U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, who has carefully nursed his friendship for Thieu through five years, is already hard at work attempting to sugar-coat the pill being thrust upon the South Vietnamese president. Still, few expect Bunker's task to prove simple. The cautious Thieu could delay things for a time.

In any event, few observers in Saigon believe any cease-fire could be agreed upon before the American presidential elections Nov. 7. WHEN THE Hanoi politburo Thursday blew part of the cover from the secret talks in Paris, it disclosed that a cease-fire had been negotiated with the U.S. but that the Saigon government then stalled the le agreement. The U.S.

presidential security adviser, Henry Kissinger, later disclosed that Hanoi had also insisted that the cease-fire agreement be signed by a deadline of Oct. 31 or all bets would be off. In his press conference in Washington, Kissinger extended I only the faintest of hope that the Oct. 31 deadline could now be met. In Saigon, even that faint hope was ruled out.

"That Oct. 31 date is now a matter of face and you can bet Thieu will never give in before then," one Western diplomat commented. ALTHOUGH he is putting the best face on things, Thieu has been less than happy with the Americans since Kissinger arrived in Saigon Oct. 18 with a detailed report on Hanoi's cease-fire proposals. Following Kissinger's departure six days later after more than 15 hours of oftenheated discussions, Thieu went on the air to vent his opposition to a cease-fire without adequate guarantees and the implication was clear that he didn't think Kissinger had obtained enough such guarantees from Hanoi's negotiator, Le Duc Tho.

But Thieu said at the same time: "To tell the truth, my countrymen, sooner or later there will be a cease-fire." HOWEVER, when the first word of Hanoi's Thursday announcement reached Saigon, the palace reaction was bitter. A report was circulated that Thieu would hold himself aloof from the negotiations. Some lower officials in the presidential circle hinted that Saigon would make no objections if the U. S. negotiated a prisoner return in exchange for an end to the bombing of North Vietnam.

A later goverment radio broadcast similarly hinted at this. Officially, however, Thieu kept his silence and was at some pains to avoid outward signs of any differences with A News Analysis the U.S. establishment. Similarly, the U. S.

embassy was going out of its way as was Kissinger in Washington -to avoid further upsetting Thieu. THERE appeared to be some element of guilt in the U.S. attitude. Embassy officials insisted Thieu had been kept fully informed of developments in Paris. Kissinger made a similar assertion.

Kissinger admitted, however, he moved ahead rapidly in Paris in the interest of attempting to meet the deadline Hanoi set during the Oct. 8 meeting. Presumably, Thieu was informed of this development when he met Oct. 10 with Bunker. Thieu had one more brief meeting with Bunker on Oct.

14, but it was evident Thieu was still somewhat taken aback when Kissinger appeared four days later and attempted to win his immediate approval for a package larger than he had anticipated. SOME EXPERTS believe that when Thieu has made his point, he will reluctantly accept a cease-fire. Most observers here think Thieu is trying to show the Vietnamese he is properly defending their interests. Helicopter Inventor Igor Sikorsky Dies EASTON, Conn. (P) Igor I.

Sikorsky, the Russian-born inventor of the helicopter, died Thursday at his home. He was 83. Sikorsky, who built and flew the world's first successful helicopter and then went on to build one of America's largest aviation corporations, died of a heart attack one day after making a consulting trip to his Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. in nearby Stratford. HE RETIRED from Sikorsky, now a division of United Aircraft in 1957, but went to the plant twice a week as a consultant.

"He kept very much up to date," said Frank J. Delear, public relations manager of Sikorsky and author of its founder's biography. "The only handicap in the last couple of years was that his eyes were bad from glaucoma, and he had to have things read to him. "Since his retirement, the outstanding thing he did was to really conceive and develop the Skycrane helicopter." THE SKYCRANE chopper, designed to haul heavy equipment in military and industrial applications, was Sikorsky's final advancement over the first, unsuccessful helicopter he built in his native Kiev in 1909 at the age of 20. He built the world's first successful helicopter in 1939, flying the machine at Stratford.

SIKORSKY was born May 25, 1889 to a family dominated by clergymen and physicians. He built his first fixed-wing aircraft in Russia in 1910. He The Weather 30.:.20 Data From NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, 20 NOAA. U.S. Dept.

Olds was the target of renewed criticism Thursday from the State Board of Personnel Review which recently rescinded Olds' firing of an undercover campus policeman.

