(Delephoto Craft) No Hearing For 3 Who Wouldn't Go WASHINGTON (AP) Three Ai'my privates who were court- martialed after they refused to be shipped to Vietnam were denied a hearing today by the Su- prime Court. However, two of the justices suggested that the case Di -esents "questions of great magnitute." Justices Potter Stewart and William O.

Douglas said that among the questions which the case which they said the court should have whether present United States militai-y activity is in fact a war vvitiiin the meaning of the Constitution and, if so, wliether the President may constitutionally order the three "to participate in that military activity wlien no war lias been declared by the Congress." The court voted 6-2 not to hear the case, with Justice Thurgood Marshall taking no part. The three privates claimed that had they obeyed oiders them to Vietnam they would have been guilty of wai" crimes. Thus, they contended, the orders were illegal. The three are Dennis Mora, 26, of New Yorlt City; David A. Samas.

21, of Modesto, and James Johnson, 21, of New City. While stationed at Ft. Hood, in June 1966 they received ordei-s to report to Oakland, for deployment to Vietnam. Douglas and Stewart wrote separate dissenting opinions. Douglas said "a host of problems is raised.

FKACOCK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Scores of cities will elect mayors Tuesday, with balloting in at least three of them closely tied to the race issue.

A federal court may decide today whether voters in Gary, even will go to tlie polls as scheduled. If the steel town does vote, state police and National Guardsmen are ready to move in because of apprehensions of racial disorder. Richard G. Hatcheri Negro Democratic nominee, charged in a suit filed last Tuesday that 5,000 names of Negroes iiad been T'emoved from the voting rolls and 4,000 phony names of whites inserted. He blamed the county Democratic organizatiwi whose candidate lost to him in the party primary.

Hatcher asked the U.S.' District Court to correct this or halt the election. Since his suit was filed, the county elections board has restored thousands of names which had been erased from the rolls. A three-judge panel was to convene at Hammond. today to consider Hatcher 's complaints. Fiom Boston in the East to San Francisco in tlie West a host of cities and towns will be picking mayors.

If elected, Stokes would be the first Negro chosen mayor of one of the larger U.S. cities by popular vote. Boston The question is whether Mrs.

Louise Day Hicks, a 47-year-old grandmother, can make it all the way to the top. She led a field of 10 in a prelimi- election, getting strong support in working and middle-class areas where there was applause for her stand as a school committee member against busing Negro children to white schools outside their home neighboriioods. Her opponent is Kevin H. White, 38, now secretary of state. The election is nohpaiti- san.

Both candidates are Democrats. Attorney Arlen Specter, a onetime Democrat who switched parties, is the Repubb'can nominee against Mayor James H.Tate, leader of one faction of a split Democratic party. Victory for Specter would be a major Republican coup in the year before the presidential election.

After a few days of precise maneuvering, the satellite is to take up permentnt station above ttiG mouth of the Amazon River.

Artillery and tank fire punctuated the predawn stillness on the Israeli-Jordanian cease-fire line Sunday, marking the third border clash in three weeks be- the two countries. An Israeli army spokesman said Jordanian guns opened up to cover Arab saboteurs who blew up a building at a farm settlement and were trying to cross the Joraan River to safety.

Jordan charged that Israel opened the two-hour artillery duel by firing on homes in the Ghor area of northern Jordan. No fatalities were reported on either side. Hussein meets with Secretary of State Dean Rusk in Washington today and with President Johnson Wednesday. The king said that in his talks with Rusk and Johnson, "I am going to expose the Arab position as it stands now. I think it is a reasonable one and represents a very, very tremendous change from earlier positions." Arab counU'ies have refused to recognize Israel's right to exist and have maintained that the i 1943 state of war has never end- ed.

Air Force Phantom jet shot down two MIGs that came up to challenge them. The storage area that came under attack had been on the Pentagon's out-of-bounds Hst. The downing of the two Korean War-vintage MIGlTs by the fastest plane the Air Force has, brought to 98 the number of MIG kills for American airmen in battles over North Vietnam. The United States has lost 26 planes to MIGs. Tlie announcement came after the command repprted that U.S.

Force jets had raide the Gia lliuong storage area less than a mile north of the Gia Lam air base, which is across the Red River from the heart of Hanoi and is North Vietnam's main civilian air field. Credited with bringing down the two MIGs were Capt- Darrell D. Simmonds, 33, of Vernon, the' aircraft commander, and 1st Lt. George H. McKiriney 24, of Besse- mier, the.pilot.

A U.S.

He said the American bombs impacted on the buildings and on antiaircraft sites protecting the area.
