As Vice-President Hubert Hum-
phrey left yesterday for Saigon'
to spur action on reform pro-.
grams, American air squadrons
stepped up their attacks on North'
and South Viet NAm. At the
same time, the Senate Armed
Services Committee authorized
spending $4.8 billion for the
mounting costs of the fighting in
Viet Nam.
In a statement before his de-
parture, Humphrey said, "Our;
mutual struggle- against the ter-
ror and tyranny of the aggres-
sor will be matched by a vigor-'
ous war against the age old ene-
mies of disease, hunger ,and so-,
cial and economic deprivation."
Flying with him were South'
Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao
Ky and Chief of State Nguyen
Van Thieu, who concluded talks
here Tuesday with President
Johnson, and various American
officials, including presidential en-!
voy W. Averell Harriman.
Humphrey's mission will be to,
begin implementation of a politi-
cal, social and economic program
outlined Tuesday in the Declar-
ation of Honolulu.
"We are determined to imple-
ment the aims of the declara-
tion," he said, "and we shall take
immediate and continuing action
as partners with the government
and the people of South Viet
Nam to achieve these objectives."
Funds Authorized
In Washington a $4.8-billion
spending authorization for the
mounting costs of Viet Nam won
the unanimous approval yesterday
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
The $4.8 billion is part of the
$12.8 billion in military and eco-
- nomic spending Johnson request-
ed to bolster Viet Nam operations.
It includes: $3.4 billion for air-
Splanes,helicopters, missiles and
similar hardware; $1.2 billion for
building ports ,airfields and other
defense facilities in Viet Nam;
and $152 million for research and
development.

. Controversial Act
The Condon-Wadlin Act, pass-
ed in 1947, has been the subject
of hot political debate, and has
rarely been invoked because of
the harshness of the penalties.
For a two-year period, the pen-
alties were changed to require de-
duction of two days' pay for each
day a reinstated employe was on
strike.
SRoundup'
United Klans said yesterday there
has been a change of heart in
the Klan--at least in Alabama-
and it will now cooperate with
the House Committee, on Un-
American Activities.
Robert Creel, 35, of Linden,
Ala., until recently the state lead-
er, said he decided to testify
freely at the committee's KIe.:!
hearings because Klan members
now "really wanted someone to
come up here and defend them."
Creel was the second top Ala-
bama Klan functionary to answer
the committee questions without
pleading the Fifth Amendment
privilege against possible self-in-
crimination.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore), a critic of United
States=Latin American policy, held
up action yesterday on the nomi-
nation of Jack Hood Vaughn to be
director of the Peace Corps.
As assistant secretary for in-
ter-American affairs, Vaughn was

when President Johnson decided
to rush troops to the bloody re-
volt in the Dominican Republic
last year.

Nam's armed forces were down
slightly-184 killed and 121 miss-'
ing. Their losses of the previous7
week were 209 killed and 1851
missing. No figures were given
for either Vietnamese or Viet;
Cong wounded.
The Marines' Operation Double
Eagle was the northern and leastE
productive element in the coastal
offensive. The helicopter base be-E
low Quan Ngai, 330 miles north-
east of Saigon,rhad been plagued
by pot shots from its perimeterf
since the operation started Jan.,
28.
The patrol killed three in a
brisk fight, then was pinned down
and called for -help. Jet fighter-t
bombers poured bombs on the area
for two hours.1
Fighter planes hit the huts withj
cannon shells and rockets. Then
155mm artillery joined. By 3 p.m.1
the Viet Cong were silenced. The
Marines went in and wound 27t
bodies.
The 34,400 workers were grant-
ed across-the-board increases of
4 per cent retroactive to Jan. 1,
another 4 per cent next Jan. 1,
and another 7 per cent on July 1,
1967. The total cost was estimat-
ed variously at $52 to $70 million
over two years. None of the in-,
crease has yet been paid, since!
the union members ratified thel
contract only last weekend.
Strike Called
The strike, the first city wide
trans.it shutdown in the city's his-
tory, was called a few hours after
Mayor John V. Lindsay took of-
fice on Jan. 1.
The Transit Authority invoked
the state's Condon-Wadlin Act,
which forbids strikes by public
employes, to obtain an injunc-
tion against the strike.
.
They said insurgents occupied
the British base at Beyt Al Fa-
laj for two hours and captured
British troops and officers and
that British reinforcements rush-
ed from a nearby camp to arrest
the ringleaders.
WASHINGTON - The Senate
sent to President Johnson yester-
day a bill to restrict the powers
of the Justice Department to bring
antitrust suits against bank mer-
gers.
The final version of the measure
exempts three banks from anti-
trust proceedings brought by the
government. The Senate bill would
have exempted six banks.

SANTO DOMINGO WP)-Police
broke up a demonstration outside
the National Palace with gunfire
and tear gas yesterday, and offi-
cials said two persons were killed
and 28 others, including five girls,
wounded.
The incident touched off a wave
of disorders in the downtown area
that quieted at noon and started
up again in the afternoon. The
rioters set fire to a station wagon
belonging to the UN representative
here. The Dominican driver was
reported beaten up.
Many of the injdred were hurt
scrambling over walls to get out
of the line of fire.
Anti-U.S. Protest
Most of the estimated 600 dem-
onstrators were high school and
grammar school boys and girls.
They had called the demonstra-
tion ostensibly to demand that the
government restore financial as-
sistance to the University of Santo
Domingo. But the demonstration
turned into an anti-United States
protest. One large placard said,
"Go home, Yankees."
Capt. German Perez Montas, in
charge of the police detail, said
the youths provoked the shooting
by throwing rocks at police. The
shooting broke out as one group
of youths unfurled an American
flag and began to burn it.
Montas claimed some of the
youths were armed. A military
spokesman at the National Palace
said authorities had been tipped
before the demonstration that
some of the youths were armed
One of the wounded was a police
officer who was shot in the leg.
