Early last week The State Poll conducted a statewide survey asking a scientifically selected representative -sample of the registered voters of California their opinions concerning the primary elections in June. In Sunday's report, The State Poll reported that Ronald Reagan is losing his once impressive lead over Christopher in the contest for the Republican nomination for governor. However, Reagan still leads Christopher by approximately 6 of the total vote.

Monday, The State Poll indicated that at the tiire the survey was taken, Democratic Gov. Brown had more than a 2-to-l margin over his nearest Democratic primary opponent, Los Angeles Mayor Samuel W. Yorty. Ilead-to-IIead Race Even though the two parties would nominate Brown and Reagan if the elections were held today, The State Poll also included Christopher and Yorty in head-to-head matching situations utilizing occupational and party, designations as they will appear on the actual ballot in November.

McNamara's confirmation came during a question-and-answer session before the annual convention of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He appeared on the same panel with Undersecretary of State George W. Ball. In his reference to a need for more U.S.

troops, McNamara noted that North Vietnam has moved to a posture of heavier infiltration of men and supplies into South Vietnam during the past 30 to 60 days. Red Troops Pour In Official estimates put the previous level of infiltration by- hard-core North Vietnamese troops at approximately 4,500 a month. It is understood that this monthly flow has now grown to something over 5,500. McNamara said North Vietnam's present troop strength in the south is more than 20,000.

FOLEY Timoa staff Wrttar WASHINGTON Two of President Johnson's top aides called on the nation's business leaders Monday to restrain prices, profits and expansion or prepare for a tax increase and stepped-up wage demands by labor. The annual convention of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was so advised by Commerce Secretary John T. Connor and Gardner Ackley, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. TJjeir speeches coincided with release of economic indicators that show the economy still moving upward but not at breakneck speed and with a soft spot continuing in housing.

Ackley was blunt with the business leaders. He conceded that costs have gone up but said earnings have climbed faster. "Either prices have been raised more than costs, or prices have not been reduced where costs, have fallen," he said. Take Home Pay No Higher The average real take-home pay of a factory worker was no higher in March than a year earlier, he said, because of higher prices, while corporate profits have risen 12 "Does anyone imagine that labor will continue to show moderation in its wage demands when prices and profit margins are continually rising?" Ackley asked. Such a wage-price spiral would lead to a "speculative boom that will bring on a bust," Ackley said.

He urged each businessman to "stop, look and listen. Is that price increase you are considering really necessary? Are there not some prices that, in the long run, competition is going to force down and that you can cut now?" he asked. Tax Increase Threatened If restraint is not shown, Ackley warned, the government will need to "clamp down on overall demand." The administration's chosen instrument for such actions is a tax increase. The same message came from Connor, although in somewhat gentler tones, as befits a secretary of commerce speaking to the Chamber of Commerce. As of now, he assured the businessmen, the "signs I read are facts, not tea leaves, and I don't think they are cause for undue alarm any mora than they are cause for complacency.

"I think they indicate we must be especially watchful and ready to act if necessary, but they do not, in my opinion, call for drastic measures on an emergency basis at this time." Connor urged the businessmen to "moderate expansion programs and to defer projects that are not essential until we are through this period when excessive pressures must be avoided.

The door failed to open fully and the switch was not triggered, although the gear was released for raising, and air pressure jammed the double wheels up against the partially open door, blowing one tire with explosive force. There was no way to bring the gear up into the wheel well, because door and gear were jammed, and no way to extend the gear again because air pressure held it firmly in the jammed position.

Paper Clip Saves $500 Million Bomber I imes Wins Pulitzer rnze for Coverage of Watts Riot BY MARVIN MILES Thnot Aoraiwet Itor A paper clip saved a $500 million XB-70 triple-sonic bomber Saturday after the plane's nose gear jammed against a faulty wheel well door at he beginning of a test flight out of Edwards Air Force Base, it was disclosed Monday. The gear finally was lowered and locked by ingenious use of the paper clip to short circuit two electrical points. But had it remained jammed, the bomber would have been abandoned. Strict test flight rules call for abandonment in such an emergency. The malfunction blew out one of the two nose tires and locked six of the eight main wheels, periling the landing with violent shimmying and long plumes of flame from burning tires and brakes.

Crewmen on the flight, a mission to fly the huge, white bomber at triple-sonic speed for 30 minutes, were Al White, chief test pilot for North American Aviation's Los Angele3 Division, and USAF Col.
