WASHINGTON ()P) - Congress swiftly completed action on a $1- billion military pay bill yesterday and sent it to the President in time for the added money to reach servicemen's pockets next month. "They need this money now and if we don't pass this bill today. we may not get it to them," Rep. L. Mender Rivers (D-SC), chairman of the House Armed Services Com- mittee, told the House. Although the $1 billion was more than twice as much as the administration had requested for military pay increases, President Lyndon B. Johnson is expected to sign it into law., No Dissent The big pay bill-which would give 2.5 million servicemen their third raise within two years-had passed the Senate and House without a dissenting vote. The House completed congres- sional action on it yesterday by accepting, at River's urging, the changes the Senate made in the bill passed by the House July 20. This sent the bill directly to the White House without need of a Senate-House conference to iron out differences between the two versions. Adjournment By skirting a conference, Rivers suggested new rates would not get caught in the adjournment squeeze and could go into effect Sept. 1- meaning another "$80 million plus will go into the pockets of these paupers in uniform." Passage of the measure can be counted as a victory for Rivers and his committee against ad- ministration opposition led by Sec- retary of Defense Robert S. Mc- Namara. They introduced the $1- billion pay bill and won its unani- mous acceptance by the House. The administration had recom- mended an increase of $447.5 mil- lion. Reversing the. pattern of recent previous increases, the bill will give the largest percentage in- creases to officers and enlisted men with less than two years service. Enlisted Men The bill will give enlisted per- sonnel in this category an average 17.3 per cent raise in base pay and officers 22 per cent. It provides a 6 per cent increase for officers with more than two years' service and an 11 per cent across-the-board boost to enlisted men in the same category. The measure also will add $10 to the $55-a-month special com- bat pay for personnel in the Viet Nam" war zone and it will give retired military personnel about, a 4- per- cent- cost-of-living increase in monthly pension. here 5,000 It was the second straight night of mass, unrest, triggered late Wednesday by a white- officer's arrest of a Negro on a drunken driving charge . . . and the second time around was worse. After a quiet day crowds gathered at sundown and quickly ran. wildly out of control. Three hours later there were countless reports of persons stoned and beaten, of cars overturned, fires started, shots exchanged. Police complained they were pulled from cars and beaten; attacked when, they tried to '----_- ----- ROBERT S. McNAMARA REP. L. MENDEL RIVERS Voice Plans Support. of SDS, Strike By ROBERT MOORE Students at the University are already planning, support for a December student strike to pro- test 'United States policies in Viet Nam. The strike, sponsored. by Stu- dents for a, Democratic Society, is scheduled to take place some- time in the first 10 days of De- cember, according to Norman Mc- Donald, a member of the SDS Viet Nam Committee. The strike plan- ners intend to hold alternative ac- tivities, ;instead of classes, such as sit-ins and protests at campus mltes. training and research f a- "The strike is definitely going to happen," McDonald said. "The SDS strike plan, has already re- ceived support from sturdents in France and Japan, as well as the U.S.," he added. Voice Plans. At the University, Voice Poli- tical Party is planning to support the strike, according to Richard Shortt, '66, president of Voice. Shortt said that Voice was con- ,sidering a teach-in during the day that students would skip their classes. SDS is also planning Viet Nam Day ,a nationwide student protest day, which would offer the "lo- cal option" of civil disobedience. Viet Nam Day is tentatively sched- uled for the middle of October, he said, and will be held at 30 to 40 locations across the country. The "local option" of civil disobed- pience is important, to the protest, he said. At .Berkeley, students have already planned to protest at a nearby armory. Support Protest Voice is planning to support the Viet Nam. Day protest, as well as the strike., Shortt reported. He said the group is considering such actions as sit-ins at ROTC drills or before the military armory in Ann Arbor. But Voice had not yet decided, he said, because civil dis- obedience would lead to arrests, and hie doubted if Voice could pay the necessary fines. Both SDS plans are reminiscent of a proposed teacher strike - or class moratorium, as it was calle-C then--which was planned here last March in a similar protest against Viet Nam. That strike was cancelled after widespread con- demnation that it was "unfitting and inappropriate" for teachers. Wants UIN To Discuss OAS UNITED NATIONS (1P) - The rebel government of