The Reagan forces say they want Just two, one on foreign policy and defense and the other on domestic issues. They say they don't want Reagan to spend the entire campaign debating. At the White House, Carter attacked Reagan's position on women's issues at a Rose Garden ceremony marking the liOth anniversary of the ratification of the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. In Congress, meanwhile, Republicans announced plans to raise $8 million nearly double the previous goal to mount a television blitz to persuade voters to elect GOP candidates to Congress this fall.

duration of his campaign. The debate invitation arrived Tuesday morning. Carter accepted it Tuesday afternoon. "There was no reason to delay accepting," said White House press secretory Jody Powell. "It meets the needs." Powell said any speculation that the Carter-Mondale campaign angled for the invitation or in any way orchestrated it is incorrect.

There was hesitation in the Reagan-Bash campaign. A spokesman for the Republican presidential nominee said Reagan might make a decision today, however. Anderson denounced what he called "plans by the White House to cut me and my running mate out of these spoasorship, number, scope and format of any possible debates. Meanwhile, Carter has accepted the unanimous "very enthusiastic" endowment of the international executive board of the 1.4 million member United Auto Workers Union. Rank and file members make their wishes known next week.

Carter is preparing to make public on Thursday a $29 billion tax relief program that he hopes will create jobs and solidify his support by organized labor.

KNLTSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON i API President Carter hiis what he's been looking for -an invitation to meet Konald Reagan oiie-on-one in a nationally televised debate. Carter accepted the bid from the National Press Club within hours of arrival on Tuesday; Reagan is thinking about it, and independent candidate John Anderson is outraged.

White House officials said they hoped the press club debate would occur "as soon as possible," meaning the first half of September and prior to the Sept. 18 date set by the League of Women Voters for a showdown it says might also include Anderson. But Reagan and Carter remain sharnlv divided over the limine.

(APLaserphoto) 'Incalculable consequences' Anderson is far closer to Carter than to Reagan in his approach to relations ith the Soviet Union, China and other major powers. Yet he is insistently harsh in his criticism of Carter.

"If there is one word to describe the Carter administration's approach to foreign affairs, I would call it unilateralism, failure to take into account the views of our allies," Anderson said during a recent five-nation trip through the Middle Fast and Europe. "This is the go-it-alone approach that has characterized the administration's relations with its allies," he said.

Total spending authorization for these programs could reach $5 billion to $7 billion, but actual outlays in fiscal 1981 would be about $2 billion to $4 billion, these sources say. This will increase the projected fiscal 1981 deficit beyond $30 billion, far from the balanced budget proposed by Carter only last winter.

He condoned it Polish government issues veiled of Soviet intervention He argued that with an adequate system of verification it would be in both American and Soviet interests for the Senate to ratify the agreement and for the U.S. to go on to negotiate a third SALT pact. On the Middle East, Anderson believes Carter has created "an obstacle to peace" by pressuring the Israelis to pull back new settlements in the Sinai Desert On his trip to Israel, Anderson said he opposes a policy that says "peace can be pursued by pressure on Israel or by deliberately increasing tensions between Israel and American governments." Underlying Anderson's firm support of Israel is a belief that the country is a stable democracy and reliable ally, while most Arab states are dictatorships subject to rapid change of leadership and policy.

Hough, a close friend of Mountbatten who taped many hours' of conversations with him for the book, writes that she had several extramarital affairs and that they started shortly after her marriage to the Royal Navy officer and great-grandson of Queen Victoria. Her lovers included the popular black singer-pianist Islie Hutchinson, who as "Hutch" was a favorite of London socialites before World War II, Hough reported.

He recalled also that the Mountbattens sued a newspaper because it alleged she had an affair with black American singer Paul Robeson, and he said there was gossip about her and the Earl of Sefton. s' v--' warning By SISANNE SCIIAFER Associated Press Writer GDANSK. Poland AP) Poland's Communist regime, under growing pressure from striking workers, today issued a veiled warning of possible Soviet intervention and "incalculable consequences" if order is not restored. The threat came as the 14-day-old strike wave on the Baltic coast was reported to have spread to the giant Ursus tractor factory outside Warsaw and to industries in southern Poland. Estimates of the total strikers rose to more than 300,000.

In a front-page editorial in the Communist daily Trybuna Ludu, the regime reminded Poles that their country lies "in the direct sphere of security of the world Socialist power the Soviet Union. "We are a member of the defensive Warsaw Pact and we belong to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance," the East Bloc Common Market The commentary was entitled "Line of Partition," apparently reminding Poles that their country was carved up by Aastria, Russia and Prussia in 1796 and did not reappear until November 1918 at the end of World War I. "We. Poland, in our current system of i Conuiiuni.sti government, are one of the basic elements of peaceful order and stabilization in Europe," the commentary said.

as a dependable ally, they act only in their own interests, he said. As a former foreign service officer, Anderson says he would set a straight course and stick to it, avoiding Carter's "twists and turns of American foreign policy." Unlike many Republicans in' Congress, Anderson supported both the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty with the Soviets and the Panama Canal treaties that turned the waterway over to Panama. He also firmly supported Carter's decision to recognize communist China and suspend formal ties with the government of Taiwan. But he said he is troubled "that we do not have the kind of political leadership in this country" that can push through ratification of a SALT treaty "when to do so is so much in our own interest." Officials- (Continued from page 1) Department of Energy were there as observers, authorities said. Initially, reports had circulated that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was on the scene, but authorities later denied this.

