ending Sept. pnirP I Ac iln I Haaftaan il The Chill of i Summit Meeting; Tobacco Paradox No newspaper dispatch could equal the TV camera in conveying to the American public the chill that greeted President Nimn when the chief executive's Jet, "Spirit of 1776," touched down at Peking. Mao Tse-tung met the President at the air terminal, contrary to the bet some China experts were offering. And the greetings on both sides of East- West were friendly. Still, it was a cold deal for Mr.

Nixon. There was no crowd in any of the TV-covered scenes. The streets were positively deserted as the presidential motor caravan moved from the airport to the central city. In any other summit meeting there would have been hundreds of thousands on the line of march, curious to get a glimpse of the visiting head of a powerful state. But not in Chita.

Mao Tse-tung obviously had decided his presence was enough. I had a feeling the reception chin was about the same temperature China would have generated had the visitor been the premier of the Soviet Union. And perhaps that is just how matters really stand. Here are two of three unfriendly powers attempting to strike up a friendship. Russia is already screaming it is a plot against Moscow.

But China is slow to shake America's hand, being full of mistrust. And it may be a long time before the Chinese chill subsides. How else could it be between two nations that have been enemies for a generation? Here's a paradox in the art of government: The United States is waging a war against the cigarette, but last week-end American tobaooo demanded that tfiir government act to protect them against discriminatory taxation against our export sales in Europe. And politics being what it is, chances are the government will get behind the tobacco growers' plea. This would be no more paradoxical than previous policy at home.

While denouncing tobacco in general and cigarettes specifically, the federal government and practically all the states go on taxing cigarette sales. If the paradox isn't plain to you it certainly is plain to moat people in where the anti-cigarette campaign is so successful that cigarette sales increase every year. I repeat: I'll bet the government moves to help the tobacco the very guy government has been trying to put out of business. Arab Hijackers Hold Plane With RFK's Son Aboard In the News By DENNIS NEELD Associated Press Writer BEIRUT (AP) Arab hijackers held the oldest son of the late Sen. Robert F.

Kennedy with 135 other men aboard a West German jumbo jet in Aden today. The hijackers described themselves as members of the Palestine Liberation Force, the government of India reported. The plane had taken off from New Delhi. The Iraqi news agency reported from the capital of Southern Yemen that Arabs have planted explosives in the plane to keep police at bay. The United States appealed to the International Red Cross and the British government to seek release of the passengers.

Joseph Kennedy, 19, was flying home after a visit to Bangladesh with his uncle, San. Ed- ward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. He remained in India after the senator had left. Mahitwod Aras, director-general of civil aviation in Southern Yemen, denied reports that all passengers except Kennedy had been released from the plane.

He said: "The situation at present is that nobody is allowed to approach the aircraft except myself." Egypt's Middle East New Agency later reported from Aden that there are five hijackers aboard the plane, not three as previously reported- Diplomats in Beirut said the hijackers were demanding the release of four Palestinians on trial in Cairo for the assassination of Premier Waafi Tell of Jordan. But the Palestinian prisoners, while hailing the hijacking as a "heroic ruled out the possibility that the action was carried out to secure their release. "If we were being tried in foreign country, it could been possibly done for us," said Mounsir Khalifa, one of prisoners. "But we are in thai heart of the Arab world and) I'm sure the hijacking of that jumbo has nothing to do with our detention here." NEW YORK (AP) The men mission here said today that all passengers on a hijacked West German Jumbo Jet have been released by five Palestinians guerrillas. Joseph P.

Kennedy III was among passengers. The spokesman for the mia- sion said that the were continuing to hold the aircraft and its crew members.

By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer PEKING (AP) President Nixon and Premier Chou En-lai conferred nearly four hours today, apparently sounding out each other on the problems that separate their two countries. In the evening, President and Mrs. Nixon, accompanied by Mme. Chiang Ching, wife of Chairman Mao Tse-tung, attended a modern revolutionary ballet in the Great Hall of the People. Unlike the largely ceremonial meeting Monday, Nixon and Chou sat down in the Great Hall of the People with only close advisers present.

This indicated that they were buckling down to the hard questions of where they disagree. Chou's remarks of the first suggesting a normalization of relations, gave hope that something concrete may emerge from Nixon's visit to China. For the first time, the Chinese press gave extensive coverage of the visit with pictures of Nixon with Mao and with Chou. Their meeting room today was small and conducive to an exchange of opinions. Instead of the line of easy chairs in which they posed for photographers Monday, they faced each other across a rectangular table only a few feet wide and with only a few aides and interpreters present.

Henry A. Kissinger, the President's adviser on national security, was at his right and Secretary of State- William P. Rogers.wasai his left. The atmosphere at the outset was jovial and friendly, and all laughed with relish during the brief picture taking before the leaders got down to business. Meanwhile, Mrs.

(AP) Atty. Gen. Ray Thornton entered Monday what has now become a threeway race for the congressional eat held by Rep. David Pry or, in the 4th District. As Pryor announced Saturday that he would run against Sen.

John L. McClellan, Thornton told newsmen he had been toying with the idea of seeking the office. Thornton, 43, is serving his first term as attorney general, and he said Monday that his record shows that he has accomplished the tasks he set out to do when running for the of- fice. "A Consumer Protection Division has been established, a far-reaching project of revising our state's criminal laws is under way and the office has undertaken the additional responsibility of affording more comprehensive legal representation to many of our state agencies," Thornton said. Richard Arnold of Texarkana and Jack G.

Coleman of McGehee also are in the race for Pryor's office. Thornton is a native of Arkansas. He is a graduate of the University of Arkansas and Yale University. By HARRISON HUMPHRIES Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) After five weeks of Southern-dominated debate, the Senate is headed toward passage of a bill to strengthen the federal ban on discrimination in employment. Senate leaders predicted debate on the bill would be cut off today, although two earlier efforts to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority failed by nine and six votes, respectively.

The stage was set for the debate-ending vote by the filing Friday of a petition signed by 53 senators, two more than a Fatal Shooting at Lewisville LEWISVILLE, Ark. (AP) Willie E.

He said at a news conference that he decided to seek the seat, after state Rep. Leon Hoisted was killed. majority.

Senate leaders expressed confidence that amendments could be disposed of and the bill passed quickly after debate was ended. Remaining amendments include a possible modification of the Senate's decision last Tuesday to deny the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission the power to issue its own cease- and-desist orders against discriminatory practices, but allowing injunction suits in federal courts. Sen. Jacob K. Javits, said he is working to clarify authority of U.S, courts to appoint special masters to try job discrimination complaints.

The bill would broaden the federal ban on job discrimination by covering all employers of 15 or more persons rather than 25, and unions of 15 or more members. The bill would also include for the first time 10.1 million state and local government employes. Specifically exempted would be state and local elected officials and legislators and their personal assistants and immediate advisers. Direct enforcement of the bias ban by the EEOC was sought by civil-rights groups. But court enforcement was supported by the Nixon administration and adopted in the bill passed by the House last September.
