Newark Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson, the first black mayor of a major northeastern city, has easily won reelection over the fiery leader of the New Jersey city's minority white population. In other elections yesterday two West Virginia incumbent US representatives who were challenged, won easy renomination and two other Democratic congressmen were, unopposed. Nebraska's Democratic governor, J. James Exon, won nomination for a second term.

Unofficial results in Newark's nonpartisan election showed Gibson with 42,313 votes to 33,652 for Anthony Imperiale, a state senator who organized white street patrols after the disastrous 1967 riots. Three CICELY TYSON HAL HOLBROOK "actor of the year" and "actress of the year." While there is little question that Miss Tyson and Holbrook will also prevail in the larger reas, they do face competition from various series leads. Holbrook's competition will come from Telly Savalas of "Kojak," named best actor in a drama series; William Holden of "Blue Knight," best actor in a mini-series, and Alan Alda of "MASH," best actor in a comedy series. All were winning for the first time, since Savalas and Holden were making their TV debuts, while Alda detroned Jack Klugman of "The Odd Couple." In the female competition, Miss Tyson will be arrayed against Michael Learned of "The Waltons," best actress in a drama series; Mildred Natwick of "The Snoop Sisters," best actress in a mini-series, and Mary Tyler Moore, star of her own show, best actress in a comedy series. Miss Learned and Miss Moore thus defended successfully the crowns they won a year ago.

Miss Natwick is a newcomer to series TV. "Miss Jane Pittman" topped the day's balloting with four Emmys, including awards for directing, writing and music competition to go with Miss Tyson's acting prize. The Barbra Streisand special, the "Blue Knight" and the Mary Tyler Moore series received three. nods each. CBS had a wide margin in the day's voting with 26 trophies to 14 for NBC, seven for ABC and one in syndication.

The acting winners: The last Air Force general to serve as chairman was Gen. Nathan F. Twining, whose term ran from 1957 to 1960. The Air Force now can boast of two chairmans, making it even with the Navy, while the Army has had four men in this slot. The opening up of the chairman's job was brought about by the approaching retirement in July of Adm.

Thomas H. Moorer, 62, who has had two 2-year terms as chairman. There was speculation at one point some time back that Moorer might be kept on for another year. But this would have required legislation from Congress and, moreover, Moorer's star had gone under a cloud after the disclosure v'V rn in ii mi. i i mmmrm "wftf ir i mi te-m imiriJ KENNETH A.

GIBSON winner ately recorded," said Smith. "It's a human error and certainly not intentional." Presidential spokesman Gerald L. Warren, answering a barrage of questions yesterday about the Saudi jfewelry, claimed that the gift was recorded an July 1972 by the gift unit." "There was nothing improper in the first lady wearing a gift," he said, Warren charged that the story was "blown completely out of proportion and sensationalized" and "by inference cast the first family in a bad light." He branded the Post report as "totally inexcusable." The gifts were shifted to the, office in the Executive Office Building March 28 after questions were asked. Tricia Cox, who had some pieces at her home in New York with her, sent them back to the White House, according to Mrs. Smith.

Warren said the jewelry will be turned over to the National Archives or the presidential library when Mr. Nixon's term ends, and added that they "belong to the people of the United States." geles Superior Court Judge ruled that if the star won't appear in the television series "Sanford and Son" he can't appear anywhere else, either. The judge granted a request from Tandem Productions, producers of the series, for a preliminary injunction barring Foxx, a big draw as a nightclub comic, from making any public performances except on the NBC tele vision" series. Tandem is suing Foxx for $10 million for breach of contract because Foxx will not show up to begin preparing episodes for next fall. John Dunlop, director of the Cost of.

Living Council, forecast yesterday that inflation would decline in the middle of this year but rise again in the final quarter. He told a congressional group that reductions in food and fuel prices will trigger rates of inflation below the present 10.2 percent annual rate for much of the rest of the year. Robert Strausz-Hupe has be3n sworn in as the new US envoy to Sweden, a post which has been unfilled for almost two years. Strausz-Hupe, 71, was administered the oath of office by assistant protocol chief William R. Codus.

GEORGE i. the too iob BROWN -i I I- By Percy Shain Globe Staff Cicely Tyson, portraying a fictional old lady, and Hal Holbrook, playing a real Navy commander, were named as best dramatic actors of the year in the balloting for Emmy awards announced today by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Miss Tysonls victory was generally expected since her performance in "Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" had been so widely acclaimed, though she faced formidable opposition from Katherine Hepburn, Cloris Leachman, Elizabeth Montgomery and Carol Burnett. But Holbrook' triumph was in the nature of a surprise, since many had thought Sir Laurence Olivier might win for his portrayal of Shy-lock in "Merchant of Venice." And Martin Sheen also had strong backing after his affecting performance as a private shot for desertion in "The Execution of Private Slovik." Holbrook had the role of Cmdr. Lloyd Bucher in the ABC Theater Drama "Pueblo," first aired in March 29, 1973, and repeated in the fall. It just missed eligibility a year ago, but memory of his stunning performance lingered. Two years ago Holbrook was similarly honored for his portrayal of a homosexual in "That Certain and he also received an Emmy earlier for his uncanny impersonation of Mark Twain in a solo special.

This is first year TV Academy has announced winners in individual categories in advance of the Emmy show, slated for May 28. It was done so the winners can compete in new categories called MICHAEL LEARNED ALAN ALDA Best Actor, Comedy Series Alan Alda, MASH. Best Actor, Drama SeriesTelly Savalas, Kojak.
