"I'm putting tho lid on my activities here," he said, "and I hope I've got the lid on at home" an affectionate reference to his wife, Martha, whoso public demands that ho leave politics persuaded him to resign one week ago from his post as director of the Nixon re-election campaign. His new office In the law firm of Mudge, Rose, Guthrie and Alexander Is less than 50 paces from tho office where ho ran the campaign, but the difference In atmosphere could be measured in light years. There were no callers waiting to see him outside, and the telephone remained still.

It seemed a perfect setting for a man who intends to put in a normal 9-to-5 workday "advising" the Nixon campaign staff and practicing some law while staying as far as he can from the operational details that kept him going 18 hours a day, seven days a week and finally drove his wife to Issue her public ultimatum. "There was really no other choice," he said Saturday. "My bride was tired of traveling, tired of making speeches, nervous about flying, and I wasn't around much to help. It was as simple as that," Mitchell said. The clear Implication was that Mrs.

Mitchell regarded by Nixon's campaign strategists as a major drawing card at fund-raisers and other gatherings would be doing little or no campaigning. On the vice-presidency, Mitchell said he thought Mr. Nixon was wise to "keep his options open until the convention," but that personally he saw no real alternative to Vice President Agnew. He said he expected John B. Con-nally, former Secretary of tho Treasury, to make a substantial contribution to the campaign, and noted with obvious satisfaction, "There Is no shortage of Democrats prepared to help us in the event McGovern wins the nomination." He also said that he expected Nixon to make substantial in roads nmong normally Democratic Jewish and Roman Catholic voters, as well as workingmen "who have moved In to the a year bracket." Turning to the campaign, Mitchell said one task confronting his successor, Is to establish a clearly defined relationship with the President that would give i ready access to the oval office and freedom from political interference by the White House staff.

1 aft mis AGANA, Guam (UPI) A Japanese freighter and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter raced two tropical storms Saturday in a bid to rescue the six-man crew of a downed U.S. B52 bomber clinging to life rafts in rough seas off Guam. The eight engined jet was en route to a combat mission over Vietnam early Saturday when it plunged into the Pacific about 300 miles west of here, Air Force spokesmen said. WEATHERMEN REPORTED heavy rain in the area with high winds and swells running about 10 feet high.

The tropical siorms were heading for the area from two directions, they said. Air Force aircraft spotted the life rafts and verified that all six crewmen were aboard them but the circling pilots were unable to determine the condition of the downed airmen. Rescue crews reported at least one radio response from a life raft the spokesmen said. THE JAPANESE rescue ship and the Coast Guard cutter fought weather conditions so bad that a flight of other B52s was turned away from its Guam home base Saturday and forced to land in Okinawa. Their arrival on Japanese soil kicked off waves of protests.

In Omaha, the Strategic Air Command headquarters identified the crew members as Capt. Leroy L. Johnson of Pullman, aircraft commander; 1st Lt. William L. Neely III of Pittsburgh, co-pilot; 1st Lt.

The grain agreement signed Saturday will increase the U.S.'s agricultural exports by 17 per cent over the next three years.

UNDER THE agreement the Soviet Union will purchase grain on the commercial market from private grain dealers in the United States. At a briefing at the Western White House, Henry A. Kissinger, the President's adviser on national security, said the grain transaction would be used "to advance broader relations throughout the commercial field.

They were not near the explosion, which took place in the ground floor parking lot directly under Kanafani's apartment in the Hazmieh suburb of Beirut.

Schmid, a West German grandmaster and the owner of a book publishing firm in Bamberg, flew home Saturday morning and said he would return Thursday. He said he was leaving because one of his sons had been injured in a traffic accident. Schmid's assistant arbiter, Guid-mundur Arnlaugsson of Iceland, will be in charge of final preparations, which include the touchy 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 today to check on the facilities and hopefully approve them.
