has been advocating right along, even though it couldn't get in to the NBC brass to make its pitch Johnny Cash not only starts a new show Jan. 21, but his wife and co-star, June, has a baby on the way, due in March. ABC's "Movie of the Week" was too short Tuesday night and the bricfie it threw in was too long, which made for an awkward 10 p.m. switch, almost in mid-sentence, for "Marcus Welby." MORNING GLOBE reviews in brief: "Gene Kelly's Wonderful World of Girls" (Ch. 4) Truly wonderful.

A show that had everything, and everything clicked. "Rowan and Martin Bite the Hand That Feeds Them" (Ch. 4) A roasting romp at the expense of television that ran into the law of diminishing returns. "Shameful Secrets of Hastings Corners" (Ch. 4) A broad takeoff on "Peyton Place" that was weakened because its victim is long gone.

Associated Press NEW YORK Two men, accused of using the office of House Speaker John W. McCormack as a base for influence peddling, pleaded innocent today to Federal conspiracy charges. They were Martin Sweig, suspended administrative assistant to the Massachusetts Democrat, and Nathan Voloshen, a lawyer described as a lobbyist and friend of McCormack who frequently visited the speaker's office Sweig and Voloshen, indicted Monday by a Federal Grand Jury, entered their pleas before S. Dist. Court Judge Edward McLean, who the $50,000 bail each under which they are free.

McLean ordered that they surrender their passports. The indictment alleged that Sweig, 46, a senior aide to McCormack, schemed with Voloshen, 72, to assert the influence of the speaker's office in connection with cases before Federal agencies involving clients of Voloshen. McLean scheduled Feb. 17 pretrial argument of motions. According to the indictment, the services of the two were available over a six-year period to a variety of favor seekers, including business firms and underworld figures.

U.S. Atty. Robert M. Morgenthau said McCormack was not a subject of the investigation. McCormack declined to talk about the indictments noting, "a man is presumed innocent until found guilty." Voloshen has been a friend of McCormack's for 20 years He was a frequent visitor to the speaker's office where the indictment charged he used "the telephone, secretarial staff and good will of the speaker of the House." At the heart of the case was an SEC complaint of last Oct.

16 in New York charging that the Parvin-Dohrman Co. secretly paid Voloshen $50,000 last June 10 in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid a ban on trading the firm's stock on the American Stock Exchange. Maximum jail penalties upon conviction on the conspiracy charges, plus multiple perjury charges against both defendants, would be 52 years in Federal prison for Sweig and 25 years for Voloshen. Associated Press HANOVER, N.H. Ghetto blacks and white policemen have returned from a survival experiment in the mountains virtually convinced that more jobs and better housing would end more black-white friction than bull sessions in the wilderness.

The experiment was cut short a week when the 10 men, all from Wilmington, felt time spent just surviving in the subzero weather was not furthering racial understanding. The expedition onto Mt. Moosilauke, 50 miles nirth of here, was led by Jut-ward Bound instructors, headed by Will Lang. The theory as explained by Outward Bound is that individuals discover themselves under stress and in turn are forced into a mutual understanding. By Percy Shain Globe Staff The logistical figures of a Bob Hope Christmas tour of U.

S. bases are fairly staggering: 26,000 miles of travel, a 77 -member troupe, 16 days on the go, 19 performances, not to mention rehearsals and hospital visits, combined audiences of 149,800, and filmed record of all this amounting to 167,000 feet of celluloid. Yet it all must be condensed into a 90-minute show (8000 feet of color-film) for the 60 million or so who will want to sit in on the proceedings on the NBC "Bob Hope Christmas Special" tonight at 8:30 on Ch. 4. The sponsor (Chrysler Corp.) did his bit by omitting all commercials for the airing of this formidable undertaking.

But there is still that matter of eliminating 159,000 feet that has been causing heaedaches to Bob and his crew of cutters all this week. Every time they feel it can't be done, they think back to the day on the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga when the giant stage set up on deck was soaked in a rainstorm and they needed it quickly moved below decks, a dismantling and assembling operation that ordinarily would take at least three hours and their tight schedule made it necessary for them to leave in two hours. "So 500 sailors just moved in, picked it up, and carried it down stairs," said Bob, speaking of the rare experience. "Four hundred of them rimmed the huge, bulky object. Another hundred were underneath.

