SAIGON (P) - "I don't know
what I'm doing here or what I
can eventually say about this
thing - but when the President
telephones and pleads with you
in the middle of the night to go
to, Vietnam and observe elections,
what would you do? Naturally,
accept."
This comment, from one of the
22 prominent Americans sent to
Vietnam as President Johnson's
special observers for Sunday's
elections, came after a full day
of intensive briefings, exhaustive
visits to remote polling sites and
pidgin English conversations with
Vietnamese election officials.
As they see their role, they must
wade through government red
tape to the Vietnamese voter and'
determine whether he has cast
an informed vote on his own in-;
itiative in a democratic election1
-- or whether he has been un-
fairly influenced and his vote
snatched illegally.
Few think they can make such
an evaluation.
The group plans no joint re-
port. They say they plan to stop
in Honolulu en route home for a
bull session, some of which likely
would be relayed to the White
House.
The official program for the
observers yesterday indicated to
all of them the great limitations
they would be working under in
the next few days.
Gov. Richard J. Hughes of New
Jersey said after a whirlwind visit
to the province of Binh Dufong
just north of Saigon: "I have
not seen enough to make a flat
judgment about the validity of
the elections. I may not see
enough even in the next several
days."
Whitney Young, president of the
Urban league, said: "We have no
illusions about what we can do."
Gov. Thomas L. McCall of Ore-
gon, who spent an afternoon
traipsing through a Mekong del-
ta village in fatigues, noted: "I
don't think we will have enough
information - ever - to fully
evaluate what's going on here."
Some of the observers, such as
Sen. George Murphy, R-Calif., felt
that they could determine in-
stinctively, i f n o t factually,
whether the election was clean or
soiled.
"I think we can tell from watch-
ing people go to the polls whether
the thing looks fair," Murphy
said. "You have to rely mostly
on instinct."
Yesterday's program proved un-
satisfactory to several of the ob-
servers and they intend to ignore
the U.S. Embassy schedule for
the remainder of the visit, and
head off alone to try and deter-
mine for themselves the pulse of
the Vietnamese voter.
WASHINGTON (P)-The United
States accused the Soviet Union
yesterday of denying two U.S. ice-
breakers passageway through an
Arctic strait off Russia and thus
blocking a valuable scientific ex-
pedition around the North Pole.
Instead of forcing the ice-
breakers Edisto and East Windf
through the Vilkitsky Straits,
Washington canceled their plan-
ned voyage and lodged a strong
diplomatic protest maintaining
the international legal rights of
the ships to innocent passage.
At issue is whether vessels may
sail freely through the channel?
connecting two portions of high
seas-as the United States claims
-or whether the Soviets controli
the passageway because it runs
through Russian territorial waters, 1
as Moscow contends.
A similar question was posed
with Egypt's announced anti-Is-
rael blockade of the Aqaba Gulf
which triggered the Middle East
crisis earlier this summer. The
United States holdsthat ships
have the right of innocent passage
through straits linking high seas
even though the connecting chan-
nel goes through national waters.
Now an issue in the icebreaker
incident is the difference between
the U.S. claim that a country's
territory extends only three miles
offshore and the Soviet claim of
11 miles.

Johnson told his audience, made
up largely of members of Con-
gress, federal officials, executives
of veterans organizations and the
current Miss America, that the
bill is in great part for those on
the line in Vietnam.
Johnson said that "every single
day, and every single waking
hour" he is working with every
resource .at his command to has-
ten the day when the war in
Vietnam will be resolved peace-
fully.
"The forces who launched that
war now, at this moment," Johnson
said, "are tragically using every
terroristic plan, practice or de-
vice they can conceive to try to
stop the people of Vietnam from
freely electing their own govern-
ment.
"The aggressors m u s t rea-

"Until that realization comes,

Johnson said the new benefits
bill is a way of saying to a na-
tion's men at arms in Vietnam
and elsewhere that America does
not forget.
He said also it will help needy
veterans of past conflicts by:
-Providing funds to help re-
turning servicemen with their
education or with job training un-
derthe GI Bill of Rights signed 18
months ago. It will help those
with families more than single
men.
-Giving men now in uniform
the same veterans benefits their
predecessors in other wars re-
ceive.
-Increasing pensions of two
million veterans and widows an
average of 5.4 per cent to raise
the living standards of the older
and poorer pensioners.
Most of the act's provisions be-
come effective Oct. 1.
Johnson noted that the first
year's cost of the bill at $285
million is $115 million' more than
he proposed to Congress.
While he reaffirmed the need
for "utmost restraint in our
spending," he noted the higher
figure was approved without a
single dissenting vote in either
Senate or House.
And he said he could accept
the increase in good conscience
because of the compelling fact
that most of the extra funds will
be invested in education and job-
training which are corner-stones
of his administration's program.
