Here why lamb chops cost so much 2 A 1 Associated Prist WASHINGTON One reason lamb chops are so expensive is that coyotes have been eating their fill before consumers have a chance at them, according to an Agriculture Department survey. The department said yesterday that coyotes killed 735,000 lambs last year, about 8 per cent of those born in 15 western states. In addition, coyotes killed 23,000 mature breeding sheep in western flocks, 2.5 per cent of the total. The report, compiled by USDA's Economic Research Service, is preliminary and did not include dollar values of the losses. Richard Magleby, who wrote the report, said further details would be included when a final analysis is made next year.

Lamb losses were tabulated on the basis of reports from 9,000 sheep producers surveyed last January. Magleby said it was the first time that USDA has attempted to list specific causes of sheep losses on so large a scale. The study was authorized by Congress and is related to a controversy over the use of poisons to-control coyotes and other predators, primarily on western ranges where those threats and most of the sheep prevail. Three years ago the government began steps which resulted in a total ban on various control measures, including spring-loaded poison guns, bait and other methods used by stockmen for many years. The ban, adopted largely because of pressure from wildlife and conservation groups, caused storms of protests from producers that they were being literally eaten out of business.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently eased restrictions to permit the use of the so-called M-44 sodium cyanide gun by qualified people to help control coyotes. Total Iamb losses from all causes last year in the 15 states were estimated at more than two million, nearly one-fourth of all lambs born in those states in 1974, the report said.

Referring to the May, 1974 shootout in which -six SLA members were killed in Los Angeles, de Antonio said: "I don't think they (Weather Underground) would have picked up the gun as the SLA did and sought out a direct confrontation I mean prior to the end."

Ford denies he'd help NY The New York TimeSNow Strvie WASHINGTON President Ford, warning against "the false anticipation of an easy solution," said through his spokesman that he was "irritated" by published accounts of his willingness to sign legislation easing New York City's fiscal plight. "I never told anybody that," Ford was quoted by Ron Nessen, the White House press secretary.

Nessen relayed the President's remarks to reporters yesterday morning, following accounts earlier this week in The New York Times and other publications that quoted unnamed senior administration officials as having said Ford would reluctantly sign a measure imposing stringent restrictions on federal assistance to the city. a The White House also issued a denial by Treasury Secretary William Simon, at a report yesterday in the Long Island Press and other Newhouse newspapers that Simon had told Republican members of the New York congressional delegation that the President would approve "any reasonable bill." For all that, the White House did not flatly rule out the possibility that Ford would ultimately go along with legislation to help res-, cue New York City if a measure could survive opposition on Capitol HilL Official lotteries The following numbers were drawn yesterday in various states' legal lotteries: New Jersey: 84751.

George said Nixon had invited him to San Clemente after he wrote a column defend ing the former President. He said he found Nixon "vibrant and vital" and interested in doing a commentary program such as that by Ronald Reagan, the former California governor, which has hundreds of radio stations as subscribers.

"This Watergate thing was ridiculous," said Nixon, bringing up the subject himself according to George, and added that it was ''a stupid mistake" but "nothing like the press made it out to be."

"They travel as we do.

They organize," said Emile de Antonio, who directed the film about leaders of the violently radical group. "They see themselves primarily as organizers and they live among people," de Antonio said yesterday. Nevertheless, de Antonio said, the Weather Underground took elaborate security precautions in the planning and filming of the soon-to-be-released documentary earlier this year. "We had one of our secret meetings the day Phnom Penh de Antonio said. "We ate in a public restaurant and drank a bottle of win to celebrate." The director said he had told "certain young people" of his to do a documentary with the Weather Underground's participation, was put in touch with the group's members through interme-: diaries and spent three days filming five of them last spring.

