Seven Soviet Cosmonauts Edge Three Craft Closer MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union's seven orbiting cosmonauts went ahead with their assigned program today, Tass announced, but there was no indication of plans for the linkup of spaceships that is expected.

The announcement of the Nov.

3 address came Monday only a few hours after the White House made public a letter on which Nixon told a Georgetown University student there will be no change in Vietnam course "merely because of a public demonstration." Still, Iho timing of tlie speech announcement and (lie way in which the letter was released caused considerable surprise. It is rare thai a planned presidential speech is announced three weeks in advance. And it is even rarer that the While House releases contents of a presidential letter to a private individual- the usual procedure being to let the recipient ai- nounce tlie contents. In saying Nixon would discuss the entire Vietnam situation Nov. 3 "as it exists at that time," the White House noted the speecli would come just about a year after former President Lyndon B.

Johnson ordered an end to U.S. bombing of North Vietnam. Thus, (lie White House said, early November would be a good time for a major discussion of the war. While Nixon continues to insist he won't allow "his course to be swayed by those who demonstrate," it is growing more and more apparent the moratorium has grown far beyond the scope of the student-originated concept. Instead of a day in which students would demonstrate their opposition to the war by slaying away from-classes the movement has spread to Include nearly every facet of the nation's life.

-Leaders of the four-million member Alliance for Labor Action announced Monday it is backing (ho protest movement, the first endorsement the moratorium lias received from a major labor organization. The alliance was formed by United Auto Workers President ANTI-EVtRYTHING CROUPS Wave Inemy Flag, Burn Ours, Says Marine General MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The commandant of the Marine Corps hit out today at "anti-ev- eryihing organizations" which use "instant and ttieatrical violence" to draw attention to their opposition to the Vietnam war. Speaking on the eve of nationwide antiwar demonstrations, Gen. Leonard F.

Cliaptnan said such groups have taken sanctuary behind the right of dissent while supporting the effort of the enemy. "They employ some of the vocabulary of l(je pacifists in speaking of this'irar," he said, "But from the'very beginning they have waved the flag of the enemy, burned our own flag, practiced violence and preached their own war as a means to destroy our present society." In comments for a service club, Chapman compared extreme dissenters with Viet Cong guerrillas. "Like our enemy in Vietnam, they fight a guerrilla war," ho said. "They, too, have a freedom of movement, and the advantage of doing battle when and where they choose. Their sanctuary is the honesty and integrity of the responsible dissenters," Ctopman also spoke of the young men who serve while the goes one wants this war toe'hd more I nan the young American who puts his life on the line everyday- but still they fight," lie said.

and acting Teamsters president Frank E. Fitzsinnnons. The AFL-C1O, which no longer counts the UAW and Teamsters as members, has strongly supported Nixon's Vietnam policies and is not taking part in thu moratorium. Further support came Monday from Averell llarriman, the original U.S. Paris peace negotiator under lhe Johnson administration, Speaking with considerable emotion, the former New York governor said, "We're a free country paying a tremendous price for the war and entitled to dissent." Civil Rights leader Whitney Young, executive director of the National Urban League, expressed opposition lo (he war for the first lime in endorsing Wednesday's series of rallies, prayer meetings, marches and discussions.

"Vietnam is tragically diverting America's attention from its primary problem- the urban and racial crisis- at the very time that crisis is at its flash point," Young said. At Whittier College, which Nixon altended as an undergraduate, moratorium leaders plan to light an antiwar "flame of life" as a "constant reminder of those who have died and are dying while it burns," In Congress, where previous Republican calls for a moratorium on dissent have disappeared in the winds of oratory from bolli sides of the aisles, the protests have generated lengthy and often bitter clashes. Edward M. Kennedy, (he Senate's No, 2 Democratic leader, said Nixon's reaction to the war protestors indicates the administration ha no inter est in a It er- natives to its Vietnam policy. On (he Republican side.

Senale GOP -Leader Hugh given the moratorium a lukewarm endorsement expressed concern that the demonstration will "take on political aspects," Scon saw lie lears attempts will be made "to unload responsibilities for an inherited war on the wrong administration." In the House, where pro-moratorium members are preparing to try (o force an all-night session Wednesday, Rep, Wayne L. Hays, D-Ohio said congressmen backing the demonstrations were "self-appointed emissaries of Hanoi." Hays said he will do whatever it takes to stop the more than 20 representatives from carrying out plans to keep the House a lights burning through the night. New York City's Mayor John V. Lindsay has called for the cily'schurchestotoll their bells hourly in memory of the war dead. He also ordered flags low- eredto half-staff and city hall to be draped in purple bunling in a "day of observance," Lindsay's opponents for reelection, Mario Procaccino and John said they would observe tlie moratorium by offering prayers in church.

Wall Street even showed signs of being affected by the movement. Some analysts said Monday's strong show of tlie stock market was influenced by the moratorium. But the moratorium wasn't going without opposition. The conservatlng Young Americans for Freedom sought court orders in several cities prohibiting the closing ot schools Wednesday, claiming such shutdowns would violate the rights of students wanting to attend classes, Campus veterans clubs at Marshall University in Huntington, put up stickers urging students to show their sup. port for U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) dent Nixon, facing a nationwide Vietnam Moratorium Day, said today the debate is about how to bring about "not a temporary, but a lasting peace" in Vietnam. Observing the 79th birthday of late President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Nixon said Americans have always been a people dedicated to the cause of peace.
