Fulbright Wants Viet
Cong Recognized,
Bombings Paused
WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. J. W.
Fulbright (D-Ark) advocated yes-
terday an indefinite continuation
in the lull in bombing of North
Viet Nam and direct participa-
tion of the Viet Cong in any ne-
gotiations for a settlement.
Fulbright, chairman of the For-
eign Relations Committee, ad-
vanced his views after Secretary
of State Dean Rusk was question-
ed for three hours behind closed
doors. In that session, Rusk un-
derwent a cross-fire from both
opponents and advocates of an
early resumption of the bombing.
"Personally' I think we ought to
give a longer time in the bombing
lull for the consideration of our-
selves and others involved," Ful-
bright told reporters.
"My own feeling is the policy of
not recognizing the Viet Cong as
a major party to any negotiations
may be a stumbling block to the
% peace offensive."
Fulbright's statRment came
amid reports President Johnson
is expected to decide this week
whether to resume the bombing in
the North. The same reports said
no major escalation of the war,
such as the bombing of Hanoi, is
considered likely.

LADY EDITOR

Cambridge, Mass.-Linda C. McVeigh, a Radcliffe student,
has become the first woman managing editor of the Harvard'
Crimson, the student daily newspaper for Harvard University.

Fulbright lined up, with Sen.
Mike Mansfield of Montana, the
Senate majority leader, who ear-
lier urged ax presidential decision
to continue the pause in the bomb-
ings as long as there is a "faint
glimmer of hope" for peace nego-
tiations.
Under questioning by reporters,
Rusk himself said he didn't want
"to get into that - into what
may happen in the future."
Secretary of Defense Robert S.

McNamara declined to give any
indication whether the United
States is planning to resume its
bombing of North Viet Nam.
But he reminded reporters upon
leaving a closed session of Sen-
ate Armed Services and Appro-
priations Committees that after a
bombing lull, of 31 days-designed
to bring the war to the confer-
ence table-there had been "no
indication North Viet Nam is will-
ing to.enter into negotiations."

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-The Selective
Service System said yesterday it
has instructed local draft boards
that young men under orders for
induction no longer should be
permitted to enlist in the Na-
tional Guard or Reserves.
A spokesman said a bulletin
was sent to -all state draft direc-
tors and local boards last week
which changes an Aug. 5 direc-
tive to provide for cancellation
of induction orders only to per-
mit enlistment in the regular
forces-Army, Navy and Air Force.

WASHINGTON -- The Senate
took up the issue yesterday of
ending the authority of states to
ban the union shop and began its
first floor fight of 1966 amid
talk of filibuster.
But the Senate turned to a
major piece of administration leg-
islation, the repeal of section 14B
of the Taft-Hartley law. This

permits states to forbid union
shop contracts under which em-
ployes are required to join a
union or ,at least, pay union dues.
Nineteen states have such laws.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana moved to
take it up, and Republican Lead-
er Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois
rose immediately to protest.
JACKSON, Miss.-Mississippi's
SState Sovereignty Commission
seems doomed--0 years after it
was formed to fight for segrega-
tion.
r Even militant segregationists
who once hailed the commission
as a possible savior, now want it
abolished.- They say it doesn'tj
fight hard enough.
The state administration would
rather tame the commission to a
state publicity agency.
Formal decision is up to the
Slegislature. But for all practical
purposes, the commission already
is a mere shadow of its former
powerful image.
MOSCOW-The U.S. Embassy

said last night an autopsy showed
the American Newcomb Mott ap-
parently died from a slashed,
throat while a prisoner of the'
Soviet Union.
There was nothing in a care-
fully worded embassy statement
to support the official Soviet ex-
planation that Mott committed
suicide.
An embassy spokesman said the
Russians did not disclose the in-
strument which made the fatal
wound. A doctor and a consular
officer from the embassy attend-
ed a three hour and 15 minute
medical inquiry into Mott's death
yesterday.

dian and Pakistani troops, fac-

war last September, start with-
