7) Viet Nam Aid Viewed Vital By President WASHINGTON A reduction of U.S. financial aid to South Viet Nam might bring about collapse of that nation and open the gates to a Communist takeover in Southeast Asia, President Kennedy said Monday night. The President said in a television-radio Interview that he subscribes to the so-called "Domino Theory" concerning Viet Nam and southeast Asia. "China is so large, looms so high just beyond the frontiers, that if South Viet Nam went, it would not only give them an improved geographic position for a guerrilla assault on Malaya, but would also give them impression that the wave of the future in Southeast Asia was China and the Communists," Kennedy said. The President's views came as an indirect answer to mounting (Continued on Page 5, Col.

Edwards at 9 p.m. sent the child to the home By FRANK WITTY Palm Beach Post Staff A federal aid grant offer of $86,950 for resurfacing one of Palm Beach Interna tional Airports major runways officially was re ceived by county commiS' sioners Monday.

But commissioners balked at adopting a resolution accepting the grant until they can get a letter from the Federal Aviation Agency spelling out certain "terms and conditions" of the grant, which will pay for half the cost of resurfacing the northwest- southeast runway. These are certain terms and conditions read to board members by commission attorney Harry Johnston Monday: There can be no discrimination as to race or religion in use of the facilities of the airport. The commission cannot grant or permit any exclusive Iran chises in any phase of "aeronauti cal activity." There must be "clear zones" 2,000 feet long beginning 200 feet from the end of each runway. All hazardous "growth, struc tures or objects" must be removed from land at the end of each runway. Commissioners wondered If Morrison Homes, at the southeast corner of Congress Avenue and Southern Boulevard, would meet height restrictions for "clear lones." But a county engineer explained that the end of the 2,000 required feet of clear zone falls approxt mately in the middle of the Morrison Homes area, and at that point the maximum height of buildings would be 50 feet, some what higher than the existing structures.

Commissioners are expected to adopt a resolution accepting the grant offer at their Sept. 23 meeting. Deadline for acceptance is the end of this month. At the same time, commissioners probably will award a con tract for doing the job. Apparent low bidder is Rubin Construction Co.

with a bid of $154,950. That's the next step after accepting the grant offer, as copies of the executed contract must be forwarded to the FAA, which issues the work order. But final payment on the federal grant will be held up until the county's master plan for the airport is completed. That includes final decision on a location of the terminal building and plans for taxiway construction. County engineers explained, (Continued on Page 2, Col.

During an engineering report at the regular meeting, Lytal claimed the road department is holding up projects included in the county's $15 million road bond issue. He said the county engineer department work Is progressing smoothly, and on schedule or ahead of schedule, but the state agency still is working on preliminary stages as their part of the costly program.

George C. Wallace to allow integration of Alabama public schools to proceed, White House sources disclosed Monday night.

er, Kennedy said, local authorities repeatedly stated they were prepared to carry out desegregation directives of federal courts and maintain public peace. But, Kennedy said, Gov. Wallace refused to respect either the law or the authority of local officials. "For his own personal and political reasons so that he may later charge federal interference he Is desperately anxious to have the federal government Intervene in a situation In which we have no desire to intervene," Kennedy said.

George Wallace kept Negroes out of white schools in three Alabama cities Monday, and promptly encoun tered court retaliation and talk of possible intervention by President Kennedy. Wallace sent helmeted state troopers to five schools ordered integrated in Birmingham, Mobile and Tuskegee, and kept Negroes out while permitting white students to go to class on schedule. But at a fourth major city, Huntsville, the governor stood aside and, without explanation, allowed three schools to inte grate.

Edwards explained that now when David's family is located court action will be necessary before the child will be released into their custody. They must explain where they have been, and the lapse of time before they came to claim the boy. David is described as neatly clotlied and clean.

WASHINGTON (UPD The atP nnpned historic debate on the nuclear test ban treaty Monday with Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen backing President Kennedy and playing an increasingly bigger role in the drive for ratification. At Dirksen's request the President agreed to send the Senate a letter in the next few days reassuring Congress that the treaty would not halt U.S.

plans for atoniio projects under the pact which bans all but underground tests. Dirksen, who announced after a White House conference that he would vote for ratification, will read the President's letter to the Senate when he delivers a treaty speech later this week. At the same time, Dirksen dis- the signatures on the petition, as well, have no jurisdiction to determine validity of the petition itself, Herring noted. "The charges are a political matter tor the voters to be determined by the people," Herring said. The city attorney specifically said that Eassa was not bound to rule a signature illegal if the residence given on the petition was different from the residence recorded on the voter's registration card, nor could he determine forgery of a signature.

"This is not the place to deal with those questions," said Herring, staving off any challenge from a commissioner or from members of the audience. Commissioner Williams last week had said that he would insist on being allowed to vote on the petition. He remained silent, however, at Monday's meeting. The commission did not vote on receiving the petition, but merely accepted it as Herring said the city charter requires it, to do. In representing the petition.

Eassa certified that 1,444 signatures were affixed to the petition, and that of these, 1,385 were valid signatures of voters registered In the city. A total 1,379 signatures of registered voters, or 5 per cent of the registered voters, were necessary to make the petition a legal document, Eassa said.

Gold- water would hold up the treaty until the Soviet Union removed all troops and weapons from Cuba with verification by inspec tion.

Dirksen, unable to "go along with Barry's proposal," said it would be "almost like saying: 'We can't deal with Castro, we'll get Uncle Nikita (Khrushchev) to tell him to be a good boy." The Senate debate, expected to wind up with ratification next week, got underway with Sen, J. William Fulbright, presenting the opening case for the administration. He was followed by Sen. Leverett Saltons-tall, another treaty backer. Shortly before the Senate ses sion, the Senate preparedness sub committee issued a report highly critical of the pact.

It said the test ban would hinder U.S. weap ons development and create "seri ous and perhaps lormidaDle military disadvantages for the United States. The report was approved on a 6-1 vote with Saltonstall the dis senter. He and Sen. Stuart Symington, who voted to send the report to the Senate but also said he would vote for treaty ratification, called the majority report too pessimistic.

Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told the Senate the pact was "both safe and wise."
