The Sierra Vista youth was arrested yesterday by FBI agents and charged with killing the 6-year-old Ft. Huachuca girl June 22. Cochise County officials were studying the case today to determine whether to file a second murder charge against the tall, slim youth in the April 30 slaying of Cindy Clelland, 7, of Sierra Vista.

In the murder complaint filed in federal court yesterday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation noted that Cindy had been killed "in a manner similar to that" of Jenelle. The youth, being held without bond in the Federal Detention Center at Florence, apparently was trapped by his own handwriting. A note addressed to the "police and sheriff's office" in Sierra Vista and signed "The Phantom" was traced to Huff a exhaustive laboratory work by the FBI. The note was almost thrown away by the Sierra Vista Post Office because it was not contained in an envelope. But Mrs.

Jimmie Matheson, the postmistress, read the note and delivered it to authorities. "We sent that note to the FBI for processing after it was given to us May 8," said a Cochise County sheriff's office official. "After that, we kept Huff under said the official. "I don't want to discuss the reason we watched him." John Mull, agent in charge of the FBI in Arizona, said, "We have-no knowledge of this. Huff's identification was dug out by thorough investigation by agents, following the second murder." body was partially nude and had been mutilated.

Her clothes were found nearby. the Haines case compaint, the FBI said that Huff "lives in the general vicinity of the said victim and Cindy Ann Clelland." The note read: "You have found my first victim. My next one lives on Steffen (a street in Sierra Vista). I shal (sic) strike again. You found my first victim." The note was dated May 7, four days after the body of Cindy was found near her home.

She had been strangled. The i -uthorities today were hesitant to talk about possible further charges against Huff. Sheriff Jim Wilson of Cochise County said: "We will seek more information deciding whether a charge wili.be filed in Cindy's death." Huff, who completed his sophomore year at Buena High School, is the son of Sgt. 1. C.

and Mrs. Algia Huff. Vince Cisterna, principal at the school, described the youth as a student who was just putting in his who didn't make much of an effort. The FBI said it compared the handwriting on the May 7 note with that of numerous pupils at Buena High. A school official said that the FBI returned to the school last Monday for additional samples of Huff's handwriting.

"The writing on the note had many similarities to Huff's writing," the FBI added. In addition to citing the note in the complaint, the FBI also that Jenelle's elder brother, Jarred, identified Huf as a person who talked to him and his sister on the day the girl disappeared. Jenelle was found dead ir the foothills of the Huachuca Mountains near the lakeside Of ficers Club. She died heavy blows to the head. He body also was nude and cloth ing was found nearby.

Huff was picked up yesterday morning at his home by FBI agents and originally charged with violating 'the federal extortion act by sending a thredt- ening note. He was brought to Tucson and then charged with the mur- aer. Huff was taken to Florence yesterday after appearing before U.S. Commissioner Raymond Terlizzi. Clad in a dirty blue, short sleeve shirt and drab gray trousers, Huff was declared indigent by Terlizzi, and attorney Thomas Chandler was appointed his counsel.

The commissioner ordered that Huff have a preliminary hearing at 1 p.m. July 10 on both the extortion and murder charges. Bond was set at $2,000 in the extortion case. See another story, pictures Page 27. Second In Month RUSSIAN SHIP HIT IN HAIPHONG PORT Withdrawal Proposal Gets U.N.

The Latin American draft included a provision declaring that the acquisition of territory by force of arms could not be given legal status by the United Nations. This was a stipulation held paramount by most countries of South America. Security Council President Hans R. Tabor of Denmark led efforts to draw up another resolution that would carry major Western and Latin American backing.

Negotiations including leaders of those segments as well as delegates from African ad Asia countries were expected to go on almost until the deadline for submitting resolutions. Tabor continued the private talks while the assembly moved rapidly toward the end of its Middle East general debate which was expected to terminate today.

EMBATTLED LAND FIRM Gulf American Proceeding With Rio Rico MYERS, Fla. -(AP)-- Leonard Rosen, president of the embattled Gulf American said today the land development firm was "moving ahead according to schedule" with its Rio Rico project between Tucson and Nogales.

He said the company planned to go ahead at full capacity with all its present development programs. Gulf American's land sales practices are under scrutiny by the Florida Installment Land Sales Board.

(AP)-Sonora voters go to the polls Sunday to elect a governor and for the first time in many years observers believe the Party of Revolutionary Institutions candidate may get a battle. Riots, house burnings, student protest strikes and mass ar- restst throughout Sonora showed dissatisfaction of citizens with Faustino Felix Serna, the PRI's candidate. Felix Serna secured the PRI nomination, normally tantamount to election, despite earlier assurances by party chieftains that the- nominee would be picked at an open convention. Hit opponent, Gilberto Suarez Arvizu, of the party of rational Action, has been campaigning vigorously around the state, a sharp contrast to Felix Serna. Suarez Arvizu is given a chance to upset Felix Serna, although the prospect is rated as unlikely.

