KOSei'S COntCl' dinner meeting at Kogers' suite in a U.S. marshal dies in Washington gunfight By LEWIS GULICK Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Groymko dealth mainly with the European security issue in their Friday night meeting and will consider the matter further with President Nixon next week.

U.S. officials said questions of how to negotiate European security and mutual force reductions occupied much of the three-hour dinner meeting though Kremlin intent on how to achieve this remains vague. Meanwhile, Rogers slated a courtesy call on U.N. Secretary General Thant today. It has more than usual significance because 'Thant is Volcano in Hawaii erupts By ROBERT L.

CAMPBELL WASHINGTON (AP) -A deputy U.S. marshal was killed in a gunfight outside a church after the stepbrother of a prisoner he was guarding pulled a gun at the funeral of the prisoner's father, police said. brothers were wounded but managed to commandeer a passing car and lead police on a high- speed chase through city streets before they were captured two miles from the scene, authorities said. Screaming mourners dived under pews as the two made their escape from the "It was something like you see in the movies," said Mrs. Willie Christy, secretary of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church.

The Rev. Robert L. Rollins told police the mourners were just getting ready to view the remains when there was a lot of running around in the back of the packed church. "I looked up and three or, four people had their hands up," Rollins said. "One man was standing, waving a gun at them.

Everybody fell down between the pews. I hid behind the chancel." Police said Randolph J. 24, was sitting handcuffed in a rear'pew with several deputy marshals nearby toward the end of the funeral when his stepbrother, Lavance Green, 23, appeared next to the pew with a gun and ordered the marshals to unlock 'the cuffs, hand over Students and disabled vets stage big protest in Saigon SAIGON (AP) Students and disabled war veterans roved Saigon streets today, firebombing vehicles, burning campaign posters and setting bonfires to protest President Nguyen Van Thieu's unopposed candidacy for reelection. The demonstrators clashed sporadically with police who were put in force to curb what some antigovernment leaders had billed as a "weekend of confrontation." At least two persons were injured, a South Vietnamese policy chief and a U.S. sailor.

Three American vehicles, including a Navy truck and a station wagon believed to belong to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, were among the i c-1 firebombed by students. Late in the day, about 50 veterans, some on crutches, traveled about Saigon setting fire to election posters with Thieu's picture, building street bonfires of wood and old tires and painting the streets with slogans urging voters to boycott the Oct. 3 election. The earlier disturbances by students erupted two hours after Thieu, in a radio appeal, urged the dissident groups not to "sabotage the great cause" or "fall into the trap of other people Communists and their henchmen." Roving bands of students, the largest group numbering between 150 and 200, firebombed the vehicles in a thickly populated section of central Saigon, near the headquarters of the U.S.

Navy and the U.S. Agency for International Development. They firebombed two U.S. vehicles, a civilian Jeep and a Vietnamese police Jeep and attacked the Navy truck with firebombs and rocks. Brezhnev signs friendship pact with President Tito By BORIS BOSKOVIC BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) Leonid I.

Brezhnev flew unexpectedly to Hungary today after signing with President Tito a document he said provided "a firm basis for development of friendship and cooperation" between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Although the Soviet Communist party chief's schedule called for him to return to Moscow at the end of his four- day Yugoslav visit, he went to Budapest where the was welcomed by Janos Kadar, head of Hungary's Communist party. The apparent aim of these surprise visits was believed to be to brief the Soviet Union's two staunches! East European allies on Brezhnev's trip to this independent Communist country. Berzhnev told Tito at the airport that his three days of Intense talks with the Yugoslav leader were "necessary and successful" and had "paved the road to cooperation and friendship." The document was not released immediately. Sources said it was the result of a compromise between the two countries' positions.

Bidding Brezhnev farewell, Tito indicated that there had been some measure of agreement to reduce tensions between Belgrade and Moscow. "We completed a great job and cleared up many things which had accumulated through the years," he declared. "We have traced the road to future relations and Decided not to permit accumulation of some elements harmful for our relations." their guns and raise their hands. Outside the church, the brothers were confronted by marshal Norman E. Sheriff and, in the ensuing fusaiade, Sheriff was mortally shot in the chest and abdomen, police said.

The prisoner was shot four times and his brother, who was also wanted by police as a parole violator, was shot in the hand, authorities added. Despite their wounds, police sai dthe pair stopped a passing car, ordered the driver out at gunpoint and roared off. The car attracted police's attention as it roared through a nearby speed trap. After a high-speed chase by police cars and motorcycles that lasted about five minutes, the two were forced to the curb and captured without gunfire, detectives related. Police said Lavance Green was arraigned on a homicide charge and his brother was technically charged with homicide to be arraigned after he recovers from his wounds.

HILO, Hawaii (AP) Kilauea volcano on Hawaii roared to life again Friday night, spewing lava several hundred feet in the air. Tremors accompanying the eruption split the earth along a two-mile line. The eruption was accompanied by several sharp earthquakes, said Dr. Donald Peterson, scientist in charge of the U.S.

Geological Survey's volcano observatory. "We got a great volume of material coming out at first. It was coming out very fast, but has since tapered off considerably," Peterson said. The two-mile rift crosses Kilauea's floor and cuts through the Halemaumau firepit, Peterson said. He said lava from the eruption was flowing across the floor of the volcano with some of it pouring down tiie outside of the rim to the southwest.

The volcano erupted Aug. 14 with 10 hours of massive activity in the same general area. Darkness and poor visibility has not let tlie scientists get a close look at the latest eruption, Peterson said. Ogilvie vetoes bill to SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) Gov.

Richard B. Ogilvie's office announced Friday his veto of a bill to license travel arrangers, passed partially as a presponse to complaints about students stranded abroad on cut-rate tours. Ogilvie's veto said the bill would not have affected tour promoters operating in interstate commerce. He' has signed a bill to set up a commission to study related problems. Ogilvie also vetoed a bill to allow drivers for hire to keep their licenses despite three violations if they occurred outside their operation of a commercial vehicle.

He said the Secretary of State now has the power to issue restricted driving permits in cases of undue hardship, and annually issues more than 10,000 permits. retiring and a search is on for a successor The United States has yet to make known its choice for the No. 1 U.N. job Gromyko told newsmen that the question of the Secretary Generalship hadn't come up at the high level U.S.-Soviet meeting. Nor, apparently did a prune item for both U.S.

and Soviet policymakers. Rogers couldn't see any mileage in raising the Red China question with Gromyko, and for the Soviets it is a very sensitive subject. Friday's General Assembly vote of 65 to 47, with 15 abstaining, on a precedural issue was a preliminary victory of the two-Chinas plan proposed by the United States. U.S Ambassador George Bush said he was "tremendously pleased" though "we are not taking anything for granted" But a roll call analysis and statements made by a number of delegates made it clear that when the showdown vote comes next month, the two-Chinas proposal might only win narrowly if at all. Whether any progress was made in Rogers' parley with Gromyko Friday night was not clear.

U.S. officials said that Gromyko had not clarified previous vague Kremlin proposals on European security but the Russian's response also was not disappointing They said the atmosphere of the meeting was and that the Soviets still appear interested in talking about mutual force reductions in Europe.
