NEW DELHI - Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi, in a move to end
opposition to her re-election as
head of the Indian government,
accepted yesterday a major change
in the structure of her Cabinet.
She agreed to let former Finance
Minister Morarji Desai, absent for
43 months, return to the govern-
ment as deputy prime minister.
Desai, in return, withdrew plans
to, oppose Mrs. Gandhi for leader-
ship of Congress party members of
Parliament.
Under the Indian constitution
the leader, to be chosen today by
all Congress members of both
houses of Parliament, will be asked
by President Sarvepalli Radhak-
rishan to form a new government.
Full Support
"He (Desai) has pledged his full
and unqualified support to me,"
Mrs. Gandhi told newsmen. She
added that she intended to remain
sole leader of the government.
"There is no question of duality
of authority," she said. "I will
have unfettered discretion to form
my own government."
Said Desai later: "We must work
together as a happy team."
Cabinet Position
Desai, 71, also is expected to be
given a major Cabinet portfolio,
possibly finance again. He had
wanted to be home minister but
Mrs. Gandhi, 49, was known to
prefer continuation of Y. B. Cha-
van in this post.
Desai, leader of the party's right,
wing, was finance minister from
February 1958 until August 1963,
when he resigned to do organiza-
tional work for the party.
Desai s new responsibilities re-
main to be defined..
Mrs. Gandhi and Desai were sub-
mitted to strong political pressure
from party President Kumaras-
wami Kamaraj to avoid an open
fight that could ruin the shat-
tered Congress party, which lost
82 seats in Parliament in last
month's general elections, leaving
it with only 282 of 520.
Party members have been clam-'
oring for a strong, united govern-
ment. Many feared that the bit-
terness produced by a contest for
the prime ministership would im-
peril the stability of the new
government.

ARMY TAKES CONTROL:
Sukarno Loses Powers;
O ffice Given to Suhartoi

JAKARTA, Indonesia (MP)-Con-
gress stripped President Sukarno
of his mandate of power yesterday
and named Gen. Suharto, the
army strong man, to serve as
Indonesia's acting president.
The army guard in Jakarta was
doubled against possible disorders
from supporters of Sukarno, who
maintained one-man rule for
nearly two decades, beginning with
Indonesia's declaration of inde-
pendence from the Netherlands.

Sukarno, 65, was stripped of his
administrative power just a year
ago in an army move to rid the
government of Communists and
pro-Communists appointed by Su-
karno after years of warm rela-e
tions with Red China.
Bars Participation
The congressional decision bar-
red Sukarno from participating in
any political activities until elec-
tions that are scheduled, to be
held next year.

'Search and Seizure'
Faces Court Review

'Although Congress handed Su-
karno's powers over to Suharto,
the 46-year-old general appeared
glum as he left the congressional
building. He had fought Sukarno's
complete removal for fear pro-
Sukarno masses in Central Java
and in some military units might
resort to violence.
Suharto wanted Sukarno to
continue as a figurehead president
with no power to act on any
measures.
But opponents, particularly stu-
dents kept up pressure on Congress
to strip Sukarno of his title, too.
They contended he was deeply in-
volved in a coup attempted by
Communists in 1965 and should
be brought to trial.
Suharto will be sworn in by
Congress as acting president in a
ceremony tonight.
Suharto's reasoning in hoping to
keep Sukarno on was that he
wanted to maintain unity of the
nation at a time when it is deep
in financial and economic troubles.
While condemning Sukarno in
connection with the Communist
coup, Suharto contended the pres-
ident should remain in his power-
less post as a symbol of unity. Su-
harto warned violence c o u 1d
plunge Indonesia into deeper
trouble.

