The testimony came from Robert M. Brieze, 49, who was aboard the cutter as president of the New Bedford Seafood Producers Association for fishing talks with the Soviets when the incident occurred. Brieze told a House Foreign Affairs During LalboF slowdown Tl iDllaCES OWL 1 LONDON-Britain's worst bout of industrial strife in recent years blackened out much of the country for the second consecutive day Tuesday. It also closed many automotive plants, docks, markets and schools and left most Britons without newspapers for 24 hours. Prime Minister Edward Heath told ' 124,000 power workers who launched a slowdown and overtime ban Monday they are causing "grave hardship to the nation, disrupting industry and endangering health." But .another union representing 26,000 electric power engineers called on them to join the slowdown Monday - "THE U.S. CUSTOMS CUPiEAU CAT.HED IT AS G2SCEKE!

Eustis, the commander, told him the Coast Guard office in Boston ordered him to return the defector, Simas Kudirka, to Soviet custody and he had no choice but to obey. "At this time, Eustis was crying," he said. But on the return trip to New Bedford, Mass., he said, Eustis asked the five civilians aboard "to keep the matter quiet." Brieze also said he urged Eustis to ft rt O The country was hit by two separate labor front upheavals. The first was the slowdown by the electricity workers, which began Monday to back their 30 per cent pay hike claim and was of definite duration. The state-run electricity board, with government backing, has offered 10 per cent and refused to go higher. . The second surge of unrest was aimed against government legislation to curb powers of labor unions and crimp wildcat strikes. . ..

Thursday. Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe, asking Congress to approve a 45-day strike delay, said his department "would give consideration to the contact the State Department in Washington before handing Kudirka to the Russians, but Eustis did not respond. However, he said, the captain allowed Soviet officers to : place a call to the Soviet Embassy in Washington from his ship. - Brieze, who fled his homeland in 1944 after the Soviets occupied it, also said Eustis made the decision to allow Soviet officers to come aboard and take Kudirka back rather than having U.S. Coast Guardsmen do the job. "I told him he was condemning Kudirka to death or Siberia," Brieze said, testifying in halting English with a heavy accent. "He said, Bah, I can't help that. I've got to fulfill my orders.' " S. Paul Zumdakis, attorney for Brieze, said the Coast Guard allowed him to examine belongings Kudirka left behind. Among them he said, he found a quotation ' Kudirka had written in Lithuanian which said: "A man born in a cave cannot appreciate what freedom is. A man who is hungry for freedom must be fed. To die for freedom is not a big risk." ' After Brieze read his statement, subcommittee Chairman Wayne L. Hays, D-Ohio, said: "This is about as sickening a story as I've ever heard. The man responsible for ordering the return of this defector should be court-martialed, dismissed from the service and preferably sent to Siberia'." MOSCOW-Soviet leaders proposed a record $188.2 billion national budget Tuesday that puts emphasis on butter rather than guns for 1 97 1 . The budget, which exceeds that for 1970 by $27.6 billion, contained a defense appropriation that increased only slightly over last year. But it called for huge investments in the country's lagging agriculture and consumer production to back up promises of more cars, refrigerators, apartments and health services. The budget was outlined by Finance Minister Vasily Garbuzoy in a 90-minute speech before the Supreme Soviet Parliament of the Soviet Union. The budget, already approved by the all-powerful Communist Party Central Committee, will receive nearly automatic approval in the Supreme Soviet. Tired of Having Somebody Else Walking on Your Feet?

Volpe read a statement to reporters after the president of one of four unions involved said that neither Congress nor the courts would prevent a walkout. "We are not prepared to forego our basic risht to strike," said President C. L. Denis of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline clerks. "The law says we can strike at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10. We intend to do that." Denis accused President Nixon of "pulling the rug out" from under iabor negotiators by asking Congress to impose -a 45-day strike postponement. He said Nixon's request was a signal to management that there was no urgent need to reach a contract settlement before the strike deadline. The rail unions have promised to move vital materials in case of a strike, but Volpe said a nationwide rail shutdown would cause a critical situation because no other transportation system could carry all the goods now moved via rail. The Transportation Department, Volpe said, had drafted emergency plans that will be placed in effect should a strike be called. Asked if the government would use troops or nationalize the railroads, Volpe replied: - TTTT T TJ n DETROIT The United Auto Workers' .

But he added that "the Soviets cannot disregard the activities of the 7 imperialists, who are strengthening their 0 military blocs and waging an arms race." For that reason, Garbuzov said, the budget called for the equivalent of $19.9 billion for defense. The defense figure Jwas $100 million higher, than the appropriation for 1970, but it "represented only 11.1 per cent of the f 1971 record budget compared with 12.4 ; f ' per cent for 1970.

But the Marine Corps'said it is sticking by its promise' that if anything, it is going to get tougher-no matter what the other services do. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, Army chief of staff, 4 issued instructions to his In the past, the council always has recommended that the workers accept the agreement their bargainers reached and the workers always have gone along with the council's recommendation. After spending most of the day going line-by-line through the proposed agreement,, the 200-member council voted to recommend acceptance of the agreement. Ratification voting was expected to begin Wednesday or Thursday and to be completed by Saturday. If the workers vote to accept the agreement, it will become effective next Monday. - The Ford - agreement is virtually, identical to 4r v6hevther unibn's Genera!' Motors workers ratified Nov. 20.

The Air Force announced Monday that it was relaxing its restrictions, too, but did not appear to go as far as the Navy and Army. The steps are being taken to make the services more attractive for enlisted men in anticipation of an end to the draft within the next two years. Gen. Leonard F. Chapman Jr., commandant of the Marine Corps noted for its toughness, said recently that his service won't go along with the changes. A spokesman said Tuesday that the corps will stick with Chapman's promise despite the changes by the other services. "Actions must be taken to improve the soldier's initial impression of the Army," Westmoreland said in relaxing Army requirements. "I am directing the Army staff to review unnecessarily restrictive or unnecessary Army regulations and to simplify the languag; and the content of existing regulations." Westmoreland's orders would eliminate reveille formation except for ceremonial, training or "other special occasions" and even then, he said, 'They should be musters of all officers and enlisted men from the commander on down." The Army also will try to improve communication between officers and.r enlisted men,,, and, ..will eliminate-, restrictions on the distance a soldier with a -pass'' may travel 'and the sign-in and sign-out requirements.
