Guam -A Japanese freighter and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter raced two tropical storms Saturday in a bid to rescue the six-man crew of a downed U.S. B52 bomber clinging to liferafts in rough seas off Guam.

The tropical storms were heading for the area from two directions, they said. Air Force aircraft spotted the liferafts and verified that all six crewmen were aboard them but the circling pilots were unable to determine the condition of the downed airmen.

(AP) A Nashville butcher who claims to make $8,000 a year at a packing house has been hit with a $170,000 tax lien by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS said Bobby L. McQuiddy, 38, made $300,000 last year, but agents refused to say how he made the money.

McQuiddy was arrested last month and charged with possessing and distributing heroin. The tax lien came on June 29, eight days later, but IRS officials refused to say The eight engined jet was en route to a combat mission over Vietnam early Saturday when it plunged into the Pacific about 300 miles west of here, Air Force spokesmen said. a liferaft, the spokesmen said. The Japanese rescue ship and the Coast Guard cutter fought weather conditions so bad that a flight of other B52s was turned away from its Guam home base Saturday and forced to land in Okinawa. Their arrival on Japanese soil kicked off waves of protests.

In Omaha, the Strategic Air Command headquarters identified the crew members as Capt. Leroy L. Johnson of Pullman, aircraft commander; 1st Lt. William L. Neely III of Pittsburgh, copilot; 1st Lt.

Jack Brooks, D- said Saturday.

"Purchase was on an 'as is' basis and was for ostensible purpose of reshipment to the Raytheon factory in Massachusetts to establish some type of display testing laboratory. Just why the FAA should purchase defective equipment that does not meet government specifications to help furnish a contractor's laboratory is a real mystery the Congress must seek to solve," Brooks said. Such a purchase of "unacceptable display equipment" from Raytheon, Brooks said in a statement, "amounts to little more than bailing out this contractor at the expense of the taxpayers." An FAA spokesman said he had no immediate comment on Brook's allegations. Top Seed Spitter Crowned NEOSHO, Mo. (AP) Having spit a watermelon seed 27 feet, inches, Ed Giff of Neosho was crowned champion Saturday of a watermelonseed-spitting contest.

Giff, 26, prevailed over a field of 304 participants ranging in ages from 3 to 78. The results were sent by registered mail to the International Watermelon SeedSpitting Institution, of Pawhuska, where the event originated nine years ago. After receiving the crown, Giff said he would take on all challengers after a few weeks of rest. The record in sanctioned competition is 44 feet, one and three-quarters inches by Dale Blaylock of Pauls Valley, Okla. Blaylock declined to participate in the Neosho event for fear of impairing his amateur standing.

Kissinger Thinks Hanoi May Soften Continued from Page One think that there might be some movement on the question of the future of the Saigon government which, he said, is an extremely timeconsuming, complex issue." It be better" to have this issue "discussed by the Vietnamese themselves." he said. The improved climate for negotiations that he believes he sees does not mean that either side would accept all of the other side's proposals, Kissinger said. Means Serious Discussions But, he continued. "by serious negotiations, we mean serious discussions of each side's proposals. "We have made it very clear that this will be our approach and we believe this attitude has been fully conveyed to Hanoi and we have some reason to believe that they will approach these negotiations in something like the same spirit." Kissinger alen indicated United Press International POODLE POLITICS- The newest appointee to Los Angeles Mayor Sam Committee is a real dog.

Angel Goodman, a 7. Yorty's Community Advisory month-old poodle, received a certificate signed by the mayor appointing her to the committee. A long list of her new responsibilities includes meeting with the mayor once a year, exchanging ideas with community leaders, and encouraging new membership in the committee. The appointment came after Angel's owner, Barry Goodman, also a member of the committee, bet he could get his dog appointed. He recommended appointment of his niece.

"We didn't know his niece was going to turn out to be a dog," Mayor Yorty said. Rock Fete Biggest in 3 Years By GRACE LICHTENSTEIN New York Times News Service LOND POND, Pa. An estimated 200,000 young people jammed the Pocono International Raceway Saturday for a rain-soaked, one-day rock music festival, the biggest youth gathering in the East since Woodstock three years ago. Thousands of cars and numerous hitchhikers with backpacks began jamming Interstate Route 80 south of the resort town of Mount Pocono early Friday on their way to the auto racing track in the hills of eastern Pennsylvania. From as far away as California and Florida, the youngsters had come to hear the sounds of such groups as Three Dog Night, Faces, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Humble Pie, J.

Geils Band, and Badfinger. The promoters promised 10 hours of music for the $11 admission. By Friday evening, 30,000 people were camped in and around the triangle-shaped track, according to an estimate by the festival promoters, Concert 10. Inc. The flickering light of campfires dotted the night, totally darkened by a power blackout throughout the area.

Airlines Stiffen Security Measures United Press International Major airlines Saturday began stepping up security precautions to comply with President Nixon's emergency order requiring strict antihijacking measures on all domestic commuter flights. The response to the President's order, issued Friday by the Federal Aviation Administration, ranged from "100 per cent" security checks of all passengers and luggage at some airports to a good deal less than that at others. Some carriers said all carryon luggage would be screened and ticket agents warned passengers to expect delays; others said security would be tightened but declined to say how or when. One spokesman for a major airline said he would like to comply with the President's order but said he wasn't sure what it meant or how to implement it if he did. According to an FAA spokesman, the new rules state that all passengers must submit two pieces of identification and submit to body searches if warranted and that all carryon luggage must be searched.