Shorter Work Week
DETROIT VP) - White collar
members of the United Auto
Workers yesterday not only gave
unanimous approval to a guaran-
teed annual income as a 1967 un-
ion goal but proposed a shorter
work week and a bonus from any
company's "excess profits."
A series of other fringe benefits
also were suggested by some 250
delegates representing 50,000 UAW
members who are technical, office
and professional employes within
and without the auto industry.
' A 35-hour week without a re-
duction in current pay will be rec-
ommended for adoption to the 1.4
'million - member union's general
prebargaining convention meeting
in Detroit April 20-22.
The office workers also proposed
that "where it can be established
that a firm's profit is in excess of
its normal anticipated profit a
bonus be paid to all employes
based on this excess profit."
They did not go into specifics or
amount.
Among other things, representa-
tives of the technical, office and
professional unionists also recom-
mended goals which would give:
-A bonus of at least 50 per
cent on' top of regular pay when
one is on vacation.
-The gearing of pensions to the
cost of living, as auto wages now
are, and the right of a worker to
carry pension credits from one
employer to another if he changes
jobs.
UAW President Walter U. Reu-
ther told the group Friday the
union intends to win, by strike if
necessary, a guaranteed annual
income in new contract negotia-
tions opening in July with the
automotive Big Three - General
Motors, Ford and Chrysler.

WASHINGTON (A)-The power
of police to stop a suspicious-
looking person on the street and'
"frisk" him for weapons or other
criminal evidence may be headed
for review by the Supreme Court.
Already accused in some quar-
ters of coddling criminals and
handcuffing the police, the court
is being asked to examine the
stop and frisk power in 'light of
the constitutional p r o h i b i t i o n
against unreasonable searches and
seizures.
In the view of civil liberatarians
and some bar groups the frisk pro-
cedure conflicts with the Constitu-
tion, the New York Civil Liberties
Union, for instance, calls New York
State's stop and frisk law an ex-
treme inroad on the Fourth
Amendment right.
To prosecutors and some judges,
however, such laws are necessary,
particularly to make sure that
when a policeman questions some-
one on the street the answer won't
be a bullet.'
In January the court opened
the door to another side of the
problem when it granted a hearing
to a Massachusetts man who
claimed he was beaten into sub-
mission by New Orleans police.
A New York case still pending
presents the issue more squarely.
Reaction to Decision
The New York law was passed in
1964 expressly in reaction to a 1961
Supreme Court decision in which
the Fourth Amendment ban on
illegal searches and seizures was
applied, for the first time, to the
states.

Michael J. Murphy, then police
commissioner of New York City,
predicted constitutional attacks on
the law and warned that it should
be enforced fairly. Its purpose, he
said, was to protect the com-
munity.
The challenge now at the Su-
preme Court's threshold is being
made by attorneys for Nelson Sib-
ron, frisked by a policeman on a
Brooklyn street in 1965 and found
to have 10 bags of heroin in his
pocket.
The patrolman, Anthony Mar-
tin, testified that when Sibron
reached into his pocket he thought
he might have been reaching for
a weapon.
At least two constitutional ques-
tions are involved:
-Whether police may stop and
search, as the law says, "any per-
son abroad in a public place whom
he reasonably suspects is commit-
ting, has committed or is about
to commit a felony."
-Whether the weapon, "or any
other thing the posession of which
may constitute a crime," that the
policeman finds may be used as
evidence at trial.
On at least three occasions the
law has been upheld by the New
York Court of Appeals, the highest
court in the state.
The court found the Fourth
Amendment to the Constitution
prohibits unreasonable searches,
not all searches.
Laws 'similar to New York's are
on the books in New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Delaware, Hawaii
and Massachusetts.

