Aerospace Pact Is Discussed By Pay Board WASHINGTON (AP) The Pay Board was expected to order its first wage rollback today, cutting a 12-per-cent raise for aerospace workers, probably to 8 per cent or less. But it appeared to be an open question whether the board would honor its own new rule limiting all pay raises in new contracts to no more than 7 per cent, even in special circumstances. Various sources said all 10 business and public members were determined to vote against the five labor members and order a cut of some amount. Not all of them, ever, were reported ready to roll the aerospace raise back to 7 per cent. A Pay Board spokesman said the panel went into session about 10 a.m., but immediately broke up into separate meetings of labor, business and public members.

The noon hour passed without the board going again into full session. On another matter, the board's five business members were reported ready to press for a legally binding regulation that would automatically cut off future pay raises in old contracts exceeding 7 per cent a year. Business member Virgil Day, a General Electric Co. vice president, said the business members would propose such a regulation during meetings this week.

Nixon in West To Meet Sato SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) President Nixon, in California to meet with Japan's prime minister, flies here today to boost American shipbuilders who face stiff competition from Japanese and European yards. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren told newsmen that Nixon "has a great interest in strengthening the maritime fleet" and noted that Congress has passed administration-backed legislation for heavy federal subsidization of modern vessels that otherwise would be build in shipyards overseas where construction costs are lower. Japan, in particular, has been a major builder of supertankers, a breed of oceangoing giant that has not been constructed in the United States because of higher price tags.

The legislation, enacted in 1970, could open the way for building of such vessels in the U.S. with resultant increases in lagging shipyard payrolls. Nixon, apparently on short notice, decided to visit the San Diego yards of the National Steel and Shipbuilding one of many feeling the burden of lower-cost foreign competition. The President, who gave no advance clue of the specific reason for his visit and informal address, arrived Monday night at his San Clemente home-a 60-mile helicopter flight away from National's yards. On Thursday and Friday the chief executive will be host at San Clemente to Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato.

Because of trade and other differences that have arisen between the United States and Japan, the Nixon-Sato summit is widely expected to be the most contentious of six the President has been holding with leaders of major allies.

Gold Price Rises On Free Markets LONDON (AP) The price of gold rose to record highs for the second straight day today in London and Zurich, the two most important gold markets in the world.

Nixon Attends Ball MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) Billy Graham borrowed a decoration and white vest to wear and danced the cha cha. President William Tolbert came late and stayed late. And Pat Nixon got Liberia's highest decoration at Tolbert's gala inaugural ball Monday night. There was a grand march, with all the distinguished guests promenading. Then dancing after midnight to the music of three bands, including one from Grambling College in Louisiana.

The featured vocalist was Maitta Fahn Bulleh, whose father was released from prison recently by President Tolbert. He had been convicted of attempting to assassinate Tolbert's predecessor, the late President William Tubman. "That was thanks for my dad," she said after singing for Tolbert. The festivities capped Tolbert's colorful inauguration day. There was one sad note, however.

The president didn't dance because one of his eight children died three weeks ago. Mrs. Nixon didn't dance either. Tolbert honored the American First Lady with the Grand Cordon of the Most Venerable Order of Knighthood of the Pioneers of the Republic of Liberia. In an elaborate citation to Thelma Catherine Patricia Nixon, he said that by triumphing over adversity in her early life, she became a living symbol of what the American dream can be." He called her a woman of courage, strength of character and fortitude of spirit" who had excelled in everything she set her hand to.

Mrs. Nixon said she accepted decoration with pride for the American people and it would go in the presidential library as a reminder of mutual respect, affection and love. When Tolbert hung the greenribboned, star-shaped decoration around Mrs. Nixon's neck, he bestowed the cheek-to-cheek embrace traditional here. The presidential party sat at a long table on a stage beneath hand-printed pink signs saying: We love you.

God bless you." The women wore either long gowns or colorful native costumes. The men were resplendent with colorful decorations on their white vests. There were paramount chiefs, the highest tribal leaders, in traditional robes. The party was typical of most inaugural balls-hot and so crowded it was hard for waiters to get around with the refreshments. Graham said he left at home his African Redemption decoration which President Tubman gave him 10 years ago, so he borrowed a similar one, the Star of Africa, from President Tolbert's brother Stephen.

He also borrowed a white vest from him. NEW LOCATION A. L. FOSTER LAWYER 14-A Parsons Plaza 421-2930 Parsons, Kan..
