a a a a a a a Jam From Front Page State police said 50 to 60 persons had been arrested on charges of possessing such drugs as LSD, barbiturates and amphetamines there were no serious incidents or violence as of early today. Elsewhere around the state, reported another 100 troopers, arrested on drug charges as they made stepped up spot of cars headed festival. One car had a halffilled suitcase of marijuana and peyote, police said. At the festival itself there were no reported arrests for marijuana. "As far as I know the narcotics guys are not arresting anybody for grass," said one state police sergeant.

"If we did, there isn't enough space i in Sullivan or the next three counties to put them in." Both police and young people at the festival appeared determined to try and avoid a major confrontation. "There hasn't been anyone yelling pig at the cops and when they ask directions they are lite and none of them has really given any trouble yet," a state police lieutenant said. Helping to keep the cool were 100 members of the "Hog Farm" commune of Taos, N.M., and special security guards wearing orange shirts with "peace" emblazoned on the front. The music that brought everyone here had become almost unimportant. The opening concert Friday night was of folk orientation.

Richie Havens opened the bill but few people seemed to notice which performer was on stage. Today's acts -set to run from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m.-include the Who, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Jopkin. For Sunday the billing included The Band, Hendrix and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Performers were being ferried to the site by helicopter from hotels in nearby Liberty.

Most of the fans, however, had no shelter. A carnival-like atmosphere prevailed as they prepared to sleep in the open fields. Those who could afford the $25 nightly rate at nearby hotels and motels were not much better off because of the difficulty of travel. Facilities were meager. Portable toilets had been set up and six wells dug to provide running water, but there was no shelter available at the site.

There were long lines at the mobile food centers even though many of the young people had packed 'in their own food. One commune was passing out a free gruel made of peanuts, oatmeal, raisins and sunflower seeds. There seemed little that the massive jam would break until the festival ended. Word spread quickly when the producers asked early today for cars to turn around and go home. "No chance," said one youth shaking his head.

"This is where it's Gas From Front Page that he would complain to the White House. "An accident by this train would have been disastrous," he said. "I think I know why they tried to keep it a secret. They didn't want any objections." Allen Vandemark, president of the Lockport firm, disputed contentions that the gas is dangerous, saying the phosgene is being confused with diphosgene, an enriched form of phosgene with carbon monoxide and chlorine. Webster's Third New International Dictionary says both phosgene and diphosgene were used as poison gases in World War I.

Jerald Gerson, owner of Chemical Commodities Corp. of Olathe, purchaser of the Louisiana shipment, said the gas is no more dangerous than gasoline or explosives hauled by railroads. However, Dr. H. Peter Metzger of Boulder, a founder of a group opposing Army development of poison gas, said: "Anyone who tries to minimize the toxicity of phosgene doesn't know what he is talking about." He said Merck's Index, a reference work, calls phosgene an "insidious poison as it is not irritating immediately even when fatal concentrations are inhaled." Republic Man's Condition 'Fair' John Salchow, 20, of Republic, is in "fair" condition today at St.

John's Hospital where he is being treated for internal injuries suffered at 12:40 a.m. today in the 2200 block West Sunshine.

Bars From Front Page the Irish Republic or the United Nations. Kevin McNamara, vice chairman of the British Labor party's Northern Ireland study group, demanded that Prime Minister Harold Wilson recall Parliament from its summer recess. Observers in Belfast said such a move was unlikely, although Wilson might summon a special meeting of his Cabinet. Prime Minister James Chichester-Clark of Northern Ireland insisted that his government would not consider any suggestion that the two Irelands be reunited under the Dublin government. "Let me make this clear," he said, "the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland governments stand together in their complete determination that we will not be forced out of the United Kingdom against our will.

In the last resort, our enemies face not only the determination of Ulster (Northern Ireland) but the might of Britain."

WEATHER By LAWRENCE KRUDWIG The variety of the Ozarks weather, which has amazed visitors and new residents and baffled weather forecasters for years, did not break with tradition in the last several days. Up until 48 hours ago, the Ozarks hills were beginning to remind many of the parched earth in the southwest sections of the U.S.

A cool frontal system was expected to move through the Ozarks Plateau last Thursday morning and head southwest leaving the area much the same as it found it. However, a balking ridge of high presstopped the front just short of the Ozarks, central Kansas, and northern Oklahoma. The combination of cooler air to the west, a low pressure system in Canada, and warm moisture-laden air from the Gulf of Mexico teamed up the wide-spread cloudiness over most of the area, Showers and thundershowers gradually crept in from the north. Presently the system is doing a military marching step called marking time over the four-corner section and the Ozarks. Up this morning, most heavier amounts rain were reported in Kansas and to the until north of the Ozarks.

Kansas City perienced the wettest day since 1808 when 7.44 inches of rain fell in the 24 hours period ending at 1 a.m. This was enough rain to bring the Missouri River at Kansas City, up an additional 2 and one half feet. Rain showers moved into the Ozarks this morning leaving Springfield with only .02 of an inch in the last 12 hours, but Jeplin reported 1.45, Harrison 1,59, Halltown 1.04, Lebanon ,67, and West Plains .58.
