City, and the dead "were credited to a B52 strike on July 6." In another incident, field reports said an American helicopter crewman was shot and killed by a government marine on the northern front when the helicopter, on a medical evacuation mission, was mobbed by marines. The U.S. Command said it could not confirm the report but acknowledged that an American was killed by rifle fir as he was being rescued from a crash site Thursday afternoon.

An Army UIII Huey "crashed on liftoff while extracting wounded Vietnamese marines" about two miles northeast of Quang Tri the command said. "Shortly thereafter, a second U.S. helicopter landed and extracted the crew of the downed helicopter. "During this extraction, one of the rescued crew members was killed by small-arms fire. An investigation is being conducted." Unconfirmed reports said the first chopper was mobbed and dragged down by marines and the crewman was shot by an angry marine when the second helicopter lifted out only the Americans.

WASHINGTON (AP) As the legions of Sen. George McGovern laid plans for a massive voter registration drive, the Nixon administration laid out the welcome mat for Democrats dissatisfied with their party's presidential ticket. The first order of business in the Democrats' presidential campaign is a nationwide effort to register new voters, especially the young, said Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, vice presidential nominee, in a Kansas City speech Saturday.

McGovern, the Democrats' presidential choice, stayed at his Washington home Saturday, spending much of the day calling his Senate staff members and campaign aides. Eagleton planned to arrive in Washington Saturday evening. Republicans issued their invitation to disgruntled Democrats through former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, a lifelong Democrat. Standing on the lawn in front of Nixon's San Clemente, mansion Friday night, Connally said instead of supporting McGovern he will try to rally Democrats behind the President's reelection campaign.

FACES UPHILL BATTLE Meanwhile, Democrats of every persuasion were saying McGovern had an Sea Level Said Rising On Atlantic (C) 1977 New York Tim News Service NEW YORK The level of the sea, after rising and falling only slightly and slowly on a very limited scale through the millennia, has suddenly risen three inches in eight years according to measurements from Maine to Virginia. At least one scientist sees in the trend, which is continuing, a potential for "catastrophe on low coastlines within 30 years." Other scientists are less pessimistic, however, seeing it as a temporary KAMPALA. Uganda (AP) President Michel Micombero of Burundi has endd the personal rule he has exercised since an uprising 24 months ago, the official Burundi radio said Saturday. Micombero named Albin Nyamoya, a former minister of agriculture, to be prime minister. A new Cabinet was formed.

Micombero crushed a revolt of the majority Hvtu tribe led by former King Ntare early in May. Ntare was killed and casualties in the fighting numbered more than, 50,000 lives by official count and 100,000 by unofficial reports. Micombero's government is predominantly Tutsi, a minority tribe. Three of the five Hutu ministers dropped from the previous Cabinet were executed for their part in the attempted coup. Foreign Minister Artemon Simbana-niye, Finance Minister Joseph Hicubu-nindi, Health Minister Charles Bitariho and Minister of State Antoine Ntakohaja retain their posts in the new government.

64 PRIME MINISTER Nyamoya was prime minister in 1964 in the royal government of then King Mwambutsa. Micombero himself retains the defense portfolio and remains executive head of state. Ntare named him prime minister in 1966 but Micombero staged a coup later that year while the king was out of the country. the committee selected Basil Peterson, 45, a Harlem black and former state senator, as vice chairman. Meanwhile, Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace entered Spain Rehabilitation Center at the University of Alabama in Birmingham for intensive therapy. Wallace has been paralyzed from the waist down since he was shot May 15 while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in Maryland. Dr. George Traugh, the physician in charge of Wallace's rehabilitation program, said the governor would be able physically to wage a third-party presidential campaign if he wanted to.

But Wallace's press aide, Elvin Stanton, discounted talk of a third-party movement, saying the governor has made no definite political plans. AIDES IN ST. THOMAS Several top McGovern aides flew into St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday for "a rest and some campaign planning." Among them were Frank Mankiewicz, the senator's political coordinator, and St.

