Kissinger said yesterday "it is a symptom of what is happening to our country that it could even be suggested" the U.S. military alert was a tactic to divert Attention from President Nixon's domestic problems. The White House said the Middle East situation forced Nixon to cancel both a televised address to the people Wednesday night and a news conference last night. Both had been almost cer- tain to deal largely with an impeachment in- quiry in the House and Nixon's firing of Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox.

TORONTO (AP)--The appearance of Secretariat and his jockey in the Canadian International Championship Stakes at Woodbine race track Sunday is a pretty iffy thing. If Ron Turcotte rides Secretariat--and there is some doubt about his status--it will be his seventh time in the race, a $125,000 added event at 1 5/8 miles over the Marshall turf course.