However, PRI candidates are expected to prevail handily offices. in elections for other Campaigning has ended under a Mexican law banning for three days prior to the election.

The chairman of the Florida Board said today it will be sometime next month before the board meets again and reviews an investigation of Gulf American. Chairman Gerald Gould said he had informed the three other board members the next meeting would be in Tallahassee with Gov. Claude Kirk "sometime in July." Gould said if two members got together and decided to call a meeting they could do so, but he said he 'didn't think any such meetings would be held.

A in Tampa said no meeting was scheduled. Gould also said he was concerned about what he termed "newspaper accounts which told only half the story." Gould said he realized reporters had difficulty getting all the facts, since under statutes governing the board any investigation possibly leading to revoking or suspending a registered company must be confidential unless the company waives the rule and allows the public to attend hearings. Gould said Gulf American has not indicated it will waive the rule. Both Gould and Gulf American officials have repeatedly said no definite action has been taken on the investigation and the company is in no danger of discontinuing operation. Gulf American is one of the largest land developers in Florida.

He said Arabs will surrender no land to Israel no matter how little.

Syria reported 145 killed.

Jordan said June 9 as it accepted the cease-fire that 15,000 of its citizens and soldiers perished. Israeli military authorities had estimated Egypt lost between 7,000 and 10,000 men killed. Heikal's warning of more fighting came as Egyptian sources charged that Israeli troops killed one Egyptian and wounded another seriously in an incident on 'he Suez Canal. Bulletin Sheriff's Capt.

U.S. Admits Firing Error SAIGON (UPI) American warplanes raiding the outskirts of Haiphong may have damaged the second Russian ship in a month, U.S.

spokesmen said today. Almost before the planes had returned to their 7th Fleet carriers, the Soviet Union filed a protest note charging they had damaged a Russian freighter in the habor. U.S. spokesmen at first said there was nothing to substantiate the Russian charge. But a short time later the Defense Department in Washington said the ship may have been damaged.

There was no immediate report on whether there had been casualties aboard the ship. Earlier this month, American warplanes accidently damaged Russian ship at Cam Pha, about 40 miles northeast of Haiphong. One crewman was killed and two others wounded.

Its Norwegian pilot was making an instrument landing in a rainstorm produced by Typhoon Anita when the plane fell short of the runway. An airlines spokesman said the plane was carrying 40 tourists from California and eight A i a i Taipei. Mrs.

Audrey Dees of Man- lecfl, said she was a member of a 34-member group on a "Culture of the Orient study tour" sponsored by Sacramento State College and that most of the members were school teachers from the Sacramento area. Among ihc American survivors was a family of six, Mr. and Mrs. H. Robert Hanson and their four children.

Hanson, a native of Detroit, formerly lived in Fortuna, and has been stationed in Singa for the past four years. Cause of the crash was not known but airport officials blamed it on bad weather. Many more persons probably would have died except for amazingly fast rescue work. This was the first fatal crash of a Thai International Airways plane. "During attack on the Hai- phong petroleum storage facility located in the dock area ol Haiphong, two U.S.

aircraft assigned to protect the bombing planes from ground air defenses attacked an air defense site approximately 500 yards from the location of the ship which the Soviets state was damaged. "Although pilots are under instructions to avoid Soviet shipping, it is possible that certain of the ordnance directed at the anti-aircraft site on the ship. Commanders have been asked to examine flight paths and post-strike photography to obtain all possible information on the incident." The Navy warplane hit two targets in the Haiphong area. At the same time, other American raiders the 10th time smashed the Hoa Lac MIG fighter base on the fringe of Hanoi and reportedly destroyed two MIGs on the ground. U.S.

spokesmen said Navy A4 Skyhawks from 7th Fleet aircraft carriers in the Tonkin Gulf hit the Loi Dong oil depot 4 miles from Haiphong's heart and the Cong My shipping point 4.5 miles from the great port's center. In South Vietnam, allied troops counted casualties after two especially hard-fought battles near Saigon. On the central coast American troops killed at least 73 guerrillas. The decision came after three days of tense meetings of the; powerful Armed Forces Council; during which the competition between Ky nnd Thieu, who both had been running for the presidency, reached a climax. Ky has gone from being the No.

1 presidential candidate to No. 2 man on someone else's, ticket, making it apparent he lost a great deal of power in the last three days. Thieu, on the other hand, has now gained the top spot. The fact that he and Ky will no longer be competing for the 600,000 votes of the armed forces makes him virtually unbeatable. Inside Today's Citizen Dr.
