The painting, Trichevr or The Cheater, was discovered in 1926. Signed but unrecognized it was hanging in a private collection. Many years of negotiations were carried out before the un named owners agreed to sell the work to the state. La Tour was a 17th century French artist.

the pressing tasks, of our time, tension was to be eased throughout the world. Affirming its stand on the conflict in Southeast Asia, Moscow pledged continued support for North Vietnam, but at the same time asserted its policy of peaceful coexistence, ruling out the use of force in relations' with the United States. As the latest platform for their views on Vietnam, the Russians used a Soviet-Cuban communique issued at the end of a 10-day visit by Premier Fidel Castro, to Havana later in statement contained of support for Cuba, of any new specific There was no immediate confirmation here of a report from London that both the Soviet Union and China had independently advised Hanoi to settle with the U.S. without much further delay. However, for Moscow at least, such an attitude seemed consistent, with the stand restated in Thursdays communique.

North Vietnam is presumed to have been urged to reach A settlement when President Nikolai V. Podgomy of the Soviet Union journeyed to Hanoi last month following President Nixons visit to Moscow in May. that the U.S. and North Vietnam would resume the Paris peace talks on July 13. Thursdays communique gave no indi cation of North Vietnamese concessions It expressed support for Hanois demands for a cessation of American bombings, a prompt withdrawal of Amer ican forces and end of backing for the present Saigon regime.

The Soviet Union thus asserted its Viet nam policy in a far-ranging review of international affairs that was phrased more vigorously than usual, possibly in deference to Castros militant attitudes. budget-related issues," he said. Congress already has voted $6 billion in excess of the Presidents recommendation for the 1973 fiscal year, Timmons said. Timmons met with the President for more than an hour in a meeting also attended by Clark MacGregor, former head of the White House congressional staff and new director of the Committee to Re elect the President and John D. Ehrlichman, assistant for domestic affairs.

Tim maintained that campaign plans were not discussed, but he seemed to be laying the basis for a campaign against the Democratic Congress by his statement. Calling for an up or down vote on the Presidents proposals, Timmons said Nixon sent major reform proposals to Capitol Hill last year and hoped for action this year. "The president doesnt insist on Congress crossing every and dotting every but we urge Congress on July 17 to quickly bring the Presidents proposals up for a vote, Timmons said. The first issue Timmond mentioned was the Presidents proposal for a busing moratorium. He said Congress should act on busing between the Democratic and Republican conventions between July 17 and August 21.

In the same period, Congress also should complete work on the arms limitation proposals, revenue sharing, welfare reform, governmental reorganization and some other pending business, Timmons said. He declined to give a full list or to say which measures the President regarded as essential. He said it would be possible to work out compromises on some administration bills. The President is disturbed that Congress has delayed voting on some key measures, Timmons reported. He seemed to hint at a possible veto of the pending labor-health, education and welfare bill, which he said is over $2 billion over the Presidents budget request.

Asked if the record of Congress would be a major campaign theme of the Presidents, Timmons replied: I hope it wont. But it could be if Con gress continues to ignore the Presidents recommendations. Y-' --rt 4f SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (WP) President Nixon served notice on the Democratic Congress Thursday that he regards its record to date as miserable and that its continued failure to approve his program could become a major campaign issue. Following a meeting with the President, William E.

Timmons, head of the White House congressional staff, said the President will veto bills that substantially break the spending ceiling he has recommended. At a press conference, Timmons also accused some Democratic leaders of following a cynical strategy of sending the President bills with good objectives that exceed his budget request. The President made it clear this morning that that wont work, Timmons reported. Emphasizing the veto threat, Timmons said that Nixon is leading a fight against higher taxes while Congress has acted irresponsibly in a number of cases. We anticipate a tendency after the Democratic convention for Congress to continue to act irresponsibly, particularly on U.S.

Urges Wary Look at Rumors WASHINGTON (AP) A State Department spokesman cautioned Thursday against what he called pendulum swings of speculation on rumors that the Paris peace talks would bring some break in the long impasse in negotiations with North Vietnam. Spokesman Charles W. Bray made the comment after London reports circulated that the Soviet Union and The Peoples Republic of China were trying to persuade North Vietnam to negotiate seriously at the July 13 resumption of the talks in Paris. Bray also gave the same re ply when asked about reports that South Vietnams foreign minister Tran Van Lam ex pected some kind of a break soon at the peace talks. Henry Kissinger, the Presidents national security adviser, told newsmen on his return from his latest trip to China that some kind of policy review was taking place in Hanoi, he assumed.

