BOLTON VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope Paul VI tpday proclaimed October a month of worldwide prayer to end the Viet Nam war and set Oct. 4 as a day of special observance for Roman Catholics.

Warning that "we are threatened by a more extensive and more disastrous calamity that endangers the human family," the Pope called for a redoubling of prayers next month. He urged Catholics everywhere to join in a special "day of prayer" Oct. 4 the first anniversary of his peace pilgrimage to the United Nations in New York and announced he would preside at a ceremony that day in St. Peter's Basilica. In the fourth encyclical of his reign, the Pope told the world's half billion Roman Catholics that he lifted his voice "with piercing cry and with tears" to political leaders to "prevent the further spread of the conflagration and even to extinguish it entirely." He called for a meeting to work out plans for a peace and said "a settlement should be reached now, even at the expense of some inconvenience or loss, for (otherwise) it may have to be made later in the train of bitter slaughter and involve great loss." The Pope added that a peace settlement "must rest on justice and the liberty of mankind, and take into account the rights of individuals and communities, or otherwise It will be shifting and unstable." The pontiff also appealed for an end to the nuclear arms race, nationalist expansion, racism, segregation and revolution.

In his encyclical, a circular letter to the world's Roman Catholic bishops, the Pope noted that the month of October is dedicated to prayers to Mary and said that this October "our prayers and supplications should be redoubled" to help bring peace to all man. Pope Paul said that from the very beginning of his pontificate three years ago, he had "neglected no opportunity" to use his office to work for peace. He recalled his trip to the United Nations in New York last Oct. 4 to appeal for peace before the world's largest political forum. He announced that this Oct.

4, the anniversary of his visit, would be set aside by Catholics throughout the world as a special day of prayer for peace. The Vatican described the encyclical as an act of "notable importance" in the Pope's personal campaign to end the bloodshed in Viet Nam. The 2000-word encyclical was the Pope's first major public act after his two-month summer retreat. Vatican sources said the Pope had acknowledged that all his diplomatic efforts to end the war had achieved nothing. They said with this encyclical he was launching an intensified program to influence world opinion at the level of the people.

Soil treatment EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) A method of making dry, sandy farm land produce up to twice as much food by inserting a watertight barrier of asphalt under it has been announced by two Michigan State University scientists. Michigan State soil scientist Earl Erickson said the barrier woulc' double the land's water, holding capacity. Sheriff not in favor of new plan changes Crisler again switches schedule on park hike Herb Crisler, former Walt Disney cameraman who was the object of a search by Olympic Park rangers last week, is ex. pected to complete his cross- Olympics ramble later today by exiting at Olympic Hot Springs.

Crisler was found by Rangers Jack Hughes and Dave Martin last Wednesday when he was 10 days overdue on what was orig. inally scheduled to be a week hike. He told them he expected to reach the hot springs Friday. However, he apparently changed plans again and camped over the weekend in the vicinity of Appleton Pass with friends who had gone In to meet him. A report on his trek, meanwhile, reached the Evening News from Ralph Anderson, of Ellensburg.

Anderson said he and his wife, Pauline, met Crisler about a half hour before the rangers found him and were "fascinated" by his stories. "We cammed with him at Castle of the Cat Thursday night," Anderson said. "He com. posed and sang a song in our honor when he learned we were recently married. He's a fascinating man and I only wish I had his stamina." The elimination of jail facilities from the proposed Clallam County Courthouse has prompted sheriff officials to say they "are absolutely opposed to it." Instead of putting the facilities in the new courthouse basement, the county will use city jail facilities.

"It's not good practice In any shape or form to transport prisoners through public from the jail to the courtroom," Sheriff Robert Polhamus told the Evening News this morning. "There's no. security whatsoever." "I'm all lor the combination of the two jail facilities, but if the courthouse issue goes through, I hope it will only be a temporary arrangement. As it looks now, I'd say the new courthouse has been sabotaged." The present Clallam County jail has been condemned for many years and hasn't been approved for federal prisoners since 1955. A state inspector who viewed the facilities August 24 said the state of repair was "very bad, due to irreparable old equip, ment" and said locking devices had "inoperable locks." The Inspector, David Gerecht, also cited "no safety features," sanitary equipment and plumb- Ing.

"This jail is a hazard," Gerecht says, "In which an officer must work. From the very en. trance gate it is insecure. The staff Is to be commended for their ability to maintain any tnea- sure of security at all. Only one jail lock works.

Plumbing, wiring, ventilation are all bad and probably beyond correction." Gerecht further pointed out that "a new jail is needed. This is an insecure, unsanitary jail that is not fit for use," Primary election termed 'quiet 1 Friends getting huge rutabaga from the Harold Sorter garden Rough weather calling halt to water skiing at Bonnie Brae on Lake Crescent Museum crammed with dahlia displays at show- Harbor dotted with fishing boats in Elks Derby Three youths leaving on three-day hike in Olympics before leaving for all over town taking advantage of good weather by getting their yards In young Ruud boy giving root cutting of shrub to passerby who admired it Toy dump truck on piles of fill dirt at 5th.

light infantry brigade on its first combat mission In South Viet Nam mistakenly shelled their own troops in two separate op- eratlons near the Cambodian border today, the U.S. Command reported. It also said a Marine jet accidentally bombed Leathernecks hunting North Vietnamese regulars near the demilitarized zone. The mistakes cost the lives of six Americans while 23 others were wounded, a spokesman said. The troops of the U.S.