Dominican All raises apply only to base pay and do not affect housing and subsistence allowances. In addition to the armed serv- ices, the increases apply to the nation's other uniformed organi- zations, the Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Pub- lic Health Service. Here are some representative samples of the effects of the mili- tary pay raise: -A recruit with less than four months service would get his basic pay raised to $88 a month from $78; -A private first class or seaman with one year, to $118 from $99; -A corporal or petty officer third class with five years, to $233 from $210; -A sergeant or petty officer 2nd class with 10 years, to $302 from $272. -A major or lieutenant com- mander with 19 years, $804 from $758; -A colonel or navy captain with 24 years, to $1.,087 from $1,025; -A major general or rear ad- miral (upper half), to $1,543 from '$1,456; arrest wrongdoers. Negroes complained that if the. police weren't there, there would be no occasion to riot. The flow of trouble reports was so heavy at police headquarters it was virtually impossible to sort them. Both police and firemen said they were lured to certain places by false alarms, then ambushed. Even ambulances were bombarded. A' police sergeant in charge of directing patrol cars said five had been shot at. 1500 Persons In Wednesday's riot, 1,500 per- sons caused widespread damage, injuries and arrests in eight hours of violence. Last night's crowd was far larger and just as unruly. Police said they'd like to call out the national guard, but were unable to reach the lieutenant governor. The governor is out of the' state. Last night, despite daylong ef- forts by police, clergymen and so- cial workers to head off new violence, crowds began massing at sunset in the same area-Watts, southeast of downtown Los An- geles, core of this city's Negro population. At first, a few youths began throwing rocks-fulfilling prom- ises youngsters had made earlier in the day to return. Stay Away. In the beginning, police stayed away, hoping that by doing so they would not draw fire from the crowd. But as the m~ob swelled, 80 officers went in, then 135 sheriff's deputies were called in, and later 240 more were called for. No one seemed immune to pelt- ing. Negroes in passing cars were bombarded. Police cars were fa- vorite targets. A radio newscar Negro clergymen waded into the masses,, imploring a halt to the# violence. They were paid no heed. had its windshield smashed. There was no apparent motiva- tion. It was another warm night of the kind that invites outdoor activity. But the best explanation police could offer was general "re- bellion against authority . .. any authority." Negroes who live in the area said that many persons, especially teenagers, have grievances against policemen-and were taking ad- vantage of the opportunity to ex- press them. Singapo re Takes Steps For Survival SINGAPORE WA) - Newly inde- pendent Singapore scattered peace overtures in Southeast Asia yes- terday in what one cabinet mem- ber termed moves "to insure the survival of our small island." The major gesture came from Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, who said he would go anywhere to confer with Indonesian Presi- dent Sukarno as soon as Indonesia recognizes Singapore as an ide- pendent state. Sukarno has vowed to "crush Malaysia," from which Singapore broke away Monday. Nonalignment In another peace move, Singa- pore Foreign Minister S. Rajarat- nam told newsmen his country would seek nonalignment because it is "the safest policy." The foreign minister added that Singapore will permit foreign mil- itary bases to remain in Singapore if his government is "satisfied that they are necessary for the defense of Malaysia." Britain has about 50,000 troops in Malaysia with vital bases con- centrated in Singapore. Lee ex- pressed belief yesterday Indonesia would crush both Singapore and Malaysia if the British leave. Rajaratnam said: "Our foreign policy is not designed to influence world events, but purely to insure the survival of our small island." Sukarno's Drive He continued that Singapore will have to wait and see if it is still included in Sukarno's drive to defeat Malaysia. He, as Lee has, insisted Indonesia must take the first step and "there must be recognition." Announcing that South Viet Nam has joined the nations, in- cluding the United States, which have recognized the new govern- ment, Rajartnam said Singapore also would' like to establish diplo- matic relations with the* Philip- pines. The Philippines have a dis- puted claim to the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah. Greek Peace Talks Fail* Thousands March in, Athens ATHENS (R)-George Papandreou and King Constantine failed last night to reach agreement in Greece's political crisis. Thousands of the ousted premier's followers defied police and paraded through the streets of Athens. After a 90-minute conference with the king at the palace, Papandreou