He talked for more than six hours with Foreign Minister Walter Scheel and left behind the impressionthat Moscow is seriously in- terested in improving the situation in and around Berlin. Chancellor Willy Brandt's government has made such an im- provement a precondition to submitting for ratification the friend- ship treaty Brandt signed in Moscow last Aug. 12. RACIAL DISORDERS closed school systems yesterday in Trenton, N.J., and Providence, R.I. The two cities were among the 14 that have closed schools for similar reasons since the start of the academic year. A survey showed that the school closings, mostly high schools, came from a variety of causes-from violent black-white confronta- tions to objections to busing plans to racially-oriented protest and boycotts. In Trenton, looting and window breaking broke out again yes- terday near a city monument as racial unrest continued in reaction to a controversial school busing plan. Providence's school system was shut down yesterday by Supt.! Richard C. Briggs because of rock-throwing incidents Thursday near the Central-Classical high school complex. * * * -0 U.S. intervention DETROIT (M - The chief of the federal government's Mediation and Conciliation Service said yesterday his depart- ment would step into contract negotiations between General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers unless the tempo :". :.:_ .__:.. picks up. pi kExpressing he Nixon administration's "tremendous in- .

(See News Briefs) V "THE BEN-HU-R OF THE MOTORCYCLE PICTURES" IT'S -Saturday Review fund helps ressmen from the milk group, the Trust for Agricultural Political Educa- I tion. Two freshman members of the Agriculture Committee who also t have races this year, Rep. Edward Jones (D-Tenn), and Rep. Bill Alexander (D-Ark), got other 'sizable contributions. Milk is buoyed by government price supports. The Trust for Agricultural Education is a rich new campaign fund overflowing Swith$400,000 in donations from dairy farmers around the nation. Poage is the second unopposed House chairman benefiting from special interest funds this year. Funds for two seamen's unions steered $5,000 through a hidden money-raising body set up in Washington for Rep. Edward A. Garmatz (D-Md), chairman of the House Merchant Marine Com- mittee. The trust gave $2,000 to Jones this summer and a total of $6,000 to Alexander over the past year and a half. All three committee members were unopposed in their summer primaries as well as Tues- day's general elections. The campaign fund, based in' San Antonio, Tex., was set up last year by officials tied to Associated Milk Producers Inc. That organ- ization's comptroller, Robert O. Isham, is treasurer and sole of- ficial of the trust. Isham said the trust makes its contributions to farm congress- men on the basis of need. "And," he said, when asked about the unopposed members, "I've never talked to a politician who didn't need money." after the two sides gave the first indications they have de- cided to begin serious give- and-take bargaining on eco- nomic issues. GM and the UAW jointly an- nounced a news blackout and establishment of a special top- level subcommittee "to undertake intensive probing" of their differ- ences. Imposition of such blackouts in the past has indicated settlement was nearing. Counts said he was "enthusiastic" the subcommittee had been set up and would meet through the weekend, but he add- ed, "Don't let me mislead you to think settlement is just around the corner." He said his office was monitor- ing negotiations and "if this pro- gress ceases we will get into it actively." Counts said he came to Detroit of his own volition not on presi- dential orders. Both GM and the UAW have said they want no outside inter- vention, governmental or other- wise. And only once, during a record 119-day strike againstnGM in 1945-46, have they permitted a federal government representa- tive to sit in on bargaining. He was not allowed to participate ac- tively, however. Negotiations which began more than three months ago, on July 15, broke off when the strike erupted at midnight Sept. 14 and were not renewed until Oct. 9. There was no indication yester- day that either side had backed away from previously taken tough stands on money and fringe issues. Terrorists in Brazil plan to aid Panthers RIO DE JANEIRO ()-Brazil- ian terrorists planned to work to- gether with the Black Panther party in Algiers, according to do- cuments published yesterday. A letter purporting to be written from Rome to Joaquim Camara Ferreira, a top Brazilian terrorist leader who died of a heart attack last week shortly after his arrest, said, "We. are thinking of organ- izing a publishing house in Algiers. It would belong to us and the Black Panthers. Legal aims would be publishing, illegal aims would be to prepare documents." The letter, signed "Claudio" and dated Oct. 10 in Rome, re- ported efforts by Ferreira's or- ganziation-the National Libera- tion Alliance (ALN)-to gather funds and promote publicity in Europe against Brazil's military regime.

General Motors, the world's largest company, normally spends $40 million a day with 39,000 sup- pliers, and averages $90 million a day in sales. An Associated Press survey showed yesterday that thousands of workers have been laid off and that financial losses have mush- roomed across the country. Layoffs are mounting among auto salesmen a n d mechanics from Massachusetts to California. So are pay and commission cuts for those still working. Some steel and rubber plants have cut back from five-day weeks to three and four-day weeks. Government units are also feel- ing the impact. Gov. William Milliken said the state was losing $4 million a week in state revenue, and will have to make budget cuts if t h e strike goes beyond Dec. 1. Michigan has 180,000 auto work- ers strike-idled. The state Department of Social Services added that as of} 1 a s t Tuesday applications from GM families for federal food stamps totaled 62,140. UAW strike fund assistance for its members ranges from $30 to $40 a week, depend- ing upon family status. An income that low, qualifies one for relief. In addition to strikers, Michi- gan had 232,000 or 6.5 per cent of its 1 a b o r force on the sidelines Sept. 30. Cities reporting income tax losses included Flint, $110,000 a week; Norwood, Ohio, $15,000 a week; and Cleveland, Ohio, $10,- 000 a week. In Pontiac it was reported that the strike-caused decrease in city income taxes might force the lay- off of 18 policemen and 14 fire- men.

SAIGON (P)-The U.S. Army expressed grave concern yesterday about an increasing number of American servicemen killed or hospitalized by narcotics abuse in Vietnam. In 1970 alone, the Army announced, there have been 25 confirmed deaths from drugs, another 64 suspected as caused by drugs and more than 700 drug-related hospital cases. An official memorandum said the problem in- volved not only marijuana, which always has been abundant in South Vietnam, but narcotic drugs such as heroin which are are addictive. By labeling drug abuse "a matter of grave concern," the Army shifted from a stand of two months ago when high officials claimed the in- crease in narcotics usage was insignificant. The statement reported more drug-related hospital cases and more drug-caused fatalities so far during 1970 than in all 12 months last year. The findings roughly correspond with those of Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn), who claimed in Washington on Thursday that an Air Force hospital in Vietnam drugs between Aug.

Our society, if you must know. A couple of years ago, "Little Murders" seemed a nightmare. It's still a nightmare, but now it's a documentary as well. The manic hilarity keeps snow- balling. [If you don't laugh at "Little Murders," which is keep laughing, and it is to the great credit of the Actors Company, who staged the play as their third offering at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre last n i g h t, that there was a ripple of nervous excitement in the laughter. They have found the perfect tone, the right tempo, the smoking handle on the hor- ror. [This is easily the best of the three productions they ALL THE ACTORS are vibrating on the same plane, which surely says something for- directors Allen Fletcher and Josef Sommer's decision to serve "Little Murders" up as a sulfuric comic strip. Feiffer's high-pressure patch of urban hell has been expertly a n d disquietingly brought to deadly life here.
