UB President elect Richard M. Nixon conferred today with Spiro T. Agnew, then announced the vice-president elect will be given important added duties at home andj abroad and a White House i office. Nixon told reporters Agnew would move into the west wing of the White House to an office just down the hall from the oval presidential quarters. In addition, Nixon said, he and Agnew will share a common staff.

The two men held a breakfast conference lasting more than 90 minutes, then talked to reporters on the la.wn. Nixon said he plans to strip Agnew of a number of "froth" chores now performed by the Vice-President so Agnew could devote more time to major assignments involving not only domestic affairs but foreign relations. The president-elect said he would not spell out Agnew's role until just before the Republican Governors' Conference opening early in December in Palm Springs, Calif. Agnew told reporters, "I am tremendously heartened" by the new assignments and added, "I will be injected into the mainstream beyond my expectations." Commissioner Jack M. Provo said he was not prepared "to say yes or no on any of the alternatives," but he cited "glaring inade quacies" in the Fairview plan Not Convenient He said Fairview is not in a convenient location and that the county could not delegate operation and management of the new General to the Fairview board of trustees, as the Fairview plan calls for.

(Fairview officials, in one section of their presentation, to the consulting firm, said that the Fairview Board and the Hennepin County Board could jointly appoint a board of governors which would be responsible for the new General.) Provo said he questioned the lack of a referendum in the Fairview plan. "I think we should have a referendum to clear the air once and for all over wheth er General is a countywide facility or just something foisted on us by the city. (General was transferred from Minneapolis to Henne pin County in 1963 by the Minnesota Legislature.) Commissioner E. F. Robb Jr.

said he would have no firm opinions until the advisory committee makes a recommendation, but he not ed tnat rairview is away from the population center of the county." Population Center He said the population center was somewhere near the intersection of Hwys. 100 and 12 and that "if General is to be truly a county hospi tal, this factor has to be weighed, though not neces sarily as a controlling factor." The Fairview proposal was downgraded yesterday by a medical source who called it a bold effort to dispose of a "white elephant." Fairview is in better condition than General, the source said, but cannot meet some physical standards, notably in its surgical suite. Parts of Fairview built in 1912. were "Every consideration must be given to locating the new (General) Hospital near its present site," officials of Swedish and St. Barnabas Hospitals, located in downtown Minneapolis, told the GENERAL Turn to Page 4A jto head the GOP three months ago.

Democrats are girding for attacks on the antipoverty program, aid to education and legislation dealing with urban affairs Major Battleground Rep. Carl D. Perkins, chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, which is likely to be a major battleground in such a fight, sounded the keynote Friday. "We'll co-operate with Mr. Nixon in any constructive proposals, but I don't intend to sit back and see the things I we fought so long and hard I for go down the drain," he said in an interview.

The same approach on a broader scale is being worked out by the Democratic Study Group, a loosely knit organization of liberal and moderate Democrats that functions independently of the regular House leadership.

The Fairview plan was one of five possibilities suggested yesterday by a consulting firm to a citizens advisory committee which is considering the future of General. The hospital is said to be physically obsolete. Robert P.

Janes, county board chairman, said he has not excluded any of the possibilities, but that "my off the top-of-the-head reaction is to keep General on neutral ground near its present location." He said that if General were not geographically "locked in" to any one medi Pollution Unit Takes First Steps By JIM SHOOP Minneapolis Star Staff Writer The State Planning Agency has taken the first steps to ward developing a statewide plan to cope with pollution Joseph Sizer, director of natural resources planning for the agency, said an appli cation is being prepared for a $25,000 federal grant to studv whether changes oc curring in Minnesota re sources are dangerous to health. The study also will seek to determine whether the resources forests, lakes, rivers, the soil, the air we breathe are able to renew themselves in spite of man-made pollution. Proposals for the study are being solicited from the Minnesota Committee for Environmental Information, a citizens group headed by several University of Minnesota ecologists and biologists, and persons concerned about pollution. Other Agencies Sizer said the agency also will seek help from the State Department of Health, the state and federal pollution control agencies and the university's center for urban and regional affairs. "The basic question is what are we doing to maintain the balance of nature," Sizer said.

The trick is to know what the effect of pollution is on plants and animals as well as humans and determine how much we can live with, Sizer said. "We can't go in and shut off all the pipes on our sewer systems," he said. "We can't shut off all the smokestacks on our manufacturing plants or shut off all the cars. "Yet we very definitely have to know what we are doing to ourselves and to our environment. Then we can devise an environmental control plan to tell us what we can do at least on the state level to maintain the environment the way we want it," Sizer said.

