New Air Drive Is Readied Two Governors Set Meetings To Plan Battle NEW YORK UO The governors of New York and New Jersey plan to meet ttm 11 i 1 soon ior an an-out auacK on air pollution" armed with a report calling for federal participation in an agency to enforce laws tougher than any on the books of both states. Spokesmen for Govs. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Richard Hughes of New Jersey an nounced plans for the meet ing after a series of strong recommendations to cut use of pollutant producing fuels in the 16-rmllion 1 ation metropolitan irea were made Thursday, The recommendations came out of a conference last week sponsored by the federal De partment of Health, Education and Welfare that included representatives to the city, both states and the Interstate Sanita tion Commission. The report concentrated the use ef fuels containing sul phur.

Burning of these fuels sends up clouds ef sulphur diox ide, which experts consider a health hazard. Sulphur Fuel Ban Urged It called for banning the use af high-sulphur fuels in homes and factories other than power plants after Oct. 1, 1969. New York City's law requires use of fuels with no more than 1 per cent sulphur after May 20, 1971. After the 1969 date, the conference recommended permitting natural gas, 0.2 per cent sulphur-containing coal or 0.3 per cent sulphur-containing oil.

Power plants would be limited to fuels with less than 1 per cent sulphur after Oct. 1, 196920 months sooner than required by the city law. New, expanded or rebuilt plants would be forbidden after July 1 unless they had assurances of a 20-year suppy ef low-sulphur fuel. Effective Date Nears New Jersey's pollution code goes into effect March 1 and requires then that industry emit no more than 3,000 parts sulphur dioxide per million parts of air and no more than 2,000 parts a year later.

Japanese correspondents in the Chinese capital said the "extra" issued by the 235th Army detachment also reported Communist party General Secretary Teng Hsiao-ping one of the chief targets of Mao rse-tung's purge and Yang Hsiu-feng, president Df the Supreme People's Court, attempted suicide. Earlier today one of Mao's mouthpieces, the theoretical journal Red Flag, disclosed that some nominal followers of the party chairman have become alarmed by the turmoil sweeping the Chinese mainland, saying, "You are going too far" and "You are making a mess of it." Quoted Guard But the official Peking People's Daily quoted a Shanghai Red Guard as saying, "We will give the enemy no quarter and will not quit until complete victory." The army wall paper did not give its source for the suicide reports. There have been several such from Hong Kong recently. Rumors swept Peking in mid-December that Lo had killed himself, and a Red Guard who defected said in Taipei Dec. 27 that Lo jumped off a building but only broke a leg.

The wall paper said the 60-year-old Lo once China's dreaded secret police chief and a member of the ruling party politburo died after his sec ond suicide attempt "because he was afraid of his crimes." Had High Fosts Po I-Po, besides being a vice premier, was chairman of the state Economic Commission and analternate member of the Politburo. There was no way of confirm ing the wall -newspaper's re ports which was also relayed to Belgrade bv the Peking cor respondent of Tanjug, the Yugo slav news agency. Neither Peking radio nor the New China News Agency carried it, but it has not been their practice to carry wall newspaper reports. The paper also said Tang Ping-chu, acting editor of the Peking People's Daily, and Hu Chi, president of the New China News Agency, had plotted re bellion against Mao in mid- November. LAKEHURST A day-long search by ships and aircraft yesterday failed to turn up a Itrace of a Naval Air Station pSased 4 member helicopter combat support crew reported missing off the North Carolina coast.

The search was resumed today. The helicopter crew, attached to Squadron 4 here, was on a medical evaluation flight off the amphibious' command ship Taconic near the North Carolina coast when it lost ra dio contact at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday as it was en route back to the ship from Camp Lejeune, N.C. MD Also Aboard Also aboard the helicopter was a Navy doctor attached to the Taconic. Squadron Cmdr.

Donald Cook last night said the missing helicopter crew has definitely been identified as one of his squadron's group. All five men aboard the aircraft were listed as missing by the Navy. They were identified as: Lt. Peter J. Nelson, pilot, son of Mrs.

Emily K. Nelson, Wran- geii, Alaska; Lt. (j.g.) William Thomas Foley, co pilot, husband of Mrs. Sydney Foley, Pinehurst Estates, here: Lt. Thomas Lee Angres, Navy doc tor, husband of Mrs.

Beverly Ann Angros, Virginia Beach, ADR-2 Arthur Raymond Hanson, husband of Mrs. Carol ise. FrankljP' and ATN-3 George Frederick Takla, son of Mrs. Sally Takla, 618 74th Brooklyn, N.Y 5-Minute Fuel Supply A spokesman fer the Atlantic fleet amphibious force said it was believed the helicopter had only a five minute fuel supply left at the time it sent its last radio message. The aircraft then was about 20 miles from the Taconic after flying a member of the ship's crew te the Camp Lejeune hospital.

Commander Cook said none of the planes or helicopters participating in the search are from Lakehurst. A station spokesman said the crew left Lakehurst last Monday. It had been scheduled to be attached to the Taconic for 14 days. 3 Years at Base Station records show that Lt. Nelson is a Naval Academy graduate, a five year Navy veteran, and has been stationed at Lakehurst fer a little over three years.

Lt. Foley has been at Lakehurst for about a year, with previous service at Keflavik, Iceland. ADR-2 Hanson, a seven-year Navy veteran, has been at Lakehurst a year and a half. He holds a private pilot's license. ATN-3 Takla has been in the Navy for two and a half years, and at Lakehurst for the past year and a half.

Republican opposition to a resident Johnson makes boost he seeks. The two minority leaders de livered their joint appraisal ast night before some 250 Re publican colleagues in the Cap itol's hot, crowded old Supreme Court chamber. Ford said November's election victories gave the GOP a mandate to chart "a new direction for America As we look ahead, Republicans see a program of sensible solutions for the seventies," he said. Democrats Chide "Why don't we come up with some positive solutions for the sixties? Senate emocratic leader Mike Mansfield asked later. Another Democrat was more caustic in his assessment of the appraisal I gather that Messrs.

Dirk sen and Ford are strongly in support of the Vietnam war, but strongly opposed to paying for it," said en. Albert Gore, D-Tenn. "This would have those who are fighting and dying make the only sacrifice. Ford spliced into his speech a call for legislation "requiring television and radio to provide free and equal treatment to major parties and their spokes men" between, as well as dur ing, political campaigns. Dirksen said Johnson spent 70 minutes on the air deliver ing his State of the Union mes sage 10 days ago.

"Tonight, we have but 27 minutes. That's not quite equal time," he said Ford outlined Republican do mestic proposals, listing stream of GOP offerings which have been advanced before. He advocates increased social security benefits, higher payments to veterans and their families, a system of tax sharing to return some federal revenues to the states, an overhaul of the antipoverty program and the streamlining of government.

Acting Prosecutor Robert H. See FIRE Page 6 more about the foundation's National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) project before taking a firm position for their districts. The Carnegie Foundation has said the project "might con tribute a more accurate guide for allocation of public and private funds and decisions affecting education." The AASA says the project involves comparisons of educational systems at the national level without regard to local characteristics; that the project would yield little, if any, information on pupils' performance not already known; that schools would be forced to teach for the tests; that through such a testing program a private group could influence public school curricula without being held accountable to the U.S. Office of Education, a state or the electorate.
