Government May Be in Red by as Much as $12.9 Billion WASHINGTON (P The tederal government may be running in the red by as much as $12.9 billion on June 30 at the end of the fiscal year, according to a joint congressional committee. That compares with a $1.3 billion deficit estimated by President Nixon in a revised budget last May. The Committee on Reduction of Federal Expenditures said Thursday that some of the differences in the two predictions can be attribued to administration requested revenue measures not passed by Congress.

Congress has also increased by $5.7 billion the amount of money Nixon wanted appropriated for various programs, a staff report said.

Drum Beats Greet Pope in Ceylon COLOMBO Ceylon (P) Amid the beating of traditional Buddhist temple drums, Pope Paul VI arrived in Ceylon tonight from Hong Kong on the last stop of his 28,000 mile Asian journey.

The pontiff's chartered jetliner touched down at Colombo's airport where s.veral hundred thousand cheering, waving persons gathered on the edge of a runway next to a coconut plantation to hear the Pope celebrate Mass during his two-hour stopover. As the 73-year-old Pope walked down the plane's gangway, colorful Buddhist temple drummers beat out an auspicious percussion rhythm known as "Magul Bera" or Auspicious Drums. The first to greet the pontiff were Gov. Gen. William Gopallawa and Prime Minister Siri mavo Bandaranaike, a Buddhist who only, nine years ago was denounced from Catholic pulpits for her government's takeover of Church schools.

Contrasting with the Oriental greeting, the Ceylon navy's bandsmen, dressed in Scottish kilts, played the National anthem and the papal anthem on bagpipes. It appeared that most of Ceylon's 800,000 Catholics out of a total predominantly Buddhist population of 12 million had come to the airport. Thousands of Catholics who are fishermen along the western coast had dropped anchor at the nearby village of Negombo. In Hong Kong on the doorstep of Red China, the Pope made an indirect appeal for an end to religious persecution by Peking and the admission of Roman Catholic missionaries. "Christ is teacher, a shepherd and a loving redeemer for China too," the 73-year-old pontiff told 40,000 Hong Kong Chinese as he celebrated Mass in the rain in a soccer stadium.

He made clear he was also speaking to "all the Chinese people, wherever they are." And as he left for Ceylon and Rome after his three-hour visit on Red China's doorstep, Pope Paul said goodby not only to those around him at the airport but also to the "unnumbered we seem to see beyond this room," an unmistakable reference to the 750 million Chinese under Mao Tsetung's rule. The Pope made no specific mention of the Communist regime in Peking. Local Catholic sources said he did not want to worsen the lot of the socalled "underground, Church" on the mainland by being condemnatory nor did he want to anger anti-Communist Catholics in Hong Kong and Formosa by appearing placatory.

From left, they are: Front -Annette Mehurg of Attala, and New Lawyer to Stand in at Tate Trial LOS ANGELES (P Over loud protests by Charles Manson and three women codefendants, the judge in the Sharon Tate murder trial has named a lawyer stand-in for missing defense attorney Ronald Hughes, feared lost in a rugged wilderness area. James Forsher and Lauren Elder, both 17 and of West Los Angeles, have told sheriff's investigators that they drove the missing attorney to Sespe Hot Springs, 130 miles north of here on a weekend outing. Miss Elder said she and Forsher decided to return to Los Angeles after it began to rain Saturday but that Hughes elected to stay behind. "I just got the impression from him that he wasn't too worried about not being able to get out," she said. "I don't think he thought he'd have any trouble leaving at a later time." The search for Hughes continued, but Judge Charles Older appointed veteran criminal attorney Maxwell Kieth Thursday to substitute for him as counsel for Leslie Van Houten, 21.

"I wish to be heard," said Miss Van Houten. "I don't accept this man as my counsel. Also, I wish to testify." The slender brunette was joined by a chorus of objections from Manson and the other two women Susan Atkins, 22, and Patricia Krenwinkel, 22. All said they wanted to fire their attorneys, represent themselves and reopen the defense case. "We have 21 witnesses who are willing to get up and testify in behalf of our defense," said Miss Atkins.

Manson, 36, told the judge "I'd like to offer a defense very I much." "You're cutting our throats by not letting us defend our-' selves," cried Miss Krenwinkel. The four defense attorneys including Hughes rested their case Nov. 19 without calling a witness. They said they did it to stop the three women from testifying and possibly incriminating themselves.

CROSS From Page One agreement worked out between Canadian officials and the kidnapers. The negotiations took place at the Expo site and in a house in North Montreal where Cross had been held since he was kidnaped Oct. 5 by members of the FLQ, or Quebec Liberation Front, a terrorist group that demands indpendence for the French-speaking province Quebec. The terrorists threatened kill him unless the government freed 23 FLQ members and paid a ransom of $500,000 gold.

When the government refused, another FLQ cell kidnaped Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte on Oct. 10 and murdered him a week later. The events leading up Cross' release began late Wednesday when police, acting on various tips, moved in on kidnapers' hideout and surrounded it. Late Wednesday night, parently in response to what must have appeared to be imminent capture, someone threw a piece of pipe containing offer to negotiate from an upper window of the three-story house. Police shut off the eiectricity, evacuated nearby homes, and strenthened their guard around the building.

Reporters were kept at a distance. Lawyers Negotiate Two lawyers entered building early Thursday begin negotiations. They were Robert Demers, who had negotiated for the government earlier attempts to free Cross, and Bernard Mergler, who has defended FLQ members court a number of times. Early Thursday afternoon Cross, two of his captors, Marc Carbonneau and Jacques Lanctot, and the two lawyers walked out of the house and into a battered 1962 Chrysler. The cordon around the building opened to let through a cavalcade of police motorcycles and cars.

Their sirens screaming, they escorted the Chrysler high speed through the streets of Montreal and 1 to the island where the world's fair was held. Police said they feared that there were explosives both the house and in the car, which belonged to one of the napers. Some 50 to 60 motorcycles were in the convoy accompanied the car to island, and intersections along the way were blocked off. Once on the island, Cross his captors went into building that was the Canadian pavilion during the fair. It a been declared temporary Cuban territory for purposes of exchange.
