The Democratic candidates drew cheering, traffic-stopping crowds along the route. (AP Wirephoto) Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Hubert Humphrey holds up a woman's shoe tossed into his car during a campaign tour in New York's midtown Manhattan. With Humphrey in the convertible is Robert Kennedy, candidate for the U.S. demands in the Poitiers post office Thursday. Both threatened the children with death and the first set a time limit for payment 7 p.m.

Friday. The first note, posted in Parthenay, in the Deux-Sevres department about 30 miles west of Marnay, called for cash 105 million in old francs to be paid by the merchants and citizens of Poitiers. The second, posted in Paris, called for the same amount in new francs 1,050,000 of them. Police declined to comment on the possibility that either or both the notes might be a hoax, although this angle has been considered. However, with practically no clues, police were overlooking no bets.

They said the letters used local expressions, but appeared to come from someone who had not been in the area lately since several of the 20 merchants listed as potential ransom contributors recently have gone bankrupt. POITIERS, France If) Police intercepted two ransom notes demanding that the merchants and citizens of Poitiers pay $210,000 for a safe return of three kidnaped children from families of modest means. The notes threatened that if the money weren't paid, the children would be killed. It was the first time in the annals of modern French crime that kidnapers returned to the medieval custom of assessing a whole city for ransom. "A new form of gangsterism," French police called it as they searched for more clues and sent 700 riot police scouring city, village and countryside for the missing children.

The three, Patrick Guillon, 5, his sister, Christine, 6, and a friend, Joel Biet, 5, were last seen walking home from school Monday in the village of Marnay, 10 miles away.

Hubert Humphrey, President Johnson's running mate, took the former attorney general campaigning through the busy streets of New York. They stopped noontime traffic from Gimbel's past Macy's LBJ, Lopez mountain tribesmen against low land Vietnamese that a hand ful of U.S.

Army Special Forces troops is trying to mediate. Hhe situation was explosive. The caretaker premier flew to this heavily garrisoned moun tain town, 160 miles north of Sai gon, to tackle the problem created last weekend by a bloody uprising of several nun dred tribesmen the Americans trained and armed to fight as irregulars against the Commu nist Viet Cong. "It is very serious," Khanh said. I do not know when we will be able to solve it." About 4,000 government troops and 12 field guns guarded Ban Me Thout against a possible onslaught by the heavily armed mountain people, who slew per haps 50 lowland Vietnamese officers and soldiers at their camps last weekend and seized 50 other Vietnamese as hostages.

The mountainers, members of the Rhade tribe, did not appear in a mood for bargaining, wear ing camouflaged uniforms, they maintained barricades around four of their camps in the area and kept control of a bridge on National Route 14, the only di rect highway to Saigon. They were still angry about the ambush by a Vietnamese army unit of a truck convoy of tribesmen who had started through the no man's land to ward the Vietnamese lines Tuesday with an assurance of safe conduct. Three of the tribesmen were killed and eight wounded. The wounded were treated by a U.S. Army Special Forces doctor, Capt.

Richard Haskell of Old Town, Maine. Significantly in the middle was Col. John F. Freund, 46, a native of New York, who is deputy senior advisor to the Vietnamese army's IV Corps. Fluent in French, a second language among both highland-ers and lowlanders of Viet Nam, Freund has been working for peace since Monday at the tribesmen's camp at Buon Sa Par, where various rebel commanders have congregated.

The top leader, Bham, was believed to be a few miles away, across the frontier in Cambodia. Freund's status is somewhere between that of a hostage and chief negotiator between the government and the rebels. He conducted a message exchange with Ban Me Thour via a battery-powered radio and a U.S. Army light plane circling overhead as a flying relay station. It appeared the colonel and five other Americans in various rebel camps could have left several days ago if they wished.

But these Americans were the only link beteen the rebels and the government and there was no immediate prospect of pulling them out. For El Chamizal Treaty Mateos To to serenade the president and his wife from the street outside their hotel. Mexican officials estimated 80,000 of Juarez 300,000 people would meet the president at the airport and line the streets to his hotel. For President Johnson the celebration of the treaty will be much briefer. He will arrive from Washing ton by plane and drive to the Stanton Street Bridge to meet his neighbor chief of state.

He will take off for appearances in Oklahoma and Texarkana immediately after the formal ceremonies at Bowie High School on the edge of El Chamizal. The terms of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which con cluded the Mexican War in 1848, set the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico.

Goldwater took his campaign today from his own bas tions in the Southwest to this citadel of John F. Kennedy for his first invasion of the North east. On the way he encountered a change of political climate marked by raucous expressions from opposition elements. In Boston Thursday night he rejected an effort by his speech writers to ingratiate himself with the opposition. He released just before the Fenway Park rally an insertion to his prepared text, invoking formally for the first time in his campaign the name of President Kennedy, mentioning his friend ship with Kennedy in the Senate.

