Arrangements were made for the first flight to pick up U.S. citizens and persons of other nationalities, officials said. IN THE meantime radio broadcasts, including some by the Voice of America U.S. government radio, were telling those who wish to leave where they should gather and what articles they should bring with them.

Still unknown is how many of the approximately 400 Americans in Jordan will try to get to Amman's airport for the airlift. One estimate is the number could range up to 200. The airliner slated to fly in this morn Gotham Has BJaekout As Power Cuts Spread By ROBERT I MOONKY Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew last night charged Indiana's R. Vance Hartke with being "permissive, weak-kneed, shortsighted and free spending," lie said Democratic liberals in the United States Senate who are facing election have joined the Come-Lately Club on crime and disorder.

Agnew gave a tough, ripping speech before 4,207 Indiana Republicans who paid $100-a-plate admission into the Exposition Building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The Vice-President's speech was interrupted 23 times by applause and he received a tumultous and roaring ovation at. the close. The dinner and a reception grossed according to Dr. Earl L.

Butz, Lafayette, chairman of the Indiana Republican Citizens Finance Committee. INDORSING United States Representative Richard L. Roudebush (R-Ind.) for election over United States Senator R. Vance Hartke, Agnew said: "from Indiana's viewpoint, the paramount issue is whether Hoosiers will be represented in the United States Senate by a man who reflects the thinking of the majority of the people of this state. 'i submit that Dick Roudebush passes this test with flying colors and that his opponent (Hartke) flunks it in every respect." The.

Vice-President said Roudebush's opponent not only voted against the Nixon administration's efforts to establish an anti-ballistic missile defense "but also has proudly voted with the radical-liberals of the Senate in their unsuccessful attempts to cut off funds for the war in Vietnam and pull out American troops in a way that would surely sow the seeds of future wars." AGNEW ADDED: "Surely, this is not the thinking of the great majority of the people of Indiana." The Vice-President praised Roudebush for establishing a "solid reputation for fiscal responsibility" during his 10 years of service in the House of Representatives. Agnew said Roudebush once earned a "Watchdog of the Treasury" award for his interest in seeing that taxpayers got a dollar's worth of value for every dollar spent. In contrast, Agnew said "His (Roudebush's) opponent, the present senior Senator from Indiana, has established a notorious reputation as one of the biggest spenders in Congress." The Vice-President's loudest ovation came when he said: "Congressman Roudebush has stated that if a person burns down a building or otherwise destroys propertywhether on a campus or elsewhere--he is no longer a demonstrator, he is a lawbreaker, and ought to be treated as such. And he (Roudebush) did not arrive at this opinion today." Agnew also slashed at a remark attributed to Hartke on March 17, 1970, and inserted in the Congressional Record in which the Indiana Democrat was quoted: "At times, when reading of the reaction to student dissent, I have the impression that members of the over-30 generation have declared war on youth." AGNEW REPLIED: "My friends, the President and I are members of the over-30 generation. We have not declared war on youth." At this, the crowd broke in a loud ovation.

Agnew drew several vocal "no's" from the audience when he played a question-and-answer "game." The loudest "no" came when he said: "THROUGH YOUR senior senator, the people of Indiana are now telling the nation: "We want a man like William O. Douglas on the Supreme Court, not strict constructionists like Hayns-worth or Carswell." "Is that what the people of Indiana really The answer came loud and clear. Agnew devoted part of his speech to a counter-attack to last week's appearance in Indianapolis by former Ambassador W. Averell Harriman, chief negotiator at the Paris Peace Conference for nine months during the preceding administration of former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) is rated one of the two most vulnerable incumbent Democratic senators by a political pollster quoted in the "Washington Whispers" column of U.S. News and World Report. The item, in the Sept.

The warning by the Soviet Foreign Ministry followed Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny's voiced "concern and anxiety" over what he called the threat of direct interference by United States 6th Fleet now cruising in the Mediterranean. In view of the situation, the Soviet Foreign Ministry through its embassy in Washington, told the United States of the need of all countries "to display caution," adding that any interference would further complicate the Jordanian situation "and the international situation as a whole." IN WASHINGTON the State Department said the United States plans to start evacuating Americans from Jordan today, but in chartered civilian airliners, not with the U.S. military units building up in the Middle East. The planes, chartered from the Middle East Airlines Company, were to fly to Amman from Beirut about fi a.m.

"I wish to announce that a strike has been averted for the present on the nation's railroads," said Secretary of Labor James D. Hodgson.

Voltage in New York City was cut 8 per cent the limit before risking breakdown of appliances but the voltage cuts elsewhere in the affected area were held to 5 per cent.

The drain on power reserves precipitated by continued 90-degree weather was reported to have started off heavier yesterday morning than on Tuesday, when the crisis first developed. USERS of electricity all along the Atlantic Seaboard were asked to conserve power at home and at work by curtailing non-essential use of electricity. In an appeal to New Yorkers, Mayor John V. Lindsay said the crisis which "has intermittently gripped our city this summer has reached its worst level today." President Nixon's Office of Emergency Preparedness told East Coast residents that they should cut back electricity usage "to a bare minimum because the drain on the East Coast power grid is creating a very tight power supply situation."

New York's Consolidated Edison Company blacked out a 65-block area in Queens to repair a damaged cable that had cut power to 1,600 customers and LaGuardia Airport for periods of up to 3'2 hours before dawn. THE NEW ENGLAND Electric System said a 5 per cent voltage reduction was made in its area so that extra power could be channeled to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, which were prepared to make selective blackouts as required. Power cutbacks also were continued lor a second day in parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Meanwhile electric companies in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri fed surplus power totaling 2.1 million kilowatts into the power-hungry East.

Power companies in eastern and southern New York cut voltage by 5 per cent in order to boost reserves of the Middle Atlantic power pool, and power also was brought in from Ontario.
