Evening VVi r.i.ngton. March 20, 1974 Award-Winning Newscaster Cliet Huntley Dies of Cancer Syria Says Israelis Lose Armor Javits Assails Buckley Bid for Nixon to Quit fill-, move unflaggingly towards impeachment and trial." Javits said he thinks Buckley's statement "is very important because it comes from a loyalist" and is certainly "not helpful" to the administration. Former Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, meanwhile said she opposes suggestions that Nixon resign because it would amount to another Watergate coverup. I oppose resignation," Mrs.

Smith said in a statement issued from her Washington home. "It would be just another coverup, depriving the American people of getting the truth and the facts. "The only way to achieve this," she said, "is through the impeachment trial WASHINGTON (AP)-Scn. Jacob K. Javis, disagreed today with the proposal by his conservative colleague, Sen.

James L. Buckley, that President Nixon resign to pull the nation "out of the Watergate swamp." He told a news conference he doesn't want to do anything "which may tend to drain away the resolution of the Congress to proceed with impeachment and a Senate trial if there be impeachment "The question of resignation is up to the President, not up to us," Javits said, noting several times that Nixon has said he won't resign. Javits said resignation is "a way which will save everybody a great deal of trouble" but that, as a 26-year veteran of Congress, "it is my duty to Huntley said AFTRA didn't represent him. "Newsmen just don't belong in there with actors, singers, dancers and announcers, and I was't about to stand still and be pushed around," he said. His house was picketed, windows were broken and he got threatening mail and phone calls.

Shortly afterward, Huntley was forced to sell 350 head of cattle and close a New Jersey farm because of rifle sniping and vandalism to the herd and ranch. In 1968 the FCC rebuked NBC for letting Huntley deliv-er attacks on the federal meat-inspection requirements while he had interests in a cattle-feeding firm. Huntley was angry. "Damn! I owned 1 per cent of a feeding company. Does that mean that everybody who has a piece of stock in a company must issue disclaimers if he is to speak about related subjects?" he said.

Huntley wrote a book about his early life in Montana. He was married twice. He had two daughters by his first wife, Ingrid Rolin. They were divorced in 1959. His second wife was Tipton Stringer, once a weather lady for a Washington TV station.

When Huntley went back to Montana there was talk of his running for the Senate. But he said he found Mike Mansfield was going to run again and you'd be an idiot to run against Mansfield in Montana." Instead, he did TV commercials, taped a radio show, and promoted Big Sky a rich man's resort near Bozeman, Mont. The Big Sky project got him in trouble with conservationists. He called them so-called conservationists. At the Watergate hearings, John W.

Dean III said that Huntley was on the White House "enemies list," apparently because of a magazine article critical of President Nixon. Huntley said the article was wrong. Dean acknowledged the White House once tried to stop Big Sky, but later changed heart. Huntley denied there had been any White House pres-sure on him to support Republicans in exchange for green lights for Big Sky. In 1967, when AFTRA struck the networks, Huntley crossed picket lines and went to work at the NBC studios in Rockefeller Center.

Continued from Pgt On him if he was Chet Huntley, Brinkley could now say: "No, ma'am, he is the one out West on the horse." Huntley was born in Card-well, son of a telegrapher. He won a scholarship to Montana State College in 1929. Three years of premed led nowhere. Then he won a national oratory contest and a scholarship to the Cornish School of Arts in Seattle in 1932. He switched to the University of Washington the following year and "since my dad was only working two days a week in the Depression" he supported himself by working as a waiter, telegram delivery boy, window washer and by selling pints of blood.

In 1934 he got a $10-a month job with a 100-watt radio station, KCBS, in Seattle. In addition to his salary, he got laundry service and was allowed to use sponsorship accounts to trade for food. There was no wire service, so he bought a Seattle Star and rewrote it for a 15-minute newscast every night. In 1938 he went to CBS in Los Angeles, as correspondent for 11 Western states. In 1951 he switched to ABC in Los Angeles, and four years later moved to NBC in New York.

