New Orleans Drenched NEW ORLEANS (AP) This sea-level city is a sodden city today, still reeling from a 9-inch deluge that flooded streets, washed away cars, shorted out telephone service and killed three persons. Police said two persons drowned and one man was electrocuted in a flood-related accident. The National Weather Service said couldn't tell exactly how much rain fell because its gauge flooded out.

Russian Leader In Bonn BONN, West Germany (AP) -Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev, his step slowed and age showing, arrived today on his first visit to the West in almost a year for four days of talks on detente and trade. The 71-year-old Kremlin leader was the first of the 150-member Soviet party to step down from his Ilyushin 62 jetliner.

A military aide lightly held Brezhnev's left arm as he lumbered down the gangway to be greeted by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and President Walter Scheel. Brezhnev's step appeared stiff as he and Scheel inspected the honor guard. But he seemed to perk up when he saw a group of women from the Soviet Embassy carrying small hammer-and-sickle flags. He shook hands with each one and joked with several. Brezhnev then was whisked off in a Mercedes limousine to Gymnich Palace, the official government guesthouse 20 miles from Bonn.

He was to begin his first round of talks with Schmidt later in the day. The Soviet leader's visit, originally scheduled for last September, had been repeatedly postponed for health reasons. His medical problems include an irregular heartbeat, and he reportedly wears a pacemaker. An estimated 10,000 police have been brought in to provide security for the visit. Many of them were expected to be on hand for an afternoon march by the League of Human Rights to protest the treatment of dissenters in the Soviet Union.

The largest recall reported Wednesday stems from a possible steering problem and extends to 1.2 million 1976, 1977 and 1978 Dodge Aspens and Plymouth Volares. "On a few cars, the front suspension pivot bar bracket may develop a fatigue failure primarily when subjected to heavy duty service," the nation's automaker said.
