Price Test May Lie Ahead Dow Jones News Service NEW YORK, Dec. 7 Prices of corporate and municipal bonds currently at their highest levels in more than a year will be tested this week by a 1.1 billion dollar influx of fresh securities. In the tax-exempts market, dealers will be asked to bid for about $644,800,000 of state and local government bonds in one of the heaviest five-day financing loads on record. In the shadow of this overhanging supply municipal dealers in the of the sharpest price rally in recent years demonstrated their faith in continued gain by buying big blocks of bonds late last week. When prices rise bond yields decline.

So a high-grade municipal bond due in nine years and available at a price yielding 3.60 per cent last week would seem attractive to investors who believed that after this week's auctions the same security would be priced to yield, say 3.50 per cent. Dealers and investors with visions of continuing price gains bought about $18,000,000 of previously unplaced New York State Housing Finance Agency bonds Friday, underwriters said today. More than $10,000,000 of Los Angeles Department of Waand Power securities also were purchased, underwriters said. In many quarters the thinking seems to be that the Federal Reserve will continue pumping funds" into the banking system in an attempt to counteract unemployment and lagging economic activity. Some specialists, noting that the unemployment rate rose to 5.8 per cent of the work force last month, the highest level since the early 1960s, foresee an acceleration of the central bank's credit-easing policies.

At the same time, the specialists said, any unexpected about-face in the central bank's recently expansionary stance would be costly to bond dealers. Miff the Fed starts cutting back on bank reserves, I suppose we'd get creamed," one tax-exempts dealer said this week. For the past few weeks, however, the inventory bond houses and dealer-banks have compiled a Midas-like record. Rumors of million- dollar profits run up within a week's time were common last week. Over the past six weeks, as one measure of the market's change, the Dow Jones municipal bond yield a ver a has dropped more than one full perceritage point to 5.39 per cent from 6.49 per cent.

This change translates into a $137.50 gain in the market value of a $1000 tax exempt bond due in 20 years. The current reading is the lowest since the 5.37 per cent. recorded in the week ending May 16, 1969. Changes in the corporate sector where about $443,300,000 of securities are expected this week have been equally dramatic. In the last week of October.

a unit of American Telephone Telegraph Co. sold a $150,000,000 issue of debentues at a price yielding 9 per cent. Last week, Southern California Edison Co. sold a $100,000,000 issue of bonds securities rated lower than the unit's debentures at a price yielding 7.85 per cent in 25 year. The latter financing represented the first time a similar high-grade issue had been priced to yield less than 8 per cent in about 15 months.

Up to this point, investors have been willing to buy securities offering yields considerably less than returns offered only a few months earlier. In the municipal market, casualty insurance companies have been aggressive buyers of lower-grade long term issues. Banks normally attracted to bonds due in one to 10 years recently have begun buying longer-maturity issues with higher yields. In the corporate market, life insurance companies, state and local pension funds and savings banks have been active bond purchasers. Individuals have continued moving their savings into debt securities retail, bond houses say.

None Assumes Blame For Defector Foul-up WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (UPI) -The White House, the Department of State and the Transportation Department today all disclaimed responsibility for the denial of asylum to a Lithuanian sailor who tried to defect from a Soviet ship. In separate developments: The State Department said a Coast Guard admiral acted on his own initiative in ordering the sailor returned: to Soviet custody. The Transportation Department said the State Department had not given the Coast Guard advance guidelines about defectors, and when the incident occurred, it did not advise the Coast Guard of the guidelines.

The White House said "proper procedures" of communicating the incident were not followed and it did not learn of the details and circumstances until six days later. The incident took place Nov. 23 when the cutter Vigilant and forcibly dragged back to the together near Martha's Vineyard, for a discussion of deep sea fishing problems. The radio operator of the Soviet ship, identified as Simas Kudrika, 32 years old, jumped onto the deck of the cutter and requested political sanctuary. Several hours later he was forcible dragged back to the Russian ship by Soviet crewmen.

The White House today made public reports from both the State and Transportation Departments on the incident. White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said President Richard M. Nixon "spent much time" reading the departments' reports. Ziegler would not comment further except to reassert that Mr.

