WASHINGTON (AP) Environmental Protection Administrator William D. Ruckelshaus agreed to take command temporarily of the FBI without knowing whether it would force him to give up the EPA. says his personal spokesman.

White House spokesmen left the impression that it would, but Ruckelshaus quickly sought his own legal advice, and a reliable source said his resignation from EPA may not be a legal requirement. Ruckelshaus told newsmen following the surprise announcement Friday of his FBI assignment that he would take it only until a permanent FBI director--not himself--is chosen. He estimated this would take no longer than two months. Deputy EPA Director Robert Fri is expected to be in command in the interim. Fri said in an interview he assumed Ruckelshaus was leaving the EPA administrator's office only temporarily, but that No Stranger to Controversy the point was not specifically settled.

Fri said he spoke briefly with Ruckelshaus and found him "obviously surprised at the whole thing, and still trying to sort out the implications." Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray resigned Friday after reports that he destroyed papers of a convicted Watergate conspirator. Within two hours, Ruck- clshaus was summoned to the White House. was unawnre of what Bourjaily From Page 1A Six Elderly Persons Killed In Kansas Apartment Fire KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) a.m.

Kuckelshaus. 40. said Friday he would take the job for two months or so until Nixon finds .1 replacement for L.

Patrick Gray III. Gray withdrew his name as permanent successor to J. Edgar Hoover after allegations of impropriety in the FBI probe of the Watergate affair and resigned as acting director after it was reported Friday he destroyed documents from 'the safe of a convicted Watergate conspirator. As head of the EPA, the nation's first agency created especially to protect the environment. Ruckelshaus ran the gauntlet between environmentalists demanding protection of natural resources and industry leaders bent on increasing the nation's production.

Virtually all Ruckelshaus' decisions contained the seed of controversy: legal actions filed against city governments for water pollutions; prosecution of. and sometime settlements with, industrial polluters; a ban on the pesticide DDT; and most recently his compromise of 1975 automobile emission standards. Ruckelshaus ran for the Senate as a Republican from Indiana in 1968. Democrat Birch Bayh whipped him by 72.000 votes. Some feel the Indianapolis native, a Princeton University and Harvard Law School graduate, would like to try again.

It's in the family. His father was an Indiana state legislator, and Ruck- elshaus followed in his footsteps in 1967. becoming the state House of Representatives' first freshman ever chosen majority leader to to Marie Upmier ELY Mrs. Ham (Mane) zel ernon, 85; Dale Kalene. Ipmier.

2, 1970, President Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency by executive reorganization and Ruck- elshaus became its first director. His wife, Jill, is as outspoken as he is. Representing the nonpartisan National Women's Political Caucus last August, she urged the Republican National Convention to support the legalization of abortion, a view directly opposed by President Nixon. Bill and Jill Ruckelshaus have five children, but the na- i first environmental guardian says population control will become a necessity if the environment is to be saved in the long run. this was to be," said Jack Conmy, his personal spokesman.

Forty-five minutes later in a brief news conference Ruck- elshaus said he felt obliged to accept the FBI assignment temporarily and would press the Watergate investigation onward, without favor. Asked if Ruckelshaus accepted, the FBI job without even knowing whether it would force him out of EPA, Conmy said, put your finger on it."
