In sounding out the sentiment of the Senate on the Latin American resolution, Sol. M. Linowitz, the new United States ambassador to the Organization of American States, conferred with Fulbright and got a noncommittal response.

Linowitz, a business executive until recently, was said to have sensed the growing; politloa! embarrassment that the government parties feel over the continuation of the war. The Humphrey visit also left the Italian government a potentially embarrassing legacy. A young Italian, who threw a plastic bag of yellow paint at Humphrey at the opera, was worked over brutally by American secret service agents before being taken away. 3- fl 4 4 3 S- fl 8 a 4 0-0 1 0 0 fl- 6 0 1 0-0100 8-10 7 11 4 14 (iitrrln XI 4- 7 Hudson 7- SI Kilns 0- 1 TlKirn 10 1- 2 Torm'km 0- Wllkenn 45 4- 11 Team rob.

THE COST of recommissioning is estimated at $11,000,000 to about $25,000,000 a ship. The ships would require crews, if fully manned, of about 3500 men, but suggestions ere under study that one boiler room be secured and secondary guns be left unmanned. Some observers believe the ships could be operated safely with as few as 1100 men each.

In Britain, the visit evoked hardly a ripple in the press except for a few items about Mrs.

Humphrey. The Spectator, an independent conservative weekly, wrote: "Mr, Humphrey (came) largely to talk and perhaps to clear up the growing number of misunderstandings that have arisen between the United States and Europe. The signs are that he has failed." IN PARIS the Journal du Dimanche, the Sunday affiliate of Framce-Sodr, headlined its story: "Thanks to Humphrey, Johnson knows what Europe thinks."

Can these bold new programs, this surging new rural energy and sense of purpose enable the new Indian government to achieve its goal of food grain self-sufficiency by 1971? I wild not hazard a guess.

I can only say with assurance that for the first time in modern Indian history millions of cultivators are motivated not just to produce more for their families but to adjust their sights to urban markets far from their villages. The majority are now eager for fertilizer, for better seeds, and for more efficient use of water. The result is a revolution in India's 500,000 villages which would have been impossible to visualize only a few years ago. HOLT FINOS NO OPPOSITION ON TRIP TO ROLE IN WAR SYDNEY, Australia, April 10 (UPD Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt returned today from a four-nation tour of Asia. He said he had found no opposition to Australia's role in tha Vietnam war.

"I did not see a hostile banner or even a sour look," Holt said. He visited Laos, Cambodia, South Korea and Nationalist China.

For instance, last year 130,000 acres of Kerala's 1,300,000 acres of rice land were planted with the new Taiwan seeds and fertilized with chemical nutrients.

As a result, average yields per acre jumped to three times their; previous higk Most other states can show similar evidence of progress. IF FOOD GRAIN production expands according to the gov ernment's plan, the effect on India's whole economy will be dramatic.

MORE EXPERIENCED Washington hands had seen the handwriting on the wall when Fulbright, pleading another engagement, did not attend a March 10 meeting at which Mr. Johnson discussed the resolution with congressional leaders. Later, Linowitz and presidential national security assistant Walt W. Rostow, who had stepped out of his field to do.

A French official said that Premier Georges Pompidou and Foreign Minister Couve de Mur-ville listened while Humphrey did most of the talking bout the Kennedy tariff round, non-proliferation and the U.S.-So-viet agreement to ban nuclear weapons in outer space. THE LATTER, officials said, was the only point that evoked a mild Interest.

Guerin said that so far as he was concerned, decoys were for the birds and he didn't mean Hawks. Mullins scored 17 points In the first quarter and finished with a career high 40. Barry totaled seven in the quarter and wound up with 10 for his 20 minutes of action. Sharman said, "We'd noticed in the first game in St. Louis that when Mullins set a pick for Barry, two Hawks would go after Barry and leave Jeff alone.

We decided that if that happened we'd let Jeff do most of the shooting." The matter was relatively un-important in view of the Hawks' victory, but Guerin was irritated at Sharman's A presidential assistant acknowledged that an effort was being made to dissociate Mr. iaiiWiiaiariPrirppHii niaii mi inn niiii immmmmmm Johnson from the whole mat YET, IRONICALLY, it was a German official who chose the momeat of Humphrey's presence to Bonn to announce to a correspondent that the U.S. has plans to cut its military strength in Germany by 12,000 men, or two thirds of one of its six divisions, there first major withdrawal in 16 years. The nonproliferation treaty remains a divisive tssue that could bring down the Kiesenger government. The best informed guess in Bonn is that the Germans will adhere to it eventually but not on the time schedule set by the U.S.

Administration officials began passing the word to reporters that Mr. Johnson had not really needed the Latin American resolution at all.

"Ridiculous," commented Richie. "If they use Barry as a 'decoy, who besides Mullins is going to pick up their offense? "Besides, we never double- team Barry.
