MOHBAT WASHINGTON (AP) The federal government has added, its influential voice to the mounting public debate over the rights of suspects being questioned by the police. Its view, as expressed by tha Justice Department to the Supreme Court: immediate questioning by police is a vital tool of law enforcement Confessions so obtained should be admitted in court unless it is proved they have been unconstitutionally compelled. While asking the high court to endorse the right of policemen to question their suspects, the department urged in a brief filed Thursday that the courts examine each case individually for possible violations of constitutional rights, rather than attempt to set forth a list of rules to apply to all cases. It was the Justice Department's first formal expression of opinion in a legal battle that has seen law enforcement officials castigate the Supreme Court for so tying their hands with constitutional limitations that they are unable to accomplish their foremost mission! fighting crime. CHICAGO UPSET The last major high court ruling was in the much publicized case of Danny Escobedo, whose Chicago murder conviction was overturned by the court because the police questioning him re fused to allow him to see his lawyer, who was in the police station at the time.

At the heart of the debate are two provisions of the Constitution's Bill of Rights: the Fifth Amendment's dictum that a defendant may not "be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself," and the Sixth Amendment's guarantee that an accused person shall have "in all criminal prosecutions" the right "to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." The government's view came to light in one of five cases before the court four state and one federal involving the use in criminal trial of self-incriminating statements in response to police or FBI questioning. Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall, who submitted the brief Thursday, will argue for the government when the court takes up the cases, probably next week. BEYOND CASE The government brief went far beyond the case at issue, in (See page 11, column 1) Gas Leaks; Bangor Plant Is Evacuated BANGOR A portion of Adams Electronics Co. plant here was evacuated today because of what South Haven state police said was an apparent leak in a gas line.

William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, today visited the jungle battleground where 2,500 American infantrymen and Australian soldiers hurled back a fierce pre-dawn Viet Cong assault Thursday. "You gave the enemy a sound defeat and I am proud of you," the general told his men from atop the hood of a jeep. "Your performance was in the highest spirit and professional conduct of U.S.

fighting men. I salute you." Meanwhile in Washington, the Senate debate over Viet Nam policy was moving toward a climax. With Sen. Wayne Morse, asking Congress to rescind the 1964 resolution that gave President Johnson a blank check to carry on what Morse calls an illegal war, the administration was mustering its forces for a resounding vote of confidence in the Senate next Monday. In Miami Beach, AFL- CIO leaders strongly applauded President Johnson's stand in Viet Nam and slapped at Sen.

Robert Kennedy's criticism of U.S. war policies. "I think he ought to read a little history," AFL-CIO President George Meany said of Kennedy's differ ences with the administration over Viet Nam policy points. CHURCH COUNCIL DISPUTE Controversy erupted at the National Council of Churches general board meeting in St. Louis, over reports that telephone calls by presidential press secretary Bill Moyers took the sting out of a resolu tion critical of U.S.

Viet Nam policy. Moyers and some council officials issued immediate denials, but the sources stuck to their report, made in the final hours of the three-day meeting of the national council's policy-making board. The board adopted what the sources said was a revised statement saying reconciliation and peace with justice must be the immediate as well as long-range goal of U.S. policy in Viet Nam. The Defense Department re ported 2,205 U.S.

servicemen have been killed in Viet Nam smce Jan. 1, 1961. and 10.725 have been wounded. The casualties for the week ending last Monday night were 97 Americans killed and 435 wounded. In Hanoi, the North Viet namese hardliners who refuse any Viet Nam negotiations appear to be firmly in control.

Meanwhile back in the United States, Dean Kermit Morrissey of, Brandeis University said a new government policy for determining student draft defer ments is "totally absurd" and seven professors say they may stop giving grades beacuse of it. At Harvard, Dean John U. Monro said that if a student asks the college not to send his record to his draft board, "I won't send it" 14-Year-Old Benton Girl Is Missing Glen Burton, 1057 Waukonda avenue, Benton township, re ported to township police Wednesday that his 14-year-old aaugnter, a had dis appeared, Burton told officers that the girl had left home Tuesday afternoon and had not returned.

The number of persons killed in Wednesday's coup that upset the regime of Gen. Amin Hafez, Syrian chief of have ranged from 300 to 1,000, ac-cording to estimates of Damascus residents and diplomats.

RULER WOUNDED Hafez was reported shot in the foot and taken to a military hospital under guard. Two of his daughters and a son also were reported wounded.

Witnesses reported seeing mass graves in a Damascus cemetery where victims of the uprising were buried.

Damascus, the capital of that nation of five million, was reported calm. But the travelers said the new rebel regime does not have the support of the military units in northern Syria.

Lawyers Meeting With Judge County Hospital Annex Dispute Berrien county's new legal representatives in the county hospital annex case, and other attorneys in the dispute, were to confer with Kalamazoo Cir cuit Judge Lucien Sweet at Berrien county courthouse this afternoon. i For the firm of Killian.

Also expected to attend the meeting are Charles Moon of the Detroit law firm representing Jefferson State Bank of Chicago, which has an interest in some of the annex facilities, and Rag-nar-Benson, contractor for annex construction, and Attorney Lee Boothby, who represents Doyle Associates, annex builder.

February Thrift Ads' End Feb. 28. Adv. rejected an application for veloping the project. State officials said they felt cost of the project would far exceed benefits gained, but indicated they would be willing to reconsider their ruling if continued urban development makes flood control in the Benton Harbor area a more serious problem, The project was designed to prevent floods such as those in the 1940's that sent waters of Ox creek over their banks and into downtown Benton Harbor, Damage from the floods ap proached the half million dollar mark, but no other serious flooding has occurrerd in the past 15 to 20 years.

Ron Church, work unit conservationist for the U.S.. Soil Conservation Service, said two bridges in Benton Harbor wert later removed. These had apparently restricted part of the water flow and their removal may have helped remedy "the problem. Application for the project was made last April, by the St. Joseph River Soil Conservation district, county drain commission and City of Benton Harbor.

Two alternative solutions were considered. One Involved build' ing of two dams in the south central part of Benton township. The other would have provided a diversion channel, taking excess water south into the St Joseph river. The Ox creek watershed is along Yore and Stoeffer drain from Spinks Corners to the south end of Ox creek near the intersection of Napier avenue and 1-94. From there it follows the.

creek north into Benton Harbor to the Paw Paw river. State officials said the dams, proposed for construction in sections 33 and. 34 of Benton township, would have required a total of 710 acre-feet of water storage area. Only about 200 acre-feet are available In the sections considered, officials said. The diversion project would have been a channel about 1V miles long, going south from about the point where Yore and Superior Steel Co.
