Proposes Joint Rejection Of Jordan Plan By United Press International Iraq Monday called on the Arab governments and guerrillas to form a unified front against King Hussein's proposal to make the West Bank of the Jordan River a semiautonomous state. Baghdad Radio said the Iraqi plan came in a communique after talks in Baghdad between government leaders and Yasir Arafat, head of Al Fatah, the largest Palestinian guerrilla group. THE FOUR points included unification of the various guerrilla organizations, establishment of a united front of all "progressive" Arab forces, the union of Arab King Hussein denounced countries" to form one military front against Israel and closer rela- 33,000 Marchers Begin Israeli's 71-Mile Parade BEIT EL, Occupied Jordan (AP) The sound of more than 66,000 feet echoed through the spring-green hills of Judea Monday as Israel's 18th annual three-day march began. More than 1,000 foreigners, including groups from the United States, Switzerland, England and Denmark, joined more than 32,000 Israelis on the 71-mile hike, which ends in a parade through Jerusalem on Wednesday. THE FIRST day's line of march took the hikers through the Israeli-held West Bank of the Jordan River.

Israel's chief of staff, Lt. Gen. David Elazar, explained the meaning of the March Sunday night at an opening ceremony: "You are fulfilling the biblical injunction of pilgrims to go up by foot to Jerusalem, the holy city." THE MARCH, sponsored by the Israeli armed forces, replaced the annual independence day parade two years ago. Among the foreign marchers was a 27-member contingent of the New York City Police Department's Jewish Shromrim Society. A spokesman for the group, Martin Turetzky of Nanuet, N.Y., assigned to the 40th Precinct in the South Bronx, said, "One of the main reasons we're here is to upset the image of the American Jew as a ghetto Jew." "WE WILL walk along with the rest of them.

Anyway, what's 70 miles for a cop? We walk hundreds of miles a year and we trained three months in Central Park for this one." Maureen and Joe Corinne of Newton, and half of their 60-member group from the Boston area, are on their second Israel march. "Don't ask me how I feel until I have walked the first 20 miles," Mrs. Corinne said. "I may not be SO excited then." THE LARGEST group of foreign marchers 500 came from Switzerland. "I've always wanted to meet the Jewish people and see the Middle East," said one of them, Marlies Hafliger.

"This seems like the best way to do it." Israel Builds Navy To Match Egyptians WASHINGTON (AP) The Israeli Navy is building a force of big missile-firing boats in an apparent bid to overcome an Egyptian edge in the Red Sea, Pentagon sources report. The move, raising the Mideast arms race another notch would enable the Israeli Navy to shield shipping bound for Elat, Israel's important southern port. In the view of U.S. naval experts, the six boats under construction would put the Israelis in shape to challenge the Egyptian Navy's Red Sea force, made up principally of Chess Title Play Starts On June 22 AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands (AP) Chess officials decided Monday that the world title match between champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and his U.S. Challenger, Robert Fischer, will begin in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, on June 22.

With the title goes $138,500 in prize money, per cent to the winner and the remainder to the loser, a spokesman for the International Chess Federation said. After 12 games, the match switches to Reykajavik, Iceland, where the title contest will be continued on Aug. 6. The details were worked out at a meeting of representatives of the Yugoslav, Icelandic, Soviet and American chess federations. If the match ends in a 12- 12 draw, Spassky will retain his world title and the prize money will be evenly split.

The matches will be played three times a week. The last Belgrade match is scheduled for July 18. If the match goes the full stretch of 24 games, the last game will be played in Reykjavik on Aug. 31, DEATHS SS General Who Aided Goering MUNICH, W.

Police Car Puts Brake On Runaway LOS ANGELES (UPI) When California Highway Patrol Officer J. M.

Kielbasa pulled alongside a speeding truck bearing down on a busy intersection the driver motioned that he had lost his brakes. Kielbasa, 23, pulled his patrol car in front of the runaway one-ton truck loaded with gravel and gradually applied his brakes. When the truck bumped into the rear of the car, Kielbasa braked heavily, slowing both vehicles. They came to a stop just a few feet from the busy intersection of Doheny Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard. The patrol said Kielbasa was first alerted Thursday when he saw the truck run a red light on Sunset Boulevard and turn sharply down Doheny Drive, which runs down a steep hill to Santa Monica.

