WASHINGTON ()-The State
. Department acknowledged with re-
gret vesterday there may have
been two instrusions of Communist
China's airspace since Sept. 1. But
it denied there was any bombing
of Chinese villages by U.S. aircraft
as charged by Peking.
Officials indicated it was the
first time that the United States
has made a public acknowledg-
ment of this kind, although last
year a statement was issued after
an American pilot was shot down
over the Chinese Communist is-
land of Hainan in the Gulf of
Tonkin. The State Department
said then it regretted that a navi-
gational error had occurred.
In 'the latest incidents, officials
made no attempt to question the
existence of a buffer zone extend-
ing some 30 miles below the Chi-
nese Communist border with
North Viet Nam.
No Comment
But official sources would not
discuss any operating orders that
may have been given to American
pilots on the action they may take
if they are jumped by enemy air-
craft. The question of hot pursuit
was termed an operational mat-
ter that could not be discussed.
State Department press officer
Robert J. McCloskey said there
hasebeen an investigation of Chi-
nese Commuist charges relating
to incidents on Sept. 9 and Sept.
17.
S"There is a possibility some in-
advertent intrusion of Communist
China may have taken place dur-
ing the breakoff of air engage-
ments over North Viet Nam," Mc-
Closkey said.
Inadvertent Intrusion
"Any such inadvertent intrusion
is regretted. With regard to charg-
es of strikes on' Communist Chi-
nese territory, there have been no
such strikes by U.S. aircraft and
they would have been contrary to
orders."
Last Friday Secretary of State
Dean Rusk was asked at a news
conference about a Chinese Com-
munist protest that American
planes had bombed Chinese vil-
lages in Yunan Province and that
there had been an air battle with
Chinese MIG fighters.
Rusk said there had been an
announcement in Saigon after the
alleged incident, in which it was
reported that U.S. pilots encount-
ered some MIG fighters about 30
miles south of the Chinese fron-
tier.
Look Further.
"We will be looking into it fur-
ther, of course, to see if there was
any possibility of any mistake,"
Rusk said.
McCloskey said his public state-
ment would be the only action the
U.S._ government is taking. He did
not identify the nationality of the
MIG aircraft encountered over
North Viet Nam.
He also was unable to say how
many planes were involved, how
deep the instrusion had been, or
whether the MIGs were flown
by Chinese, North, Vietnamese or
other pilots.

The jibe at the pontiff, obvious-
ly written after the Pope's latest
encyclical letter appealing for
peace, was a retort to his remark
of Aug. 31 after Red Guard at-
tacks on Roman Catholic nuns in
China. The Pope had said then,
"this could appear a sign of death,
not life."
The Red Guards have been criti-
cized abroad for such activities as
parading teachers, scientists and
elderly people through the streets
naked, torturing accused "class
enemies," humiliating old men and
women and attacking religious in-
stitutions.
The editorial, however, seemed
to admonish the Red Guards. It
told them to follow army rules of
obedience to orders, speaking po-
litely, not hitting or swearing at
people, not damaging crops, not
taking liberties with women or ill
treating captives.
Nevertheless, reports continued
of violent activities. The Soviet
news agency Tass reported from
Peking another humiliation of a
provincial party leader, denounced
by the Red Guards as a "black
bandit" and dragged through the
streets by a mob. The victim was
Chang Che, head of the Shansi
Province Communist party com-
mittee, Tass said. Evidently he had

Before the students took to the
streets, Maj. Gen. Alamsjah, a top

Student demonstrations had
played a heavy role while the
military eased Sukarno out of
power and brought down his Cabi-
net, dominated by pro-Commu-
nists.
Troops stood guard at Sukarno's
palace and other points as the
students marched, waving their
fists and shouting slogans. But
there was no effort to stop them.

statement on Sept. 1.
"Of course," he added, "if it
proves impossible to find an agree-
able man, somebody acceptable to
all, in the course of the next few
weeks, I may perhaps consider
serving until the end of the pres-
ent session."
"In my view, two additional
months will be quite ample for
members, particularly members of
the Security Council, to look for
a suitable man. I also feel inclined
to the view that it would be un-
desirable to change secretaries-

eral Assembly session."
In other UN developments, In-
donesia gave notice yesterday that

withdrew by order of President
Sukarno.
Ambassador Lambertus Nicode-
mus Palar, Indonesia's Washing-

"My government has decided to
resume full co-operation with the
United Nations and to resume par-
ticipation in its activities start-
ing with the 21st session of the
General Assembly."
President Sukarno withdrew
Indonesia from the UN effective
March 1, 1965, after the assembly
elected Malaysia to the Security
Council amid his campaign to
smash that country as an alleged
British puppet.