said he made a "last effort" to persuade the king to rename him premier or call new elections. Later Constantine's current premier, George Athanasiadis Novas, said the king turned down both of Papandreou's demands. Athanasia- dis Novas said Papandreou refused to let any other member of hisf Center Union Party become t ISAIGON WA) - A surface to air 'missile, presumably Soviet -built, downed a United States Navy Sky- hawk yesterday in a region of North Viet Nam outside the range of known firing sites around Hanoi. AD. U. S. G. Sharp, commander of the, Pacific fleet, told newsmen in Coronado, Calif., that it ap- parently came from a mobile launcher "that would be extreme- ly difficult to find." A U.S. spokesman said the pilot of the plane was missing and pre- "sumed dead. Lift Siege The new missile attack came as large U.S. and Vietnamese ground forces lifted the 70-day siege of Duc Co in South Viet Nam's cen- tral highlands. The Vietnamese special forces camp there came under light Viet Cong mortar fire late last night, but there was no word of damage or casualties. So far as was known rhere, there were -no Americans in range of the 10 rounds of 81-mili- meter mortar fire directed at the camp. Military officials said a district headquarters at Dak To, 70 miles north of Duc Co, also came under mortar attack. There were no cas- ualties and damage was reported slight. There was a similar skirm- ish at Phu Cat to the east of the Pleiku-Duc Co area. Aircraft landed supplies at Duc Co and flew out dead and wounded. Mekong Delta Elsewhere the heaviest ground attack seemed to center in the Mekong Delta about 95 miles southwest of Saigon. Big govern-, ment and Viet Cong units were engaged at that point, 15 miles below Can Tho. Reports from the field said the troops estimated they killed 156 guerrillas and con- firmed 90 of these of body count. Government casualties were de- scribed as light. The Skyhawk fell 19 days after a U.S. Air Force Phantom Jet Fighter was shot down northwest' of Hanoi -by what briefing officers said appeared to be a surface to air, missile. The U.S. Air Force followed up loss of the Phantom with a 46- plane raid that pilots said de- stroyed one missile site and dam- aged another 40 miles northwest of the Communist capital. Regular pgroundf ire felled three of those raiders and two others were de-, stroyed in a collision on a flight back to their home base. Reprisal? Whether there would be similar reprisal in the latest case was not disclosed. Most of the 72 planes announced as lost in the campaign+ against North Viet Nam have fall-; en as a result of, fire from conven- tional antiaircraft batteries and machine guns. The Shkyhawk, one in a forma- tion of four such single-seated light jet bombers, was hit about 50 miles so'uth-southwest of Hanoi. That is about 10 miles beyond the estimated reach of any' missiles+ on the launching pads of known fixed sites the Russians have help-; ed the North Vietnamese to set up. The flying mates saw no para- chute, the spokesman said, and the pilot was presumed killed. The Defense Department in Washing- ton identified the pilot as Lt. (JG) ..}-. ::~ 1Jan61 :?'.' :Ap N" '.

Safely Back The spokesman said the three other planes of the flight made it safely back to the 7th Fleet Car- rier Midway. Radio Hanoi broadcast a decla- ration that "the armed forces and people of Ninh Binh province" shot down the Skyhawk and dam- aged several other planes. It said nothing about4 a missile. MaJ. Gen. Gilbert L. Meyers, deputy commander of the U.S. 2nd Air Division, said two weeks ago North Viet Nam might set up missiles outside its seven known. prepared buses. He said the build- ing of a site with. earthworks is for protection of the missiles from air attack and is not necessary for firing them. President, Says .Americans Will Pull Out if Viets Ask By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-President Lyndon B. Johnson added his voice yesterday to an administration chorus that insists this country is warring in Viet Nam only by request-and later in the day, admin- istration officials acknowledged receipt of a second Viet Nam message from Ghana President Kwame Nkrumah, but refused to reveal its contents. Clarifying United States involvement in the war-torn Southeast Asian nation, Johnson said " the U.S. would never undertake the sacrifice these efforts require if~ premier. "Therefore, the conclusion is that there has been no improve- ment in the situation," said Athanasiadis Novas. Meanwhile, 12,000 students and building workers marched th'rough the streets of Athens shouting pro-Papandreou slogans. Police had been under orders to prevent such marches, but they stepped aside when the demon- strators started to move away from their assigned meeting places. Bloody street battles early in the crisis left one dead and 300 injured. In Salonika there was a rare I anti-Papandreou rally by 5,000 supporters of the rightist National Radical Union (ERE) Party.

