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 Concerning the foreign forces in South Viet Nam, now numbering 370,000, the communique said: "They shall be' withdrawn, after close consultation, as the othei side witdraws its forces to the north, ceases infiltration and the level of violence thus subsides. Those forces will be withdrawn as soon as possible and not later M than six months after the above conditions have been fulfilled."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.

In speeches to the 121-nation1 U.N.

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 pretend to the world that progreEs had been achieved.

Find Powell Guilty; Avoided Court Order be wrong for any country to in- sist that other mreasures of ai ms 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.
