Knight column, Page 3, Section 2.) FROM WIRE SERVICES New York A United States Court of Appeals judge extended yesterday a ban on the New York Times Vietnam series until noon tomorrow.

He acted after a district court judge denied a government request for an injunction. In continuing the lower court restraining order, appeals Judge Irving Kaufman said the final decision must be made by a panel of three judges. ll ti IhM l7 L.t Ll provided by the United States. (UPI A highlight of South Vietnam's Armed Forces Day Parade in Saigon yesterday was the phalanx of troops committed to Vietnamization of the Indo-China war "It is necessary that sitting as a single judge, do not by my sole action permit the case to become moot before other members of the court have had an opportunity to pass on the application or consider the issues raised," Kaufman said after a 12-minute open court session. THE TIMES had no immediate comment on Kaufman's ruling, but had said it would abide by the court's decision.

District Court Judge Murray I. Gur-fein, handling his first case since his appointment by President Nixon, had denied a preliminary injunction, but continued a temporary restraining order on an hour-to-hour basis to allow the government to appeal. Gurfein said the oocuments were of a historic nature and that the govern ment had failed to show that their pub lication would threaten the national se curity. The Times says in an editorial in today's editions: "District Judge Murray L. Gurfein's decision denying the government plea for a preliminary injunction to bar this newspaper from publishing articles about a secret Pentagon study of the Vietnam war marks a significant vie tory for press freedom in the United States and for the right of the Amerl can people to be informed about the operations of their government." The documents in question are from a secret Pentagon study of the origins of the Vietnam war.

The study was in! tiated in 1967 by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. The Times published last week three installments of articles based on the study Turn to Page 10, Column 1 Mi-Star ilaslivtball Indiana Ail-Stars defeat Kentucky All-Stars 115-99, in Hinkle Fieldhouse in Blind Fund benefit basketball game Details in sports section. Nixon's View: Times Editors Violated Law By BEN COLE Star Washington Bureau Washington President Nixon has told Senator Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.) that the New York Times clearly violated the law by printing top secret papers on the Vietnam war.

The private conversation took place last week when Goldwater visited the White House to report to the President on his visit to the Paris Air Show the first week in June. Goldwater says that as a layman he was uncertain about the legal ramifications in the controversy. But President Nixon who is a lawyer was emphatic on the point. THE ARIZONAN feels that if he were Attorney General John Mitchell he might consider settling the issue by prosecuting those responsible. The voluminous documents, which add up to saying United States involvement was being planned at the moment the government was disclaiming such plans, would seem to vindicate Senator Goldwater's 1964 political campaign.

Sitting behind his big desk in the Senate Office Building, the 1964 Republican nominee for President views the whole matter coolly. His reactions can be summarized this way: 1 He knew during the 1964 campaign that deepening involvement in Vietnam was coming; but if he had said so, nobody would have believed him. Publication now of the documents probably isn't as damaging to the Turn to Page 8, Column 4 No Injuries Or Arrests Reported Belfast, Northern Ireland (UPI) British troops opened fire with rubber riot-control bullets yesterday to drive back 400 Roman Catholics attempting to break up a Protestant Orange parade. The clash came as other army units held back a crowd of about 500 Protestants who broke away from the main body of the march and surged toward the Catholic Mayo Street area. NO INJURIES or arrests were reported in either incident, according to an army spokesman, who said the troops fired "a number of rounds" above the crowd.

In the wake of the parade several hundred Catholic youths ripped up paving stones in the Roman Catholic Springfield Road neighborhood and hurled them at army Land Rovers and troops. The youths shouted "up the IRA," the outlawed Irish Republican Army which seeks to unite Northern Ireland with the Irish Republic, and "Tommies, go home." The troops, helmet visors down and shields up, charged with flailing billy-clubs and firing rubber bullets. The youths scattered. FIRE BOMBERS set fire to a shoe store and a clothing store in downtown Belfast last night. The shoe store fire was quickly extinguished but the clothing store was heavily damaged.

Police appealed to store managers to check their stores for planted incendiaries. The Rev. Ian Paisley, a militant Protestant and a member of Britain's Parliament, led another march near Londonderry and told a crowd to defy any attempt by the authorities to take away their guns. "They are going to disarm law-abiding citizens so that when they make a deal with Dublin you and I will have no way to resist It," Paisley sam. AT BELFAST, more than J.000 banner-waving Protestants with bowler hats, white kid gloves, orange sashes and rolled umbrellas, the traditional Orange order regalia, marched in the parade commemorating the 17th Century victory of Protestant King William of Orange over the Catholic forces of King James II.

"Go home, you bums, go home," one group of Catholics shouted at the marchers from behind an army barrier. Several of the 30 Protestant clergymen accompanying the marchers ran up. "In the name of God don't be provoked," one urged. Aide Admits Nixon Tax-Cut Figure Wrong Key Blscayne, Fla. (AP)-The Florida White House acknowledged yesterday that President Nixon went a little too far in saying that passage of his revenue-sharing program by Congress could lead to a cut of about 30 per cent in property taxes.

Mr. Nixon used this as a major argument in prodding Congress to approve his plan when he addressed a gathering of newspaper, radio and television executives from northeastern states and the District of Columbia In Rochester, N.Y.,Friday. Press Secretary Ronald L. Zlegier told reporters under questioning that what the President Intended to say was that enactment of revenue sharing would ease the pressure for Increasing property taxes by about 30 per cent, rather than actually reducing them by that amount. Another way or putting It, he said, was that the amount of rcvenun the u'Milil nliaro with local governments on an average basis would ma I i iIim nirm.nrfn bo equal lO per mu ui increase In property tax Mr.