Thomas businessman Henry Kimmel-man, McGovern's finance director. Campaign director Gary Hart also was expected. Kimmelman predicted McGovern would "beat Nixon and beat him badly" in November Mankiewicz said the campaign party would return to Washington about the middle of the week, then join McGovern in the Black Hills of South Dakota next Sunday. (Continued From Page 1-A) had come to the fallen provincial capital. The sources reported ten operation by 20,000 South Vietnamese in Quang Tri Province was to clear the enemy from around the city rather than to push into it.

The U.S. 7th Fleet announced that fighter-bombers from the carrier America, recently returned to the war zone, had joined the battle for Quang Tri City. Navy pilots reported explosions and fires after strikes on supply areas one to three miles north of Quang Tri, while a Navy jet knocked out a long-range Soviet gun 10 miles southwest of the city. A government spokesman reported two new engagements Saturday outside Quang Tri and said 11 enemy were killed. He characterized South Vietnamese losses as light.

Thirty miles to the south, there was fighting west of Hue, and the old imperial capital was hit by eight enemy artillery shells that killed one person and wounded three. Reports said North Vietnamese gunners pounded Outpost Checkmate with 1,300 shells and assaulted the hilltop position that has changed hands four times in two weeks. 40 DIE AT BASTOGNE Military sources reported 40 enemy were killed in that battle and at nearby Fire Base Bastogne, 12 miles southwest of Hue. Government casualties were eight killed and 30 wounded, the sources added. Checkmate and Bastogne are considered strategically important because they guard the western approach to Hue, a route military officers consider the most likely to be used in any North Vietnamese attack on the city.

An unusual broadcast by the Viet Cong's radio said its forces had taken more than 200 prisoners from the 23rd Division's 45th Regiment after they were wounded and left behind during ground fighting in Kontum Province between July 2 and 4. The South Vietnamese prisoners were treated for their wounds and moved to a spot identified as Hill 616, where U.S. Air Force B52s dropped tons of anti-personnel bombs in raids the following two days, the broadcast said. It claimed all the prisoners were killed. A U.S.

Command spokesman said he had no report of such an incident, and the South Vietnamese reported no major battle in the area during that period. Last Sunday, the U.S. Command reported that South Vietnamese ground forces found 162 enemy bodies in a shallow grave iy2 miles northwest of Kontum Rebel Inmates Seize Part Of Prison (Continued From Page 1-A) one place but apparently not far enough to allow an escape. Fire units from Anne Arundel County and dozens of surrounding areas were unable to get inside the west wing where fires were observed. Although there were reports of sporadic shooting before 10 p.m., no shots were audible from outside the prison after that time and there were no further reports of gunshot injuries.

University Hospital officials in Baltimore said four inmates and two guards were received at the emergency room. At least two inmates were admitted suffering from gunshot wounds, the hospital said. The two other inmates and the guards were suffering undetermined injuries. The disturbance brokeout about 7:10 p.m. MDT while prisoners were involved in after dinner recreational activities.

"This is as bad as we've ever had," said one trooper at the Waterloo barracks. The prison is located between Baltimore and Washington. uphill battle ahead. "We're not under any illusions that the battle is won," McGovern himself remarked on arriving in Washington from Miami. "But I have mich the same feeling I had in New Hampshire at the beginning of the year it's an uphill effort but I think we're going to go over the top.

McGovern surprised pollsters and political commentators last January when he captured 37 per cent of the vote in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, considered the front-runner for the nomination at the time of the New Hampshire primary, expressed support fer McGovern on returning to his home state Friday after the convention. But he, too, saw a tough campaign ahead.

"They face not only the conventional challenge of unseating an incumbent president, but also the much more important challenge of facing new directions in America," Muskie told a crowd greeting him at the Portland airport. In another precedent-setting move, Congress To Resume On Monday WASHINGTON (AP) Much of the political push-pull for the White House will take place in Congress where the lights are switched on again at noon Monday. The floor speeches and votes of the Democratic ticket. Sens. George McGovern and Thomas well as some of their defeated rivals-will be fired as campaign ammunition.

