GLOBE PHOTOS BY BILL CURTIS Associated Press WASHINGTON Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig flew home yesterday after a six-day diplomatic shuttle to tell President Ronald Reagan about unspecified "new Ideas" for averting a British-Argentine war over the Falkland Islands.

But Haig declined to say whether he was optimistic or pessimistic that the "new ideas" would resolve what he called "the crisis in the South "I don't want to discuss my Judgments at he told reporters on arrival at Andrews Air Force Base outside the nation's capital. Haig said he will report to the President this morning on his mission to London and Buenos Aires and oaiiel ooees files wiretap, book says By Thomas Oliphant Globe Staff WASHINGTON Henry A. Kissinger, in his capacity as President Richard M. Nixon's national security adviser, personally ordered the wiretapping of a journalist in the late spring of 1969, according to an excerpt from a forthcoming book on Kissinger's White House years. The assertion, in the excerpt from the work by reporter Seymour M.

Hersh published in the May edition of the Atlantic, contradicts Kissinger's assertion through the years that, while he was aware of wiretapping at the Instigation of the Nixon White House, he took no leadership role in it. The wiretap was used on Hedrick Smith of the New York Times. The article also contains evidence, including some from hitherto unpublished files of the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, that Kissinger was aware of the work of the so-called Plumbers, a White House internal security unit established In mid-1971, several of whose members and superiors were later convicted of crimes. Again, this is contrary to Kissinger's past statements and testimony. In addition, the article alleges that Secretary of State Alexander M.

Haig, then Kissinger's deputy, assisted an effort ordered by Nixon to remove incriminating evidence from Kissinger's office on wiretapping of journalists and government officials. He did so, Hersh. says, so it could be concealed from the federal court trying Daniel Ellsberg for his jrole in making public the Pentagon Papers history of the Indochina War. Neither Kissinger nor Haig could be reached for comment yesterday on the allegations, which are certain to cause a major stir in the wake of publication of the second volume of Kissinger's memoirs and of Haig's high position in the Reagan Administration. Besides the complex, damning assertions about wiretapping and the Plumbers.

In what he described as "intense discussions" in both capitals, "the parties have received some new ideas, which they are now considering," Haig said. But despite a barrage of questions, he declined to describe what had been proposed or assess the chances of a settlement. Before leaving London, Haig sounded a note; of growing anxiety as Britain and Argentina remained in apparent deadlock over which country's flag will fly In the South Atlantic archipelago "The whole situation Is dangerous and Increasingly so.

Therefore, there Is great urgency to find a political solution," Haig said after his latest round of talks with British officials. In the Atlantic, a British naval force of about 40 ships continued Its southward course toward the disputed Islands, now Just a week's sail away. US government officials said In Washington the Soviet Union Is giving Argentina satellite and other Intelligence Information on the movements of the British armada. A member of Argentina's governing military junta, whose forces occupied the desolate ocean territory April 2, told reporters In Buenos Aires that "there are still some roads to explore" In seeking a diplomatic solution to the confrontation. BRITAIN.

The officials said the British have requested and received from the United States the use of a channel on a US communications satellite to help London communicate with their submarines patrolling off the Falklands and with the surface armada still more than 3500 miles from the region.

Radln Globe Staff Clarence (Jeep) Jones, who quit a Job as a Boston deputy mayor less than 18 months ago, has been granted a lifetime disability pension and is also receiving an additional $7500 annually as a director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA). His sole obligation to the city from which he now collects $44,100 annually, is attendance every other week at a BRA board meeting. Jones, 48, yesterday refused to discuss any aspect of his disability pension, which was awarded last year on the basis of emotional trauma he asserted he suffered as a result of the shooting of a black high school football player by a white youth In Charlestown In 1979. Although under Massachusetts retirement laws Jones had to be declared totally and permanently disabled to qualify for the pension, he said he would be "too busy" to discuss his case. Other politically well-connected Individuals whose disability pensions were listed in documents made public for the first time yesterday by the Boston Retirement Board were: Anthony Forgione, a former parks commissioner and Boston Arena manager for Mayor Kevin H.

White. Forgione, a Quincy resident known in City Hall by the nickname "Tough Tony." By Tom Ashbrook Globe Staff The Boston Retirement Board voted yesterday to release for the first time a list of the 1735 former municipal employees currently receiving nearly $19 million annually in disability pensions from the city. I In Its second business meeting In a week under Intense scrutiny resulting from reports on its awards of disability pensions, the board also moved to appeal the lifetime pension granted to a policeman with an injured thumb and review the cases of a firefighter overcome by fumes in a fire station shower and a local newspaper columnist formerly employed by the Boston Police Department. The release of the list was prompted by a suit filed in 1979 by The Boston Globe Spotlight Team seeking access to the names, amounts and medical reasons for all those granted disability pensions by the board during the previous five years. A Suffolk Superior Court Judge last September ruled that the names and amounts of the of those receiving the pensions should be released "forthwith," but prohibited the board from giving the medical reasons for the pensions.

The Globe has appealed that part of his ruling- i DISABILITY.

A 7- ify ,4 A' By Marvin Pave Globe Staff There were three pieces of good news for MBTA commuters yesterday. Rapid transit fares will be lowered from 75 cents to 60 cents beginning May 1 Four rapid transit stations will be reopened -some as early as this weekend. Service will be beefed up on selected bus and rail routes within three weeks. The MBTA Board of Directors, bolstered by a $13.4 million supplemental budget, unanimously approved all those measures yesterday. The action came six days after the MBTA Advisory Board made up of representatives from the 79 cities and towns in the MBTA district voted to give the transit authority an additional $6.4 million through June 30 and $7 million more through Dec.

31. However, the MBTA, which has been operating on a calendar year budget of $344 million, cannot spend the $7 million unless the Legislature approves a $95 million "cap" on annual assessments to those 79 commultles that help defray the authority's deficit. MBTA General Manager James O'Leary said at yesterday's meeting that Boylston and Essex stations would reopen Saturday; Bowdoln Station next Monday, and Symphony Station on June IS to co- run By Nell Singelals Globe Staff Sister Madonna Buder, a 51 -year-old Catholic, nun from Spokane, Is ready. She has an official number, W839. a blue T-shirt and'white shorts, and she'll be In Hopklnton next Monday at noon to compete with some 7600 other runners in the 86th Boston Athletic Assn.

Marathon. Sister Buder's shirt, with a quote from St. Paul Toward the Inscribed on Its back, was given to her last October on the occasion of her silver Jubilee as a member of Order of the Good Shepherd. She Is quick to point that her colors are white and blue because "they are also the Madonna's colors." Marathon director Will Cloney says he believes Sister Buder is the first nun who has qualified for the race. She ran the Coeur d'Alcne, Idaho, Marathon last May In 3:29.16, a clocking that beat the BAA's required minimum time for women 'in her flge group (50-59) by 44 seconds.

SISTER BUDER, Page 1 1 White presses for funding bill Boston Mayor Kevin H. White made a rare appearance before a legislative committee yesterday to press for approval of a $75 million Boston bailout bill that last year was repeatedly rejected. The proposed legislation, also supported by the Boston City Council, would enable the city to Issue $75 million In bonds. The money would pay court-ordered property tax abatements to commercial property owners and enable the city to rehire hundreds of policemen and firemen. Page 17.