This iwas based on the return home of Hanois chief Paris negotiator, Xuan Thuy, for con' sultations and new instructions. Politburo member Le Due Tho also returned to Hanoi after stops in Moscow and Peking. Some Communist sources here have affirmed that Moscow was offering good advice to Hanoi to negotiate seriously with the United States.

(AP wire photo) Word on Delegates Awaited Laird Hits McGovern on Defense WASHINGTON (NYT) Sec retary of Defense Melvin Laird Thursday said Sen. George McGoverns proposed $30 billion cut in defense spending would endanger the efforts of the United States to meet its worldwide commitments while negotiating limitations in the arms race.

In a verbal broadside aimed at the frontrunner for the Democratic president nomination, Laird asserted at a news conference Thursday that McGoverns budget substitutes a philosophy of giveaway now, beg later, for a philosophy of strength and a willingness to negotiate throughout the world. Laird insisted several times that he was not making a politically inspired attack, but was responding to congressional requests for a Defense Department analysis of the South Dakotans detailed proposals for military cutbacks. Laird said he had intended to withhold the analysis until after the Democratic national convention, which convenes in Miami next week, but decided to release 71 pages of Pentagon comments after having been criticized Wednesday by Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wisc for withholding the analytical material. The language employed by the defense secretary in his spoken and written comments suggested the kind of rhetorio the Republicans are likely to use should McGovern become the presidential nominee.

In a statement issued by his campaign office, McGovern declared that there would be no white flag flying if I become President of the United States. States. The reply was a reiteration of McGoverns previous rebuttals to criticism of his defense plan. Lower Budget McGovern has proposed a defense budget of about $54.8 billion by the fiscal year starting in mid-1974. That is, $29.2 billion below the Nixon administrations current budget proposal, priced in the anticipated value of the dollar in the 1974-75 period, according to the Pentagon analysis.

Laird characterized such large cuts as tantamount to a white Sag of surrender, an expression he first used when testifying before Proxmire appropriations subcommittee on June 5. If implemented, he charged, the McGovern cuts would: Torpedo the prospects for a successful second round of arms-control neegotiations with the Russians; increase the chance that Japan and other allies would develop nuclear weapons fearing that the protective nuclear umbrella of the U.S. was being removed; doom any possibility of successful mutual troop reductions in eastern and western Europe; increase the chances for a direct military confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the Middle East; and impel our allies and friends to turn away from us in political, economic and military relationships, and to move toward Accommodations with other powers that threaten their basic interests.

MIKE GRAVEL ENDICOTT PEABODY V.P. Race Adds Fuel to Session MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The Democratic party, already facing one of its strangest conventions in years, has seen another weird ingredient added a public fight over the nomination for a vice president The vice presidential nomination is traditionally held to be the personal choice of the partys choice for president, but this year two men are waging a battle between themselves for the position. Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska and former Massachusetts Gov.

Endicott Peabody not only are challenging each other, but also the practice of letting the head of the ticket choose his running mate. Fights Tradition Gravel, a maverick often at odds with his Senate colleagues of both parties, told a news conference In Washington Thursday he wanted the delegates to have a chance to reject the rubber stamping of the presidential nominees choice. Many delegates told me, Gravel said, they will not sit back dutifully, as in the past, waiting until the presidential nominee magnanimously and at the last minute either makes his choice known or throws open the convention for the selection of a vice presidential nominee. Peabody, who has been waging his unusual campaign for several months, told reporters as he opened his Miami Beach headquarters that now for the first time in a long time we will have an election of the vice presidential nominee. While Gravels campaign has been one mostly of talk, Peabody has been driving for the nomination with verve and at only slightly less cost than some presidential aspirants.

He has a headquarters trailer right next to that of presidential hopeful Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, 70 hotel rooms are reserved for his staff and he has spent $100,000. The payoff, unofficial and unconfirmed, is a Peabody claim that I know over 500 delegates who support my campaign.

George McGoverns contested California delegates, while the politicians did business as usual and lined up rival forces to battle the issue at the Democratic National Convention. But it remained unclear whether the courts or the convention would deliver the ultimate verdict in a delegateseating dispute important to the contest for presidential nomination. Sen. Hubert H. Humphreys campaign manager.

