They said they had strict instructions from Washington to say nothing about the details of the Nixon trip or its preparation. Silence was maintained on the activities of a White House advance party, which arrived in Moscow on Wednesday to plan the Soviet tour. The advance group was settling such questions with the Russians as communications, motorcade routes, timetables, press arrangements and personal security.

Meanwhile the White House announced today that Nixon will visit Leningrad and Kiev after his summit talks in Mos- Press secretary Ronald Zie-gler, in announcing that the president and Mrs. Pat Nixon would visit Leningrad and Kiev following their scheduled Moscow stay, volunteered that this would be the chief executive's fourth visit to the Soviet Union.

MOSCOW (AP) In apparent reprisal for resumption of U.S. bombing of North Vietnam, the Soviet Union has downgraded the status of President Richard Nixon's scheduled visit here next month, Communist sources reported today. Instructions have been issued to the information organs of the Communist world to refer henceforth to the visit as a "summit" and not as a "state visit," the sources said. Diplomats from countries friendly to the Soviet Union were surprised at the news. They said that up until very recently senior Soviet officials had been telling them that Nixon's May 22-29 trip to Russia would a state visit.

The difference between a state visit and a summit meeting is more than a fine distinction in diplomatic protocol. With all its ceremony intended to convey respect for the visitor, a state visit symbolizes a movement together of two nations, in this case the world's two greatest powers. It suggests an advanced degree of co-operation' between tire two states, or at least establishment of the basis for future co-operation. Unlike the state visit, one diplomat commented, a summit meeting can be held anywhere. The purpose of a summit is usually to deal with urgent current problems, to relieve some of the daily irritation of the global confrontation.

One experienced Asian diplomat said "a state visit is Agnew hits Nixon 4 policy criticism WASHINGTON (A -Vice-president Spiro Agnew today said President Richard Nixon's Democratic critics have staked their credibility "and some of them their political future" on the failure of the Nixon policies in Vietnam. "If there is a collapse in Saigon, if there is a Communist takeover then they will have been proven right," Agnew told the convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Agnew labelled as reprehensible and preposterous the charges of some Democratic presidential aspirants that Nixon's bombing of North Vietnam's Haiphong is a dangerous escalation of the war. "Let me say simply that as an American I am appalled at the conduct of American leaders who keep their peace while a Communist invasion takes place and then rise up and slander an American president for taking the necessary military action action consistent with a firm, bipartisan commitment antedating his term of office to halt that aggression." and is costing the company $2.6 million a day. Trouble hit the Dagenham plant Wednesday when the management switched two men off a production line, saying it was overmanned.

Eighty workers on the line said they were stopping work until the two men were reinstated and the dispute rapidly spread through the plant. No cars have been completed since Wednesday.

Robertson had his lawyer, Bill Morris, make submissions, on his behalf. 1 The tall, dark, handsome Robertson did not dispute the facts as presented by the Crown.

"But it was like this, Your Honor," Morris said in effect. HAMILTON (CP) William Robertson, 25, an ambulance attendant, appeared in provincial court Thursday to explain he married his second wife without divorcing his first.

But she never followed through with the final stage, a decree absolute.

Robertson himself, his lawyer said, obtained the final divorce in February, 1972. But on Nov. 12, 1969, he had married the second woman, believing her to be pregnant and that he was the father. The second woman, Morris said on Robertson's behalf, knew that he was married but her. father was "making things difficult." The second wife had her marriage declared null and void last month on the grounds that Robertson had not been in a legal position to marry her.

In the meantime, she had had a miscarriage. That left Robertson free as he thought, to marry Wednesday for the third time. "He's an anxious man," commented Judge Tuchtie. "There are reasons, Your Honor," said Morris. "There is a child." "A really amazing gentleman," said Judge Tuchtie.