But he did not use it. In Madison, he stood up to an outdoor student throng of 15,000 liberally infiltrated by Johnson supporters, and told them: "Apes can shout and scream but only humans can reason. Earlier at Mason City, Iowa, where he flew after a rousing early morning party rally in Wichita, there was a sprinkling of "LBJ" signs. But at Madison, the tone of opposition became louder and more abrasive. The University of Wisconsin had suspended classes for the noontime rally at the State Capitol, and the Capitol grounds were packed with young people.

They were free in their ex pressions of opinion, both oral and written. Directly in front of the senator speaking plat form was a huge banner which struck him in what he acknowl edges is his political weak spot accusations that he is impul sive. Bring the bomb Back Barry" the sign read. There were others. One read: "In your heart you know he's trite.

Some were less good-hu mored. A massive, uncontrolled brush fire Thursday killed one fire- tignter, burned 34 others and left scores of homes destroyed, including the mansions of edu cator Robert Maynard Hutchins and the Olympic Games' Avery Brundage. Some 1,800 firefighters braced for the predicted return Thursday night of hot wind from the interior the so-called Santa Ana or "devil wind" of California lore. Wednesday night it whipped the fire to spreading fury and caused mass evacuations of more than 5,000 persons from their homes. The Forest Service, after helicopter surveys Thursday, reported 78 homes destroyed.

They ranged in value from about to the $100,000 $200,000 residential palaces in the exch sive suburb of Montecito. Grant Morse, asst. regional U.S. forester, placed the burned over acreage at some 30,000 acres and the property damage at $3i2 millions. No estimate could be placed on the loss of valuable watershed.

In Montecito, long a favorite home site of the rich, one of the homes destroyed was that of Dr. Hutchins, president of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions here and and former president of the University of Chicago. Another lavish dwelling leveled was the 20-room, Spanish-style mansion of Brundage, president of the International Olympic Committee. The wall-surrounded home reportedly was valued at about $200,000. Brundage drove here from San Francisco Wednesday night, inspected the smoking ruins, then returned to San Francisco and took a plane for Tokyo and the coming Olympic Games.

His famous Oriental art collection, valued at $10 to $20 million, was not in the mansion. He donated the collection to San Francisco about two years ago. Helicopters made daring flights and took the 34 injured fire fighters mostly from central California to two hospitals. Twenty were released after treatment- The 14 others who remained in the hospitals were reported in serious condition. Twenty eight of the victims were burned in an explosive flare-up of arid brush as flames spilled over the ridge of La Cumbre Peak a few miles north of Santa Barbara.

The others, including the man killed, were burned in the Romero Saddle area of the 10-mile fire front. An early report that eight men were missing on La Cumbre Peak proved erroneous, the U.S. Forest Service said. More than 2,400 firefighters still were striving, meanwhile, to contain several stubborn northern California fires that had burned more than 26,000 acres. Fifty-mile-an-hour winds at Santa Barbara subsided this morning, letting the fire abate somewhat and permitting an assessment of damage since the flames broke out Tuesday afternoon.

The wind fanned flames roared Wednesday night into Montecito, forcing mass evacuations of residents wearing night clothes and carrying possessions and pets. Some cars towed trailers carrying family horses. Ten planes "bombed" the 10-mile fire front with water drops. Four helicopters helped direct operations. Ground forces used 92 tank trucks and 35 bulldozers.

The city of Los Angeles, 98 miles south, dispatched ntne fire units and 16 bruih-flre experts to the diastrr area. Lm Angeles County sent 25 units to join 13 already on the scene. Ecuadoran Hails De Gaulle, But Notes Ties With U.S. Foreign Aid Ceiling Set By Solons WASHINGTON Iff) The Senate late Thursday passed President Johnson's foreign aid authorization bill after adopting a compromise solution to its long controversy over legislative reapportionment. A 45-16 roll call vote passed the measure which sets a ceil ing on foreign aid spending for the current fiscal year.

Actual funds must be provided in sepa rate legislation. Passage of the measure, which has been pending in the Senate since Aug. 1, came in a burst of speed after it broke a stalemate created by a liberal Democratic filibuster against a proposal to delay court-ordered reapportionment of both houses of state legislatures on a popu lation basis. With that issue out of the way, the Senate quickly adopted by voice vote an amendment by Sen. George D.