The new rules are in addition to existing federal laws requiring airlines to use at least three of four check methods. They are: metal detection devices, spot checks of baggage, screening of passengers against the FAA hijacker profile and spot checks of passenger identification. But the details of the new rules are yet to be worked out, according to some airline spokesmen around the country. "In the long run you're going to see increased diligence in security by airlines but the White House is going to have to spell out what it means," said a spokesman for United Airlines at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. "'The last thing we want to do is cop out but we don't know what to do at this point," he said.

Russians Will Buy U.S.Surplus Grain including longshoremen, seamen, exporters, railroad and barge line workers. It will reduce the cost to taxpayers of storage and handling and other charges associated with maintaining commodity stocks." The President also feels, Ziegler said, that the agreement "is a tribute to the immense productivity of America's farmers, which makes possible export sales of this And, the presidential spokesman said, the deal "builds on the accomplishments of the summit meeting in Moscow." The White House said agricultural experts estimate that between 3,000 and 5,000 additional jobs are created for each $100 million of grain exportsmeaning that "a range of 500 to 37,500 man-years of work for U.S. workers are involved in this deal." Butz predicted at the Washington news conference that the Soviets would exceed the minimum $750-million purchase. He said he based his prediction on the assumption that the Russians would need more feed grains to succed in their five-year program to increase the production of animal protein by 25 per cent.

Conn.

(UPI)- State police helped embarrassed postal officials collect thousands of pieces of mail along the Connecticut Turnpike Friday. The loose mail was spilled from the rear of a large truck that got on the turnpike at Stamford. Both Wallace and Sanford are expected to be still around for any second ballot, however, and battling for the votes themselves. Ed Graham, a McGovern coordinator for North Carolina, claimed that his candidate could get as many as 20 votes from North Carolina on the second ballot, indicating that the state is a major key to McGovern's second ballot hopes. Surveys of the North Carolina delegation have revealed only eight delegates who are firmly committed to the South Dakota senator.

Graham took a room in the North Carolina hotel and spent the day trying to line up North Carolina votes. He lunched with Wilbur Hobby, the state AFL-CIO president, who is committed to Sanford. And he buttonholed arriving delegates and held strategy meetings with some of the already committed delegates. At the end of the day, however, partisans of Sanford said the delegation would be strongly committed to the former North Carolina governor on a second ballot and discounted Graham's claim that his candidate would get a substantial bloc. BRANCH McGovern held out an olive branch of sorts to Wallace backers in outlining his hopes for new second ballot strength.

The South Dakotan said that most of the extra delegates he hopes to pick up on the second ballot were "committed to vote for Governor Wallace oh the first ballot." Such voters are not only in North Carolina but in Tennessee and several other Southern states, according to McGovern aides. McGovern said, however. "I want them to stay with their state law and vote for Governor Wallace on the first ballot." North Carolina's delegation contains only two or three delegates either committed or leaning to Wallace once the first ballot requirement IS met. There is some talk among delegates, however, of rounding up others as many as a dozen delegates to continue voting for Wallace on a second ballot. About 40 of the Tar Heel delegates are believed ready to vote for Sanford after the first ballot.

SCOTT Gov. Bob Scott had little time to relax after arriving about noon for the Democratic National Convention. The Tar Heel governor was immediately off to a caucus of governors which lasted most of Saturday afternoon, as each presidential candidate, except Wallace, made a personal appearance to plead his pace belief that the results of the big military offensive from the North had improved the climate for negotiations. He said that Brig. Gen.

Alexander M. Haig, had reported to President Nixon this week, following a visit by Haig to Vietnam, that the offensive across the demilitarized zone "has been essentially arrested." Haig Believes Haig also believes, according to Kissinger, that any new military attack of similar proportions "is not likely in the future," and he is "generally encouraged" by the military situation in Vietnam. Kissinger would not comment on reports from London earlier this week that the Soviet and Chinese governments were putting pressure on North Vietnam to agree to a peace settlement. He repeated previous assertions that the war will be settled in negotiations with Hanoi, rather than Moscow and Peking though. Continued from Page One deal.

Without giving specifics, he said some of the grain will not be shipped in Soviet vessels and "we believe the unions will agree to load under those conditions." The foreign affairs adviser said the agreement "is a major step forward" in concluding a comprehensive U. trade package. He predicted "major progress will be made" when Secretary Peterson, who is U.S. cochairman of a commercial commission established at the summit, goes to Moscow in July. The talks which led to Saturday's agreement began last fall when ecretary of Commerce Maurice Stans visited the Soviet capital.

There were followup visits by Soviet trade officials to the United States and extensive discussions the summit between Nixon, Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev, Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and President Nicolai Podgorny, Kissinger said. The summit concluded without a final agreement but both sides decided "to review the situation as quickly as possible," Kissinger said. Then, he continued, about two weeks ago, the Soviets informed the United States they were ready to conclude the agreement "along the lines discussed by the and.
