It is very important that she get the injection." The health warning came as police checked a clumsily handprinted letter claiming Mrs. McKay was being held prisoner until the newspapers her husband's company publishes agree to quit printing what it called "filth." "I will let Mrs.

McKay go if the News of the World and the Sun publicly announce that they will not corrupt our kids any more by printing all that filth," it said. Police were unable to say whether the letter, delivered Thursday night to another newspaper in suburban North London, was genuinely connected with the case or whether it was the work of a crank. Another tip in the case was an anonymous telephone call that sent police to a church on Wimbledon Common near the McKay home. The phone call said Mrs. McKay would be found in a tunnel beneath the church, but police found the passage had been sealed up years ago with bricks.

Dutch clairvoyant Gerard Croiset, famed for his work with police in Holland, studied a piece of Mrs. McKay's clothing in the Netherlands and by telephone asked British police, to search a cottage in Essex. Detectives found nothing. At least one spiritualist in London also was working with police.

Antiaircraft fire, he asserted, drove the planes from the town, located in the mountainous southeast corner about seven miles from the border of the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan heights.

Lebanese press sources said a second Israeli attack hit a roadway to the north of the town but caused no casualties. High Israeli officials have warned that Israel would retaliate against Arab commando raids from Lebanon. The Israeli border villages of Metulla and Kiryat Shmona reportedly underwent Arab commando attacks on New Year's Day.

A few miles to the south, Israeli jets knocked out Jordan's Ghor irrigation canal for the third time after heavy shelling from Jordanian and Iraqi batteries and what was described as "increased aggressive acts'' by Arab guerrillas against Israeli settlements in the Beisan and Jordan valleys. Gideon Gazit, a veteran Galilee settler and an official in the Israel land directorate's office, said most Israelis in the area see no alternative to protection but to grab a 19- mile stretch of the bleak Gilead mountain chain that looks down from Jordan on the Israeli farmers. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan visited Metulla Thursday and said Israel viewed the kidnaping of the watchman with "particular gravity." He said "terrorist activity" had increased along the Lebanese border since the Cairo agreement between the Arab commandos and the Lebanese government.

Ernest Ray Cooksey, 26, a cook, of 207 Madrone Redwood City, was booked at San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City for burglary and carrying a concealed weapon. Cooksey allegedly had broken into the garage of the home of Mrs. Velma Catching, 30, and her daughter, Linda, 16, at 2638 Fordham East Palo Alto.

Mrs. Catching caught him. The woman, an electronics assembler employed in Palo Alto, told Deputy Sheriff William J. Windle that she was asleep and her daughter was talking on the telephone when the daughter heard a knock at the door shortly after 10 p.m. Linda went to the door and listened, but did not answer.

Moments later, Linda heard a noise of breaking glass in the garage, and woke her mother. The two went into the kitchen, and Mrs. Catching stepped into the garage and found Cooksey with a screwdriver in his hand standing inside the garage door, which was open, she said. Mrs. Catching grabbed Cooksey, and Linda grabbed a knife as her mother pulled the man into the kitchen.

Cernan, the astronaut who is traveling with him, presented President Chiang with moon rocks and a Chinese Nationalist flag that traveled to the lunar surface with Apollo 11 last July. President Chiang led separate toasts to President Nixon and Agnew, saying he expects his talks with Agnew to have an important bearing on future developments in this area and thanking the American people for their assistance to his country. On the plane en route to Taipei, Agnew said: "China is a country of 800 million people. They can't be ignored, But attempting to begin a meaningful dialogue with them does not lessen our desire and our conviction that the Republic of China government must be protected in accordance with our stated treaty obligations. "These steps that have been taken with Communist China are just baby crawling motions.

All that's involved is a very small exercise in allowing greater communication and a very small amount of trade initiative, and we'll just see how they react to it. "I think diplomacy--modern diplomacy--requires that initiatives are taken with any country. We don't always want to exist at arms' length with a hostile attitude to the rest of the world." Agnew told Vice President Yen: "We intend to remain an active and concerned member of the Pacific community.
