The theft came to light when a girl told the principal of the school from which the answers were stolen that she had been offered a set for sale. Gold's office was notifed. Meanwhile, a Long Island mother whose daughter had been offered the answers by a Brooklyn youth notified state education officials.

"The moral tone of society must be set by the government," Gold declared.

The names of the students who stole the answers were withheld by authorities. In Albany, Commissioner of Education Ewald V. Nyquist said: "I strongly recommend to all school authorities that no student whose graduation this June might have depended upon achieving a passing grade on one or more of the four canceled examinations be denied graduation because of the cancellation." The examinations that were canceled statewide were Comprehensive English, scheduled for 9:15 a.m. June 17; 11th-year math, at 1:15 p.m. June 17; Ninth-year math, 9:15 a.m., June 18; and biology, 9:15 a.m., June 19.

Cuomo gained the designation after three ballots that lasted more than seven hours. State Sen. Mary Anne Krupsak of Montgomery County and Assemblyman Antonio Olivieri of Manhattan captured enough support to win a spot on the primary election ballot without circulating petitions.

Cuomo Later Friday, the committee endorsed Rockland County Dist. Atty. Robert Meehan for the post of attorney general, to face four-term Republican Louis J. Lefkowitz. Meehan received 55 per cent of the vote to Bronx Borough President Robert Abrams' 44 per cent.

Abrams'showing won him an automatic spot on the primary ballot. Committee members were struggling to complete the ticket after their leaders gave up in trying to agree on a slate of candidates to endorse to the delegation. Progress was slow because of competition for almost every office. Samuels received the committee's designation for governor on Thursday night, easily defeating U.S. Rep.

Hugh Carey of Brooklyn. Samuels is a former Canandaigua industrialist and former chief of New York City's off-track betting operation. Cuomo is known for his mediation of the controversial Forest Hills housing dispute in Queens. He teaches law at St. Joh 's University.

Samuels and state Democratic Chairman Joseph Crangle met through the night Thursday with each other, county chairmen and candidates for other state offices. Samuels reported the meetings failed to produce a consensus on individual candidates for any of the state offices at stake. Samuels' first choice for lieutenant governor, Westchester County Executive Albert Del Bello, refused because of commitments to serve a full term in his present office.

Samuels expressed his preferences for candidates in the allnight meetings and the leaders pushed their choices. None commanded enough votes of committee members to force his choice. As a result, the convention was thrown open. "My decision," Samuels said in a news conference, "was to free my delegates to vote their consciences." Samuels said he would have "no difficulty running with any of the candidates who have been nominated." Samuels said he would like Carey to run for U.S. Senator, but Carey said he intends to compete with Samuels in a primary election for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

Under the rules of the committee, according to Crangle, balloting must continue until a candidate gains the majority necessary to win the committee designation. Ancy candidate who gains at least 25' per cent of the vote in any ballot would be guaranteed a line on the primary election ballot. Delegates groaned when Crangle announced the rule. It raised the possibility of sessions continuing far into the night before a complete ticket could be designated. Only one ballot was needed Thursday night for Samuels to win the majority.

Carey got on the ballot by winning 31 per cent of the vote. Jf 1 h' A. JIDDA, Saudi Arabia (AP) King Faisal welcomed President Nixon to his oil-rich kingdom on Friday with a warm embrace and 'a warning that there can be no permanent Arab-Israeli peace until Israel gives Jerusalem back to the Arabs. Nixon arrived to a subdued but friendly reception by a moderately large crowd of Saudis after the cheering and jubilation of a two-day visit to Egypt. Before his departure Friday from Cairo, Nixon said the United States is prepared to help Egypt develop nuclear power for peaceful uses.

Faisal used his air-conditioned I MOSCOW (AP) Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev said Friday Russia is prepared "right now" to reach an accord with America on limiting and eventually ending underground nuclear tests. His declaration came less than two weeks before President Nixon's sched uled arrival here. It also came as Paul H. Nitze announced in Washington he was quitting as a member of the U.S.

