SAIGON - Secretary of State
Dean Rusk said today the United
States was determined to do every-
thing in its power to insure the
safety, freedom and prosperity of
South Viet Nam.
Rusk arrived in Saigon together
with the roving presidential am-
bassador, W. Averell Harriman, to
discuss the progress of the war in
Viet Nam and President Johnson's
peace offensive.
He said: "I bring the people of
this great country and govern-
ment the greeting of President
Johnson, the determination of the
American people and our confi-
dence in the future."
Diplomatic sources said the key
purpose of Rusk's visit was to of-
fer fresh assurances to the South
Vietnamese government that Pres-
ident Johnson's worldwide efforts
to get peace talks started would
not undermine the vital interests
of this country.

ATLANTA, Ga. - A thousand
marchers rallied yesterday at the
State Capitol in a traffic-tangling
protest to the refusal of the Geor-
gia House to seat Negro Rep.-elect
Julian Bond.
State patrolmen shoved about
50 sign-wielding demonstrators
from the Capitol steps in the aft-
ermath of the rally. The group
flailed officers with picket signs,
pocketbooks and umbrellas.
The protest was aimed at the
House refusal last Monday to seat
Bond, 26, a Democrat from Atlan-
ta. The refusal followed Bond's
endorsement of a statement which
described U.S. involvement in Viet
Nam as "aggression."
WASHINGTON-A major revi-
sion of the antipoverty program
aimed at getting jobs for the poor
and unemployed is being strongly
pushed in the House of Represen-'
tatives.
The effect would be to down-
grade or eliminate a wide variety
of educational, cultural and ex-
perimental programs now being
run by the Office of Economic
Opportunity (OEO).
The' move is being led by Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY),
chairman of committee, who wants
closer coordination of job-train-
ing efforts between the OEO and
the Department of Labor.
