With six of Miss Hearst's alleged captors dead after a series of weekend developments in which the case began to break open, the FBI led a blitzing search in this city today for the remnants of the nearly decimated Symbionese Liberation Army, and for Miss Hearst. The FBI said Sunday night it would charge Miss Hearst as the woman who pumped auto malic rifle fire into a sporting goods store on Thursday, the incident that triggered the army of lawmen into action as they began to close in on the SLA. The FBI said it believes Miss Hearst, who 106 days ago was pursuing her art studies and Dole, WICHITA, Kan. (AP) U.S. Sen.

Robert Dole and Rep. William Roy disagreed Sunday night on the impact in Kansas this election year of impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. Dole, seeking Republican re nomination to the Senate seat he has held since 1969, said, right now, the President certainly creates a problem with those of us who are running." Roy, seeking the Democratic nomination to oppose Dole in the November election, said, "I do not feel as strongly as the senator that impeachment will be the overriding issue." Roy said he views the economy and inflation as a prime issue in Kansas. The two members of Con Dick Docking pleads innocent TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) George R.

"Dick" Docking, brother of the Kansas governor, pleaded innocent today on arraignment in Shawnee County District Court on a charge of conspiracy to commit bribery. Docking was attired in a dark blue suit, a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie as he appeared before Judge E. Newton Vick ers. He waived formal reading of the indictment. Asked by Judge gress appeared before the Kansas Associated Press Editors and Publishers annual spring meeting at Wichita Country Club.

It was their first joint appearance since Roy announced in March he would seek the Democratic nomination. Republican candidates face a "no win" situation as far as impeachment and Watergate is concerned, Dole said. "You have to say right now it's a minus," Dole added. "But I think a lot will happen between now and November." Dole said that sooner or later the House will vote on impeachment. "That is going to polarize a lot of people in Kansas.

Somebody is going to bo upset no matter how the congressman votes. Roy said he would base his Vickers how he would plead, the governor's broUier answered firmly: "not guilty." He arrived in the court room just minutes before his scheduled time of arrignment. He was accompanied by his wife and his attorney, John Sham berg of Kansas City, Kan. Immediately prior to the arraignment, Shamberg filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against Docking on grounds that no crime is charged in the indictment. thinning out of armor immediately behind the disengagement lines would not cause a problem because the distances involved are not great.

Now in the 22nd day of his marathon peace mission, Kissinger brought to Damascus Israel's approval of his proposals to separate the opposing forces, which the Israeli negotiating team gave bunday. The Syrians accepted the plan Saturday, making final agreement by week's end appear a certainty. With agreement on the troublesome question of a separation line, the focus of negotiations now is expected to shift toward such problems as the composition of a United Nations contingent to man a buffer zone between the opposing forces, the thinning out of firepower and an exchange of war prisoners. Kissinger said he expected to remain in the Middle East at least until Friday, shuttling almost daily between the two countries. He scheduled his eighth session today with Syrian President Hafez Assad and Foreign Minister Abdel Halim Khaddam in Damascus.

He returns to Jerusalem in the evening to meet with Premier Golda Meir and other Is Disengagement DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) Details of a general agreement to separate Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights began trickling out today as Secretary of State Henry Kissinger arrived for discussions with Syrian leaders to overcome the few remaining obstacles. A senior American official said a buffer zone separating the two armies will vary in depth from less than half a mile to a little over one mile. According to this official, Israel has agreed to permit Syrian policemen to re enter towns and villages within the demilitarized zone along with Syrian civilians. Newsmen also were told on the one hour flight from Jerusalem that verification of the CHILDREN'S LETTERS ltfitlGlWtffi quietly planning a summer wedding, to be part of what is left oi her captors. "Apparently she has joined forces with the SLA," William A.

Sullivan, assistant director of the Los Angeles FBI office, said of the 20 year old newspaper heiress Sunday night. He added "She will be given the opportunity to surrender. If she opens fire on FBI agents or police, the fire will be returned." Police said early today all units were seeking a young white woman and two black men "considered armed and dangerous and may be suspected SLA members" who tried to offer "several hundred dollars" to a landlady if she would give them a room Sunday night. The woman was described as 111 to 20, blonde hair, blue eyes, with a sawed off shotgun on a sling concealed under her coat. Miss Hearst has brown hair brown eyes.

The men were described as in their 20s, one 6 foot 3 and the other 5 foot 4. for Patty Roy argue issues Police said when the landlady refused to rent the room, she was slashed at with a knife. Her clothing was cut but she was unharmed. Her assailants reportedly fled in a red and black sedan. Named in a warrant charging federal firearms violations were Miss Hearst and William and Emily Harris, a husband and wife in their late 20s.

The Harrises are white. If there was any solid SLA connection with the two black men sought early today, police did not give it. Six persons, including acknowledged SLA leader Cinque, are dead, victims of a Friday night shootout with an estimated 500 law officers that lasted more than an hour before their hideout house burned. When the charred remains of all six were finally identified by Sunday afternoon, the dead included what was believed to be all the top leaders of the SLA, which now appears not to have numbered more than a dozen. Formal complaints were to impeachment vote if the House Judiciary Committee submits a bill of impeachment to the full House on "the broad mass of evidence." Roy said he regretted President Nixon's decision to make public transcripts of White House tapes because, "they are only part of the evidence" and may have prejudiced public opinion.

