Brooklyn Power Blackout Lasts 13 Hours Thai's Where Tom Detcey Went OH Ti Say, Arenh We Going Kind Of Absence, Hanoi Bid Coincide Heath's Deputy Quits Post As Business Ties Come Under Scrutiny Electricity Demand Record Set By ASSOCIATED PRESS Electrical service was restored to 200,000 Brooklyn residents yesterday after a steamy 13-hour blackout that occurred during the summer's first Northeast power crisis.

New England was staggered by a record demand for electricity as a result of a four-day heat wave. Six of Consolidated Edison's 10 feeder cables broke down at Brooklyn, leading to what was described as the worst blackout since the 1965 Northeast power failure. A selective, deliberate blackout to conserve power affected 90,000 Staten Island and Westchester County homes in 1970. CON EDISON blamed the feeder breakdown on air-conditioning demands plus the cumulative damage incurred during one of the wettest springs and early summers on record. Lights went off in the Bay Ridge, Gowanus and Sunset Park sections of Brooklyn at 9:53 p.m.

Monday. So did refrigerators, television sets and air-conditioning units on a sweltering night, with temperatures ranging between 78 and 80 degrees. Service was not restored until 11 a.m. yesterday. Brooklyn Borough President Sebastian Leona called the enforced shutoff of the power "a near disaster." "THE STATE of New must step in and assume responsibility for providing electrical energy in Brooklyn until this crisis is past," he declared.

Other feeder cable troubles cut off power to 6,000 Queens homes during the day. Meanwhile, Con Edison made its initial plea of the summer that its customers conserve electricity as muggy 90-degree daytime temperatures continued with no relief in sight. A spokesman called the power situation "very light." THE NATIONAL Weather Service forecast air stagnation, which was expected to add to the air-conditioning load on the utility. Con Edison said it met Monday's Turn to page 10, Column 1 London (AP) Reginald Maudling quit as Prime Minister Edward Heath's deputy yesterday after Scotland Yard's fraud squad moved to probe the collapse of a company he once served. His resignation was announced to the House of Commons by Heath himself, who seven years ago just beat Maudling in a contest for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

Weeks of speculation had been swirling around Home Secretary Maudling, not because he was under suspicion himself but because the smell of scandal, for the second time, had enveloped a firm with which he had been briefly associated. The other occasion involved an American financier, Jerome Hoffman, now in an American jail serving a two-year Federal sentence for fraud. MAUDLING HAD joined the boards of two Hoffman companies. One was the Real Estate Management Company of America Inc. in the Bahamas.

The other was the Ileal Estate Fund of America, Sales, Ltd. Inc. in Liberia. He resigned from both in mid-1969 he was at the time an opposition lawmaker and therefore free to engage in business-after six months or so. But the immediate cause of Maud-ling's withdrawal from the government was constitutional.

The state prosecutor earlier yesterday had ordered Scotland Yard to investigate if there were grounds for criminal action as a result of the collapse of an organization owned by Yorkshire architect John Poulson. MAUDLING, at a time when the Labor Party was in power, had headed one of Poulson's companies without taking pay for it. In bankruptcy hearings, Poulson disclosed that Maudling, instead of being paid, asked that a sum of 22,000 pounds $57,200 at offical rates be diverted to his wife's pet theater project. Mrs. Beryl Washington (AP) Henry A.

Kissinger, President Nixon's closest foreign affairs adviser, dropped out of sight yesterday soon after Hanoi's chief negotia-. tor at Paris invited renewed secret Vietnam peace talks. Kissinger normally would have returned to Washington from the western White Houae with Mr. Nixon but was absent from tne Air Force One manifest. Asked about it, press secretary Ronald L.

Ziegler said, "Ail I can tell you is he flew back to Washington Monday with his children. I have no comment on where Henry Kissinger is, period." EARLIER in the day, at San Cle-mente, deputy White House press secretary Gerald Warren told reporters, "Kissinger moved his family back to New York yesterday." Kissinger's son and daughter had been with him on the West Coast during Mr. Nixon 17-day stay at the Western White House. There was no explanation of the conflicting reports on wnere it was Kissinger went Monday. Kissinger's deputy, Army Maj.

Gen. Alexander M. Haig was askeo. about Kissinger's whereabouts. "Ziegier handles those Haig replied.

NEWSMEN ABOARD Mr. Nixon's Boeing 707 jet called a Kissinger aide and asked if the Nixon naiional se-; security adviser was in his office. The aide reported that he had taken the day off to attend to personal affairs and knew nothing of Kissinger's whereabouts. With Mr. Nuun on the flight to Washington were such aides as H.

R. Haldeman, chief of the white House staff; John Ehrlichman, domestic policy chief, and Charles Colson, special counsel and well-known as a Nixon political operative. THERE HAVE BEEN repeated indications that a fresh round of secret negotiations would be undertaken by Kissinger at Paris. The chief North Vietnamese negotiator, Le Due Tho, now is at Paris and said during the weekend he is willing to meet with Kissinger again if the presidential assistant has something new to discuss. The last time newsmen saw Kissinger was about noon Monday as he posed for pictures in Mr.

