Wfo'ufoi Id Satarty. ksi 17. 3 Cease fire 1 Price board hopes to avoid action on food a A Sato steps down as head of Japan TOKYO ITI Prime Minister Eisaki Sate Japaa resigned today, after a record tenure of almost eight years. The 71- ear-old prime minister, who saw his aatioa of 103.000,100 skyrocket economi cally to become the third most powerful industrial power ia the world, made his announcement before a general meeting of Liberal Democratic Party members of both bouses of the Diet The anouncement was not unexpected.

Sato's resignation was expected to touch off a political scramble among four hopefuls to become his successor. LDP sources said a party convention ill be held July in Tokyo to elect a new party president, who by tradition be-comes the next prime minister. i'i '-'x e- AN 4. 1 UPI Teleohoto I I i'i -v i f'-l I 1 ,4 Chains, said meetings have been held with consumer groups to tell them to expect a big increase in meat prices because of the sharply rising wholesale price level. For instance, the price of a wholesale beef carcass has risen to over $60 per hundred-weight, the highest in memory, he said.

"There doesn't seem to be any stop to it." LOUIS Neeb, the Price Commission's executive secretary, said the commission is not certain at this point if anything will be done. He said no one is certain how long the rise in food prices wll last. But he said that if the acceleration in food prices upsets consumers enoughto damage the credibility of the wage-price control program, then the commission will have to act. "If they don't start going down and it jeoprdizes the program, we're just going to have to act," Neeb said. WASHINGTON if-The Price Commission, faced with a new round of retail food price increases, is beginning to discuss taking action to restrain the rise in coming weeks.

The commission could conceivably freeze food prices or limit the cost that retailers can pass on to purchasers. But any action will be taken only as a last resort, a high commission official said. The commission will discuss the problem of rising food prices, particularly meat, when it meets Wednesday. The commission staff is expected to be directed to research the impact of a while range of possible actions. AS the government considers what to do, major retail food chains are passing word to consumer groups that a sharp rise in food prices, especially beef, should be expected soon.

Iron Curtain crushes couple's gift of trousseau Remembers comrade Harry Hardin, 77, a gold miner for the past 31 years, lost his donkey, Sunshine, in floods in the black Hills of South Dakota last week.

He's been given another but composed a poem to his missing four-footed friend: 'Today, I'm a tired old cowboy, I've been in the soddle all day, searching the plains and valleys for cattle that strayed away. Sunshine is tired and leg-weary, his feet were broken and sore. He went down the river, and we'll meet on the other shore. I'll give him a handful of sugar and watch him say thanks with his eyes. We'll ride that Milky Way up yonder for the range boss up on high." $2,675 contributed for flood victims' aid Delawareans have contributed $2,675 so far to the Rapid City, S.D., flood relief fund.

"Sanity and common sense must prevail before it is too late. The danger of intersectarian conflict is very real." Whitelaw's statement followed proposals he made Thursday to steer Northern Ireland toward a political settlement. These included local government elections in the fall designed to give both the Protestant majority and the Roman Catholic minority a voice in running the province. But he indicated yesterday this all depends on community cooperation and an end to the violence that has left 368 dead in the past three years. Otherwise Britain, which assumed direct rule of the province March 30, might have to take stronger action, he intimated.

The violence continued. A bomb attack on Londonderry's guildhall was the second there in a week. In Belfast, sniper fire hit British troops and 300 youths dragged away cars, set them on fire, and then tried to barricade a street in the Catholic Andersontown district. No injuries were reported in any of these incicents. At the same time, however, pressure mounted for peace moves.

Lucy Faulkner, wife of former provincial premier Brian Faulkner, said Catholic women were joining women of the Protestant-based Unionist Party in a peace petition. More than 10,000 signatures had been gathered throughout Northern Ireland "transcending all political boundaries, she said. The Social Democratic an Labor Party, a Catholic sup-ported opposition group, appealed again to the Irish Republican Army for a limited cease-fire. Envronment principles go to U.N. STOCKHOLM (AP) The U.N.

Conference on the Human Environment.overriding Chinese objections, adopted yesterday a declaration of principles to guide the way to a cleaner, healthier world. The Chinese insisted that the conference condemn the superpowers for "plunder, aggressive war, colonialism and neocolonialism." The declaration is the first world charter spelling out the principles of international behavior and responsibility on the environment. The document, however, will have binding effect only after the U.N. General Assembly approves it at the next session in the fall. The statement was heavily amended durng five days of arduous closed door sessions to take account of Chinese ob-j i Brazil also disapproved of some of the original language of the principles.

China opened the debate in yesterday's plenary session by announcing the declaration unacceptable. Chief delegate Tang Ke demanded the conference condemn "the main reasons for pollution in socie-t namely "plunder, aggressive wars, colonialsim and neo-colonialism of the superpowers." He deplored omission of the Vietnam War and the fact there was no call for abolition and destruction of nuclear weapons as well as biological and chemical weapons. The conference overrode China's objection and adopted the controversial principle 26 to which he referred. This read: "Man and his environment must be spared the effects of nuclear weapons and all other means of mass destruction. States must strive to reach prompt agreement, in the relevant international organs, on the elimination and complete destruction of such weapons." datelines 3000 301?