In other matters: Both candidates said they are opposed to busing to achieve racial balance in schools. Dole considers news media coverage of Watergate and related matters "adequate" and regards Nixon's distance from the press one cause of the President's problems. Roy praised the Washington Post and other Shamberg urged the court to give precedence to consideration of this motion on grounds it would dispose of all other matters. "I'm confident no valid charge has been made in this indictment," Shamberg said. He said he was making this statement after much time spent in researching the law.

Vickers. however, said he has set wd motions in the case for hearing May 30, and that he taking shape raeli leaders. "You can assume this will be the pattern" over the next few days, said Robert Anderson, a State Department spokesman. Informed sources said the Kissinger compromise centered on U.N. control of the peak of Mt.

Hermon, with Israeli and Syrian units maintaining positions along the slopes. It also was said to include the return of the city of Quneitra to Syrian civilian authority and Israeli withdrawal from three abandoned Arab villages in the Quneitra area, which is just behind the cease fire lines drawn after the 1967 Arab Israeli war. The sources said that under the plan, the United States would help guard against violations by inspecting Israeli and Syrian troop movements and equipment in the contested region. Kissinger discussed the disengagement details and related problems with Mrs. Meir and other members of the Israeli negotiating team for three hours Sunday.

The cabinet met earlier. The usually well informed Israeli newspaper Haaretz said Israel's military leaders were insisting that artillery be limited to medium range guns on either side of the proposed buffer zone. The paper said this would be filed today against Miss Hearst and the Harrises, who Sullivan said he believed were still in Southern California. A youth who identified Miss Hearst for the FBI said she told him she raked a sporting goods store with rifle fire as she and the Harrises made their getaway after a bungled attempt to shoplift a pair of 49 ccnt socks. Randolph A.

Hearst, Patricia's father, was "taking it pretty badly" and was not expected to have any comment until later today, said a spokesman at the family home in Hillsborough. Calif. Meanwhile, authorities released Christine Johnson, 35, who ran from the besieged house during the Friday gun battle, and had been booked for investigation of harboring criminals. The charges were dropped. Police also were still seeking Thero Wheeler, an escaped convict who knew DeFreeze in prison media for Watergate reporting.

Roy said he considers abortion "a moral and ethical issue which the law has not handled very well; these are bad laws because they put the state on the side of abortion." Dole said he plans a "direct answer" soon on abortion. Dole said he voted against raising the federal minimum wage last year but voted for it this year because "it was the right thing to do." Roy accused Dole of "flip flopping" on the issue. Both said Congress should reduce federal spending to help fight inflation. Roy also advocated as short term steps to meet inflation a reduction in interest rates and control of oil products' prices at the retail level. was not going to alter the timetable.

He said he expects to handle matters in an orderly fashion. He told Shamberg and special prosecutor Mark Bennett Jr. to get together and to try to set a time for hearing Shamberg's motion. To be heard May 30 are motions to require separate trials for the defendants and to have them submit to normal law enforcement identification procedures, such as fingerprinting. prevent Jewish settlements from being shelled over the heads of U.N.

Paul Osborne presented the French vote PARIS (AP) Conservative Valery discard d'Estaing, for years the strict finance minister in France's Gaullist governments, has become the republic's 2()th president in an election that could reduce friction between Paris and Washington.

Latest official figures gave Giscard d'Estaing a lead of only 371.814 votes out of more than 26 million cast, more than 87 per cent of the registered voters in the largest turnout ever in a French election. Interior Minister Jacques Chirac declared Giscard d'Estaing elected Sunday night with 50.71 per cent of the vote. 1.5 per cent more than thai Socialist Francois Mitlerand received. Foreign policy played almost no role in the free wheeling, six week election campaign. But the first foreign notable to congratulate the new president was President Nixon in a protocol breaking personal telephone call, which French newspapers viewed as an omen of an easing in prickly relations between the two nations.

Giscard d'Estaing has promised to make technical suggestions soon on European monetary problems and work towards eventual European unity in 1980. The election mainly on France's severe economic problems, and also reflected apparent voter discontent with 16 years of Gaullist rule that ended with the death on April 2 of President Georges Pompidou. Giscard d'Estaing and Mitter rand eliminated the official Gaullist candidate, Jacques Chaban Delmas, in balloting May 5.

Constitutionally, the formal proclamation of his election can take place at any time in the next 1(1 days. It is expected late this week, after which Giscard d'Estaing will name his prime minister to replace the caretaker prime minister, Pierre Messmer. As the tight result was announced, leaders of all groups which supported Giscard d'Estaing warned that he must take into account that almost one Frenchman in two voted for the Socialist candidate, who had promised sweeping reforms and Communists in the government.

Opposition figures made a point of stressing their acceptance of the democratic process in conceding Giseard's victory. Leftist leaders noted that Mitterrand drew converts to their cause, winning 4 per cent more votes than the total leftist vole in the first round. Unions and extreme leftists indicated, however, that their patience would be very limited. Georges Soguy.