An officer stood on top of it and called cadence. They'd pick it up, move five feet, set it down, rest a few seconds, then pick it up and move it five more feet. HARD TO BELIEVE "In 20 minutes they had it set right where we wanted it, and we could go into the show without delay. If I hadn't seen what had happened with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." The 19th annual show will follow the familiar pattern of bits and pieces from as many of the stops as can be crowded in, during which there will be glimpses of such entertainers that went along with Hope as Connie Stevens, Romy Schneider, Teresa Graves, dancer Suzanne Charny, Eva Rueber-Staier (Miss World), astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Gold-diggers, the juggling Peiro brothers, columnist Irv Kupcinet, Les Brown and his Band of Renown, and even Dolores Hope, Bob's wife, who consented to do some singing after years of retirement. For the second time in a month, the "Wonderful World of Disney" was wonderful enough to lead the entire list of shows on the air in the Nielsen ratings, this time for the week ending Jan.

4. Showing new life in its 16th year on the air, the Sunday anthology chalked up a mark of 29.2 to top the field by a substantial margin. "Laugh-In" was second with 27.5 and "Gun-smoke" third at 27.4, followed by the Orange Bowl game with 27.3.

It's working on the project, however, and is preparing a release with all the information Members of Action for Children's Television, the militant Newton mothers group, had broad smiles ysterday at the announcement that NBC had established a special children's unit, under a newly-created vice president, to Scrap discipline board, short Outward Bound maintains five camps in the United States, and nautical facility on Hurricane Island in Maine's Penobscot Bay. The movement started in England. Officials say it is too early to judge whether the latest "expedition" was a success or failure. "If it was a meaningful confrontation, if it got people to see themselves in a new light, then it was worth the effort," Lang said.

Plans for the proposed plant have been presented to various town agencies in Southboro by Western Electric.

There are no you going. want you er M.I.T. Continued from Page 1 One undergrad uate, Michael Albert, president of the Student was expelled, three others were put on probation and more were admonished. One of those on probation, George Katsiaficas, was among the leaders of today's demonstration. He told the police and faculty to get out.

"We own the building," he said. "We have taken over what is ours. We're not moving." The demonstrators are demanding that the M.I.T. student-faculty committee on discipline be abolished and that all disciplinary action it has taken be revoked. The demonstration, originally billed as "a takeover and live-in incentive rally," began peacefully in the main lobby of the administration building.

Protesters occupied the lobby and proclaimed their intent to "live together everywhere and anywhere in the building." Musical instruments, food, blankets and balloons were brought in, signs, saying, "M.I.T. For Sale" were put up, and the crowd settled down to enjoy some "revolutionary entertainment." From the lobby they went up to the second floor, where the offices of Dr. Johnson and Dr. Killian are located. Then six youths, their faces covered with ski masks, appeared carrying a heavy piece of lumber, padded at one end.

With this they broke into Dr. Johnson's office. The crowd swarmed in after them, brushing police aside and ignoring the efforts of Dean Daniel Ny-hart to persuade them to leave peacefully. During the uproar a pianist from Gutenberg, N.J., Norman Bloom, who gave a concert last night at the M.I.T. Student Center, appeared and began berat ing the demonstrators.

Bloom, who belongs to the Isaiah Committee to End All War for All Time, was attracted by the sight of a Viet Cong banner waving from the balcony. He told the young people they were "dirtying up the intellectual atmosphere" of M.I.T., and said they should be ashamed of themselves. Bloom is a large man, and the students listened to him with some respect though they failed to obey his admonishment to break it up and go away quietly. EXPLOSIVE CRISIS M.I.T. called it an "explosive situation," and officials were concentrating on trying to calm the demonstrators.

Army keeps close eye 'on-protesters? By Morton Kondracke Chicago Sun-Times WASHINGTON The U.S.

Army is collecting and computerizing information on the political activities of thousands of American civilians, a former Intelligence Corps captain reported yesterday. The former captain, in the Washington Monthly, reported that the Army intelligence command keeps watch not only on "violence-prone" groups, but also on such nonviolent organizations as the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Civil Liberties Union and Women Strike for Peace. The article was written by Christopher H. Pyle, now a Ph.

D. candidate at Columbia who served two years in Army intelligence. The Army intelligence command at Fort Holabird, in Baltimore, declined immediate comment on the article. According to Pyle, "military undercover agents have posed as press photographers covering antiwar demonstrations, as students on college campuses and as 'residents' at Resurrection City." Daily reports on political 'incidents from protest speeches to major confrontations are sent to every major troop command in the United States over a special nationwide Army wire service. "The Army also periodically publishes an 8-by-10 inch, glossy-cover paperback booklet known in intelligence circles as the 'blacklist," Fyle said.