LaSaun-ders Hudson, who held a state tax agent hostage for eight hours demanding to speak to the governor, was ordered held yesterday for grand jury action on charges of assault to murder and carrying a weapon. A charge of kidnaping was dismissed for lack of evidence at a hearing before city judge Ray Churchill. Hudson's bond was set at $2,000. Hudson. 29, held agent Donald Duncan until Gov.

Winfield Dunn flew here from Nashville late Thursday. Duncan, who was released unharmed, said his life was threatened repeatedly by Hudson. IT all began about noon Thursday when Duncan and three other agents went to a dry-cleaning establishment of which Hudson was co-owner. They had a warrant for $167 in back taxes, and revenue officials said they sought to take Hudson's equipment. Hudson earlier had told state officials he would not pay the taxes because of what he claimed was the state's lack of action on black problems.

The other three agents were foced to strip and were released, still naked, into the street. But Duncan said Hudson held a pistol on him, demanding to talk face-to-face with the governor. Four men were inside the store with him, Duncan said, and tried to provoke him into arguments over racial questions. NONE of the tax men was harmed in the incident. City Council Chairman Fred Davis said Hudson "was having financial troubles.

I guess the state agents were the last straw." Echeverria urges unity in '3d world' WASHINGTON (ITI)-Pres-ident Luiscneverria Alvarez of Mexico, acting as spokesman of the less developed nations, yesterday called on the developing world to unite against the large powers who he said are neglecting them. "The negligence of the great powers with respect to the less powerful countries has brought about a new division of the world." told the Organization of American States (OAS). "We are witnessing class division in international society." Echeverria. winding up a two-day state visit to Washington, addresses a special session of the OAS council shortly after he told the National Press Club that he and President Nixon had agreed on a "new. frank and open style of diplomacy" between Mexico and the United States.

As he did Thursday during a joint session of Congress, Echeverria again criticized the United States and other large powers for working out agreements at the expense of the developing nations of the "third world." "Th world power centers are making the major decision of our time." he told the OAS. "The joint action of the countries of the so-called third world has become necessary vis a vis the oligarchical trend that prevails 1 l'VC ViK nal and said he would like to go to the Russian Embassy in Washington and demand reason.

"If I had the freedom to choose my challenger I would ask for Fischer." Spassky told a news conference. Their world championship matches start July 2 at Rekjavic, Iceland. Spassky, 35, was reluctant to comment on the 29-year-old Fischer's boast that he'll win the championship and his accusations that the Russians had plotted to deprive him of the title by arranging to hold the games in Iceland.

it mi aMiiiiM aw i aii i By Scott Hubbard Steve Kirylik was visibly up-s as he unwrapped the crushed postal package yesterday. "It was just returned from Russia there is no explanation of why," he muttered in a low voice. The white lace dress, the fragile hair ornament, the gloves, the slip, even the material for the veil were pulled one by one from the battered box. "MY wife and I sent it April 11 to my niece, Lila Zvirko, who lives with my mother in Barancviczy," Kirylik explains. It was in plenty of time for the June wedding, he said.

"It is something I really wanted to do, to send this girl the wedding dress. My wife and I we picked it from the catalogue, from Penney's, and Barbara (Mrs. Kirylik) even cut cut a picture of the dress and sent instructions of how to wear the hair ornament to my niece. Right now Lila must wonder why we haven't sent it. She must be waiting and waiting." Early in the spring the Kiry-liks received a note from Lila: and now I have a request, Uncle and Barbara, please send me a wedding dress and veil and gloves." STEVE Interjects, "My wife thought the pearls and other things would be nice they were her idea." The letter continues, "I 'xnow it is hard for you with ycur boy in college and of course, your mother just received a package from you, but if you will send the package to the post office, then I can pay customs here." But yesterday Kirylik got back the crushed package.

"The mailman says everything was in order from here it was all done by international law, but it has been returned from Russia for no reason." He explained that his niece and her have lived with his mother, Olga Kirylik, since Lila's father was sent away, apparently as a political prisoner. The big man struggled to keep his voice even. "I have never seen this girl I haven't seen my mother since 1943. Barbara and I talked of saving the money so she (mother) could come to visit us, but she wrote back "forget "We (Barbara and Steve) came to the United States in 1949 to Texas and in 1951 we moved to Wilmington.We try to send packages back, but it's so expensive.

Arab editor urges end to Mideast cease-fire By United Press International An influential newspaper editor and confidant of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said yesterday that Egypt must end the Middle East cease-fire "by political and military force" without delay because the current no-peace, no-war situation only helps Israel. Mohammed Hassanein Heikal.

Soviets crack down on bottoms up MOSCOW flPl The Soviet Union yesterday decreed prohibition Moscow-style with orders that will dry up much of the production, sale and consumption of vodka, brandy and whiskies. The aim is to slay "The Green Dragon" Russia's most popular cheap vodka and other hard liquors that contribute to widespread alcoholism and drunkenness in the Soviet Union.

The tool designed to work where all else has failed will be an unprecedented set of "dry laws" outlined in the form of government decrees and orders in Pravda, the Communist Party newspaper. In essence, they will stop the public sale of the strongest vodkas and hard liquors entirely and restrict the sales of weaker alcoholic drinks to places where on-duty workers cannot conveniently get them.
