WARSAW, Poland WP - Three Iren have been attacked in the state
officials of the Polish Communist
reglie were fired yesterday after
their children, students, took. part
in three days of riotous demon-
strations.
The official Polish news agency
PAP announced the dismissal of
controlled press as ringleaders of
demonstrations.
The newspaper Kurier Polski
said the organizers of the distur-
bances, which have rocked War-
saw since Friday, were members
of the so called "Babel Club" con-
swept to the doorstep of Commun-
ist party headquarters Monday. It
said of 300 persons arrested, 30
were students.
However, there was still dis-
content in the city's colleges and
universities, where students at
meetings discussed their displeas-

WASHINGTON P)--Sen. J. W.
Fulbright failed yesterday to win
a clear administration promise to
consult his Foreign Relations
Committee before deciding wheth-
er to send more U.S. troops to
Vietnam.
"If more troops are needed,
Secretary of State Dean Rusk told
the committee, "we will-as we
have done in the past-consult
with appropriate members of Con-
gress."
With that, the two day nation-
ally televised and broadcast Rusk-
Fulbright confrontation ended.
Although the Arkansas Democrat
told a newsman he was not satis-
fied withCRusk's answer on con-
sulting Congress,' he appeared
publicly togaccept Rusk's promise
to appear in closed session with
the committee to expand on his
limited public explanation on the
administration's Vietnam policy.
Never Answered
"He never did answer us," Ful-
bright told newsmen later. "He
didn't say positively he would, and
he didn't say positively he
wouldn't."
Asked whether Rusk's testimony
had altered his opposition to Pres-
ident Johnson's course in Vietnam,
Fulbright said, "it was confirmed
my worst fears."
The testimony-totaling about
101 hours over two days-pro-
iuced no announced changes of
minds or policy on either side.
Rusk repeatedly told the com-
mittee he couldn't get too speci-
fic about the war in such a public
forum.
He said the United States will
adhere to its present policy and
stick out the war until an accept-
able peace can be negotiated with
North Vietnam.
But Rusk said he can offer the
committee no present hope that
Hanoi is intperested. 4
"We have no reason to believe,"
he said, "that they will not con-
tinue military operations full
scale.
Decision-Making
But the key question that dom-
inated the hearings-congressional'
involvement in future decision-
making on the course of the war
-went unanswered.
Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Okla),
said he has "reluctantly come to
the conclusion that it is more
and more likely the decision will

On .the other side of the Cap-
itol, meanwhile, Rep. Paul Find-
ley (R-IlD, announced that more
than one fourth of the House
had agreed to support a resolution
calling for an immediate study of
U.S. policy in Southeast Asia.
Findley said there is a strong,
substantial and bipartisan feeling
in the House that no decision to
commit large numbers of addi-
tional troops to Vietnam, nor any
other fundamental decision on war
policy, should be made until and
unless there is serious consultation
with and action by the Congress."
There have been reports the ad-
ministration is considering dis-
patching up to 206,000 additional
troops to Vietnam. Rusk told.the

Senate committee no decision has
been made-and that the admin-
istration is under taking a broad
review of its policies in the wake
of the Communists' big city of-
fensive over the Vietnamese New
Year.
Fulbright, demanding a con-
gressional role in deciding the
future course of the war, told
Rusk the conflict is "at a crucial
turning point."
"What I want to talk about,"
he said, "is the exact, precise
plans you have on escalation .. .
I believe we could make a con-
tribution if we were given a
chance to do so."
Thedwar, Fulbright said, has
reached a point where new deci-
sions will determine "whether we
either go down the road to all
out war or to a negotiated solu-
tion."
Rusk-who frequently warned
the committee that U.S. allies
and adversaries around the world
were listening to every word of
the public hearing, said the sec-
retary of state "didn't come down
in the Korean War for public
hearings, talking about military
operations going on in the face of
the enemy."
