Two university students were killed and an Australian major and seven women were wounded. Three of the women were reported in serious condition.

75 Coop.ivi Bluff: 1:101 9:39 PREPARATION By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) When President Nixon goes abroad Sunday he will follow a route prepared by some 70 advance men and thousands of foreign policemen whose chief worry will ho student demonstrators and--as a Scolland Yord official put odd man out." Despite massive security pre- cautions, timing and logistics will play a major role in Nixon's initial and possibly crucial con- tacts with leaders in Great. Brit- ain. France, West Germany, Belgium and Italy. Advance Men Detailed trip planning actual- ly began Feb. 8 when the 70 ad- vance men left Washington for Kuropc aboard Air Force One, the presidential jet.

Led by White House counsel John D. Erlichman, the contingent in- cluded representatives of the State Department, National Se- curity Council, White House Communicalions Agency and the Sccrcl Service. At the controls was the qew presidential pilot, Lt. Col. Ralph D.

Alherlazzic. His job was lo follow the same route Nixon will follotv, practicing landings and taJceoffs at each airport along the way. F.rlichman's assignment was to make certain Nixon will see the people he wanl-s to see--in- eluding somo private citizens-- and such selected landmarks as the stark Berlin Wall. F.rlich- man acted as tho President's personal schedule maker. Robert Hodak of the National Security Council staff made the advance trip to lay the ground- work for the serious lalks Nixon will have with allied leaders.

The State Department official, John Thomas, went along to iron out administrative dclails, such as waiver of customs in- spections as the chief executive and his party move from coun- try lo counlry. Ray Zook of the White House Transportation Office was re- sponsible for finding hotel space, buses and autoj for the Long Hours Of Work Have Gone Into Nixon Trip presidential group. For the Bonn stop alone, Zook lined up rooms in 18 hotels. Tho mission of Timothy G. Elbmirne White House press assistant who was to smooth the pntli for some 200 reporters, photographers and television technicians who will he mem- bers of Nixon's traveling parly.

One of his smaller problem: To persuade Buckingham Pal- ace lo admit six American pho- tographers to record Nixon's meeting with Qurcn Elizabeth H. The British had thought two would be sufficient. Advance Route A I. each city along the ad- vance route, communications specialists and Secret Service agents peeled off to continue de- tailed planning. They will re- main at their lemporary posts milil after Nixon's relurn.

Among Ihe problems focing Hie Sccrcl Service advance men in preparing for threatened stu- dent demonstrations in London and West Berlin, but thousands of police and troops will be on duty in Bonn, Paris, and Rome, loo. Besides student demonstra- tors. American and European security men also arc concerned about individual fanatics. Scot- land Yard has sent a list of all potential Iroublemakers, includ- ing continental agitators, to im- migration officials. "Even if tha protests peter out into lunatic fringe things, there is still the odd man out who feels a grudge or imagines he is a deliverer.

Anyone can find a gun," said one Scotland Yard man. Constant Touch The communications men, re- sponsible for providing depend- able, spy-proof means of keen- ing in constant touch with Wash- ington, have been installing new equipment where necessary. Air Force One will be accom- panied by at least four other big jels. There will be an almost- identical "backup" plane, ready to speed him on his way should AFI develop mechanical prob- lem. There wUl be an Air Fores Starlifler transport to carry the now bubble-top, bullet-proof lim- ousine and the specially huill Sccrel Service "folloup" cars.

There also will be Iwo commer- cial airliners that have been chartered to carry the press. Members of Ihe news contingent have been told they can expect lo pay as much as $3.000 apiece for transportation. Past Practice If past practice prevails, and no one will say a word about it, Nixon's plane also will be fol- lowed by a big Air Force jet equipped as a flying communi- cations center. It also is quite probable that U.S. jet fighters will be within easy reach as Air Force One navigates the 20- mile-wide corridors lo and from West Berlin.

Another normal precaution on presidential flights overseas: Navy ships are deployed at in- tervals across the ocean to in- sure a speedy rescue effort should the Nixon plane make a watery landing. While in Europe Nixon will make a number of helicoplcr flights. For these his own jet- powered chopper has been car- ried across the sen aboard a Navy ship. Is there a price tag for the en- tire undertaking? "We haven't even thought about that," said one of the busy planners..
