Police arrested Marcus Wayne Chenault, 21, a black man who arrived in Atlanta by bus on Saturday. In Columbus, Ohio, where he was an Ohio Stale junior, police searched his apartment and said they found a list of civil rights leaders marked for death. Atlanta police said they had no evidence anyone else worked with, the gunman.

One spokesman, when asked about Chenault's motivation, said flatly: "He's crazy." Mrs. King was killed during morning services at Ebenezer Baptist Church while she played the organ and the choir intoned the opening words' of "The Lord's Prayer." Atlanta police quoted Chenault. as saying he really meant to kill Mrs. King's husband, the pastor of the church. The Rev.

King, 74, was not preaching Sunday and entered the church as the shooting started. In Columbus, Detective Sgt. John Tilley said police found a notebook and a worn Bible containing many underlined passages in the apartment Chenault had rented near the Ohio State campus. Tilley said the evidence indicated the King slaying was to be the first of 10. He refused to reveal the complete list but said it included the Rev.

Ralph Abernathy, who succeeded the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Hosea Williams, head of the Atlanta SCLC, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson of Chicago, head of Operation PUSH.

Aberanthy and Williams both talked to Chenault in the Atlanta Jail and said they were convinced he was part of a conspiracy to kill civil rights leader. Atlanta police said they had no evidence of any conspiracy. Chenault was jailed on two counts of murder, one count of assault and one count of carrying a concealed weapon. Chenault leaped to his feet as the choir and congregation were singing the Lord's Prayer, whipped out two revolvers and opened fire, screaming and cursing. He shot Mrs.

King, then leaped into the choir stall and began firing wildly. Churchgoers dived under the pews until they heard the revolver clicking on empty shells, then pursued the gunman to the back of the church, wrestled him to the floor and subdued him. One of the first to reach Chenault was Derek King, one' of the slain woman's grandsons. Both of Mrs. King's sons died violently Martin Luther Jr.

the hospital. Mrs. Jimmy Mitchell, 65, was in satisfactory condition. Assistant Chief of Police Mullins told newsmen that "Chenault told police he received orders form his God to come to Atlanta and kill the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr.

Chenault told investigators the reason he shot Mrs. King was because they were worshiping a false idol. The elder King was under sedation at his home. After seeing his wife shot and finding at the hospital that she was dead, he went to the police station to see Chenault, according to Mayor Maynard Jackson. "She went home while serving the Lord," the sobbing Rev.

King said. Coretta King, widow of Martin Luther King arrived at her father-in-law's home several hours after the shooting. Police guards were set up around the police station some armed with riot guns to check the identification of everyone entering the building. A police spokesman said, "the guard was put there because some persons in the black community and others might want to shoot the guy that shot Mrs. King." He told the Rev.

King that "all Christians are my enemies," said Jackson. Chenault also told the elder King that he believes in the Moslem faith, according to Jackson. Those who knew Chenault in Dayton were baffled and shocked when they heard the news. He was described as "a nice kid," by hometown neighbors, had lived with his parents in a modest and well-kept middle-class neighborhood on the predominantly black West Side, on Oak Ridge Drive, a quiet residential street. Later he moved to an apartment near the campus at Ohio State.

WITH LIGHT BANTER and laughter, the two leaders began their day at Brezhnev's seaside retreat with a stroll through the lush grounds, stopping to pose for photo-grapers in a variety of settings.

Brezhnev then summoned his yacht and the party took a nearly three-hour cruise up and down the coast, passing below a clifftop 1912 castle known as the Sparrows Nest, where Pat Nixon was sightseeing.

Brezhnev, smiling and chatting, met for hours beside the Black Sea Sunday, but a spokesman said their discussions on ways to end the nuclear arms race probably would not result In any breakthroughs. The two leaders met both formally and Informally for a total of seven hours.

