One lawyer said he would like to ask Kissinger about his off-the-rec- ord briefings with newsmen on the basis of his own highly secret information. attempt to show that their disclosure was or could be harmful to the national interests of the United States. The defense, on the other hand, has indicated it would like to call as witnesses top II DEPARTMENT of Defense has not told the American people how much it estimates defense costs would be over the next few years, although such estimates are regularly prepared within the Pentagon," Proxmire said. Commenting on the Proxmire letter.

Asst. Secretary of Defense Daniel Z. Ilenkin said, "We do not quite comprehend why the senator should lack knowledge of defense spending plans, since Secretary Laird has been stating repeatedly to congressional committees and the public that the goal is to hold defense spending at or below 7 per cent of the Gross National Product." WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. William Proxmire, said Saturday the Pentagon's analysis of Sen. George S.

Mc-Govern's proposals for deep cuts in military spending contained "much more political rhetoric than defense analysis." Proxmire made public a letter challenging Secretary of Defense Mclvin R. Laird to come up with figures showing the Pentagon's estimate of defense costs in 1975. McGovern, leading con-tender for the Democratic presidential nomination, has outlined his proposals for a $54.8 billion defense budget in 1975, some $30 billion below the Nixon administration's request for this year. Chief Arbiter Leaves Another Chess Delay? LOS ANGELES (UPI) The long delayed trial of Daniel Ellsberg'for theft of the Pentagon Papers gets underway Monday, more than a year after the publication of the documents dealing with the origins of the Vietnam War. The 40-year-old former researcher for the Defense Department faces the possibility of a long prison term, as does codefendant Anthony J.

Russo, if they are convicted, by a jury of charges of espionage, theft of government property and conspiracy. THE MAIN points of the defense are expected to be that the 1940 espionage law under which they were indicted does not apply to their actions and that the removal of classified documents and disclosure to the news media is a common government practice. Ellsberg had frankly admitted that he turned over sections of the secret study to the New York Times and other papers but, contrary to a widespread impression, the "leaking" of the Pentagon Papers is not an issue in the case. The New York Times, which won a Pulitzer Prize this year for its handling of the documents in June, 1971, is not even mentioned in the indictment which deals only with Ells-berg's allegedly illegal removal and possession of them. SECTIONS OF the papers, some of them still unpublished, are expected to be read to the jury by the prosecution in an risfi Basc in Quiet V- 1 41 I -w I i 11 1 1 1 -A A "I NS, I By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess championship match, already delayed for nine days, ran into new problems Saturday when the chief arbiter left Iceland.

U.S. chess sources said Fischer, the 29-year-old American challenger, is "at peak form and raring to go" into the first game Tuesday against the world champion, Russia's Spassky. BUT THE sources said there might have to be another postponement until Thursday since chief arbiter a Schmid will not be back in town until then. Schmid, a West German grandmaster and the owner of a book publishing firm in Bam-b flew home Saturday morning and said he would return Thursday, he said he was leaving because ore of his sons had been injured in a traffic accident. Schmid's assistant arbiter, Gudmundur Arnlaugsson of Iceland, will be in charge of final preparations, which include tho 'ouchy job of picking the chess sets and board to be used.

SCHMID SAID he had invited the two players to come to the hall together on Sunday to check on the facilities and hopefully approvi them. But this meeting was called off Saturday after Sclvnid left. Spassky also left town and went north with Icelandic friend and chess player, Freys-t i Thorbergsson, on a salmon fishing trip. Russian officials said Spassky would be back Monday, at the latest. Thorbergsson also invited Fischer along, but the American turned down the invitation to observe his Church of God's Sabbath from Friday night until Saturday night.

barriers at Lisburn and Bangor were taken down early Saturday and the Castlereagh barricade would be down by midnight instead of being left for the intended 48 hours. THE UDA barricades are a symbol of Protestant resentment at what they consider the British army's failure to flush out strongholds of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. The IRA declared a truce last month in its bomb and bullet campaign to expel the British from Northern Ireland and unite the province with the Irish republic in the south. BELFAST (AP) Barricades still straddled some streets of Belfast and other Northern Ireland towns Saturday but the province's citizens basked in one of the first long spells of relaxation after three years of sectarian strife. The militant Protestant Ulster Defense Associatio UDA pulled down two of the barricades it had erected at key points throughout the province.

Barricades were erected at Castler-eagh, a Roman Catholic district of Belfast, Lisburn, Rath-coole, Ballymena and Bangor.

Angel Goodman, a 7-month-old poodle received a certificate signed by the mayor appointing her to the committee. A long list of her new responsibilities includes meeting with the mayor once a year, exchanging ideas with community leaders, and encouraging new membership in the committee. The appointment came after Angel's owner, Barry Goodman, also a member of the committee, bet he could get his dog appointed.

He recommended appointment of bis niece. "We didn't know his niece would turn out to be a dog," Mayor Yorty said. MdDRJDDAiYf (DRILLS Sears (CDnaDdDse a IBHffi Capacity (Dir a WasDneir Big D35-ll. Capsieity IPerm sine nt Press Washer 3-Cyclc Portable Washer ncBcJB 24-in. wide by 32 V4-in.
