Reliable sources said President Nicolae Ceausescu has offered concessions to the Soviet Union including renewal of a 20-year friendship and assistance pact in return for guarantees that Romania would not be occupied. A formula proposed to the five hard-line members of the Warsaw Pact reportedly calls for a conference of ruling Communist parties to discuss terms for the withdrawal of occupation forces from Czechoslovakia under an accord to be found with the liberal Prague leadership. According to the sources, restoration of Czechoslovakia's full sovereignty is considered a pre-on for an over-all settlement. The concessions Romania was said to have offered include: Renewal of the Romania-Soviet pact of 1943 which ran out earlier this year and was not renewed because of disagreement on the terms.

A formal declaration of loyalty to the Warsaw Alliance to assure the Kremlin that independent-minded Romania would remain a member. Participation of Romanian troops in pact maneuvers, which virtually ceased four years ago. However, maneuvers should not be held on Romanian territory for the time being evidently because they might serve as a pretext for occupation. More Romanian trade with East European countries whose share in the over-all volume has fallen behind trade with the West. A higher share in the East bloc's foreign aid for underdeveloped countries.

The formula was said to have been submitted to pact governments earlier this week, following Ceausescu's Aug. 24 meeting with Soviet Ambassador Alexander Bassev, which triggered speculation about a Kremlin ultimatum to let Warsaw Pact troops enter Romania for maneuvers. The government maintained strict silence despite Soviet, Hungarian and Polish charges of having supported Czechoslovak "counterrevolutionaries" by siding with the forces of Party Chief Alexandre Dubcek. But the press continued to give top coverage to Czechoslovak developments. The Bucharest regime withheld commnet on President Johnson's statement which quoted rumors of another Soviet invasion in southeast Europe.

Government-controlled news media did not report the speech, but many Romanians heard about it from Western radio stations. The official silence was part of the strategy of avoiding moves the Kremlin could take as provocation. In private conversations, officials welcomed Johnson's words as a sign of encouragement. "The United States will not go to war to defend us, but surely the Russians will listen to Johnson," one official said. Western diplomats and Roma- SLAIN ENVOY'S FAMILY The family of the late U.S.

1 See Further Delay In Trial of Gein A spokesman for Circuit Judge Robert Gollmar of Bara-boo told the Daily Northwestern Friday that he expects that the Ed Gein murder trial will not start before November. He said that Judge Gollmar must preside at a murder trial beginning in Green Bay on Sept. 9 which is expected to take three to five weeks. He said that the judge will not begin reviewing the briefs submitted by' the attorneys in the Gein case until after the Green Bay trial is finished. The proceedings in the Gein case have been at a standstill since last April, when Gollmar adjourned the case until he could consider pre-trial motions made by the defense.

At that time, 'Gein's co-defense attorney. Dominic Frinzi, entered a motion to throw out a confession made by Gein shortly after he allegedly murdered Mrs. Ber-nice Worden of Plainfield in November, 1957. Frinzi maintained that the confession should be suppressed as evidence on the grounds that Gein was in too suggestible a state of mind to resist attempts to persuade him to confess. Frinzi also sought at that time to have Gein re-admitted to Central State Hospital in Wau-pun for treatment until his trial began.

However, Gein's attorneys later changed their mind and withdrew this request, on the grounds that it might be considered evidence that Gein isn't mentally competent to stand trial. There had been earlier indications that the Gein trial might begin by September. If the trial is not completed before the end of this year, Gein's other attorney. William Belter, might be faced with a conflict of interest. Belter is running for the Republican nomination for Waushara County district attorney.

He would take office in January if he is elected. Gein has been in the Winnebago County jail since he was released from Central State Hospital last January to stand trial.

(AP) The kidnaper of 4-year-old Stanley Stalford telephoned four restaurants in the Los Angeles area before he found a man willing to deliver $250,000 ransom. Before Harold "Red" Tracton agreed, the caller said of the others: "They all said they didn't want to get involved." A nerve-wracking 36 hours fol- lowed for Tracton, 47.

The ordeal included 15 hushed phone: conversations, the care of a 50-pound satchel containing $250,000 in $20 bills and a lonely drive to the payoff spot with the hope FBI agents were somewhere near, watching. At the end Robert L. Dacy, 39, an ex-convict, was wounded and captured Friday in a wild auto chase and gun battle, and the frightened boy was returned to his parents. Dacy, in a hospital with a broken right leg, later pleaded innocent to two state counts of kidnaping for ransom. He was ordered held without bond with his preliminary hearing set for Sept.

