Kurt Georg Klesinger, the Christian Democratic candidate for chancellor, joined in the re-West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, the So cialist leader. Up in Ger many's 17-year KIcblNfetK history the Socialists have al ways been in opposition. The decision still has some hurdles to take. First it must be approved by the parties' repre sentatives in the Bundestag, who must elect a new chancel-b- to replace Ludwig Erhard. This is expected to take place Monday after some deDate at separate meetings behind closed doors.

Between them the two groups control 447 of the 496 Budestag votes. The Christian Democrats have 245, the Socialist 202. The only opposition would be the Free Democratic party which has the other 49. Many Socialists are likely to oppose Kiesinger for the chancellorship because he was a member of the Nazi party from 1933 until the end of World War K. He helped run the radio propaganda section in Adolf Hitler's Foreign Ministry.

After the war he was cleared by a German de-Nazification court. Kiesinger, 62, has been minister-president of the state of R- den-Wuerttemberg for the past eight years.

In Austin, the Texas White House said that the holiday ceasefire proposal was being discussed by the united States and South Vietnamese govern ments, both of whom had previously signaled their willingness for a brief ceasefire over the holidays. The Viet Cong version of the cease-fire proposal was broadcast Saturday over the clandestine liberation radio in the name of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front. The broadcast said the front's leadership was ordering all "liberation forces" including main units and guerillas to sus-p all military attacks throughout South Viet Nam during two truce periods, provided Road Toll May Set Record BY ASSOCIATED PRESS The death toll on the nation's highways during the four-day Thanksgiving holiday ran ahead of last year's record pace Saturday. Accidents that caused multiple deaths added the mounting total.

Traffic deaths totaled 442, including 84 under 18 years of age since the start of the count at 6 p.m. local time Wednesday. This was nearly 20 per cent ahead of the total during the same period last Thanksgiving weekend. During last year's Thanks giving weekend bla persons were killed in traffic accidents, a record high for that holiday. A recent survey of a four-day non-holiday period by The Associat ed Press showed 546 traffic fa talities.

Five persons, including two married couples, were killed Saturday in a head-on collision near Drvden, N.Y., a village east of Ithaca, site of Cornell University. Four persons died Saturday in a head-on crash north of Areola 111. Several other accidents involving multiple deaths occurred in the early hours of the holiday observance.

At that time Rusk drew sharp distinction between a short holiday truce and "the idea of a general pause such as we had a year ago." He virtually ruled out any prolonged pause in U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam such as the 37-day pause last year.

The secretary said that the formal initiatives on a "Muu- truce." as officials have termed a holiday pause, would be left to the Saigon government. Last Wednesday, Premier Nguyen Cao Ky said that the South Vietnamese government was willing to eo along with a holiday ceasefire, but suggested that it should last only a lew hours. Last year the Viet Cong pro posed a 12-hour Christmas truce and the allies responded with a proposal for a 30-hour truce, a suggestion that was never acknowledged by the Communists. Nonetheless, the ground war in Viet Nam generally came to a halt though both sides accused each other of small-scale viola tions of the ceasefire.

The military view a that the Communist side has violated such holiday truces in the past and that this year, with the allied forces on the offensive and reported to be getting the best of the fiqhting, a lull this year would help the hardpressed Communists regroup and resupply their forces. U.S. air intelligence showed that North Vietnamese forces made the most of last year's 37-day bombing pause. "Tbey didn't waste a minute, said one U.S. official.

On Friday night, Nov. 18, Hussein Yields To Pressure Conscription Okayed For Jordanian Men I9M New York Times News Service BEIRUT, Lebanon King Hussein of Jordan Saturday showed signs of yielding to the pressure of the Palestinian population of his tension-ridden country. According to Radio Amman, the king issued a decree endorsing conscription effective immediately for all Jordanians between the ages of 18 and 40. The radio said the Jordanian cabin et met Saturday to consider steps taken so far by Jordanian military command to put conscription into force. It reported that military training camps equipped with necessary arms would be set up and that Jordanian villages on the frontier with Israel would be issued arms under super vision of the Jordanian military command.

uoservers nere saia it was unlikely these measures would satisfy the Palestinian Jorda nians who have been clamoring for arms to fight Israel since the Israeli attack on Jordanian territory Nov. 13. The Jordanian cabinet presented a united front in the face of a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) ultimatum issued to Jordanian ministers to resign. The ultimatum expired at noon today. Ministers had been warned their lives would be at stake if they did not heed the ultimatum.