DAMASCUS, Syria tfl -Syrian forces today knocked out a number of Israeli tanks and half-tracks in renewed fighting in the Golan Heights, the Syrian command reported. The tense front flared when, according to the Syrian communique, the Israelis tried to strengthen their northern positions with half-tracks. "Our forces intercepted the enemy force and inflicted direct hits on it," the communique said. Fighting spread to the central sector, and the Syrian communique claimed "concentrated fire hits" on Israeli gun emplacements. The clash lasted 80 minutes, and the Syrians said the Israelis suffered the following losses: "Direct hits in two forward positions, with one observation post destroyed; direct hits on a tank batallion command post and a half-track emplacement." It did not mention Syrian losses.

The fighting marked the ninth straight day of hostilities on Golan Heights. Two United Nations observers were wounded in cross-fire there yesterday. AP Wirephoto justice iMinu, vny not young: Indiana's Marc L. Griffin wonders 17 -Year-Old J. P.

"I hope she Nixon in Early Stroll, Visits Lunch Counter HOUSTON 1UPI) President Nixon took an early morning walk today and wound up having coffee at the lunch counter of a drug store about three blocks from his hotel. Accompanied only by Secret Service agents, the President strolled to the Keystone Drug Store, chatting with people who came up to him. Gerald Warren, deputy White House press secretary, said some complimented him for "a good job" during last evening's televised news conference and others said, "We're with you." Warren said the drug store was fairly crowded, and Nixon signed autographs and talked to the other customers. The President was joined later by White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler.

Griffith, a Republican eligible to vote for the first time this spring, was appointed White River Township's first justice of the peace on Feb. 19 by Johnson County commissioners. Gov. Otis R. Bowen commissioned him the same day, making him Indiana's youngest public official.

The small community is about 10 miles south of here. He says he will seek to keep the office despite Atty. Gen. Theodore L. Sendak's opinion yesterday that a justice of the peace must by law be at least 21 years old.

Griffin, who turns 18 on May 25, contends there is no specific age limit, allowing any registered voter to serve. "The township has invested a lot of money and I've invested a lot of time and my own money to get an efficient court going," he said. The township allocated of- $800 million in January. The Commerce Department said the improved personal income picture reflected higher employment, higher average hourly earnings and an increase in average hours worked. Not sharing in the otherwise improved employment picture were manufacturing industries, where payrolls remained about the same and employment declined, espe-c i a 1 1 in transportation equipment, which would include the auto industry.

WASHINGTON OT) Americans suddenly got a lot more money in their pockets in February following consecutive months of decline, the government reported today. It said personal income of Americans jumped by $6.6 billion in February compared with a decline of $2 billion in January. Personal income measures the income received by all Americans from all sources, including wages, rent, interest and dividends. The increase indicates Americans had a lot more money to spend. The biggest factor in the increase was a $4 billion jump in wage and salary payments compared with a decline of Fire Destroys Phila.

(AP)-The winning number in this week's Pennsylvania lottery is 474358. Tickets with the fallowing numbers are winners: WASHINGTON (AP) The government reported today that the United States had a 1973 surplus of $1.2 billion in its basic balance of payments with other countries, an improvement of $11 billion over a year earlier and the first surplus in the history of the basic balance index.

The country had a deficit of $9.8 billion in its basic balance in 1972, meaning substantially more U.S. dollars flowed out of the country that year than were returned to U.S. shores. The Commerce Department said the biggest single improvement in the country's payments positions was in the nation's foreign trade and exchange of services, which were in suprlus by $6.9 million, compared with a deficit of $4.6 billion a year earlier. The overall surplus of $1.2 billion in the basic balance of payments was the first surplus since the government began computing the basic index in 1960.

The best previous year was a $15 million deficit in 1961. The two devaluations of the U.S. dollar -1971 and 1973 -have been the major factors in the improvement in U.S. trade with other countries because they have made U.S. goods cheaper abroad and foreign goods more expensive in this country.

But the devaluations also have had an adverse impact on inflation in this country, since Americans have found they must pay more for domestically produced goods, such as agricultural products, to keep them from flowing overseas to meet foreign demand. The country had a much narrower basic balance surplus in the fourth quarter of $200 million, compared with a third quarter surplus of $2.5 billion. Administration officials fear the nation's foreign payments position will plunge back into deficit in 1974 because of the sharply higher cost of importing foreign oil.
