It was a grand night for singing, but composer Richard Rodgers planned only a modest observance of his 70th birthday Wednesday. "My wife has been ill, so we plan to confine our celebration to a small dinner for members of the family," he said in New York. The guests, he said, would include his wife, Dorothy, their two daughters and five of their six grandchildren, who range in age from 4 to 19 years.

The case is being brought by Marcus Shloimov-itz. a Manchester textile merchant, who has been campaigning for years against what he terms "poisonous" references to Jews in dictionaries. Now he is seeking an injunction to restrain Clarendon Press from printing "derogatory and wholly deplorable and unwarranted definitions" in the Oxford Dictionary. Macmillan, Conservative prime minister from 1957 to 1963, came into the picture because he is chancellor of Oxford University.

Senator Edward M. Ken-nedy (Dem.

Police in Moncton recapture escapee His two brothers, who called reporters at the scene a "bunch of vultures," arrived at the Gilliland farm house about 1 a.m. Two hours later after negotiations with police Mr. Gilliland gave up his fight against what he called a "rich man's conspiracy" to deprive him of his home, where he took a stand with his wife and five children. He set up the barricade Monday after shooting four horses from an adjacent riding club which he said ere raiding his garden. One of the animals died.

The barricade was set up to prevent a land administrator from evicting him from the house and property, which are owned by the federal government. Michel Brunet. the land administrator, said Gilliland's lease expired in August, 1971, and he had never signed a new one. He said Gilliland owed $500 in back rent in March, 1971, "and in fact never paid his rent." He said the house had deteriorated to the point where it was no longer worthwhile to rent. Gilliland said he is fighting a rich man's conspiracy because he had heard that his neighbor, Montreal lawyer Andre Masse, wanted 60 acres of the land.

Police said early today an investigation will be held" into Gilliland's allegations. For three days he stationed himself at a second-storey window with a rifle vowing to shoot the first policeman who set foot on his property.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota spent an hour Wednesday evening with George C. Wallace in his Holy Cross Hospital room at Silver Spring, Md. and reported a "positive attitude" on the part of the Alabama governor about the Democratic party and its prospects of victory against President Nixon in the fall.

Humphrey's hospital visit to Wallace, his first since May 15, when Wallace was shot, was principally "to say hello." he told reporters. "He's a leader in the Democratic Party," Humphrey said of Wallace. "He has a host of follow-ers. I treat him with respect." Russian Boris Spassky, who has a reputation for glacial calm, had an outburst of nerves in Reykjavik, Iceland Wednesday, less than a week before he stakes his world chess title against Bobby Fischer of the United States. Spassky stormed off a tennis court and went to his hotel to sulk after three photographers began taking pictures of him with Jivo Nci, a compatriot helping him train for the match.

Meanwhile Fischer failed to show up in New York Wednesday for two flights that were to have taken him to Reykjavik. Finance Minister John Turner began a tour of provincial capitals Wednesday to call for a "voluntary co-ordination" of foreign borrowing to avoid unnecessary pressure on the Canadian dollar. Mr. Turner, following a four-hour meeting with Quebec Finance Minister Raymond Garneau in Quebec said, that he suggested a formal information system be set up between the federal and all provincial governments to make the "orchestration" of their borrowing possible.

People catchers, as the Queen's husband explained to a congress of auto engineers, would be similar in principle to the cow catchers that once adorned railway locomotives.

The duke said the death rate in accidents between autos and pedestrians would be reduced if the walker could be held by the car instead of being thrown to the road.

A searching Royal Air Force plane spotted 70-year-old Sir Francis in his ketch Gipsy Moth about 200 miles off the French coast, heading towards England. He signalled with a flasher lamp: "I have been ill. No rescue. I'm OK." Fears had been expressed for his safety since he set out with 53 other competitors in the singlehanded event 11 days ago and failed to keep radio contact. He had just recovered from an illness when the race started on June 17 from Plymouth, England, to Newport, R.I.

All the yachtsmen have encountered gales and mountainous seas. Sir Francis was sighted Tuesday by a freighter and a reconnaissance plane, but it was uncertain then whether he was abandoning the race. The 65-foot British cutter Strongbow was reported in the lead 1,300 miles from Plymouth after 11 days at sea. This was more than halfway to the finish at Newport, R.i. Major Martin Minter-Kemp took Strongbow past British Steel, which led during the gales of the last few days.
