Hanoi Statement'
Blasts Peace Bid,
Air Strikes Limited to Area South
Of 20t1h Parallel in North Vietnam
By The Associated Press
The Pentagon said yesterday that U.S. bombing attacks1
are being conducted against North Vietnam from the 20th
parallel south, but said 90 per cent of the strikes have been
limited- to within 60 miles of the demilitarized zone.
This was the first official clarification of the extent of
the area which may still be bombed under President John-
son's order restricting air and naval gunfire attacks in a
bid to get North Vietnam to the peace talk table.

War Referendum by Sna l Margil
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (N - Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, (D-
Minn.), rode the anti-Vietnam war issue to a clear-cut vic-
tory over retiring President Johnson in a prestige building
torrent of votes in yesterday's Wisconsin Presidential primary.
Holding steadily at 55 per cent of the Democratic total
as returns mounted, McCarthy won the bulk of the state's
59 vote convention delegation to retain his place as a front
runner for the nomination Johnson said he didn't want.
A heavy turnout of Republicans indicated that former
Vice-President Richard M. Nixon might top the 339,393 votes
he got in the 1960 Wisconsin primary.
Indthat year, when he won the party nomination he was
unopposed. In yesterday's countdown, he had only nominal
opposition from Gov. Ronald Reagan of California and per-
ennial candidate Harold E. Stassen.

Fair Housing
BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (A)-With
riot-scarred Detroit next door, the
white, well-to-do residents of this
city of 27,000 have made theirs
t the second U.S. community to al-
low an open housing ordinance
to survive a referendum.-
The margin was a slim one, 383
votes, after several weeks of in-
tensive campaigning by backers
of the measure, plus a -personal
boost by Gov. George Romney,
* who lives in the affluent iteigh-
boring suburb of Bloomfield Hills.
The vote in Birmingham, which
has only one Negro family, was
4,205-3,822, a turnout of more
than half of the city's 13,000 reg-!
istered voters in an April election
that usually attracts only about
1,300 votes.
One City
Backers of open housing in
Michigan say only one other city
has allowed an open housing or-
dinance to stand through a public
vote, and that also was in Michi-
gan-a month ago at Flint.
-By contrast, though, Flint's
200,000 population is about 25 per
cent Negro and its open housing
ordinance was approved by fewer
than 50 votes after Mayor Flower
McCree, a Negro, battled vigorous-
ly for it.
"This is terrific," said Mrs. Julie
Candler, one of the Birmingham
residents who helped organize a
drive for support of the open
housing ordinance.
Most Affluent

affluent and best-educated in the

Students at a college in Virginia
took over the school's administra-

tempt to air their grievances,
while concessions were granted to
protesting college students in

About 500 students marched on
the administration building, Pick-

to escalate the protest that began
with a class boycott Monday.
In Cheyney, Pa. The adminis-