VATICAN CITY (/P)-Pope Paul
VI called yesterday for a Viet Nam
settlement now "before it becomes
too late."
The pontiff warned that unless
an accord is reached now, it will
haveto be negotiated later in the
wake of bitter slaughter and great
loss.
The Pope raised his voice with
piercing cry and with tears" in anF
ancyclical letter designating all
next month for universal prayers
to Mary for peace. He urged the
world's half billion Roman Catho-
lics to join in special observances
Oct. 4 on the first anniversary of
his peace plea before the United
Nations.
In his call for immediate ne-
gotiations, Pope Paul said:
"Let all those responsible strive
to bring about those necessary
conditions which will lead men to
lay down their arms at last, before
it becomes too late to do so owing
to the mounting pressure of events.
The Pope's encyclical letter call-
ing for a month of prayer carried+
his appeal directly to the people.
Vatican sources described the pon-

tiff as sorely disappointetd that
his previous appeals to the world's
leaders have achieved no steps
toward peace.
Extinguish Conflagration
In his newest dramatic appeal
for political leaders to "prevent
the further spread of the confla-
gration and even to extinguish it
entirely," the Pope said:
"We are threatened by a more
extensive and more disastrous
calamity that endangers the hu-
man family, even as a bloody and
difficult war is raging, particu-
larly in areas of East Asia."

'House Republicans Label
Viet Nam War a Stalemate

KENILWORTH, Ill. OP)-A mo-
tive and a green station wagon
were sought yesterday by police
investigating the Sunday morning
knife and bludgeon slaying of
Valerie Percy, 21, daughter of
Charles H. Percy, Illinois GOP
nominee for the U.S. Senate.
Valerie Percy, who was gradu-
ated from Cornell University in
June, had been working as a co-
ordinator of her father's cam-
paign for senator. Her death
brought the vote drive for her
father to a halt. Percy's Demo-
cratic opponent, Sen. Paul H.
Douglas, also stopped campaign
activity.
Other action in the political
drives of both Republicans and

Democrats for Illinois state of-
fices and Congress seats was sus-
pended. Former Vice President
Richard M. Nixon canceled a GOP
rally appearance which had been
planned for Tuesday.

DETROIT - The Detroit News
reported yesterday its poll shows
Republican Sen. Robert P. Grif-
fin has a 51-48 per cent lead over
former Gov. G. Mennen Williams,
the Democratic nominee, in their
senatorial race.
A poll published by the News in
July gave Williams the edge, 43
per cent to 42 per cent. A personal
poll conducted by Griffin had him
trailing by 7-10ths of a percent-
age point.

WASHINGTON {P)-House Re-
publicans issued a lengthy critique
of administration policy in Viet
Nam last night, charging that the
nation faces "a stalemate with
neither victory nor a satisfactory
peace in prospect."
They say a way must be found
"to end this -war more speedily
and at smaller cost while safe-
guarding the independence and
freedom of South Viet Nam." But
their report gives no suggestions
on how this should or could be
done.
The policy of the current ad-
ministration has been uncertain
and subject to abrupt change,"
says the report by the House Re-
publican Conference.
"The objective of the United

d S

S


States in Viet Nam has become
clouded."
The report, an updated version
of a study made last year, bears
the signatures of House Republi-
can Leader Gerald R. Ford of
Michigan, Melvin R. Laird of Wis-
c9nsin, chairman of the House
GOP Conference and Rep. Charles
E. Goodell of New York, chairman
of the committee on,planning and
research.
It traces the history of U.S. in-
volvement in Viet Nam from 1950
and says, "When President Eisen-
hower left office there was no
crisis in Viet Nam."
During the Johnson administra-
tion, it adds, "The United States
bas become a full-fledged combat-
ant in a conflict that is becom-
ing bigger than the Korean War."
