UNITED NATIONS (A)-Mount-
ing opposition led by the Soviet
Union and France threatened yes-
terday to doom efforts by the
United States to give the UN Se-
curity Council a try at ending
the war in Viet Nam.
The U.S' claimed it had enough
support to win approval by a nar-
row margin for full-scale debate,
but the opposition appeared to
rule out any chance of pushing
through a U.S. peace plan.
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg pleaded with members of the.
15-nation council to help the world
open a new avenue to peace.
Defends Bombing
He defended the resumption of
U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam
as the only course open to Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson because
of refusal by Ho Chi Minh, the
North Vietnamese leader, to re-
spond to U.S. peace moves. He
proposed that representatives of
both Saigon and Hanoi be invited

"They have addressed them-

WASHINGTON 0P) - President
Lyndon B. Johnson asked for $3.69F
billion in new foreign aid funds
yesterday and proposed a major
legislative revamping to put the
global program on a five-year,
basis, separating arms and eco-
nomic aid.
"A new look and a new pur-
pose," was how Johnson labeled
his foreign aid message to Con-
gress. It asked for $2.47 billion
in economic assistance and $917
million for arms aid in the new
fiscal year starting July 1, an in-
crease over this year.
Johnson stressed self-help by
foreign nations as a condition for
getting United States dollars. "We
are not going to allow American
aid to become an international
dole," he said.
'Great Society'
He stamped a "Great Society"
brand on $1 billion of the eco-
nomic assistance, saying this ex-
panded amount would be used to
fight hunger, disease and ignor-
ance abroad. Lack of food, medi,
cal care and schooling forms a vi-
cious cycle in backward areas
which "must be broken if democ-
racy is to survive," he said.
Congressional reaction was mix-
ed but warned of a fight beyond
the usual tussle over money. Since
the four-year Marshall Plan for
European recovery began after
World War II, the legislators have
stuck to a year-by-year authori-
zation, which sets terms and ceil-
ings for the multi-billion-dollar
program.
Johnson set no ceiling in asking
for a five-year authorization "to
signify the depth of our commit-
ment to help those who help them-
selves." Congress would still pass
on appropriations annually, as be-
fore.

President Requests
New Aid Program

functions of these programs in the
minds of the public and the Con-
gress."
Some aid supporters have resist-
ed this split in the past on
grounds that military assistance
carries congressional votes for the
economic portions. In practice, the
two are administered separately
-arms aid by the Pentagon, eco-
nomic aid by the Agency for In-
ternational Development.
Praise came from Senate For-
eign Relations Committee Chair-
man J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark),
long an advocate of long-term aid
authorization and splitting the
package. No comment was imme-
diatel yavailable from House For-
eign Affairs Committee Chairman
Thomas E. Morgan (D-Pa), a
past opponent of both moves.
The largest single portion of
the $2.47 billion econofic authori-
zation for the coming year would
be $550 million for South Viet
Nam, the President said. This is
about the same rate as the cur-
rent year.
Another $600 million is going to
the South Vietnamese army and
other countries militarily engaged
in Viet Nam, but that amount is
being included in the U.S. defense
budget rather than in the aid bill
in the new legislation.
Another $197 million of the new
economic aid is for countries like
Laos, Korea and Thailand, along
the Communist rim.
For the Alliance for Progress
program of assistance to Latin
America countries, Johnson sought
$543 million in new funds for the
1967 fiscal period. This is a $33
million increase.
For development loans -- easy
term loans for projects aimed at
raising economic levels in less de-
veloped countries--Johnson pro-
posed $665 million, a $47 million
increase over the current year. All
but 10 per cent of this is planned
for India, Pakistan, Turkey, Ko-
rea and Nigeria, he said.

'Air Force Hit's Viet Nam
In Aim To Halt Offensive

-Associated Press

AMBASSADOR ARTHUR GOLDBERG presents the U.S.
n on Viet Nam before the Security Council yesterday.
T rld News Roundup

SAIGON (R)-United States Air
Force Thunderchiefs struck yes-
terday at the port of Ben Thuy
and other American planes hunted
targets of opportunity on rail-
roads and highways in the re-
vived campaign to curb North
Viet Nam's military movements.
In coastal plains south of the
border, American and allied troops
tightened the squeeze of Opera-
tion Masher. A spokesman said
four days of heavy fighting yield-
ed 488 Communists killed and 420
men seized as prisoners or sus-
pects.
Red survivors were reported rip-
ping off their green uniforms and
donning peasants' garb in an ef-
fort to escape. The operation had
expanded over an area of 130
square miles since elements of the
U.S. 1st Cavalry Division launch-
ed it last week in the Bong Son
sector, 300 miles northeast of Sai,
gon.
Ground Operations
Among ground operations else-
where:
U.S. 1st Infantry Division
troops uncovered a big bunker
complex 10 miles east of Saigon-
and, meeting resistance from dug-
in riflemen, called for air, artil-
lery and tank fire to destroy it.
Explosions from the air bombard-
ment could be seen from the heart
of the capital.
-U.S. Marines who landed from
the sea last Friday below Quang
Ngai, 330 miles northeast of Sai-
gon, reported no significant con-
tact 'with enemy forces. They list-
ed 23 Viet Cong killed and 57
suspects picked up in the whole
operation, called Double Eagle.
The Marines described their own
casualties, mostly from sniper fire,
as light.
-A regiment of South Viet
Nam's 9th Division which launch-
ed a search-and-destroy drive
Monday 62 miles southwest of
Saigon, reported it killed 78 Viet
Cong, captured eight and seized
31 weapons, including two East
German machine guns.
Ben Thuy
The Thunderchiefs' target, Ben
Thuy, is on the South China Sea
140 miles north of the border and
160 miles south pf Hanoi, which
remains immune. It is a sea out-
let for the city of Vinh, two
miles to the northwest, where
armed forces, radar and railroad
centers were raided repeatedly last
year.
A U.S. spokesman said the jet
fighter-bombers rained 750-pound
bombs on the port facilities, which
could accommodate vessels with
draft up to 13 feet. A low over-
cast Prevented an immediate as-
sessment of the damage. Both
Air Force and Navy pilots took
part in armed reconnaissance runs
elsewhere.

