In Berkeley Heights, N.J., the mother of the victim, Mrs. Jo seph Kopechne, came out onto a neighbor's front porch after the broadcast to say in a halting voice I am satisfied with the senator's statement and do hope he decides to stay in the Senate." Kennedy's fellow Democrats hailed the speech. Republicans were generally silent. Until the accident, Kennedy, the No.

First Explanation Kennedy's speech was his first explanation beyond a brief state ment to police last Saturday. It still left unanswered these key questions: Why Kennedy was on the dirt road leading to the narrow wooden bridge where his car plunged into a salt-water inlet? The senator told police he made a wrong turn driving Miss Ko pechne to the island ferry after a reunion party. At a T-intersec- tion, the only paved road on the island turns left toward the ferry and is marked with an arrow; the dirt road goes right. In the television speech, he made no mention at all of the turn.

Kennedy said: "There is no truth, no truth whatever to the widely circulated suspicions of immoral conduct that have been leveled at my behavior and hers regarding that evening. There has never been a private relationship between us of any kind." The senator told of a feeling of death when his car plunged off the narrow wooden bridge into the island inlet where his passenger died. "Struggled To Surface" "I remember thinking that as the cold water rushed in around my head that I was for certain drowning. Then water entered my lungs and I actually felt the sensation of drowning. But somehow I struggled to the surface alive." He said he dove to try to rescue Miss Kopechne, then went back to the cottage and asked Gargan and Markham to help him try again to locate her underwater.

Exhausted and confused, he said, "I had them take me to the ferry crossing, the ferry having shut down for the night. I suddenly jumped into the water and impulsively swam across, nearly drowning once again in the ef fort." 250 Yards Wide The salt-water channel between Chappaquiddick and the village of Edgartown on the adjoining resort island of Martha's Vineyard off Cape Cod is about 250 yards wide at its narrowest point. Kennedy said he returned to his hotel in Edgartown about 2 A.M. and collapsed in his room. The next morning, he went back to Chappaquiddick Island and called an attorney before returning to see the village police.

There was no explanation of what happened to Gargan and Markham after Kennedy plunged into the water. One secretary has said Gargan drove back toward the cottage around 9 or 9.30 A.M. to pick up the last of the girls and take them to the ferry. Shortly afterwards, Kennedy appeared at the police station. Hyannis Port.

Mass. iV-Sena tor. Edward M. Kennedy, in his adders sto the nation explaining bis role in a fatal automobile accident, drew upon the words late President John F. Kennedy.

Wjthout mentioning the assas sinatsd President's name, the last Kennedy brother quoted almost word-for-word from the concluding sentences of John Kennedy's "Profiles in Cour an award-winning history ot-ynrtely heroism in congres sional crisis. r'C Kenndy Quote Senator Kennedy said: Jilt: has been written a man dqeswhat he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite obstacles, and dangers and pressures, and that is the basis of; ajf human morality. whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows hisl-cbnscience the ldss of his friends, his contentment, even the" esteem of his fellow men- each man must decide for him self the course he will follow "The stories of past courage cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul." Book Not Identified words were the last sentence of the late President's book, which the senator did not identify by any reference. Kennedy's remarks came near the end of his speech as he an Pounced he was considering resignation from the Senate if the public had lost confidence in- him because of the accident in which Mary Jo Kopechne, a former secretary of his late brother, Robert F.

Kennedy, was killed. Kennedy added: "I pray that I can have the courage to make the right decision."

Stennis Miss.) faced each other on the Senats floor the two Southerners for the tense moment personifying the conflict in the anti-ballistic missile controversy.

"For 25 years," Fulbright contended, "this Senate has never challenged anything that the military establishment has ever asked for of any consequence." "He said the Senate is going to submit to the military hierarchy," Stennis replied. "No on should come here and imputa bad motives, sinister influence, and go unchallenged." Confrontation The confrontation between Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Stennis, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, came Fri day at the end of three weeks of ABM debate. The Senate is still split down the middle, even on whether to start voting. Safeguard opponents now talk of resuming the offensive with fresh secret information they say shows the ABM's radars could be knocked out by radia tion in a nuclear attack. Meanwhile, Fulbright and oth ers insist that any vote should be delayed until President Nixon returns in a week from his trip to Asia and Romania.

Tower Speaks On the Senate floor Senator John G. Tower Texas) pro- Safeguard, said, "I believe I can say with certainty the administration won't mind if we vote while the President is absent." "I personally will not agree to a vote until he returns," said Fulbright. "This is all new, this concern about the President, totally. new," btennis commented. "This is the first time in 25 years there has been a serious debate on a major item in the defense budget," Fulbright re-plied, noting of the three-weeic debate: "I don't think that's very long." Cites Opposition If is significant, Fulbright went on, that many of the Sen; ate's freshmen, those closest to the people since they were just elected last year, are against the ABM.

This indicates they "are not interested in being stooges of the military." Up jumped Stennis, visibily offended, demanding an apoligy. "I overspoke myself" by using the word stooge, Fulbright con ceded. Then he said in many states, defense contractors are the largest employers, "it's the kind of country we have." LearyOn Bail In Drowning Los Angeles W-Dr. Timothy Leary, the leading exponent of LSD, is free today after arrest by police on a warrant issued in the drowning of a young girl on his Riverside County ranch. The 49-year-old former Har.

He is to be arraigned in Riverside Municipal Court Thursday.

He said he was confused and in shock. Kennedy said they took him to the ferry landing and he suddenly jumped into the water to begin swimming, al most drowning in the crossing.

Did Gargan and Markham watch his struggle without telephoning authorities for help? Or, if they had left and were unaware of the swim, weren't they concerned about where the trou bled Kennedy had gone? Why did they take no apparent action that would have summoned officials? Gargan, who is Kennedy's- cousin, and Markham could not be reached for comment. Support Swells The senator addressed his possibility of resignation to Massachusetts voters only, asking their advice on whether he should ntay in office. But there was no doubt that he was being judged also by the people of the nation, and his future hung in the balance. In Massachusetts, the support swelled. Switchboards at newspapers and television stations were deluged.

The small West ern Union office at nearby Hyan nis was swamped. In Boston, an editor said, "They're calling by the millions. They're overwhelmingly in favor of him staying." Kennedy said the question of his resignation had been prompted by the whispers that surrounded the accident. He said if the Massachusetts voters with or without justificationhad lost confidence in hirfi, he should not continue in office. He asked the advice and the prayers of the voters.

But he said, "This is a decision that I will have finally to make on my own." Kennedy did not say when he would make it. Few expected him to resign. But the impact on his future as a possible presidential candidate was another unanswered question. The first real test could come next year when Kennedy is due to face re-election. Republicans, who had been expected to offer only a token opponent, may make a serious try row.

"Proved Himself Coward'' "I definitely think this has hurt his political career. I think the man has nroved himself a coward. I just can't imagine him leaving the scene, said Mrs. Barbara Golz, Dallas housewife. Trudi Guberlet, Seattle housewife, said.

"I think his nine- hour period of confusion stemmed from just too many tragedies, each one following the next. In San Francisco, Pat Lotts, a secretary, said, "I don't think he should resign. I was sur prised he was even thinking about it. He didn do anything really bad." However, in Baltimore, the switchboard at a television station counted its calls 38-4 in favor of Kennedy's resignation. Feel "An Insult" In Mount Healthy, Ohio, Mrs.