Carainanlis, founder of ERE, moved to Paris in self exile after losing the Nov. 1963 elections to Papandreou. The Salonika meeting-with demonstrators shouting "long live the king"-was in sharp contrast to most of the rallies since the Greek crisis opened 28 days ago. Almost all of them have been pro- Papandreou 'affairs with shouts against the king and pleas for a MORE COURT TESTS: Plan To, Challenge Voting Law By The Associated Press Two Southern governors yester- day announced their intention to challenge the new voting rights law in the courts. Gov. Robert McNair said South Carolina will go to the courts to test the constitutionality of the voting act, and Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama said he will file suits in federal court to stop or limit racial demonstrations in Alabama as well as to challenge the new voting rights law. -Wallace told newsmen also that he will "vigorously defend" the Justice Department's suit against Alabama's poll tax. Wallace handed reporters a statement saying he has employ- ed attorneys to draw up the two suits over demonstrations and vot- ing rights and to defend the poll tax. Among them, he said, are John Satterfield of Yazoo City, Miss., a former president of the American Bar Association; Reid Barnes of Birmingham, attorney for the Jef- ferson County and the Bessemer City school boards, and Maury Smith of Montgomery. The governor said the complaints in federal court will be filed soon. If the court refuses to order a halt to racial demonstrations or to limit their scope, Wallace said we will take further action at and 19 deaths in February and March over the same period of 1964," he said. Wallace denounced the new fed- eral voting rights law as "puni- tive, unreasonable and destructive of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. It is as bitter as any- thing enacted by the Reconstruc- tion Congress (in the years fol- lowing the Civil War) ." The federal law prohibits the use of literacy tests in Alabama an d other states where less than 5per cent of the voting-age Pop- ulation was registered or voted in the 1964 presidential election. Wallace said that "the armed services of our country will not accept an individual unless he can read and write. I say if a person is literate enough to vote, he is literate enough to fight for our country." Under the federal voting rights law federal registrars have been sent into four Alabama counties to register Negroes. In the four counties - Dallas, Hale, Lowndes and Marengo-they registered 1,191 new voters in the first two days. its help were not wanted and re- quested." Lodge Statement There had been no real ques- tion about American involvement hinging on the invitation of the Saigon government until Henry Cabot Lodge, new ambassador to South Viet Nam, was reported this week to have told reporters that U.S. forces would remain there even if asked to leave by the Saigon authorities. Published re- ports said Lodge made such a statement in secret testimony be- fore the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on July 27. The remark attributed to Lodge created considerable stir because, if correct, it would have marked a sharp departure from long stand- ing policy. The occasion for Johnson's re- statement of the old-and ap- parently still - current--policy was the swearing in of Lodge, the 1960 Republican candidate for Vice- President, for a second tour as ambassador to South Viet Nam. Added Significance Johnson's words took on added significance because the premier of South Viet Nam, Nguyen Cao Ky,, sought recently at a Saigon news conference to counter any thought that the buildup of American troops in his country meant, the U.S. was taking over the war from the Vietnamese. The Nkrumah note was received by the State Department and passed on to the White House. A first message from Nkrumah to the chief executive was brought to Washington last week by Alex India Charges Pakistan, Built Kashmir Post SPRINAGAR, Kashmnir W--)-The Indian government claimed yes- terday that Pakistan set up a military headquarters last May under command of a Pakistani ar- my general to plot guerrilla war- fare now raging in disputed Kash- mir.

Akhtar Hussain Malik, lden- tiI~ed as commander of Paki- stan's 12th Division. India claims Pakistan sent up to 1500 infiltrators into Kashmnir. Casualties Casualties since the fighting broke out in the night of Aug. 5 have mounted to 109 alleged Paki-. stani infiltrators and 41 Indians dead, according to ~an Indian gov- ernment spokesman. The Indians claimed 25 infil- trators were killed in 24 hours ending Thursday afternoon and listed 29 Indian dead, including a, late, report of 12 policemen killed Tuesday when a vehicular patrol was ambushed outside Sprinagar, the Kashmir-Jammu summer cap- ital.
