PRESIDENT NIXON met in White House today with the National Association of Counties. With the President here are Clesson Chikasuye, president of the association, a AMBASSADOR FPOM GUINEA Had Abdoulaye Toure appeared before argent meeting of UN Security Council, accused Portuguese forces of armed aggression on Its capital of Conakry and asked for UN help against the invaders. 0 Portuguese Attack Israel Claims Egypt Air Flights Violate Cease-Fire Agreement UN to Probe Guinea Charge PARIS (UPI)-North Vietr nam and the Viet Cong announced today they will boycott this week's 93rd session of the Vietnam peace talks to protest U.S. air raids on North Vietnam. The talks this week are scNeduled for Wednesday because the usual Thursday meeting day falls on the American Thanksgiving holiday.

Xuan Thuy, the chief North Vietnamese negotiator, called a news conference to announce the boycott the second one called in protest by the Communists. Thuy, who announced he also was speaking for the Viet Cong, demanded that the next session be held on Dec. 3. Both Hanoi and the Viet Cong delegations had angrily denounced the American bombing raids as "an act of war of extreme gravity" and said they were bound to affect the negotiations. They boycotted the talks last May 7 to protest similar U.S.

air action. And when President Nixon did not immediately name a senior diplomat to the frJks following the resignation of Henry Cabot Lodge the leaders of the Communist delegations stayed away for weeks, although lower ranking officials attended. Thuy, in an interview in the Communist line Rome newspaper Paese Sera, said, "We consider the U.S. bombings of Nov. 21 as an act of war of extreme gravity the fact they began at 2:30 a.m.

when the people were asleep clearly confirms that the United States intended to strike at civilians in the framework of a premeditated plan." In commenting on the statement of U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird that the bombings were in reaction to the downing of an unarmed American reconnaissance plane with the loss of two pilots, Thuy asked: "If a foreign plane made a reconnaissance flight over American territory, would the Washington government allow it to do its job undisturbed?" "Every" security violation, every attack against the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, every reconnaissance flight will get the immediate answer it deserves." Thuy said. "If an intensification of the fighting is the objective consequence of the warlike actions of the Americans, it is obvious that the consequences will be felt also in 'he diplomatic Singapore President Dies at 60 SINGAPORE (UPI) President Yusof Bin Ishak of Singapore died Monday at 60 following a long illness, government sources said. No official announcement of his death war aade immediately but flags at city hall, the presidential house and all other public buildings were lowered to half staff.

At the same time Radio Singapore began broadcasting organ hymns. President Yusof died at 7:30 a.m. in the hospital, where he was admitted Saturday, the sources said. He is survived by his widow, Puan Noor Aishah, a son and two daughters. UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -The U.N.

Security Council voted in an emergency session early today to send a mission to Africa to investigate Guinea's charges that Portuguese forces invaded its territory. The council demanded an end to the attack against Guinea, but avoided any identification of the forces as Portuguese. Portugal denied involvement. The vote came shortly after midnight after i'our hours of backstage maneuvering. Secretary General Thant and Security Council President Condemn Bombing Of North SAIGON (UPI) -The Viet Cong tonight threatened reprisals "ten times harsher than the initial offense" for the U.S.

bombing of North Vietnam during the weekend. A communique broadcast by the Viet Cong from a transmitter hidden somewhere in the Vietnamese jungles condemned the American air raids Saturday and Sunday as an "extremely grave act of aggression." "The U.S. imperialists are hereby given the sternest warning that any of their criminal acts against North Vietnam will be determinedly met with severe retaliatory punishment for the South Vietnamese people which will be ten times harsher than the initial offense." Waves of American planes attacked North Vietnamese territory for 28 hours beginning early Saturday morning in raids described by the Pentagon as retaliation for the shooting down of an unarmed American reconnaissance plane No. 13. U.S.

Communiques said the planes attacked North Vietnamese anti-aircraft bases below the 19th parallel Communist accounts said the raiders hit civilian targets and sh uck above the 19th parallel near the Hanoi-Haiphong area. In Cambodia, action was reported on two fronts today and another newsman was reported missing and feared captured by the Viet Cong. Cambodian infantrymen reported killing 55 Communists by sinking four Communist river boats in an ambush less than 15 miles northeast of Phnom Penh. South of Phnom Penh, a task force of 3,000 Cambodian troops launched a counterattack in a mountain pass to retake two government positions on Highway 4 which were seized by Communist units Sunday. The newsman, who was not identified, apparently fell into Communist hands as he accompanied Cambodian troops on a sweep 45 miles northeast of Phnom Penh.

