(AP) The Soviet Union, in a surprise move, offered Tuesday to join with the United States and Britain in a suspension of all underground nuclear weapons tests for an unspecified period.

"The prohibition of all nuclear weapon tests would be a major step conducive to lessening the threat of nuclear war and deepening detente," Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko told the U.N. General Assembly. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, who Is also in New York, withheld comment on Gromyko's test ban proposals.

His spokesman said Vance was occupied with a series of meetings with other foreign ministers and had not read a text of Gromyko's speech. THE SPOKESMAN emphasized that the two superpowers have not come to an agreement yet. Meanwhile, Gromyko was making an unexpected return visit to the White House Tuesday night to resume private arms limitation talks with President Carter. The White House announced that Gromyko and Vance were flying to Washington separately for the renewed talks. Gromyko held two days of talks with top administration officials last week, including a White House session with Mr.

Carter. Mr. Carter's press secretary, Jody Powell, said Tuesday the President told Groymko at their meeting last Friday that "he would be willing to continue the discussions if the Soviets thought that would be worthwhile." U.S. OFFICIALS were not notified in advance of the Soviet gesture on underground nuclear tests. To them it appeared to represent serious intent to complete a weapons test ban.

Beyond that, the Russians did not condition their offer to reach an agreement on compliance by China and France, the two other major nuclear powers. In the past, Moscow has said a testing agreement must have global application in order to be meaningful. Even while taking this conciliatory approach, Gromyko sharply criticized the Carter administration on several fronts. He suggested with evident sarcasm that "those who clamor for 'human rights could best apply their efforts" in southern Africa. "BUT FOR SOME reason or other," Gromyko said, "they shut their eyes to Paratfnn artinsville 252 Two men declared Tuesday they are certain that missing Indiana University student Ann Louise Harmeier was with five other persons in a car with a Kentucky license plate that stopped for gasoline at the Deep Rock service station at Paragon the day the coed disappeared.

As a result, the search for Miss Harmeier, 20, Cambridage City, turned to Kentucky. Police fear she met with foul play after abandoning her disabled car on Ind. 37 two miles north of Martinsville about 9 a.m. Sept. 12 while returning to the I.U.

campus at Bloomington. THE MEN, Willard (Hawkeye) Walt, 57, owner of the Paragon station, and Sam White, 50, an employe, said the car with six persons in it stopped at the station about 11:30 a.m. on the day of Miss Harmeier's disappearance. They said three young women got out of the car and the male driver and two other persons remained in it while about $5 worth of gasoline was pumped into it. Walt said he asked one of the girls why she was wearing an Indiana T-shirt while riding in a car with Kentucky plates.

He said she started to reply but went to the rest room without answering him. When last seen, Miss Harmeier was wearing a red T-shirt with Indiana in white letters on it. WALT ALSO said the women purchased a soft drink before re-entering the car. He and White added that the young woman wearing the T-shirt did not appear to be distraught or disturbed, and no one in the party gave evidence of any trouble.

But unlike the earlier indictment, it did not name any of the congressmen who allegedly accepted money and gifts and said only that some of Kim's funds were intended for distribution to "members of Congress." TONGSUN Park, a millionaire rice dealer and former Washington socialite, is in South Korea and thus far has refused to return to the United States to face his 36-count indictment for conspiracy, defrauding the government, mail fraud, racketeering and making illegal political contributions. Hancho Kim, however, is an American citizen residing in a Washington suburb. He is in the cosmetics business and is a former trustee of American University in the District of Columbia.

His Washington attorney, David Povich, declined to comment until he had seen the indictment, and said he had advised Kim to do the same. THE INDICTMENT charges him with conspiring with two former KCIA agents to defraud the U.S. government by conducting "a clandestine operation in the United States called 'Operation White Snow' for the purposes of increasing foreign aid to the Republic of Korea" and creating "a favorable attitude toward the government of the Republic of Korea and its officials." It said the KCIA provided Kim $600,000 in 1974-75 and that he "entertained congressmen, received and stored KCIA funds, operated a Telex machine and received instructions from and sent information to the KCIA." THE INDICTMENT said Kim's illegal operation ran from August, 1974, to about April, 1976. It named as his unindicted coconspirators Gen. Yang Doo Wan, then assistant to the KCIA director in Seoul, and Sang Keun Kim, then a KCIA agent in the United States and Hancho Kim's go-between with Seoul.

