Democrats Pick Bonetti To Run TORRINGTON Democrats in the 65th Assembly District, by a vote of 1,598 to 1,470 Wed nesday nominated State Rep. Addo E. Bonetti over State Rep, John A. to run against Republican chal lenger Edwin "Ted' Chadwick in Tuesday election.

The Wednesday primary was ordered by state Superior Court Judge George Saden last week after he ruled invalid the results of an Oct. 16 primary. Bonetti appealed Miscikoski's one-vote Oct. 16 victory on the grounds that a Republican illegally had been allowed to vote. Bonetti was elected three times to represent the old 175th Assembly District.

Miscikoski was elected seven times to represent the old 174th District. Reapportionment this year put both in the same newly created district and forced them to enter a primary against each other for the nomination. A. Saden today will decide if the buses will continue running in Hartford, New Haven and Stam ford. The Connecticut the state's largest bus line with about 75,000 daily passengers in the three cities, is now operat ing under a temporary iniunc- iton obtained by Hartford offi cials.

In addition ta a hearing on that matter, Judge Saden will consider the company's applica tion for a court order (a writ ot mandamus) which would re- auire the state Transportation Department to act to preserve bus service. Whatever the outcome of the court hearings, the state Department of Transportation and the Greater Hartford Transit District are continuing their ne- gotations for a long-term solu tion to the bus crisis. State Transportation Commis sinner A. Earl Wood is consider- ins a new proposal from the dis trict representatives. That pro posal would require the state to pick up a greater share oi tne cost of a subsidy than it had previously offered.

State's Oifer The state had offered to pay 25 per cent of any subsidy in curred by a transit district, but officials from most towns in the Hartford area district felt that offer is too low. ThA Hftails of the proposal hav not been disclosed and an other meeting will be set up in the next lew days, possmiy wis afternoon or roaay. In mitrt todav. ILarUom LOT" nnr tion Counsel Alexander floldfarb is expected to argue that the Connecticut Co. cannot unilaterally discontinue bus ser vice while it holds irancnises to run the buses.

The bus firm has said that it cannot be forced to continue op-eratinff and lose money.

The bill was passed in a special session in September.

Other charges brought by the state administration are pending before the National Labor Relations Board. The state claims that the company and the union have failed to bargain collectively for a new labor contract because of the company's insistence on a public subsidy. State Labor Commissioner Jack A.

5 Cuban Response On 4 Hijackers Discourages U5. WASHINGTON (UPI) -The State Department said Wednes day it is not encouraged by Cuba's initial response to its request1 for the return of four airplane hijackers who left a trail of death on their way to Havana. Spokesman Charles W. Bray said Cuba's formal reply to Washington's informal request raised "some questions which we are now pondering." But he said we do not draw any initial encouragement from the reply." The note from Havana reportedly said the four hijack ers two of them accused of murdering a policeman and a bank official during an attempted holdup in Arlington, last week were under arrest. The pirates also killed an airline clerk in Houston before taking an Eastern jet and its passengers to Havana Sunday.

Meskill said also that he will request that lottery ticket licenses be lifted from any of the shops in question which may have sold the tickets.

31 date for signing the Vietnam peace agreement, and warned that any attempt to alter the text that Henry Kissinger and the Communists worked out "word by word" in Paris would end chances for a cease-fire. South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu said the proposal is "a peace solution that offers South Vietnam on a plate to the Communists." Thieu called for "serious" negotiations with the Communists anywhere in the world. In a broadcast monitored in Saigon, Radio Hanoi said "unless the United States ends its procrastinating attitude and refrains from asking for the alterations of the points agreed upon, the agreement can never be signed to end the war and restore peace in Vietnam." An earlier broadcast claimed that "in his Oct. 20 message to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam government's premier, President Nixon asserted that the text of the agreement could be considered as being complete, and he proposed that Oct. 31 would be the signing day.

This was clearly written on paper. How can the U.S. side swallow its commitment?" Kissinger, Statement Kissinger, in his Oct 28 Washington news conference said: 'The North Vietnamese negotiators made their proposal conditional on the solution of the problem by Oct. 31, and they constantly insisted that we give some commitment that we would settle the war and complete the negotiations by Oct 31.

The Minneapolis industrialist said he endorsed the check on the back but knew nothing of any notarization of his signature by Barker. Aide Unaware Dahlberg said he was not aware Barker had cashed the check April 20 at the Republic National Bank in Miami Asked by Goodhart if he knew how the check got into Barker's hands, Dahlberg answered: "I have no knowledge of the disposition or ex penditure of the money." Democratic party officials and Dade County state attorney Richard Gerstein contend the $25,000 was part of $114,000 in GOP campaign contributions used to finance the Watergate break-in. Barker, 55, was arrested inside the Watergate complex along with Frank R. Sturgis, Virgilio R.

Conviction Ends GOP Check Case Amnesty Change By Nixon Denied WASHINGTON (AP) Pres ident Nixon's position on amnesty has been consistent, the White House said Wednesday as it rejected Sen. George McGovern's assertions of a presidential "flipflop" on the campaign issue. Press secretary Ronald Zicg- ler's statement on the President's amnesty views came after Nixon delivered another of his series of paid political broadcasts this one on urban affairs and disclosed further plans for a six-state, two-day burst of campaigning the week end before the election.

HFTSeeks Limit on Class Sizes By LAURENCE COHEN The Hartford Federation of Teachers (HFT) is seeking a strict limitation on class size and an estimated 8 per cent "cost of living" increase in their new contract, according to a confidential memorandum sent to Hartford Board of Education members Wednesday. If the school administration's 8 per cent estimate is correct, the "cost of living" salary boost would be the lowest initial demand from the teachers since collective bargaining began in Hartfordln 1965. The memorandum, written by Neil Macy, administrator for Mnnlover-emnlove relations, re ports that the HFT has asked for a class limit of 23 students in grades kindergarten through four, and a limit of Z6 students in grades five through 12.

Liddy is one of seven Watergate defendants. Dahlberg testified that he picked up $25,000 in campaign contributions while at a Bal Harbor, golf course and used the money April 10 to purchase a cashier's check in the same amount from a Boca Raton bank.