The officer turned on his red light, then his siren as the truck rumbled down the hill at more than 40 miles an hour. No one was injured and damage to the patrol car was estimated at $30.

Private interment. tions between Arab and socialist nations. In Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir Monday described as "totally without foundation" reports that Hussein's plan resulted from negotiations between Jordan and Israel. "There have been no contacts or preliminary negotiations with Jordan in connection with the plan announced by King Hussein last week," Mrs. Meir said.

"All reports circulated on the subject of preliminary contacts and meetings are entirely without foundation." CHINESE Foreign Minister Chi Peng-fei denounced Hussein's plan as "a plot aimed at splitting the unity of Palestinian and other Arab peoples," Peking's New China News Agency reported. Chi made the statement at a meeting with a group of Arab diplomats in Peking Saturday. China has sided' with the Palestinian guerrillas trying to reclaim Israel as part of its policy of supporting what it calls 'national liberation' movements. None of the other major powers the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain or France has publicly endorsed or opposed Hussein's plan, announced Wednesday. The Arab world has rejected the plan.

THE EGYPTIAN People's Council (parliament) Sunday night rejected Hussein's move in a resolution, accusing him of "subservience to colonialism and imperialism." The resolution came after Eygptian Foreign Minister Murad Ghaleb denounced the proposal saying, "When the Jordanian government gives itself the right to do what it likes with the Palestinian people without consulting them and when are still under occupation, then it is they, chasing illusions instead of fighting the occupation and distributing spoils that it has not won." JORDAN announced Monday that Hussein would hold a press conference Thursday. In Beirut, Lebanon, Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba said he did not think war would break out "because the Arabs suffer from an inferiority complex toward (Israel) and because and modern know-how American are at weapons Israel's disposal." He criticized Arab states for talking and not acting.

Thais Spinning More Tales About Terrorist Helicopters By JACK FOISIE Miami Herald- Los Angeles Times Wire BANGKOK, Thailand That elusive, night-flying helicopter, nationality unknown, is back over northern Thailand, daringly supplying war material to barefooted "Communist terrorists." At least Gen. Prabhas Charusathira says it's so, and who is to argue with Thailand's "strongman?" Prabhas, who heads both the army and the Ministry of Interior, has been reporting the presence of mysterious "enemy" whirlybirds since at least 1966, although he concedes that none have ever been shot down and few have been "clearly" sighted. For the last several years, in fact, the insurgent air force hasn't been mentioned. But, now that the northern insurgency has noticeably increased, the tubby general is exhorting his anti-aircraft gunners to keep a sharp lookout and a ready radar.

"HELICOPTERS supporting the terrorists only fly here at night," he told a press conference the other day. "This makes it difficult BRIDGE charles goren rewarded with a handsome profit on the deal. West got off to the most effective lead of the ace of hearts, followed by the queen. South covered with North's king and East ruffed with the three of spades. The shift was to the jack of clubs.

South played the queen which lost to West's king to complete the defensive book. West exited with the jack of hearts ruffed by declarer and after the latter drew the outstanding trump, he finessed the jack of diamonds. When this lost to East's queen, South scored the deal up as a washout. Declarer could have assured success by merely refusing to cover West's queen of hearts at trick two-permitting the latter to hold the trick. If the continues the suit, East will presumably ruff the king, but now South can overruff, draw trumps and take the diamond finesse with complete confidence.

Even if East turns up with the queen, it is the third and final trick for the defense, for now North's diamond suit provides a discard for the queen of clubs and declarer has the rest of the tricks. "If East ruffs the second round of hearts to make the club shift, South can put up the ace, draw trump and then cross over to the king of diamonds to discard the queen of clubs on the king of hearts. The key to the hand was for declarer to protect his club holding from attack before he was in position to take full command of the proceedings. HEALEY RUTH 78, of Miami passed away Sun.

Newspaper Loses TV In Boston BOSTON (UPI) Boston's newest television station WCVB-TV is now on the air, but the fate of one of the city's four major newspapers the Boston Herald Traveler remains in doubt. The new station, operated by Boston Broadcasters, Inc. (BBI) began broadcasting Sunday. BBI took over operation of Channel 5 in Boston from WHDH-TV, owned by the paper's parent Herald Traveler after years of hearings and legal maneuvering for the television license to the station. The Herald Traveler Corp.

had claimed in a court appeal that the newspaper. was supported in part from profits from WHDH-TV and that loss of the station could force the company to close down the paper. But Harold Clancy, publisher of the Herald Traveler, said no decision has been made to close the, newspaper and he pledged his aid to WCVB-TV during the transition period. The battle for the television license reached the U.S. Supreme Court: three times and bcame the longest administrative case in U.S.

