Since Kosygin's arrival in of experts who figured the Friday meeting could only be a token one at best, considering how much difficulty the chiefs had all week over whether or where to get together. As it turned out their first session at Hollybush, the brownstone residence of the Glassboro State College president, began with a handshake and ended with Johnson and Kosygin smilingly facing newsmen and a cheering crowd. Kosygin concurred with Johnson's statement that their talks ranged over such issues as the Middle East crisis and Vietnam and that "we agreed it is now very important to reach international agreement on a nonproliferation treaty." Presidential press secretary George Christian said the two leaders developed an understanding on the central question in the Middle East "Israel does, of course, exist as a they disagreed on other points.

Christian said Johnson hopes for a consensus on the other Middle East issues. He also reported that Secretary of State Dean Rusk, assigned to meet next week with Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, is optimistic about chances for U.S.- Soviet concurrence on the draft of a proposed treaty to bar the spread of nuclear weapons.

But after the Glassboro parley, Johnson hailed "the spirit of Hollybush." He told a Democratic group in Los Angeles that this is the spirit of "reasoning together."

Thomas J. Dodd, censured by his colleagues for personal use of campaign funds, vows to serve out lus current term and seek vindication from Connecticut voters by running for a third term. "I will be here tomorrow," the white-haired Connecticut Democrat told the Senate after it passed judgment on him Friday. "I will be here every day, doing my work as best as I can do it. Senators need not worry about me running away." Dodd told newsmen he had not planned to run for a third term in 1970 and had promised his wife he would not.

But now, he said, "Everything's changed. I've got to." The Senate rendered its decision on the ninth day of debate, climaxing an agonizing period for the 60-year-old Dodd and bis fellow senators. He became the sixth senator in the nation's history to have his conduct censured demned by his peers. The Senate, by a 92-5 vote, upheld a finding of its ethics committee that Dodd converted to his personal benefit at least $116,083 in campaign and testimonial funds. But two hours later it voted 51 to 45 to drop the bipartisan committee's second Dodd double-billed the Senate and private groups for the same travel expenses.

Dodd earlier said this second count was the one that "gnawed at my heart" the most. If he bad practiced fraud against the government, he said, he should be expelled. Dodd was the second member of Congress this year to be punished for iinancal misconduct. Earlier the House refused to seat Adam Clayton Powell, a Harlem Democrat, on grounds he misused government funds and was contemptuous toward a or con- House committee and New York courts. For Dodd, the punishment of censure will whatever hurt it does to him and his career.

It does not deprive him of any of his rights and privileges as a senator, nor will it take away his chairmanship of the Senate Juvenile Delinquency subcommittee. Adoption of the censure resolution marks "a new start for the Senate," Stennis said. "I hope it is a new start for Sen. Dodd," who, he said, "is really liked by all of us." He renewed a promise that the committee will move as quickly as possible to draft a code of conduct for the Senate's approval. Aside from Dodd himself, the senators voting against censure were two Democrats, Long of Louisiana and Abraham Ribi- coff of Connecticut, and two Republicans, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and John Tower of Texas.
