U.S. loses nine planes in battle;
one crash kills 150 Vietnamese
Poor marchers

SAIGON AIP)-North Vietnamese
who overran a Special Forces
camp in the far north shot down
nine U.S. aircraft, including a
C130 transport that carried six
American crewmen and as many
as 150 South Vietnamese to their
deaths. This would be the world's
worst air disaster.
The story of what happened at
Kham Duc was told by U.S. of-
ficers yesterday, two days after
the storm only 30 miles southwest
of Da Nang, the big South Viet-
namese and U.S. Marine base.
The fact that officers reported
about 5,000 enemy troops launched
the attack showed that the North
Vietnamese still operate freely in
the area despite U.S. claims that
their main supply base was de-
stroyed in the A Shau Valley to
the north.
The C130 was hit Sunday as it
took off with South Vietnamese
irregulars and their families, and
crashed into a mountain in enemy
territory and exploded. A U.S.
source said the plane was believed
loaded to its capacity of about 150
passengers and as far as is known
there were no survivors.
If the report is confirmed this
would be three times the toll of
the worst previous crash in Viet-
nam. The world's worst civilian
disaster was the collision of two
airliners over New York City Dec.
16, 1960 when 134 persons were
killed.
A second C130 was hit as it was
landing at Kham Duc but its six-
man crew survived. Five Marine
helicopters, a U.S. fighter bomber
and a light observatory plane were
downed Friday, when the camp
carpe under shell fire, and Sunday.
There were no details on survivors
or the number aboard.
In Washington, after brief de-
bate over military policy in South
Vietnam and Europe, the House
voted yesterday to extend for one
year Gen. Earle G. Wheeler's term
as chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
The voice vote came after Rep.
Paul Findley (R-Ill.), who last
week blocked a move to approve
the extension swiftly, said the
Congress should learn more of
Wheeler's views and attitudes to-
ward military policy in Vietnam.
The Senate also must act on
the joint resolution to extend
Wheeler's term for a year.

WASHINGTON ( - Hundreds of poverty-stricken Ne-
groes, facing a first night of rain and chill, moved into their
squatter's settlement by the Lincoln Memorial yesterday as
the Poor People's Campaign mapped the start of demonstra-
tions next week.
A privately circulated staff memo tentatively set next
Monday for the initial demonstrations which it said may
provoke "mass arrests and police brutality."

abroad by recent events in Czecho-
slovakia and their impact on the
Soviet Union appears now to be
worrying the new Communist
leadership of the country.
There are signs that the Central
Committee is about to apply the
soft pedal and to make an effort
to assure the Russians, at least,
that they have little to fear from
the Czechoslovakia party's aims.
In separate statements, two So-
viet marshals angrily attacked
Western suggestions, that Soviet
troop movements near Czecho-
slovakia last week suggested inter-
vention against the liberalization
in Prague.
These developments in con-
tinued tense relations between
Moscow and Prague came as the
Council for Mutual Economic As-
sistance (Comecon) opened an
executive committee meeting in
Moscow.
Informed sources said Czecho-
slovakia has asked the committee
to reconsider the old Stalinist
"division of labor" among the one-
time satellites.

pean countries to specialize In pro-

ducing things which the Soviet
economy needed, but the system
has been breaking down.
A highly placed Communist
source emphasized again yester-
day that the Prague regime has no
thought of changing foreign po-
licy. He added that he did not
regard the exchanges of charges
between Czechoslovakia and her
Communist allies as anything more
serious than "polemics."
Criticism of the party is being
invited as a means of probing pub-
lic opinion. But the party in-
dicated no intention of permitting
this process to get beyond the
limits of "socialism" as the term
is understood in Communist-ruled
countries.
Nor does the party show any
intention of wanting to estrange
itself from the rest of the Soviet
camp. The Central Committee ma-
jority seeks primarily the right of
this country to develop internally
without outside interference.

as housing
'WASHINGTON UP) -Robert1
C. Weaver, the first Negro Cab-
inet member, plans to leave his
post as secretary of housing after
the November elections regardless
of who is President, informed
sources said yesterday.
Sources close to Weaver said he
feels that the eight years he has
headed the nation's housing pro-
grams is long enough.
There was no firm word on
what Weaver plans to do after
leaving the government. He has
given no indication even to sever-
al of his closest aides.
Campaign leaders predict the
protesters, vowing to stay until
the nation meets their demands
for more aid for the poor, will
grow to 3000 by the weekend.
Caravansrmoved toward the
capital through the Carolinas,
Colorado, Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania.
The Pentagon has placed thou-
sands of troops in a state of
readiness for possible emergency
use in Washington, wheren ne
persons died in the fiery racial'
violence that erupted after the
assassination of Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King Jr., in Memphis, Tenn.,
last month.
Campaign leaders declined to
comment on their' demonstration
plans and timetable. .
"Things will unfold," said the
Rev, James Bevel. "We will pre-
sent our demands when we're
ready . . . We expect to put on
a great drama,,a great theater, to
educate the American people."

There ,have been reports he will
become president. of the Baruich
School of Business and Public
Administration in New York City,
A spokesman for the college,.
which on July 1 will become .in--
dependent of the City College of
New York, confirmed that Weaver
is one of the candidates under
consideration.
A spokesman for Weaver said
only that he has made no com-
mitments.
Weaver was appointed by Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy in 1960 as
director of the House and Home
Finance Agency.
The Department of Housing
and Urban Development was
formed as a new Cabinet level
agency in November 1966 and
President Johnson named Weaver
secretary. Weaver took office in
January 1966.
Paris talk
bomb halt
PARIS (P)-A spokesman for
North Vietnam's chief envoy at
the Paris peace talks declared
yesterday, "No ransom will be paid
to the American aggressor for an
end to all U.S. attacks" on his
country.
Thus Xuan Thuy, the North
Vietnamese diplomat, made known
a refusal to yield to U.S. requests
that North Vietnam show 'restraint
in return for a complete bombing
pause.
"The United States must stop all
bombing," his spokesman, Nguyen
Van Sao, told reporters as the
negotiations took a break after the
opening session Monday.
But the ploy failed to deter Am-
bassador W. Averell Harrimary, the
American negotiator. He said he
had, been "hard at work' with a
microscope" going over Thuy's
opening policy statement of Mon-
day. "We haye. got to find some
basis orr which to move ahead,"
Harriman said.
The negotiators enter the seconi*
round of their talks today in
France's International Confer-
ence Center.
Comment and action bearing on
the Paris talks came from these
distant places
- i Washington President
Johnson acknowledged Harriman's
team faces "very hard negotia-
tions." ~
-In Moscow the state radio
claimed Communist bhina's Mao
Tse tung told Thuy frostily he
considered "it was erroneous that
Hanoi agreed to meet" the Amer-
icans. So far Peking's information
organs have blacked out all word
of the talks.
-In London Foreign Secretary
Michael Stewart announced plans
to visit Moscow May 22 for two
day talks with his Soviet opposite
number Andrei A. Gromyko.
As co-chairmen of the rusting
Indochinese conference machinery,
the two men would share the task
of convening any new, wider
peace-conference that Thuy and
Harriman might agree upon.
