Clifford has expressed "increasing concern" about the rapidly growing Soviet force of intercontinental ballistic missiles which nearly quadrupled in two years and which is expected to exceed that of the United States this year or next.

AP Vietnam, which organized the Democratic convention demonstrations in Chicago last summer, obtained permits for a "counter-inaugural parade" Sunday afternoon, to be followed Sunday night by a "counter-inaugural ball" in a big circus tent erected on the grounds of the Washington monument. Mobilization leaders predicted that up to 10,000 war protestors would take part.

OFFICIAL inaugural activities started Saturday afternoon with a reception. for distinguished ladies at the National Gallery of Art. Mrs. Nixon had twice before attended such WASHINGTON (UPI) -Americans of all aorta and of every aspect swarmed into their nation's capital Saturday to take part in a three-day, $2.7 million round of inaugural activities that will be climaxed Monday by the swearing-in of Richard M. Nixon as 37th President of the United States.

On hand for the third Republican inaugural In 40 years were famous governors and notorious pickpockets, bearded anti-war protestors and Congressional Medal of Honor winners, cowboy actors and Indian princesses, astronauts just back from the moon and high school band musicians on their first trip away from home as diverse a cross-section of humanity as ever assembled for a single event. Their motives for being here were as various as their backgrounds. Some came to celebrate a political victory, to honor a new president and vice president, to witness a solemn and peaceful transition of power. Others came to see and be seen, to spend small fortunes on gowns, hairdos, hotel rooms and tickets for events at which they might get a fleeting glimpse of "Dick and Pat" to talk about back home. SOME CAME TO exploit the ample opportunities for chicanery which are present at every inaugural.

And some came to dissent. For the first time in the nation's history, a presidential Inaugural was confronted by a large-scale protest demonstration. The National Mobilization Committee to End the War in The first-lady-to-be, wearing a princess dress of sky blue silk and worsted, stood in the receiving line with her two daughters, Tricia and newly-married Julie Nixon Eisenhower, former first lady Mamie Eisenhower, Mrs. Spiro T. Agnew and the wives of incoming cabinet members.

The schedule called for Mrs. Nixon to fly back to New York after the reception to join her husband, who elected to remain off-stage during the opening day of the inaugural festivities. THE president-elect and Mrs. Nixon planned to return to Washington together Sunday afternoon in time to attend the inaugural concert, featuring the National Symphony Orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle choir, on Sunday evening in Constitution hall. The Nixons will occupy a suite at the Statler-Hilion hotel until they move into the White House Monday.

The Nixon daughters, escorted by Julie's husband, David Eisenhower, and his parents, Col. and Mrs. John Eisenhower, remained in the capital to represent the family at the inaugural All-America gala Saturday night. This fund-raising function drew 10,000 Republicans to the National Guard Armory, where tliey paid up to $100 a ticket to see a show which offered a talent for every foste, from opera star Jan Pierce to soul singer James Brown.

Kugene Jewell, chief of the state arson bureau, said from his Columbus home Saturday night, "We have physical evidence the fire was set." Jewell, who arrived on the CSU campus early Saturday morning, said the evidence vcas taken to the stale crime bureau at London prison farm for laboratory tests.

THE ARSON investigator confirmed reports that a can which contained gasoline was found in one of two basement, classrooms gutted in the late Friday night fire.

But Clifford, in what amounted to a valedictory statement on the eve of leaving office, insisied that the U.S. remains stronger than any potential adversary.

He said his hoHM for a peaceful world were encouraged by a Soviet willingness to discuss a halt in the arms race and by the shift hi Vietnam emphasis. CREDITED by many with having played the central role in turning the Joluvon Administration's strategy from escalation to de-escalation and negotiation, Clifford said, "I think that we have now set a true course toward in Vietnam." Th3 secretary's views are contained in a detailed analysis to Congress of the outgoing administration's final defense budget. The analysis explores the rationale behind Hie country's national seeurhy imlicy and its weapons decisions. Clifford said the Sniet Union had surpassed American intelligence estimates by moving from 250 ICBMs in mid-1965 to 900 by last Se; tombor. Other sources say the Soviets now possess more than 1.000 such missiles, having drawn roughly even with America's land-based force of 1.051 missiles.

HE ALSO NOTED that the Soviet Union was operating some nuclear-powered submarines similar to America's Polaris submarines, carrying missiles with a range of more than 1.500 miles. Eut he credited the Russians with only 15 m'ssih's on such subs compared with (556 on Polaris subs.

Bower, acting chairman of the UD Psychology department, is testing 40 students to find out how much they know about their heartbeats.

"ONCE WE find out how much we can describe about our internal events (heart, brain, muscles), we can take a look at controlling them," Bower explains.

Jean Kappell can meet any crisis. Take the day in Kansas City when her cooking editor gave the cooking sherry a lengthy taste test and wasn seen tor days. Jean swung into action and started to write a cooking column before she remembered a key point. Her cooking in those days wasn't much. Solution? A lengthy series titled "17 Fascinating Ways to Prepare Spaghetti." Since those were barely post-depression days, it must have been popular with her readers.

Now Jean Kappell is winding new paper into her typewriter and prepar them. At first, his ideas sound like refugees from the twilight zone. But Bower points out that at the turn of the century, so did wiggling one's ears. "It was assumed that some people could move their ears, and others could not. Then, Dr.

J. H. Bair began experimenting at the University of Michigan." BAIR HAD his subjects think about moving their ears, while he electrically stimulated the muscle group that moved them. He proved that anyone could voluntarily control his ears, once the dormant muscle group was awakened. In 1958 Dr.

Joseph Kamiya applied the voluntary control theory to the human brain. Electrical activity within the brain TV Ch. 16 Beiii" Sold fl AKf By JOE FENLEY Daily News Business Editor Negotiations are being held for sale by Kittyhawk Broadcasting Corp. of WKTR-TV Channel 16 to American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. Craig Wright, Columbus attorney, who is a Kittyhawk shareholder and board member, confirmed that negotiations are being conducted.

BUT WRIGHT stressed that there has been no firm offer made by ABC for the financially troubled UHF station in Kettering. Kittyhawk's board of directors has given the ABC subsidiary a price, somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million, according to sources. Wright stressed that negotiations are in preliminary stages and that no deal has been worked out. "ALL WE'RE doing is just talking," said Wright. "We gave them a figure.

They are taking our tentative proposal to heart. They've been in to look the place over. No offer to buy has been made." The board of directors of Kittyhawk meets Thursday, presumably to consider further the possible sale of the station to ABC. A meeting of shareholders of Kittyhawk is being scheduled for mid-February. ANY SUCH SALE of station's license and assets would be subject to approval by shareholders and the Federal Communications commission (FCC).

WKTR-TV would be ABC's first owned and operated UHF slation. ABC owns and operates five VHF stations, and, under law. is allowed two UHF stations. Generally, the FCC does not approve the sa'e of television stations in operation less than three years. But the rule is sometimes waived in hardship cases where continued operations would result in severe financial loss for the original owners.

AS A GENERAL rule, new UHF stations are expected to lose money in the first two or three years of oixration. WKTR-TV, which went on the air Mar. 20. 1967, has had losses far in excess of those considered average in the in dustry. A number of the investors want oirt of the venture.

He was run- "no one man took my son's life. It's going to proven. I don't care what anyone says.

I know." Two of Ray's closest kin, brothers John Larry and Jerry William, figure that as John Larry says "if Jim did it, then it was for money and that means somebody else is in on it." ARTHUR J.
