Obscenity Law To Be Reviewed WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court agreed today to review a federal law that prohibits the import of any obscene book, advertisem*nt, photograph or drawing from abroad.

A hearing will be held later this term with a decision expected by next June. The law was challenged successfully by Milton Luros, a Los Angeles dealer, who won recovery of 37 photographs seized by customs agents in October 1969. Luros, returning from Europe, planned to use some or all of the photos in a hard cover edition of a book that describes sexual positions.

The federal court in Los An-: geles said the law violates the freedom of people- who would buy the book to review whatever they wish in the privacy of their homes. The unanimous ruling relied on a. Supreme -Court of April 1969 that held possession of obscence films or printed matter in the privacy of a man's home cannot be made a crime. Girl Believed Found WOODBRIDGE (AP).

"Unless we have success in SALT (Strategic Arms LimitaTalks) and these other negotiating areas," he said, "we are going to have to face up to some bard, tough decisions here which could require a tremendous increase as far as defense expenditures are concerned." Laird said as a matter of fact some new programs have been held up pending the outcome of the SALT talks being conducted in Vienna. When asked how long the United States could afford such a delay, Laird responded: "I don't believe from the standpoint of a defense planner we can delay these decisions more than .12 months." Rogers took a slightly softer approach to Soviet intentions when he said recent statements from Moscow attacking U.S.

peace proposals in the Mideast and Indochina -may be public windowdressing. "The public position they take in the press doesn't necessarily coincide. with the official attitude," the nation's top diplomat said.

When asked about a recent Soviet press description of Preident Nixon's point Indochina peace plan as "a great fraud," Rogers said it "is standard Communist propaganda, which we expected "I have a feeling that the Soviet Union and Hanoi will both give 'very careful consideration to the President's proposal because of the tremendous support that the proposals have received not only in this country but all over the world." But Laird, expressing the onthe hand approach that often marked the appearance, declined "to any prediction as to the of the U.S. peace drive. The secretary of. state also seemed willing to give Moscow more of the benefit of a doubt concerning the recent hardened Soviet position on the Mideast peace plan being pushed by the United States.

He said the official Soviet response has not come in yet to recent U.S. statements alleging Moscow helped Egypt violate the Arab-Israeli cease-fire but "on the other hand, there have been indications from the Soviet Union and Egypt that they would like. to extend the ceasefire" sponsored by the United States. In spite of his lack of full confidence in Soviet intentions, Laird said President Nixon's proclaimed "Era of Negotiation" had not fallen into a time of confrontation. But Laird also said Soviet arms production has strong momentum, "while we are going down." It was at this point he made the warning about a big Increase U.S.

arms spending if U.S.-Soviet negotiations fail. Laird had happier news to report in discussing the progress of President Nixon's' plan to transfer the bulk of the Vietnam fighting. to the South Vietnamese. He said an annouricement would be made in Saigon today "that we have beaten the troop ceiling which was announced by President Nixon to take effect on Oct. 15, which is 384,000 by several thousand troops." Laird and Rogers moved back and forth between the problems of the Middle" East and Vietpam, making these points: -A meeting between Nixon and Soviet Premier Alexel Kosygin would not be timely at the moment.

A -Any new American aid program from the a Middle East could include the Palestinians, although there is nothing specif. ic, to report at this time. -Discussions between the United States and the Soviet Unton and next week will provide the start. for new Middle East negotiations. -It is too early to tell if the new Egyptian President, Sadat, will adhere to the policies of the late President Nasser.

-Cambodian and South Vietnamese troops can handle the situation in Cambodia and there will be no need for another U.S. incursion into that Southeast. Asian nation. -The Vietnamization program will continue regardless of the outcome of negotiations with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