The pass through the Kirirom Mountains at Pich Nil and a Czechoslovak built munitions factory, both about 60 miles southwest of Phnom Penh, were overrun by Communists Saturday. A spokesman in Phnom (Continued on Page 2) which like most of the city has been without electricity since Thursday's typhoon, had its power supply restored Saturday night but it was cut off again Sunday due to the floods. According to relief centers, the toll left behind by Typhoon Patsy as it slashed across Manila and six nearby provinces last Saturday stood so far at 146 dead, 318 missing including 135 fishermen lost at sea and 11,554 injured. In Manila alone, the Red Cross counted 31,382 refugees whose houses were either completely or partially destroyed. Four days after the typhoon hit, 75 per cent of Manila's 3.5 million residents were still without electricity due to hundreds of power poles sheared or toppled by strong winds.

Water supply was partially restored Sunday after emergency repairs of power lines in the city's waterworks system. Relief goods and pledges of assistance reached Manila from the Vatican, the Burmese government and the United States Red Cross. Pope Paul VI, who is scheduled to arrive in Manila Friday for a three-day visit, donated $10,000 for victims of Typhoon Patsy. range while investigating the existence of a security forces checkpoint in Amman. The commission said this "led to the death of one of the security force." It did not explain how the man was killed.

It said it was trying to identify the attackers so they could be handed over to the authorities. The Egyptian Middle East News Agency said in a dispatch from Damascus that Egypt and Syria would hold a summit conference within the next few days. It will be the first meeting between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Syrian Premier Lt. Gen. Hafez Assad since Assad seized power Nov.

13. The dispute between Eban and Dayan concerned the defense minister's proposal that a new cease-fire agreement be worked out that would include hard-to-reverse "physical arrangements." He suggested these arrangements could include mutual reduction of Israeli and Egyptian artillery and armored forces on either side of the canal, leaving only token infantry forces, the political sources said. ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (UPI) The Guinean government said it routed a second landing attack by Portuguese led mercenaries today and that several Europeans including two West Germans were "assassinated" during the fighting. Radio Conakry, monitored here, gave no details on the identity of the European casualties in its news bulletin that followed a communique announcing the rout of the invaders. The broadcast said "The government of the Guinean Republic is sorry to deplore the assassination of several European functionaries or experts including two citizens of the German Federal Republic in the course of the several hours of fighting that opposed the mercenaries to Guinean forces." Earlier, the government-operated radio said the government has sent congratulations to the "heroic forces" that beat back the invaders.

But simultaneously, the broadcast urged the Guineans to "mobilize their forces" and said the crushing of the reported invasion attempt has helped the Marxist-oriented government to "unmask domestic reaction." Radio Conakry gave no details on the new round of fighting around this tropical African capital. It announced the rout of the invaders a few hours after reporting the attempted landing. The broadcast said Portuguese vessels still were anchored in Guinea territorial waters. Conakry Radio said about 350 European and African mercenaries landed early Sunday in a bid to overthrow the leftwing government of President Ahmed Sekou Toure but were repulsed and a number of them captured. There were no details of today's second invasion attempt.

Toure, who has led Guinea since its independence from France in 1958, called on the United Nations to send airborne forces to help repel the invasion. But the U.N. Security Council, after a debate that lasted into early today, decided instead to send a mission to Guinea to investigate the charges. For the first time, however, Conakry Radio hinted Guinea also might face a home-bred conspiracy. In urging Guineans to "mobilize their forces," it said ihe invasion has helped the Marxist-oriented government to "unmask domestic reaction." Toure has thwarted a dozen plots against his government since 1958.

The radio also said the government "demands that Portugal doe- not emerge unpunished from this adventure which must cost it dearly. "Portugal must not forget its adventure in Guinea. It must be punished and chastised in consequence," it said. The Portuguese government denied charges it was involved in the operation as "not having the slightest base." A spokesman in Lisbon said "Portugal already has enough problems created on the frontiers by her neighbors in the African territories to have any interest in seeking others." Guinea, with 3.5 million people in an area of 95,000 square miles on Africa's west coast, is bordered on the north by Portuguese Guinea. There are frequent border incidents between the two nations.

Now You Know By United Press International There have been 170 urban planning projects for Rome in the past 38 years and not one has been put fully into effect. Auto Workers Begin Talks With Chrysler, Ford on New Contract By United Press International Israel said today eight Egyptian planes flew oer Israeli military emplacements in the occupied Sinai Sunday and today in two "grave" violations of the Suez Canal cease-fire line. It protested to the United Nations that the reconnaissance flights violated terms of the truce. Egypt had complained earlier that U.S. U2 spy planes were carrying out Israeli surveillance of Egypt.

A military spokesman in Jerusalem xJd four Egyptian Sukhoi 7 jets had flown over Israeli military emplacements Sunday and that four more Sukhois flew over Israeli positions between Qantara and Suez today. These were the first complaints Israel has lodged since the cease-fire was renewed at midnight Nov. 5. During the first 90-day truce Israel lodged more than a score of complaints of Egyptian violations including moving up Sam missiles closer to the canal. Israeli sources in Jerusalem said Delense Minister Moshe Dayan and Foreign Minister Abba Eban are in sharp disagreement over the conditions for returning to Middle East peace talks.

