Protest marches, rallies and "silent vigils," some with racial overtones, have been planned. In Washington, a "silent vigil" has been scheduled for two hours today outside the church in which the President's daughter Lucl will marry Pat Nugent. A SPOKESMAN for the Stu dent Non-Violent Coordinating Committee which is sponsoring the church vigil, said a telegram from Negro leaders Martin Lu ther King, Roy Wilkins, Whit ney Young and A. Phillip Randolph asking that the Washing ton demonstration not be held, had been rejected. Another "silent vigil" will be held at United Nations Plaza by the American Friends Service Committee, which will present to U.N.

Secretary Gen eral U. Thant an appeal for help in ending the war in Viet Nam. In Boston, state officials were on guard against possible vio lence at an anti-Viet Nam de monstration today in predominantly Negro Roxbury. Maj. Gen.

Joseph Ambrose, state adjutant general, said 3,000 National Guardsmen will be "ready for anything that might happen." Atty. Gen. Edward W. Brooks, a Negro conferred earlier this week with law enforcement officials concerning a report that guns were being smuggled into Roxbury. Roxbury Negro Leaders denied the report.

The archbishop said he had been "appalled to see scorn and ridicule" heaped upon the President who, he said, had been "patient and persevering in the pursuit of peace." He also deplored "the kind of criticism which portrays the United States as some sort of bully." However, there will be plenty of that kind of criticism ex-pressed in New York today, according to plans announced. Some of it will be demonstrated in the Rockefeller Center area near the cardinal's cathedral, at peace advocates march in protest past the office of Dow Chemical a major supplier of napalm for the war. Three rehearsed "dramatizations" of the horrors of napalm, of Hiroshima and of the threat of the draft will be presented in the streets of New York by groups marching to Times Square for anti-Viet Nam war rally at 12:30 p.m.

MOST OF THE demonstrations marking the Hiroshima an-niverasry across the. country were arranged under the aegis of the National Coordinating Committee to End the War In Viet Nam (N.C.C.), a clearing house maintained at Madison, for the anti-war groups.

He said, however, that this country would cooperate in transportation or in any other way that would help "to clear out" the zone.

Rusk also made these points: This country considers "con structive" and will follow with great interest a proposal by Thailand for an all-Asian con ference designed to secure peace in Viet Nam. HE HOPES different regions and tribes of Nigeria can find a solution to their problems that will maintain "the integrity" of the nation, Africa's most pop ulous (the country has a popu lation of 50 million and recent coups and tensions have led to fear the country might frag ment.) Free world shipping into Haiphong has fallen off sharply as a result of bomb strikes. There was only one ship last month, five the month before. This country has not warned free world shipping in a formal way of possible dangers there, though it has urged this ship ping to stay out. 1 He said the country is working daily on an arrangement to solve the problem of U.S.

prisoners in North Viet Nam. He said discussing this in detail might hinder these efforts. He noted the President had said the nation would attend a meeting on the subject, but added that "no response" has come from the other side. Indonesia is moving toward the position of a non-aligned country. This country has made! emergency allocations of ricej and cotton to the potentially! very wealthy nation and would, like to have "constructive" relations with Indonesia.

"ACCORDING to the Geneva Treaty of 1954, a demilitarized strip of up to five kilometers, roughly three miles, was to be set up on each side of the 17th parallel, which divides North and South Viet Nam.

Pat's wife and the elder Whitman's parents also sat in the reserved pews. Beyond the caskets, six orange candles cast their flickering glow on a huge mosaic behind the altar. AT THE FRONT door of the church, Father Anglim met the caskets and accompanied them to the sanctuary, that section of the church beyond the altar rail.

"Absolve, Lord, the souls of all the faithful departed from every bond of sin and by the help of Your grace may they deserve to escape the judgment of vengeance. And to enjoy the blessedness of light eternal," ran the prayer. After the mass was concluded, a 40-car motorcade accompanied the caskets to Hillcrest Memorial Park in adjacent West Palm Beach. There, canopied against a blazing sun, Charles Whitman and his mother were buried. Whitman's wife was buried Wednesday near her Need-ville, home.

No Quitting War: Nixon SAIGON (UPI) Former vice president Richard M. Nixon said the Communists are making a "very dangerous assumption" if they think the United States will run out of patience and quit the war in Viet Nam. In fact, he said, the only change in U.S. policy that the American people would favor would be toward a "stronger policy." Nixon's comments came at a news conference at Saigon's Tah Son Nhut airfield on his arrival from Bangkok for a three-day series of briefings by U.S. embassy experts and high-ranking American military officers.

