Among the things Japan agreed to buy more of are agricultural, forestry and fishery products, jet airliners and uranium enrichment services. The bulk of the American goods are to be paid for in advance. Ronald Ziegler, White House Press secretary, eadier had made plain that negotiations would continue for a longer-range trade commitment by Japan, but Mr. Nixon apparently has not been able to sell Tanaka on proposals that would further ease the American balance of trade deficit. Ziegler said Mr.

Nixon was satisfied that Tanaka would not act in any way adverse to our interests when he traveled to Peking in late September or early October. Tanaka and Chinese Premier Chou En-lai were expected to establish diplomatic relations at an early date. American officials had been concerned that Tanaka's friendly move toward China might jeopardize relations with Taiwan, seat of Chiang Kai-shek's government. Mr. Nixon and Tanaka were to hold their final talks in.

1 Testimony of a photographer points to a second break-in at the Democratic national headquarters in which correspondence between party leaders was secretly filmed, State Attorney Richard Gerstein of Miami says. Gerstein said yesterday that a Miami commercial photographer had testified that he had developed prints of what appeared to be hand-written letters between Democratic leaders one week before five men were arrested inside the party's headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington. Photographer Michael i h-ardson identified the men who paid him for the special rush job on June 10 as former Central Intelligence Agency agent Bernard L. Barker and Frank Sturgis. The two were charged in the June 17 break-in at the Watergate, Gerstein said.

"The only conclusion you can reasonably draw is there was another break-in at the Watergate or somewhere else where these people came into possession of documents they shouldn't have had," said Gerstein, a Democrat who is running for re-election this fall. Gerstein said his investigation of the Watergate affair is continuing, but he refused to say whether formal charges would be filed. He said the inquiry was "totally nonpolitical." Richardson was subpenaed by Gerstein and gave a sworn statement last week. Gerstein said the photographer passed a 22-hour lie detector test yesterday "with flying colors." Martin Dardis, Gerstcin's chief investigator, said that Richardson's role came to light with a tip from an unidentified third party. In his statement, Richardson said Barker and Sturgis came to his father's firm, Rich Photos, on June 10.

He said the two men described the photographs as "legal documents and notes, stuff like that." But Richardson said when he began to develop the 8-by-10 prints, he a to suspect "some sort of hanky-panky." Richardson told investigators that the 38 pictures from two rolls of 35-m i 1 1 i film showed what appeared to be personal correspondence e-tween Lawrence F. 'B i then chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and other Democratic leaders. He said many of the letters were signed simply, "Larry." While he processed the film, Richardson said, Barker and Sturgis waited across the street in a restaurant. Barker telephoned him at least three times demanding to know when the prints would be ready, he said. Barker paid him $93.30 for the prints, including a $10 tip, Richardson said.

He said he thought little else about the incident until June 19, when he saw Barker's picture in a newspaper as a suspect in the Watergate break-in, then: "I ran my fanny right down to the FBI. When I saw something wrong, I did something about it."

Nixon and Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka agreed today that Japan's overtures toward China were to be considered a further step toward relaxation of tensions in Asia and would not harm existing defense alignments. A communique issued in the final session of two days of talks between Tanaka and Mr. Nixon included also a promise by Japan to increase purchases of United States goods by 1.1 billion dollars the next two years. It said that future high-level meetings would be held to work out a more permanent solution to the growing deficit in U.S. trade dealings with Japan.

The leaders said also that fundamental reform of the international monetary system was essential but no mention was made of revaluating the yen, a move that would have immediate impact on the chronic U.S. trade deficit. Tanaka and Mr. Nixon announced that a meeting of the joint United States-Japan Committee on Trade and Economic Affairs would convene early next year "to review evolving economic relationships." The 12-point communique said the talks were "held in an atmosphere of warmth and mutual trust, reflecting the long history of friendship between Japan and the United States." It made these other points: (1) The recent opening of talks between North and South Korea is welcome as another indication of the movement toward peace and stability in Asia.

CURRY Of the Post-Dispatch Staff At least 32 persons or one every other day were wounded in assaults related to a dispute among drug pushers in three near North Side housing complexes in a two-month period this summer, a police memorandum says.

The report, written by a detective to the commander of the Fourth Police District, indicates that nine other persons were shot or otherwise assaulted in disputes arising out of the narcotics traffic. More Army Bugging By SEYMOUR C. HERSH 6 1972, Xew Tork Times Xewj Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-Army files show that electronic eavesdropping on civilians by the military was far more extensive in the Johnson Administration than had been disclosed and included the illegal monitoring of private radio transmissions during the 1968 Republican convention and during the trial that year of Black Panther leader Huey Newton. A series of secret mnmoran-dums, made available to the New York Times, showed also that high officials of the Nixon Administration had withheld information on the electronic snooping at Senate hearings last year into Army surveillance.

Much Information about the extent of Army spying on civilian antiwar groups has been made public since the first disclosure by a former agent in early 1970, most recently in a Senate subcommittee report published this week. But until yesterday, only one incident of electronic surveillance had been cited, involving the monitoring of private radio transmissions by personnel from the Army Security Agency at the Democratic convention in 1968. The documents show the eavesdropping at the Republican convention and the Huey Newton trial were authorized by the then Army chief of staff, William C. Westmoreland. The Republicans were monitored from Aug.

