But no one was horrified because it was a festive occupation and the battle would be confined to "It was our biggest day in years," Rosen said. Mostly they were inquiring about transportation in the city and where to spend their time during the hours before and after the game. The family groups are obviously figuring on side trips to see the Liberty Bell and the Betsy Ross House.

By late Friday, hotel rooms were scarce in Philadelphia. Waiting iines were longer than usual in the more popular restaurants. And saloon operators the turf of Kennedy Stadium on Saturday afternoon Once again, it's that time of year: Army versus Navy. And, as usual, the city was basking in the national spotlight that focuses on this traditional game of football between the two service schools West Point and Annapolis and reaping the financial rewards of unusually brisk business in the downtown places. 102,000 SPECTATORS When kick-off time comes Saturday afternoon, the stands of the stadium in South Philadelphia will be bulging with the customary 102,000 spectators the majority of them visiting from out of town.

The visitors began arriving early triday, and many especially the family groups-came with the intention of making a weekend of it in Philadelphia. SIDE TRIPS one was more delighted Over this than Abe S. Rosen, president of the Convention and Tourist Bureau.

Chestnut street between Broad and Juniper streets is jammed with as Christmas season opens in stores. Twenty-one shopping days remain. Deluge of Shoppers Fills Center City as Yule Season Opens By KATHERINE DUNLAP Of The Inquirer Staff had something to smile about for a change. EXTRA SERVICE Cadets in gray and midshipmen in Dlue were strolling the streets in the company of pretty young women many of whom traveled from distant parts of the country just for this one weekend, a weekend which will be given a special place in their book of memories.

Accused Of Violating Raid Accord PARIS, Nov. 29 (UPI). The Vietcong rejected on Friday as "insolent" a United States demand to stop the fighting in Vietnam and said it would ignore the presence of South Vietnam at the Paris conference table. U. S.

sources said it was ''highly unlikely" the expanded talks could get under way- next week, as had been hoped. North Vietnam also accused the United States of bombing its territory for the third straight day in violation of the bombing halt accord and said it would strongly protest to Washington Well informed American sources in Paris said that because the Saigon Government's delegation was not yet in Paris, it was "Dhysicallv impossible" for the broadened talks to open next week. HARRIMAN TO RETURN Western diplomats said another indication the talks would be delayed was an announcement that U. S. delegation chief W.

Averell Harriman planned to War Dispatch and Related News on Page 3 fly to New York and Washington on Sunday to preside over a meeting of the President's Commission on Human Rights. The commission will meet Dec. 3 and 4 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the United Nations declaration on human rights. Harriman thus could not get back before next Thursday, making it difficult for him to prepare for a conference before the following week. AN 'EQUAL PARTY At the same time a procedural deadlock shaped up that could delay the opening of the expanded Vietnam negotiations even longer.

The Vietcong's National Liberation Front said it was going into the negotiations considering itself the sole representative of the South Vietnamese people. saia it considered itself an independent and equal party in the negotiations that will also include delegations from Washington, Hanoi and Saigon. 1WO-WAY AFFAIR "li the United States wishes to settle the South Vietnameso problem by peaceful means it mus open conversations with the NLF on the basis of its tive-point conditions," a Vietcong communique said. "Tho Saigon puppet administration represents no one." The South Vietnamese Government has demanded a dominant role in the negotiations and said it views the coming lalks as a two-way affair in which it also will ignore the Vietcong and address itself to Hanoi only. In the declaration outlining its position for the forthcoming conference the Vietcong reject ed "the insolent demand of the United States to stop the fighting in Vietnam.

It said the fight would go on until the Americans were forced to leave Vietnam.

A "selective" midnight to 6 A. M. curfew would be in effect, primarily aimed at large crowds, a city spokesman said.

Despite the absence of police men, the spokesman said, there have been fewer crimes of vio lence than usual. There was the usual amount of fire alarms.

"The people saw enough of violence in 1967, certainly they don't want anymore," the spokesman said, referring to the racial riots. Fire Chief Joseph Redden said he was close to having a full force on duty at 9:15 P. M. No major fires were reported during the day. There was a $23,000 bank robbery and a supermarket stickup, but patrol cars were able to respond to to both incidents.

Nearly 200 Essex County sher iffs deputies patroled the streets in New Jersey's largest city dur ing the day. 17 CARS PATROLLING Only 17 of the 50 patrol cars in this city of 400,000 were in operation, Police Department officials said. However, a spokesman for the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association said earlier there were only six cars on the street. The mayor said late Friday afternoon 50 percent of the firemen and policemen who "should be on duty at this moment are not at their posts." Normally, about 300 policemen and 200 firemen are assigned the day shifts. The mayor termed the sick-call an action which "could not be condemned strongly enough." He ordered the suspension of liquor sales.