But the issue is much larger. Oversimplified, it is that President Nixon contends the nation would be better off if Congress, dominated by the Democrats, would pass the stack of bills that make up his program. Congressional Democrats don't see it that way at all, preferring their own legislation, altering the President's in various degrees, or simply stalling the President's in committee. In 1948 Harry Truman made a Republican controlled ''do nothing" Congress a stepping stone in his "give'em hell" presidential campaign. This year President Nixon could do much the same thing and he has not discouraged speculation that he may call a recessed Congress back to Washington if he felt it necessary.

Some of the fresh insight on this was provided in a speech last week by Clark MacGregor, a former House member who heads the campaign committee to re-elect the President. All Nixon wants is progress, MacGregor said. "He does not wish to create an issue for political advantage." Police Probe Indiscriminate Knife Attacks TACOMA, Wash. (AP) Police were attempting to determine Saturday what triggered a sudden, indiscriminate attack in which a man allegedly stabbed five persons on 'a bus before he was shot and critically wounded by a bus driver. Officers said the alleged knife assailant, Alexander Murphy, 23, an unemployed Tacoma resident, was quoted as saying before the stabbings that he was "chased out of Portland by some witches." A Tacoma police detective said Saturday a witness remarked that during the attack on one of the elderly women the assailant said something about the woman being one of the witches from Portland.

Officers said at one point they we searching for a man who sat next to Murphy on the bus and who fled after the stabbings. However, subsequent investigation found all persons on the bus accounted for. Police said Murphy apparently had no traveling companion and no one had fled the scene. Four of the five stabbed in the Friday night incident were listed in satisfactory condition. The fifth was treated for stab wounds and released.

IN CRITICAL CONDITION Murphy was listed in critical condition from a bullet wound in the chest, a hospital spokesman said. The assailant "began stabbing and slashing indiscriminately" at peoole apparently without prior incident, police said. The attack began as passengers left the Greyhound bus in the Tacoma terminal. The bus, which began the trip in Portland, was headed for Seattle. The attacker stepped off the bus behind Linda Gail Chapman, 22, Portland, and began stabbing her in the back, authorities said.

The man jumped back into the bus, authorities said, stabbing John S. Hopkins, 63, Seattle: Luciel Osvold. 75. Portland; and Freida Kunz, 63, Portland. Harley Virgil Powell, 57, the driver of another bus, had been attracted to the bus by the commotion and was stabbed trying to subdue the knifer, police said.

Police said the assailant tried to flee and was shot by another bus driver, Harold Fallgreen, 47, Auburn, Wash. Fall-green carried the gun in his travel kit, police said. "People were hollering for me to kill the man on the other bus Fail-green recounted. "People around him were powerless," he added. "Something had to be done.

Anyone who tried to stop him would get stabbed." increase, but adding that they were "on shaky ground" when it came to making forecasts because of various unknown factors involving nature's behavior. The three-inch change in sea level was reported recently by Steacey D. Hicks, a physical oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the Department of Commerce, who called the rise "unprecedented." He also said that the continued upward swing a rate of three feet a century posed a problem to resorts, home owners and industry along the coast. When interviewed at Rockville, by telephone following the completion of his study, Steacy expressed some concern over the possibility of alarming the public and he said: DOUBT NEED WORRY "I stand by my findings 100 per cent, but I doubt there is anvthing here to worry about in one man's lifetime." His study has made use of 115 sea-level monitoring stations along all the coast of the U.S. operated by his agency and its predecessor, the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

A study of the sea level readings at the monitoring stations, he said, showed that the oceans were inching their way upward steadily, relative to the land, at most of the points, but with notable exceptions on the West Coast. The reason for the change is not clear. Hicks said scientists differed on whether the sea is rising or the land is subsiding but that the practical effect was the same since the water was covering the land to a greater extent than before. SAID COMBINATION He said many scientists believed the change was a combination of both the sea rising and the land sinking as a result of the melting of glaciers and the removal from the ground of an increasingly large amount of water and petroleum. The possibility of a "catastrophe," if the sea-level rising trend continues, was raised by Dr.

