The ceremony was delayed for half an hour as the chance of heavier rain threatened to force the ceremony indoors, pi Then the bridal couple and their parents pi received the approximately 400 guests in the HI Blue Room of the White House, had their first dance together as husband and wife in the East Room, cut their towering 350-pound wedding pi cake and about 2Vi hours after the ceremony left on their honeymoon. JUST BEFORE their departure, Tricia Nixon Cox tossed her bridal bouquet from the red-1 carpeted grand stairway. It was caught by her maid of honor, Mary Ann Cox, 25, sister of the bridegroom.

There was a slight mishap at the cake-cut-H ting. As the newlyweds picked up the first piece, it fell in two. Cox took one half and placed it on top. Tricia then broke off a piece Hf and fed it to her new husband. He returned the gesture.

As they left from the front portico, President Nixon predicted they would "have a wonderful HI honeymoon something unusual for them totally private." He said it would be "without any Secret Ser-Hl (Turn to Page 2, Column 1 For Laos By ROBERT Tl'CKMAX SAIGON (AP) A new North Vietnamese drive threatened to cut across southern Laos yesterday and give enemy forces control of more major road and river supply routes. But a stinging enemy reversal was reported in Cambodia. The Cambodian high command in Phnom Penh claimed 350 North Vietnamese and Vict Cong troops were killed in a storm of strafing, bombing and ground fire in the battle for the Vihcar Suor Marshes cast of Phnom Penh. The battle for control of the capital's eastern defenses is in its 16th day. The command said its own losses were one killed and two wounded.

IN SOUTH VIETNAM, the other war-beset country of the Indochina peninsula, fighting came to a near standstill. The North Vietnamese advance in southern Laos appeared to be the worst threat. Reports from the Laotian capital of Vientiane said North Vietnamese forces had advanced to within 17 miles of Pakse, a regional capital and the government's headquarters for the southern militay region. Tank-led North Vietnamese troops overran the outpost of Ran Nik on Highway 23 Friday. The route, a major highway from the north, links Pakse with the Bolovens Plateau, just to the oast.

In mid-May, North Vietnamese forces captured the last government strongpoints on the plateau, thus protecting the western flank of their Ho Chi Minh supply trail from raids by Laotians. TO COUNTER (he threat to Pakse, the Laotian army rushed reinforcements to the imperiled southern sector. If Pakse should fall, it would nut the North Vietnamese on the Mekong River and within 20 miles of cutting across southern Laos to the Thailand border to the west. North Vietnam then would be in a position to use the mighty Mekong to send supplies to its forces in Cambodia as well as use Highway 23 and other routes leading south. The North Vietnamese would thus have gained alternate supply arteries to the much-bombed Ho Chi Minh trail of The Rolovens Plateau in eastern Laos.

Searches Begin Tuesday 1 WASHINGTON after their marriage in said the 1963 Chevrolet, driven by Arnold, apparently swerved off the interstate, traveling about 250 feet before striking a concrete abutment. Trimble said the car apparently was traveling at a high rate of speed and was headed south on the expressway when the 8 p.m. accident occurred one mile north of the Brentwood exit.

Courten is an adjunct assistant professor of astronomy at Dowling College on Ixtng Island and an optical systems engineer at the Grumman Aerospace Corp. He says he will present details of his work in a paper June 19 at an international symposium on the total solar eclipse of March 1970 in Seattle, Wash. BUT AT LEAST one leading astronomer, Dr. Brian Washburn said he approves of the idea behind the law.

"We have done this in a number of cases, and I think it's a good idea," he said. I THINK it's better if we can compel the traffic violator to come into court instead of just allowing him to pay a certain amount and then go free. It's a better experience for him to come to court and see that wc are interested in traffic safety rather than just in collecting revenue."

Other legislation established (Turn to Tage 8, Column 2) By BRIAN SULLIVAN NEW YORK (AP) A New York astronomer, reviving one of the great questions of science, says he has discovered what appears to be something orbiting the sun closer than the planet Mercury. He says that more extensive work is needed to determine exactly what has been found, but that it appears to be either a small planet or an asteroid Debbie L.

METRO TRAFFIC officers Charlie Trimble and Bill Eller belt inside the orbit of Mercury. THE EVIDENCE for this, he says, lies in a number of mysterious tracks that have shown up on photographic plates he made during the solar eclipses of 1966 and 1970. The astronomer, Dr. Henry C. Courten, says that highly sophisticated analysis the plates, incorporating a special scanner and computer, has indicated that there really is something there and that an accident are exempted from the provisions of the law.

Under the law, the driver is to be issued a receipt for the license, which permits him to drive until his scheduled court appearance.

ELLER SAID he believes the vibrations from the impact "traveled back to the interstate, causing the crack in the highway." Trimble said the impact also caused the concrete abutment to move 21 inches. Five other teenagers travel Vulcan? Marsden of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, is skeptical. "I don't think they have anything astronomical at all," Marsden said.

"They just haven't convinced me." However, Marsden said Courten and his associates should continue their work to resolve the question. There is a possibility of finding comets, the Smithsonian astronomer said, but added that finding a planet would be "earth shaking." Courtcn's work began as a search for comets, but he says the objects on his plates do not nave the characteristics of comets. COURTEN SAID he hopes that reports of his work will stimulate interest among scientists so more of them will be looking for the reported objects during the favorable conditions of the 1972 eclipse across Canada and the 1973 event in Africa. "The more eyes and minds we can get to work on this problem," he says, "the better chance we will have to develop really soiled data to determine exactly what we have found."

Judge L. Clure Morton.

THE TENNESSEAN sued the FHA under the Freedom of Information Act when the agency refused repeated requests for the name of an appraiser who valued a blind couple's home at more than twice the price at which other appraisers assessed it. THE HOUSE, at Rurrus was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh James lor $10,850. Two other appraisers valued it at $4,000 and $4,500.

The FHA offered to turn over to THE TENNESSEAN all the information the newspaper sought but deleted the name of the appraiser shortly before Morton denied the newspaper's motion for a preliminary injunction. Morton said the newspaper could not show it would be irreparably damaged, therefore the preliminary injunction was denied. He gave the government 60 days to prepare its defense. U.S. Atty.

Charles H. Anderson defended the deletion of the name as necessary to protect the person involved from harassment by the newspaper. WILLIAM R.
