WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon administration's efforts to prevent an international trade war by negotiating voluntary import restrictions have been gravely threatened by the collapse of talks with Japan. Negotiations to voluntarily limit Japanese imports of woolen and man-made fiber textiles into the United States broke prospects of agreement with other textile exporters waned proportionately- The breakdown is expected to boost chances of legislation now i Bob Zubik Pieisch.

FRIDAY'S SUN will rise at 6:23 Ji.m. and set at 8:26 p.m. quotas based on 1967-68 levels of textile imports. The Nixon administration, argues arbitrary quotas could bring a general trade war with further domestic inflation. However, domestic industries, and labor unions, prin cipally in textiles, shoes and electronics hurt by imports, have complained about foreign competition.

Donald F. McCullough, presi- ient of the American Textile Manufacturers Institute, said the collapse of the U.S.-Japan talks "underscores the nec- cesity for legislation." He urged the administration to support legislation limiting textile imports. Nixon had hoped to persuade some foreign producers to voluntarily restrict imports of certain items. Some minor agreements were reached, but the big textile producers rebuffed the administration. Commerce Secretary Maurice H.

Stans' announcement that three days of talks with Japan's Minister of International Trade and Industry, Kiichi Miyazawa, had failed ended more than 15 months of intensive U.S. efforts to get Tokyo to voluntarily restrain its exports of woolen and man-made fiber textiles to this country. Stans said no effort would be made in the immediate future to reach agreement with other major producers such as Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, but he left open the possibility of future talks with Japan. The breakdown came over Japan's offer of no more than a one year restraint on textile exports. The United States wanted ive years.

Japan also wanted a provision that no extension be asked. Japan also asked for a growth rate of 12 to 13 per cent annually based on averages over the last 10 years. The United States wanted a growth rate of 5 per ent. The quota bill sponsored by Rep. Wilbur Mills, would cover apparel and shoes, as well as woolen and manmade fiber textiles.

Any nation negotiating voluntary restraints with the United States would not be covered by the Mills quotas. Since the quotas would be some 30 per cent below present volume. Our World Secretary of State William P. Rogers was to hold a press conference today with the Middle East as the expected topic. Prior to the conference there were widespread reports of new efforts by the U.S.

By JOHNELLA BOYNTON and BETSY -WEBBER Is vandalism on the increase in Baytown? Or are incidents on the rise simply because our population is increasing at a rapid rate? Officials who deal with crime are cautious in making any claim that malicious destruction of rising faster here than other criminal acts.

Baytown Police Chief John B. Wilkinson says he has no official statistical data, but he feels that vandalism appears to be about the same here as in other towns where he has worked. A survey of 143 cases of vandalism reported to Baytown police since October of 1969 reveals total estimated damages amounting to an extremely high number, compared with a report given to the school board that schools here sustained 5,200 in losses last year be- ause of vandalism. Police department files contain 59 other cases, however, of where no estimate damages was made. Some- imes, the loss was minimal, as the egging of houses or breaking of bottles on property; but usually some inancial loss was incurred, City Sales Tax Nets $138,048 1st Quarter Baytown's revenue from the one per cent sales tax for the first quarter of 1970 is $138,048, City Manager Deily R.

Funding Problem Is Cited WASHINGTON (AP) Transportation Secretary John Volpe has told Congress the government might be forced to nationalize the country's railroads if federal aid is withheld from the Penn Central and other lines. "If we do nothing, and all else fails, we only have the option of takeover of the railroads by the federal government," Volpe said Wednesday while testifying in support of a proposal to provide $750 million in emergency aid for the railways. He told the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee that the Penn Central, which has filed a petition for reorganization under the bankruptcy laws, was badly managed and any government aid would be made at high risk. But changes of the firm, the nation's sixth largest corporation recovering without federal help is a gamble at best he said. In Chicago, meanwhile, Treasury Secretary David M.

Kennedy told the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations the government should have made a "desperate" effort to save the railroad. But he said insufficient time was available to solve the firm's problems. He said other companies might face similar problems because "corporations operate with less cash than they used to." Committee response to the proposal was reluctant and sometimes angry. Rep. James Harvey, questioned the aid package on grounds it could set a precedent that would force the federal government to put financial "life nets" under other trans- It is believed likely that many incidents, where losses are mostly nuisances, ars unreported to police.
