Sei'ton of San Diego, whose term MOGADSCIO, Somalia (UPI) A Somali policeman shot and killed President Abdi Rashid All Shermarke yesterday as he toured a drought-stricken area of the East African nation, Somalia radio reported. A special broadcast identified the gunman as Ab-delkader Abdi and said he had been arrested in Los Anod, which is near the scene of the assassination. The Army Imposed a 12-hour curfew beginning at dusk throughout the nation, and Radio Somalia said troops had "full authority to shoot anyone on sight who behaves suspiciously." First reports, however, indicated the assassination was not politically motivated.

At the United Nations, Somali sources said Somalia's premier, Mohamed a i Ibrahim Egal, would fly home from a visit to California to take over his government following the assassination of the president. The sources said the U.S. government was providing a plane for Egal from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C. sized nation is one of the poorest in Africa with a gross national product of less than $200 million. Shermarke was Somalia's first prime minister after it was granted independence from Britain in 1960, and his term in office through June 1964 was marked by a middle course between East and West in foreign policy.

Archbishop Revieivs Synod's Position whatever his right to rule alone, should, as a practical matter, seek and follow the advice of his fellow bishops increasingly and organically in legislating on major problems affecting the entire church. At least three prelates have cited the stnrm of dissent that followed the July, 19 68 ROME Terence Cardinal Cooke, archbishop of New York, urged the Roman Catholic Episcopal Synod yesterday to consider the present period of "stress and strain" in the church "frankly and positively, with great charity." The 48-year-old prelate, first from the United States to speak here, made what most observers construed as a middle-of-the-road approach to the Synod issue of balance between papal power and the collegial power of the bishops as a whole. He spoke on the third day of the extraordinary Synod that seems to be moving towards concensus on the idea that the Roman pontiff, Should Have Docked Before Xoiv Speculation Increases That Russ May Not Build Station in Space no foT?

Cooke modestly limited himself to describing the nature of the questions still to be resolved without presuming to suggest answers beyond a general proposal for "closer cooperative activity and improve communications between the Holy See and the bishops." Cooke said that both the principal of supreme power of the Pope, declared by a church council a century ago, and that of "collegiality" rule of the church by the Pope with the bishops were essential to a church in a time of transition. Sharing of power by the bishops was important, he said, to a world increasingly conscious of the worth of the individual, increasingly suspicious of decisions made unilaterally, of adherence to tradition, of unity for its own sake. On the other hand, he said, in an age of "socialization" and interdependence, papal authority provided the essential coordination of effort. An age of pluralism would threaten to become chaotic unless there were someone "to discern the truth and indicate what is essential to the faith." Cooke went on to list the problems: What is the role of the bishops in guiding the church with the Pope; what is the role of the local bishop uu (5 MOSCOW (AP) The three manned Soviet spaceships carried out navigation maneuvers in orbit yesterday increasing speculation that their mission would not produce the anticipated construction of an orbiting space station. Soviet sources had said that Soyuz 6, 7 and 8 with seven cosmonauts on board would construct the first space platform.

These sources said the ships would come together and start work no later than yesterday afternoon, Mos cow time. But reports on the troika flight by the official Soviet 'news agency Tass described maneuvering and scientific experiments. Since the flight program has not been divulged, it seemed possible that the predicted space feat will take place later. The official announcements said all three Soyuzes were working normally and their crews felt fine. But some evidence pointed toward flight difficulties that could have caused abandonment of ambitious plans for a space breakthrough.

Reports circulated" in Moscow Tuesday night that Soyuz 7 and 8 were to link up as a first step toward construction of a platform. Then, after a long "news blackout, Tass announced only that the two ships had maneuvered close together. A further indication that a space station won't be built during the current space shot came in a Tass report yesterday that said: "The crews tested techniques of i 1 ot i spaceships in the orbit which is necessary in the future for establishment of space laboratories and for ensuring their long-time functioning." The reference to the future implied that construction of a space laboratory was not part of the current seven-man mission. Tass said Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 maneuvered to within 500 yards of each other, making it possible for the crews to observe each other through portholes. Following custom, the two Soyuzes dipped their wing-like solar battery panels to each other.

The men aboard Soyuz 6, flying at an unspecified distance away, watched the rendezvous, the brief report said. In its only broadcast from space so far yesterday Soviet television briefly showed group commander Col. Vladimir Shatalov writing something in a logbook. jaUL Czech Assembly Replaces Dubceli 10 off By PALL HOFMANN New York Times News Service VIENNA Czechoslovakia's Federal Assembly yesterday named a conservative Communist, Dalibor Hanes, to replace Alexander Dubcek as its chairman. The decision marked a "elect" a successor.

According to an official account of the meeting, which was held behind closed doors, 244 of the 275 members of the House of the People attended. Of these, 235 voted for Hanes, six against him and three abstained. There were 126 members of the 150-member House of Nations at the session, of whom 122 voted for Hanes, two voted against him and two abstained. The dissenters and abstainers were not identified. The joint meeting of the Federal Assembly was presided over by Karel Neubert, a deputy chairman, who told members that the Supreme Community Party organs had decided "recall" Dubcek from his post as chairman.

Earlier yesterday, former backers of Dubcek were removed from parliamentary posts in separate meetings of the Assembly's two branches, the House of the People, and the House of Nations. Foremost among those purged was Josef Smrkovsky, who during the liberalization effort was chairman of the National Assembly, the predecessor of the present 425-jnember Federal Assembly.

Hanes, who is 55 years old, is a Slovak like Dubcek, and has a long career as a functionary of the Communist Party apparatus. Vojtech Mihalik, a Communist writer and party activist, was appointed chairman of the House of Nations. This branch of the Assembly, consisting of 75 Czech and 75 Slovak deputies, is designed to give equal representation to both elements of the bina-tional state.

Neither Dubcek nor Smrkovsky appear to have attended the meetings yesterday in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle. Their removal from parliamentary office is a consequence of decisions taken at the end of last month by the Central Committee of the Communist Party. According to some reports that could not be immediately verified, Dubcek, who is 47 years old, has been ill. There are also rumors that he recently entered a hospital to undergo treatment for an unspecified ailment. Dubcek is still a member of the Central Committee, though only "on probation," as regime spokesmen explained after the last plenary meeting of the committee.

Smrkovsky and other liberals were ousted from the Central Committee, which after the recent purges and shuffles has a membership of 135. 71 UPI THophoto ALEXANDER DUBCEK loses post This afternoon the Assembly's two houses met in joint session to "recall" Dubcek from the chairmanship, following instructions from the inner councils of the Communist Party, and Invoices showing your perehaae TO TH CUSTOMER: Thit coupon good on any brand-any aty4a of Prunes from California in bags or cartons.
