They were released on personal recognizance bonds. Agents said also they had a warrant seeking to arrest Francisco "Paco" Flores of Piedras Negras, Mexico, on the conspiracy charge. Kenneth A. Miley, a Customs Service agent here, said officials in Mexico helped coordinate the NEW ORLEANS (La.) -(AP) A plot U.S.

officials say was aimed at overthrowing a foreign country apparently Communist Cuba has been revealed in the arrest of nine persons in a munitions smuggling scheme. Allegedly stretching from New York to Louisiana, Texas and Mexico, the plot came to light with the arrests Saturday. In addition, nearly seven tons of plastic explosives were seized in a DC4 transport plane at Shreveport, federal officials "have no reason to be explosives, 7000 feet of Pri-m a 2000 electrical blasting caps and 25 electrical detonators for $4:50,000. Vera Cruz In addition, it alleges that another was to be paid for flying the explo-. sives to an airfield near Vera Cruz, Mexico.

Federal officials said, however, that no money changed hands. They said the Primacord, caps and detonators also were seized in the airplane. Arrested in Shreveport were James M. Miller Jr. lieve that the munitions were destined for any country other than Cuba." Revolution The complaint charging two of the men, Murray Kessler of Drooklyn.

N.Y., and Adler l'. Seal of Baton Rouge, alleged they "knew and believed that this material would be used in an attempted overthrow of a foreign nation." Gallinghouse refused say precisely that the overthrow plot involved Cuba, but he said the complaint and his statement yesterday leges dealings by a man known as "Carlos Diaz" to purchase as much as $1.2 million in munitions and weapons, ranging from submachine guns to Mills. No guns, however, were aboard the plane raided by federal agents at Shreveport. Gallinghouse said that Diaz, identified only as a man claiming to be a Mexican citizen, was being sought along with another man. The federal complaint alleges Kessler agreed last Wednesday to sell to Diaz 13,500 pounds of C-4 plastic were "self-explanatory." The nine were charged with conspiring to smuggle the explosives from the United States to Mexico for future shipment to a third country.

A those arrested were Richmond Harper, a prominent South Texas rancher-banker, and Marion Uegler, a former inspector with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. They were taken into custdy at Eagle Pass, where they reside, then released on bond each. The federal complaint al 1, YS lly Louis Harris In the aftermath of the attempt on his lite, a deep wellspring of sympathy has developed for Gov. Georgo Wallace personally.

The number who see him as a "man of high integrity" has risen from 40 to 56 percent, and 7. percent of the public agree with the statement that "he is brave to keep running for President alter he was shot, Although there has been a dramatic rise in the favorable estimates of Wallace the man by the American people since the attempted assassination, his actual vote totals have not changed appreciably from what they were just before that tragic event. Paired as the nominee ol the Democratic party, Wallace polled 24 percent of the vote just before the shooting, precisely what he achieved in the latest Harris Survey taken in mid-June. As an independent third-party candidate, Wallace received 17 percent of the vote against President Nixon and Sen. McGovern in May and the same percent in June.

However, another highly important political fact now surrounds the Wallace candidacy. If Sen. McGovern is the Democratic nominee, Wallace as a third-party candidate would draw off nearly twice as many voles from President Nixon as from McGovern. If Senator Edward Kennedy were the Democratic candidate, the pattern would be much the same. Put another way, if George Wallace decides not.

to run as a third-party candidate this fall, the net result, as of now, would be to add 4 points to the Nixon margin against McGovern and 6 points if Kennedy were the Democratic standard-bearer. Thus, the Democrats have a deep dilemma as they await the possible visit of Governor Wallace to their convention in Miami Beach next week. The Democrats would be much better off if Wallace were to bolt the Democratic party and run as an independent again. On the other hand, public sympathy for the Alabama Governor runs so strong now that any unfair treatment of Wallace could cause deep resentment against the Democrats and their ultimate nominee. Here is the trend of the public profile of Governor Wallace from surveys in May and June, the latest taken among 1401 likely voters between June 7th and 12th, in response to this question: "Now let me read you some statements which have been made about Governor George Wallace of Alabama.

For each, tell me if you tend to agree or disagree." POSITIVE Agree Disagree Not Sure -1 1 ft i PC" I Busload of Race Fans Hijacked BALTIMORE (AP) Two armed men commandeered a busload of race track fans today and forced the driver to circle the city while they robbed the passengers. The two men, one armed with a shotgun, fled the bus with $3413 an hour later at Ilalethorpe, a small town 10 miles south of here. No one was hurt. Thomas Manning, manager of the Baltimore Motor Coach said the bus carried 46 passengers and was en route to Delaware Park Race Course at Stanton, Del. Manning said the men pulled their guns as the bus neared the Baltimore Beltway north of the city.

He said the driver was forced to'enter the Beltway and drive completely around the city while the gunmen went from passenger to passenger, taking valuables. Forty-three of the 46 passengers told police they had been robbed. The three who were not robbed said they merely told the gunmen they had no money. Manning said one passenger scribbled a note calling for help and dropped it from the moving bus as the robbery was in progress, but it was lost in the 65-mile-an-hour STILL THE CHAMPION, BORIS SPASSKY INDICATES IN ICELAND The Russian expert Fischer Acccpls I New Offer Ex-E. Bt Educator In Rift BOSTON (AP) State Education Commissioner Neil Sullivan plans to resign within the next week or two and accept a teaching job at California State University in Long Beach, the Boston Herald Traveler Record American reported in a copyrighted story today.