The spokesman said three Amer-
ican planes were lost in strikes
Monday on the Communist North,
the first since Christmas Eve. The
planes were two Navy jets and
an Air Force Thunderchief. The
Navy pilots were rescued. The
Thunderchief pilot, who vanished
in clouds 20 miles south of Vinh,
was officially listed as missing.
Radio Hanoi had claimed five
planes were downed.
Moderate Losses
Briefing officers told newsmen
U.S. and Korean casualties re-
mained light, but the South Viet-

namese suffered moderate losses.
The term moderate, as used in
this context, can mean anywhere
from one-tenth to one-third of the
total force committed.
Red China objected again to
visits by American servicemen and
warships to Hong Kong, a British
crown colony adjoining its south
coast. Radio Peking announced
Mao Tze-tung's regime demanded
that Britain "immediately take
effective measures to stop all U.S.
activities of war preparation in
Hong Kong. Or eat the bitter
fruits of its own making."

has inspired new demonstrations
by groups opposed to the U.S. role
in Southeast Asia.
About 350 marched Monday
from Berkeley, and with police
protection all the way, invaded
the offices of Rep. Jeffrey Cohe-

land. Colhelan, who was in Wash-

bombing.
Stanford University also was

GREENVILLE (M - The Air
Force tossed a group of Negro
squatters off its deactivated base
near here yesterday some 30 hours
after they moved into an empty
building, demanding food, jobs
and land.
Before the Negroes were expell-
ed, however, a federal spokesman
promised that anti-poverty aid to
Mississippi would be speeded up.
The Negroes set out on a march
to Greenville, some four miles
away. They were convoyed by
highway patrol cars at front and
rear.,
Take Over Building
The crowd, led by civil rights
workers, rushed past the base gate
guard Mohiday and took possession
of a building. They said they were
homeless. They demanded quick
anti-poverty aid, job training and
land.
The Air Force brought in 150
air police from several bases to
handle the ejection. About 30 Ne-
groes, mainly elderly and chil-
dren, walked out of the building.
The other 60 - some white civil
rights workers-were lugged out,
one by one ,and the crowd was
herded off the base. They were
released after they left federal
property.
Maj. Gen. R. W. Puryear, com-
manding the air police, ordered
the Negroes ejected after Mrs.
Unita Blackwell, an official of the
Freedom Democratic party, told
him: "The group unanimously
voted to stay."
Talk to Squatters
Gen. Puryear and James Turner,
a Department of Justice lawyer,
had both tried to talk the squat-
ters off the base.
"If any -of you are really home-

less we will see what can be
done," said Turner.
Turner said Secretary of Agri-
culture Orville Freeman realizes
that "Operation Help" has been
delayed in Mississippi and will
move to expedite the program.
Forced Off Jobs
Mrs. Blackwell said most of the
Negroes involved had been forced
off nearby cotton plantations,
where a farmhand strike was call-
ed in an effort to force higher
wages.
Gen. Puryear, stating that he
represented the President, then
read from handwritten notes.
Health Hazard
"By forcefully occupying this
building, by bringing heating
equipment which create fire haz-
ards and not having sanitation
facilities, you have created dan-
ger to the property and to your-
selves," he said.
"My orders, if you do not leave
peacefully, are to remove you with
whatever force necessary," said
Gen. Puryear. "I implore that the
children and elderly go out will-
ingly."
Invasion by Poor
The invasion of the base was
sponsoredby the "Poor People's
Conference."
A spokesman. said the confer-
ence is connected with the Mis-
sissippi Freedom Democratic par-
ty and with the Delta Ministry,
an organization backed by the Na-
tional Council of Churches.
"We are at the Greenville Air
Force Base because it is federal
property and there are hundreds
of empty houses and buildings,"
the conference said. "We need
those houses and the land. We
could be trained for jobs in the
buildings."

WITH FULL COMPREHENSION & RETENTION
EASE PRESSURE - SAVE TIME - IMPROVE CONCENTRATION
You can read 150-200 pages an hour using the ACCELERATED READING method.
You'll learn to comprehend at speeds of 1,000 to 2,000 words a minute. And retention is
excellent.
This is NOT a skimming method; you definitely read every word.
You can apply the ACCELERATED READING method to textbooks and factual mate-
rial as well as to literature and fiction. The author's style is not lost when you read at these
