Declaration
'On Peace'
Produce Statement
Of 'Freedom Goals,'
'Progress in Asia'
MANILA. Uv)-In a lAd fo
peace, President Johnson and hi
war allies announced yesterda
they are prepared to withdrawv
forces from South Viet Nam with-
in six months after their condi.
tIions for establishing peace are
fulfilled.
The offer of withdrawal bore
down on the central argumeni
4 raised by the Communist side-
that the United States intend
to stay indefinitely and that n
peace is possible without Amer-
ican withdrawal.
The allied bid for settlemeni
was contained in a final com-
munique of the seven-nation Ma-
* nila. summit meeting which als
produced a statement on "the
goals of freedom" and a "declara-
tion on peace and progress ir
Asia and the Pacific."
Concerning the foreign forces in
South Viet Nam, now numbering
370,000, the communique said:
"They shall be' withdrawn, after
close consultation, as the othei
side witdraws its forces to the
north, ceases infiltration and the
level of violence thus subsides.
Those forces will be withdrawn as
soon as possible and not later
M than six months after the above
conditions have been fulfilled."
U.S. sources, calling this a
significant signpost for U.S. policy,
noted it would take at least six
months to withdraw the huge
force, including 330,000 Amer-
icans.
South Viet Nam subscribed to
the withdrawal statement, but its
own qualification was embodied
in the communique. It said South
Viet Nam, mindful of past experi-
ence, would "insist that any nego-
tiations leading to the end of
hostilities incorporate effective in-
ternational guarantees."
While offering a road to peace,
South Viet Nam's allies vowed
that the country would not be
conquered by aggressive force.
"We shall continue our military
and all other efforts as firmly and
4 as long as may be necessary, in
close consultation among our-
selves until the aggression is end-
ed," the communique said.
It stressed that "our sole de-
mand on the leaders of North Viet
Nam is that they abandon their
aggression,"
Ap The communique did not show
any willingness to cease the bomb-
ing of North Viet Nam, as has
been demanded at the United Na-
tions. Nor did it mention what
part the Viet Cong might have in
negotiations.
President Johnson and the gov-
ernment chiefs of Australia, New
Zealand, Thailand, South Korea,
South Viet Nam and the Philip-
pines, also:
-Pledged themselves to jointly
seek "goals of freedom" which
would include keeping Asia and
the Pacific free from aggression;
conquering hunger, illiteracy and
disease; building a region of secu-
rity, order and progress; and seek-
ing reconciliation and p e a c e
throughout the whole region.
-Issued a declaration on peace
and progress expressing deter-
mination that "aggression shall
not be rewarded," seeking peace-
ful settlement of the Viet Nam
war and stating that "the peace
and security of Asia and the Paci-
fic, and indeed, of the entire
world, are indivisible."
-Set up machinery for consul-
tation among the nations now al-
t lied in the Vietnamese war effort.
This would work through diplo-
matic channels, including meet-
ings among the ambassadors in

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (I-
Lord Chalfont, the chief of Brit-
ish arms negotiator, warned non-
nuclear countries yesterday they
could torpedo a treaty to ban the
spread of nuclear weapons by in-
sisting it contain broad disarma-
ment measures.;
But Ismail Fahmy of the United
Arab Republic, a leading member
of the nonaligned bloc, imme-
diately challenged the British
viewpoint with a request that the
treaty contain basic points that
would speed the general process of:
disarmament.

insisted that the views of the non-
nuclear power be taken into ac-
count.
Diplomats are hopeful that the
groundwork for agreement will be
laid during the General Assembly,
and that a treaty will emerge
from the 17-nation negotiations to
resume in Geneva after the first
of the year. Both Britain and the
U.A.R. are participants.
The United States and the So-
viet Union have joined in spon-
soring a resolution appealing to all
countries to work diligently for a
treaty and to refrain from any
action would hamper its conclu-
sion.
Fahmy asserted that no resolu-
tion should be approved that'
would detract from one adopted
at last year's assembly, which set
forth basic principles for a non-
proliferation treaty.
That resolution, sponsored by
the nonaligned powers taking part
in the Geneva talks, asked that a
treaty be devoid of loopholes that
would permit spread of nuclear
weapons, and that it embody an
acceptable balance of mutual re-
sponsibilities between nuclear and
nonnuclear powers.
Fahmy told the committee it
was essential to put those provi-
sions in a treaty in order noL to

Avoided Court Order

NEW YORK (A-The state Ap-
pellate Division found Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell, (D.-N.Y.), guIlty
yesterday of willful failure to com-
ply with a lower court order in
a long-standing libel Judgment
and sentenced him to 30 days in
jail and $250 fine.
The court overruled 4-1 a Sept.
9 decision by state Supreme Court
Justice Sidney Fine. He had found
the Harlem Democratic leader in-
nocent of willful failure to appear
before the court to give an ac-
counting of his finances.
The majority decision of the
court, the state's second highest,
spoke of the "long and ugly rec-
ord in this matter."
Consistent
"This failure to obey a sub-
poena is consistent with the deb-
tor's cynical refusal to honor his
own promises," it said, "together
with a total disregard of any and
all process that has been served
against him."
The court gave Powell until Nov.
3 to appear before it and submit
to a financial examination to
purge himself of the contempt
conviction.
This was the third civil con-
tempt finding against Powell in
connection with a $164,000 libel
judgment won by Mrs. Esther
James, a Harlem widow who
Powell three years ago described
on a television program as a "Ibad
woman," or police graft collec-
tors.
Two earlier arrest orders are
out against Powell for civil con-
tempt, but they do not specify a
sentence.
Last Oct. 10, a state Supreme
Court jury convicted Powcll of
criminal contempt. No sentence
has been handed down on that
conviction,
Yesterday's ruling upheld an
appeal by Mrs. James against the
state Supreme Court finding that
Powell had not willfully failed to
appear for the financial examina-
tion.
Original Judgment
The original judgment against
Powell stemmed from a jury find-
