RYAN By The Associated Press At the risk of frightening its own people by reviving the spec- ter of Stalinism, the Soviet Com- munist party has laid down what probably are its final terms for reconciliation with the Red- Chi- nese. Chances are the Kremlin.has been unable to offer Peking nearly enough and that the dispute will continue. By advancing its terms Tuesday before an audience of Communist chieftains from around the world at the 23rd Soviet party congress. the Kremlin sought to absolve it- self of blame for the rupture. It replied to violent abuse with a soft answer and an offer of com- promise. Now the Kremlin can tell the world Communism that the rest is up to Red China, that Pe- king must bear the responsibility. if the Communist world remains divided.. Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet party chief, told the congress his party was "prepared to do every- thing possible" to mend relations with Peking. But some Chinese de- mands, from Moscow's viewpoint are downright impossible. For example, Peking wants the Kremlin to concede that virtually every policy step Moscow has tak- en since 1956 has been wrong and should be reversed. It has demand- ed what would amount to a pub- lic apology to Red China and an abject admission of guilt for all that happened to the movement in the past 10 years. Obviously, the Russians won't oblige. The U.S.S.R. is the domin- ant power in the Communist world. The party would not put itself in the position of knuckling under to any other. To many ears, the Chinese have been abusive and insulting while the Kremlin held its tongue, pre- serving its dignity. The Chinese have not confined themselves to blasting Soviet world Communist and foreign policies. They have also made scorching at- tacks on the Soviet internal sys- tem. They have ridiculed Soviet attempts to raise living standards and increase consumer production as capitulation to capitalist na- tions.

The Agency for International Development reports that by the end of fiscal 1966 on June 30, U.S. economic aid to the Southeast Asian nation will total more than $3 billion, with another $650 mil- lion in. nonmilitary aid earmarked for fiscal 1967. The exact amount of arms aid is not available because of a 1962 Defense Department secrecy edict. But informed sources estimate that the United States spent $1.65 billion on arms for Viet Nam from. 1954 through' this year. U.S. arms aid for Saigon in the coming year is estimated at some $600 million. SAIGON-About 200 U.S. caval- rymen battled at a clearing in the central highlands y e s t e r d a y against a powerful Viet Cong as- sault force that perhaps outnum- bered them 5 to 1. Several heli- copters were reported shot down. The outcry stemmed from a col- lision of a vehicle,. carrying eight Marines, and a bus loaded with members of a Vietnamese drivers' union who were staging a parade. A Marine security guard told news- men the only damage to the bus was a bent license plate. There was some commotion in the street before the Marines drove off and one Vietnamese charged that they had beaten him with rifle butts. This was denied by various witnesses, including a U.S{ Army captain. But a spokesman. for the dem- onstrators said they were pressing the charge and would telegraph a demand to President Johnson for an apology. He said they wanted a reply within 48 hours. If Johnson's answer is not agree- able, he said, "we will do some- thing." He did not say what. A Marine spokesman said the incident is being investigated. The city itself has been declar- ed off limits to American service- men, except for those on duty or billeted here, as a result of ten- sions growing out of the govern- ment's ouster of Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi as the corps area com- mander March 10. ________________________________ x Wilson Picked Day Wilson. himself picked the day3 for the ballot-the nation's second in 17 months - in the hope of strengthening his frail control of the 630-member House of Com- mons. A victory would give him a five-year mandate. In the 630 electoral districts.

Bookmakers shortened their price on a Wilson victory from 20 to 25 to 1-you put 25 pounds down to win one.

Yerovi, 62, was appointed Tues- day by the military high com- mand which threw out the three- man junta. Violent demonstrations by students and the opposition of businessmen and labor leaders had preceded the downfall of the junta. The whereabouts of the junta members was still unknown but the country was quiet after days of violence that had cost at least Student opponentscimed the junta's policies were oppressive. Businessmen opposed 'new taxes and important restrictions. When the shouts resounded at the swearing-in ceremony, Yerovl responded: "I hear voices of oppo- sition to my presence here.
