WASHINGTON (AP)-Top Pentagon officials have told the t
Senate the Soviet Union is nearing nuclear arms equality with
the United States in an awesome standoff that could make all-
out war suicide for both sides.i
The Defense Department leaders said U. S. strategy is aimed
at wiping out "essentially the entire urban population" of the
Soviet Union in a nuclear war.
At the same time, one Pentagon estimate of possible Ameri-
can casualties ranged from 40 milliion to 120 million.
In fact, the senators were told, the spectre of global dis-
aster in an atomic give-and-take is so great that U. S. nuclearw
might no longer can be counted upon to discourage conventional
flareups-because like the other side just isn't likely to believe it
will be used.
Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown and other military$
leaders appeared at closed hearings by the Senate preparedness$
subcommittee in late April and early May.V
A heavily censored transcript of the testimony was made
public by the subcommittee yesterday.
Brown said the cities have been made targets because the
United States can no longer destroy enough of the growing So- '
viet military arsenal to wipe out its ability to rain devastation
on America..
The secretary of the Air Force said, "At the present time U. S.
forces have a capability to eliminate about censored per cent of
the Soviet population, essentially the entire urban population, by
blast and thermal effects alone, after absorbing a Soviet strike.

HONOLULU (P) -- President,
Johnson and President Nguyen
Van Thieu of South Vietnam met
at a mid-Pacific summit yesterday
and Johnson gave his guest a
pledge "to help your people defeat
aggression" and to stand firm
against all obstacles and decep-
tions.
Johnson flew in nonstop from
Austin, Tex., and Thieu from Sai-
gon, for two days of conferences
assessing the war in Vietnam and
maneuvers in Paris toward bring-
ing it to an end.
The Paris sessions between U.S.
and North Vietnamese emissaries
is the one factor around which the
Honolulu session revolves more
than any other.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
flew down from Washington to
Texas, where the President stop-
ped overnight at his ranch near
Johnson City.
Rusk put the emphasis on Paris
in a brief session with newsmen
at Berstrom Air Force Base in
Austin. He said the American
team would be reviewing with
Thieu the discussions in the
French capital.
"We are very much interested,"
Rusk said, "in, how we can bring
about de-escalation on both sides.
"We are still very interested in
the central issue of what can be
done to reduce the level of vio-
lence . . . So far there has been
no breakthrough."
Told about reports that the Ha-
noi negotiators in Paris were cit-
ing a letup in rocket attacks on.
Saigon as de-escalation, Rusk
said:
"We'll see-are they preparing
another attack?"
Secretary of Defense Clark M.
Clifford and the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Earle
G. Wheeler, wound up a four-day
mission to Vietnam and preceded
Johnson to Honolulu for back-
ground conferences yesterday.
The Thieu-Johnson talks will be
stretched through Friday and part
of Saturday, at the hilltop head-
quarters of the U.S. Pacific Com-
mand, and at a Waikiki Beach
hotel.
The discussions are expected to
range over the military outlook
in Vietnam, the threat of another
enemy offensive, progress toward
building up the Vietnamese army
to around 800,000 men, efforts to
stabilize the government, and'the
U.S. North Vietnamese peace talks
at Paris.
What concerns Thieu is a feel-
ing that perhaps the door could
be opened in Paris to a settle-
ment his people would find un-
acceptable. So he doubtless will be
seeking reassurances to take back
to Saigon on that score.
In a recorded television address
before he left home, Thieu prom-
ised that:
"I will not go to Hawaii to sur
render to the Communists, to sell
the nation, to concede territory,
or to accept a solution involving
a coaliton with Communists im-
posed by the United States,
Thieu said rumors to this ef-
feet have been "falsely claimed."
The South Vietnamese presi-
dent said it was necessary to state
this to counter rumrors being
spread to split the allies.
"Not only are we defeating the
Communists, Thieu added, "but
we are daily becoming stronger,
both militarily and politically, for
an early victory and early resto-
ration of peace."
Before Clifford left Saigon, he
gave assurances the bombing of
North Vietnam will keep on until
Hanoi promises "important and
serious reciprocal acts of re-
straint."
AKRON, Ohio (M)-City offi-
cials, backed by 450 national
guardsmen with orders to shoot,
clamped a 9 p.m. curfew on Akron
yesterday following racial dis-
turbances along several blocks of
a predomoniately Negro area.
Soldiers and police yesterday
sealed off the five-block area near
downtown which contains some of
Akron's estimated 60,000 Negroes
in the rubber industry center of
304,000.
The curfew was to last from 9
p.m. last night until 6 a.m. this
morning, Mayor John F. Ballard
said at a special Council meeting.
He declared a state of emer-
gency.
There were reports of a grocery
store looting and use of tear gas
to disperse a group of about 150.
Some car windshields were broken.
At Akron General Hospital, sev-
eral persons were treated for cuts
from flying glass.
Nearby Barberton and Cuya-
hoga Falls also imposed curfews
from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.
Gen. Sylvester Del Corso, Ohio
Adjutant General, said at a news
conference the troops sent in by
8:00 p.m..

Press Officer Robert J. Mc-

In response to a U.S. inquiry
about this at one of the recent
U.S.-North Korean talks about

said, "They told us there has

LONDON-Top model Twiggy
says she'll marry her manager,
28-year-old Justin de Villeneuve.
The announcement Wednesday
night came after the manager's
nine year marriage to Pamela
Davies, 31, ended in divorce on
grounds of his desertion.
"The wedding won't be just
yet," said Twiggy, 18, whose real
name is Lesley Hornby.
"I'm still very young and I
don't believe in young marriages,"
she added.
Said Justin, whose real name
is Nigel Davies, "We are both
very relieved and happy that the
divorce has at last come through."
He will be free to marry after.

tion routes.
Spokesmen said North Vietnam-
ese opened up with rocket-pro-
pelled grenades on armored per-
sonnel carriers of the U.S. 11th,
Armored Cavalry Regiment, and
this started a fierce exchange of
small-arms fire.
U.S. fighter-bombers and heli-
copter gunships raked the North
Vietnamese positions while artil-
lery pounded the enemy until they
pulled back toward the border.
After the battle Americans
found what was described. as a
"pretty good sized" secret base
camp to accommodate about 150
soldiers.
It apparently had just been
evacuated and nine AK47 assault
rifles, magazines, rucksacks and
various documents were strewn
around.
The documents and interroga-
tion of three North Vietnamese
prisoners identified the enemy as
soldiers of the 32nd' Regiment.
Earlier this week intelligence
reported the 32nd and t3rd regi-
ments had marched 125 miles
south from the central highlands
to join other enemy units refit-
ting at4secret base camps in the
area.