A three-page extortion note left with the bomb in a casino office said it contained 1,000 pounds of TNT. Maple said today the bomb contained no timer, and that no deadline had been set by the extortionist. In a cryptic statement issued from a command post near the closed-down hotel and casino, List said the hotel "is making a request that the person providing instructions make contact again to provide a clarification message." But Hough says it made Jinnah so resentful of Nehru, his political rival, that this hardened his determination to force the partition of the Indian subcontinent and save the Moslem minority from domination by the Hindu majority. The British government acceded, and on Aug. 15, 1947, British India was divided into independent India and Pakistan.

More than 2 million persons were killed in the communal massacres that followed. Jinnah died in 1948, Nehru in 1964 and Lady Mountbatten in 1960. She was heiress Edwina Ashley, who inherited 7 million pounds or about $330 million in today's currency from her grandfather, banker Sir Ernest Love affair? Anderson: By MIKE SHANAHAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) John B. Anderson's foreign policy would combine a recognition of declining U.S. influence overseas, closer ties with American allies and a willingness to negotiate with the Soviets on arms control even while Moscow is attempting "to exploit whatever world trouble spots arise over the next decade." "We cannot let our arms control policies to be held hostage to headlines of Soviet bad behavior," the Illinois congressman has said.

More generally, the independent presidential candidate says, "I do not subscribe to the conventional policies and the conventional ways" of Ronald Reagan and President Carter. On foreign policy questions, This attempt to Isolate the coastal workers was a new element that angered the strikers. They rejected any geographically restricted settlement, reiterated their demand for free trade unions and threatened a nationwide general strike. New walkouts were reported at the Ursus tractor factory six miles southwest of the center of Warsaw; in Lodz, 80 miles south of the capital; Wroclaw, 195 miles southwest of Warsaw, and at factories in Rzeszow, in southeastern Poland, and in Olsztyn, in the northeast Broadcasts from Lodz, Poland's second-largest city with a population of 820,000, said many transport workers struck there.

IXJNDON (AP) A biography of Earl Mountbatten published today says the wife of the British war hero had a love affair with Indian leader Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 and that this was a factor in Moslem leader Mohammed Ali Jinnah's insistence on the partition of Inda.

Mountbatten, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army a year ago today at the age of 79, was the last British Viceroy of India at the time. Naval historian Richard Hough writes in the book "Mountbatten: Hero of Our Time" that he knew about the "close and serious" relationship between his wife and India's future prime minister and condoned it. sequences. "These factors include the place of our party in the political life of the Polish state as well as the basic structure of people's rule." Lech Badkowski, spokesman for the Inter-Factory Strike Committee, said talks in Gdansk Tuesday between a working group of five strike leaders and five government officials produced agreement on many "serious points" and were "very promising." He declined to give details, but said the government planned to contact the committee for more talks today. The government's chief negotiator, First Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski, went back to Warsaw to report to the Communist Party Politburo.

He was expected to return to Gdansk today. Jagielski held an often-noisy exchange Tuesday with a delegation of the strike committee at the V.I. Inin Shipyard in Gdansk, where the mass walkout began Aug. 14. Jagielski said in addition to the secret democratic election of trade union officials promised Sunday by Communist Party leader Edward Gierek Sunday, the revision of the labor laws would permit strikes in the industrial coastal region if all other means of solving disputes failed.

But he refused to budge on the workers' demand for independent labor unions free from government controls and said he was negotiating only for the Baltic industrial area, not other parts of the countrv. unhappy under the strict rules of the home, run by lister Roloff Enterprises, and of running away Tuesday night in order to return to their families. All of the girls had been placed at Bethesda by their parents and McKenzie told them that if their parents wanted them returned to Bethesda, he would have to send them back. After consulting with the girls' parents, McKenzie authorized the girls' release from jail late Tuesday afternoon and all but one of them were returned to Bethesda. The parents of one of the runaways, a 17-year-old girl from Missouri, arrived here early Tuesday afternoon, accompanied their daughter to Youth Court and took her home with them.

A spokesman for District Attorney Bud Holmes, who is out of town, said the incident of so many girls running away at the same time would be investigated by the DA's office. The runaways ranged in age from 12 to 17 years old. Miss Muason is survived by her mother, Mrs. Irene Walitslo of Lakewood, Colo. Her remains are being sent to lakewood, Colo, for services and burial.
