Revenue Aid To Stales Wins Key House Test WASHINGTON The House Wednesday pushed toward passage a $5.3 billion-a-yeur program of aid to states and cities, knocking aside a major roadblock. It voted 223 to 185 against permitting amendments. If the move to open up the bill had succeeded, Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, said, he would have withdrawn the measure at least tern-porarily.

Mills, handling the measure as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, predicted passage Thursday. The Senate has yet to act. The bill, for which governors, mayors and other local officials across the country have been lobbying tirelessly, is a substitute for President Nixon's revenue-sharing program. But his administration has accepted it and It has the support of leaders of both parties in the House. The opposition also crossed party lines.

It includes members who object to the principle, others who say the distribution formula is unfair and still others who object to a single measure appropriating nearly $30 billion over five years, without the usual annual review of funding by the Appropriations Committee. On the-key procedural test, 110 Democrats and 113 Republicans' voted to bar amendments, 128 Democrats and 57 Republicans against.

North Vietnam Wednesday in Paris discouraged any American optimism that the suspended peace talks will resume shortly and prove fruitful because of the Moscow summit meeting and trian-g lar international diplomacy among the United States, China and the Soviet Union. HANOI'S PEACE talks delegation spokesman Nguyen Thanh Le, at a tea party for members of the press, delivered a series of remarks carrying oblique criticism of the Soviet Union and China, exasperation at U.S. efforts to persuade Hanoi's Soviet and Chinese allies to force a peace settlement, and a determination not to change the present North Vietnamese policy.

(UPI) Military Aid Cuts By SALT Hope Of Laird WASHINGTON (Reuter) Defense Secretary Melvin Laird said Wednesday he believed the United States and Soviet Union could negotiate on reductions in military aid to the Middle East and Far East. He made the comment in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Regarding the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with the Soviet Union expected to begin in October, Laird said: "I BELIEVE we can have negotiations on reductions in military assistance in places like the Middle East and the Far East." Laird clashed with senators who accused him of using scare tactics in giving misinformation to obtain funds for new weapons The flare up came after Laird told the committee that Russia is building new Y-class submarines with missiles comparable in range and size to those of the 6,000 mile range missiles planned for the proposed new U.

Rogers will travel to three Eastern European countries behind the Iron Curtain and go to Persian Gulf nations and Greece at President Nixon's request to talk to their leaders about "prospects for the improvements in cooperation and security in Europe." These nations were added to a Far East trip Rogers is making to attend the SEATO and ANZUS pact meetings in Australia June 26-29.

IN MAKING the announcement Wednesday, White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said the reason for extending Rogers' mission was President Nixon's interest "in further contacts and direct discussions with other leaders throughout the world." Rogers will be reporting also on Nixon's summit trips. The East European stops include a visits to Romania, Yugoslavia and Hungary. Other stops will be in Bahrain, Kuwait and Greece. This will be the first visit by a secretary of state to Hungary, the White House said.

ROGERS, WHO will be accompanied by his wife, leaves Saturday and the trip will last until July 10. Ziegler said that Rogers will be meeting with some heads of state and some foreign ministers during his visits, in which he will be discussing improving bilateral relations and also is expected to discuss a European security conference. Ziegler was asked if it was a coincidence that national security adviser Henry Kissinger, former Treasury Secretary John B. Con-nally and Rogers were all making far flung journeys at the same time. He said it was compatible with the President's efforts to communicate with leaders throughout the world, to consult with them and to get their views.

Chou Spends Hours Talking With Kissinger PEKING (Reuter) U.S. special envoy Henry Kissinger held more than five hours of talks Wednesday with Premier Chu En-Lai, and Wednesday night Chinese leaders were apparently assessing whatever messages or proposals Presi-dent Nixon's aide has carried from Washington. Dozens of the limousines used by China's leadership were parked outside Peking's Great Hall of the People Wednesday night where Kissinger had held the talks. There was no confirmation that the meeting had any connection with the intensive Sino-American talks, but the limousines began arriving at the hall shortly after Kissinger left at dusk.

By United Press International Israeli air and ground forces struck into Lebanon on two fronts Wednesday, capturing five high-ranking Syrian officers and causing heavy casualties and damages in raids which obviously caught Lebanese defense units by surprise despite fears of reprisals for the Lod airport massacre. A Lebanese military communique said one Lebanese officer and three gendarmes also were captured while nine persons were killed and 18 wounded in the "flagrant" attacks. But Foreign Minister Khalil Abou Hamad, announcing that Lebanon sent an urgent complaint to the U.N. Security Council in New York, said a "large number of civilians were killed and wounded." A SENIOR military official in Tel Aviv said the five Syrians, including a brigadier general, were captured about 100 yards from the border by an Israeli armored patrol.

He said the "prize catch" came as a complete surprise. I orrespondent Thomas Cheatham reported from Tel Aviv that sources described it as one of Israel's greatest intelligence windfalls since the 1967 Middle East War. THE GROUND raid near the village of Ramieh in the southern border area was part of the first Israeli air and ground attacks across the front in four months. It came even as Egyptian, Syrian and Libyan leaders met in Egypt's Mediterranean resort of Marsa Matruh to review the Middle East crisis. The three Arab nations are joined in the Federation of Arab Republics, which embraces about 45 million persons or about half of the Arab world's population.

THERE WAS no immediate comment on the Israeli raid from Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Syrian President Hefez Assad and Libyan Premier Moammar Khada- fy. An Israeli attack against Lebanon had been feared since 25 persons were killed or fatally wounded at Tel Aviv's Lod airport May 30 by three Japanese terrorists said to be working for an Arab guerrilla organization with headquarters in Beirut. Fears were sharpened following the wounding in guerrilla attacks of six Israelis in the past two days. Paintings, Packwood 10 a.m. 1:30 p.m.

Maltland Art Center Oallery, Pierr patlon CHERRY HILL, N. J. A security guard armed with two sawed-off rifles went on a shooting spree in an office building Wednesday, killing bystanders as they scrambled for cover. Six persons were killed and seven others, including the alleged gunman, were wounded. One man was injured severely when he leaped through a window to escape the fusillade.

POLICE CHIEF Frank Jones said the alleged gunman, Edwin C. Grace, 33, of Brooklyn, N. shot himself in the neck and head and was brought from the building along with other wounded persons before authorities realized who he was. Cherry Hill Mayor John Holden said Grace was a Pinkerton guard on assignment for the detective agency in nearby Williamstown. Holden said Grace had been living in the Cherry Hill area for about a year.

He said police knew of no motive for the shootings. PINKERTON Vice President William Linn said Grace was assigned to the Trenton office but was not on duty at the time of the shootings.
