MacKay, 55, executive vice president of the Phoenix Development Association and a major voice for resurrection of the downtown area, yesterday announced his resignation, effective Jan. 24. He said he will accept a position as director of the Central City Redevelopment Program in San Jose, an arm of the city's unified Association of Metropolitan San Jose. The duties will be essentially the same as his Phoenix duties, he said, except that San Jose has urban renewal and a housing code two which Phoenix lacks and he feels are absolutely essential. "MY ROLE I've always felt has been that of a catalyst," he said yesterday.

"I believe the city itself is the key to the best program for development. Individuals and associations can come and go, but the city has the continuity of the years on its side. "It's been my goal to help the city do a better job than would be the case if it were left on its own," he said. MacKay, who has held his post since 1962, termed the decision to quit "one of the toughest decisions I have had to make in my life," He said that he did not seek the San Jose job but that it is a challenge and he's eager to see what he can do. "THE THING that made me take a good look (at the San Jose job) is the challenge they've got," he said.

"They've got urban renewal and a housing code up there. So the tools to work with are at hand.

Nixon's private go-ahead, President Johnson will call on Congress to extend the 10 per cent income tax surcharge for another year informed sources said yesterday. They said Nixon had promised not to torpedo the tax extension but, seeking room for maneuver in case the state of the economy changes rapidly, did not absolutely commit himself to hold to Johnson's position on the tax in the spring.

The $15 billion tax Increase Is scheduled to expire automatically June 30. THE WHITE HOU8C announced Johnson will submit Ms proposed budget covering the first full fiscal year of the Nixon administration at midday tomorrow and deliver his final economic report Thursday. The budget covers the year starting July 1. Administration source! said with the tax increase retained the budget would result in a surplus of about $3 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970. Both the surplus and the tax will help dampen down the economy's inflationary trend.

The informed sources said discussion over the fate of the tax increase started between the Nixon and Johnson camps at the aide level but the final decision was reached in a telephone call between the President and the president-elect. "YOU CAN ASSUME that there has been agreement between the outgoing and incoming administrations," said one congressional source. But another reliable source said Nixon reserved the option to take a fresh look at the economy in the spring to see at that time whether the extension was still considered necessary. Johnson was reported ready to publicly propose extending the surtax in his State of the Union message tomorrow night. He would spell out the details in his two subsequent messages on economics.

In New York, Nixon aides said that the president-elect would have a statement after Johnson's address to Congress. There was immediate speculation Gov, Williams Gets Coffee From Senate President Porter As House Speaker Haugh Watches Harriman heads OH 6 winmiig a New York Times Service PARIS Starting a week-long round of farewell appearances, W. Averell Harriman yesterday stressed that the United States objectives in Vietnam iwere limited. The outgoing head of the U.S. delegation to the peace talks here added that he hoped the American people would "not be talking about winning a war." Harriman spoke at a luncheon offered in his honor by the Anglo-American Press Association in Paris.

He said he his successor, Henry Cabot Lodge, and his new negotiating team Vietcong shifts offensive back to Mekong Delta Associated Press SAIGON A Vietcong attack that damaged or destroyed about $5 million of U.S. helicopters has underscored shifting of the war's focus back to the Mekong Delta, populous rice bowl. Headquarters of the U.S. Army's 164th Aviation Group at Can Tho, the delta's biggest city and the center of most gov- military operations south of was hit yesterday by heavy mor- tar, rocket and machine-gun fire and 'the winter's first ground assault on an allied airfield. SPOKESMEN SAID eight Americans and four Vietcong died in the fight as enemy sappers worked their way in with explosives in that action, 80 miles south of Saigon.

Field reports said five heavy-duty Chinookj and 10 smaller helicopters were wrecked. Coupled with a 10-round motar shell- Ing that damaged six helicopters of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division headquarters at Don Tarn, 40 miles to the north, the attack marked what one U.S. officer called "an oozing beginning" to a possible new enemy offensive. B52 bombers mounted three missions Sunday night, dropping more than 600 tons of explosives on suspected enemy bases $0 miles north of Saigon.