Nixon did not learn of the incident until he read news reports. A report by Secretary John A. Volpe, of the Transportation Department which administers the Coast Guard, said that "four immediately apparent problems emerged from our investigation: "The Coast Guard did not retain the defector aboard the Coast Guard cutter pending receipt from the State Department of specific guidance, and the Coast Guard did not notify in a timely fashion the State Department of subsequent developments. "There was inadequate under- Nixon Is Told Rail Strike May Start Thursday John A. Volpe WASHINGTON, Dec.

7 (AP) -Railroad union officers have warned President Richard M. Nixon that they plan a nation wide strike at 12:01 a.m. Thursday unless they win their wage and other demands, sources said today. Meanwhile, it was learned, continuous talks conducted by the Department of Labor remained stalemated in the government's efforts to head off the walkout. Officers of four AFL-CIO unions told Mr.

Nixon that they will be legally free to strike at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, and unless there is an agreement with the railroad industry. "We, intend to exercise that right. The four unions representing in clerks, trainmen, track maintenance workers and dining car employes have rejected the industry's offer totaling about 37 per cent over three years. The proposal would boost wages by an average of $1.32 an hour for the nearly 500,000 workers involved who now average between $3.45 and $3.60 an hour.

The unions demand a threeyear wage package of $1.65 an hour plus cost-of-living pay and other benefits. They object also to proposed work rule changes. standing between the Coast Guard and State Department on the most effective channels for communications with the Department of State on refugee and defector cases. "Before this incident the Coast Guard had not received from the State Department guidance as to general policy with regard to defectors, and, therefore, had not issued instructions internally Such guidance had been furnished by the State Department to other military services and embassies and on a local basis to the Coast Guard district office i in Miami regarding Cuban refugees." "When this incident arose, the State Department did not inform the Coast Gunrd of these general guidelines relating to defectors." The Transportation Department report noted that a formal inquiry was being conducted "so that all facts and circumstances can be fully developed." The State Department based much of its own defense on handling of the case on a report that it received saying the incident involving the defector been resolved." As it turned out, the State Department said there was a "discrepancy between the statement in the press release that the sailor's return to the Soviet ship had not taken place until about midnight on Nov. 23 and the information that the department had received at 7:45 p.m.

on that date that his return had already been effected." The State Department gave chronological details of telephone calls to Coast Guard headquarters starting at around 1:45 p.m. Nov. 23. The department's report said that Edward L. Killham of the office of Soviet Union affairs was inormed about the possible defection.

The State Department report said that at about 3:15 p.m. Killham called the chief of the Coast Guard intelligence staff of the Coast Guard and informed him "that the possible defector should not be encouraged and noted the possibility of a possible provocation. The State Department report said Killham "had in mind a number of examples over the past years in which the Soviets have. staged fake defections in order to lay a trap to embarrass us." Democrats Face Fight FROM PAGE ONE can gain a majority in the caucus, Representatives Edward P. Boland of Massachusetts or Daniel Rostenkowski of Illinois will surface as a darkhorse 'compromise choice.

The rival candidacies pose a problem for Representative Albert, who will succeed to the speakership as a result of the retirement of Representative John W. McCormack of Massachusetts. Congressional sources report that Albert has taken a neutral position so far on the choice of a floor leader. If he maintains a hands-off attitude, the contest in the caucus is likely to be wide open. But Albert's hand could be forced.

by the fact that the Democrats are on the offensive in Congress as a result of their victories in the mid-term elections. There appears to be a more militant attitude in the Senate, perhaps because there are several presidential hopefuls in that chamber. But the liberals in the House also want to contribute to legislative accomplishments on which their party can run in 1972. SOME CONGRESSIONAL strategists believe, this may exert implicit pressure on Albert to indicate a preference for. a liberal floor leader.

They point to Albert's recent appearance at an orientation meeting for new members of the House. The meeting was conducted by the Democratic Study Group, an organization of Democratic liberals in the House. Albert praised the group in. glowing terms and "all but urged the new members to join it," said a representative who attended the meeting. If Albert abandons his neutral position, it may become known through two Oklahoma Democrats, Re presentatives Tom Steed and Ed Edmondson, who are considered close House colleagues of Albert.