They strolled about joking and laughing in the sunshine, then rode on Brezhnev's white 120-foot yacht. Mr. Nixon will address the nation Wednesday from Caribou, Maine, the first place he lands upon his return from the Soviet summit talks. The presidential report will be nationally televised from Caribou, which is near the Canadian border. "In the time they spent alone together they had time to discuss other questions than SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) relating to general armaments and East- After securing the shed, the men returned to their quarters.

About 25 minutes after their exposure to the gas, the men developed an almond taste in their mouths, weakness in their knees, lightheadedness and nausea all symptoms of cyanic poisoning, Homeyer said. The men went to General Hospital and were released after treatment by a toxicologist. Homeyer said one of the canisters apparently was leaking. The chemical was supposed to have been destroyed years ago by the Army, he said. A superintendent at the warehouse, who had kept account of the canisters, said none was missing.

Firemen went back to the warehouse and took all the canisters to Engine Co. 16, Copelan St. and McMillan and placed them The fire apparently flashed through from an adjoining building spreading blinding, choking fumes across the crowded dance floor. Some of the victims may have died when heavy air conditioning units on top of the one-story nightclub crashed on to the dance floor crushing many of the young people who only minutes before had been dancing at the popular club. At least a half dozen pairs of charred shoes were found on the stairway leading to the dance floor from the upper level-left there by patrons crawling to safety.

Gas Prices Cut A two-cents-a-gallon cut in gasoline prices, effective today, was announced Sunday by the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio. New pump prices are 55.8 cents for regular and lead-free gas and 59.8 cents for premium at company-operated stations. Independent dealers set their own prices, the announcement noted. West relations in general," said White House press secretary Ronald L.

Ziegler. "President Nixon said to me that the talks today on strategic arms limitation were very extensive On Page 16: Accords' impact limited. and intensive. He said various positions were reviewed and discussed In detail." Asked if the talks had changed any of the pessimistic pre-summit predictions, Ziegler said: "I would add that nothing I have been told today as a result of the talks would in any way alter what you have been told in briefings before we arrived here." A Soviet spokesman quoted Brezhnev as saying, "There are still questions to be discussed. There are outside the building, under guard, for safekeeping.

They later were returned to the warehouse shed. A chemical company is to be called in today to dispose of the canisters. FIRE CHIEF Bert Lugannani said it is believed the metal canisters decomposed, over the years, causing one to leak. The storage firm, years ago, used the gas to fumigate furniture and stored the gas in the shed. It was apparently overlooked after the Army failed to destroy it.

Homeyer said it was lucky no one entered the shed, because the gas can be fatal in a short time in a closed space. Homeyer said his men were aware of the hazard but unaware of the leak because, being outside in the open air; they detected no unusual odor. A rock group called the Creation was blaring away in the laughter-filled, dimly lit room on the Boston Post Road at the New York-Connecticut border when the first wisps of acrid-smelling smoke drifted in. The leader, John Henderson, said he did not smell the smoke but "we were told to give an announcement that there was a fire nearby and not to get excited. "We told them there was no danger and to leave calmly." Drummer Paul Carvallo said "people were about half way up the, stairs when the lights went out and' there was lots of smoke.

That's when the panic started." Organist Damon DeSeis and lead singer George Clark stayed behind trying to calm the crowd. It was not. known whether they escaped. Joe Parsons of Stamford, a part-time worker at the discotheque, said "In the beginning there was no panic, but then the place filled up with smoke and everyone became disoriented." A routine fire drill Sunday resulted in nine Cincinnati firemen being made ill by unexpected exposure to a dose of poisonous hydrogen cyanic gas. The firemen, eight firefighters and a marshal, were training at a Security Moving and Storage Co.

building, 706 Oak Avondale, at 9:55 a.m. They noticed a shed on the property that had apparently been forced open, Marshal Robert Homeyer said. WHILE INVESTIGATING the shed, the firemen came upon three canisters of the gas a type used for executions in prisons and by the Nazis before and during World War II. Twelve more canisters were stored in the shed, Homeyer said, although firemen did not open the building. An SLA 'Trademark' Bullets At Patty's Contained Cyanide By RONALD KOZIOL Chicago Tribune BERKELEY, Cal.

