BOLANG HELSINKI, Finland Soviet pressure for Soviet- Finnish consultations on joint defense viewed gravely by the Finns today. A source close to Finland's policy has been "to avoid, if sible, an agreement with the Russian view that there really exists an immediate threat war in the Baltic area." "However," he said, "it now looks as if we have been driven into a one-way street." The Soviet prod took the form of a declaration by First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov to Finnish Ambassador Euro A. Wuori in Moscow Thursday. Kuznetsov said "alarming news'" made a threat oh' West German aggression even worse than on Oct.

The news he cited came under three headings: 1. The visit of West German Defense Minister Franz Joseph Strauss to Norway, like West Germany a member of the North Atlantic alliance, and his talks there on military cooperation. 2.

Adlai E. Stevenson, divorced, was the last presidential candidate to buck this trend. He lost twice to 1952 and 1956. Nobody claims the divorce was the principal view of Eiswihower's widespread it didn't help. The idea of a sister rather than a wife and mother as "the First Lady" was not a vote-getting proposition.

(AP) The embattled Rowdy, a 60-foot yacht that survived 12 hours of pelting by huge Lake Erie waves and severe winds, will continue on its way shortly, its owner says. "We hope to be under way in a couple of days, as soon as the carpenters can get to work on it," said yacht owner and skipper Aurelian F. Wigle Friday after the boat was towed 45 miles to shore.

It is now docked in the Buffalo River. Damage to the yacht, which was based in Detroit and bound for Florida- with four persons aboard, was only about $150, Wigle said. The Rowdy's troubles began early Thursday morning, when its auxiliary sir-cylinder gasoline engine failed. The 45-year-old sloop was under sail about 9 p.m. Thursday night, Wigle said, when the Lake Erie gale forced him to drop anchor.

When the anchor began dragging moments later, Wigle radioed for help. "I never thought we would sink, but it was pretty unpleasant out there," he said. His mother, Mrs. Norma Wigle, 68, said "we were walking around in two feet of water in the cabin all the time.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk displayed administration readiness at a news conference Friday to try to come to terms with German views on Berlin issues during Adenauer's visit here. The West German chancellor and President Kennedy will open talks Monday.

Rusk declared the Communist wall sealing off East Berlin from West Berlin "certainly ought not to be a permanent feature of the European landscape." He branded the wall as a "monument to Communist failure in East Berlin and East Germany." Rusk stopped short of as Adenauer said earlier this removal of the wall must be a condition of any Berlin agreement with Russia. Authorities here see little prospect the Soviets will even consider tearing the wall down. Rusk also said on another point publicly raised by Adenauer that the United States still stands by its offer to supply the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with a fleet of nuclear-missile Polaris submarines. They would operate under NATO command and could be used by NATO decisions. On other issues, Rusk said in response to reporters' questions: 1.

The "determined and ruthless campaign" of Communist North Viet Nam to destroy pro-Western Soviet Viet Nam and subjugate it to Red rule is "a threat to the peace." Rusk said the problem might go to the United Nations "at some stage." 2. The main effort of the United States in defense of South Viet Nam at present is to speed up deliveries of military supplies svith "some changes in the type of equipment delivered and in the nature of our training." 3.

The President fondly recalled Rayburn's decades of servioe Friday night at a banquet in which he also paid high tribute to another congressional veteran, 84 year-old Sen. Carl Hayden, D- Ariz. An of 1,000, who paid $100 a plate to mark Hayden's half century in Congress, heard Kennedy praise the guest of honor as a senator of great wisdom and influence. Turning, as he almost always does in public appearances, to cold war problems, Kennedy also urged Americans to take pride in their nation's global burdens.

"Only the United States and our power and strength and commitments permit dozens of countries scattred all over the world to maintain their freedoms," Kennedy said. "And if we did not bear the heavy burdens we now bear, the United States would be isolated, with only a few of the countries of Western Europe to look to," he said. Others, Kennedy said, look to their own interests. Only the United States bears the kind of burden imposed by obligations stretching beyond the Atlantic and Pacific and to the south, he said. A day after the Soviet Union pleaded economic troubles in trying to block an increase in U.N.

Under both Democratic and Republican administrations, he said, the United States "really does the heavy work that makes it possible for these institutions to survive." ROCKET SUCCEEDS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) accelerated Minuteman test- firing program is on tap following the first successful launching of the missile from an underground silo. The 58-foot rocket, a weapon geared for the split-second demands of pushbutton war, darted from the 90-foot-deep pit Friday and raced 3,000 miles downrange.

Brig. Gen. Sam Phillips, the Minuteman program, director for the Air Force, reported the launching was "totally successful. It completely verifies our confidence in the Minuteman design." Confidence was shaken somewhat last August when the first underground launching attempt ended in he explosion of the Minuteman just after it cleared the hole. The success, however, put the Minuteman test program back on schedule and Phillips said the firings would be stepped up.

Harvey, survived the Fort Lauderdale charter boat's destruction as he had several other brushes with death in the air and afloat.

But he committed suicide Friday leaving a note that said: "I got too tired and nervous. I couldn't stand it any longer." Harvey said after being taken to Nassau Monday that the Bluebelle's mainmast snapped, yanked down the smaller mizzenmast, and tore holes through the deck. Then, he said, fire broke out and he had time only to launch a boat and a raft before the 60-foot ketch sank. With Harvey's death by razor slashes in a Miami motel, the Bluebelle tragedy's toll rose to six. The dead body of Terry Jo's sister, Renee, was in the boat in which Harvey was picked up Monday.