SAIGON (A)-U.S. pilots ham-
mered at North Vietnam's Thai
Nguyen steel plant yesterday in
the second raid on that strategic
objective within 24 hours. A sharp
flurry of fighting in South Viet-
nam accompanied the rising air
offensive.
A broadcast dispatch from
Hanoi, listing action over a half-
dozen provinces, declared seven
planes were shot down and some
fliers-the number unspecified-
were captured. There was no con-
firmation in Saigon.
U.S. Air Force Thunderchiefs-
about 42 planes-staged the fol-
lowup strike on the mill, which
covers 2.5 square miles of the
coutnryside 38 miles north of
Hanoi.
Pilots again reported "all bombs
on target." There was no official
assessment of the damage.
Mounted from Thailand
Like the first raid Friday on
this keystone of North Vietnam's
heavy industry, the attack was
mounted from Thailand.
Communist MIGs again were
sighted in the area, but apparently
kept their distance. There was no
report of dogfighting.
Ho Chi Minh's regime de-
nounced the bombing of its steel
plant as escalation. The Soviet
news agency Tass echoed the
charge.
No Stepup
In Washington, the U.S. State
Department reaffirmed the ad-
ministration contention that the
bombing marked no stepup, but
only "a continuation of our at-
tacks on the North Vietnamese
ability to infiltrate men and
equipment into South Vietnam."
A spokesman described the
plant, which turns out such things
as cargo barges, bridge sections
and petroleum drums, as a legiti-
mate military target.
Heaviest of the American ground
engagements yesterday was a fight
between helicopter-borne units of
the 3rd Brigade, U.S. 9th Infantry
Division, and a battalion of about
500 Viet Cong along the Oriental
River 14 miles southwest of Sai-
gon.
Photographer Killed
Some shells fired by Americans

Gallagher was the ninth corre-
spondent to die in the war.
Also yesterday the U.S. 11th
Armored Cavalry Regiment and
173rd Airborne Brigade stirred up
some action in Operation Junction
City, the massive American drive
launched Feb. 22 through War
Zone C. jungles near the Cambo-
dian frontier northwest of Saigon.
Spokesmen said Cavalrymen
clashed with a reinforced company
of perhaps 150 Viet Cong and kill-
ed 12. The others, hammered by
artillery fire, fled into Cambodia.
The cavalrymen found aban-
doned a huge base camp that they

PARIS (W)-Last minute opin-
ion samples yesterday indicate a
slight margin for supporters of
President Charles de Gaulle in the
next French National Assembly.
Throughout France and in
French areas overseas today's
voting is a second-round runoff to
elect members of the diminant
branch of Parliament for a five-
year term.
The Gaullists and their allies
held control of the old assembly
with 282 seats. In the new assem-
bly, 244 will be needed for a ma-
jority.
Lose Ground
One late public opinion poll
p-edicted the Gaullists and their
allies might win 255 to 280 seats;
other soundings indicated a few
less. Most predict the Gaullists,
will lose ground, but disagree on
just how much.
One important factor in today's
vote is that the French left is
throwing all of its strength behind
a single candidate in nearly every
district. This coalition has linked
Socialists and other leftists with.

the Communists for the first time
since the triumph of the Popular
Front in 1936.
The other important factor is
the number of districts-at total
of 335 in Metropolitan France-
where the battle has boiled down
to a straight two-way fight. There
are 62 three-sided contests, and
only one district with as many
as four candidates.
Plurality Enough
Today's vote is to elect assem-
blymen from districts where no
candidate got an absolute major-
ity on the first round last Sun-
day. Under the French System, a
candidate needs an absolute ma-
jority to be elected on the first
round; a plurality is enough on
the second round. The Gaullists
got only slightly more than 37
per cent of the popular vote last
week.
On the first round, only 81 can-
didates were elected, of whom 6
were Gaullists. The Gaullists thus
need to win in 178 districts Sun-
day for continued control of 'Par-
liament.

believe may have been a propa-
ganda and cultural training cen-
ter of the Viet Cong's political
agency, the National Liberation
Front.
The paratroopers of the 173rd;
Airborne Brigade engaged an ene-
my force of undetermined size in
a two-hour fight. They said that,
while suffering no casualties, they
killed eight.
Briefing officers reported be-
latedly that one Thunderchief was

shot down by ground fire in the
Friday raid on the Thai Nguyen
steel plant and the pilot was mis-
sing. This was the 478th plane of-
ficially acknowledged as lost over
the North.
It was also announced that
American pilots on the same day
staged their first raid of the war
on the Hon Gai ammunition stor-
age depot 27 miles northeast of
Haiphong, North Vietnam's major
port.