The semiofficial Cairo newspaper Al Ahram said Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad had protested against reconnaisance flights by American U2 planes along the Suez Canal in a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers in his recent trip to New York. The newspaper said it assumed tne aerial photos were being pnssed to Israel. "In other words, the United States is performing a spying operation in Israel's favor," it said.

In Amman, the Arab Truce Commission said a Jordanian security man was killed in a fresh outbreak of fighting. The commission said one of its military patrols was fired on by a machine gun from close DETROIT (UPI)-The record, thiee-year contract which ended the United Auto Workers strike against General Motors after 67 days went into effect today. Union officials began negotiating with Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler seeking similar pacts. GM agreed to a contract which will cost it at least $2.4 Railroad Talks Resumed WASHINGTON (UPI) -Railroad and union negotiators resumed contract talks today on the basis of a White House panel's recommendations that were rejected by the four unions.

The unions described as inadequate the suggested pay increase of 37 per cent over a three-year period and a strike is threatened for Dec. 11. John P. Hiltz chief railroad negotiator said the extra pay would amount to $1.6 billion annually by 1974. "Those wage increases are pretty high," Hiltz told newsmen just before he went into a meeting with the union negotiators at the office of W.

J. Usery assistant labor secretary who is the government's top mediator in the dispute. Hiltz said earlier that the unions' demand for pay increases of more than 40 per cent over three years, if granted, would bankrupt the carriers who have offered only 13 per cent over three years. Prices Take Upturn on Stock Market NEW YORK (UPI)-Prices added to their opening gains through the second hour today. Turnover was moderate.

Shortly before noon the Dow Jones industrial average of 30 selected blue chips stood at 767.18, up 5.61. Advances maintained a sizeable lead over declines, 848 to 323, among the 1,461 issues crossing the tape. The sharply higher opening was in response to the cut in the prime interest rate by major banks over the weekend. The action was considered a moderate step to expand the money supply, but many observers felt the market's reaction would be restrained. tan, said all available forces were ordered into relief work Sunday nine days after the southern coastal areas were ravaged by a cyclone and tidal waves.

The United States doubled its original commitment of four large helicopters and said four more were en route with 50 patrol boats and 147 soldiers to help dispense blankets, rice, sugar, powdered milk and baby food. Typhoon-Plagued Manila Hit by New Flash Floods George J. Tomeh of Syria consulted today on the details of establishing the mission. The council, in unanimously passing an Afro-Asian resolution calling for establishment of the mission, ignored Guinea's request for a contingent of U.N. troops to assist in driving the remaining foreign troops from its territory.

The United Nations has no standby peacekeeping force, and council members were at any rate reluctant to get involved in such an operation without a full investigation. billion in wages alone.

"Assis- High Court Denies Review Of Ruling on Nude Photos MANILA (UPI) Monsoon rains Sunday and early today caused flash floods and disrupted relief and rehabilitation work in typhoon-stricken Manila. Low-lying areas, including portions of the Manila International Airport, were under water as heavy rains drenched the city and its suburbs for nearly 12 hours. Foreign visitors and returning residents were forced to wade through the flooded airport customs area at the height of the rains. The Santa Crus residential district in downtown Manila, three million people lived in the path of the cyclone and tidal wave that roared in from the Bay of Bengal Nov, 12, and nearly all the survivors need food, clothing and shelter. It is estimated as many as 500,000 may have died.

There were still coastal areas and islands in the mouth of the Ganges River that had not been reached by relief teams. Some of the areas are among the most densely populated rural regions in the world. WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Supreme Court refused today to interfere with a lower court ruling that photos of nude women whatever the pose-are not obscene if no sexual activity is shown. The action by 5-3 vote let stand a federal appeals court decision which reversed the Massachusetts state court conviction of two men on charges of selling and possessing with intent to sell obscene magazines. The court order which is not tantamount to a decision drew dissents from Chief Justice Harren E.

Burger and Justices John M. Harlan and Harry M. Blackmun. They felt the appeal by Massachusetts authorities should have been heard and asserted that state courts should be the ones to decide such issues. Justice William 0.

Douglas did not participate in the case. In other actions, the court: Ruled, 6 to 3, that a state is legally allowed to permit a person accused of first degree murder to plead guilty to a lesser offense to avoid the Relief Operation in Full Swing The British naval vessels Intrepid and Triumph arrived with 600 men, eight helicopters, eight large supply boats and numerous small floatboats. Three French helicopters were also in service. The Pakistan army, which has 40,000 troops stationed in East Pakistan, had been under heavy criticism for not acting faster to aid the stricken area.
