NEW YORK (AP) The stock market slipped very slightly in continued brisk trading today amid profit taking after the steep rise of the two previous days. The noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was down 1.49 at 646.59, and losers held a very slight edge on gainers at the New York Stock Exchange.

Some fresh buying appeared late in the morning to bring the average back from a loss of nearly 6 points earlier.

Wells, both of Mexico. missed charges of possessing a gun against Ernesto Miranda, a convicted rapist whose case produced a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1966. Miranda, 33, was arrested July 13 in nearby Tempe on a minor traffic charge, and police said they found a revolver and pills classified as a dangerous drug in his car. Judge Kimball Rose accepted the defense attorney's move Wednesday to dismiss the gun charge for lack of proper cause for the search.

The drug charge was allowed to stand. Miranda's 1963 kidnap-rape conviction and 20-30-year sentence was overturned by the Supreme Court three years later on grounds he had not been advised of his rights, a rule which now applies to all law enforcement agencies. Miranda was reconvicted on the charge and again sentenced to 20-30 years in prison but was released on parole two years ago. Frank Blankenship JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Asst.

Ex-Mrs. Onassis Dies In Paris LONDON (AP) Tina Niarchos, wife of Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos and a former wife of Aristotle Onassis, has died in Paris at the age of 45, it was announced here today.

A spokesman for Niarchos' shipping company said Mrs. Niarchos died of thrombosis. He said she had suffered for some time from a blood clot in her leg, and she died when the clot moved into her heart. Born Athina Livanos, the daughter of another wealthy shipowner, the blonde heiress lived most of her life in the glamorous life of opulent yachts and private Mediterranean islands associated with the world of Greek shipping magnates. In 1946, when she was 17, Tina was married to Onassis, Niarchos' biggest rival among the Greek shippers.

She bore him a daughter, Christina, and a son, Alexandros, and Onassis named his fabulous yacht Tina in her honor. Alexandros, Onassis' only son, was killed last year in the crash of his small airplane in Athens. (Continued from Page 1) benefit to the whole state." Rep. Lemon called Sen. Eagleton "totally He said he twists words, twists the truth "and even lies about his own voting record." He pointed out that Sen.

Eagleton six years ago ran on a platform that included a strict gun control law. "We haven't heard much from him about that lately but there is no reason to think he's changed." He pointed out that Mr. Curtis has spoken in opposition to making gun control any more stringent than it is now. He predicted that a special session of the legislature will be called "sometime after the election." All candidates for local office were introduced by Rex Johnson, master-of-ceremonies and each spoke briefly. James Frazer, candidate for hospital trustee, pointed out that his is a non-partisan office with no pay.

He said he is running because he believes "every individual should make an effort to contribute his time to the public he is deeply interested in the Audrain Medical Center, and the community needs to develop some "new, younger leadership to match the fine quality of the leadership it has in the past." Mrs. Bob McGee pointed to her 12 years of bookkeeping experience as a qualification for the office of treasurer. On political leave from the Soil Conservation Service, she said, "I feel this is the time for a change. Miss Doris Hamilton urged aid in her candidacy for recorder. Mrs.

Glenda Orcutt of Vandalia, running for county clerk, said the "courthouse needs a new breath of fresh air." She pledged "better representation than you now have.

He said this the year to elect is Republicans to the courthouse. Ferris Mundy, for eastern district judge, said he has canvassed most of the homes and farms in the east part of the county and finds that most people are independents. "They tell me, 'I vote for the man, the one who can do the He pledged attention and service to the people, "all of the people." Leonard Snyder said everybody in the county "will get a fair shake, and that goes for the east end too.

We are all one county, and Mexico is a part of it and the county needs Mexico and Mexico needs the county." William S. Lowe, candidate for 48th district legislator, called attention to the President's speech in which he warned that if inflation is not controlled it will destroy this nation. He said inflation cannot be controlled unless government quits spending more than it has. "We have a governor who has done a lot for this state, a lot that has gone unnoticed because of an opposition legislature," he said. Some of his programs such as reorganization of departments the securing of free loan of business executives to work out efficient and saving methods.

"We have a great governor in Christopher Bond, but he needs a legislature of the same party to help him carry out his plans to bring good government to Missouri," he said. CORRECTION In a picture caption yesterday, The Ledger identified Ferris Mundy as Republican nominee for county court judge of the western district. He is, of course, the nominee for the eastern district. 12 From Central Methodist College Train At AMC Twelve Central Methodist College students enrolled in nurses training began a twice- a-week clinical program at I Audrain Medical Center here Thursday.

Moves To Forfeit Car Carrying Drugs Thomas I. Osborne, prosecuting attorney for Audrain County, today filed a petition in Circuit Court to forfeit the motor vehicle of Edward Thomas Isgrig, 20, of Route 1, Thompson. It is a 1971 Nova Chevrolet. The automobile has. been held as contraband since Isgrig was taken into custody Tuesday.

But in releasing the three- year audit report of the county through last December, Ashcroft said Thursday the county court should monitor the mileage claims of the sheriff. The auditor cited "questionable" trips from the county seat at Lexington to a highway weigh station at Odessa. The report said based on 1973 figures in the mileage claims, the sheriff would have had to make 12.7 trips between the points every day of the year which "represent more than eight hours per day in travel." The report also recommended proper identification of invested funds, additional collateral to secure county bank deposts and improved accounting controls for the circuit clerk.
