Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.), in a sharp new attack on President John- son's war policies, declared yester- day, "It is immoral and intoler- able for this country to continue as we have" in Vietnam. And Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D- Ark.) asserted that the 1964 Ton- kin Gulf resolution, on which the administration h a s frequently based its war decisions, "has been repealed by its own original in- validity based on false represen- tations." They joined with several other senators in demands on the Senate floor that Congress be consulted by the President before there is any new major escalation of the war. Viet Senate Rebuffs ThieuI SaIGON-A rebuff by the Viet- namese Senate and a petition circulating among representatives Thursday indicated growing po- litical trouble in the weeks ahead for President Nguyen Van Thieu. In a 40-3 vote, the Senate turn- ed down Thieu's request for addi- tional emergency powers in fi-. nance and economy. The House had voted similarly last week to deny Thieu's request.

On the surface the actions{ were explained simply: a fear among legislators in both houses that Thieu, who already had de- creed special powers for the ex- ecutive to meet the Communist military challenge, was trying to take too much power. Both actions also reflected dis- satisfaction among some legisla- tors at the manner in which the government squared off against the Communist lunar new year, offensive and the measures it is taking now. Legislative critics include a newly formed group of 42 House members who call themselves the democratic bloc. They are consid- ered to favor Vice President Ngu- yen Cao Ky, leading to speculation that Thieu's latest troubles are due to animosity between him and Ky. Adviser Recommends Dumping Contraband WASHINGTON -- A secret military maneuver to seize all contraband in South Vietnam and dump it in the sea was rec- ommended by a U.S. civilian ad- gone." But he said that between seiz- ing and dumping, "no time must be allowed for 'injustices' to be righted, which is to say, before powerful individuals can recover from the shock and take steps to protect their interests." The adviser's immediate su- perior recommended to the com- mittee that the United States seize the initiative to end corrup- tion before "the whole country and our efforts on its behalf go down the drain." The reports were made avail- able to Sen. Ernest Gruening (D- Alaska), chairman of the Senate foreign aid expenditures subcom- mittee. He promised new hearings by April into corruption, declar-- ing that the reports show "whole- sale corruption on every level." The adviser said: "Available are Navy issued combat boots, jungle greens, Polaroid cameras, mari- juana, U.S. and other foreign cigarettes, Army rations, fresh American fruit, Communist man- ufactured goods and petroleum products." * * * U.S. Combat Deaths Multiply SAIGON-Hard fighting through the first nine weeks of 1968 has escalated American combat deaths in Vietnam to a rate nearly three times that in the same period a year ago, official figures showed Thursday. Allied-spokesmen consider the+ Viet Cong and their North Vietna- mese allies, who sacrificed battal- ion after battalion in the lunar new year offensive, have lost men at a far higher rate. The U.S. Command announced 542 Americans were killed in ac- tion last week, a toll surpassed only by the 543 who fell in the week of Feb. 11-17. The death roll since Jan. 1 had' risen by last Saturday to 3,254, compared with 9,353 through all 1967. American combat deaths' through the first nine weeks last year totaled 1,256. , The statistics came out in Sai- gon while waves of B52 Strato-+ fortresses and tactical jets rained hundreds of tons of bombs on' Communist positions ringing the; U.S. Marine fortress at Khe Sanh and menacing its aerial lifeline.1 -Associated Press GRINNING BOMBER The snub-nosed A7A Corsair II is a new Navy workhorse attack plane which literally carries its own weight in bombs and missiles.

The pledge is designed primarily to re- assure India, fearful of a nuclear attack from Red China. U.S. Delegate William C. Fos- ter and Russia's Alexei S.

General Assembly, which is expected to reconvene next month to give its final approval to the treaty.

Wilson's statement in the House of Commons followed a Cabinet meeting that decided against any action that might break Britain's frail link with its former colony. Rhodesia still recognizes the queen as its sovereign. The Cabinet de- cidede to confine Britain's reaction to condemnation. Inhuman Wilson discussed with Edward Heath and Jeremy Thorpe, lead- ers of the opposition Conserva- tives and Liberals, the passage of an all party resolution in Parlia- ment next week indicting the Smith regime for what was- seen here as an inhuman, unlawful and immoral act. But it looked later as if Wilson would not succeed. The Liberal party said it would go along but Heath declined to commit the Conservatives to any such action. Death Sentence Wilson disclosed one of the reasons for restraint: 115 Africans -including eight guerrillas con- victed in Salisbury Thursday-are under sentence of death in Rho- desia. There are fears among British leaders that their hang- ings might well turn into a mas- sacre. "Despite the natural desire of all of us to find a way of im- mediately hitting back Ido not recommend we should seek to deal with the situation by gestures which, however self satisfying, are ineffective and meaningless," Wil- son said. s Roundup' tors, were rowing over and back across the icy Potomac River when their 25 foot canoe apparently flip- ped. * * WASHINGTON - The United States is expected to reject a re- quest to extradite Maj. Gen. Jan Sejna, the former Communist com- missar at the Czechoslovakian De- fense Ministry, if such a request is made.' State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey, referring to a reported announcement from the Prague's Foreign Ministry said yesterday "we would expect to re- ceive one." Explosives Most of Africa was in an up roar over the hangings.

Later, 30 women members of a Rhodesian exiled nationalist or- ganization stoned the building and broke 18 windows. They were dis- persed by police. Protesters Arrested In S. Carolina COLUMBIA, S.C. (P) - Several Negro students from South Caro- lina State College in Orangeburg were arrested yesterday after 150 came to the state Capitol while the Legislature was in ses- sion and caused a disruption which forced adjournament. At least six students were brought out of the building by agents of the State Law En- orcement Division. They were admitted to the galleries of the House and Sen- ate, but Lt. Gov. John West, president of the Senate, ruled them out of order when screams and shouts were heard. He warn- ed then they would be arrested if the commotion continued. About 75 of the students went to the foyer of Gov. Robert Mc- Nair's office on the first floor of the Capitol. They said they wanted to present a list of griev- ances to the governor. The Negroes were protesting the fatal shooting of three S.C. State students by South Carolina high- way patrolmen in a melee near the college campus the night of Feb. 8. The commotion yesterday forced both the House and the Senate to abruptly adjourn. The House was debating the state's 1968-69 budget bill and the Senate was knotted in a filibuster over a milk fixing bill. A spokesman for the group an- nounced they wanted to read a petition for redress of grievances. West advised that Senate rules did not allow petitions to be read from the gallery. He said it the petition was sent down to the desk, it would be read. ). I i E "BEST FOREIGN FILM OF THI -New York Film C "ONE OF.