20 in Municipal Court. "I took good care of your boy," Dacy told the mother as AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) President Johnson, noting reports Red troops are massing for a possible Czech-style invasion elsewhere in Eastern Europe, says he will not appease those who "prowl across national boundaries." "Let no would-be aggressors misjudge American policy during this administration," Johnson said Friday night in the strongest language he has beamed toward Moscow in months. Johnson, however, in a speech to a hushed audience of dairymen in San Antonio, stopped well short of threatening military action against any Soviet border busting. He named no country as a possible target of a new misjudge American policy during this administration.

I express the hope and the belief that there will be no condoning of aggressors and no appeasement of those who prowl across national boundaries by this or by any other American administration" he said. After deploring the Czech invasion, he said, "There are even rumors late this evening that this action might be repeated elsewhere in the days ahead in Eastern Europe." He went on to say, "We cannot and we must not in the year 1968 return to a world of unbridled aggression." Even while speaking of possible Soviet military moves, Johnson expressed hope that world leaders would resolve problems "around a conference table instead of on the battlefield." But White House sources said Johnson spoke on the basis of sufficient information, presumably about threats to Romania, to cause Shortly before leaving his ranch home to fly by helicopter for the annual convention of Milk Producers, a marketing cooperative, Johnson received a report of ominous signs in Eastern Europe from Walt W. Rostow, his special assistant for national security affairs. The President, aids said, then conferred by telephone with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford before preparing an addition to his speech text.

"Let no one unleash the dogs of war," Johnson told the 3,500 dairymen. "Let no would-be aggressor "Such will be my purpose in the remaining days of my public service," he said. Turning to the Czechoslovaki-an situation, he said "I tell you that it was with a heavy heart that I have closely followed and observed the events in Czechoslovakia over the past several days. It is clear to me that the leaders in Moscow have felt that their interests were threatened by the emergency of even modest degrees of national independence and human liberty in Eastern Europe." In another strong passage, he said: "So, let no one unleash the dogs of war. Let no one even in this period of highly charged domestic debate in our country even doubt what the true views Continued on Page 3, Col.

Grapp, FBI agent in charge, said Dacy "at all times was trying to use the boy as a shield." During the 28-block chase over streets, alleys and parking lots, agents were instructed: "Don't do anything that could endanger the boy." "We had to be careful with our firing," Grapp said. "They certainly weren't shooting as to endanger the boy." Return gunfire broke the windshield of Grapp's car and hit the right have a bearing on the penalty if Dacy is convicted. When the first telephone call from the kidnaper came at his restaurant, Tracton said, the man told him: "I've called three other restaurant men and asked them if they'd be the intermediary. They all said they didn't want to get involved." He didn't say why he wanted a restaurant man involved, Tracton said. Stalford, board chairman of the $100-million fidelity Bank, and his family had eaten in Tracton's restaurant.

But the husky Tracton doesn't know why the kidnaper singled him out as intermediary. "It's funny," he said after the capture and rescue. "All I could think about was the kid. I never had a fear and, believe me, I'm not a brave fella. I have a daughter, but all I was thinking about was the kid."

Journalists and broadcasters have been operating clandestinely to put out uncensored news. One informant said Cernik was asked at a briefing three days ago if the government could guarantee journalists' safety if they came out from underground. "I can't even guarantee the government's safety," the informant quoted Cernik as Jiri Hajek would return to Czechoslovakia from Yugoslavia. Both were abroad when the Soviet troops invaded. The entry of Russian experts into key positions came despite the accord worked out in Moscow.

That provided the occupation troops would leave Czechoslovakia when the situation "normalizes" and would not interfere in the country's internal affairs. The Czechoslovak government has been going ahead with another part of the accord reim-position of press censorship. The government said Friday already had resigned. Soviet soldiers guarded his ministry and he has not been in his office for 10 days, although he still attends Cabinet meetings. Information Minister Miroslav Galuska, Education Minister Vladimir Kadlec and Cestmir Cisar, the Communist party Presidium member in charge of the press, also were reported likely to lose their jobs.

Cisar has been in hiding. There was some doubt whether Deputy Premier Ota Sik, Dubcek planner of economic reforms, and Foreign Minister mittee building. The Soviet press reported resistance to occupation troops in the countryside and said, "The struggle is far from being over." The main figure reported on the way out in Premier Oldrich Cernik's government shuffle was Interior Minister Josef Pavel. Under him, the secret police had stayed in the background since Communist party chief Alexander Dubcek began in January leading the nation away from 20 years of Stalinist rule. There were reports, but no official confirmation, that Pavel PRAGUE (AP) Liberals who controlled information, education and the secret police were reported their way out today in a shuffle to make Czechoslovakia's Communist government more acceptable to Moscow.
