While refusing to say the negotiations had turned a new corner, U.S. officials told newsmen aboard the secretary of state's jet that the Israeli cabinet had made the first formal change in its position since Kissinger came to the Middle East two weeks ago.

Sadat and Kissinger met for Vk hours but neither said anything to newsmen afterward. An indication that some progress was being made in the shuttle negotiations was the information from U.S. officials that Kissinger may meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko in Vienna tomorrow. Until now Israel has officially been willing to give up 30 miles in Sinai taken during the 1967 war but not to yield two strategic mountain passes and the Abu Rudeis oil fields.

A 1 1 American officials would say about what the Israeli cabinet has added was that they are "some modifications, elaborations and new elements." "I am bringing firm ideas," Kissinger said as he stepped smiling from his at Aswan airport. "You can call them proposals." He added, "There's always hope for an agreement." Kissinger said he hoped to return to Jerusalem today. Sub Plot versive Make them all smoother with Canadian Club.

Richard Thorn-burgh said here yesterday that Mayor Louis Tullio of Erie has been subpoenaed to appear here Thursday before a federal grand jury examining his political fund-raising activities. The subpoena also ordered Tullio to produce financial records of i fund-raising Mayor's Club, Thornburgh said. The Mayor's Club has been under investigation since last year, and a source said the grand jury has heard testimony alleging tax fraud, political kickbacks, mail fraud and interstate racketeering. The Moorhead subcommittee, a unit of the Government Operations Committee, will call both sides in the dispute, including top officials from both Interior and GAO. Moorhead said the decision announced in January, 1974, at the height of the energy shortage "was made without adequate data and consideration of environmental impact, supply and demand needs, or availability of qualified personnel and without adequate consideration of other alternatives.

"It was, in short, made out of expediency and without full consideration of the public interest. The revenues from the leases have amounted' to $18 billion. Post-Goztttt Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Congressional hearings will open next month into the Interior Department's outer continental shelf oil leasing program, with a Pittsburgh Democrat directing the probe. Rep. William S.

Moorhead, chairman of the conservation, energy and natural resources subcommittee, announced the hearings after receiving a General Accounting Office report critical of the program. The report, sent to Congress Wednesday, accused the Nixon administration of proposing to accelerate oil and gas leasing on the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the face of "vigorous opposition by Interior's experts in the geological survey." ui ran of groceries that cost $10 in 1967, cost $17.41 last month here. Across the state, Pittsburgh district food prices looked good in comparison with Philadelphia and Scranton. Food prices last month in Philadel-p i a were 10.7 cent greater than in February 1974 and for Scranton the increase was 12.3 per cent. The Pittsburgh district increase was 8.5 per cent.

The BLS reported that meat, poultry and fish cost 4 per cent less in the Pittsburgh area last month than in February, 1974, and the decline for the same period was 5.7 per cent in Scranton and 4.7 per cent in Philadelphia. The BLS noted the following declines in food prices in the Pittsburgh area from February 1974 to last month: Hamburger, 28 cents a pound; bologna, 16 cents a pound; turkey, 18 cents a pound; oranges, 17 cents a dozen; potatoes, 77 cents for 10 lb. bag; and large eggs, 15 cents a dozen.

The total increase for 1974 was 12.2 per cent.

Food prices in February rose nationally at the slowest rate in seven months. Fuel and utility bills rose 1.1 per cent nationaly during February, up 13 per cent over February 1974.

Prince Rejects Negotiated Peace Sihanouk Would Hang Lon.Nol, 6 Associates it will fall, he reportedly said. "Even if the United States gives it new colossal aid, financially and militarily, this valet-army of U.S. imperialism will not escape final defeat and unconditional surrender in the not-too-distant future," the review quoted him. Along with Lon Nol, Sihanouk reportedly said, the Khmer rebels would hang Prime Minister Long Boret; recently fired armed forces commander-in-chief Gen. Sosthene Fernandez; former prime ministers In Tarn and Son Ngoc Thanh; former Defense Minister Sirik Matak, who is a second cousin to Sihanouk, and the former president of Cambodia's National Assembly, Cheng Heng.

Sihanouk labeled the leaders "The Seven Traitors," the magazine said, and he declared "the U.S. government lies shamelessly when it asserts that it has made, or has arranged to make, many attempts for contacting Sihanouk and the Red Khmer leaders." HONG KONG (AP) Deposed Cambodian ruler Prince Norodom Sihanouk was quoted as saying that President Lon Nol and six other former or present Cambodian leaders will be hanged if they are captured. The Far Eastern Economic Review also reported in its March 28 issue that Sihanouk denies the United States has ever made any efforts to contact him or the Communist-led Khmer Rouge rebels and that he rejects any negotiated settlement in Cambodia. The Hong Kong-based weekly newsmagazine said Sihanouk's statements were in cables he sent from exile in Peking in response to a list of cabled questions. The Khmer Rouge strategy, Sihanouk was quoted, "is not to bring our offensives directly on Phnom Penh but rather to lead a war of attrition." Lon Nol's government may survive another three months, six months or a year, but Fischer Calls Off Chess Title Match BERGEN, Netherlands (AP)-World chess champion Bobby Fischer yesterday called off the $5 million title match scheduled for June with Soviet challenger Anatoly Karpov, a chess official reported.

Florencio Campomanes of the Philippines, whose country was to host the match, said Fischer had called from his home in Pasadena, and stated: "It's all over. There will be no match and there is nothing else to do." Fischer had said earlier he would refuse to play unless International Chess Federation-FIDE-made two changes in world championship rules.

"I've checked with the governor's office and the state Department of Education and you are wrong," she said to the board. "So you should pay out of your own pockets." More than 1 0 0 residents grumbled about the bus contract awarded to Blackburn International of McKeesport, the fourth highest bidder. Edward F.

Eger, owner of Eger Motors McKeesport, the second lowest bidder $500,000 presented statistics from the National Truck Registry indicating that his bus specifications equaled those of Blackburn. The state school code stipulates that the lowest responsi-b 1 bidder be awarded the contract. Eger demanded to know why he had nol been awarded the contract. He said Supt. James Revetta invited him to meet with the board in a closed-door session last Thursday night to explain the board's decision, but Eger refused.

Board member Harry Ford said that the International Harvester bus had the superior body of those in the bids and will have the best trade-in value in the long run, therefore, the "$20,000 difference isn't that much." Citizens' opposition to the awarding of the contract surfaced when the board considered purchasing speed governors, engine cooling units and stronger alternators for the buses at an additional cost of $4,626. Eger said his bid included the governors and the cooling units, representing additional savings to the board. Board President Charles Carnahan told Eger that he hadn't noted that in his bid. Eger said: "You didn't ask." After several other persons raised skepticism about the additional equipment board 'voted, 8-1, to reject them. The meeting lasted more than four hors.
