failure to keep up with Soviet arms improvements permitted under the i e-year interim agreement signed in Moscow. This would bring U.S. weap ons inferiority to the Soviets by the late 1970s, he contended, and that would be "an open invitation for more instability in the world" and possibly encourage Soviet aggression in the Middle East. Laird told senators he hopes the Trident submarine, Bl bomber and other new systemsafter giving the Soviets incentive to renegotiate a per- a offensive-weapons curb could be among the weapons bargained away or limited. The weapons bill already has been cut a net $582.4 million as a result of the Moscow accords, with a cut from the Safeguard antimissile system offset with a $110-million increase for offensive-weapons systems other than the Trident and Bl bomber.

Leggett's amendments would cut Nixon's $977-million request for Trident to $277 million to return it to last year's development schedule; cut Safeguard another $350 million, leaving $186 million research-and-devel-opment money for it; and cut all $140 million for a tighter radar defense around U.S. missile fields.

But although their amend ments promised Congress' first debate on U.S. arms policy un der the Moscow arms-limitation agreements, Nixon's House op ponents did not expect to win any cuts in the arguments today or in voting Tuesday and Wednesday. The amendments would cut all or most of the President's requests for the new guided mis-s i 1 submarine, advanced Bl bomber and antimissile sys- from the weapons-authorization bill before theouse. "Do we build up to the limit of the agreements?" asked Rep. Robert L.

Leggett, in a report on some of the proposed cuts, "or do we take the President and Soviet party leader Leonid Brezhnev at their words that they agree the arms race should stop?" But Nixon and Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird told Congress last week its rejection of the new weapons would leop- ardize U.S. security and destroy Soviet incentive for negotiating DALTON, Ga. (AP) On a shed behind a yellow mobile home in Dalton are written the words, "Love and Peace." But love and peace were absent early Sunday morning when eight young persons were partying at the house trailer. Now three 4 them are dead, two others are wounded and another, a 23-year-old Vietnam veteran, has been charged with murder.

Whitfield County Deputy' Far- rell Carter said Jerry Wade Hul- sey, a "good friend of one of those killed, has been charged with murder in the shooting Chess Champ Is Particular NEW YORK (AP) A friend of Bobby Fischer, America's challenger for the world chess championship, says Fischer wants "everything perfect" for his match against Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. And the type of lighting proposed under a six-figure television contract is not so perfect, according to the friend, Fred Cramer, past president of the U.S. Chess Federation. "Fischer won't play inder anything but flourescent lighting it is very important to him," Cramer said Sunday night before flying to Reykjavik, Iceland, where the 24-game match is to begin next Sunday. The television people, Cramer said, have "insisted" they must use additional incandescent or tungsten-halogen lighting because flourescent lighting does not have the "proper color spectrum for color film." Fischer was to have flown with Cramer but cancelled his flight without explanation at the last minute.

Col. Edmund W. Edmondson, head of the U.S. Chess Feder ation, said, however, there was no reason to believe the unpre dictable Fischer would fail to appear for the match. Fischers whereabouts was not disclosed, but Cramer said he was "not far away." SALT AIR deaths of James Norman Large, 23, Steve Wayne McClure, 18, and his sister, Sherrie, 17.

Auto Crashes Kill 3 Kansans Associated Press At least three persons died in traffic accidents over the weekend in Two Newton, women were killed in a fiery-crash between a truck and two cars Friday night on U.S.

The women were trapped in their car after the crash. A 76-year-old Oswego, woman, Verna C.

A 12-foot concrete dike, built in 1946 over the objections of families who lost their views of the quiet Susquehanna, made the difference. Fed by drenching rains from Tropical Storm Agnes, the Sus. quehanna rose steadily for three days last week and then crested at 34 feet at noon on Saturday. Ripples on the surface of the river licked at the top of the dike. Sunbury had fought the Sus quehanna for four days and won by two inches.

By the time the crest came, nearly 10,000 persons, three- quarters of the city's population, had been evacuated from their homes, including those which line Sunbury's eight riverfront blocks. A thousand others were com mitted to a watch on the dike. Volunteers propped tons of dirty shale against a point where someone thought the dike had bowed to the relentless pressure of the water. They piled sandbags where the wind pushed an occasional splash over the top of the barrier. By 1 p.m.

on Saturday, the river had dropped an inch. On Sunday, it was three feet lower, and the evacuees returned to their homes. Not in leisure, because four days of rain had filled their basements with water. Not wholly in triumph, be cause Shamokin Creek had sub merged Sunbury's water plant and taps were dry. But Sunbury's residents had something to return to, and for that they were grateful.

"When all this is over, we're all going to march downtown and kiss that wall," said a fire-in a clearing debris from Shamokin Creek. 'It's been good to us." Runaway Steam Roller Gives Napper a Shock SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) A steam roller smashed through the wall of a house here and shoved a couch on which a woman was sleeping several feet before stopping, authorities say. Tlie slumbering woman, Mrs. Connie Guzman, was uninjured, sheriff's deputies said Sunday.

The four-room house was heavily damaged, but no dollar estimate was available, they said. Two youths started the steam roller with a key they found, then jumped as it rumbled about 100 yards across a street toward the house, deputies said. The youths were apprehended and released to their parents.

(AP) Elght days ago, this city dedicated a sparkling new marina, a $1.5 million gift from the state on Sunbury's 200th anniversary. A week later, the shiny aluminum docks, washed into a railroad bridge a mile down the flooding Susquehanna River. They rocked in the current and scratched an eerie rhythm that rang through the city's evacuated streets.

At the eastern end of the city, two miles away, Shamokin Creek destroyed an animal hospital, ripped homes from their foundations and took the lives of two persons.

Investigators are now checking the Insurance polices of the passengers, who included 16 Americans. The informants said all other possibilities have been virtually eliminated, and collision, weather and any type of military activity have been ruled out completely. The "investigation is concentrating on one strong probability, and that is that a bomb exploded aboard the aircraft," one source said.

The four-engine Convair was on a flight from Singapore and Bangkok to Hong Kong when it crashed about 200 miles northeast of Saigon, killing the 71 passengers and 10 crew members. The sources said the plane broke into three main partsthe tail, midsection and nose section, and that the explosion is believed to have occurred in the middle part, which carried the passengers. They said the investigators are advancing two reasons for the bomb theory. One is that the Convair's airframe is regarded as one of the strongest ever built, and there is no record of one ever experiencing a failure in flight. The other is that there was no indication of trouble between the pilot's last radio message and the crash three utes later.

Cathay Pacific officials re fused to comment on the bomb theory or on any other aspect of the probe, which is under the control of South Vietnamese authorities. Public Approval For Nixon's Acts PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) President Nixon's performance in office appears to have the approval of a majority of Americans, according to a Gallup Poll. The results of the survey were released Sunday and showed that 60 per cent of those interviewed said they approved of the President's actions. Thirty-two per cent said they disapproved, and the remaining eight per cent indicated they had no opinion.

The survey was conducted between June 16 and 19. According to a Gallup spokesman, the statistics were obtained through interviews with 1,500 persons in 300 communities across the nation. A similar survey was conducted in late May at the end of Nixon's talks with Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet party leader. It showed the President's popularity at 61 per cent, his highest rating in almost two years.
