Senior officials were shaken by the move the latest surprise in Carters self-declared turning point which left the government in Umbo, The 34 top officials affected said UttleSn pubUc beyond confirming that they had been asked Tuesday to tender their resignations. White House press secretary Jody Powell said the offers, made orally and not in writing, would be considered carefully and expeditiously by the president. Cabinet secretaries were led to beheve they would hear whether Carter would keep them on "in two or three days," one source said.

Another source said the presi dent's decision would come sometime "this week. Both sources asked not to be identified. One White House official, reflecting the extremely secretive nature of the days developments in this city that thrives on rumors, said, "Whatever the presidents decisions may be, I can assure you he is keeping them to himself. The number of resignations the president will accept remained unclear, but one White House official said "the president will accept some. Said another: "It shows he means business.

It isnt fatuous." Members of Congress caUed Tuesdays announcement "strange and "curious. Republican reaction was the harshest, but several Democrats also questioned the presidents actions. Powells brief announcement that several high members of the administration had tendered their resignations left unanswered several questions: What motivated the mass offer? Were the resignations solicited? And by whom, the president or his chief aides as they seek flexibility in restructing the administration to bolster Carter's re-election odds? Dodging such questions, one official who asked for anonymity, would say only that the resignations were offered. Asked why dozens of top people in government would be moved simultaneously to offer to quit without prodding, the official responded: "We felt it to be an appropriate step to take at this time. Besides the 12 Cabinet officers, resignation offers came from all presidential assistants and special assistants, including Hamilton Jordan, Carter's de facto, but untitled, chief of staff.

When the smoke clears, Jordan is likely to emerge with that title. Powell, a Georgian like Jordan, could also be given expanded authority. Speculation on those most likely to leave the Cabinet focused on embattled Energy Secretary James R. Schlesin-ger, who has said he would leave before Carter opens his anticipated re-election campaign. Treasury Secretary W.

He feel the government of Nicaragua went back on the agreement we reached with them," Pezzullo said, adding that Urcuyo understood the nature of the agreement. He said the expectation was that Ur-cuyo's government would slay in power only a short time, a cease-fire would be called, the junta would be called in to Nicaragua and the conflict would be ended. He said a reduced staff would remain at the embassy, primarily for relief activities and protection of Americans remaining in Managua.

He did not say how many staff members would stay. The embassy lobby was packed with staff members, and suitcases were being thrown into a truck. The embassys Marine guards were in civilian clothes, and Pezzullo's security men were seen putting on bulletproof vests for the ride to the airport. They rode in a car behind his. Sources close to the junta said Violeta de Chamono, Sergio Ramirez Mercado and Alfonso Kobelo Callejas left San Jose, the Costa Rican capital, shortly after midnight for Leon, Nicaragua's second largest city 55 miles northwest of Managua.

Leon was the first city captured by the Sandinista National Liberation Front in the offensive that resulted in the resignation Tuesday of Somoza and the end of the 42 year-old Somoza family dictatorship. The sources in San Jose said the three junta members planned to declare Leon the provisional capital of Nicaragua. They said one of the two other junta members, guerrilla leader Moises Hassan Morales, was in Ma-saya, in southern Nicaragua, and'the other member, Daniel Ortega Saavedra, was in another Nicaraguan city held by the rebels. They said the three junta members would send for the two men as soon as the government was set up in Leon. In addition to I and Masaya, the (Continued on Page 5, Col.

3 MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) U.S. Ambassador Lawrence Pezzullo left Nicaragua today, saying he was recalled because the United States feels the new Nicaraguan government went back on an agreement to turn over power to the rebel junta that drove President Anastasio Somoza into exile. Pezzullo left the embassy for the airport and a flight to Panama escorted by security men in bulletproof vests. He said the move was not a break in relations. Nations often use the recall of an ambassador to express displeasure at the actions of another government.

In this case, the recall came a few hours after members of the junta flew to Nicaragua to establish a provisional government outside Managua. The guerrilla movement threatened a bloodbath unless Somozas handpicked successor, Francisco Urcuyo, abandoned his declared intention to hold on to the presidency.

Population trends raise "serious questions about the need to build a new $20 million prison, said Swan, noting he earlier had asked Gov.

Lee Dreyfus to veto that portion of the state budget. Dreyfus has indicated he may veto the section of the budget bill which would allow communities to veto construction of the prison. But the governor has said the public supports a new prison. Swan said the Division of Corrections has corrected many of the problems found by his study commission. He said it was significant that inmates and prison staff members agreed on many of the problems.

They agreed staff training, uniform parole guidelines, uniform enforcement of prison rules and better medical training were badly needed, according to Swan. Training programs have been implemented, and a new Bureau of Institutional Health has becme operational, he said. Many important medical program recommendations already have been implemented, he said. By MATT POMMER Capital Timet Saif Writer State Sen. Monroe Swan, D-Mil-waukee, today charged that Wisconsins drive to build a new prison may be a "self-fulfiUmg prophecy that will lead to the jailing of more minorities and poor whites.

Swan said the stale now is forecasting prison inmate increases the 1980s "will come from the non-white Wisconsin community with most coming from the Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha black communities." Swan, the only black ever to sit in the State Senate, also charged the Division of Corrections has done little to recruit non-whites as guards. The prison population is 50 percent nonwhite, but the prison staff is only 6.5 percent non-white, he said. Building a new prison and hiring its staff will provide significant pressure to ensure that the facilities are in fact used and consequently that people, particularly poor white people and non-white people are incarcerated, said Swan. His statement came at a morning press conference at hich he released the final report of a special study committee which examined Wisconsins prison system.

Three of the locations are for children using Lapham and Hawthorne schools, which were closed at the end of this school year. But the other three threatened closings affect schools that will continue to operate. The changes have already generated protests aimed at getting the City Council to override the commissions action. The Transportation Commission recommended ending crossing guard services for these locations: At the railroad tracks at 100 South Marquette used mostly by children attending Lowell School; Williamson and Rogers, affecting Arts Pages 50, 51 Comics, crossword Page 54 Consumer Reports Page 53 Dear Abby Page 52 Feature Page Page 49 Good Food Page 52 Natures Kitchen Page 52 Television Page 55 Prison populations are Increasing, but the state's actual population Is 406 below the projections used in the 1977-79 state budget, he said.

Swan said prison populations spurted after a 1972 study committee appointed by then Gov. Patrick Lucey suggested some prisons could be phased out and replaced by community based rehabikation. The response from judges and the Parole Board resulted in a significant increase in persons incarcerated, longer sentences, and parole deferments, said Swan.
