2-A Sppt. 11, 1963 The Sithevepoht Times One Will Stay Down Americans' Evacuation Is Delayed have made their way on their own overland from Lahore to Rawalpindi. At least 16 Americans have crossed through the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan. Most of the Americans to be evacuated by air would be wives, children and some "nonessential" U.S. diplomatic and foreign aid personnel.

essed by U.S. authorities and ready for evacuation. There were about 900 Americans in the city of Lahore and some 2,000 American construction workers at a U.S. aid dam construction site in the Lahore area. The construction men were reported in no danger.

Underwater visibility, which has been up to 60 feet, was down to 10 feet Friday as the aquanauts made their excursions from the Sealab habitat. They checked the underwater weather station, now in operation, and conducted extensive scientific observations and One of the aquanauts was test LA JOLLA, Calif. MWThe first phase of the Navy's Sealab 2 underwater living project is about to end. On Sunday 9 of 10 aquanauts who have lived 205 feet undersea since Aug. 28 will surface.

But they can't just pack a suitcase and leave. A quick swim up would probably be fatal after their 15 days under pressure equal to seven atmospheres, officials said. That's why they were taking care Friday to see that the personnel transfer capsule that will lift them to the surface is in good condition. The capsule, a steel chamber attached by cable to the support ship, will be used to maintain pressure on the aquanauts until they can be transferred to a decompression chamber on the ship's deck. 36-HOIR PROCESS It will take about 36 hours of slow decompression before they can be exposed to sea level atmosphere.

Officials said the aquanauts were checking the transfer capsule for leaks today to make certain it will maintain pressure on the way up. Supporting cables and fittings were inspected as was the emergency air supply and the air pressure hose to the surface ship. Gear and scientific equipment used by the first team is being collected and readied to be sent ing an electrically-heated wet suit. stan on Tuesday, and again Wednesday, for the clearances. Officials said that so far Pakistan has not granted them, although it has not stated any flat refusal.

The clearance delay held up plans to initially evacuate up to 900 Americans from Lahore in West Pakistan and possibly 600 more from Dacca in East Pakistan. No Americans were reported in any immediate serious danger. None was reported injured. For several days the United States has had evacuation planes standing by in Iran. Pakistan was understood to have raised a question whether U.S.

evacuation planes would be able to refuel at Pakistani airports. Pakistan presumably wants to keep all the fuel it can for military uses. This raised the possibility that evacuation planes might have to be refueled in the air. Apparently there was no U.S.-supplied aviation fuel on hand at Pakistani airports. What there was had been commercially imported by Pakistan.

In Dacca some 600 Americans, out of roughly 900 in the area, were reported to have been proc Capt.

By RONALD I. DEl'TSf SAIGON. Viet Nam U.S. Air Force B52s, making their fourth announced raid in a week and their 21st of the Viet Nam war, bombed a suspected Viet Cong stronghold in the Central Highlands of South Viet Nam Friday, a U.S.

military spokesman reported. Reliable informants said the strike was carried out against what was believed to have been a Viet Cong communications center 30 miles northwest of the town of Quang Ngai, about 325 miles northeast of Saigon. They said other aircraft followed up the B52 raid and helicopters then ferried U.S. and Vietnamese troops into the target area. Military spokesmen, under security regulations, gave no details.

But informants said the troops found communications wire and crude bamboo structures and spotted a number of Viet Cong fleeing. One body was found. No American or Vietnamese casualties were reported.

Goldberg said the United States has offered to negotiate unconditionally on restoration of peace in Viet Nam but thus far has received no answer from North Viet Nam. Concerning admission of Red China to the United Nations, Goldberg asserted that Red China is keeping itself out of the world assembly by its belligerent attitude toward all peace-loving kind.

"We did beautifully today," Mrs. Barbara Pitts, spokesman for the Roxbury-North Dorchester committee for better schools, said Friday as committee workers reported on successful transfers. The program, termed "Operation Exodus" by the parents, began Thursday with the first day of school in Boston.

It had a dual objective: to protest crowded conditions in their neighborhood schools, and to get around the school committee's refusal to provide buses for the children transferred. "This program has absolutely nothing to do with racial imbalance," Mrs. Pitts said. "If we had good schools in our neighborhoods, we'd be delighted to keep our children near home." Mrs. Hicks called the transfer project "camouflage for the true issue, that leaders of this movement feel that schools in Boston must be racially balanced." Mayor John F.