Johnson Surtax Proposal
Faces Strong Opposition

TONIGHT ONLY
CINEMA I

WASHINGTON M)- The ad-
ministration's proposal for a 6 per
cent surtax received mixed re-
actions yesterday, indicating that
the measure may die before it for-
mally reaches Congress.
If the proposal fails, President-
Johnson will face a deficit of
nearly $13 billion.
The reaction came in the wake
of Johnson's Thursday request to
Congress to restore the incentives
to business investment suspended
five months ago.
Johnson said at the same time
that he is not dropping his tax
surcharge request.
But some key members of Con-
gress virtually rule out the surtax
as a political impossibility after
the President urged reinstatement
of the 7 per cent investment tax
credit on equipment and machine-
ry and accelerated depreciation on
buildings.
But administration economists
are just as emphatic in'the other
direction.
"Heavens, no," was the response
of one when asked if reinstate-
ment of the credit killedrplansafor
the surtax.
But the question on some con-
gressional minds is how can the
administration ask for tax bene-
fits now for business and then ex-
pect the same Congress to raise

taxes later on both individuals and
business.
Failure of Congress to enact the
surtax would drop in the admin-
istration's lap the largest budget
deficit since World War II unless.
spending were cut drastically.
President Johnson figures on an
$8.1 billion deficit for- the fiscal
year which begins July 1 but that
included the extra $4.7 billion in
revenue the surtax would raise.
Without it the deficit would rise
to almost $13 billion.
The surtax would increase the
tax bills of all corporations and
most individuals by 6 per cent. If
a person paid $600 in taxes, for
example, he would pay an addi-
tional $36 over one year if the
surtax were enacted.

GENEVA - Neutral Switzerland
granted temporary haven yester-
day to Svetlana Stalina, the
daughter of Joseph W. Stalin, and
officials said she has given up
"for the time being" efforts to seek
asylum in the United States.
U.S. officials have not acknowl-
edged receiving any request for
asylum from Miss Stalin.
The U.S. government was re-
ported reluctant to grant Miss
Stalina _asylum lest it harm the
warming relations brtween the
United States and the Soviet
Union.
MOSCOW - A ASoviet appeals
court accepted yesterday a plea
for leniency from Buel Ray
Wortham Jr. of Little Rock, Ark.,
and reduced his three-year labor

camp sentence to a $5,555 fine.
Wortham was convicted Dec. 21
of illegally changing money three
times and stealing an antique
statue of a bear from a Leningrad
hotel. Yesterday's decision will
allow him to return to the United
States.
BIMINI, Bahamas - Stokely
Carmichael, one of America's most
militant civil rights figures, in-
jected the black power issue yes-
terday into Adam Clayton Powell's
campaign to regain his congres-
sional seat.
Standing beside Powell, Car-
michael told a news conference he
would do all in his power to help
Powell get re-elected in the April
11 special election in New York
City's Harlem district.

"I'll strike my black power," the
25-year-old head of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Commit-
tee said. "Nothing but black pow-
er. That is the major theme."
WASHINGTON - The Navy
confirmed yesterday it had reject-
ed the resignation request of a
pilot who disagreed with U.S.
policy in Vietnam because his
services were needed.
Lt. Cmdr. Laurence Baldauf, 33,
Coronado, Calif., has claimed that
the Navy labeled him an "uncon-
firmed paranoid personality" and
is keeping him in "involuntary
servitude" by refusing to let him
resign.
Baldauf has criticized U.S. policy
in Vietnam as indecisive and said
he preferred "going after victory"
to limiting the war.
