The Red Guards threatened to "make short shrift" of the whole crew if they did not surrender the ship's second naviga tor. Yesterday morning the captain was brought to the dock. The Tass report, attributed to the Far Eastern shipping office in Vladivostok, continued: "Korzhov has been beaten up and the mob continues to taunt The crew of the ship is besieged and cannot come to his rescue. The mob is demanding that Navigator Stanislav Ivanov be handed over to them." The Chinese claimed that Ivanov was "guilty" of refusing to accept a Ma'o Tse-tung badge, Tass said. YESTERDAY afternoon, Tass reported, a seaman named Kuznetsov was dragged ashore "despite the resis tance of the crew.

The incident was regarded in Moscow as the most violent yet to be reported in the struggle between the two nations and the most serious since the siege of the Soviet Embassy in Peking last win ter. Tass reported Friday that screaming mobs had abducted the captain, manhandled the crew and painted anti-Soviet threats on the vessel. In December, the Russian ship Zagorsk was held at Dairen for 20 days. The Soviet government also protested that incident and received an abusive Chinese note in return. Last night the Russian Union of Workers of the Sea and River Fleets issued a demand for the immediate end of "hooligan actions." "We hold up to shame the organizers of this dirty provocation," the union asserted.

Protest meetings are being held in Russian ports and demands for the release of the ship and its crew members are being sent to the Chinese Embassy in Moscow. Envoys Confirmed WASHINGTON, D.C.

13. 1067 U.S. Admits Bombing in Laos Since '64 SAIGON, South Vietnam (UPI) The U.S. Air Force for the first time officially confirmed Saturday it has been bombing Communist targets in neutral Laos since May. 1964.

A spokesman said the raids, which run into scores of missions daily, were being conducted at the request of the Laotian government, U.S. warplanes attacked the Hanoi area yesterday for the second day in a row. Communist ground fire downed two American planes. Air Force pilots reported seven engagements with Communist M1G17 interceptors over Hanoi, but said no aircraft on either side were shot down. Yesterday's raid near Hanoi was a railroad and highway bridge across the Des Rapides Canal 5 miles northeast of the center of the city.

Pilots said their bombs hit the center and northeast sections of the bridge, but clouds and bomb dust prevented an assessment of damage. Communist sources said yesterday's attacks near comprised six raids over a 17-hour period and they claimed that more than 100 of the city's residents were killed or wounded. Radio Hanoi declared seven U.S. planes were shot down and several pilots captured. Friday, U.S.

planes bombed the Doumer rail and highway bridge 1.7 miles from the center of Hanoi and sent one span crashing into the river. THREE waves of planes attacked the bridge. Two of them were led by Col.

A military spokesman said one of the pilots noticed what appeared to be one of the MIGs exploding and theorized the MIG may have run into bombs that had been jettisoned "by an American plane in anticipation of a MIG attack. ONLY a few light, sporadic contacts were reported in the ground war. But U.S.

headquarters, apparently in an effort to show that Allied war strategy is hurting the Communists, released the text of a purported captured Communist document telling of "alarming reverses." The document reportedly was captured July 14 in the central coastal plains. There was no indication who was the author. "OUR pessimistic and defeatist attitudes have restricted our activity," the document said. "Population under our control has decreased in an alarming manner. The movements in cities and in areas under enemy (government) control are weak.

The people's warfare movement has lost its momentum. The political movement has failed to keep pace." The Air Force spokesman said that the main target of American air strikes in Laos was the Ho Chi Minh Trail that is used by the North Vietnamese to send men and supplies into South Vietnam. Gen. William C. Westmore land's headquarters, however, refused to 1 say how many planes had been lost in the Laotian air war, what specific targets are hit, or how many Americans have been killed, injured or captured in Laos.

"We don't report anything but the war over the North and South (Vietnam)," the spokesman said. Nazi Atrocity Claim Procedure Explained Applications for compensation from the West German government in connection with mental or physical injuries from Nazi atrocities may be filed with Walter Mauser, German consul, 722 Roanoke Building. According to Hauser, persons who suffered at least a 25 per cent disability from Nazi atrocities are qualified to receive compensation. 6. I 1 i -t iV.V for party unity, Wozniak said he planned to speak out on a wide variety of issues, including the new sales tax pushed through the 1967 Legislature by the GOP-oriented Conservative majority.

Wozniak. who was recognized as one of the DFL's leading tax experts while serving in the Legislature, said that it would be unrealistic to seek repeal of the new levy but that efforts should be made to improve it. His main interest, he said, would be promoting permanent property tax relief for homeowners. (The' law abolished some personal property taxes on business. It granted homeowners a 35 per cent reduction in real estate taxes but placed no limit on how much local government could raise those taxes in the future.) The location of Wozniak's new home, incidentally, makes him a constituent of Rep.

Robert W. Johnson, vice-chairman of the House Tax Committee and one. of the chief draftsmen of the new law. Through yesterday's statements Wozniak became the first man to step forward in an attempt to personally fill the leadership vacuum on the state DFL scene caused by the defeats of Keith in the 1966 primary election and Rolvaag in the general. IN THE PAST, many party members tended to shun Wozniak as overambitious.

Whether that attitude now will reassert itself remains to be seen. Wozniak said he was leaving the Foreign Service un der friendly circumstances and would accept periodic special assignments from it. He said one reason he was leaving the service, in addi tion to his political aspirations, was a failure to get an acceptable permanent assignment' abroad. He said that after completing his training in June he turned down two or three assignments in South America and Latin America because schools there were so bad he could not have taken his family with him. He has four children, ranging in age from 15 to 19.

