The incident raised the specter of a serious confrontation between the two major powers backing op- posing sides in the Vietnam war. 4$ The State Department officially protested the Soviet action in an oral statement to the ranking N otiaor Warily Study Tarif Plane BRUSSELS, Belgium (W)-Euro- pean Common Market leaders yes- terday warily studied a U.S. pro- posal that would have the effect of juggling millions of dollars, one way or the other, in the world's grain trade. The Common Market conference was a step toward meeting a dead- 'line Sunday for completion of work on the Kennedy Round of negotiations to lower tariffs and other obstacles to international commerce. The American proposal, ad- vanced in Geneva Monday night, is to let the United States, mem- bers of the Common Market and other nations keep control of their own grain crps and their own for- eign trade on grain. The idea is to sweep away an elaborate structure of quotas and subsidy controls which the confer- ees had been considering as part of an international grain agree-: ment. It came as a shock to Com- mon Market representatives. They favor a cartel like system under an international treaty to share markets and regulate price sup- ports for farmers. Jean Rey, the Common Market's chief negotiator in Geneva, re- ported behind closed doors to a meeting of his organization's council, a cabinet minister or his representative from each of the member countries-France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Rey will get his final instruc- tions and return to Geneva today. Negotiators there have agreed that unless the last issues are settled by Sunday, there will be no time to complete the job. President Johnson's authority to slash Amer- . ican tariffs in half will expire June 30. Soviet diplomat in Washington, Yuri N. Thchernakov. The collision involved the Soviet destroyer Besslednyi and the American destroyer Walker. The U.S. vessel w/as engaged in train- ing maneuvers with two other Navy destroyers and an aircraft carrier. The Pentagon said the Soviets ignored repeated warnings against coming too close to the American ships, an antisubmarine task group operating in international waters off the northern tip of the Japanese island of Hokkaido. The collision occurred when the Soviet destroyer attempted to overtake and pass the Walker, the anouncement said. The vessels scraped together but, the Pen- tagon said, there were no injuries and only minor damage to both ships. Pentagon spokesman could re- call no previous collision between Americanrand Soviet warships. Vietnam Implications Several hours later in Washing- ton, Tchernakov was called in to receive the U.S. protest from the assistant secretary of state for European affairs, John M. Leddy. ,A written protest may be, sub- mitted to the Soviets later. Official government pronounce- ments stopped short of chastising the Soviets. The Pentagon state- ment referred to the collision as an accident, but State Department spokesmen said the fact that the Soviets were warned several times speaks for itself. Pentagon spokesmen could re- warnings were given by flag. There were no radio exchanges between the American and Soviet ships. Aside from the fact that the in- cident involved military ships of the world's major nations, the col- lision assumed greater significance in view of the Vietnam war. -Associated Press SUBPOENAED FBI AGENT FBI AGENT REGIS KENNEDY (right) ignores newsmen's questions as he leaves the criminal court building in New Orleans where he was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in connection with the district attorney's Kennedy assassination probe.

BOMBINGS CONTINUE: .Bunker akesy StongControl Of U.S. Embassy in Vietnam WASHINGTON A') - Congres- sional hearings on President John- son's proposal to block a rail strike showed signs yesterday of expand- ing into a fullfledged study of the administration's contention that a strike would cause a national emergency. Rep. Harley O. Staggers (D- W. Va), chairman of the House Commerce Committee, said he was not convinced by Secretary of Transportation Alan S. Boyd's let- ter Tuesday night and testimony yesterday that a strike "would af- fect virtually every segment of the American economy and cause im- measurable hardship for most Americans." Staggers delivered a tongue-lash- ing to Boyd because the secretary's letter was released to newsmen be- fore Staggers saw it. Warns Pentagon The chairman said he had in- formed the messenger who had delivered it that the Pentagon should stay out of rail disputes unless they want to testify. He said he might call Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara to testify on the effects a rail strike would have on the defense effort. The possibility of an appearance by Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark also was raised after Boyd told Rep. Brock Adams, (D-Wash), that Clark had said the President would have no authority to seize the rail- roads after the present no strike order ends. Reject Union Proposal The Defense Department, mean- while, rejected a union proposal for meetings next Monday to plan continued rail shipment of essen- tial military material in the event of a strike. "It would appear that a meeting as you proposed is not now neces- sary," said V. F. Caputo, the De- fense Department's director of transportation and warehousing policy, in a letter to G. E. Leighty, chairman of the Railway Labor Executive Association . Caputo said the extension by Congress of the strike deadline to June 19 made such a meeting unnecessary now. "We will continue, however, to follow closely developments in this matter, and should they indicate urge pasage of Johnson's proposal the desirability of a meeting in that would have the effect of pre- the future, we will be in contact venting any nationwide rail strike with you," Caputo told Leighty. over the shopcraft dispute until Several members of the House the start of 1969.

