The Democratic and Republican leaders of Congress reported yestcrdav that Peking was worried by the possibility that the United States would let the Soviet Union forge ahead militarily. They also reported that the Chinese were concerned about a possible US pullout from international arenas such as the Pacific. Representative Hale Boggs, of Louisiana, the House Majority Leader, and Representative Gerald Ford, of Michigan, the Republican Leader, said they had spoken by telephone to President Nixon for about half an hour yesterday afternoon as soon as they had arrived back from China.

Their nine-day visit had included five hours of talks with Premier Chou En-lai. Mr Boggs told a news conference yesterday: "We were advised by high officials that the policy of that (Peking) Government is that dis was a great deal of interest shown and many questions asked about the sufficiency of our military capability and what our direction might be in the future with' respect to Defence Department funding and its program "They don't want the United States to withdraw from the Pacific or other points. "They believe our presence is important for the stability of the world now and in the future. The leaders did not armament will be not unilateral disarmament, and there was specific concern expressed rather emphatically with regard to the possibility of continued Soviet armament and American disarmament "As they put it, there are two superpowers the United States and Russia and if Russia becomes the greater superpower then much of the world is in difficulty." Mr Ford said: "Among high Chinese officials there mention proposals by Democratic Presidential contender George McGovern for deep US defence spending cuts, though Mr Boggs said Chinese officials had shown tremendous interest in the electoral proceedings now going on in the United States. Mr Ford said that the Chinese leaders, in asking questions about US intentions in defence policy, had not put them "on the basis of a Democratic or a Republican policy." Mr Boggs said the Chi- nese had approved the US Soviet agreement for the superpowers to curb their missiles while voicing a preference themselves for total world disarmament of all weapons.

The two leaders said Mr Chou had wished their talks to be confidential, so they would not give specific details of their discussions.

The leader of the group, the Egyptian Foreign NEW YORK, Sunday. On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Senator Edward Kennedy reiterated yesterday his vow not to accept the Vice-Presidential nomination.

"I owe it to my family I owe it to Joan (his wife), the children, my mother and my sister," he said in an interview with the Boston "Globe." "There is no way I will take the Vice-Presidential nomination. There is no way I will do it." he said. Senator Kennedy, who is spending convention week in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, said his administrative assistant, Mr Edward Martin, would be at the convention in Miami. Affairs under-secretary Mr Mahmoud Hassan el Ar-rousv. said the mission had Mr Martin would try "to dampen things down in case someone should try to push me into the Vice-Presidential nomination," Senator Kennedy said.

While concern for his family is the major reason for his refusal, Senator Kennedy said there were other reasons why he would not accept the post. "Basically, there would be more of a problem for me if I were to take the second place," he said. "I am close to McGovern in philosophy of Government, but I feel that I could achieve more for the nation as an independent voice in the Senate than by serving four or eight years echoing whatever the President happened to be saying. "Besides, I am not cut out that way. "I have to be independent.

I have to be my own man. "For me, at this stage of my political career, the Vice-Presidency is not the answer." In Miami Beach, Alabama's Governor George Wallace was given a singing, cheering, footstamping reception when he made a wheelchair appearance before his convention delegates last night, and promised to continue fighting for the Presidency. The right-wing Governor delivered brief, subdued remarks to the 1,000 delegates and wellwishers. But the real hit of the evening was his daughter own speech. She said that despite her father's "accident," he could still be a good President and "do the things other people can do." Governor Wallace's campaign manager earlier had claimed that Mr Wallace had an excellent chance of winning the Democratic nomination.

But the manager, Mr Charles Snyder, did not rule out the possibility that Governor Wallace might eventually become a Third-Party candidate, as he did in the 1968 election. "We don't know what we are going to do," Mr Snyder told a press conference.