Reinhold Mohr was reinstated to the campus force Oct. 12, but not before the board blasted Olds in a seven-page ruling accusing him of, among other things, "trying to appease certain campus elements." Olds responded by charging the Board with dragging its feet on the case which took more than five months to settle and said the university was unable to determine why all six students whose sworn affadavits provoked the May 6 firing were not properly subpenaed by the Board. Igor Sikorsky amassed and the lost a fortune in the armament industry and later, after the triumph of the Communist revolution, emigrated from Russia in 1919. AFTER short stays in Eng- land and France, he came to America and founded the Sikorsky Aero Engineering Corp. in 1923.

The firm built the S-29A, a twin-engine, allmetal transport, and a number of other planes, including the S-38 amphibian that Pan American Airways used to blaze trails to Central and South America. Sikorsky's company joined United Aircraft Corp. in 1929. Survivors include his wife, four sons, Sergi, vice president of Sikorsky Aircraft in Speyer, West Germany; Nikolai of West Hartford; Igor Jr. of Simsbury, and George of Poughkeepsie, N.

a daughter, Tania von York of Easton, and a nephew. THURSDAY, Board members Earl W. Allison and Frank E. Avren told Olds in a letter it was not the Board's fault that only three of six witnesses subpenaed at the university's request showed up at the Oct. 4 hearing for Mohr.

"Each was subpenaed at the address or addresses furnished to us by KSU or its counsel," they said. KSU made no request that any of the three missing witnesses be cited for contempt or that the case be postponed, they added. BOTH Board members renewed their charge that Olds sought to appease the student body by firing the 25- year -old Mohr. "It seemed to us that the acceptance of the affidavits from obviously biased persons without the slightest substantiating evidence, and the summary rejection of Mr. Mohr's denials supported by information in the possession of your United eral Motors Assembly Divi- vote sion here today on giving the union strike authorization as part of nationwide protest of work procedures.

The other UAW union at Lordstown Local 1714 of the Fisher Body Fabricating Plant Wednesday received strike authorization from its 2.500 members over the same issues. Local 112 has 7,800 members on the Chevrolet Vega and truck assembly lines. No strike date has been set, but sources indicated if authorization is given, a walkout could come next week. THE IMPENDING strike here, and others proposed or in progress at GM plants assembly disline putes. Sources said Local 1112 probably ask the International UAW to give the company five days in which to iron out grievances presented by the union.

If they were not settled, the union could strike. A union source predicted a walkout here most likely would not exceed four days, because the International UAW would be obligated to pay strike benefits if employes stayed out five days. The International has said it will make production a key bargaining point when contracts are negotiated next year if the differences are not solved now. First Sale Of A-System In Europe Babcock Wilcox Co's German subsidiary is a member of a consortium scheduled to build a 1,215,000 kilowatt nuclear power plant in Germany.

"Hopalong" sady filed $1 dammillion suit Thursday in Federal Court against two Columbus vice squadsmen who arrested him Sept.

29 on charges stemming from an I-71 accident. The suit contends Patrolmen Gary W. Burgess and Robert Coakley deprived Cassady of constitutional rights, beat him unnecessarily and embarrassed his family. Cassady said police charged him with two traffic and two criminal offenses to cover their own "vicious criminal acts." He also said the police conspired to defame him by making false, charges about him that were printed in newspapers and broadcast around the nation. Police conspired to file false and untrue charges of leaving the scene of an accident, drunk driving, resisting arrest and assault and battery against him, the suit says.

Man Slain In Canton CANTON Police said they expect to arrest a suspect today in the shooting death of a Detroit man. Nelson T. Crawford, 44, was fatally shot in the head at about 8:30 p. m. Thursday while he was visiting a house at 1308 McKinley av.

Mohr was arrested April 24 by Kent city police for carrying a Russian made AK-47 automatic rifle and a Chinese rocket launcher.

The KSU Veterans Against the War admitted setting up Mohr for the arrest because they said he had advocated killing policemen. Criminal charges were dropped against Mohr after U.S. Treasury agents ruled the weapons inoperable. SIX STUDENTS who had contact with Mohr then filed affadavits with the university demanding Mohr's firing. Olds said he fired Mohr because it was the only way he would get a fair hearing off campus and before the Board.

The Board members said Olds' charge that the Board took five months rather than 30 days to hear the case was "totally unjustified innuendo." The delay was necessary because of legal questions raised in Portage County Common Pleas Court, they said.