"If Carl Albert 'decides he wants a certain man for floor leader, we will probably get the word first from something that Steed or Edmondson says, a liberal spokesman said. "So far, all the Oklahoma Democrats have been the soul of purity." With about 100 members, the Democratic Study Group is the largest of the major power blocs in the Democratic caucus. But if both Udall and O'Hara stay in the race for floor leader, the liberal vote nay be split. O'Hara is a former chairman of the study group and Udall has been active in its leadership for several years. BOGGS, who has been assistant Democratic leader or whip since 1962, is counting on support from the Southern Democratic bloc, a dwindling but still potent power base.

Although Boggs's voting record is rated moderate to liberal, he is believed to have retained considerable support among Southern members. Sisk's entry into the race was a blow to Bogg's hopes.

The California Democrat, once active in the Democratic Study Group, has moved sharply to the right in recent years on issues such as school desegregation and home rule for the District of Columbia. This is believed to have impressed Southern members on whom Boggs is counting. Studies by Congressional Quarterly have shown Sisk with a 40 per cent record of opposition to the Southern Democratic-Republican coalition last year, compared with 100 per cent opposition in 1959. A third power bloc whose strength also has diminished in recent years is composed of Democratic members allied with political machines in large Northern and Eastern cities. There are about 40 to 50 of these members, and most of them are expected to support O'Hara.

O'HARA'S backing is deeper than this, however. He is a close ally of George Meany, president of the AFL CIO, and Andrew J. Biemiller, the AFLCIO's chief lobbyist in Congress. Moreover, O'Hara is considered one of the most steadfast and effective men in the House on education, health, civil rights and social welfare legislation. The general belief is that issueoriented liberal Democrats will have a hard time choosing between O'Hara and Udall.

Udall, who ran against McCormack for Speaker last year and got 58 votes, has been conducting an active campaign for the floor leader post. His strong opposition to escalation of the Vietnam War has won him support among antiwar Democrats, and he has backed reform of House procedures while at the same time trying not to alienate middle-of-the-road members. There will be 255 Democratic members in the House next year, and 180 Republicans. The Democratic caucus, can adopt any voting procedure it wants, but a majority vote is likely to be required rather than a simple plurality. This would mean that 128 votes would be needed for selection as floor leader.

One informed estimate is that there would be about 100 votes for a liberal, issueoriented candidate and about the same number for a more conservative candidate. But there are two candidates in each category. The votes of about 55 middleof-the-road members will be crucial, as will the votes of the 33 new Democratic members of the House. If the caucus deadlocks, with no candidate able to muster a majority, it is possible that Boland or Rostenkowski will emerge as a compromise. Boland, a close friend of Speaker McCormack, is a moderate who might be acceptable to the warring factions.

Rostenkowski, a. machine Democrat from Chicago, is chairman of the Democratic caucus. U.S. Steps Up Bombing Of Targets In Laos FROM PAGE ONE period as well. Further Pathet Lao successes seemed forthcoming.

THE SHIFT to bombing towns and villages and subsequent forced refugee movements was designed to forestall this possibility. It sought to deprive the enemy of porters and potential recruits, destroy indigenous food stores, demoralize the civilian population and otherwise weaken Pathet Lao fighting potential. A major goal has been to reduce the Pathet Lao population base by encouraging civilians to take refuge with the Royal Lao over n- ment. Refugees from more heavily bombed areas say that planes came almost daily, often as many as 10 times in one day. Those from such Pathet Lao centers as the Plain of Jars in the north and Moung Phine in the south report that their villages were leveled, and that bombing continued in and IA SER DINOd1D313 THE USE DEATHS Melms MELMS, FRED Dec.

Property damage has been considerable and tens of thousands of casualties have occurred. The air war has grown from modest tactical air support to the Lao army to one of the most protracted and extensive bombing of civilian targets in history. This shift came while the Air Force was exerting increased control over the air war. The Embassy in Vientiane still maintained authority over all strikes in Laos. Although debate was continuous within the Pentagon, Department of State and CIA over the nature of the air war, by 1969 all American agencies had concurred in the decision to attempt to damage the physical and social structure of the Pathet Lao so as to deny them victory.
