Kalmbach, had control of a secret fund that may have contained as much as half a million dollars during the presidential campaign, the Washington Star-News said today.

The newspaper said the money was kept at a Newport Beach, bank and that it was used in part "for political spying and disruption," including payments to a Los Angeles attorney, Donald W. Segretti. Segretti previously was identified as an undercover operative during the Nixon campaign. The West Coast fund, the Star-News said, was kept in a hidden bank account at the Newport Beach branch of the Bank of America. The money was funneled into the account by cashier's checks bought with cash at a different Newport Beach bank, the Security Pacific National Bank, the newspaper said.

Related Story Page 10 There have been previous reports of Washington funds i during the Nixon campaign totaling $750,000 or more, with some of it being used for political surveillance activities, allegedly including the Watergate bugging case. The newspaper said "various sources" put the total amount that passed through the Newport Beach account as "anywhere from $200,000 to $500,000. It apparently was closed out, the Star-News said, early last year-well before the break-in of Democratic headquarters at the Watergate building in Washington June 17. The new disclosure came as: 1 The Washington Post said it was told by "'highly reliable sources in the executive branch" that Nixon was warned as early as last December that some former and present close associates, including John W. Dean III and John N.

Mitchell, "were probably deeply involved in both the illegal electronic surveillance (at the Watergate) and the cover-up" afterward. 2 The Watergate grand jury continued its investigation of the case today, with Dean, White House legal counsel, expected to appear either today or tomorrow. He has said he will not be a "scapegoat" in the affair. 3 Sen. Edward W.

Brooke, said he found it "inconceivable" that the President's subordinates would not have told him about the Watergate bugging plans. 4 White House sources indicated the President plans to announce the resignations of a number of key advisers, as a result of the Watergate investigation, possibly within a few days' time. Nixon was in seclusion today in the Bahamas, reportedly considering his plans. Among those reported possibly leaving is chief of staff H. R.

"Bob" Haldcman. 5 The New York Times said G.

Kissinger said today.

Kissinger, Nixon's national security adviser, said, "To maintain the military balance that has ensured stability in Europe for 25 years, the alliance has no choice but to reach an agreement on our defense requirements All governments of the Western alliance face a major challence in educating their peoples to the realities of security in the 1970s." Addressing annual luncheon meeting of the Associated Press, Kissinger said that in Nixon's forthcoming trips to European capitals, he will be covering with the leaders he meets the broad range of mutually concerned matters, from trade relations to Updating NATO defense policies. "The President has asked me to state that America remains committed to doing its fair share in Atlantic defense. "He is adamantly opposed to uni lateral withdrawals of U.S. forces from Europe.

Arabs Map Action In Mideast By United Press International Arab military leaders ended a two-day strategy session yesterday in Cairo and said they made some progress in mapping plans for "confronting the Israeli enemy." At the same time, Egypt announced it would build "popular resistance training camps" as part of President Anwar Sadat's campaign to mobilize all material and human resources in the country. The Egyptian chief of staff, Lt.

Gen. Saad Eddin Shazli, said after the strategy talks in Cairo that despite the "progress" achieved at the meeting, there was no success in attempts aimed at reviving the Jordanian front against Israel. Shazli said the Jordanian front, which collapsed when King Hussein expelled Palestinian guerrillas in September, 1970, "has not assumed satisfactory form yet, though more attempts will be made to revive it." Shazli said the meeting did not take up the April 10 Israeli commando raid on Beirut. "The conference cannot deal with particulars," he said, "but with the over-all method of confronting the Israeli enemy." Egyptian Foreign Minister Mo-hamed H. El-Zayyat said yesterday that his country was determined to "re-establish our territorial integrity." "I don't speak about military action," El-Zayyat said, "I speak about defense.

"The part that is not occupied until now (by the Israelis) we have to defend and the part which is occupied we also have to defend." Egypt's decision to train "resistance" fighters openly, as distinguished from regular army personnel, was reported yesterday in Cairo by the Middle East News Agency. It gave no details of the plan but said the decision was made by the cabinet under orders from Sadat. Sadat's government submitted a plan Saturday to Parliament calling for "full and complete" mobilization of all material and human resources. It called the current atmosphere in the Middle East "a phase of destiny, a phase of life or death." In other Middle East developments, the Italian newspaper II Messaggero said yesterday a new peace initiative is being formulated, based on the construction of a second Suez Canal. The paper said Italian leaders have been working privately for nine months to promote the plan.

There have been renewed moves in Congress seeking a sharp cut in the 300,000 U.S. troops in Europe following easing of international tension with the Vietnam cease-fire. Nixon has characterized 1973 as the "year of Europe" and plans to visit NATO capitals later this year.

Before that he will confer with visiting German Csancellor Willy Brandt and French President Georges Pompidou. Nixon already has conferred in Washington this year with British Prime Minister Edward Heath and Italian Premier Guiulio Andreotti. Besides these Western Leaders, Nixon is expected to discuss Soviet troop levels and possible mutual forces withdrawals when the Soviet Communist Party chief, Leonid Brezhnev, visits Washington, probably in June.

Grid Caps Back In Business Again BUSINESS BULLETINS Impact Cushions On Coast Routes By HUGH RUTLEDGE The purchase by the city of a financially plagued private nine-hole golf course was considered today at a caucus of Republican members of the City County Council. Officials of the Scenic View Country Club, 6601 Grandview Drive, have indicated they would sell the golf course for an estimated $700,000, according to council president Thomas C. Has-brook.

Hasbrook said council leaders and officials of the Department of Parks and Recreation toured the facility last Friday afternoon but "it's only in the talking stage and a lot of things would have to be worked out before it could be converted to a municipal golf course. Bond Issue? Funds for such a purchase probably would have to come from a bond issue or unused Federal revenue-sharing money, Hasbrook suggested. "Coming up with the money is the big question that would have to be answered before any negotiations could start," he added. Hasbrook said the large clubhouse and swimming pool probably would not be a part of any acquisition by the city. Only the existing golf pro shop would be needed for the course operation, he explained.

When the club first started in May, 1970, it was known as the Indianapolis Sportsman's Country Club. Before the end of that year it went into receivership. A few months later the predominantly black golf organization changed Us name to the present Scenic View Country Club. Later this evening the full council is expected to approve the appropriation of $200,000 for architectural and engineering plans for restoration of City Market. Lilly Endowment Inc.

A state spokesman said that in 1972 there were 38 crashes involving crash cushions and only one death, that occurring because of a fire following impact.