Nixon's office with Secretary of Commerce Peter G. Peterson. (AP Wlreohot) REGINALD MAUDLING Quits British Post Maudling once was a ballet dancer. "I do not regard this as a matter either for criticism or for investigation," Maudling said in his resignation letter to Heath. But then he went on to agree that normal investigations should be made on other aspects.

That raised difficulties. As home secretary he was responsible for the police themselves and, generally, for the maintenance of law and order in Britain. HEATH TOLD lawmakers he agreed with this even though he wanted Maudling to stay on in the Cabinet in another role. But Maudling, who has held Various high offices of state and in the Tory party for 20 years, declined, saying he could do with a rest. Robert Carr, leader of the House of Commons, was named by Heath as stopgap home secretary pending a general Cabinet shakeup.

4th Game Ends In Tie As Boris, Bobby Battle tive and the game headed for an almost certain draw. SPASSKY PLAYED quickly in the opening moves, taking only three minutes to complete his first 10 moves. However, he slowed down later and took more than half an hour on the 19th move alone. The players met in the Reykjavik auditorium, from which the television cameras have been removed at Fischer's insistence. Fischer did not appear for and thus forfeited the second game last Thursday because of the presence of television cameras in the hall.

That was the only previous game in this match in which Fischer had the white pieces, which move first. ONLY 15 MINUTES before referee Lothar Schmid started yesterday's Turn to page 10, Column 1 Police, Gunmen Stage 'Wild West' Shootout By JIM WARD Reykjavik, Iceland (UPI) United States challenger Bobby Fischer won a battle over television cameras last night but had to settle for a draw with Boris Spassky after 45 moves in a seesaw fourth game of the world chess championship. Spassky offered the draw with a simple inclination of his head after Fischer made his 45th move, a pawn to his queen bishop three, and Fischer accepted immediately. The two shook hands across the table and Fischer got up with his glass of orange juice in his hand and strode from the hall. THE DRAW LEFT Spassky with a 2' i point to Vk point advantage over the American challenger in the 24-game, $250,000 world championship.

The fifth game is scheduled for tomorrow at 5 p.m. (noon EST). Fischer started the game with his almost inevitable king pawn opening and Spassky responded with a Sicilian defense, a rare move for the Russian. THE AMERICAN, who earlier had once again threatened not to play unless all television cameras were removed from the hall, held a pawn advantage after 20 moves but a dubious 19th move gave the initiative to Spassky. The Russian, whose loss to Fischer Sunday and Monday night was his first in 12 years of playing Fischer, quickly leaped to the attack and had a slight position advantage in the middle game.

However, exports said a dubious move by Spassky lost him that initia- The Weal her By VICTOR L. BURFORD "Drop it!" "Drop it!" "Drop it!" That warning sounded like a Western movie script as two policemen and two gunmen stood lined up yesterday afternoon, each telling the other to drop his pistol.

Jefferson interrupted the affair by dipping behind the pistol-packer and commanding "Drop it." As the pistol fell to the ground, another man slipped behind Jefferson, stuck a pistol in his back and said, "Drop it." Jefferson froze, but held his service revolver. "I'm a policeman," said the detective. "So am said the new arrival.

"I'm a special policeman!" Meanwhile, Detective John R. Lar-kins heard the five shots from the shootout as he was driving west on 30th Street.

Patrolman William Jackson, 29, Muncie, was arrested yesterday on a charge of assault and battery with the intent to commit a felony. He was freed under $3,000 bond. DELAWARE COUNTY Prosecutor David Casterline said the felony was "an attempt to commit rape." Muncie Police Chief Cordell Campbell, who suspended Jackson on a day-to-day basis pending the outcome of the charges, said he will seek his dismissal from the Muncie Police Merit Commission.

Campbell said Jackson was one of a group of policemen to answer a trouble call July 12 at the southside residence of a Muncie woman. The woman told police that Jackson "made improper advances while on the investigation while the other police were searching the house and later returned alone."

BOTH WOMEN issued brief state- New York (AP) Betty Friedan, one of the founders of the women's lib movement, criticized sister feminists Gloria Stcincm and Representative Bella Abzug yesterday as "female chauvinists" waging "class warfare against men." "Female chauvinism and those who preach or practice it seem to me to be corrupting our movement for equality and inviting a backlash that endangers the very real gains we have won these past few years," she said.

MRS. FRIEDAN, author or "The Feminine Mystique" and founder of the National Organization for Women, said It is time for the women's liberntion movement "to be succeeded In our consciousness by a two-sex movement for human liberation." She criticized Miss Slcinem, editor of Ms. magazine, for promoting what she ments responding to Mrs. Fricdan's criticism. "Having been falsely accused by male establishment journalists of liking men too much," Miss Steinem said, "its a relief to be falsely accused by an establishment woman of not liking them enough." Mrs.

Abzug said: "Once again, Betty Friedan is exercising her right to be wrong. I never asked anyone to vote for me only because of my sex." Mrs. Friedan said her concern over the direction of women's lib was supported by other women who told her women should now concentrate on things like abortion reform, equal job opportunities and political goals.