Under a 1963 pact, Moscow and Washington agreed to ban nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere and under the sea, but there was no provision against the explosion of nuclear devices underground. According to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission the last announced U.S.

underground test was Feb. 27, and the last seismic signal presumed to be a Soviet underground test was recorded on May 31. "We are ready to reach an agreement with the United States right now on the limitation of underground nuclear tests up to their full termination according to a coordinated timetable," the Soviet news agency Tass quoted Brezhnev as saying in a Kremlin speech. The declaration coincided with an announcement that Nixon will attend a But he warned that his country cannot approve of any harm which may be inflicted on the nations of the Arab-Islamic community. Faisal's government was a leader of the Arab oil boycott against the United States after last October's Middle East war, and it has implied that the boycott might be renewed if America fails in its efforts for a Middle East peace.

Nixon said his five-nation Middle East tour will help him increase his knowledge of the region, and he spoke of efforts to continue the momentum towards the goal of lasting peace. Nixon goes to Damascus, Syria, today and to Israel on Sunday before winding up his tour in Jordan. The news had already reached here that Nixon, in the last major act of his triumphal stay in Egypt, had promised Sadat the United States would negotiate an agreement to help his government in the development of nuclear power for peaceful purposes giving that leading Arab nation something Israel has had for years. The nuclear aid deal came in a joint communique that also announced a U.S. program for industrial and agricultural aid to Egypt.

Nuclear Deal Is Criticized WASHINGTON (AP) Members of Congress reacted with skepticism and concern Friday at President Nixon's proposal to furnish nuclear power reactors and fuel to Egypt. "There are new methods to develop a nuclear bomb rather simply," Sen. Henry M. Jackson, said. Sen.

Charles H. Percy, said he is "deeply concerned about the tion of nuclear capabilities" in the Middle East. Jackson, as a member of the Senate-House Committee on Atomic Energy for 25 years, said he was surprised at "the lack of full consultation with the joint committee." Jackson said a byproduct of a nuclear power plant "happens to be plutonium." "You can make a bomb straight out of plutonium," Jackson said. "That's what the Indians did."

Two other exams were postponed for 24 hours. The examinations were to have been given statewide to 700.000 students. They lead to regents diplomas, the highest academic diploma in the state. "We have reason to believe the answers were sold to students upstate," said Brooklyn Dist.

Atty. Eugene Gold, who blamed the scandal on the low moral tone in American government and elsewhere. Gold added that tens of thousands of copies of the examination answer sheets were sold in New York City and on Long Island, at 50 cents to $1 per copy. He said his investigators came across one high school, which he did not identify, "in which every student had purchased answers to the exams." State education officials urged that no student be denied graduation because of the cancellations of the exams. Meanwhile, other students will not be required to make them up a later date.

Gold said two college and two high school students invaded a Jewish private school in Brooklyn last weekend, where they obtained original answer sheets to the six exams. They made photocopies, then returned the originals to their envelopes, which were resealed. Answers were recopied and sold to a limited number of student distributors. These in turn made copies of their own by the thousands for sale. The district attorney said one of the four students who took part in the theft did so only to obtain the answers for his own exams.

The other three, however, sold single 1 1 1 i- i .1. 1 w. I lAftu' Rolls-Royce to zip Nixon from the airport to the guest palace where the President will stay. They drove at about 65 miles per hour through the dusty streets of Jidda, applauded by sidewalk crowds of about 5,000. The two leaders then discussed international issues for about 30 minutes.

Later, speaking at a state dinner in the ballroom of the royal palace, Faisal became the second Arab leader in three days to press Nixon publicly for a more active U.S. role in resolving longstanding Middle East issues. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt suggested on Wednesday that the United States do more to help determine the future of the 3 million Palestinians displaced in Israel's independence war in 1948. "We believe that there will never be a lasting peace in the area unless Jerusalem is liberated and returned to Arab sovereignty, unless there is liberation of all the occupied Arab territories and unless Arab peoples of Palestine regain their rights to return to their homes and the right self-determination," Faisal said. "The injustice and aggression which were wrought on the Arabs of Palestine are unprecedented in history, for not even in the darkest ages had a whole population of a country been driven out of their homes' and been replaced by aliens." Nixon responded that "we cannot produce an instant formula to solve all long-time problems." He pledged, how- ever, that the United States will continue "a positive role working toward a goal of permanent peace." Faisal, whose country has the world's largest known oil reserves, also referred obliquely to the desire of the United States, Europe and Japan for an uninterrupted flow of Saudi oil.
