California planned to yield to Connecticut when the states were called for nominations so Sen. Abraham A.

It is the 282nd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, in which the Protestant armies of William of Orange defeated the Roman Catholic forces of James II.

SIX BIG CITIES In 1971, 59 cities showed a decrease, while only 22 had a decline in 1970, he said. The most significant change in the three months, said Kleindienst, occurred in the six cities with more than a million population.

3c The Associated Prist BELFAST Gunmen killed three men early today just before Northern Ireland's Prot estants started their first big marches of the summer. Roman Catholics, who view the parades as provocative, made no attempt to interfere. The parades celebrating a Protestant victory over Catholic forces nearly three centuries ago began peacefully in three cities of the province Belfast, Londonderry and Por-tadown. There was almost a car-nival atmosphere as the marchers flowed down the streets, with drums thumping, flutes piping and banners waving. The parade in Belfast, however, included a convoy of military-looking vehicles manned by masked and armed members of the extremist Protestant group, the Ulster Defense Association.

OCCURRED BEFORE A record number of British troops stood guard along the parade routes. The separate shooting incidents occurred before the parades got under way. Automatic fire riddled a 19-year-old Protestant walking with his father in a park in the town of Portadown. An hour later, five masked gunmen believed to be Protestant executioners broke into a home in Belfast and mur For gifts you give with pride, let Pribble's be your Pribble's Jewelry, Inc.

Cablevision's Channel 6 begins broadcasting automatically, the camera trained on weather gauges. But last Saturday somebody broke into the studio before 6 and placed a Playboy nude centerfold in front of the gauges. The broadcasters said they were surprised at how few people complained at the change in programming. "Only one or two people called," station manager Craig Rahn said yesterday. The centerfold was visible for 75 minutes.

Rahn said he was toying with idea of making it a regular Saturday feature. The sheriffs office said it was investigating. Said Sgt. Davis Harris: "We're just going to have to hunt for somebody with a missing Plavbov centerfold." Th Associated Press WASHINGTON Serious crime in the nation during the first three months of this year rose only 1 per cent, the lowest increase in 11 years, the Justice Department announced today. The rate of increase was 6 per cent a year ago, and 13 per cent in 1970.