Aiken, to require of aid contractors doing business with the foreign aid program the same loyalty oath he said is required of beneficiaries of the new war on poverty program. It next overrode State Depart ment opposition and voted 60 to 1 to condemn the Soviet Un ion's persecution of the Jewish people. The bill, as it cleared the Sen ate, had been cut $216,700,000 below the $3,516,700,000 Johnson requested and what the House previously authorized. The measure now goes to a Senate-House conference com mittee for a reconciliation of differences in the two versions The amendment adopted Thursday was offered by Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Democratic leader from Montana, as a substitute for one proposed by Sen.

Everett M. Dirksen, the Republican leader from Illinois. The aim of the Dirksen proposal for a time cosponsored by Mansfield was to stall court redistricting orders for one to two years to allow time for adoption of a constitutional amendment upsetting the Supreme Court ruling, at least to the extent of permitting states to have one branch of the legislature apportioned on a geographical basis. The House has passed a measure which would deprive federal courts of any jurisdiction over state legislative apportionment but there is no prospect the Senate will adopt that bill. The Mansfield amendment would make it the "sense of Congress" that "in the absence of unusual circumstances or in the presence of circumstances which could make unreasonable or embarrassing demands on a state," district conns could properly: Meet Today Ceremony shifted its course, slicing off a bit of Mexico, known as fc.1 Lha- mizal.

The United States claimed it. Mexico wanted it back and in 1911 was awarded the land by an international commission but the United States rejected the decision. Meanwhile the city of El Paso dug a new channel to straighten out the river and cut away a smaller area of Mexico, known as Cordova Island. U.S. citizens cleared away the brush on El Chamizal and built homes and stores.

But Cordova Island, which the U.S. did not claim, remain undeveloped. In 1962 the late President John F. Kennedy and Lopez Mateos decided to end the El Chamizal problem. The decision resulted in the treaty that gives El Chamizal to Mexico and Cordova Island to the United States.

the Organization of American States. Adm. Castro Jijon seemed to have this in mind when he toasted the French chief of state at a formal government luncheon. He praised De Gaulle as "a visionary and the architect of the political and eeconomic autonomy of Europe." But, the admiral added, Ecuador and other South American countries "while proud to maintain their traditional ties with France, are also tied with the United States in the Organization of American States, a permanent organization to attain the objectives of peace, liberty and justice." To LBJ The findings are known to point overwhelmingly to the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald, the unstable ex-Marine marksman who was murdered in Dallas two days after the assassination and his arrest. Oswald consid ered himself a Marxist, but commission sources have disclosed that no evidential link has been found between Oswald and any conspiracy of the left or right, here or overseas.

The report's 700 pages of text and detailed charts and photographs will deal extensively with that question, government sources said. Scores of other questions which have been raised publicly since the slaying will be touched on, they said. on 34th Street, and on sophisti- cated Fifth Avenue ran into a solid wall of bodies, cheers and applause. The Democratic nominees for Auto Workers I May Strike GM Today DETROIT UP) Within reach of an agreement on economic Issues, the Unit- ed Auto Workers union pro- posed to General Motors Corp. Thursday that their I new contract differences in i non-economic areas be sub- mitted to binding arbitra- tion.

i I The company promptly rejected the proposals as a "heads I win, tails you lost gambit" and added, "We have heard this loaded type of arbitration proposal many times before." stead, the company proposed that the union extend beyond its 10 a.m. strike deadline Friday the cur-rent contract which has been extended from time to time since Aug. 31. Without arbitration, UAW President Walter P. Reuth-, er indicated he considered a strike inevitable Friday.

1. Allow the legislature of such state the length of time provided for a regular session. plus 30 days, but not more than six months in all, to reapportion in accordance with court orders. 2. Permit the next election of members of state legislatures to be conducted in accordance with state laws in effect last Sunday, Sept.

20. 3. Require that if a state fails to reapportion within the time granted in any court order, the courts themselves shall apportion representation. Supporters of the substitute said that it in no way challenges the Supreme Court ruling, that it does not contain mandatory direction even to the district courts, and that as a simple expression of the sense of Congress, it has no force of law. In the six-week debate over the Dirksen proposal, its backers' principal argument was that the one-man, one-vote doctrine would deliver control of states to the metropolitan area at the expense of rural dwellers.

vice president and senator from New Yprk rode on the rear deck of an open convertible which sursine. enthusiastic crowds halted twice. The crowds of noisy thou sands a sort usually seen on Fifth Avenue only when New York's Irish celebrate St. Pat rick's Day slowed the campaigners to a crawl. The cavalcade inched along, taking 50 minutes to travel the 17 blocks from 34th to 50th Streets.

At one point police quit trying to clear the human sea. In the rush to shake the can didates' hands Kennedy was al most pulled from the deck of the convertible. Someone in the crowd threw a girl's slipper to Kennedy, who caught it neatly in the air, signed his autograph to it and flipped it back. The idea caught on. Soon an other shoe was tossed to Hum phrey.