The visit was his second in less than a year. NIXON said by a "stronger policy" he did not mean "to gravely escalate" the war to destroy North Viet Nam or to destroy Communist China." "But if North Viet Nam continues to be the aggressors we must use our military power, in cluding air power, against North Viet Nam, Nixon said. He added that he thought the American people would support "stronger measures against North Viet Nam." However, he said that while he did not want to criticize prime minister Nguyen Cao Ky, he did not agree with the lat- ter's prediction that an invasion of Communist North Viet Nam was the only way to brinir a quick end to the war.

Parts of two notes the deranged ex-Marine composed just before and just after he killed his wife and mother Monday were acquired by the Associated Press yesterday. 1 WHITMAN'S carnage, most of it inflicted by his accurate rifle fire from the observation deck above the 27th floor of the University of Texas tower, also left 31 persons wounded, two of them critically.

Various passages of the two notes were not released by authorities. These portions are said to contain abusive statements about persons still living, including his father. "I'VE DECIDED to kill Kathy (Kathleen Leissner Whitman, his wife) I love her very much," read a typewritten note found beside the body of his wife. "I intend to kill my wife after I pick her up from work. (She got off work from the telephone company at 9:30 p.m.) I don't want her to have to face' the embarrassment that my actions will surely cause her." The two-page note began: "I don't quite understand what is compelling me to type this note.

"I'VE BEEN TO a psychia trist. I ve been having fears and violent impulses. I've had some tremendous headaches in the past." The other note was found at his mother's plush apartment. Neatly hand-printed, it began: "To whom it may concern "I have just killed my mother. If there's a heaven she is going ithere.

If there's not a heaven, jshe is out of her pain and ill itri y. THE NOTE then read: "I love my mother with all my neart, and launcned into an attack on Whitman's father.

Both IT WAS EIGHT hours later that he carried an arsenal of guns to the university tower and began the second portion of his massacre.

The grand jury report on the case released Friday called Whitman a "crazy, deranged man. The jury had withheld the notes from the public, It said, because they "contained unverified statements of an insane killer concerning an innocent individual." The grand jury also said the pecan-sized tumor found in Whitman's brain "undoubtedly caused him much mental pain and possibly contributed to his insane actions." Dr. Coleman de Chenar, the pathologist who performed the autopsy on Whitman's bullet-shattered body, said Thursday that the benign tumor "could not have had any influence on the psychic behavior." The pathologist did not testify before the grand jury, which ruled that the police killing of Whitman was justifiable homicide. There have been predictions from some psychiatrists and at ileast one novelist that the Aus-itin massacre would touch off other violence in a chain-reaction of killings. 1 LATE THURSDAY night, a 15-year-old youth was taken into custody as a suspect in the shooting death earlier that day of the town nightwatchman of Roscoe, in West Texas.

Law enforcement authorities said the youth admitted having killed Lewis Snyder, the 65-year- old watchman, and quoted him further: "I've been thinking about why I did it. "I wanted to have fun like the guys in Chicago (the slaying of eight student nurses) and Austin who had fun killing people."

The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies todav. tonight and tomorrow with little change in temperatures.

The low tonight will be in the 60s, high tomorrow in the upper 80s. The high yesterday was 87 following an overnight low of 65. 7:30 P.M. WEST NASHVILLE YOU Are CLOSE To A Warm Friendly NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH PARK AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH 44th and PARK.

AVE. (1 Block off Charlotte Ave.) LAKE WORTH, Fla. (JP) Mass murderer Charles J. Whitman and the first of his 15 victims his mother were buried yesterday in a single religious service that included their pastor's prayer for their escape from "the judgment of vengeance." And the Rev. Thomas An-glim, the family priest, said he trusted God would not hold Whitman responsible and that the nation "will not judge his actions too harshly." Whitman, 25, stabbed and shot his mother to death Monday and fatally knifed his wife.

Then he climbed to the. observation level above th 27th floor of the University Texas tower in Austin an shot 13 persons to death. Ke wounded 31 others before authorities shot and killed him. AT THE funeral mass at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Father Anglim told 400 spectators, Including Whitman's father, C. A.

Whitman that for the most of his life the so-called campus sniper had "lived a good, honest and sincere life, striving to help others and to better himself. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. A Smile, Hello And 2 Lives Are Spared AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) Sniper-slayer Charles J. Whitman spared the lives of a young couple In the University of Texas tower and cave them a sunny smile minutes after he had shot one of his 15 victims, It was revealed "I don't know why he didn't kill us I guess I will never know," said Cheryl Botts, 18, of Rockdale, Tex: Miss Botts and Don Walden, 22, of San Antonio, were in the 27-story tower sightseeing Monday.