Jack Chestnut, said there may yet be a convention floor contest over the California delegate sweep McGovern won in a primary election, lost in the party Credentials Committee, and regained in a federal appeals court ruling. At least 151 of the 271 California delegates are at stake, and on them hinge McGoverns hopes for first-ballot victory in his quest for White House nomination. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger stayed implementation of a lower court ruling returning to McGovern the 151 votes the Democratic Credentials Committee took away. Burger was contacting the other eight justices to determine whether there was sufficient support for an extraordinary special session of the court, something that has happened only three times before.

Chestnut said Humphrey and his allies in the effort to deny i McGovern the 151 California votes will abide by the law of the land, once the courts decide and their lawyers interpret what it is. But he indicated tha1 Humphrey lawyers will be looking for leeway to take their case to the convention floor. Whats one mans loophole is another mans right, be said. Pierre Salinger, a McGovern aide, said the front-runners forces are operating on the assumption that there will be a convention vote on the seating issue. That means counting delegates, checking commitments, and applying political persuasion.

Both sides were at it. We think we have the votes to win, Salinger said. Mike Maloney, a top Humphrey strategist, claimed the coalition majority of rivals and critics aligned against McGovern would fashion a substantial margin to deny him the disputed California votes. At issue in the seating controversy is the winner-take-all system under which McGoverns California primary plurality awarded him all 271 nominating votes. The Credentials Committee voted instead to aporticn the delegation among all the primary candidates on the basis of their popular vote shares.

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., ruled Wednesday that the par degrees warmer than the 50 mark reached Wednesday morning. Also in the torrid zone Thursday were such Inland Empire points as Ephrata, with a high of 98; Yakima, 97; Tri-Cities, 97; Omak, 92; and Missoula, 91. The Dalles, which had a 102 reading Wednesday dropped to 83 while Seattle slumped to 65 from S3. KalispeU, at 84 was also comparatively cool.

A look at die weather charts revealed that Spokanes warmest day of 1968 was a 101 reading posted on July 6, an all time record for that day of the year. Julys warmest day ever was in 1928 when a 108 was posted on the 26th of the month. That was the hottest official reading ever in the city until Aug. 4, 1961 when the mark was equalled. Early Votes Favor O.K.

of IWA Pact VANCOUVER. B.C. (CP) Early returns Thursday night indicated the 28,000 striking coast members of the International Woodworkers of America will approve a back-to-work settlement by a narrow margin. An unofficial count of voting by the Vancouver local of the IWA showed 1,166 in favor of a proposed new contract, 780 against. In New Westminster, the unofficial count was reported to be 1,113 in favor, 1,115 against.

Since the executive of both the Vancouver and New Westminster locals had urged rejection, the apparent approval in Vancouver and virtual standoff in New Westminster was seen as a pointer to over-all approval. IWA Regional President Jack Moore said he was confident the over-all voting in the nine coast local would approve the two-year settlement package worked out by IWA negotiators and forest industrial relations, bargaining agent for 115 forest companies. The new agreement would give workers a 362-cent-an-hour raise now, a similar increase next June, plus improved fringe benefits. It would bring the base rate, for laborers, to now and to $4.45 next June. WASHINGTON (NYT) -President Nixons chief political strategists believe he has an excellent chance of making deep inroads this year into the traditionally Democratic vote of the American Jewish community.

The Presidents political aides also believe that a significant amount of the funds that American Jews regularly contribute to Democratic presidential campaigns wiill be diverted this year to the Republican campaign. WASHINGTON (NYT) -Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird attacked Sen. George McGoverns proposed $30-bil-lion cut in defense spending, declaring that the Democratic presidential candidates budget substitutes a philosophy of give-away now, beg later, for a philosophy of strength and a willingness to negotiate throughout the world. Laird insisted his criticism was not politically inspired.

(AP) A U.S. District Court jury deliberated less than an hour Thursday, then found a young man guilty of air piracy in the hijacking of a jetliner to Cuba more than three years ago. Judge Lloyd F. MacMahon immediately sentenced Ronald T. Bohle, 24, Michigan City, to 20 years imprisonment, the minimum term permitted under the air piracy statute.

Defense attorneys said they would file an appeal with the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. At the outset of the week-long trial, the defense admitted that Bohle forced an Eastern Airlines plane en route from Miami, to Nassau to divert to Cuba Jan. 9, 1969. But, it contended, Bohle suffered from mental illness at the time and thus could not legally have had criminal intent in his actions.

The trial was marked by much psychiatric testimony. Bohle appeared visibly shaken but composed when the jury of seven men and five women announced its verdict. His parents were among a handful of spectators in the courtroom. The conviction was Bohles second on the air-piracy charge.
