He had invited 122 mlttee, the House Foreign Af legislators to attend and to question the sometimes elusive Henry A. Kissinger, Nixon's national security advisor. Most of the invited Senate and House members showed up.

In urging approval by Sept. 1 of a treaty with the Soviets limiting defensive strategic arms and a companion executive agreement to curb offensive missiles, Nixon added he was not suggesting it should take that long. But in any case, he said, he was hopeful the way could be cleared for the beginning of talks in October on broadening limitations on offensive weapons. The chief executive also urged his audience to fund a bigger defense program, saying the Soviets have made it clear "they are going forward with' offensive programs." Should the United States stand pat, or disarm unilaterally, the Soviets no longer would have any incentive to negotiate further arms curbs, he said.

By coincidence, none of the current frontrunners for the Democratic presidential nomination is a member of any of these panels. However, two who rank farther down the list of candidates, Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie of Maine and Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, were invited by reason of their membership on the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, respectively. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans to begin hearings on the arms package Monday, with Secretary of State William P. Rogers to begin presentation of the administration's case.

(AP)-Davld hanks lived under the death sentence for 44 years, but escaped electrocution because he was called a "lunatic." He'll soon be paroled from Menard State Prison and the first thing he wants to do Is get some Kentucky fried chicken, "if they'll let me." Shanks is 72. Last year his left leg was amputated because of diabetes. "All I do now is watch television," he said. He was convicted of the murder of a female school teacher in Chicago in 1928. She was hit on the head with a pipe.

When he got to the prison his papers carried a medical-legal description commonly used at the time-lunatic. It saved his life but the death threat remained with these words in Shank's file "sentence until recovery, then be electrocuted." From 1929 until 1935 Shanks was confined to a atate insane asylum at Chester. When the prison got a psychiatric ward he was transferred there. He worked as a porter in the prison barber shop. Shanks always feared that someday he might be electrocuted said Dr.

Terry Brelje, administrator of the Psychiatric Division of the Illinois Department of Corrections. He said that Shanks does not possess a high I.Q., but "he is not Raymond West, 703 Breckenridge, has been promoted to superintendent of maintenance at Missouri Military Academy, Col.
