Treasury officials hope the bill will be approved quickly and sent to the White House to help calm the continued heavy speculative gold buying in Europe.

Total gold reserve of the seven nations is about $24 billion. 52 minutes BOOTS 0 LEATHER CUSTOM + UNUSUAL CLOTHING 215 S. State, 2nd floor 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 LI. ' FRE E 8 p.m. I SAVE THE DATE TDAY ! Friday, March 15 at 7:15 P.M.

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 "A JEWISH NEGRO LOOKS AT NEGRO-JEWISH RELATIONS" Why would a black person want the extra burden of being Jewish? Naomi Franklin says Judaism is all she has ever known. She grew up as a Jew. Naomi attended Yeshiva, went to Israel, and has a profound interest in Judaica. She has dedicated her energies to helping her fellow Negro Jew.

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."
