SUPPOSE
you were walking across People's Plaza and a giant 40-foot
caterpillar was about to devour you and then, out of the
clouds came the foot of the Jolly Green Giant and squished
it into icky yellow garp . . . suppose it all happened. Would-
n't you want to go somewhere to clean up, settle down, and
tell your nephews the horror of it all? Now in these last
days such a place exists . . . the New CANTERBURY HOUSE,
where future moths, butterflies, and metamorphized and jaded
beings gather.

A HELICOPTER unloads a stream of South Vietnamese troops at Mai Loc. The area was used
as a staging ground for the soldiers prior to setting out for Khe Sahn.

SAIGON (g) - Behind a
blanket of bombs from U. S.
B52's, South Vietnamese in-
fantrymen pushed to within
two miles of the Laotian bor-
der yesterday without resist-
ance.
By ,nightfall of the fourth day
of their new drive below the de-
militarized zone, the Saigon
troops *had yet to report major
contact with the retreating North
Vietnamese.
The drive marks the closest
that South Vietnamese troops
have come to the Laotian border
since the invasion of. last Feb-
ruary.
Hanoi's forces, estimated at up
to 18,000 in the northwestern
sector of South Vietnam two
weeks ago, were now believed to
number between 6,000 and 10,000
men.
Allied intelligence reports in-
dicated the North Vietnamese
were still pulling back into Laos
and North Vietnam in the face of
incessant U.S. aerial pounding
and allied artillery bombard-
ments.
In the latest advance of the
South Vietnamese sweep, Ameri-
can helicopters ferried 1,000
fresh troops Thursday to jungle-
cleared landing zones two miles
from the Laos frontier.
Before the helicopter assault,
U.S. B52 bombers mounted their
heaviest raids in three weeks in
the much-bombed northern sec-
tor immediately below the DMZ
and inside of it.
About 25 of the eight jet-
bombs on North Vietnamese
positions from the southern half
of the DMZ to points 20 miles
south of it below Khe Sanh.
In all, about 1,000 U.S. artil-
lerymen and 24 guns were spread
out on the five bases. The guns
were mostly 8-inch Howitzers
plus a few long - range 175mm
artillery pieces.

THE SENATE passed yesterday by a vote of 49-12 a $6 bil-
lion antipoverty bill after rejecting all Republican efforts to
revise it more in line with President Nixon's views.
The measure extends all of the Office of Economic Opportunity
programs for an additional two years and sets up a far-reaching new
child development program of enriched day care for children of
working parents in poor families.
Another major provision would turn control of the controversial
Legal Services for the Poor program over to a national corporation
and end any threat of state governor vetoes.
A DEMOCRATIC PARTY REFORM COMMISSION issued
a packet of proposals yesterday aimed at streamlining toe presi-
dential nominating conveonti nin 1972.
The committee proposed revising pre-convention committee ac-
tivities, the elimination of strictly alphabetical roll calls at the con-
vention, and the barring of "favorite son" presidential nominations.
These will go directly to the convention's Rules Committee next year.

PARIS (A) -- The Viet Cong
welcomed President Nixon's new
peace negotiator, William Por-
ter, to the Vietnam talks yester-
day with an offer to meet with
him privately to explain the Com-
munist seven - point peace plan.
The United States and South
Vietnam immediately branded
the offer as a propaganda gesture
and completely unacceptablle.
North Vietnam and the Viet
Cong in turn rejected Porter's
proposal to place the entire con-
ference under a wrap of secrecy
in the hope of making progress
toward a settlement away from
the glare of publicity.
The fruitless exchange marked
Porter's first appearance at the
talks. He arrived in Paris on Aug.
30. Following rejection of each
side's proposal by the other, the
delegations agreed to meet again
next Thursday as usual.
Opening the 128th session of
talks, Porter urged Hanoi and the
Viet Cong to consider his arrival
as "an opportunity to make some
progress toward a peaceful set-
tlement." He revived a proposal
made by his predecessor, David i
K. E. Bruce, for secret sessions
where all four delegations could
'present their views, respond to
adverzary views and find areas of
compromnise."
Hanoi's chief negotiator, Xuan
Thuy, shook hands with Porter to
welcome him to the talks, but
flatly rejected his proposal for
secret sessions.
"We had previously rejected
this proposal and thought it had
left the conference table at the!
same time as its author, Mr.
Bruce," Thuy said. Thuy's spokes-
man, Nguyen Thanh Le, said
Porter's suggestion was a maneu-
ver designed to avoid replying to
the seven - point plan. The plan,
submitted July 1, called for a to-
;al and unconditional American
withdrawal and a simultaneous
release of prisoners held by both,
sides.
PENTAGON PAPERS
Sen. Gravel may face charges
Since the plan was presented,
the United States has repeatedly
asked the Communist delegations
for clarificatio,n but has never
received a reply.
"We have given all the expla-
nationsethat are necessary," act-
ing Viet Cong delegate Dinh Ba
Thi told the meeting.
"But if the United States real-
ly needs further explanation, we
are disposed to meet with the
WASHINGTON (P)-The Jus-
tice Department, raising the
possibility of a sharp constitu-
tional clash, says Sen. Mike
Gravel could be open to prose-
cution because of his disclosure
of the ePntagon papers last
June.
Terming a midnight hearing
convened by the Alaska Demo-
crat "special, unauthorized and
untimely," the department said:
"Not being engaged in offi-
cial subcommittee business, his
actions cannot be above scru-
tiny by those charged to en-
force the criminal statutes."
The department commented in
a brief filed Wednesday in U.S.
District Court in Boston to sup-
port arguments that a federal
grand jury has the right to
question a Gravel aide, Dr. Leo-
nard Rodberg.
The brief did not indicate the
department would seek to sub-
poena Gravel, too, in what is
believed to be an investigation
of how the secret study of the
Vietnam war was leaked to
newspapers and to the senator.
But it argued the federal
grand jury has the right to call
the senator and added that if
it does, Gravel could refuse to
incriminate himself by taking
the 5th Amendment.
A Gravel aide told newsmen
an attempt to subpoena a sen-
ator, constitutionally immune
from legal action while perform-
ing legitimate legislative busi-
ness, probably would require
Senate approval and almost cer-
tainly touch off a major clash
with the executive branch. The
aide argued the same right of
immunity exists to congression-
al aides.
Gravel, meanwhile, in prepar-
ation fo ra third hearing on
the Rodberg subpoena schedul-
ed in Boston Friday, wrote his
colleagues that "what is at
stake is the independence of
the Senate and our entire sys-
tem of constitutional govern-
ment.
"If the executive branch may
with the cooperation of the fed-
eral courts order our staff as-
sistants to testify before feder-
al grand juries about our
sources of information," he
wrote, "we would obviously be
open to harassment and subject
to new constraints."
Rodberg, a former physics pro-
fessor who has done work for
several Senate war critics, join-
ed Gravel's staff the night the
Senator read the Pentagon pa-
pers at an emotional four-hour
meeting of his subcommittee on
the Capitol grounds.
Gravel has never said where
he obtained his copy of the
study. Rodberg is associated
with the Institute for Political
Studies in Washington, a think-
tank which has worked closely
with war critics. Some of its
members had access to the Pen-
tagon papers at one time.

Since the talks first began
three years ago, Hanoi has sought
to bring the United States into
direct negotiations with. the Viet
Cong - excluding any represent-
ative of the Saigon government.
ogar told newsmen Thi's latest
proposal was "a maneuver for
purposes of propaganda and to
block progress here in Paris."
