4' "Aer-icon Prm- Puzzle U.S. Diplomats By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. officials" today welcomed the Soviet Union's favorable response' to President Johnson's call for top-level visits and contacts between the two countries. They were less certain, however, about what to make of the Soviet Union's unexpected intervention in war-lorn Southeast Asia except that it will probably raise new problems for both the United Slates and Red China.

The two apparently unrelated developments, announced in Moscow Sunday, led Washington authorities to conclude that the new regime in Moscow has now made some basic foreign policy decisions and is reedy to initiate action. The response lo Johnson's initiative, which the President made in his State of the Union message a month ago, took the format of a commentary in the Communist party paper Pravda, which U.S. loaders were sure was officially inspired. The comment declared that Johnson's proposal for visits and for increased contacts between U.S. and Soviet officials Thousands oi Visitors View Churchill's Grove BLADON, England (AP) Sir Winston Churchill's grave, a small rectangular plot heaped with wreaths of flowers in a quiet, country churchyard, is attracting thousands of visitors.

Police estimated that more than 125,000 persons filed past the spot in Bladon Sunday where the great statesman was laid to Saturday. Wrapped in coats, blankets and ski suits, the mourners paused at the graveside at St. Martin's church to read messages on the wreaths. Many wept "To my darling Winston Clemmie," read one of the wreaths," from Lady Churchill, whom he often referred to as "my darling Clementine." "For our beloved grandpa, from his loving grandchildren, Nicholas, Emma, Jeremy, Charlotte and Rupert," said another. Bladon, a hamlet of 413 persons in Oxfordshire, had been content to remain in obscurity for centuries.

Sunday the crowds streamed into the tiny churchyard, their autos jamming the church's tiny parking lot. Police officers directed the overflow to a field a half mile down the road. "This sort of thing is going to happen, possibly not on the same scale, at weekends and holidays from now on," said a Bladon official. In Melbourne. Australia, Prime Minister Robert Menzies announced plans to raise $2.24 million for a Churchill memorial trust fund for scholarships.

"We think that there ought to be established, not only here but in other countries and in the United Slates, a system of Winston Churchill scholarships or fellowships," he said. had "met with a positive response in the Soviet Union." Informants here said there had been some advance word to the United States that a favorable, informal reply would be forthcoming. They called the Pravda commentary encouraging and speculated that diplomats of the two countries would soon begin exploratory talks about top-level visits. Johnson had said he would like the new Kremlin leaders to come to this country and speak to the American people on television. He made clear that he would welcome a reciprocal invitation to visit the Soviet Union and appear on Soviet television.

A few hours before the Pravda article was published the Tass news agency disclosed that Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosy- gin would head a high-powered delegation of Soviet military, aviation and economic experts on a visit to North Viet Nam. This seems to mean, that Kosygin and Soviet Communist party secretary Leonid I. Bre- zhnev, who replaced Premier Khrushchev last October, have to abandon Khru- hands-off policy in decided shchev's Southeast Asia and try to play a vigorous role in the politics of conflict in that part of the world. Washington authorities doubted that the two separate announcements were merely coincidental.

They were inclined to think Soviet leaders were trying to indicate to Washington that any Russian move to intervene in Southeast Asia was not intended to strain relations between Washington and Moscow.

cymakers here that the Soviet Union does not stand to profit by expanding war between North and South Viet Nam or between North Viet Nam and Laos. There was some expectation that Kosygin probably would undertake to make a strong agreement of aid and support for Communist North Viet Nam but that this agreement would be essentially defensive in nature and might even lead eventually to some brake on North Vietnamese aggression in Laos and South Viet Nam. One result of the new Soviet moves was considered here to be reasonably predictable: a deeper wedge between the Soviet Union and Red China.

DIst. Judge E. Gordon West scheduled hearings today for Negroes seeking to end racial bars at the last two all-white state colleges in Louisiana. Separate suits were filed against Northwestern State at Natchitoches and Louisiana Tech at Ruslon. Each suit sought an injunction to end racial discrimination.

The defendants were the state Board of Education; its president, W. E. Whetstone of Monroe; Education Supt. William J. Dodd, and the two college presidents.

James E. Potts, 18-year-old Qui man Negro, seeks to enter Louisiana Tech. He filed suit earlier In Shreveport federal court, but U.S. Dist. Judge Ben Dawkins Jr.

ruled his court was the wrong one. Attorneys for Potts, a freshman at Grambllng College, filed the suit here.

A number of top U.S. musicians, including pianist Van Cliburn, violinist Isaac Stern and singers Jerome Hines and Mary Costa, as well as the Cleveland Symphony orchestra and the Julliard Quartet, will visit the Soviet Union.

In return, the Soviets are sending the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, the Moiseyev dancers, pianist Svyatoslav Richter and violinist Igor Oistrakh.
