He refused and radio broadcasts from Santiago said military forces opened an attack on the presidential palace in the capital city's downtown section. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Allende rejected the armed forces demands in a broadcast early in the day, saying he would defend his office to the death. Radio Pacifico of Santiago said in a broadcast monitored in La Paz, Bolivia, that tanks had surrounded the presidential palace. Chile's borders were closed and all communications into and out of the country were cut.

Airliners were turned back. Broadcasts monitored in nearby Argentina said the armed forces leaders claimed that they had seized control of the government.

Fleming, Mitchell's attorney in this case, told the three-judge panel that he could not, despite lengthy preparation, be ready for trial today. "I am not ready and that is a candid statement," he adding that the pressures of Watergate and other federal investigations had made it almost impossible for him to spend adequate time with his client. NEW YORK (AP) Former Atty.

Gen. John N. Mitchell watched today as his attorneys pleaded before a federal appeals panel "for a fair chance" to prepare his defense against conspiracy-perjury charges. Maurice H. Stans, former secretary of commerce, who also was making a plea ta delay the conspiracy-perjury trial scheduled to begin later today, was not present.

Court Can Rule Nixon, A ides Say WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon's lawyers were expected to argue before a nine-judge appeals court today that the President is not subject to William G. Hundley, who is representing Mitchell in the Watergate Senate hearings and Washington, D.C., grand jury proceedings, said, "Fleming could not get access to Mitchell because of these other investigations. Hundley said he had been notified this morning that the Senate hearings were scheduled to be completed by Nov. 1 and asked for a postponement until then, or at least for one month. Mitchell and Stans, the leaders of President Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign, are accused of obstructing a major fraud investigation of financier Robert L.

Vesco after Vesco made a secret 5200,000 cash contribution to the Nixon campaign fund last year. The contribution, with an additional $50,000 donated publicly by Vesco, was returned to him earlier this year. The refund came four months before the indictments in May but after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a massive civil fraud suit against Vesco. Since the indictment was returned against Mitchell and Stans last May 10, defense attorneys have sought unsuccessfully to dismiss charges or delay the trial, saying that "massive pretrial publicity" had precluded a fair trial. Presiding Judge Lee P.

Gagliardi was expected to question carefully the prospective jurors in an effort to find an impartial jury. Pretriarpublicity prompted Gagliardi to summon 1,500 prospective jurors, the largest panel court officials can remember. Jury selection could take from three days to a week. On Monday, defense and prosecuting attorneys met for 2'2 hours in Gagliardi's chambers, where they discussed questions the judge may put to prospective jurors and other procedures concerning the trial, expected to last about a month.

By DAVE BEAL Fowler, Dick is planning its first branch store in Johnson City's Oakdale Mall. The new store, announced today by L. S. Good Fowler's parent firm, will cover 80,000 square feet and is scheduled to open Aug. 1, 1975.

The store will front on Reynolds Road, north of the new Montgomery Ward Co. store now nearing completion at the northwest corner of Reynolds Road and Harry L. Drive. The announcement marks the first disclosure of new retail store plans at the mall since Montgomery Ward said 28 months ago that it planned to replace its Binghamton store with a new one at the mall. Russell B.

Wight, a principal with Interstate Properties, Inc, the Clifton, N.J, partnership developing the mall, said site work would be done this fall for the new store and construction would begin next spring. Interstate Properties will build the store and lease it to Fowler's. Wight predicted two more full-line department stores would announce plans "in about a month" to locate at the mall. He estimated that 105 to 110 stores, including Fowler's, Montgomery Ward and the two unannounced retailers would be occupying 750,000 square feet at the 70-acre center by 1975.

The situation in Chile has been near collapse for weeks after a series of strikes and terrorist attacks in protest to Allende. The junta criticized Allende for leading the country to "hunger, misery, poverty and control by foreign Marxist mercenaries." The military announcements were made in the name of a four-man junta identified as Gen. Augusto Pinochet, commander in chief of the army; Gen.

Edward N.

Heath, executive vice president at Fowler's, said the branch store decision reflected his store's "confidence in the community and assures us of a continuing role of leadership in retailing." Michael R. Savich, Johnson City's mayor, welcomed the department store's announcement. "The annexation of the Oakdale area, coupled with the reconstruction of Reynolds Road and the new Route 17 interchange, led to the emergence of a new burgeoning area within the village of Johnson City for retail development," Savich said. Development of the Oakdale Mall was encouraged several years ago, when a "highway development" concept was incorporated into the village's new zoning code, he said. Savich also said the mall would mean a substantial addition to the financially-squeezed village's tax rolls, (Continued on Page 4A) Inside The Press Columnist Sylvia Porter, in the first of five articles, tells you how to begin preparing today for your retirement.

Atty. Phil M. Canale says the slaying of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. is a closed case, despite the insistence of James Earl Ray that he is not the killer. "We are pretty well convinced Ray acted alone," Canale said.

"No one has come forward in five years with any new information that would prove otherwise." But Robert Livingston of Memphis, Ray's attorney, said on Monday that the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati has scheduled a hearing Oct. 9 on a request by Ray for a writ of habeas corpus. A similar petition was denied in U.S. District Court in Nashville in May.

The move is the latest in a series of legal maneuvers by Ray to gain his freedom since pleading guilty to the slaying of King at Memphis in 1968. Ray. 45. is serving a 99-year prison sentence at the state maximum security prison in Nashville. "What we are trying for is a trial for Ray based on the merits of the case." Livingston said.

The panel of judges is headed by United States Court of Appeals Chief Judge David L. Bazelon. The lawyers hoped to convince the court that Nixon cannot be compelled to turn over the White House tape recordings on Watergate sought by special prosecutor Archibald Cox.

The appeal stemmed from the Aug. 29 order by Chief U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica that he be allowed to hear the tapes to determine what, if anything, should be turned over to the grand jury. The appeals court Monday rejected a request from the Senate Watergate committee for time to present its own arguments as a friend of the court.

That left today's hearing a three-way argument over Nixon's attempt to nullify Sirica's decision. Cox's attempt to expand it, and support of Sirica's position by two law professors selected by the judge. Sirica said Monday he would welcome a court order permitting Cox to join him in listening to the tapes.
