solomon wrote, excni'itions for fralernal organizations benefit both the states and the organizations. Oregon relieves fraternal organizations from the burden of property and corporate excise taxes and, in return, the public benefits from the charitable and benevolent activities of these organizations.

This is the kind of symbiotic relationship that was lacking in Moose Lodge." He added that the "mutual benefits constitute a degree of state involvement in discriminatory activity" that is prohibited by the 14th Amendment. By granting the tax exemptions, Solomon wrote, the state has made itself a party to the discrimination. The panel ordered the state to cease granting the tax exemptions for the Elks. slat" had arc'crl that the lax exemptions did not constitute state action within the meaning of the 14th Amendment.

Malik, the last governor of East Pakistan, was convicted yesterday of waging war against Bangladesh and sentenced to life imprisonment. Malik, 70, also was convicted of collaboration with the Pakistan army and spreading sedition, but Judge Abdul Hannah Chowdhury did not sentence Malik on those counts because of his age and prior record. Malik could have been sentenced to death. Malik had pleaded innocent to the charges. He was governor of East Pakistan from September until Dacca fell to Indian troops on Dec.

16, 1971. Defense attorneys had argued that Bangladesh did not have jurisdiction in the case because the state did not exist when Malik was governor. The prosecution said Bangladesh existed from March 26, 1971, when independence from the western part of Pakistan was declared. Malik, a civilian Bengali from East Pakistan, was named to replace the military governor. He was captured after Indian troops entered Dacca and was later turned over tp the Bangladesh government.

A spokesman for the Pakistani government in Rawalpindi denounced the sentence as "extremely deplorable and savage.".
