The initial response from the Russians was not encouraging. Comment from other UN diplo- mats indicated that no agreement on the financial crisis was in sight. Lord Caradon, British minister of state, made the appeal in a policy speech to the 115-nation General Assembly-his first since his appointment as his country's chief UN delegate. Voluntary Fund He declared that if a voluntary fund was established to save the United Nations from bankruptcy "We ourselves would be prepared under suitable conditions to make a contribution." He said Britain would do so in an effort to get general agree- ment to enable the United Nations, to end the deadlock over voting rights, and to go forward "to face the tasks of the future, tasks which we are anxious to tackle without further delay." LORD CARADON PRESIDENT SUKARNO The Soviet Union, France and 14 other UN members are in that classification for failure to pay UN peacekeeping assessments. The two big powers contend the assess- nents are illegal because they were approved by the Assembly instead of the Security Council. Confident Lord Caradon told a reporter he was confident that if the Soviet Union would heed the British ap- peal "France will not hold back." In his speech the British dele- gate upheld the United States po- sition that Article 19 cannot be shelved in any settlement of the dispute.- He said it would be a betrayal '. 3 1 F 9 m'< i t ''' ' =a ''r 1 1 , "We appeal to the Soviet Union of the high purposes of the United to give the lead so that all can Nations "if we were to make our join in a common effort to make first act an abandonment of the that possible," he added.

Red China Calls U.S. Bombings 'Aggression' TOKYO (')-Red China charged yesterday the United States air strike at Communist supply and reinforcement lines in Laos Jan. 13 was wanton bombing and a "direct aggression against Laos." The attack on the Pathet Lao- controlled area by American fight- er-bombers "is a grave move tak- en by the Johnson administration of the United States to expand its direct armed aggression in Laos in flagrant violation of the Ge- neva agreements," the Chinese Foreign Ministry declared. The charge was made in a state- ment broadcast from Peking by the official New China News Agen- cy. The American targets were in the Ban Ban area along Route 7, a key segment of a road and trail network that feeds both the Path- et Lao in central Laos and the Viet Cong guerrillas in South Viet Nam. Two of the U.S. jets were shot down. Both the pilots were picked up by helicopters. U.S. government sources said 14 F-100 Supersabres and F-105 Thunderchiefs took part in the mission. The Communists again insisted that 24 jets were involved. "Since the United States direct- ed the Laotian rightist faction to stage the military coup d'etat in Vientiane last April, U.S. imper- ialism has incessantly sent its air force on reconnaissance and bombing missions over the liberat- ed (Pathet Lao) areas of Laos and carried out armed interference in Laotian internal affairs," the Chinese statement said. Word has leaked also out re- cently of C-47's, military models of the DC-3, being armed with multibarrel machine guns that can loose several thousand rounds a minute. Several C-47's are said to have been fitted with these devices for combat duty. One was used early this month around Binh Gia in operations against the Viet Cong units that inflicted on U.S.-supported Viet- namese ground troops their worst defeat of the war.

Huron across from City Hall NO 8-9500 Indonesian Attack Seen As Possible Monsoon Rains Slow Troop Movements SERIAN, Malaysia () - British Royal Navy Air Force jets are scrambling several times a week "when our radar picks up Indo- nesian air activity along the bor- ders," a military source said yes- terday. Some military men said pri- vately that the Indonesians, com- manded by Indonesian President Sukarno, might try to launch an air attack against the main area defense base at Kuching, 37 miles north of here. "So far the Indonesian planes have turned back just short of the border-but there always could be the first time and we are on constant alert," the source said. Intelligence Reports On the ground, Kuching intel- ligence reports, the Indonesians have at least 5000 men along the western Sarawak border. Three thousand have moved in within recent weeks and another 3000 are reported on the way, these sources said. The monsoon has hindered the reinforcement of Malaysian for- ward posts and border positions. Helicopter flights carrying men and supplies have been grounded for hours each day because of rain and low visibility. Downpour However, British intelligence re- ports say, the downpour, which usually deposits two inches of rain a day, actually is helping the In- donesians by swelling rivers and making them more navigable for vessels carrying troops and sup- plies. Britain so far has boosted to 10,000 the, number of men sent to Malaysian Borneo to meet the In- donesian threat. A planeload of Gurkhas arriv- ed from Hong Kong yesterday to complete the airlift of these rein- forcements. British Sources British officers in Serian say an Indonesian attack could come within a week but think late Feb- ruary or early March more likely, as that is when the monsoons end. "We know the Indonesians are preparing for something big," a British officer said at this for- ward headquarters, 15 miles from the jungle border. "A land attack could come any time. However it seems more like- ly that the enemy would wait for the monsoons to taper off before launching an overland attack of any size. Some Indications "But there are some indications that some sort of action could come in the next few days."d , Britain's incoming chief of the general staff, Sir James Cassels, waded through ankle deep mud on a final inspection of North Bor- neo defenses against Indonesia. Cassels flew to forward jungle posts where British troops have carried out a buildup. publican Party's 1964 election loss- es in Michigan, with former Sen. Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy cited as much to blame, may not be overcome for a gen- eration, a GOP spokesman said yesterday. The Ripon Society of Cambridge, Mass., a private GOP research and policy group, took that position in a report to the Republican Na- tional Committee. The report said the effect of the election losses were of the mdi- cated severity despite Republican Gov. George Romney's "stunning individual victory." In addition, the researchers' re- port said: "Michigan GOP fund-raiser Ar- thur Summerfield diverted so much of Republican funds to Goldwater that Romney washleft to 'shift for himself' and that I~ r 4 t GOVERNOR ROMNEY Romney's victory was 'no doubt' due to his 'conspicuous disinter- est' in the Goldwater-Rep. Wil- liam Miller presidential ticket., Romney refused to endorse Gold-, water. He won support for 'stand- ing up to Goldwater'," the report said. Michigan Republicans might not, have lost three seats in Congress had the party put up a candidate other than Goldwater for Presi- dent, it concluded. It also concluded that Michi- gan's legislative redistricting un- der the one-man, one-vote prin- ciple-ordered in the Senate by a "Democratic-controlled State Supreme Court"-led to loss of Republican majorities in both houses. The Ripon Society, in the Mich- igan section of a 124-page report titled "Election '64," also said Goldwater's candidacy contributed to Elly Peterson's defeat by Dem- ocratic Sen. Philip A. Hart. It said, however, that Hart "prob- ably" would have won anyway. Touching on the Romney and Goldwater campaign policies in Michigan, the party researchers said: "From the outset it was ap- parent that Sen. Goldwater had written off Michigan and that Gov. George W. Romney had writ- ten off Goldwater. CAPE KENNEDY (P)-An un- manned Gemini spacecraft suc- cessfully survived a suborbital test flight yesterday, ending months of frustration for United States man-in-space plans and clearing the way for astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young to ride a similar capsule into orbit in April. After the spacecraft had been retrieved from the sea and se- cured on the deck of an aircraft carrier at the end of its 19-min- ute flight, Grissom told a news conference: "There are a lot of happy peo- ple here today. But I doubt any- one is happier than John and I. We now see the road clear to our flight and we're looking forward to it." Clocklike Precision Everything worked with almost clocklike precision on the flight, the final unmanned mission scheduled in the Gemini program, Sitting in for the astronauts were a pair of electronic "black boxes" which automatically° activated some functions which astronauts will perform later. A Titan 2 booster rocket rose from here at 9:03 a.m., only three minutes behind schedule. It pro- peled the 6900-pound spacecraft to an altitude of 105 miles and drilled it back through the sear- ing heat barrier of the atmos- phere at a peak speed of about 16,600 miles an hour. After its descent, the space chamber parachuted safely into the Atlantic Ocean about 2150 miles southeast of the launching site, 24 miles from the optimum target zone where the recovery ship Lake Champlain was station- ed. Excellent Condition The capsule was reported in ex- cellent condition. "There were no cracks or breaks in the heat shild and the space- craft structure appeared sound," reported operations director Chris Kraft. He said data radioed from the Titan 2 and the capsule indi- cated all systems worked as plan- ned. Kraft and Gemini Program Di- rector Charles Mathews said about 17 days would be,' required to completely analyze the data. They said that on the basis of first-loot: information they foresee no trou- ble that would hold up the first manned mission in April. Grissom, 38-year-old Air Force major who made a 15-minute suborbital space flight in the Mer- cury Program, and Young, 34- year-old Navy Lieutenant Com- mander, have waited several months for their chance to fly. World News Roundup By The Associated Press; TOKYO - Japanese Foreign Minister Etsusaburo Shiina said yesterday he has the impression that both, the United States and Britain are counting on Japan to mediate the Malaysian issue. Shiina made the remark on his'return from a 10-day visit to the United States and Britain, where he conferred with government lead- ers on issues relating to peace in Asia. NAIROBI, Kenya-Indonesian Deputy Foreign Minister, Mrs. Supeni, arrived from Cairo yesterday to explain to Kenya's leaders her country's withdrawal from the United Nations. * * * * NORFOLK, Va. - The first group of dependents to head for Guantanamo Bay after the lifting of the ban against them were dis- appointed yesterday when a 24-hour delay in departure was an- nounced. Weather caused a delay in operations of military air transport service aircraft, and none was available for the flight to the United States naval base on Cuba's southeastern shore. Last March President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered that the base phase out its dependents to achieve garrison status. The order had resulted from a water shut-off by Cuba Premier Fidel Castro. A 5th Naval District spokesman said that MATS plans to fly 900 dependents to Cuba within the next six weeks at the rate of four flights a week. ENUGU, Nigeria-The World Council of Churches yesterday an- nounced it will set up a working committee for formal consultations with the Roman Catholic Church. The significant ecumenical breakthrough came after years of behind-the-scenes planning, sources said. It is planned as a purely consultative body which "would not be able to make any decisions," said a report approved by the council's 100-member central committee. Unofficial talks have been taking place for years between the Vatican and such high council officials as General Secretary William A. Visser T.
