James Caviness. Neither of the two joined the rejoining petition from its present multiple family zone. The action is a step that many Church Street residents have wanted in order to preserve the historical flavor of the neighborhood.

IN OTHER action Monday, the commissioners recommended denying a specific use petition for a day nursery at 3030 Lamar Ave. According to Realtor Bill Pitts, who represented, the owners, the house at that location would be used both for personal living and quarters and a nursery. However, at least six neighbors were present to voice their "opposition to the proposed nursery. "If I had wanted to live near -a schoolyard," noted Charles Ruff, "I would have bought.a home near a schoolyard." Ruff also voiced concern at added noise and traffic.

Pitts said no buildings would be constructed, several of the homeowners said they were shown a map-by an associate Pitts where a a farmer, said recently. "He shows us all up."

Brandt Quits Top Post in Germany BONN, West Germany (AP) Germany's ruling Social Democratic party nominated sharp-tongued Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt today to succeed Chancellor Willy Brandt after Brandt's unexpected resignation. Brandt, 60, whose "Ostpoli- tik" policies for East-West detente won him the Nobel Peace Prize during his years in office, fell victim to a spy scandal on top of state election setbacks for his socialist party.

Foreign Minister Walter Scheel, Brandt's vice chancellor and the leader of the junior partner in the coalition government, took over the caretaker cabinet left by Brandt. He will serve until Schmidt's election by the lower house of parliament. Heinz Kuehn, deputy chairman of the Social Democrats, told newsmen Brandt himself proposed the 55-year-old finance minister as his successor. Schmidt was nominated by the party's presidium and a caucus of its members in parliament was called for later today to approve the nomination. Kuehn said Brandt would retain the chairmanship of the party, despite his retirement from the government.

The Social Democratic spokesman emphasized that the party would continue its al- with the Free Democrats, whose 41 seats the-lower house give the government a majority of 46 instead of leaving it 36 seats in the minority. Word of Schmidt's nomination was immediately sent to a Free Democrat caucus, and no opposition was expected there. The chancellor's resignation letter to President Gustav emann Monday night- "said' Brandt took responsi- bility for negligence" in appointing a spy for East Germany, Guenther Guillaume, to an important post in the chancellery. Political experts said Brandt also resigned because of the recent setbacks in state elections and opinion polls that showed support for his policies had dropped to about 30 per cent, down from 43 per cent as late as last October. And one senior American official in Washington said Brandt's customary vigor and enthusiasm had been replaced in recent months fay a puzzling and alarming apathy.

The political crisis caused by Brandt's resignation was considered the worst in West German history and was expected to have repercussions far outside Germany's boundaries, especially among its partners in the European 'Common Market.

Soviet obstruction as Kissinger pursues his shuttle diplomacy be- -tween Israel and.Syria.

"A-senior "U.S. official told" newsmen Kissinger hoped his meeting with Gromyko would, "nudge disengagement along."

The suprise meeting was announced Monday after a full day of talks between Kissinger and leaders of the Israeli government about terms for withdrawing from some of the Syrian territory she' captured in the last two Arab-Israeli wars.

Scott, who has defended the White House and said portions of the transcript he saw last winter showed Nixon's in- r.ocence, gave reporters some sharp comments on them based on reading about 800 of the 1,300 pages. "I Mhink it's a shabby, disgusting immoral performance," th said. Asked" if he meant by the President, he replied "by each of those persons according to Scott said "I am enormously disturbed that there was not enough showing of moral indignation." However, he declined to say anything further and, when asked if he still thought the transcripts "exculpate" the President, said he stands on a statement he made last Friday. At that time, he said the full transcripts of the Mar 21 meetings involving President Nixon and former counsel John W. Dean III are consistent with the summaries and excerpts he was shown last winter.

Meanwhile, the Senate Watergate- committee said it still needs five subpoenancl House tapes, despite President Nixon's release of edited tran- scripts of the conversations. the same time, White House lawyers were given five more days Monday in which to stave off a showdown with the Watergate special prosecutor over 64 tapes sought for use in the Watergate cover-up trial. The Senate committee, in papers filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals, called Nixon's transcripts "suspect" and "neither complete nor accurate." The court had asked the senators what slake they still have in the court fight in light of disclosures already made, including the transcripts. The committee sought tapes covering five presidential conversations in a subpoena issued last July 23..

Monday it said the tapes still are needed if the committee is "to inform the public of the extent of corruption in the executive branch." The committee said that even the incomplete versions of the conversations covered in the transcripts vindicate its claim that the tapes are needed. The committee it is essential that it have a complete and accurate account of the conversations. "The committee should not have its legislative missions on the. basis 'of transcripts, that-are suspect," the committee said. "The public facts demonstrate that- the edited versions provided the public are neither complete nor accurate.".
