Johnson asked busi- ness yesterday "to join hands with me in a voluntary partnership" to stem the gold-dollar drain. He urged banks and industry to cut overseas spending, lending and in- vestment "to the bone."} UNITED NATIONS (P)-The United States agreed to a procedural vote in the United Nations General Assembly yesterday and thus avert- ed a showdown with the Soviet Union over voting rights. At a drama-packed session of the Assembly, chief U.S. delegate Adlai E. Stevenson announced the last-minute U.S. decision despite repeated attempts from Albanian Ambassador Halim Budo to inter- rupt him. Budo, regarded by many delegates as the voice of Communist China, threw the Assembly into a turmoil just as he did on Tuesday. *Irr****A** ********** ** ** **~******.~ik**** ' *~ Gold Bars and Braid * presents * WORLDWIDE HOLIDAY I * * Military Ball 9-12 P.M.

Predicts Serious Problems From China's Nuclear PlansI WASHINGTON (QP)-Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamarat said yesterday he sees a most disturbing prospect in Communist China's determination to produce modern nuclear armaments. McNamara projected the possibility of Chinese nuclear attackt some years into the future, saying true nuclear capability takes time to create.+ Although it may be a slow road for the Communist Chinese, McNamara said, "there is no reason to suppose that the Chinese can- not in time produce medium-range and even long-range ballistic missile systems and arm them with thermonuclear warheads. Given! the hostility the regime has shown, this is a most disturbing long range prospect," he said.

Serious But Not Hopeless Expects Russians To Avoid Nuclear Peril WASHINGTON (A') - Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara yesterday described the Viet Nam crisis as "grave, but by no means hopeless," and expressed doubt the Communist Chinese would step in, with a major attack. - Despite Peking's militancy, Mc- Namara said in a report to the House Armed Services Committee, the Communist Chinese "have shown great caution when con- fronted with a determined dis- play of military power." Appreciate Perils McNamara expressed belief that the new leaders of the Soviet Un- ion "fully appreciate the perils of general nuclear war and the dan- ger of local wars escalating into nuclear war." He made clear that he saw no alternative than for the United States to remain in South Viet Nam, supporting the government against Communist guerrillas. He described the war as a key to stemming Communist expan- sion not only in Asia but in othe'r developing nations. Greater Efforts Leaving the committee room, McNamara told newsmen that greater efforts willnbe required of South Viet Nam in the coming year, including a boost in its mil- itary force. This may require a small increase in the number of Americans sent there to help with training, as well as more combat equipment, he said. He noted that one of the chief reasons for the dramatic rif, be- tween Russia and China "was pre- cisely the extent to which violence should be used in overthrowing non-Communist governments." Thus, he declared, a Communist success in South Viet Nam would be claimed "as proof positive" that the tough, militant Peking posi- tion was the correct one.

Uganda Joins Congo Attacks LEOPOLDVILLE () - Soldiers' from Uganda and Congolese reb- els attacked the Congo on two fronts and overran an outpost near the border, military sources here claimed yesterday. The fighting followed Ugandan charges that Congolese planes bombed two villages in Uganda last week and that the Congo- lese army attacked a frontier post near Lake Edward. Apparent objective of the at- tacks is the airport at Bunia, cap- ital of Kibali-Ituri Province. The Ugandans apparently think the at- tack on the villages came from there. The informants here said the thrusts into Congolese territory from Uganda began Tuesday. The town of Mahagi, a Congolese out- post about five miles from the frontier, was overrun. Mahagi is about 80 miles northeast of Bunia. The raiding force struck south- ward and Wednesday attacked the s m a 11 Congolese garrison at Nioka, about 20 miles southwest Ugandans had taken part in an of Mahagi. Almost immediately afterward, Premier Milton Obote of Uganda accused the Congo of bombing Ugandan villages.

L 't t K -..& '. h :. Stevenson Angry Budo's repeated attempts to in- terrupt Stevenson and seize the floor angered the U:S. delegate who demanded of Qualson-Sack- ey "will you please ask for order in the hall." He said that inasmuch as the procedural vote dealt only with the issue of whether the Assem- bly should continue on a non-vot- ing basis "and not with the sub- stantive business of the Assembly, the United States considers that such a vote would not involve or prejudice the question of the ap- plicability of Article 19, and that the question can in no way be af- fected by it."