They followed up yesterday with 400 tons along infiltration corridors leading toward the capital. The eight-engine jets made one strike within 25 miles of Saigon.

Harriman, who has led the U.S. delegation here since the Paris talks started in May, reaffirmed his faith in persevering negotiation at a time when prospects for an early breakthrough in the present deadlock are looking dim. AN AMERICAN official who participated in a futile bargaining session Sunday with North Vietnamese representatives yesterday said last night that the enemy side had assumed "a most rigid posture," making chances for a compro- mise in the current procedural impasse seem remote. South Vietnam's delegation to the Paris talks in a statement last night denounced what it described as Hanoi's "negative and obstinate attitude." In contrast with North Vietnam's professions of her desire for peace, the statement charged, her negotiators had failed to put forward any serious proposal to end the present stalemate in Paris, while rejecting all of the "constructive and conciliatory" suggestions that the United States and South Vietnam had offered. The deputy leader of the North Viet- namese team here, Col.

Ha Van Lau, Sunday declared as "unacceptable" two new allied proposals aimed at paving the way toward broadened peace talks. The latest allied suggestions, presented by Cyrus R. Vance, Harriman's deputy, concerned the design, of the conference-table and the order of speakers in an expanded Vietnam conference. IN ADDITION to U.S. and North Vietnamese delegates who have been negotiating, bilaterally since the beginning of the Paris talks, representatives of the Saigon regime and the National Libera- Continued On Page 2 Nixon pledges Negroes to outdo LBJ New York Times Service NEW YORK President elect Richard M.

Nixon, in a meeting yesterday with six Negro leaders, reportedly pledged that he would not only equal but surpass the efforts of his predecessors to improve the economic and social condition of Negroes. "He told us that he is going to do more for the underprivileged and more for the Negro than any president has ever done," said Hobson Reynolds, president of the Negro Elks Organization and one of the participants in the session. ACCORDING to Reynolds, the session produced not only this represents one of Nixon's firmest commitments to black also a hint from the president-elect that he would shortly appoint several Negroes to high-level posts. "He said that in the next week he'd have some high-level appointments we'd be happy with," Reynolds reported. Nixon's failure to appoint a Negro to his cabinet has drawn criticism from some Negro leaders, but he is known to have made a sustained effort to find Negroes for subcabinet posts.

THE MEETING consumed 70 minutes of a busy day at the Pierre Hotel during which the president-elect also: Frank Shakespeare, once heir-apparent to the presidency of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and generally regarded one of the ablest and most likable of Nixon's campaign advisers, as the new director of the United States Information Agency: for 30 minutes with R.

The statement put Wilkins, executive director of the Nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, in direct opposition to Negro students across the country now demanding black studies programs which they control and dormitories for black students only. WILKINS SAID THESE demands represent, "in essence, the setting up of racially based Jim Crow schools," and he said the use of public tax monies to do this was believed by him and NAACP lawyers to be unconsUtuUo'aal. some white Americans, torn and confused by today's clamor of black students, should accede officially to the call for separate dwmjtoriei and autonomous racial schools within ligei an universities, ttort will be court action to determine anyone's right to use public tax funds to set up what are, patently, Jim Crow schools," he Wilkins made the to about 200 NAACP representatives from throughout the United States at the 60th annual corporate meeting of the association at the Park Sheraton Hotel.

He repeated them and elaborated at a news conference after delivering the speech. WILKJNS EMPHASIZED that he and the NAACP were not opposed to the teaching ol courses in black studies, and in fact, the NAACP has a program in which it attempts to get black history courses taught in high schools and colleges. "We are opposed to their (black students') dormitory proposals and their ai black studies programs," the civil righto leader said, "If we can't find a plaintiff (to bring suit). we will sue on basis of our that tax fundi cannot he used" to crea segregated facilities.