De Antonio said the film features Bernardine Dohrn, Jeffrey Jones, Kathie Boudin, William Ayers and Cathlyn Wilkerson. Miss Dohrn, once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, and the others are among more than 20 Weather Underground members sought on various federal warrants. The Weather Underground, called Weatherman when its mem- bers broke off from militant Students for a Democratic Society in 1969, has claimed responsibility for 26 bombings, the latest in Salt Lake City last summer. Their faces will -not be shown In the film, expected to be released by the end of November, de Antonio said. The director said that he and the other two filmmakers produced the documentary Mary Lampson and cameraman Haskell Wexler removed "every frame from the original and from the print that would reveal anything that would.be of use to the police." 4 The filmmakers also edited out slips of the tongue that they felt could endanger the Weatherpeople, de Antonio said.

At one point, Miss Boudin had been filmed talking in Spanish to persons standing in an unemployment line in Los Angeles, the director said. They also visited a hospital whose workers were on strike. "Everybody felt good about that because there aren't policemen in unemployment lines. But then they (Weather Underground members) pressed to go to Martin Luther King' Hospital, which was really a mistake because you don't ever go where there are a great number of police," de Antonio said. De Antonio said the Symbionese Liberation Army, which kidnaped Patricia Hearst in February, 1974, also was discussed in the documentary.

He said there was "a very clear inference that this is not what they (Weather Underground) would Austrian police hunt envoy's slayer neuters News Service VIENNA Austrian police today searched for the gunman who killed Turkish ambassador Danis Tunaligil as he sat in his embassy office here yesterday.

He said they thought federal officials would find the reported assas- sination plot spurious. He said Mike apparently felt the same way. Mayo said his son is the kind of person who always picks up hitchhikers "kind of a loner, but when he would make a friend of someone, he'd be a friend forever." He said Mike is gullible and probably could best be described in the words of a neighbor: e's like a great big St.

These words ranR near or at the bottom of Chinese diplomatic cordiality, but were almost Identical to he words of the joint communique issued when Kissinger visited here last November. Kissinger, who looked somber, stated that he was "satisfied" with the exchangss, indicating that he was alert to the dangers of Moscow but nevertheless would continue his policy of detente.

American diplomats said that as the exchanges moved from area to area, particularly on Western Europe and Soviet-American nuclear arms limitation talks, the Chinese criticized American policy without offering any alternatives. Another major topic was Korea. The Chinese repeated their position that the United States should withdraw its troops from South Korea and engage in direct talks with the Pyongyang regime. Kissinger was said to have answered that the United States would remove its troops only after an armistice, and that he would negotiate this matter only along with the Seoul regime. boring of Patty in a Pennsylvania farmhouse last year.

U.S. District Court Judge R. Dixon Herman warned sports activist Jack Scott's wife, Micki, 31, and Martin Miller, 28, that "failure to answer will put you in jeopardy of contempt." In another development, police said guns found in the last hideouts of Patty and her SLA companions, William and Emily Harris, were not the weapons used to kill a Los Angeles police officer, a Union City police chief or a San Francisco prison reformer. LBJ may have known about mail spying Reuters Newt Service WASHINGTON Former Presi-dent Lyndon Johnson might have known that the Central Intelligence Agency illegally opened the private mail of Americans, but apparently did not halt the practice, Senate investigators have been told. Former CIA Director Richard Helms told the Senate Intelligence Committee at a public hearing yesterday he believes he discussed the project with the late president in 1967 three years before it was stopped.

But he said he had no written record of having advised the president on the program. His testimony provided the first public statement about presidential knowledge of the CIA's controversial project, and directly contrasted with a report of the Rockefeller Commission into the CIA that said it found no proof that Johnson knew of it. Helms' testimony also came amid a disclosure that CIA agents in New York opened more than 200,000 private letters including those of prominent Americans during a 20-year period. The-committee was also told by two former senior CIA officials yes- terday that they urged the project be terminated after an internal investigation disclosed that it yielded information of little value. ing you an answer.

U.S. intelligence reports say Pan ama already has tried unsuccessful ly to buy rifles, mortars and plastic explosives from Israel for the Panamanian National Guard, now equipped with U.S.-supplied weapons. Senior officers of Panama's na- tional guard, its only military force, were said to nave visited turope last summer to explore possible sources for weapons there. No European countries were named in U.S. intelligence reports.