Saigon (AP) The first Armed Forces Day parade here since 1967 went off without incident yesterday but the noise of a night fireworks display sent Vietnamese ducking for cover, thinking the Viet Cong had struck as expected. The decorative fireworks that exploded high over this city of more than 2 million had been planned to punctuate the national holiday, but much of the population had not heard about it.

When the military began firing volley after volley of the multicolored fire works from mortar tubes outside the city, people either ran for cover or took to the streets to find out what had happened. GOVERNMENT intelligence officers had warned for days they expected the Viet Cong would try to disrupt the big parade, and the sound of huge ex plosions at first appeared to have proved them right. The fireworks display even fooled some South Vietnamese soldiers around Saigon. After they realized they were not under attack, they began celebrating ALKKADY A UNIVERSITY OF Mystic Lays Claim with weapons Radiophoto) by firing tracers into the air. One position sent up several red flares the usual signal for a unit under attack.

Fireworks, like parades, had been banned in Saigon since the enemy's 1968 Tet offensive, when infiltrators used the sound of lunar new year's day firecrackers to cover their opening attacks against the city. EARLIER several thousand South Vietnamese and allied troops marched through the center of the capital in a grand display of military might and government security. The most popular events were a fly-by of 111 Vietnamese air force helicopters, fighter-bombers and cargo planes, and a review of tanks and artillery. The Americans were represented by a color guard and a small collection of soldiers, sailors and airmen whose lack of military precision stood out in contrast to the razor-sharp Koreans, Australians and Vietnamese military cadets. PRESIDENT Nguyen Van Thieu and Turn to Page 8, Column 4 INDIANAPOLIS? Gunzolus' other big problem these days Is that Indiana University is trying to buy his ancient home, which sits on the eastern perimeter of their expansion program.

Gunzolus says this is "an attempt by one school to run another out of business. "I think it's terrible," he added. "There Is room for both our schools on the Westsldc, but if someone has to move, it should be I.U. I was here first." GUNZOLUS ADMITS that the schools he operates are not accredited, but he further states that means nothing. "I know Butler or Indiana Universities will not recognize my schools," (the Gunzolus School of Music, the Free World University, the Gunzolus Occult University or the University of Indianapolis) he said.

"But, the way I seo It, Jesus, Buddha and Plato would have had trouble getting accredited In Indiana today be-cause they didn't have enough teachers or alr-condltloned classrooms," That's the way Guiuolus sees It, but Hum he has been seeing things a bit differently from most folks his lite.

KEATING Charles H. Gunzolus, 77-year-old mystic, eccentric genius, seer, music teacher, Bible instructor and hypnotist, says that being a mystic In a modern world Isn't all a bed of tea leaves. To start with, local city officials and some members of the academic community are discussing the establishment of a University of Indianapolis. GUNZOLUS CONTENDS, with some crumpled, dog-cared papers to back him up, that there is already a University of Indianapolis and it is located in his bizarre living room at 515 Blake Street.

The University of Indianapolis, one of four schools Gunzolus personally op-crates In his home, is not accredited or recognized by anyone but himself. But, ho does have a charter for a school under that name and It was signed by Indiana Secretary of Slate William Salln on Feb. IB, MID. HE ALSO SAYS, very firmly 'in fact, that there will be no other University of Indianapolis, unless he Is reckoned with first.

Amen. By ROBERT B. SEMPLE JR. (C) New York Times News Service Key Biscaync, Fla. The White House asserted yesterday that one compelling reason for its vigorous legal action against the New York Times and the Washington Post was its belief that the government "cannot operate its foreign policy in the best interests of the American people if It cannot deal with foreign powers in a confidential way." Ronald L.

Ziegler, the White House press secretary, maintained his policy of refusing direct comment on the substance of articles and documents carried In the Times earlier this week and on other articles carried later by the Washington Post. All the articles were based on a secret Pentagon study of American Involvement in Vietnam. BUT IN one of his strongest runv ments nince the Justice iVpartment obtained temporary court orders forcing bolh papers to cease publishing the stories, Ziegler said that confidentiality "Is the very essence of the foreign policy prom" and that "a government must be able to deal with other governments In a confidential way." The presa Herniary No said that presidential ndvlwrs must not In-hiblltsl htiin milnnlllliiij "cantUI ptai'n'i" ut Im run M'cv iiiH" i' it tmntii'g tit? ho 'It ill Iiu iivi-iM i officials would be most reluctant to submit points of view if they thought the documents would be disclosed. In these and other remarks, Ziegler echoed comments made by Secretary of Stale William P. Rogers in a news conference last week, and by Herbert G.

Klein, director of communications for the administration, in a private "background" briefing for selected news columnists. According to an account of the briefing published yesterday in the New York Times the Times was not Invited to the session but learned of its contents Klein said the President was mainly concerned with discouraging officials opposed to the Vietnam War from giving other classified documents to the press. He was less concerned, Klein suggested, about the effect on national security of the Pentagon study itself, which deals with decisions made by previous administrations. Rogers cited the Inhibiting effects that he thought publication of top secret material might have on foreign governments dealing with the United States. ionvrs tiu cKu; IVr Hft li hp- if piplt If 1m i i i I.