The grand jury said Kim used some of the money to buy flashy new cars and expensive home furnishings as well as for home and restaurant entertaining designed to "impress congressmen and others as to his financial condition." IT ALSO CHARGED him with making a false declaration to a grand jury by testifying in September, 1976, that Sang Keun Kim had never given him any KCIA money. The indictment said the agent delivered the $600,000 in operational funds to Hancho Kim's home. The charges of conspiracy to fraud and making a false declaration to a grand jury each carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, the Justice Department said.

Moore, a Republican, said Pritchard is "wanting us to change the budgets.

We can't change them now." But Pritchard said his suit asks that all budgetary matters passed by the council be declared void. If so, his budget would have to be reconsidered. "I really feel we have a tremendous amount of public support," he said, adding he believes the public will put pressure on the council to give him the mojv he needs. Washington (UPI) A federal grand jury indicted a second Korean-born businessman in its Capitol Hill, bribery investigation Tuesday, charging he ran a covert influence-peddling scheme called "Operation White Snow" with $600,000 in Korean CIA money. Following up on its earlier indictment of fugitive millionaire Tongsun Park, the grand jury handed up a two-count indictment involving 25 overt acts for conspiracy to fraud and false declaration against Hancho C.

BOTH INDICTMENTS stem from the Justice Department's probe of allegations that the South Koreans, during the 1970s, plied members of Congress with cash, gifts, lavish parties and other favors in an effort to win passage of legislation favorable to Seoul.

He termed the publicity drive for ratifcation on this particular point "one of the biggest lies since Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler promoted what they were promoting by use of the big lie technique." Sendak said a Department of Agriculture official had been quoted by the Associated Press as conceding that Brazil may be able to take over much of the international soybean market the United States now has because of higher canal shipper charges.

Sendak also said there has been a conflict of interest in treaty negotiations involving Sol Linowitz, negotiator who Sendak said is an officer of a bank that has loaned money to the Republic of Panama.

Washington (AP) The House rejected Tuesday a proposal to use federal funds for abortions in cases of rape, incest or medical necessity, clearing the way for a compromise with the Senate on abortion and passage of a social legislation bill.

By a vote of 252-164, House members rejected a resolution that would have indorsed the abortion language already agreed to by the Senate. THE LOPSIDED defeat was far short of the two-thirds majority needed for the House to adopt the Senate's more liberal approach to abortion funding. The House position is that federal money should be spent on abortions only when a woman's life is jeopardized by a full-term pregnancy. House and Senate conferees now are expected to resume efforts to reach a compromise on the volatile issue. Senate conferees had demanded the vote by the House and walked out of a conference after House members refused to agree to one.

The senators noted that their chamber twice had rejected the House position on abortion. House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill had predicted that the House would not accept the Senate's language, but he also said that Senate leaders were confident that even if the language were defeated, the abortion question could be resolved within 48 hours. THE DISPUTE by the House and Senate conferees was delaying passage of an appropriations bill for the departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. Current funding for those agencies runs out on Friday.

The defeated resolution would have instructed House conferees to abandon their proposal and agree with the Senate, paving the way for a regular House vote on the Senate language. The National Abortion Rights Action League denounced the House vote, saying those who opposed the resolution were endangering all Labor-HEW funds. "THE HOUSE of Representatives has notice shall be given by the governing body of a public agency by posting a copy of the notice at the principal office of the public agency holding the meeting or, if no such office exists, at the building where the meeting is to be held." Pritchard said this was not done, but the allegation was denied by Council President Lee A. Moore, who said he personally had discussed the new "sunshine" law with County Auditor June Wood before budget sessions were held. "J'm sure she had it (the notice) up," he said.

IT IS BELIEVED this is the first suit filed alleging a violation of the new law.

Maslan saluted several companies for their early employe drive efforts during a luncheon in the Indiana Convention-Exposition Center. Goal for this year's drive is $9,648,030.

He and others had brought suit under the Freedom of Information Act seeking copies of the treaties and of rumored secret supplementary agreements, he said, but all they got were the texts he distributed.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL provision he said would be violated, if only Senate ratification was executed, is that of article 4, section 3, requiring an act of Congress (passage in both houses) for disposition of any property of the United States. "That means all kinds of property," Sendak stated.

He said the council also canceled the department's group health and life insurance plan, effective Jan.

1, 1978, and eliminated its uniform laundry plan. Pritchard said the insurance plan was worth $28 a man a month and the uniform laundry plan $156 a man a year, and that the actions thus actually cut deputies' pay about $131 a man a year, despite the 5 per cent increase. Beginning deputies now are paid $10,100 annually.