Many to Satisfy The control measures will have to satisfy the industrialist, the farmer, the business man as well as the sportsman and the "pure" conservationist who wants everything left in its natural state, Sizer added. "We can't tell a farmer that he has to stop using fertilizers," Sizer said. "We have to find a way to keep it from getting into the lakes Df AM Associated Press VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND MRS.

The broadcast said it was the first U.S. aircraft shot down over the North since President Johnson ordered the bombing halt of Noth Vietnam Oct. 31. A spokesman said Gen. Creighton W.

Latest Reports Latest U.S. intelligence reports indicate the enemy has 15,000 to 20,000 troops either inside Cambodia or inside South Vietnam in Tay Ninh, Binh and Phuoc Long provinces. South Vietnamese estimates of enemy troop strength along the border are three times as high as the American announcement.

Elsewhere in South Vietnam ground fighting picked up. The U.S. Command said 83 enemy soldiers were killed in a series of sharp classes Friday. U.S. losses were four killed and eight wounded.

Petition Asks College Head to Quit By PETER VAUGHAN Minneapolis Star Staff Writer Almost half the faculty members of Anoka-Ramsey Junior College have signed a petition calling for the resignation of college president Dr. Emil Wilken. The petition, signed by 37 of the school's 80 faculty members, is the latest incident in a dispute that has been raging between faculty members and Wilken since the college opened three years ago. At issue is control of the college, which started its second year of operation this fall at a new campus in Coon Rapids. It has over 1,850 students this fall.

Wilken said the rebellion is led by a "small group of six to eight faculty members who want to take over the school." Voice Sought Phillip DeWolfe, chairman of the English department and one of the organizers of the petition, said Wilken has refused to give the faculty any voice in policymaking at the college. The dispute has been going on since 1966 when faculty members complained to Dr. Phillip Helland, chancellor of the State Junior College Board, that Wilken was exercising his presidential authority without regard for the interests of the faculty. The dispute flared again last spring when three faculty members were charged ANOKA Turn to Page 4A By JOHN WASHINGTON, D.C.

MIDWEST EARTHQUAKE FELT OVER WIDE AREA WASHINGTON, D.C.

Jt) An earthquake which shook a broad area of the Midwest Saturday apparently was centered near New Madrid, the heart of a disastrous tremor in 1811, the national Earthquake center reported. Cart von Hake, acting chief of the center, said first reports indicated the quake had a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale. The damage point is considered to be 6, he said, although it might be less in a populated area. Von Hake said the quake was apparently centered in the New Madrid fault zone, a fault that roughly follows the path of the Mississippi River valley. Buildings swayed noticeably in St Louis, but there were no immediate reports of major damage there or elsewhere.

Von Hake said first estimates were that shocks were felt as far south as Mobile, as far north as Kalamazoo, and east into Tennessee. He said there were reports of windows shaking in Tucson, Ariz although he wanted to check further before saying the quake itself was felt that far west (A caller j.ho said he lived in the Lake of area told The vlinneapolis Star he felt the Nixon witn Hum-: phrey with 30,534,689 and George C. Wallace with 585,028. Nixon is ahead by 7,622 votes in Missouri, according to unofficial returns, with about 100,000 absentee votes to be counted. The state has 12 electoral votes.

In Maryland, home state of Vice-President-elect Spiro T. Agnew, Humphrey had 533,045 votes to 515,674 for Nixon and 179,859 for Wallace, with about 15,000 ballots to be counted. In Alaska Nixon led Humphrey by 1,673 votes with over half the 8,000 absentee votes counted. The absentee vote was 10 per cent of the state's total. Nixon won a total of 34,788 votes there compared with 33,115 for Humphrey and 9,473 for Wallace.

DVORAK SAYS SOVIETS WILL LEAVE BY DEC. 15 Another Protest Planned in Prague: Page 2 A PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (UPI) AH Soviet occupation troops except those permanently stationed in Czechoslovakia will be out of this country by Dec. 15, Gen. Josef Dvorak said today. The Czechoslovak deputy minister did not say how many Russian troops would remain.

But western estimates put the number at between 75,000 and 100,000. Quoted by Prague radio and the CTK news agency, Dvorak also said Soviet "military commands in Prague will be liquidated at the latest by Dec. 15." He said the Russian forces would pull all their small headquarter units out of Czechoslovak cities by then. He said no Soviet forces would be stationed in the cities, where youths and workers this week marked the st anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution by yanking own and burning Soviet flags and bankers.
