When Martin J.

Hillenbrand presents his credentials at the Villa Hammerschmidt to Presi dent Gustav Heinemann, he will become something of an anom aly, an ambassador to Germany who came up from the ranks in the U.S. foreign serv ice. The ambassadorships to ma jor western capitals, such as Bonn, have generally been giv en to men with good connec tions to the White House, with expertise in foreign affairs being of secondary importance. Some, like Kenneth Rush, Mr. Hillenbrand's predecessor, had no expertise whatsoever, not even a rudimentary knowledge of the language.

A lawyer who worked his way up the corpo rate ladder to the presidency of Union Carbide, Mr. Rush was appointed ambassador to Bonn primarily because of bis private connections with President Nixon. In Mr. Rush's case, his exec- tual and Balanced Force Re duction. Embassv sources here who have worked for both Mr.

Rush and Mr. Hillenbrand give both men high marks. One top official said it was a case of going from "the best possible nonprofessional to the best possible professional" While there is built-in skepticism and even resentment toward the non-professional with in the diplomatic corps, most professionals will acknowledge that there is a place for the political appointee. During critical moments in the Berlin negotiations, for example, it was noted that Mr. Rush could and did pick up the telephone and got a decision directly from, the' President, providing his staff with oresi- dential support and increasing its How Mr.

Hillenbrand will fare in comparison no one can yet But it is generally expected that he will be more intimately involved in the details of running the Embassy. He was described as "a very precise detail man," who will demand greater precision, more memoranda and reports, in ence that the Cost of Living Council take action to control food prices Page Al Democratic platform writers split on the issue of busing fcut otherwise managed to agree on roughly, a third of a draft platform that pleased traditional Democrats but angered some of the more enthusiastic supporters of South Dakota's Senator McGovern Page Al J. Shapp failed to obtain sup MARTIN J. HILLENBRAND to be envoy to Germany ence within the official administration hierarchy. The reason for the switch from an amateur to a professional might be that President Nixon could not find a suitable replacement in the business community nor a big-name personality with experience in for- contrast to Mr.

Rush's" more casual, person-to-person approach. The contrast extends to physical appearence. Mr. Hillenbrand, 57, five years younger than his predecessor, is a spa rer man, with sharp, intensive features. His mannerisms are also more reserved, though they are said to mask a great warmth towards those with whom he works daily.

But the anticipated change in the personal styles of the ambassadors might well suit the change in U.S. German relations that is already beginning to take place. During the postwar years, there existed what one American official described as a "father-son" relationship between the two countries. But since then West Germany has developed into a major economic world power, and under Chancellor Willy Brandt is staking' out a more independent foreign, policy. Relations with Germany in the future, it is said, will be.

Boris Spassky and the American chal lenger, Bobby Fischer, in Reyk javik, Iceland, may be stale mated in a dispute over lighting. Fred Cramer, a past president of the United States Chess Fed eration, said last night.

Mr. Cramer said he did not i tne four-power negotiations aaing 10 me Benin Accords to a successful conclusion, and he returned to the United States in glory to become deputy defense secretary, a post with perhaps less glamour but with more demanding-administrative res-l ponsibilities. While Mr. Rush demonstrated that an amateur political appointee can handle delicate diplomatic negotiations, he is regarded as an exception, and there was a period of nervous hand-wringing here before his successor was named. There was a general sigh of relief when the job was given to Mr.

Hillenbrand, who, as the German press is quick to note, speaks fluent German and has an intimate knowledge of the country through previous service here. Mr. Hillenbrand perhaps falls short of German hopes in one respect. He does not have the personal relationship with President Nixon that Mr. Rush did.

But as former ambassador to Hungary and assistant secretary of state for European affairs, he is not without influ- losses in the raids Saturday. North Vietnam, claimed that two F-4 Phantoms were shot down north of Hanoi in Vinh Phu province. The northwest rail line runs through the province and the Thai Nguyen steel plant is just east of it. U.S. command policy is to withhold announcement of plane losses wiile search-and-rescue operations are in progress.

Navy raids In other raids Saturday, Navy fighter-bombers from the carrier Coral Sea attacked a series of targets south of Hanoi. Pilots reported destroying two large supply buildings at the Phu Ly transshipment point, 12 miles southeast of Hanoi, trig-1 gering explosions and fires with heavy black smoke rising to 1,000 feet. Ten secondary explosions were reported by Navy pilots after they hit a fuel depot 50 miles southeast of Hanoi. A raid on a transshipment point 30 miles south of Hanoi set off eight big sustained fires, pilots reported. The B-52 heavy bombers- striking across South Vietnam's northern dropped 2,500 tons of explosives on North Vi etnamese some of them retreating after an assault Sat urday on the My Chanh River defense line north of Hue, and on areas that could be used for staging an attack on Hue.

250 B-52 strikes It raised to 250 the number of B-52 strikes along the north ern front in the last three days, with more-than 6,000 tons of explosives dropped on North Vi etnamese troop positions, staging areas and supply caches north and west of Hue. The My Chanh defense line, 20 to 25 miles northwest of Hue, was reported quiet after six days of heavy fighting. The Saigon command reported one battle near Fire Base King, 10 miles southwest of Hue. Spokesmen said South Vi etnamese troops battled 100 or more North Vietnamese troops and 63 of the enemy were killed, half of them by air and artillery strikes. The command reported two South Vietnamese soldiers wounded.

Bomb suspected in Viet jet crash CATHAY, from Al there is no record of one ever suffering an in-flight structural failure from any cause, one source said. The other is that the cockpit crew, as far as is known, gave no indication of trouble between the pilot's last radio contact as the plane crossed the Cambodi an border into South Vietnam and the crash three minutes later. The flight recorder was re covered from the crash site and flown to the United States for analysis, but no report of the findings has been received here yet.

The Senate is certain to ques tion General Abrams, who is responsible for all operations in Vietnam, including the air war, on whether he was aware that General Lavelle had or dered unauthorized strikes over North Vietnam between last November and last March; General Lavelle was fired as commander here in April and was allowed to retire.
