Edmondson, the "Professor Backwards" familiar to many television viewers. Police identified the three as Roy Anthony Brown, 20, Michael Gantt, 22, and Willie Bell, 17.

AH three lived within a mile of the northwest Atlanla area where the body was found Thursday, Del. Douglas Young said. Three men showed up at Edmondson's modest suburban home Wednesday night asking to use the phone, police said. Before they fled about 9 a.m. Thursday in his brown Cadillac, officers said, they raped the entertainer's 25-year-old housekeeper.

Descriptions furnished by the housekeeper, who was treated at a hospital and released, were vague, police said. Early reports indicated the suspects were in their early 20s. Edmondson's body was found about 1 p.m. on an isolated road on Atlanta's northwest side by city workers. Police said he had been shot in the head at close range and that his wallet was missing.

Edmondson, 65, was once featured in Riplcy's Believe it or Not for his knack of rapidfiro backward-talking, which he parlayed inlo a 40-year career in vaudeville and nightclubs and on television. His agent, Monk Arnold, said he appeared on Sullivan's popular variety show 24 times, more than any other performer. He was also a frequent guest on the Tonight Show. Police Lt. W.K.

Perry said Edmondson was fully clothed, with pajamas beneath his trousers. A bloods pattered tweed hat lay near the body. He said Edmondson was identified by a blank check found in a trouser pocket. There were reports the abductors might have taken Edmondson to his bank, but Perry said-police were a to i i i a whether any withdrawals were made. Edmondson claimed he.

could spell rapidly 'any word in the English language backwards. To prove it, he challenged audiences to try to stump him. He claimed he never had been slumped. The word that came closest, he said, was phthisic. "I had to think about that one," he said.

Edmondson, who performed at the White House and hobnobbed with politicians a.nd other VIPs, retained a quick, unpredictable wit. ills three marriages the latest to actress Audrey Clark ended in divorce. He said his first two wives divorced him "because of illness they got sick of me." "It's not how big you are loday, or how much money you have," he said another time. "The size of your funeral will depend mostly on the weather." Funeral arrangmenls were incomplete. A son and a daughter survive.

Eugene McCarthy, an independent candidale for the presidency this year 1 James L. Buckley, and other individuals and groups.

The-challenge was based on a wide array of constitutional grounds, including privacy, freedom of speech and separation of governmental powers.

Since that vote, the Federal Election Commission has authorized payment of more than $3.25 million to 11 presidential candidates and the two major political parties. The act calls for subsidizing presidential campaigns and conventions with money set aside by taxpayers in filing their income tax returns and limits spending by presidential candidates to $10 million in primaries arid $20 million in the general election campaign, plus 20 per cent, for fund raising.

"All I want the House lo do is respect the agreements we have already made," Anderson said. A Republican who favored releasing the report, Rep. James P. Johnson of Colorado, a committee member, told the House, "The issue before you today is to decide if despicable, detestable acts should be reported. Your choice today is whether to i i i shameful conduct." Rep.

Richard H. BoHing, joined committee members in saying no secrets in Ihe report would damage U.S. security and said the question was whether Congress will impose oversight on secret operations.

Three a i marked disagreements have emerged since Rabin arrived Tuesday, the latest over the perceptions that Israel and the United States have of the Syrian role in the recent crisis in Lebanon. Before leaving for New York today, Rabin told the National Press Club on Thursday that Syria was trying to establish a radical Moslem government in Lebanon through the destruction of that nation's Christian population. By trying to carry out the "Islamization" of Lebanon, Rabin a the Syrian i "serves as a reminder to us what might be the fate of a minority in a sea of Arab countries." Two hours after Rabin said the Jewish state would not allow itself to be sacrificed, the Stale -Department took a different view of Syria. Indeed, said a spokesman John Trattner, Syria "took a constructive role" in arranging a cease-fire and political compromise between a i Lebanese Christians and Moslems. This was the first public praise of Syria by the United States in connection with the Lebanese civil war.

Democratic Whip John J.

Ford has recommended phasing out the jobs proeram. "Our actions will reduce the heavy drain on the Treasury from welfare payments and unemployment compensation, create hope and opportunity for the jobless and further advance national economic recovery," McFall said. "The House of Represen- tativeshassent a clear, positive message to the jobless of this nation," Speaker Carl Albert said.

The assassination of Greece CIA Station Chief Richard Welch, after his name was disclosed by a Athens newspaper was raised twice i the House debate, although the committee had i to do wi.th the disclosure. But Pike said after the vole a he believed Welch's assassination in December had shifted the public mood and Congress' against disclosure of intelligence activities, proper or improper. "It was a tragedy," Pike said of the assassination, "and I think it was used by Ihe CIA right up to the hilt." Pike said he believed another reason for the House vote was that "there remains this concept in America that once you use the phrase 'national security' nobody should look behind it and 'see what you're talking about." Pike's committee was to go out of business Saturday, but the- House extended it to Feb.

H. The panel had asked the extension to give it time to vote out and file recommendations for intelligence reforms. But Pike said his own vote when the committee meets again sometime next week will be to 'just drop the whole thing.
