By The Associated Press 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 one of the top officials involved when President Johnson decided to rush troops to the bloody re- volt in the Dominican Republic last year. -Associated Press VICE PRESIDENT HUBERT HUMPHREY, flanked by South Viet Nam Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu (left) and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky (right) prepares to leave Honolulu for Saigon along with the Vietnamese officials to begin political, social, and economic programs formulated at this week's Ha- waii conference. * DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Police with Guns, Tear Gas Stop.Student Demonstrat ions vauuuis mng mum iet Nam's armed forces were down slightly-184 killed and 121 miss-' ing.

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. * * * WASHINGTON The former grand dragon of the Alabama The Transit Authority had no The , reports said the alleged immediate comment.

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.
