ROBERTS Washington Post Service WASHINGTON North Vietnam yesterday strongly indicated rejection of the British plan for peace talks.

It did so through a Hanoi radio broadcast of an official North Vietnamese news agency dispatch quoting an army publication. While this was short of a formal turndown, it, followed the pattern of many past rejections of peace talk proposals. AS MONITORED in Tokyo, the article said the proposal by SAIGON (AP) In a heavy blow to the North Vietnamese Air Force, U.S. warplanes knocked down seven fast, modern MIG21s yesterday in the biggest air battle of the war, the U.S. command said today.

U.S. B52 Stratoforts kept the aerial pressure on the Communists today with a predawn raid near the city of Hue on the northern seacoast of South Vietnam. The attack was close to the area where 1,000 Communist troops were spotted infiltrating into U.S. Marine positions Saturday during the New Year's truce period, a U.S. spokesman said.

Standing bareheaded in a chill wind warming under a bright sun, the 57-year-old Phoenix radio executive recited the brief oath at 11:05 a.m. on a platform at the east side of the Capitol. The oath was administered by Arizona Chief Justice Charles Bernstein, clad in black robes of office. Mrs.

Williams held the silver-bound Bible contributed to the state for such occasions. IN MEASURED tones familiar to his radio listeners, Williams observed the audience was there to witness "something more significant than the exercise of ritual required by last November's judgment." "You have come to this place not to honor one among many selected to take up the burden of government, but rather to demonstrate your devotion to that understanding of the sovereignty, the dignity and worth of an individual responding to the imperatives of freedom manifest in representative self-rule." he declared. "We must deny partisanship which would advance party over public." he counseled. "We must accept angry criticism and refuse an audience to those flattering voices intent upon diverting us from our objectives." Among the 1.500 persons witnessing the ceremony were state officials of both parties, a bloc of visiting Mexican dignitaries and Williams' three children, Fic, 23, Mic, 21, and Nikki, 17. After the 14-minute ceremony, the shivering audience gratefully moved into the Capitol rotunda for an hour-long reception.

HEADING the reception line were Sen. and Mrs. Paul Fannin, the Williamses and Hermosillo Mayor Alberto Gutierrez, representing Sonora Gov. Luis Encinas, who is ill. In his five-minute address, Williams said free government is a precious privilege: "It was purchased on the battlefields of Runnymede, Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, Belleau Wood, Normandy and Iwo Jima."

He estimated dogfights took place from 30 to 40 miles north and northwest of the Communist capital. The spokesman reported no American planes were lost in the action that swirled over the Red River Valley during fighter sweeps around the areas of Hanoi and Haiphong. A Hanoi broadcast said two U.S. planes were shot down near Hanoi and a third was downed off the coast southeast of Hanoi. A U.S.

spokesman said the loss of the advanced model MIG21s, a delta-wing interceptor capable of 1,500 miles an hour, was a serious blow to the North Vietnamese air force. "They only have about 75 MIGs, so if we got seven of them we got almost 10 per cent of their air strength," the sources said.

It is as noticeable in the energy and diversity of artistic and intellectual activity as In the westward flow of population and industry. The West Coast has the desire, Imagination and means to challenge the long-distance dominance of the East. This much was unmistakable to one who spent some weeks recently on the West Coast. Symptomatic of the fresh vigor and boldness Is heretofore has been Castro's prerogative Other officials would also be keynote speakers at major ral-rics, Castro said, adding that the rallies would be smaller and less frequent because of their cost.

"IT REQUIRES a tremendous effort to speak at these multitudinous concentrations," he went on. "This does not mean that I am tired, (but) 15 years of struggle has put a heavy load on the shoulders of a very small group of men and has created a new situation In which we should divide our functions more and more." Reliable reports from Cuba have recently suggested that there is opposition within the Havana regime to what was described as an rult built around Castro's per sonality. the kind of planning going on at the new San Diego campus of the University of California. Although the second of 10 planned Alleges will not open until the fall, there is a blueprint for an institute for advanced study in the arts that has no parallel in the country. The Institute will include a drama center under the direction of Michael Langham, who helped build the theater at Stratford, into one of the continent's finest; a Bach center headed by Rosalyn Tureck, distinguished Bach scholar and Interpreter, and writing, film, contemporary music and visual arts centers.

The plans for this institute have yet to be ftp- 'a proved by the university's regents. But there is hope that the authorities, even under Gov. Ronald Reagan's new administration, will affirm the wisdom of a bold approach to integrating the arts for the benefit of undergraduates, graduate students and the community at large. The West, it is true, still looks uneasily to the East for models, guidance and critical applause. The Los Angeles Music Center, which will open the second and third of its three buildings in the spring, is an adaptation of the principle of New York's Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts, but the chances are strong that it will end by hew- (Continued on Tage 4, Col.