6 to Aug. 10, 1968, after Army counterintelligence personnel received "reports indicating that pro-Castro and other dissident elements might initiate disruptive tactics," said a memorandum dated February 1971. The Newton trial, in Oakland. was similarly monitored for "suspected dissident communications" in early September 1968. In each case, the 1971 memo-r a said, the operations were terminated "without obtaining any intelligence." The documents show that Westmoreland's predecessor as chief of staff, Gen.

Harold K. Johnson, had approved electronic eavesdropping of private radio communications for three earlier activities the march on the Pentagon in October 1967, the riots in Washington in April 1968 and the Poor 1 's March in May and June 1968. Westmoreland replaced Johnson on July 4, 1968. The documents show that all of the electronic eavesdropping of events nn the Washington area was done by Army Securi ty Agency personnel working out of the Vint Hill Farms station, an Army installation in Warren- ton, that is a local point for the Army's monitoring of foreign embassy radio communications.

The title match had a limit of 24 games. Today's victory gave Fischer 12'2 points to Spassky's Fischer won seven games, each worth a point. Spassky took three, including a forfeit. Each of 11 draws was worth half a point to each contestant. Fischer, 29 years old, is from Brooklyn.

He is to receive $156,000 in prize money, counting a bonus put up by a British fan. He will reap further thousands in book royalties and other fees before he has to defend his title in 1976. Spassky, who is 35, is to receive about $100,000 as runner-up. He had won the title in 1969 from Tigran Petrosian, a fellow Russian. Russians have almost monopolized title play most of this century.

According to one police source, the assaults have been the result of a fight over disputed territory for the drug traffic in the area. The leader of the Pruitt-lgoe faction sought to expand into the Carr Square area, the source said, but found the community already controlled by another person. The top Pruitt-lgoe pusher then agreed to bring his competitor into his camp, but the The shooting, in the garage section of the former DeBaliviere streetcar barn at 577 DeBaliviere Avenue, was witnessed by other employes, who ran when the bullets began to fly.

One witness, Arthur Mann, gave the following account to police: "Blockton came in shortly before 11 o'clock to pick up a pay check. He got in an argument with Parrish, then accused Gray of filing a complaint against him. Gray denied doing it, and the argument got hot. Then the shooting started. "Gray was shot first.

Witnesses said Blockton ran outside and drove away in his automobile. A woman was thought to have been waiting in the car, which was found abandoned at Chouteau Avenue and rattan Street, in south St. Louis police said. Police learned that Blockton had attempted to borrow an automobile from relatives of the woman. He had visited several apartments in the Clinton-Pea-body housing complex without obtaining a car.

Setting the ceiling at No. 95 assures "almost three-fourths of the men who faced induction during 1972 that they will not be called this year," the announcement said. The 15,900 will raise the year's total to the 50,000 that Secreatary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said the Army would need this year to fill its ranks. This compares with more than 94,000 men inducted in 1971 and 163,500 in 1970.

Schmid took the call and informed the Americans, but they initially refused to accept the resignation as official. Schmid's announcement made it official. Fischer arrived at the playing hall 15 minutes late after Euwe had ruled that he would have to appear to claim the title.

Fischer walked on stage and stood looking at the chessboard with one hand on his hip. Then Schmid stepped forward and declared him the new champion. The capacity crowd of 2500 Icelanders cheered and began a slow handclap. Fischer walked off, and the ceremony was over. Spassky did not appear.

Frank Skoff, president of the United States Chess Federation, said Fischer had not been in- formed of Spassky's telephone call and had been analyzing the game position until the last minute. The match between Fischer and Spassky had excited fans throughout the world. Fischer saw the match as a personal vendetta against Russian domination of chess. At the end, feelings between the two players appeared to be less than cordial. Euwe said he wished Spassky had shown up at tne playing hall to congratu- late Fischer but added that the Russian "was a little bitter." Fischer had shown up for the start of the match several days late.

He had kept Spassky waiting, leaving New York only after the British fan, financier James D. Slater, had doubled the purse to $250,000. Fischer told friends he thought he had a winning position on the board when the Russian champion sealed his forty-first move and play was adjourned yesterday. At that point, Spassky had four pawns and a bishop and Fischer a rook and two pawns.

But engineers, architects and other professionals preparing to go ahead with the plan were confident today that it was well within the realm of possibility. They pointed to other cities, such as Los Angeles, where inflatable dams have been used successfully for years. "We've had no problems with ours, except for minor vandalism," said Curt Eshelby, head of the hydraulics division at the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, in a telephone interview. The same kind of inflatable dams are being proposed for the River Des Peres as part of the $14,100,000 recreational development plan announced yes-t a by the Metropolitan Sewer District. Engineers at the sewer district, members of the St.

Louis Beautification Commission, ecologists at Washington University and architects at Robert McMahon and Associates have worked for more than a year to develop the plan, which includes the basin area on the river and recreational developments at River Des Peres Park Louis for recreational activity. and Willmore Park. River Des Peres park is on the west side of the river bank; Willmore Park on the east side. Two dams, 15 feet high and 200 feet wide, would be placed in the river channel near Mor- ganford Road and Lansdowne Avenue. Rainwater or city water would be trapped between the dams, a i a basin that would be 10 to 12 feet deep and 150 to 200 feet wide.

Because river bank slopes, the surface area of the basin would depend on the depth of the water. The concept of using inflatable dams began when the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power installed one in the early 1960s, Eshelby said. Since then, he said, the Flood Control District has i a 1 1 three more, as part of its water-storage system.
