WASHINGTON — Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian spent nearly five hours yesterday in meetings with top U.S. officials, including an Oval Office call on President Reagan, as both sides moved to repair the Washington-Peking relationship.
U. S. officials called the talks "broad ranging."
The Chinese news agency Xinhua, in a dispatch from Washington, described the 30-minute visit between Wu and Reagan as "a cordial meeting," but that Wu handed the president a letter from Premier Zhao Ziyang.
Zhao is expected to visit the United States early next year, and Reagan plans to visit China in April.
U. S. OFFICIALS DO not know the contents of the Zhao letter, but they said they expected the Chinese to further clarify their restrictions on U.S. restrictions on the sales of military equipment and high technology items.
The U.S. government has insisted on an assurance from China that it would not sell the U.S. equipment to other countries without U.S. permission. So far, the Chinese have refused, blocking the sales.
A scheduled meeting between Wu and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was canceled because Weinberger was sent by Reagan to head the U.S. delegation to attend the funerals of prominent South Koreans killed in a bomb blast in Burma.
Weinberger arranged to leave last night for Seoul and return to Washington on Friday. Wu is to leave Washington tomorrow
Ford favors arms buildup, talks
HONOLULU — Forme: President Gerald R. Ford, in an apparent attempt to quiet criticism from the conservative right over nuclear arms talks with the Soviets, said yesterday he favors negotiations with the Kremlin "just as strongly" as building up U.S. military forces.
By United Press International
Alluding to his talks nearly 10 years ago with Soviet Premier Leonid Breshnev, Ford said the negotiations have made him manage our differences without war."
"It was an honest and forthright desire to achieve a balanced reduction in the nuclear arms race between the superpowers. Ford said in a speech in 1984 that he associated "In no way did my negotiating with Mr. Brezhnev imply or
want more federal spending that's totally unjustified.
FORD SAID THAT "although I strongly support a strengthening of our conventional and strategic forces, I just as strongly favor constructive and responsible strategic and intermediate negotiations with the Soviet Union.
On the economy, Ford said the prospect of $200 billion budget deficits persisting for years threatened to undermine our economic recovery."
FORD ALSO GAVE support to legislation to increase the U.S. contribution to the International Monetary Fund, saying the IMF is viewed as "the central means of requiring fiscal and economic discipline in the debt nation."
"I warn my liberal people who are always pushing more and more so-called entitlements which cause many individual citizens to become more and more dependent on government / I remind those who advocate this policy that we should never forget that a person who wants everything we want is a government big enough to take from us everything we have."

He also praised Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, who earlier criticized the Fed's plans.
To reduce those deficits, Ford said the answer to fiscal responsibility in the Congress is the "election of Democrats" rather than "the incumbent," he says say no to those pressure groups who

Union or the dictatorship of the Kremlin.
Mervyn Silverman said he couldn't believe Shams Hospital in Gainesville, Fla. spawned $7,000 to fly Morgan MacDonald, 27, to San Francisco by boat. The couple moved on a stretcher at an AIDS research foundation with $300 pocket money
"Properly, I believe, President Reagan is pursuing the same strategic strategy."
Mayor Dianne Feinstein had telegraphed Gov. Graham Saturday demanding an investigation of the incident. She said the patient was "dumped" in San Francisco, an act she called "outrageous and inhumane."
PITTSBURGH — Directors of Gulf Oil Corp. voted yesterday to reorganize and restructure the company in a defensive move designed to prevent disruptive representatives from serving on its board.
Gulf reorganizes to guard against outside control
The move followed widespread rumors that Mesa Petroleum Co. Chairman T. Boone Pickens Jr. had been buying Gulf stock. Gulf shares rose in active trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.
Gulf, the nation's fifth largest oil company, would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf Corp., a newly formed Delaware holding company. Present shareholders would receive shares in the holding company.

There have been widely published reports that one or more people may be accumulating substantial interest in the company.
Since Mesa is valued at about $1 billion and Gulf at between $7 and $8 billion, analysts said a takeover of Gulf by Mesa was unlikely.
Even though Mesa is not in the big oil league, Pickens put its Service Co on the defensive by buying some of its

"We're in the health business, not the transportation business." Silverman said. "We can't forget that here's an opportunity to learn how to move begged by this like a tragedy."
MacDonald was listed in poor but stable condition yesterday.
"I certainly would hope that the state of Florida, or the hospital / I'm not sure which would reimburse San Francisco," we are providing," Silverman said.
SILVERMAN SAID IT was costing the city at least $500 a day to care for MacDonald at San Francisco General Hospital's special AIDS ward, the only hospital in the nation set up to treat the deadly Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
The health official noted the patient was free to return to Florida if he wanted. However, he called Mac Donald's condition "acute" and said the primary concern was that he be properly cared for.
Silverman said MacDonald told him he was transported to the West Coast against his will. He was accompanied a physician, a social worker and a nurse.
IN FLORIDA, Steve Hull, press secretary for Gov. Bob Graham, said the state's Department of Health and Medicine was asked to investigate the matter.
Silverman said although San Francisco is serving as a model for AIDS treatment and research, with $4 million in city money already involved, he didn't consider the city to be a recipient for AIDS patients nationwide.
"From the reports we have received from the HRS, the state had no involvement in this matter." Hull said. "This was a decision made independent of the department." At Hospital. At this point, there is really no action the state is going to be taking."
"The money we're spending is to take care of the people of San Francisco," he said. "The federal government isn't paying for this care."
FLORIDA HEALTH department spokesman Danny Pietrodangelo said the transfer of MacDonald was indicative of the growing fear by health workers of contracting AIDS, which cripples body's natural immune system and causes victims susceptible to a host of illness including various forms of cancer.
The disease has afflicted 2,416 people and killed 981 since it was first recognized in 1981. Most of the victims are homosexual men.

Virginia Hunt of Shands Hospital said the hospital just wanted to get Mac Donald into a decent out-patient program in which no Florida facilities knew him.
