Dr. Wallace H. Graham, personal physician to the Ss-year-old former chief executive, described Truman's condition as satisfactory. A hospital spokesman said routine examinations were planned, including X-ray studies of Trumans gastrointestinal tract. The spokesman, John Dreves, said Truman was in good spirits as he arrived at the hospital with his wife, Bess, from the Truman home in nearby Independence, Mo.

Dreves said Truman chatted with hospital employes as he was taken to his room in a wheelchair. Dr. Graham said the ailment was related to the intestinal problem which sent Truman to the same hospital for 12 days in early 1971. Dreves said there was no definite indication how long Truman would be hospitalized. The former president had been at Research briefly last Wednesday, when his back was X-rayed for possible injuries after he slipped at his home.

The X-rays were negative, Dreves said at the time. Dr. Graham said in his statement Sunday Truman is doing quite well but a re-examination is indicated periodically. Slitules of I lie Hod Baron replica in Moses Lake, Wash. He plans to fly home to Miami, in the plane in about six days.

Associated Press correspond President of Mormons Dead al 95 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -President Joseph Fielding Smith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints died late Sunday night at the home of a daughter in Salt Lake City, a church official said. He was 95.

Church press secretary Henry Smith said the elderly leader of 3,000,000 Mormons died at the home of his daughler, Mrs. Bruce R. McConkie. The cause of death was not immediately available. The church was Smiths heritage and life, and under such circumstances it was natural that he he chosen president of the church even though he was 93 years old after the death of its ninth leader, David C.

McKay. As president, Smith was viewed by Mormons as mans earthly link to God. Mormon-ism teaches that God continually makes his will known through the church president. Smith's Mormon lineage went back to his grandfather, who was Hyruni Smith, hrother of Joseph Smith, founder of the church. His father was Joseph F.

Smith, the sixth president of the church. As a youth he served as Mormon missionary in Great Britain from 1899 to 1901. He became assistant historian of the church in 1906 and historian in 1921 In 1910, he was named to the Church Council of the Twelve Apostles. Is Approved SIMLA, India (AP) The leaders of India and Pakistan signed an agreement early Monday calling for partial troop withdrawals along their 800-mile common border. Pakistani spokesmen also said he two sides agreed to reduce tension in disputed Kashmir, including troop pullbacks from the explosive ceasefire line there, and that the pact did not include handing over territory taken in the In-dia-Kakistan war last December.

Indian sources maintained, however that the agreement did not call for withdrawals in Kashmir, Gandhi, Ali Bhutto Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan signed the agreement at a hastily arranged ceremony nine hours before Bhutto was scheduled to return to Pakistan, culminating five days of tough summit bargaining at this Himalayan hill station resort. Points Listed Indian sources said other points of the agreement were renunciation of force to settle disputes and the settling of mutual problems bilaterally without calling in third parties. An official of the Pakistan Foreign Office said the agreement also will lead to separate talks on the return of Pakistani prisoners of war sometime between this summit and the next meeting of the two leaders. No date was mentioned for the next summit, which probably would take place in Pakistan. Officials said the agreement would lead to a durable peace between the two hostile neighbors, who have fought four wars since 1947, when Pakistan was carved out of British India and granted independence.

A Pakistani official said the troop withdrawals would occur all along the line. Military sources in Pakistan say India and Pakistan have have been building up their forces along the cease-fire line, particularly in the northern areas where the Indians seized high points controlled by Pakistan before the December 1971 war. That war resulted in creation of the new state of Bangladesh out of the former East Pakistan. The two leaders talked for two hours and went for a walk alone together in the chill air of the Himalayan foothills. Simla is where the partition of India and Pakistan was planned in 1947.

Six hours earlier, Bhutto had told newsmen: There is an unfortunate deadlock. The accord appeared to be a step back from the Indian position, seeking a package solution to the dispute between the two countries, including settlement of the Kashmir problem. Both countries control parts of what was once an autonomous, princely state inhabited by a predominantly Moslem population. Kashmir was ruled by a Hindu maharajah in 1947 when Pakistan was formed. Because of its strategic location between the two countries as well as its borders with the Soviet Union and China, Kashmir was wooed by both sides.

Bhutto had been seeking a step-by-step approach toward a peace settlement.

A prominent Protestant militant was kidnaped Sunday night while on his way back to jail, where he is serving a life sentence for slaying a Roman Catholic barman in 1966. Augustus Spence, 39, was a leader of the Protestants in the Shankill Road district of Belfast when he was seqtnced to-prison. He was granted a two-day parole over the weekend to attend his daughters wedding and to visit his sick mother. Police said Spence was being driven back to the Crumlin Road jail by his brother-in-law when the car was halted by another with three armed gunmen in it. The brother-in-law, Martin Corry, was beaten up and Spence was bundled into the other car and driven off at high speed.