Rhodes W. Fairbridge. professor of geology at Columbia University. "If I were a bank he said In an interview, "I would be very nervous indeed aboil making a 30-year loan in my mortgage department for construction on low-lying land along a coast. I would prefer a hill." He said the change in sea level In relation to the land might be caused by a bending in the earth's crust.

He also said the National Science Foundation had refused further funds for sea level study. Robert H. Mead of the United States Geological Survey, Woodshole, said in an interview that a study of the sea-level change since 1963, Hicks' study began, would indeed show "a very steep rate of increase bit not "the true long-term trend." "The mean annual rise in sea level along the Atlantic Coast from 1931 to 1969," he said, "is about 0.25 to 0.35 centimeters per year, or about one foot per century." He said that while the sea level along the North Atlantic Coast "rose rather rapidly from the year 15,000 B.C. to about 5,000 years ago, the rate of sea-level rise has been rather slow for the last 3,000 years or so about one millimeter per year. (One meter per thousand years, or about four inches per Prof.

William L. Donn, senior research associate, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, Columbia University, said the sea level had risen as the Nixon Places Export Ceiling On Cattle Hides (Continued From Page 1-A) demand for hide ise in the United States, seriously low hide and leather inventories here, and an abnormal foreign demand. Imposing a ceiling on exports at last year's level will reduce inflationary pressures on shoes, give American cattlemen a fair and rising share of revenues from hide exports, benefit U.S. workers and industries by preserving stability of businesses using hides, and provide a generous and stable supply of hides for America's overseas trading partners. Peterson said that export tickets are likely to become of some value because of an anticipated higher international market price for hides than that which will prevail in the United States.

He said the Internal Revenue Service will be asked to keep close watch on U.S. producers to make sure they pass revenues from the tickets on to either cattlemen or to consumers in the form of lower meat prices. Chess Officials Try Saving World Match REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Boris Soassky fished for salmon and Bobby Fischer kept his Sabbath Saturday as chess officials scrambled to save the world championship. After talks with officials of the International and Icelandic chess federations, Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshal, announced the American challenger had withdrawn his objection to the presence of movie cameras in the playing hall "so Ions as they don't blow his mind." Marshal also asked the officials to reconsider their decision to uphold the referee in declaring a forfeit because Fischer missed the second game of the 24-game series Thursday. Fischer boycotted the session saying the cameras distracted him.

Marshal said new evidence was being prepared that might stave off cancellation of the match. He wouldn't say what the evidence was. Fischer's failure to turn up for his second encounter with the world champion gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Spassy needs 12 points to retain the title, Fischer 12V. Each game won counts a point.

A draw is half a point. Fischer is refusing to play game No. 3 Sunday unless the point the Russian gained by default is scratched from the score sheet. SEEK WAY OUT The deadlock seemed unbreakable, but Fischer's attorneys and his second, the Rev. William Lombardy, were trying to find a way out.

One official connected with the International Chess Federation said he thought it was impossible to take tht point away from Fischer boycotted game No.2 because, he said, the noise from hidden movie cameras created "outrageous" playing conditions. An engineer tested the noise level of the cameras and found no difference in the sound in the empty hall with or without the cameras running. The Icelandic organizers earlier agreed to remove the television and movie cameras, although revenue from the rights helped to raise the total prize money to $300,000, the richest chess championship in history. NOT PACKING Asked if Fischer planned to pack up and go home. Marshal replied: "No.

Otherwise I wouldn't be here." Marshal arrived Saturday morning, joining another New York lawyer for Andrew Davis. Spassky went salmon fishing to get away from it all. Fischer, as usual, was inaccessible. He was closeted in his hotel, presumably in quiet observance of the Sabbath his religion recongizes from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The feeling was that Fischer would not play the scheduled third game on Sunday.

But no one knew for certain. Civilian Lawyer For Lt. Calley Seeks New Trial OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The -civilian lawyer for Lt. William L. Calley said Saturday he will seek a new trial for Calley because of the discovery of a wftness to the My Lai massacre the Army claimed was missing at the time of the-lieutenant's original court-martial, "I think it has enough impact.on the findings that the Court of Review- mav very reasonably grant a new trial on it," George W.