A box containing 25 cyanide-filled bullets was discovered in the apartment here of Patricia Hearst the day after she was kidnaped but has been kept a closely guarded secret by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A continuing Chicago Tribune investigation into the Hearst kidnaping turned up the information that the deadly 9-milimeter Luger bullets were found hidden under a bookshelf in the apartment Miss Hearst shared with her fiance, Steven Weed. A 9 milimcter gun and similar bullets were used to murder Oakland School Supt. Marcus Foster November 4. Two members of the Symbionese Liberation Army now are in custody, charged with that crime.

An FBI spokesman in San Francisco confirmed thediscoveryof the bullets and added further mystery to the already bizzare case when he said: "We still don't know what the bullets mean or if they were left behind by Miss Hearst's kidnapers. However, we stil believe that the kidnaping was bona fide and that Miss Hearst was not a party to it." According to the spokesman, "Weed told us he didn't know anything about the bullets or how they got there." Miss Hearst, the 20-year-old publishing heiress, subsequently announced she had Joined her SLA abductors and took part in several terrorist escapades, Including bank robbery, kidnaping, and auto theft. FBI agents and Berkeley police conducted what they believed was a thorough searrh for clues within hours after Miss Hearst was kidnaped from her apartment here on February 4. However, it failed to turn up the bullets. The next day, agents again searched the apartment, even going so far as to use vacuum cleaners to pick up the tiniest particles from the floor.

This time, the bullets were found underneath the bookshelf at the entrance hallway of the apartment. "They were certainly hidden and whoever put them there didn't want them found," said a source close to the investigation. The bo and bullets were rushed to the FBI's crime laboratory In Washington. A confidential report submitted by BUI technicians on February 7 contained the following notation: The hollow points in the cartridges contain potassium cyanide sealed in a layer of paraffin. No latent fingerprints could be found on either the box or the bullets." FBI firearms experts then attempted to compare several shells found "outside the home of Miss Hearst, since her kidnapers had fired a fusillade of bullets as they fled.

It was learned none of the shells could be linked to those found in the apartment. Authorities had speculated that the bullets were left behind by the kidnapers as a further means of authenticating the abduction. It was believed at first that subsequent communiques issued by the terrorist group would contain some mention of the bullets, but they never did. FBI officials even kept the discovery of the bullets a secret from other Bay area law enforcement agencies investigating the kidnaping. Police in the area have been resentful for months about the way the FBI has conducted its investigation, contending federal agents deliberately withheld information from them.

Cyanide-tipped bullets have served as a trademark of the SLA since its inception. Besides being used to kill Dr. Foster, police found evidence that an SLA hideout in San Francisco was used to make the bullets. Drills to hollow out the cartridges and paraffin were found in the hideout. AFTER A FIERY shootout in Los Angeles on May 17, in which six SLA members were killed, police also discovered several cyanide-tipped bullets.

Miss Hearst, herself, made reference to the use of cyanide bullets by SLA members. This was on May 16 when Miss Hearst and two surviving members of the SLA fled a police dragnet and kidnaped an 18-year-old youth. She reportedly told him, "Some people think you can't kill anyone with cyanide bullets, but you can." N.Y. Discotheque Fire Kills 24 AP and Other Wires PORT CHESTER, N.Y. Fire and thick smoke swept a swinging discotheque jammed with young merrymakers from the affluent.

Westchester and Connecticut communities early Sunday, killing 24 of them. Medical authorities said 11 women and 13 men all died of smoke inhalation. Intense heat burned their bodies after death which came "within minutes, sometimes within-seconds," they said. The bodies of the victims were taken to Grasslands Hospital in nearby Valhalla, N.Y., but identification was hampered by the fact that many of the patrons of the pub, "Gulliver's," apparently were under the local legal drinking age of 18 years and had forged identification cards to admit them to the club. Rescue workers said about two; score more were treated on the scene or at hospitals for light cases of, smoke Inhalation..
