A Boston pathologist, Dr. George Katsas, was called to conduct an autopsy but Sullivan County Medical Referee, Dr. James Skillen of Claremont, declined to discuss the case.

Suilivan County Atty. Charles Spanos of Claremont said today that positive identification had been made this morning and that local, county and state authorities are investigating to see whether a homicide is involved in the case. The body was found Wednesday by David Haynes, a farmer, who with his dog had joined a search conducted by police and other New Hampshire au- (horities. The girl was last seen wait- Ing for a school bus at 7:15 a. m.

CARDINAL Page I Proposed Dump Sites Inspected By CLAUDETTE DUROCHER A representative of the New Hampshire Water i Control Commission was to tour proposed sanitary landfill sites in the city today with City Engineer Joel B. Hill. At its semi-monthly meeting last night, the Board of Public Works agreed to defer a decision on the selection of a site until the state water pollution control agency has evaluated each site in terms of possible water contamination. Evaluate Findings Conrad H.

Bellavance, vice chairman of the BPW, said the BPW will meet in special session Tuesday night to evaluate the findings of the state agency and perhaps decide on a site or sites for sanitary landfill operations. He said the Hudson site under consideration for a landfill operation would not be part of today's tour. Bellavance said if the site is to be evaluated for possible water contamination from use as a landfill operation the owner of the land would have to ask for the state's evaluation himself. The Ridge Road area, Bellavance said, is one of the sites to be examined today. Bellavance presided at last night's meeting in the absence of Mayor Dennis J.

Sullivan, chairman of the BPW. Reduce Costs In another development, Sullivan said today the city is seeking school sites which are centrally located to cut down on annual bus transportation costs which now exceed "We are also seeking low areas in the city to use for a sanitary landfill process either by outright purchase, lease or voluntary use as a civic gesture to improve the area for recreation or whatever practical purpose proper landfill will lend itself," Sullivan said. Persons knowing'of such he said should -contact his office or that of the superintendent of schools. At the aldermanic meeting Tuesday night, Sullivan said he still felt the Yudicky farm on Main Dunstable Road was the logical place for a landfill operation. He indicated he a searching for alternative school sites to make use of the Yu- dicky property, which the Board of Education has gone on record as retaining for long-range school and recreation purposes.

A letter from City Solicitor Arthur 0. Gormley Jr. concerning the powers of the BPW in regards to land purchase stated the BPW has the power to select and negotiate for a sanitary landfill- site with the alder-men retaining appropria i powers to make the land purchase possible. At a special, unannounced meeting last night, the Board of Education voted 7-to-5 to allow an election to determine "an exclusive representative all Nashua teachers." The board also voted 6-to-S to provide four choices on the election ballot. One of Hie choices would be representation by the Nashua Teachers Union; second, repre- tentation by the Nashua Teachers Association; third, representation by a committee of five teachers to be elected by all full-time teachers on the payroll; and four, no change in the present system.

No date has been set for tin election nor have election procedures been decided. The powers of the "exclusive representative" to be elected were not defined. The school board voted on the bargaining issue after lengthy debate which followed reading of a report of a special committee headed by Richard W. Leonard calling for no action at this time on the request for an election. The motion to allow an election was made by Paul April, seconded by Mrs.

Jean Wallin. Voting in favor were Mrs. Margaret Flynn, Gerald Prunier, Margaret Gote. William J. O'Neil, April, Mrs.

Waffin and Leonard. Against were Dr. Norman Crisp, president of the board, Dr. N. John Fontana, Dr.

J. Gerard Levesque, John T. Dimtsios and Herbert E. Miller. The motion to provide four choices on the ballot was made by Leonard and seconded by Miller.

Voting for that motion were Dr. Levesque, Mrs. Flynn, Pru- nier, Leonard, Miller and Dr. Crisp. TEACHERS Page Viet Deaths Drop to 380 SAIGON (AP) U.S.

military headquarters reported today that 380 Americans were killed in combat in Vietnam last week, the lowest toll in five weeks. The number of Americans wounded in action was 2,739, more than 1,000 less than the previous week and about equal to the weekly figure for the month of May. South Vietnamese headquarters said 392 government soldiers were killed last week and 1,156 were wounded, compared with 345 killed and 1,163 wounded the week before. The two allied commands reported 2,134 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers killed last week, the lowest enemy toll since the week ending April 27 when 2,110 dead were reported. The drop reflected a general slackening in ground fighting as monsoon storms hit some sections of South Vietnam.

The 380 Americans killed were 58 less than the week before. It was the lowest figure since the week ending May 4, when 383 U.S. dead were reported. Of the 2,739 Americans wounded last week, U.S. headquarters said 1,360 required hospitalization.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Frank Milton was expected to schedule a hearing in about a week. Magistrate's Court to conduct the extradi- The application was sent to the Home Office, the British equivalent of the U.S. Justice Department, after clearing its first legal hurdle in the Foreign Office'a few hours after U.S. Consul General Jack Herfurt delivered the bulky petition. Court formalities and appeals could delay Ray's return up to six weeks if he fights extradition.

