A statement by the board of directors of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce questioned the responsibility of groups who continue to oppose plans for the highway.

Bry-denthal sponsored the resolution that authorized the hearing, to be held tonight at 7:30, in the City-County Building Assembly Room. BRYDENTHAL SAID the council could pass a "strong" resolution which would force the State Highway Department to consider altering plans for the loop highway, but Council President Joseph C. Wallace said no resolution can be passed tonight because the session will not be a legal meeting of the council.

Opponents of the approved design say it will work a hardship on persons living along the rights of way because of relocation 'of their homes and the building of a "Chinese wall" through their neighborhoods." However, Roy C. Echols, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, stressed that there have been 19 public hearings since 1957, and added: "THIS WHOLE problem has been investigated, discussed and decided. The plans have been formed, the formal hearings have been held, a decision has been made. "Now is the time for action." Governor Roger D. Branigin said, "I feel I must take the advice of the experts." He added that he does not think the proposal should be given further reconsideration.

REPRESENTATIVES of groups opposing the route and those wanting the entire highway depressed (below grade) are expected to attend tonight's meeting. More than 50 public officials have been invited to attend. The recently formed Livable Indianapolis for Everyone Inc.

United States Representative Andrew Jacobs Jr. (D-Ind.) recently agreed with opponents to the current design of the highway and asked that the new highway be built below the surrounding grade level. MAYOR JOHN J. Barton will not attend the meeting.

He also refused to send anyone in his place. "I don't think I need anyone to speak for me," he said. "I have made myself clear on the matter."

New York Times News Service Saigon, South Viet Nam (Monday) An American battalion of paratroopers, flown yesterday to an air strip 20 miles south of Dong Xoai, was awaiting orders this morning that may send it into the biggest battle of the Vietnamese war. The airborne unit, normally stationed at Vung Tau, was believed to number about 800 men.

The troops were flown yesterday afternoon to the Phouc Vinh airfield 40 miles north of Saigon. A United States military spokesman said the men spent an uneventful night near the airstrip. "They were not committed to action and they were not attacked," he said. IF THE PARATROOPERS are committed, their use will mark the first time American ground troops have been sent into direct combat against Communist forces since the Korean War. The troop movement came after the Viet Cong had torn through another government battalion Saturday at Dong Xoai.

The Communist troops are making their most strenuous attempt there to take and hold a district capital. Five Vietnamese battalions, each ranging in strength from 300 to 500 men, have been put out of action by Communist troops within the last two weeks at Quang Ngai, Phu Bon and Dong Xoai. The equivalent of another battalion of paramilitary forces has also been lost to the government at Dong Xoai. Informed estimates, not yet confirmed, show 900 government soldiers killed or miss ing trom tne rour-aay name around Dong Xoai, in Phuoc Long province. The losses are the worst ever suffered by government troops in a single action.

According to information from the site last night, government forces have withdrawn to the town, where they are boxed in by Com munist troops. The fighting today was described as little more than light sniping by the Viet Cong. Elements of two more Vietnamese battalions have been sent to the north and south of the town but have not yet engaged the Communist forces. THE LATEST Vietnamese battalion to be ambushed was also a paratrooper unit, the Seventh Airborne. Its troops were caught by the Viet Cong while searching for survivors from a government infantry battalion of 276 men that was almost annihilated last Thursday.

Ralph E. McGill, speaking at commencement exercises in Clowes Memorial Hall, said the majority of good people, by remaining aloof as they have in the civil rights struggle in too many communities, make room for the minority groups, "the commies and the extremists, the fomenters of riots who do not believe in popular government." HE TOOK ISSUE with those who say that Communism is behind racial unrest in this country. "The civil rights movement," he said, "is not Communist directed or "It has been the failure of the 'good people'," he added, "to take action against human suffering and open injustice that invited and made possible participation of the radical left." BUT HE SAID the response at Selma, was "a tremendous moral demonstration of American principles because there were good citizens, ministers, priests, gentle-faced nuns with conviction all there as witnesses to moral truth and moral force in this country." Dr. Stephen England, president of the International Convention of Christian Churches, told the graduating class during the baccalaureate program U.S. 41 the two Chicago men, who are 19 and 22 years old, because they have no previous arrests.
