The nationwide survey showing this investment in bonds issued by New York City, New York state or New York state agencies, was demanded by Rep.

TVA Debt Hike Advances List Narrowed to Court Nominee Bomb Explodes In Jerusalem; 6 Dead, 40 Hurt By ARTHUR MAX JERUSALEM (AP) A bomb exploded yesterday near busy Zion Square in downtown Jerusalem, send ing bodies flying through the air and killing six persons and wounding 48, authorities said.

The bomb went off in a shop only 20 yards from the spot where explosives packed in a refrigerator blew up last July 4, killing 15 and wounding about 70. Yesterday's blast shattered windows only recently replaced after the summer attack. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS said 14 of the wounded were released within five hours of the explosion. In Beirut, an Arab guerrilla splinter group of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLO) called the Popular Democratic Front claimed responsibility for the bombing. The general command of the guerrilla forces in Beirut andthe umbrella PLO in Damascus issued statements saying Palestinian guerrillas were responsible without specifying the PDF.

Israeli police threw a dragnet around Jerusalem and the army radio station said 200 Arabs had been detained for questioning.

Hugh L. Carey's fiscal plan has been implemented. Ron Nessen, the Presidential press secretary, indicated that such aid would now be considered because the White House regarded Gov.

Hugh Carey's fiscal plan' a de facto default. He recalled that the President had said that he would "veto any legislation that has as its purpose a federal bail-out of New York City to prevent default." CONGRESSIONAL supporters of financial aid to the city noted, however, that the governor's proposed moratorium on the payment of city notes did not constitute a legal default, much less the bankruptcy upon which President Ford had conditioned federal aid to assure essential services. They nonetheless welcomed the presidential shift even though it was based on what they considered a political tactic to enable the President to take action without appearing to change his mind. For the first time in two months, Nessen declined to say that the President's opposition to aid for New York had not changed.

The adjustment for December is based on costs in October which reflected a decline in the amount of power purchased from other systems to make up for the loss of generating capacity at TVA's Browns Ferry nuclear plant in North Alabama and for unavailable generating units out of service for scheduled maintenance and repairs at TVA's coal-fired power plants. A BREAKDOWN of the December adjustment shows $4.66 for coal and 85 cents for purchased power. Lee Sheppeard of TVA's information staff said the average cost of coal burned in October at TVA's 12 coal-fired steam plants was $18.37 a ton, compared to $9.56 a ton for October a year ago.

mv. LV1 Mentioned for High Baker Plans Kelley Meet On Break-In By KIRK LOGGINS Tennessean Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Sen. Howard Hwill meet with FBI Director Clarence Kelley Monday about his request that the FBI investigate a break-in at his home here last August. At the time, Baker was inclined to dismiss the incident as of no consequence, but he had second thoughts as a result of a similar burglary at the home of Sen. Charles Mathias last weekend.

THE PARALLELS between the two cases are striking enough for Baker to want the FBI to look into them and see if they are related. Possibly the most important parallel is that both Baker and Mathias are (Turn to Page 8, Column 4) Choice Could Be 8 Women From Wire Reports WASHINGTON The resignation of Supreme Court Justice William O.
