Mrs. Rose Kennedy sat on her other side dressed in a dark suit and a wide-brimmed hat.

THE CHURCH WAS JAMMED with friends and relatives of the Kennedys and the groom, David Lee Townsend, 25, a long-haired, bearded Harvard doctoral student. The bridesmaids included Caroline Kennedy, 16-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy. Her mother, Jackie Onassis, did not attend. The Edward Kennedys and a physician broke the news to young Teddy at midday Friday about the decision to amputate.

The boy was taken into surgery at about 8:30 a.m. yesterday. The hour-long operation was performed by Dr. George Hyatt, chief of orthopedic surgery at the hospital. A malignant growth discovered in diagnostic tests that began Nov.

Most bone cancers are difficult to cure, it said, because the spreading tumor is usually at an advanced stage when discovered. By GARY THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI) In a morning of tragedy and muted joy, Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy, comforted his cancer-stricken son after his right leg was amputated yesterday, and within an hour gave his niece away in marriage to a chorus of "Irish Eyes Are Smiling." Kennedy and his wife, Joan, were waiting when their blond, blue-eyed son, 12-year-old Edward was wheeled back into his room at Georgetown University Hospital about 10 a.m. after surgery for removal of his right leg above the knee. A hospital spokesman said young Teddy, whose bone cancer was diagnosed a week ago, was in satisfactory condition. IN EARLY EVENING, the hospital quoted doctors as saying the boy was "resting well in his room, and his general condition is satisfactory." While his wife remained behind, the distraught senator left the hospital 20 minutes later for Holy Trinity Church Georgetown, one block from the university campus, for the wedding of Kathleen Kennedy, 22, the oldest of the 11 children of his slain brother, Robert F. Kennedy.

Looking pained as he tried to smile reassuringly, the senator arrived with the bride in a limousine and escorted her up the steps of the red stone church only minutes before the Roman Catho By BOB WOODWARD and CARL BERNSTEIN Washington Post Service WASHINGTON Documents turned over to the Senate Judiciary Committee by former Atty, Gen. Elliot L. Richardson almost two weeks ago appear to support Richardson's version of the events that led to the firing of Archibald Cox as special Watergate prosecutor. Seven of the documents, either not released publicly or previously overlooked, do not support President Nixon's private remarks to congressmen during White House meet ings last week that Richardson was untruthful in his Senate Judiciary Committee testimony in early November about the Cox firing and Richardson's own resignation on Oct. 20.

Specifically, the President and his White House chief of staff, Alexander M. Haig, have charged that Richardson both agreed to and initiated a proposed restriction on future access by Cox to White House tapes and memos. IN ADDITION, the President and Haig have reportedly told congressmen that Richardson had ini tially agreed with the decision to fire Cox and did not make it clear that he would resign over the issue. One of the Senate Judiciary Committee documents, a three-page posed compromise of the White House tapes subpoena issue, dated Oct 17 and drafted by Richardson, made no mention that the plan for Sen. John L.

Stennis, to hear the tapes would include restrictions on Cox subpoenaing other White House tapes and notes when needed for evidence. In a two-page comment on Richardson's proposal, denies milk fund charges By CARROLL KILPATRICK Washington Post Service ORLANDO, Fla. Declaring that "I am not a crook," President Nixon vigorously defended his record in the Watergate case here last night and said he had never profited from his public service. The President acknowledged under questioning that he paid only nominal income taxes in 1970 and 1971 but refused to disclose the exact amount. He also said that his brother Donald's telephone was tapped for unexplained security reasons.

In an hour-long televised question-and-answer session with 400 Associated Press managing editors Nixon was tense and sometimes misspoke. But he maintained his innocence in the Watergate case and promised to supply more details on his personal finances and more evidence from tapes and presidential documents. THE PRESIDENT said he hoped very much to be able to avoid gasoline rationing and predicted that rationing would not be required if there is sufficient voluntary cooperation. The President was loquacious in his answers and at the end solicited a question on the charges that the Administration raised milk support prices in exchange for campaign contributions from the milk lobby. Denying the charge, the President said Democrats led the fight in the House and Senate for higher support prices and pointed a gun at his head requiring him to boost support prices.

THE PRESIDENT acknowledged that he had "made a mistake" in not more closely supervising campaign activities. In a question on what he may do after he leaves office, he quipped that it depended on when he left. Then, turning serious, he said he would write but would not speak, practice law or serve on boards of directors. One thing he will do is work for new rules of campaign procedures. He said he did not want to be remembered as a president who did many things but let his own campaign get out of hand.

Discussing energy conservation, Nixon drew laughter when he said that he had made a saving by refusing to allow a back-up aircraft to follow him on this trip. "If this one goes down," he said in reference to Air Force One, "they don't have to impeach." WHILE THE President was nervous, he was not floored by any of the questions but answered them much as he does in any press conference. He flew here last night from his Key Biscayne home for the much-heralded question-and-answer period. He was well prepared, remembering dates and times when he held key meetings with various aides on Watergate matters. Summing up, he said the tapes would prove that he had no prior knowledge of See NIXON on A-16, Col.

2 dated the next day, Oct. 18, Cox specifically objected to the compromise because it did not establish "the special prosecutor's entitlement to other evidence." This appears to indicate that Cox was unaware that any compromise under discussion would restrict his future access to White House materials. RESPONDING to Cox's comment on the same day. White House lawyer Charles Alan Wright specifically objected to Cox's introduction of the issue of future access, according to a copy of Wright's note. The requests for future access to White House material, Wright wrote, "departs so far from that proposal and the purpose for which it was made that we could not accede to them in any form." Then in a letter the next day, Oct.

19, to Wright, Cox made reference to an intervening phone call in which Wright said that Cox would be banned from going to court to obtain additional White House tapes and documents. Cox indicated that this is the first time he learned Hawaiian Electric strike is scheduled for midnight i-'i It lt 7jvm8Bfm that a compromise on the nine originally subpoenaed see Papers on A-16, Col. 1 uled as of last night. Francis J. Kennedy, a spokesman for the union said, "We're preparing for a long strike, but we normally do.

I haven't any real idea how long the strike may last. "Both sides are available for discussions." Richard L. Summers, vice president in charge of industrial relations for Hawaiian Electric, said that electrical service would be maintained at full strength by supervisory personnel. "We won't do any construction," Summers said. "But we'll keep the regular service going." REACHED LATER, Carl Williams, HECO president, repeated Summers' observations.

"We're making the detailed plans now," Williams said. The previous contract between union and management expired Oct. 31. Employes of the Hawaiian Electric Company are scheduled to walk off the job one minute past midnight tonight after reaching an "impasse" in their negotiations with management yesterday. But HECO said the lights will stay on, with all switches and dials monitored by company executives and supervisors.

The strike seemed imminent yesterday afternoon when a statement was released by Robert Castry, Federal mediator in the dispute between the electric company and 1,110. members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. CASTREY SAID, "HECO AND IBEW Local 1260 have reached an impasse in their collective bargaining talks for a new contract, and a strike is scheduled to commence at the start of employes' shifts after 12:01 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19, 1973.

"Principal issues in the dispute are wages, pensions, sub-contracting, meal allowances, and holidays." Castrey added that negotiations would continue.

The policy was initiated earlier this year to relieve the economic pressures that cause prime agricultural lands of Hawaii to disappear into housing tracts and retail centers of urban living. Why one landowner should pay a property tax of $6 an acre when another pays a tax of $150 an acre for the same kind of land is analyzed in a three-part series by Advertiser Government Writer Douglas Boswell.