Latimer of Salt Lake City, Utah, told the Daily Oklahoman in a telephone interview. Calley was sentenced to life in prison In March 1971 for his part in the My Lai incident. His sentence was reduced to 20 years during the first step of a lengthy reviewing process. The case of Calley, who is currently under house arrest at Ft. Benning, is now before the U.S.

Army Court of Military Review in Washington, D.C. Charles Dean "Butch" Gruver, 27, of Stotesbury, was located by the Daily Oklahoman after it reported that he was considered a key witness missing during Calley's court-martial. His discovery led to a meeting here last Sunday between Gruver and Capt. J. Houston Gordon of Washington, D.C, one of Calley's military counsels.

Latimer said Gordon told him he considers Gruver, a former grenadier in Calley's infantry company, a "very impressive and sincere" witness. Latimer said Gruver is the only person who could testify that orders to destroy My Lai and kill all its inhabitants came to Capt. Ernest L. Medina, Calley's company commander, from higher headquarters. Gruver had said he was available to testify during Calley's trial and was in contact with the Army.

Eel leverna Julie Eisenhower Flies To DC WASHINGTON (AP) Julie Eisenhower, recovering from viral pneumonia, flew from Jacksonville, Florida to the White House Saturday. President Nixon's daughter was accompanied by Mrs. Nixon and her husband, Navy Ensign David Eisenhower. Mrs. Nixon's press office said that Julie had been receiving treatment at her home near the Mayport Naval station, where Eisenhower is assigned.

"Her fever has broken and her temperature is normal," the press said. Local Shriners Attending State Meeting Nearly 1,000 Shriners from El Maida Temple made the pilgrimage to Ft. Worth-Dallas for the Texas Shrine Association meeting which began Saturday and Sunday. The Imperial Council session begins Monday. The group was led by Illustrious Potentate Robert Barrett.

For many it is the first time at a gathering of Shriners from all sections of North America. More than 100,000 wearers of the red fez are attending. Uniformed units of the temple took band instruments, flags, motorcycles, tin lizzies, costumes, plus the big bass drum which leads the often-decorated drum and bugle corps. All El Maida units will compete in Will Rogers Coliseum Sunday, and three of these will compete at the Imperial session Wednesday. El Maida's Motor Patrol, Drum and Bugle Corps, and Tin Lizzie units will go against similar groups from the entire Shrine of North America.

El Maida's nobility is quartered in four hotels in Ft. Worth. The main body is at the Rio Motor Hotel and over it tethered 150 feet above the street is a huge helium-filled balloon with the temple's name inscribed on it. One of the more important ceremonies at the Texas Association meeting will be the creation of new nobles. About 4,000 novices will be made Shriners in special ceremonies Sunday.

The new El Maida nobles will be feted at a special Potentate's party Sunday evening at the Rio Motor Hotel in Ft. Worth. There will be two traditional parades during the Imperial session. Tuesday, the combined 183 Temples will parade through downtown Dallas in an event expected to take nearly eight hours. The route includes a tour through the Dallas Convention Center.

Tuesday, Shriners will pack Texas Stadium for a show starring Bob Hope and featuring Musician Meredith Wilson. Wilson will conduct the Shrine Centennial March he has composed for Shrinedom's 100th birthday. The Imperial Council meeting will conclude Friday when new officers are installed at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Dallas. Three Die In Traffic Three persons were killed and 129 others injured in the 256 traffic mishaps investigated by El Paso police during the week ending Friday midnight. So far this year 32 persons have died and others have been injured in 6.312 mishaps, compared to 42 dead and 2,444 injured in 5,781 mishaps at the same time a year ago.

temperature of the climate increased, caused some flooding along the New Jersey coast. He said although the rise cars-ing some concern for places like Fire Island, the Rockaways and even the Battery here and to subways, particularly with hurricane and other storm-tide problems, there was no danger yet. FAA Chief Praises FBI For Handling Of Hijackings To Open Juarez 'Fair Expo 72' (Continued From Page 1-A) Juarez' geographical location with U.S. marketing centers was the key factor in choosing the border city for the Fair, the first in a series planned for other major cities along the border. "Our main objective," Garcia Cardenas said, "is to bring before the eyes of border U.S.