History. WHDH-TV had been operating the station for 14 years, but the Federal Communications Commission awarded to: BBL in 1969 and the WHDH-TV license, appeal to the Supreme Court was rejected last Friday. WCVB-TV began its broadcasting with the standard Sunday morning fare of children's and religious shows. The last show on WHDH-TV was the movie "Fixed Bayonets." No Stork Here, Says Lady, 85 GOXHILL HAVEN, England (UPI) Elizabeth Wright, an 85-y a r-old widow, said she has complained to medical authorities because ambulance men called at her home one night and tried to take her to the maternity hospital. She said they left.

when she pointed out her age. Hospital officials said the ambulance men called at the widow's home thinking she was Diane Wright, a pregnant young housewife who lives nearby. The beliefs of Gen. Prabhas always are breathlessly in the Thai press. But among his generals in the insurgent areas, there is usually only embarrassed silence when asked for confirmation that the "Communist terrorist" arsenal includes the helicopter.

A snort was the reply from Lt. Gen. Samran Phaetyakul, who commands a army presently attacking a guerrilla stronghold in north central Thailand. AMERICANS, who operate some of the world's most sophisticated radar at U.S. airfields in Thailand, track all aerial movement against the possibility of MIG attack from North Vietnam.

But they've never detected any unidentified helicopters, it was learned. "Like a flying saucer, I'll believe it when I spot the wreckage," an American intelligence officer said. So, until one of the mysterious choppers is hot out of the sky, it appears that Gen. Prabhas' tales of airborne insurgents will have to join a long list of titillating reports, which neither newsmen nor anyone else is able to confirm. A classic example of elusive combatants occurred in the Korean War, when there were incessant reports that "seven foot Mongolians" had joined North Koreans and Chinese troops fighting the United Nations Army.

Such towering enemy were usually "seen amid the whirl of combat and the shroud of ridgetop fog. BUT AFTER a six-foot U.S. correspondent saw the body of his first "Mongolian giant," he said, "Hell, that guy's smaller than I Thereafter, he referred to them only as "large Mongolians." In the Vietnam war, the oft-reported but elusive -participant was the "Chinese adviser" to North Vietnamese troops. Countless claims came from American infantry, platoons that they advisers with "large, melonshaped heads." But after intelligence experts hurried to examine the bodies, the verdict always was that the faces were merely swollen, the effect of death. ALLIED military briefers in Saigon were happy to tell newsmen of battles in which "reluctant" Viet Cong troopers had been found chained to their machine guns.

But search though we did, we never found a Viet Cong captive who would admit to such an embrace, or any machine guns bearing chains. It was the same frustration when checking out reports that "the fanatical enemy soldiers had been given women, dope and alcohol" before the battle. This was a reportable item the first time a general said it was based on prisoner interrogation. But we never found the prisoner to tell it to us.

AT THE MOMENT, Israel has about a dozen lightly armed patrol craft in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. Although they maintain powerful naval forces in the Mediterranean, neither the United States nor Russia is in position to bring that major strength to bear in the Red Sea because of the Suez Canal still is blocked. The United States keeps only a small show-the-flag force of two destroyers and a command ship in the Red Sea area.

Russia operates about 16 naval vessels in the vast Indian Ocean, and some of these could be sent into the Red Sea in an emergency. Construction of the six new missile boats in another example of the way Israeli engineers modify foreign weapons to their own needs. In this case, the Israeli Navy is reported improving on the design of a dozen Saar-class boats bought from France before the Paris government cut off sales of arms to Israel. The Israeli version will be about 30 feet longer than the original 150-foot French-built Saars, extending their range well beyond the 800-mile cruising reach. THE ADDITIONAL space also will accommodate refrigeration equipment for food supplies SO that the boats can stay out on patrol longer, U.S.

sources said. The new boats will be more heavily armed than the earlier Saars, U.S. sources said, with 76mm guns mounted on boats on bow and stern to complement Israeli-made Gabriel missiles, torpedos and smaller guns. The Israelis have provided few details about the Gabriel, but it is known by U.S. experts to be a radar-aimed weapon of what is called a "sea skimmer" type.
