Viet Nam
Warfare
Rages On
By The Associated Press
SAIGON - More than 200 Viet
Cong Communists were killed
this week, the government report-
ed, as South Viet Nam's guerrilla
war steadily grew in intensity.
The increasing pressure of
American-supported government
units, fanning out into Commu-
nist-infested sectors, brought
bloody clashes daily in the jungles
and dusty rice fields.
One United States helicopter
was shot down without casualties.
U. S. Aid Arrives
More American helicopters ar-
rived and were put into operation,
bringing to nearly 100 the number
of these aircraft which are giving
to President Ngo Dinh Diem's
forces new mobility in the con-
stantly shifting war.
The biggest helicopter opera-
tion of the war so far was con-
ducted when two full helicopter
companies, including a United
States Marine company, flew
troops on a surprise strike in the
Mekong River delta.
An important addition to South
Viet Nam's military hardware
was the arrival of more shallow-
draft, unsinkable boats designed
to carry a squad of men on swift
expeditions through the nation's
2,500-mile spiderweb of canals and
wateiways in the Mekong delta.
Patrol Coast
U.S. naval advisors are working
wIth the 8,000-man navy of South
Viet Nam to patrol the coast.
The government complained to
the International Control Com-
mission yesterday that Red China
has been building up the North
Viet Nam navy by giving it be-
tween 25 and 30 gunboats, in ad-
dition to patrol boats and other
craft since 1958. Naval bases near
the 17th parallel, the dividing
line between North and South
Viet Nam, are being used to trans-
port infiltrators into the south,
said the complaint.
One source has estimated that
at least 3,500 Chinese are at-
tached for training and support
to the North Vietnamese army.
Two Countries
Hold Elections
By The Associated Press
Two countries held national
elections yesterday.
In Pakistan, members of local
councils voted to end three and
one half years of martial law by
electing a new national assembly.
In Southern Rhodesia, Prime
Minister Sir Roy Welensky led his
United Federal Party to an expect-
ed lopsided victory. However, only
a few hundred of the white-
dominated federation's nine mil-
lion Negroes were eligible to vote.

WASHINGTON (M~ - Senate
leaders said yesterday they will
oppose any move to cut foreign
aid grants to punish neutral na-
tions critical of United States pol-
icies and nuclear testing.
A proposal by Sen. Kenneth B.
Keating (R-N.Y.), that Congress
reshape the foreign aid program
to give the bulk of aid to "those
nations which share our view of
the world crisis" was rejected by
Assistant Democratic Leader Hu-
bert H. Humphrey of Minnesota
and Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois.
Senators Call
Literacy Bill
Chances 'Dimt
WASHINGTON OJP)-Two Demo-
cratic Senators who strongly sup-
port legislation to prevent racial
discrimination in voter literacy
tests took a pessimistic view yes-
terday of its chances of being
brought to a vote.
Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa)
said he fears that efforts to choke
off a filibuster by Southern op-
ponents, requiring a two-thirds
majority of Senators voting, will
be unsuccessful.
And Sen. Philip A. Hart (D-
Mich) said he figures "it's at least
50-50 that we won't" be able to
bring the measure to a vote.
The bill, the chief civil rights
measure urged by President John
F. Kennedy, would exempt anyone
with a 6th grade education from
taking a state literacy test.

SENATEDEBATE:
Oppose Slash in Foreign Aid

Keating told the Senate earlier
in the week that the reaction to
reluctant American resumption of
nuclear atmospheric testing would
indicate "who our friends really
are in the world." He said those
who parrot the Russian line
should be dealt with accordingly.
Humphrey said that while he
deprecates the actions of some
neutrals criticizing Uiiited States
policies and programs, he doesnt
believe foreign aid should be
granted on the basis of "whether
we are pleased with the attitude
these countries take"'
"We should judge foreign aid
on the basis of whether it will
promote economic progress in the
world and thus serve our national
interests," he declared.
Humphrey said that, as a mat-
ter of fact, the protests against
II

resumption of nuclear testing had
been more muted than the Admin-
istration had expected. Even Jap-
anese protests were confined to a
relatively small number of persons.
Dirksen commented in a sep-
arate interview he doesn't think
Congress will want to punish the
neutrals by cutting their aid funds.
He said there is general recogni-
tion that many of thorm voice vrit-
icism of both sidesin the cold war
in their effort to maintain a neu-
tral position.
But Dirksen said he is confident
President John F. Kennedy's $4.9-
billion program will be reduced
when Congress considers money
bills to implement it. He said it
will be apparent at that time that
unless some spending cuts are
made the budget isn't going to
be balanced.

NEW YORK - Mayor Robert
F. Wagner removed himself yes-
terday as a candidate for the gov-
ernorship this fall against Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Reports had persisted that Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy might in-
duce Wagner, the state's strong-
est Democrat, to try to upset
Rockefeller, a potential Republi-
can nominee for President in 1964.
Wagner told a news conference
he had discussed the matter with
President Kennedy but that he
was "never under pressure" and
that he "knew how I felt."

four-year term last fall, said he
could not "walk away" from his
city duties.
He added, in effect, that there
was no need for him to run for
governor--that thee are "a num-
ber of outstanding Democrats
who, running on a liberal forward-
looking platform, can take the
measure of Gov. Rockefeller."
But Wagner's state-ment did
cloud the state political picture
considerably.-
Jubilant Repub' hcars said the
mayor's "final decision" not to
run indicates Rockefeller will win
big in November and become the
top candidate for the 1964 GOP

Presidential nomination.
But national party Democrats
were inclined to view Wagner's
statement as a tactical move
which might be designed to quiet
intra-party opposition and whoop
up a draft nomination for him in
a September party convention.
As is customary in such mat-
ters, Wagner said in his announce-
ment that he would rot permit
himself to be drafted for a nom-
ination he could regard as some-
what less than prozmsing. The
last time the mayor ran statewide,
he lost 1'y a round 50d,000 votes
to Sen. Jacob K. Javiis (R-N.Y.)
in 1956.
