Kennedy called "the last outpost" in the resistance against communism. It was a hard-wrought decision that came only after months of agonized appraisal of the deteriorating Southeast Asian situation. It followed weeks of high-level missions to the South Vietnam scene, an extraordinary conference of the nation's top military and diplomatic leaders in Hawaii, and a period of flirting with the deceptively easier alternatives. Resistance Weak, Pressure Great It came as the military and political resistance of both Laos and South Vietnam was perilously weak; Communist pressures were increasing, and continued experimentation and hesitation by the United States clearly would not do. It also came on the eve of a political campaign in which the Administration would be called on to defend its Asian policy.

To most Americans the war in South Vietnam is something worse than ugly, painful, and expensive it is frustrating. Americans ask themselves and their leaders: Why are we in this war? Why don't we get it over with, or get out? The American is impatient for showdown and decision. The spectacle of the United States bogged down in a tiny war in a far-off, By JACK SMITH L.A. Tim-Withlnften Pest Strvlc A strange quiet fell last week in the disputed fields, forests, and villages of Laos and South Vietnam. Momentarily the war was still.

Times correspondent Donald Neff radioed from Vientiane: "Both sides seem to be doing some deep soul-searching about their aims, and about what reaction the pursuit of those aims will cause." Certainly there was deep soul-searching in Washington, where the Johnson Administration's euphoria was dampened by the gloom over Southeast Asia. In recent weeks the United States had looked down four hard roads for a possible solution. It found them all forbidding. But, for the time being at least, the nation apparently had made Us decision: The United States will stay in Southeast Asia. The war against the Communist Viet Cong in South Vietnam will be pressed harder, with more men, arms, and money.

More Support Due Laos More support perhaps ground forces will be sent to shore up the shaky Laos Government against the Communist Pathet Lao. But the boundary of American intervention will remain at the 17th Parallel the United States will not carry the war across the line into North Vietnam, although that possibility will be kept open. It was not a choice that offered much satisfaction, but the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon evidently found "THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE LEFT THE U.S. IS Asia is to preserve the independence and restore the peace of South Vietnam and Laos, and to prevent the southward spread of Red Chinese influence and dominion. President Lyndon B.

Johnson enunciated this aim quite clearly last March in a televised interview when he said: "Now, we have had the problem (Vietnam) for a long time. We are going to have it for some time in the future, we can see, but we are patient people, and we love freedom, and we want to help others to preserve it, and we are going to try to evolve the most effective and Col. 3, Page 12, This Section backward land is a national embarrassment. And deeper than embarrassment lies doubt moral doubt that our involvement in Southeast Asia is right; that our goal is clear, that our conduct is effective. Gradually Americans have come to accept the truth that the war in Vietnam and Laos will not simply go away.

It may vanish for a day in the glare of other excitements, such as a presidential primary or an Indianapolis 500. But it comes back, inexorably, in hard headlines of ambush, night raids, train wrecks, hand grenades in the streets, and in the lonely and unaccountable deaths of American soldiers.

Goldwater Fans Interrupt A crowd of thousands in steamy Boston Arena roared approval. The champions of Senator Barry Goldwater interrupted with their chant, "We want Barry," until Senator Le- verett Saltonstall's gavel and admonition silenced them. The Goldwater fans were vastly outnumbered, as Scranton spoke to the Massachusetts Republican Convention.

The crowd also responded to Scranton's gibes at President Lyndon B. Johnson for his "Monday foreign policy, Tuesday foreign policy, Wednesday foreign policy," and so on. Johnson "has failed to produce a single good idea or successful strategy" since taking office, Scranton said. President John F. Kennedy, he said, adapted to modern needs the grand design of another century and made the North Atlantic Treaty Organization its cornerstone.

A white integrationist was mauled, a Negro girl nose was broken, and a Negro woman received a head wound in the battle at the beach. Last night, after Bryant issued an order banning demonstrations after dark, 86 Negroes decided to march anyway. They said that they had not been officially notified of Bryant's order, and that it violated a federal injunction. They got seven blocks before they met an army of policemen. The officers stood in four lines across the street, and one line held dogs on leashes.

Negroes Turn Back An officer read Bryant's order. The Negroes some of whom were among those beaten at the beach protested, then turned around and went home. There were no incidents. Violence broke out for the first time yesterday at the County beach, where twice be- fore integrationists had played without incident.

But he talked about a dozen of them into stepping to the edge of the water.

A segregationist rushed through the police line and fell upon the white integrationist. No sooner had police dragged him off and arrested both men than about 35 whites broke through the lines.

They described this as another step in American efforts to deter further Red incursions. Five shiploads of equipment including tanks, trucks, personnel carriers, and ammunitionare on the way to the strategic pro-Western nation, which borders on war-torn Laos. The first ship is expected to arrive this week, possibly tomorrow or Tuesday. The equipment will be added to iupplics left here by 5,000 American troops based in Thailand for several weeks in 1962 by order of President John F. Kennedy during a previous Communist threat in Laos.

Maintenance Troops Due There was no indication in Bangkok that U. S. troops, except those needed to handle and maintain the supplies, would be sent to Thailand at this time. The maintenance crew, said to number about 100, is reported to be from the Hawaii-based 25th Division. The story came out in Thailand's capital as U.

Billy Casper, the 1959 Open champ, slid into fourth place at 285 with 69-71 yesterday, and Gay Brewer tied Palmer for fifth at 286 with a 68 on his final round. Then came Bill Collins at 287, Dow Finsterwald at 288, and Bob Rosburg and Johnny Pott at 289.

Old Sam Snead wound up with a 75 and 299. And far back came tournament favorite Jack Nicklaus, whose putting touch faded in the sun and left him with 77-73295. Jacky Cupit, who finished second to Julius Boros in a three-way playoff with Palmer last year, had 75-76 yesterday for 297. Venturi started the day six shots back of Jacobs, who had tied the open record with a 64 Friday and led with a record 206 at- the end of the morning round. Tommy's 206 cracked the 1948 mark of 207 set by Hogan.

Venturi Rests For a time it was doubtful that Ken could tee off on his final round. At the intermission he was ordered to rest and skip lunch. He sipped iced tea and lemon and hoarded his strength for the long struggle ahead. Jacobs and Palmer both said -they "felt fine" after the torturous morning trial.
