The payments-of $138.1 million to the United States and $37.7 million to Canada are due Dec. 31.

They include interest and capital repayments on postwar reconstruction loans of $5.5 billion, a figure which also included the final windup of World War II lend-lease repayments. CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer James Callaghan announced the deferment in a written renlv in the Wmisp nf Hnmmnns tn Tom Dalyell. The chancellor Johnny Unitas was held for no gain in Wilmington's Chancery Court yesterday as his team mates in a bowling business venture trailed in the first quarter. Passer Unitas didn't even suit up for this one, although one of his business associates was accused of heaving a brick, not a football, through a plate glass door in a Dover bowling alley. Unitas is a partner with George E.

Banks III of Baltimore in the Colt Pinsetting which owns and leases automatic pinsetting machines. Banks is also general manager of Colt Lanes of Dover, a bowl ing establishment in the Rodney Village Shopping Center. UNDER a conditional sales contract in 1961, Colt bought 24 alleys and pinsetting machines from the Brunswick which manufactures and sells bowling lanes and pinsetting equipment, Brunswick, according to its Wilmington lawyer, Courtney Cummings recently took over the lanes and equipment when the Colt organization de faulted in its payments. Unitas and his associates were not in court as Cummings out lined Brunswick's complaint to Chancellor Collins J. Seitz.

Battaglia termed the Chancery Court suit "an inappropriate way to try title to possession." After Cummings said Brunswick didn't promise a lease to any of the defendants, Battaglia claimed Brunswick "had knowledge" of this at the time of the foreclosure. Seitz granted the temporary restraining ooder sought by Brunswick. He said he thought it would cause "the least eco nomic harm" for Brunswick to operate the alleys until the con flicting interests are settled.

The chancellor ordered Bruns wick to post a $10,000 bond. He set Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. as the hearing date on Brunswick's motion for a preliminary injunction. Nobel physicist's rites scheduled MT.

VERNON, N.Y. (UPD A requiem Mass will be offered Monday for Dr. Victor Hess, 81, Nobel prize winner who discovered cosmic rays. Hess died at his home here Thursday night. The Austrian-born physicist, who received the Nobel Award in 1936, performed the first tests in this' country on radioactive fallout from 1946 to 1950.

A former physics professor at Fordham University, he wrote four books and more than 150 scientific articles.

The latest storm, Opal, claimed 26 lives and left damage estimated at about $25 million. Brunswick give up possession and had five of its employes arrested on trespass charges. CUMMINGS said Unitas was not there during those events, but relief is sought against him as a partner in the enterprise. The Brunswick attorney went on to say that the trespass ac tions in a magistrate's court have been held up pending a ruling by "a court of competent I jurisdiction" as to which side has the right to possession. Meanwhile, Cummings added, Brunswick employes are afraid to try to enter the building because of what has happened.

The court was asked to restrain the Colt interests from in terfering with Brunswick and decide that Brunswick has a su perior right in the lease and an exclusive right to possession. Victor F. Battaglia, a lawyer appearing only for Colt Lanes, said Colt didn't bid at a foreclosure sale because of a prom ise by Brunswick that if it withheld bidding, its lease would be renewed. IN ATTEMPTING to bring its claimed right of possession to trial, Battaglia asserted, Bruns Johnson said he has ordered Secretary of State Dean Rusk to begin immediate talks with all governments potentially affected by the new routes. Once preliminary arrangements can be reached, he said, "We will be ready to go ahead with selected site surveys."

Wickstrom, director of the program, yesterday went over an 18-page description of the planning work to be done in the three-year program, to cost an estimated $865,000.
