An authorized government also reported progress in the for an interim Sinai agreement iWith Egypt but warned that the negotiations could drag on for another month two. i a President Anwar Sadat an- jipunced Wednesday he has agreed to a U.N. peace keeping force to "remain in the Sinai desert another three months, a move that was expected to ease the negotiations.

The U.N. Secur- Council called a meeting Thursday Itp give formal approval to extending mandate. DATELINE An apparent snag in the negotiations developed Wednesday when Israeli Premier Yitzak Rabin said there must be direct Israeli-Egyptian talks and Sadat said in Cairo he opposed direct talks "in any form." An Israeli government source said Thursday Israel's demand for face-to- face negotiations with Egypt in the final phase of interim peace talks had never been brought up with Cairo before because it was "self-understood." He denied that Rabin's statement constituted a new obstacle to the signing of an interim peace pact. "In the course of the clarifications, such a demand from Israel did not exist," the source told correspondents in an authorized briefing. "This matter, being self-understood, never needed to be a condition.

"The Americans knew this as we do but whether the Egyptians understood this I don't know," the source said. "This is not a change in the government's position," the source said. "We have not introduced a new obstacle in our negotiations with Egypt." Israeli and Arab military officers met at Kilometer 101 on the Cairo-Suez road before and after the troop disengagements signed last year, the source said, and similar talks could be acceptable in connection with the current negotiations.

Wednesday, patrolman C.N. Wingo returned to the house with papers committing the 20-year-old youth for psychiatric examination. But while attempting to deliver them, police said young Allison grabbed Wingo's gun and fatally shot Wingo and both his parents.

Wingo, 60, who was nearing retirement after 32 years on the force, apparently had gone back to young Allison's bedroom to try to talk him into going peaceably to the hospital when Allison grabbed his gun and shot him in the back, police said. Lila Allison, the youth's mother, died apparently trying to call for help.

She was found shot once with the telephone receiver in her hand. Jake Allison, a retired postal worker, was found lying in front of the front door. He had been shot in the back also. Young Allison then went to a neighbor's house who called police after wrestling with the youth for the gun. Police arrested Allison as he walked down a nearby street less than a half hour after the killings.

They quoted the young man as saying, "Guess I've done about enough today." Butz predicts lowfer Soviet crop estimate WASHINGTON (UPI) A new U.S. government estimate of Soviet grain production may show Russian crops were hit even harder by a summer drought than previously thought, says Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. Butz, in disclosing plans Wednesday for the new Agriculture Department estimate, said he "suspected" it would report Soviet grain production has declined from the 195 million ton level which had been predicted by the USDA July 9. Department economists had estimated on the basis of previous forecasts that the Soviet Union would need to import 15 million tons of wheat and livestock feed grains for the 1975-76 season a gap which already has been partially filled by Soviet orders for 12.6 million tons from the United States and other western nations. The orders, placed between July 16 and 22, covered about 484 million bush- WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford says Sen.

W. Cook, chairman of the board of Cook Industries Inc. in Memphis, said Wednesday he understood the latest agreement under which his firm has sold another one million tons of wheat to Russia "completes the Russian buying program for the year." Butz said he could not predict flatly what the Russians would do following the apparent temporary halt in their Western purchases. He added, however, his information indicates Soviet officials may have to seek more grain from the United States or other foreign nations later. At the 195 million ton level, Soviet production would be equal to last year's crop.

But it would fall far short of the amount needed to continue expanding livestock feed supplies so more meat and poultry will be available to Soviet consumers. Soviet grain purchases total 13.6 million tons By United Press International The Soviet Union Thursday increased its 1975 foreign grain purchase to 13.6 million tons with a Canadian wheat deal and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said a continuing drought may force Russia to approach massive 1972 purchases abroad. The Canadian Wheat Board announced in Winnipeg it had sold another 1 million tons of wheat to the Soviets.

An Agriculture Department spokesman said Butz speculated at a dinner Wednesday night that, if the Russian drought continues, the Soviets might be forced to approach 1972 foreign orders for 29 million tons of wheat, corn and other grain. A highly placed grain trade source, meanwhile, said administration officials have privately asked major American traders to check with the government before beginning any further negotiations with Russia. The Minneapolis Tribune reported, meanwhile, that it had information the Louis Dreyfus Corp. of New York has sold another 4 million tons of American or Canadian corn to the draught- plagued Soviet Union. The Agriculture Department said in Washington it had received no confirmation of the corn sale.

Survivor of fall in fair condition BOSTON (UPI) "I fall. I'm sorry," said 2-year-old Tiare Jones from her hospital bed. Tiare, forced onto a fire escape by flames with her teenage godmother, fell five stories Wednesday when the fire escape crumbled. Her godmother died in the fall. The child, nicknamed "Tee Tee," apologized for the fall to her 5-year-old sister, Keysha.

She was reported in stable condition in New England Medical Center, but doctors were watching for internal injuries. Her mother, Patricia Jones, said the little girl was in fair spirits and had eaten several popsicles during Mrs. Jones's visit to the hospital. Tee Tee has not yet been told Diane Bryant, 19, died in the fall. Tee Tee and Miss Bryant came within seconds of safety Tuesday as fireman Robert O'Neill tried to help them from a fire escape to a ladder from a waiting fire truck.

As O'Neill grabbed the ladder, the fire escape collapsed. O'Neill held on to the ladder and the young woman made a frantic grab for his legs. But she missed and fell to the ground a split second before the child. The fireman pulled himself safely onto the The teen-ager, who had been babysitting while the child's mother was at work, suffered multiple injuries and 'died at 7:20 p.m. US family income took pounding in recession WASHINGTON (UPI) The family income of all Americans especially poor whites took a pounding in the recession, Census Bureau figures show.

The median income of the nation's 58 million families fell in 1974 to $12,836 from $13,373 in 1973. At the same time, the number of Americans living below the government's official poverty level rose 5.6 per cent in 1974, to 24.3 million. That means about 12 per cent of the U.S. population is considered "poor" by federal standards. The government's poverty threshold, which is adjusted upward each year to compensate for the rising cost of living, is now $5,038 for an urban family or four.

The 4 per cent slide in median family 1 income, first since small declines in 1970 and 1971, is bound to continue through 1975, since the recession did not really get under way until late last year. The Census Bureau's figures show low-income whites were hit especially hard in 1974. The number of white persons below the poverty line jumped 8 per cent, or 1.1 million, to 16.3 million: Blacks in the "poor" category numbered 7.5 million, essentially unchanged from a year earlier, the Bureau said.

The twister ripped away portions of the roof of the International Harvester farm machinery plant on the city's east side and shattered numerous windows at the plant. About 25 employes received first aid for lacerations. Winds shattered windows at the hospital and damaged a large church. Canton Mayor Robert Jennings requested "onlookers, bystanders and nonresidents" to stay out of the city until officials could restore order. "I don't know if it's declared a disaster, but it is," said police dispatcher Dick Fairburn.

State police said all but two telephone lines into the Canton area were blocked. A number of area radio stations were temporarily knocked off the air. The storm climaxed a day of substantial rains which spread across the Midwest and brought welcome rains to thirsty farmlands, ending a three-week dry spell in many areas.