He wound up with a shoe nobody claimed. The day was sprinkled with ironies. Four years ago Kennedy was in the driver seat. As cam paign manager for his brother, John F. Kennedy, he had crushed the bids of both Humphrey and Johnson for the Dem ocratic party's presidential nomination.

Now Kennedy is battling New York's Republican incumbent Kenneth B. Keating for a U.S Senate seat and may need all the help he can get from Hum phrey and Johnson. In his speech to the New York City Central Labor Group, Hum phrey charged Goldwater is giv ing the nation "neither a choice nor an echo, but a baffling, be wildering blur." He asked Goldwater to ex plain some of his statements and said: "No man asking the Ameri can people to elect him Presi dent has the right to make cryptic, often ominous remarks and then leave the electorate to discover their meaning."

UP) Good' neighbor Juarez worked up a fiesta mood Thursday night for Mexicos greatest diplomatic victory a treaty returning a sliver of land claimed for 100 years by the United States. Citizens of the border city just across the Rio Grande from El Paso prepared a roaring welcome for the Mexican hero of the El Chamizal treaty, Pres ident Adolfo Lopez Mateos. Lopez Mateos and President Johnson will meet Friday morning in the center of a bridge linking the two largest neighboring cities of either nation. Then the two chiefs of state will cross to the United States for speeches and the unveiling of a marker on the edge of the 630 acres known as El Chami zal.

The treaty also gives the United States 193 acres of Mexican land. The city of Juarez is named for Benito Juarez, the hero who liberated Mexico from the Emperor Maximilian. As a measure of their admiration for Lopez Mateos, citizens have conferred on him the honorary title "Son of Juarez." Bands of musicians stood by Senators Crank Out 56 Bills WASHINGTON IB Once the reapportionment rider substitute and foreign aid bill passed, the Senate quickly turned Thursday night to the regular calendar and in about 10 minutes passed 56 bills. Most were of a minor nature. This puts the Senate in good shape to handle the few remain ing major bills left in a stretch drive toward what many members hope will be adjournment next week.

Report In a letter to Warren made public after the presentation, Johnson said he would give the report most careful study and added: I commend it to the attention of all Americans and all our friends everywhere." The Presidet said he knew the commission "has been guided throughout by a determination to find and to tell the whole truth of these terrible events." "This is our obligation," Johnson said, "to the good name of the United States of America and to all men everywhere who respect our nation and above all to the memory of President Kennedy." I When the commission left the Mansfield's Amendment Adopted Senate Asks Courts To Go Slowly On Reapportioning Bulky Volume On Assassination Of JFK QUITO Iff) Ecuador's junta chief, Adm. Ramon Castro Jijon, Thursday hailed visiting President Charles de Gaulle as a great French patriot but told him straight out that Ecuadc is permanently linked with the United States for peace and liberty. Diplomatic and press reports have speculated that one of the aims of De Gaulle's South America swing is to offer Latin American countries a French alternative to dependence on the United States. There have been fears expressed in Washington that he might succeed in loosening the bonds binding the Americas in Handed White House without pausing for newsmen or the waiting television cameras it passed out of existence, legally speaking. Warren has taken the position that, although federal agents will continue to trace down every new lead which might shed further light on the case, the commission will not involve itself in any follow-up or supple-lemental investigations.

Johnson's emphasis on worldwide study of the report reflected one of the chief concerns of the government and the commissionthat the report should dispose, once and for all, of rumors and speculation about "conspiracy." These have been especially rife abroad. WASHINGTON (IPl The Senate adopted Thursday a non-binding request to federal courts to go slowly in reapportioning state legislatures on a population basis. Doing so, it removed a major obstacle to early adjournment of Congress perhaps next week. The 44-38 roll call was a victory for liberal Democratic senators who since Aug. 12 have been conducting an on-and-off filibuster against a proposal to impose a mandatory delay in district courts' application of the Supreme Court's one-man, one-vote ruling.

This decision provides that both houses of state legislatures be apportioned on a population basis. Under it, district courts can redistrict states when legislatures fail to do so. Thursday's vote was on a rider to the foreign aid authorization bill. In a burst of speed, the Senate went on to pass the foreign aid authorization bill Thursday night and send it on Its way to a conference with the House, which passed a similar measure many weeks ago. Warren WASHINGTON IT) Soberly and almost wordlessly the Warren Commission presented to President Johnson Thursday "The truth as far as it can be discovered" about the assassination of President John F.

Kennedy. That was what Johnson asked for last Nov. 29 one week after tragedy struck in Dallas in creating the seven-member investigating body headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren. Warren handed the report, bound in a blue-covered, 4-inch- thick volume, to the President in the cabinet room of the White House. Thp rrport will he released Sunday night..