business industrialists and residents, the advancement we have achieved in developing our growing industry and to especially show our products can compete equally with any other foreign manufactured goods." 200 SIGN CONTRACTS He said of 400 leading Mexican manufacturers invited to participate in the border event, 200 have already signed contracts to exhibit their goods during the two-week exposition. The exhibits will include Mexican manufactured goods that have never reached the border market, he added. The entire area of the PRONAF Commercial Center will be utilized as the fair grounds. A special attraction will be a livestock exhibit of pure-bred Mexican cattle. All leading livestock breeders in the northern states will exhibit their prize animals.

Officials said the fair will not be all commercial. Special entertainment groups and singers from Mexico have been signed for daily appearances. There will be an amusement park featuring all types of mechanical games for children and adults. Spectators will be treated to a "Pel-enque" a cock-fighting area where the top fighting cocks will be seen in action. Among those attending the press conference were Danny Minjares, a member of the fair committee; Lie.

Manuel Quev-edo, of the federal tourist department; and Fernando Fernandez, Mexican consul general in El Paso who will be in charge of promoting the fair throughout tht U.S. southwest. Rapid City Not Included In Floor Bill RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) Mayor Donald Barnett said Saturday the Rapid City flood area is not included in relief legislation that President Nixon plans to propose to Congress Monday. Barnett was not told why the area was excluded from the relief package, but he said the office of presidential adviser Robert Finch told him the White House planned to review the package over the weekend and make an announcement Monday.

"I'm very disappointed at the early decision regarding this legislation," said Barnett. However, he added: "I am very confident that this entire issue will be resolved in favor of the flood victims of Rapid City after all the facts are made known to the White House," said Barnett. The flood-relief package, entitled "The Agnes Recovery Act," which President Nixon called the richest disaster-relief purse ever, proposed a $1.7 billion program, featuring $5,000 grants and loans at one per cent interest to victims of the tropical storm. Many South Dako-tans assumed Rapid City flood victims would be eligible for relief under provisions of the President's legislation. 237 PERSONS DIED At least 237 persons died in the floods that ravaged Rapid City last June 9 following torrential rains.

An American Insurance Association official said only $13 million of the estimated $100 million damage caused by the flooding is recoverable by insurance. Agnes was responsible for the loss of some 200 lives as it whipped through Florida and up the Eastern seaborad, causing the worst flooding in U.S. history in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and Phio. aircraft for profit is the world's greatest exercise in futility." "Given this perfect failure rate for for hijacking-extortions this year, it is amazing that anyone could still delude himself about his ultimate fate when undertaking such a venture," Shaffer said. "The typical hijacker extorionist is neither a stable nor rational personality, but one would think that even the most disturbed individual would have gotten the message by now." A Federal Aviation Administration summary of hijacking extortions showed 19 attempts since last fall.

Of $7,712,100 paid out in ransom money, all but $503,000 has been recovered, the FAA said. The sum outstanding includes $200,000 paid to an individual who gave his name as D. Cooper, who disappeared after parachuting from an airliner last fall. It also includes $303,000 paid to but not recovered from a man who surrendered Honduras. WASHINGTON (AP) John H.

Shaffer, Federal Aviation administrator, gave special praise Saturday to the FBI for its cool, expert handling of hijacking incidents. "FBI agents on the scene have had to make some extremely difficult decisions in which the dangers of taking positive action with regard to the safety of hostages had to be balanced against the dangers of non-action," Shaffer said. "I believe they have met this challenge in a mature and responsible way in avoiding the use of excessive force in all cases, and preserving lives of a signfi-cant number of innocent people in the process." Shaffer, in a summary of recent developments, said all 16 attempts to hijack aircraft for ransom thus far this vear have failed. The persons involves have been arrested, killed or are under the control of a foreign government, he aid. Shaffer said that "trying f1 hijack an.