The 44 year old former legislator, who spent 12 years as assistant DFL floor leader in the house and often expressed an ambition for higher office, stopped short yesterday of formally announcing himself as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. But he did say that he never had made any secret of his political hopes during his legislative days, planned to work openly now in the direction of the governorship and "certainly" would not "turn his back" on any opportunity to become the party's nominee. AS A RESULT of last fall's election, in which the Republican opposition swept Harold LeVander into the governor's office and captured all other statehouse posts except secretary of state for four years, the DFL is "in the doldrums" and "needs new Wozniak said. He said he would "do all I can" to get the party back on a winning track and "return state government to the hands of the people." An early start for both the party and its potential candidates was necessary, he said, "because no one now can really get elected without long-time exposure." HIS FIRST job, he said, would be to help "heal the wounds" of last year's divisive fight between A.

M. Keith and Karl F. Rolvaag for the DFL nomination for governor. Describing himself as one of the few DFLers without "battle scars," because of his absence from Minnesota, Wozniak said he hoped "never to remember who was on which side or who wore what sweatshirt. "They are all good liberals," he said.

"The DFL has a record as a party of inventors and solvers of problems and we have to restore that."

Meat Continued From Page One There were many flies about tne ana me room reeked with bad odors due to unclean floor and poor sanitation in general." "No screens on door. Flies prevalent and dirty boxes and tubs stood in corners. No wash bowls or sterilizers in room.

Equipment was not as clean as would be expected in a place which processes human food. This establishment operates under a Minnesota license and is state inspected at intervals." "This plant also slaughters under the Minnesota license and is inspected periodically by the state inspector. The owner is in the habit of going out to auction markets and to farmers and buying distressed animals for slaughter. The processing is done at the rear of the store and this is perhaps one of the filthiest places in which meat products are made. Two large wooden barrels are filled with meat in cure for sausage and are just plain filthy." "The slaughtering room is of cement block construction, the room was quite dirty with fat and meat particles, and the saws and other equipment were very dirty although they had not been used for several days." At a North Dakota plant, the USDA investigator reported: "In a cooler there was a carcass of beef which had a mark of condemnation of several parts of the carcass.

These marks were applied by the local veterinarian, ac cording to the owner. "The hind quarters were very slimey and tiuid was running down over the carcass onto the front quarters which were not condemned. "THE CARCASS was among several otner good carcasses and they were crowded against the con demned one. "I went to see the veterinarian and he said that he thought that the carcass had been destroyed. "I must point out here that due to no constant inspection a carcass could very well be utilized as food.

The USDA inspector went to another North Dakota plant where he noted employes were wearing very dirty clothing. He was not admitted and said he was told by the owner: "Oh, I know of your kind. You are one of those snoopy bureaucrats looking for bad things, so you can tell the newspaper people how crummy we meat processors are, just like the Minneapolis paper done three weeks ago. "NO, I DON'T want to listen. I would rather that you leave.

USDA investigators also were critical of conditions of some plants visited in Iowa. Illinois, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Of one Iowa bologna manufacturer, the USDA report said: "Believed to slaughter cripples and downers (animals that can't walk because of disease or injury) at times. Poor sanitation and housekeeping." Smith has said be noticed at Iowa cattle sales that sick animals inevitably are purchased by firm's not under federal inspection. A USDA investigator reported on the activities of an Illinois cattle dealer who specializes in "down and crippled animals." ACCORDING to the USDA investigator, this cattle deal er told him how he first tries to sell an animal to a federally inspected plant, then to a state-inspected plant, and as last resort to a nonin-spected plant.

The investigator reported on several other Illinois packing plants that he said specialize in the slaughter of disabled animals. tion, the USDA reported that one Iowa meat processor in cluded ground hog hides in his meats without so speci- fvinS on Packages. smith said he was ref er ring to this plant and others USDA reported as following similar practices when he stressed last week the importance of more stringent labeling of meat products. Speaking before representatives of women's consumer groups, Smith said: "I don't mind someone buying chopped hog hides if she knows it." Romney Continued From Page One setts entered the New Hampshire primary as a quasi-favorite son candidate. "Gov.

Romney has indicated that if he went in he would hope Volpe would not. I share that sentiment. I think Volpe would detract greatly." IN DECLARING support for Romney, Rockefeller described him as a man with a "uniquely outstanding record in public life" and the "kind of man who can give this country unity at home and in facing the problems abroad." In echoing Rockefeller's strong endorsement, Scranton said that the stand taken by Republican governors in New York last week was "the finest piece of writing and meaning I have yet seen on this subject (domestic disorders)." Indicating that he gave Romney a big share of the credit for the 60-point proposal to end domestic unrest, Scranton said it was "the most important single item I've seen in this field." Chafee Scranton Dedication to help Romney Politics Continued From Page One described the charges as "plain ridiculous." "We'll punish anyone who is found guilty," he said. "What more can I do?" The premier took a more conciliatory attitude than in the past toward the civilian candidates. At one point, referring to complaints that neither he nor Lt.

Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, the chief of state, had been on the ill-fated trip to Dang Ha, he said: IF THEY ask me, I'm willing to go with them. I'd even fly their airplane." Informed sources said U.S. Embassy officials, in conversations with the civilians and the generals, had brought strong pressure on them to end their feud. This ractor, the sources said, is one reason for the premier's moderate tone.

For their part, the civilians appeared to realize that their refusal to campaign is getting them nowhere with the electorate. But several candidates said privately that they are pleased that their charges had caused an uproar in the U.S. Congress, and indicated that they intend to try to prolong the controversy. 4 Climbers' Bodies Found on Mt.