However, the Boston Globe quoted a Sullivan aide, William J. Crowley, as saying: "Sullivan will be commissioner of education in Massachusetts for some time to come." Sullivan, who was superintendent of schools in Berkeley when he was appointed to the Massachusetts post in September, 1968, has been embroiled in a continuing battle with the Boston School Committee over school integration. Sullivan is a proponent of busing and used it to integrate schools in Berkeley. The newspaper listed no reason for Sullivan's reported resignation. Sullivan was unavailable for comment, but his wife said: "I don't know anything about it." Roj icrprs Greek Visit Criticized ATHENS (AP) For-m politicians, including the last constitutionally appointed premier, issued statements today criticizing Secretary of State William Rogers for forthcoming visit to Greece tomorrow.

Former Premier Panayi-otis Cancellopoulos said Rogers' visit "under the present circumstances will not be understood by the Greek people unless it is linked to a radical change in the attitude of the U.S. government toward the Athens regime." "If this does not Canellopoulos added, "the Greek people will consider Mr. Rogers' visit not as a friendly gesture toward Greece but as an act of courtesy toward a regime which has deprived Greece of its liberties Rogers is due tomorrow for a 24-hour stay.

It called on the Arab League to intervene to "protect member states from unilateral moves which could lead to serving American-Israeli objectives in the Middle East." Yemen and Sudan, along with Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Algeria broke relations with the U.S. in 1967 after accusing Washington of aiding Israel in the six-day war. Yemen's resumption of relations was announced in a broadcast from the Yemini capital of Sanaa shortly before Secretary of State William P. Rogers ended a brief visit there.

Mr Fischer faces a deadline set for noon tomorrow to be in Reykjavik for his match with Spassky. If he does not show up by noon tomorrow Fischer will be disqualified and lose the right to chal-Z 1 the Russian.

The 2 24-game match was sup- posed to start yesterday but was postponed by FIDE. Slater, chairman of Slater Walker Securities which has worldwide business affairs, has proposed a package con- taining several alternative offers. I'rize Money One is to double the prize money for the match which is now $125,000. The winner 2 would get $78,125 de present terms. An increased 2' prize would mean that the winner gets $156,000 and the loser $104,000.

"The money is mine," said Slater. "I like chess 2 and have played it for years. Many want to see this match 2 and everything has been ar- ranged. If Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed." TTie alternative is to give a straight $130,000 extra to the winner making his prize money up to $203,000. "The idea is to remove the problem money from Fischer and see if he has any others," said Slater.

Fischer Odds-On London bookmaker Wil-Iliam Hill made Fischer is on the scene waiting MAX EUWE Intermediary odds-on favorite to defeat Spassky and gain the world championship. Fischer was quoted at 2-1 which means one dollar paid out for every two dollars bet. Spassky was quoted at 6 to 4 against, meaning $6 won for every $4 bet. Officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation obviously were angry at Fischer. One member of the federation called Fischer's gambit "a blatant attempt at extortion."

1 for Bobby Fischer -AP Photo Hope Seen In Pilot Walkout MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Northwest Airlines and striking pilots resumed negotiations today and a union spokesman said "things might start to move." Both the Air Line Pilots Association- and the company say they are inessential agreement on salary terms for pilots, a 26.7 percent increase in pay and fringes over three years. Still to be resolved are such policy matters as crew rest and work days, the union said. Minimum Rest ALPA said pilots agreed to 13-hour days, but the company "insists that the pilots must work a 14-hour day and proposes that the minimum crew rest period be shortened to eight hours," from the current overnight rest of nine hours, 15 minutes. Northwest is accepting flight reservations for July 10 and beyond, but neither side has given assurances the strike will be over by then. Northwest also will bgiri two daily round-trip flights to Chicago tomorrow, manned by supervisory personnel.

The move was made under an agreement reached Saturday between Northwest and the striking An airline spokesman said Northwest has laid oft "a very substantial majority of its 8r00 nonstrikin" cm-p loves because of the strike. Queen Finds IJig Jel Mleganl LONDON (AP) Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne took their first closeup look at Concorde 002. Britian's supersonic airliner today.

"It's elegant," the queen commented after she was shown around the jet by is crew. Across the board, each of the positives about Wallace has risen, with confidence in him personally increasing the most. Comparably, the negatives about Wallace have also declined. Most notably, the number who view him as an extremist has dropped from 54-34 percent in May to an even-up 44-44 percent in June. The delicacy with which Wallace is treated at the Democratic convention is important; if he should leave Miami Beach and endorse President Nixon, he would be in a position to damage the Democratic nominee signifi-, cantly.

(AP) Author Pearl Buck, winner of the Nobel Prize for her novels of life in China, was admitted to Rutland Hospital with an attack of pleurisy a few days after her 80th birthday.
