(AP) Rebecca Ann King started her 12 months in the spotlight as Miss America 1974 by noting that she's learned to be careful when talking with newsmen. "Maybe they're not on the same wavelength as you," said the 23-year-old Sterling, blonde at the traditional breakfast news conference Sunday morning. Then she offered such opinions as marijuana should be legalized because "it should be the individual's own choice." The 36-24-36 beauty who was crowned shortly before midnight Saturday by her predecessor, Terry Anne Meeuwsen of Wisconsin was raised on a farm in Iowa and spent the last year helping arrange press conferences while working in pub- lic relations in Denver. A registered Republican who wants to become a juvenile court judge and enter politics, Miss King told reporters that working within the system is "the only way you're going to get anything done." And she gave opinions on: --The Watergate investigation "I think it's going to be helpful for us." -President Nixon "He's not beyond being criticized." --Barry Goldwater She'd like him as the next president but "he's too old now frillvlivoiti i -explosives planted in cars blew up March 8 outside the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court, and in Whitehall, the street of government offices.

They were arrested at London's Heathrow Airport as they were preparing to leave for Dublin or Belfast. The trial was moved from London to Winchester because it was believed protection against terrorism could be more effective in the town of 25,000 than in the city.

Plainclothesmen, uniformed police and secret agents were brought to Winchester from London and other parts of the country to strengthen the security screen. Snipers were stationed on rooftops around the castle, and the Great Hall was County Police were searching today for two holdup men in their early 20s who robbed a 71- year-old Odenton man of $172 early Saturday evening. Police said the suspects walked into a produce stand operated by Joseph W. Isaac at 1252 Odenton Road and asked for change for a $5 bill. One of the men pulled a automatic pistol and, according to Isaac, said, "This is a holdup.

Let us have the money." Isaac gave the bandits $23, but one robber told him to empty his pockets and hand over the rest of the money. According to police, Isaac turned over an additional J149, and the two fled west on Odenton Road in an old black Chevrolet, isaan; oiau he had seen one of the bandits in the produce stand on several occasions. Police checked several cars in the area without success. Near Annapolis, Charles Colbert, 50, told police he was walking through Brown's Woods near his Forest Beach Road home about 1:30 a.m. Saturday when he was attacked by two youths.

One struck Colbert in the right eye, knocking him to the ground. The other grabbed Colbert's wallet, and the two fled. Colbert told police the wallet contained only a few identification cards. His money, in various bills, was in another pocket. Beef prices holding steady i i (Continued from Page 1) take into account changes in costs during that period.

"Until we are sure, we won't make any changes," the Safeway spokesman added. The other markets in Annapolis echoed this: no changes in beef prices until they get word from their home offices. But none knew when the prices might go up. "I doubt there will be many changes in the first part of the week," said Joseph S. Danzansky, president of Giant Foods.

Executives of Giant were to meet this afternoon "to discuss what we can and can't do," according to a spokesman the firm. The supply of beef is expected to return to normal in the markets now that prices can reflect the cost of supplying it. During the freeze only farmers could raise their prices in line with their costs, while slaughter houses and markets could not raise prices and thus had to absorb the increased cost of doing business. This led many slaughter houses to dose down because it was costing more to butcher cattle than they could sell it for. Therefore, less beef became available.

"Any supply problems should be automatically corrected," said the spokesman for Safeway, which in Lxoredjust ISminuies from Annapolis, 256 Md."

In light of this, he said, "I am at a loss to understand why only the Senate has acted," on setting up a reform-study commission. Nixon said the public "might well as' 1 whether the interest in reform is restricted to calling, for changes rather than making changes." Acknowledging he does not expect action this year on all his proposals, the President said cooperation could produce "genuine progress this fall" on priority measures.

In today's message, Nixon said congressional action on his proposals "has been far less a had expected" but added: "Commendable progress has been made on some fronts, and I have signed into law several bills which were the result of constructive compromise between the Congress and the administration. Turning to specmc areas ui concern, Nixon said "the battle against inflation must be our first priority for the remainder of this year and nothing we could do at this time would be more effective in beating inflation than to balance the federal budget."