Contains Evidence The inch-thick petition contains a summary of evidence against Ray in connection with the assassination of King at a Memphis motel April 4. It also contains information on his escape from the Missouri State Prison while serving a sentence for armed robbery, along with fingerprints and other identification material. The United States Is seeking extradition on both charges and must satisfy a British judge that both would be crimes under British law. The Foreign Office certified that the petition came within the terms of the 1931 extradition treaty between the two countries. If Milton grants extradition, Ray would have 15 days to appeal to the High Court and if the High Court upheld the extradition order, he would have another 14 days to appejl to the House of Lords, Britain's supreme court.

Michael Dresden, the British" lawyer appointed for Ray, has given no indication whether Ray would fight extradition and has refused to comment on the case. Continues Probe Scotland Yard continued Its Investigation of Bay's movements in London during the three weeks prior to his arrest last Saturday, and suspicion continued that he had a contact man. Jane Nassau, a receptionist at one of the hotels where Ray stayed, told newsmen that police are looking for another vacationing receptionist, to ask her whether someone accompanied Ray when he arrived at the hotel. In Toronto, where Ray went after the killing of King, police continued to look for a fat man who reportedly delivered an envelope to him. The Toronto Star said In a copyright story that a cab driver reported picking up "a big fat man" May 2 across the street from the rooming house where Ray was staying.

SEARS ROEBUCK Wth CENTURY'S High St. MR WTOGATE'S DRUG STORE discovery that the deceased, a strapping Neanderthal, was apparently laid to rest on a bed of flowers is reported in a study of pollen samples from the grave, recently published in Paris. Pollen and flower fragments from at least eight species, most of them small, brightly colored wildflowers, have been found. They include relatives of the grape hyacinth, bachelor's button, hollyhock and a yellow flowering groundsel. Also present were wood fragments and abundant pollen of a pine-like shrub.

The author of the study, Arlette Leroi-Gourhan of the Musee Be L'Homme in Paris, believes the flowers may have been woven Into the pliant branches of (his shrub. 60,000 Years Old The age of the skeleton is too great for reliable dating by radioactive carbon measurements. However Dr. Ralph Solecki, professor of anthropology at Columbia University, believes the skeleton is about 60,000 years old. It was Solecki's excavations, in the huge Shanidar cave, 250 miles north of Baghdad, that first brought the skeleton to light.

Mme. Leroi-Gourhan points out that, despite uncertainty as to how long ago this man died, the time of year can be told with certainty. This is because all of the flowers laid in his grave bloom at the same season spring. The cave is 132 feet deep and its mouth Is 175 feet wide.

OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) President Johnson, In surprise visit to the United Nations, congratulated the Genera! Assembly Wednesday on approving the treaty to check spread of nuclear weapons and promised vigorous American efforts to de-escalate the nuclear arms race. Johnson told the assembly In a 12-minute speech that the nuclear nonproliferation pact was "the most important international agreement in the field of disarmament since the nuclear age began." Johnson entered the assembly hali shortly after the delegates approved the treaty 95-4 with 21 abstentions. Albania, Cuba, Tanzania and Zambia voted no. Tim resolution of approval recommended that all nations sign and ratify the treaty as soon as possible.

Albania and Cuba boycotted the President's speech, but those who heard him gave him the standing ovation before and after that is customary when a chief of state speaks to the assembly. A few hours later, the assembly adjourned its 22nd session which began Sept. 19, recessed Dec. 19, and resumed April 24 to deal with the nonproliferation treaty and the U.N. effort to end South Africa's control over South-West Africa.

The nuclear treaty, first presented last August by the United States and the Soviet Union in the Geneva Disarmament Committee, binds signatory nation! with nuclear weapons not to transfer them to other countries and nations without such weapons not to acquire them. Johnson congratulated "all who have contributed to this historic event." He said the United States would "move rapidly" to open the trtttr for MfMtwt, Surprise Visit President Lyndon B.

"We shall, as the treaty requires," he declared, "facilitate the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials, scientific and technical information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy We shall share nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes.

"Finally, in keeping with our obligations under the treaty, we shall, as a major nuclear power, promptly and vigorously pursue negotiations on effective measure! to halt the nuclear arms race and to reduce existing nu- elm The treaty was sponsored by three of the five nuclear powers --the United Slates, the Soviet Union and Britain. France boycotted the long negotiations in Geneva which produced the draft, and Red China continuously assailed It as a Soviet- plot to preserve their nuclear dominance. But the treaty got support Wednesday from French Delegate Armand Berard, who told the assembly that although his government would not sign the pact, it would behave "exactly like those states that decided to adhere to It." Precautions Noted Unuiuilty elaborate lecurity precautions surrounded President Johnson's visit to New York and to U.N. headquarters. Security obviously was intensified because of the assassination last week of Sen.

Robert F. Kennedy. Nat until the presidential plane was near New York did the United Nations announce Johnson was on his way to address the assembly. Because of a thick overcast and visibility of only a little over a mile, the plane was diverted from Floyd Bennett Field, a naval air station, to Kennedy Airport, which Jias longer runways and better navigational facilities. Accompanied by a heavy se- eurity detail, the President and his younger daughter, Mrs.

Patrick Nugent, traveled from the airport in an unmarked police car. A dummy motorcade of 14 police cars and two black sedans preceded the President by about 20 minutes. There was also the usual closing of roads and streets to traffic in advance of the presidential party, police guards along the route and police on roofs. The President arrived and left In the rain, which kept many persons off the streets.