Radio Amman emphasized the cabinet meeting under Premier Wasfi Tall, was taken as an indirect reply that the ministers were not heeding FLO threats. There was no confirmation or denial from Amman of reports published in pro-Cairo news papers here that Marshal Ha neb Aiaiau, commander in chief of the Jordanian army, submitted bis resignation to King Hussein last Monday.

The Sun Devils finished at 5-5.

At that it was Kush's first victory in Tucson since 1958. The old rivals battled to a 10- 10 deadlock at halftime, but Arizona State got a field goal and a touchdown in the fourth period to score its 13th victory in 40 games with the Wildcats. Reed completed 20 of 38 passes for 293 yards last night and his two touchdown heaves gave him 20 for the season. He had 193 completions in 365 attempts for 2,368 yards and all are new school and Western Athletic Conference records. But he fell short of taking the national passing championship.

John Eckman of Wichita State finished the season with two more completions. And Jim Greth who had six catches for 66 yards last night and one touchdown, finished the year with 76 catches for 1,003 yards and eight touchdowns. He broke two records and tied the touchdown mark set by Hank Stanton in 1941. And so Greth, a senior, will finish as the nation's No. 2 pass receiver, tied with Michigan's Jim Clancy.

But all the passing records by this Arizona team were short of the goal the Wildcats sought last night a victory over the Sun Devils. It was Goodman, the Devils' regular quarterback until he was benched two games ago, who did the job last night. He completed 11 of 20 passes for 130 yards. Goodman is a senior, but Arizona's Mark Reed will be back at quarterback next season. Arizona State started the game with an eye to victory-When the Sun Devils won the Fresh Wind Blows Away N.Y.

Smog NEW YORK (AP) Millions of people on the Eastern seaboard had new cause for thanksgiving Saturday. Fresh winds blew away the awful smog which had hung over them since the holiday eve. From Baltimore to Boston, winds and rain lifted the lid of stagnant warm air that trapped the nation most populous area in its own foul fumes. State Health Commissioner Roscoe Kandle of New Jersey said the experience should stand "as a sobering reminder that mankind must get very much busier about the enormous job of controlling his environment." "The alert," he said, "should reveal to us all the unwelcome possibility that time could be on the side of pollution if we let it. It underscores the vital impor tance of working together to assume our own self-preserva tion." Most of the area had been un der a first-stage alert, under which people were asked to drive less, burn no rubbish, and use less coal and oil for heating Unusually warm temperatures helped them cooperate.

As the winds came, New York City relit its municipal garbage incinerators, shut down since Thursday morning. That night the city's air pollution rose to a record level, five times the av erage, and well above the health danger point. Austin Heller, the city's air pollution control commissioner, praised Consolidated Edison Co. for coorjeratine with the smoe alert. The utility switched to natural gas where possible, reducing the oil or coal smoke whirh normally nours from some of its electric generating 20-17; Fail toss of the coin they elected to kick off rather than receive.

They must have believed in their defense because the wind at their backs was only six miles per hour. And the Devils quickly stopped Arizona after the kick-off and took over at the Arizona 47. They were only able to move short yardage into Arizona territory but Bob Rokita, a junior defensive tackle from Johnstown, booted the longest field goal in Arizona State history for a 3-0 lead. The ball traveled 45 yards. Arizona State built the lead to 10-0 after Ken Dyer made a great leaping interception of a Reed pass at the Arizona 48 and ran to the 36.

With a minute and 44 seconds to play last night Arizona State quarterback Johnny Goodman, elevated to the starting position just before game time, threw a 19-yard touchdown pass that defeated Arizona, 20-17. Less than five minutes earlier Arizona had taken a 17-13 lead on a 70-yard pass from Mark Reed to Fritz Greenlee. And so the 1966 football season came to an end for Arizona with a 3-7 record.

There have only been two poorer records in all of Arizona football history.