They stepped off the observation deck, which Whitman minutes later wbs to make his sniper's lair, into the recep tionists station. THE receptionist was not there, the young couple said, but a blond man was, bending over a couch at one side of the room, There was. a spot on the floor near the desk and walden stepped around it when Miss Botts told him about it. The blond man turned. "We smiled and said, 'Hello," Miss Botts said, "and he smiled real big and said, 'Hi, how are you? The blond man had two rifles, which Walden thought he might ask about Then he decided they were for shooting pigeons.

The couple went past a chair that blocked the way and headed down the stairs toward the elevator landing below. WHEN THEY emerged at the tower's ground floor they discovered the pleasant young man who had greeted them with a smile and two rifles at the top was shooting person after per son from the tower. They ran to a nearby building until it was over. The stain Miss Botts and Walden saw was blood. The couch over which the young man upstairs in the tower had bent was a hiding place for dying receptionist, Edna Town-sley.

The University of Texas campus newspaper. The Summer Texan, said yesterday the tower should be closed. "THE UNIVERSITY tower, for many, has stood as a symbol of learning. The tower now conjures up new images of death and horror," The Texan said. "Perhaps in several years, after memories of the massacre have dimmed and faded, the observation deck can be reopened occasionally and with new safety precautions.

But the steel industry found an ally in Republican congressional leaders for the $2 and $3 a ton increases announced by virtually the entire Industry on steel strip and sheet, the type used in automobiles and other consumer goods. "I don't see how you can es cape a price increase if the cost sheets show they (the companies) are losing," said Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois.

"It is es sential for the country that you have a vital, vibrant steel in dustry." He and House Republican leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan said at a news conference the administration's wage-price guidelines are dead because of inflation. ALTHOUGH the Industry ap peared to have won its battle against administration efforts trust that God in His mercy does not hold him responsible for these last actions. We trust too that our nation, with its tradition for fairness and justice, will not judge his actions too harshly." Before the services began. Lake Worth police cleared the church for a pew-by-pew search to make sure that "no bombs or cranks" would disturb the funeral mass.

They also inspected the sanctuary for "any strange articles." Lt. Dan Majewski said the search was ordered by Police Chief Henry Hall as a precau-ion against "any cranks mak-'nir a demonstration when funeral services begin." AND WHEN spectators began trickling into the church, police asked those with packages to leave them outside. Persons with cameras were not allowed inside. Two confessionals at the back of the church were opened by plainclothes detectives to make sure no one was hiding in them. Ten pews were reserved for the family.

Sitting with the weeping father, a prosperous to hold the price line, the White House declined to throw in the towel. Asked about reports that President Johnson wouldn't seek a roll back, Bill D. Moyers, White House press secretary, referred newsmen to a statement he made Thursday when he was asked If the case is closed. "I don't want to make any conclusions of that kind," Moyers said then and yesterday he said the statement still stands. There was no hint of any dramatic moves and the administration apparently intends to concentrate on persuasion and public opinion in any further attempts to counter the industry move.

IT LACKS, however, one of the major tools used in 1962 and early this year to force a roll back in steel prices the threat to shift defense and other government contracts to producers which held the price line. The government buys little sheet and strip steel directly although this comprises about 30 per cent of the industry's output. It's mainly used in the consumer market for such items as automobiles, refrigerators, clothes dryers and other durable goods. And even if it could switch contracts, the government would have no place to turn since the industry is united in its price increases. The remaining minor producers which haven't announced increases as yet are expected to do so.

The companies have termed the increases modest and inconsequential but the administration calls them irresponsible and inflationary. LAST JANUARY, the administration threatened to cut back purchases of structural steel from Bethlehem Steel if lt refused to rescind a $5-a-ton price increase. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara actually ordered defense procurement officials to shift orders to companies which hadn't raised prices but Bethlehem backed down when U.S. Steel under administration pressure announced only a $2.74 increase.

In that battle only In land Steel joined Bethlehem in announcing a $5-a-ton increase. And in April 1962 the Defense Department announced that In line with its policy of buying, steel from companies which held prices firm it had ordered 11,000 tons of steel for three Polaris submarines from Lukens Steel Co. of Coatesville, Pa. 1 BOB MOWREY, Pastor Sunday School 9:30 A.M.