Revolutionary Fightin S41 eeps Com-munist China SAIGON (A)-Ellsworth Bunker, the new U.S. ambassador who turns 73 today is making a good first impression on both Vietnam- ese and Americans. Sources in the American mission say Bunker has taken a firm hold pof Embassy reins since he arrived April 25. "He's not afraid to delegate au- thority-and to find out for him- self what's going on if they don't tell him," said an insider. Some idea of Bunker's outlook was disclosed in his initial talk to leaders of the U.S. military and civilian effort. Bunker listed these World News .Roundup objectives for the United States in Vietnam: -A just, durable and honorable peace. -A chance for the Vietnamese people to choose freely the form of government they wish. -Help for the Vietnamese to build their own political institu- tions and a viable economy. -Demonstrate U.S. obligations under the United Nations Charter and the Southeast Asia Treaty Or- ganization to resist aggression. --Help develop regional organ- izations through which Southeast Asian countries can carry out economic undertakings and other forms of mutual cooperation. Bunker has met Premier Nguyen Cao, KY several times for conver- sations described as "very cordial and warm." The Vietnamese press has been generally favorable. In other Vietnam action, U.S. Navy jets bombed two previously raided power plants in and near Haiphong yesterday and staged the first attack of the war on the Kien An airfield, a MIG base 5%/ miles southwest of the North Viet- namese port. A U.S. spokesman announced a A4 Skyhawk was shot down and the pilot was missing. The Sky- hawk was the 536th American combat plane officially listed as lost over North Vietnam. Hanoi broadcast a declaration that five planes were shot down, four over Haiphong. It said the Americans raided "a number of populated areas and economic in- stallations" in the city. One of the American attacks was the third of the war inside Haiphong, a city of 400,000 that is a major industrial center as well as the chief point of entry for North Vietnam's seaborne sup- plies. Briefing officers announced this target was an electric plant first hit April 20. This powered a cement factory described as turn- ing out 95 per cent of the cement produced in North Vietnam. The second raid within the city was on the cement factory itself April 25. Maps show both these instal- lations 1.1 miles northwest of the city's center. TOKYO (P) - Reports quoting Peking wall newspapers indicated yesterday that Red China was caught up in a new wave of blood spattered revolutionary confusion involving hundreds of thousands of supporters and opponents of the Communist party chairman, Mao Tse tung. Bloody fighting has been re- ported raging for a period of weeks in such key areas as the provinces of Szechwan, Honan, Shantung and Sinkiang, the latter the site of China's nuclear installations, and in several major cities includ- ing Peking itself. Reports from the wall posters put up by Red Guards-sometimes inaccurate but often on the orders of the Communist party Central Committee - suggested that the forces of Mao and his heir ap- parent, Vice Chairman Lin Piao, are trying desperately to crush those supporting President Liu Shao Chi and the party general secretary, Teng Hsiao ping, but that the resistance remains stub- born. The reports were relayed by Japanese correspondents based in Peking. In Szechwan, center of the im- portant and often turbulent Southwest China Administrative District, the Peking posters said more than 10,000 persons were killed or wounded in fighting over the past four weeks and that hun- dreds of thousands of peasants had been figthing forces loyal to Mao. The correspondent of the Jap- anese newspaper Nihon Keizai quoted posters as saying the Dzechwan Province violence in- volved use of machine guns, hand grenades and even poisoned drink- ing water. Heavy fighting was reported in the capital, Chengtu, and sporadic battles in the province's second city, Chungking. A figure of more than 10,000 killed and injured in the province was posted in one Peking wall newspaper signed by a Red Guard unit from Chengtu, the correspondent of Tokyo's Yomiuri said. By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -- A group of youthful antiwar demonstrators, who kept an overnight vigil in- side the Pentagon, showed no sign yesterday of giving up. Sixteen young men and women squatted outside the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to discuss strategy as the vigil continued. About a dozen spent the night in the corridor, surrounded by gov- ernment security officers. Normal- ly, only persons holding special passes are allowed inside the Pen- tagon between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. However, authorities chose not to evict the demonstrators Tues- day night. Instead, they cordon- ed them off and kept watch over them. NEW YORK -- The New York Drama Critics Circle has chosen "The Homecoming" as the best play of the 1966-67 Broadway sea- son and "Cabaret" as the best musical.

The formal application for mem- bership in the six nation commu- nity will be submitted to its Brus- sels headquarters this morning. The six are France, West Ger- many, Italy, the Netherlands, Bel- gium and Luxembourg. Long negotiations will follow with President Charles de Gaulle of France holding the key to the outcome. He vetoed Britain last time. If the application is accept- ed, the British people, their way of life and their island nation's place in the world faces profound changes, After a three day debate the government decision was approv- ed by the 630 seat House of Com- mons 488-62, a majority of 426. Opponents included members of Wilson's own Labor party and op- position Conservatives in rough- ly equal numbers. An earlier attempt by Conserv- ative back bench opponents to block the bid was thrown out 487 to 26, a majority for the govern- ment of 461. First Application Fails Britain's first application to join failed in January, 1963, when France applied the veto. De Gaulle held that Britain was not suffi- ciently European - that it still clung too tightly to a special re- lationship with the United States. This time there were hopes that de Gaulle -might be more sympa- thetic. French Information Min- ister Georges Gorse, speaking to newsmen yesterday after a cab- inet meeting with the general, ex- pressed his satisfaction with Brit- ain's move toward Europe and said this was what France always had wished.
