'1D ent Fears Stadium a 'aper Tiger' Sarg Governor, Awaiting Details of Plan, Says Veto Is Likely If State Funds Are Needed yw.gnw.i iiaw.tiwaii..gwiiiiw -J 1 I (it "It seems to me there have been more games played with the stadium than the Patriots themselves have played." Sargent said he thought the $1.2 million that was quoted as the potential revenue that would be available for stadium financing should Suffolk Downs be granted 12 extra racing days, was "overly optimistic." According to the governor, information that was first given to him indicated the race track's contribution would be made after regular state faxes were deducted. SARGENT, Page 43 a bill that would grant unemployment benefits to employees who were willing to work during a lockout. If the bill arrives in the form now pending before the Legislature, he would have to consider a veto, the governor stated.

Sargent said he had confidence that the proposed reduction in the size of the House would be passed by the Legislature. "I'm confident we have the votes," he said. On the stadium, Sargent obviously was irritated over delays in receiving details of the plan. "The city said it would submit its financial plan to me and I'm still waiting. Time is running out.

By Mike Eeatrice, Globe Staff Gov. Francis W. Sargent said today it was very doubtful that he would approve Bill Veeck's stadium plan if it involved the use of state funds, even if they were in the form of additional revenue taxes resulting from extra racing dates at Suffolk Downs. Questioned at a State House press conference, the governor said he would have to withhold any final decision until "the city" presented him with the financial facts of the proposal, adding that the plan could well prove to be just a "paper tiger."

He said he considers Vice President Agnew a "subtle reincarnation of Senator Joe McCarthy. It is the same old anti-intellectual thread." He said he opposes the nomination of Judge Carswell to the Supreme Court. Haynesworth was one thing, this man is another. I don't mind an honest conservative.

The country deserves something better, however, than an undistinguished Southerner who has been consistently overruled on civil rights cases." Dr. Knowles said the people of Massachusetts "deserve a better shake from the Nixon administration than they are getting. Sawing off the northeast and letting it float oil toward an oil slick in the northern oceans is hardly my idea of what is right." He said that the Nixon administration is not supporting health measures the way he thinks it should. Hospital construction funds have been cut back so strongly that the Boston City Hospital plans and the program of the Harvard Affiliated Hospitals are threatened. KNOWLES, Page 3 By Herbert Black, Globe Staff Dr.

John H. Knowles, general director of Massachusetts General Hospital, said today he can no longer tolerate Nixon policies downgrading health and the people of Massachusetts. He said he and his wife quietly changed their political designation from Independent to Democrat a month ago in Brookline town hall because "we are much more in tune with Democratic principles than with Republican and we feel it isn't morally right to be neutral when you feel strongly about issues." He denied that the change in registration has anything to do with seeking political office, although he did not bar that possibility in the future if a situation arose where he thought he could make a contribution. "This was a very personal, philosophical thing with us," he said, "and that is wrhy I made no announcement, but went at noontime to the town hall to change registration. I often worked with the stall of Senator Robert Kennedy and with the staff of Ted Kennedy.

I feel in tune with many of their goals."

'They were very, very close. I have my own feelings about that, but I won't go into them. Just say it was a particularly warm, close, long-lasting relationship," said Madelin Gilpatric, who reports she separated from her husband in 1968. just betore he started publicly squiring the then-widowed Mrs.

Kennedy. Mrs. Gilpatric spoke in an exclusive telephone interview from her New York apartment yesterday after four highly personal letters from Mrs. Onassis to the former deputy defense secretary were consigned for sale to an autograph dealer and publicized. "Since our separation is really a very personal thing and we're not divorced yet, I'd rather not go into the reasons," said Mrs.

Gilpatric, when asked specifically if Gilpatric's feeling for Mrs. Kennedy was what ended the 10-year marriage. "I'd just rather not discuss that. One way or the other I'd rather not say yes or no," said Mrs. Gilpatric, the 63-year-old attorney's third wife (his two previous marriages ended in divorce and he has three children by the first marriage).

Was her husband in love with the beautiful former first lady, now or ever? "I don't know I wasn't there," Mrs. Gilpatric replied sarcastically. Later, she said that "the world's a very small place when you're well known it's very hard to hide things that happen, because people talk." GILPATRIC, Page 2 More About Letters DR.