19Gth Infantry Brigade were out on their first search and destroy missions from their own guns fellm them near their base camp at Tay Ninlt city. One shelling at 1:30 a.m. today killed two infantrymen and wounded 16, an official spokesman said. Several hours later, two more rounds of 105mm artillery killed one infantryman and wounded three, the spokesman added. Both artillery incidents took place a few miles from Tay Nlnh City, 40 miles northwest of Saigon.

In the accidental bombing, a U.S. Marine F4 Phantom fight, er-bomber accidentally dropped a 500-pound bomb Sunday on Marines dug in during Operation Prairie. The Incident oc. curred In the northernmost province of South Viet Nam a few miles south of the demili- tarlzed zone. The U.S.

Command said three Marines were killed and four wounded. A spokesman said the air strike was called in by the Marines and was under direc. tion of a forward air controller. He said the Phantom jet made one bombing run GOO feet in froat of Marine positions, then the ground unit called for strikes 300 feet closer to them. The forward controller marked the target with a smoke grenade.

The bomb was dropped In the designated target area, inflicting the Marine casualties, the spokesman reported. The mistaken bombings overshadowed war developments In which U.S. planes kept up crippling pressure on targets in North Viet Nam and sparred with Communist MIG jets for the third straight day. In the only major action reported in the South, Marines fought North Vietnamese regulars just below the demilitarized zone. The last major bombing error in Viet Nam took place Aug.

(AP) Kenilworth's police chief said today all indications were that the slayer of Valerie Percy had broken into her home for no reason but "to harm a member of the family." "Whether Valerie, 21, a twin, was the Intended victim Chief Robert M.

Daley said he did not know. She simply may have been the first person the killer found, he said. The daughter of Charles H. Percy, 41, onetime boy wonder of business and now Republican nominee for U.S. senator, was beaten and stabbed to death In her bed early Sunday morning while the Percys and two other children slept nearby.

The sleeping children included Valerie's twin, Sharon, and an. other sister, Gail, 13. The Per- cys' two boys were away. "All Indications apparently are that the intruder went In to harm a member of the family, but I don't know which one," Daley said. Asked whether the killing might have been carried out by a burglar who had been discovered, Daley said, "as of this moment we know of nothing 1 that was taken." He said no accumulation of valuables such as jewelry was in the rambling Percy mansion overlooking Lake Michigan In this fashionable North Shore suburb of Chicago.

Percy's wife, Loral no, discov. ered the Wiling after tearing moans and going to Valerie's room tu investigate. The Percys' bedroom door was closed. Asked how the mother could have heard sounds with the door closed, Daley said that in the quiet of the night she would have heard them. The search for clues thus far yielded some scissors, a knife and an old moccasin.

Daley said he placed no slgnlfi. cance on these items. The Investigation, he said, was being handled by a team of four men from the Cook County state's attorney's office, three agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and detec- tivos from the Chicago Police Homicide Division and Crime Laboratory. The FBI's status in the hunt Is that of a cooperating agency, agents said. As yet there indication of any violation o( a federal law which would give the FBI jurisdiction.

Daley said all friends and acquaintances of the Percys, so. cial, political and business, were being questioned In the hope of running across some lead to the killer. Allphu.io calls to the police were being checked exhaustively. U.S. Sen.

Westmoreland, com. mander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, appointed a military review board and ordered a scale investigation of firing procedures and control. Vietnamese army headquarters reported two incidents Sunday in which the Viet Cong killfid 14 Vietnamese civilian captives before fleeing from attacking government forces. Both Incidents occurred near Vlnh Long, in the Mekong Delta GO miles southwest of Saigon.

In once incident, four civilians wore found chained together. Two had teen shot to death and the others gravely wounded. In Operation Prairie a few miles below the demilitarized zone, two companies of the 4th Marine Regiment which had been surrounded by North Viet, namese on Friday got out of the trap Sunday with the help of reinforcements. The trapped companies and the reinforcement unit fought their way out at close quarters, a U.S. spokesman reported.

He said at times the Marines and North Vietnamese were only 30 feet apart and "lobbing hand grenades at each other." The fighting took place miles north of the "Rock Pile," the craggy mountain of solid rock which dominates the area and scene of major fights earlier in Operation Prairie. The Marines reported killing 171 North Vietnamese in the battle since late last week, capturing 15 weapons and numerous mortar rounds, helmets, field packs, grenades and other equipment. A U.S. spokesman said Marine casualties were light in the "Rock Pile" battle. Butoffi.

cers at the scene said they we re moderate, meaning the two companies were hit hard. Also in Operation Prairie, a unit of the 7th Marine Regiment uncovered a North Vietnamese camp several miles northwest of Thon Son Lam. The Marines found enemy equipment so scattered that it indicated a hasty evacuation of the equipment seized were small arms and mortar ammunition and car. Since Operation Prairie began Aug. 3, the Marines reported Wiling 468 North Vietnamese and capturing three.

Mr Force F105 Thunderchlefs encountered 11 MIG17s Sunday In a series of sparring clashes and sightings. Li two of the encounters the MIGs made firing passes but scored no hits, a U.S. spokes, man said.