Williams called upon the 29th Arizona Legislature yesterday to help find a way to improve the lot of the poor, particularly those living on substandard incomes which threaten to make them welfare cases. "When adequate information is available to you, it may appear desirable to give those not now on relief but living on substandard incomes some type of direct tax exemption," Williams said in his message opening the 1969 legislative session. The governor's emphasis on the state's pressing health, welfare and educational needs struck a responsive chord even in the hearts of his most partisan legislative critics. "BY AND LARGE it seemed to me that the governor's message had a social, tinge to it," remarked Sen. Cloves Campbell, D-Maricopa, a Negro with militant leanings.

However, Campbell took offense at the "Law and Order" title of one plank of the governor's program although the chief executive suggested those not liking the term could substitute "domestic tranquility." "Law and order has a bad connotation," Campbell added. "It's like saying 'Nigger BUT GENERALLY the governor's four-pronged legislative program was viewed amiably from both the Republican and. Democratic sides of the aisle in both chambers. Under the education category, the governor recommended establishment of bilingual education in the elementary grades so Spanish-speaking children do not get left behind in the classroom. He also asked for "special emphasis" on vocational education and extra training for the handicapped child.

But he warned that he would not support the creation of any new state commissions. Sen. Mike Farren, R-Maricopa, a 35- year-old freshman who campaigned on the bilingual education need, said he was in agreement with the governor's stand. "THIS IS THE whole economic foundation for the Mexican people," Farren said. "They must get an education if they are to succeed in bettering their situation." The governor spelled out under Law and Order the need for legislation correcting deficiencies in the juvenile laws, including lowering the age of responsibility from 18 to 16.

He also advocated establishment of a state institution for problem girls, with future plans for branch facilities. And he called for tougher laws on de- Continued On Page 4 Israel's troops mass for attack, Cairo paper says United Press International BEIRUT, Lebanon The 1 semi-official Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram warned yesterday of a possible major Israeli attack against Jordan. It said Arab intelligence reports indicated Israel was massing troops for the strike "during the last days of President Johnson's term." The timing of the raid apparently was designed to minimize U.S. disapproval during the changeover of administrations in Washington, Al Ahram said. Johnson will be succeeded by President-elect Richard M.

Nixon next Monday. No confirmation was available anywhere else on the report carried by the Cairo newspaper and attributed to Iraqi and Jordanian intelligence sources. Iraqi troops have been stationed in Jordan since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

Israeli officials Sunday said Ambassador Walter Eytan had been recalled from Paris, but an embassy spokesman there said yesterday he will not return to Jerusalem until the cabinet decides what action should be taken.

With prospects for a peace settlement in the Middle East still dim, the Jewish agency in Jerusalem yesterday announced 22 more Israeli settlements will be established in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in Syria. Observers in Jerusalem said 10 settlements already have been set up in the heights captured during the 1967 war and indicated Israel was settling in "permanently," Sirhan won't deny killing RFK; 'intent' to be issue Associated Press LOS ANGELES-There will be no denial that Sirhan Bishara Sirhan fired the shot that killed Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Sirhan's chief defender said yesterday. That defense position would make Sirhan's "intent" the main issue in the trial of the young Jordanian who is charged with murder.

As the jury selection process continued, Mrs. Rose Malina, a widow and a nurse, became the first prospective juror to be accepted by the defense. Questioned about which newspapers she reads and what broadcast stations she listens to, Mrs. Malina underwent additional private questioning in the judge's chambers and again in open court. At one point she was asked by a prosecuting attorney if she would give Sir- nan "some benefit" because of his youth.

She said no. ATTORNEY Grant B. Cooper said in quwtlQoing the first prospective juror in the case that commission of the act of shooting is not enough to constitute guilt of murder. "There will be no denial of the fact that our client, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, fired the shot that killed the late senator and injured others," Cooper said. The jury's job will be to consider Sir- nan's intentions, he said.

Sirhan, 24, is accused of shooting Kennedy June 5 after the senator had claimed victory in California's Democratic primary election. Sirhan alsp is charged with assault with a deadly- weapon with intent to commit murder against five other persons who were wounded.
