Hawaii Group Bound For Alabama March JOHNSON CITY Tex. (UPI) President Johnson gave "careful study" yesterday to Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace's request for Federal financing of National Guard protection of a voting rights march Sunday. Johnson is expected to reply today.

Press Secretary George E. Reedy told newsmen Johnson had "received Gov. Wallace's telegram and has given the Alabama situation very careful study all afternoon." President Johnson's press conference at the LBJ ranch -will be broadcast "live" from Johnson City, Texas, for Island listeners at 7 a.m. today over stations KGU and KHVH. KGU will rebroadcast the program at 7:30 p.m.

today. "He has talked to officials in Washington Bill Moyers, the Attorney General and others," Reedy said. Moyers is one of Johnson's chief special assistants, and Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach is in charge of the government's civil rights activities.

Wallace's funds request was based on a resolution enacted by the Alabama legislature. Wallace said he wanted to maintain law and order in the prospective five-day 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, but the state could not bear the expense of mobilizing the National Guard. Reedy declined comment on a report that the 2nd Infantry Division, at Fort Ben-ning, had been alerted for duty in the Alabama situation. He referred newsmen to the Defense Department. Nor would he offer any other details about Johnson's reaction to the Wallace request repeating, instead, that Johnson's reply would come at a televised news conference today.

Wallace wired the President yesterday at his LBJ Ranch that the Federal government should pay for protection of the marchers because Alabama was financially unable to do so. This appeared to open the way for the President to federalize the state National Guard and use militiamen along the route. Press Secretary George E. Reedy told newsmen: "The President of course will do whatever is indicated by the circumstances." Wallace, in a telegram to Johnson yesterday, had said 6171 men, 489 vehicles and 15 buses would be needed to See LBJ on A-2 Col. 1 skying A 30-year-old A 30-year-old man was shot and killed on a Kai- muki street corner last night in the aftermath of a barroom argument.

At a meeting of the Hawaii Civil Rights Conference at the East-West Center yesterday afternoon, Campbell told the group that "Selma has the capability of becoming a real sore that could affect the entire nation.

The only damage to the Air Force planes from North Vietnamese ground fire was "one small hole" in the wing of one aircraft, said Maj. Gen.

Joseph Moore, U.S. Air Force commander in Viet Nam. Moore said about 60 Air Force fighters and bombers and 60 to 70 U.S. Navy planes participated in the attack against the Bien Son supply depot and an ammunition dump about 35 miles north of Vinh. Anti-aircraft fire was "light and he said.

Bombs, rockets and cannon fire was used to destroy 15 to 20 buildings in the target areas. Moore said the Air Force armada was land-based. Napalm bombs also were used in the raid. North Viet Nam and Communist China claimed that three U.S. planes were downed in the air strike.

"The army and people put up a heroic fight," the Vietnamese army high command said in a communique on the attack. "This criminal U.S. act of war, like others in the past, met with well-deserved punishment from the Vietnamese peoples armed forces," the Communist Chinese New China News Agency quoted Hanoi Radio. The Hanoi Reds protested the air raid to the international commission on Viet Nam, charging the U.S. planes "chose villages, markets and river-landing stages as targets for their bombing and They also claimed the.

They were called to Pence's chambers at 4 p.m. yesterday to discuss the matter. Although Pence and the two Mainland judges on the panel preserved the proper judicial silence, it was obvious that one phase of the plan would force them to establish a precedent in reapportionment cases. This was the decision of the Legislature to give the control of 40 per cent of the Senate 10 seats to Oahu's 5th District, and nine seats to Oahu's 4th. A 10-seat district was turned down in a case in SELMA, Ala.

Spring is the time of year when the sun crosses the equator on its way north, according to a University of Michigan astronomer.

"It will rise and set almost exactly at the east and west points," explained Hazel M. Losh. Contrary to popular belief, day and night hours will not be exactly of equal length, she, said. "Because of the refraction or bending of the sun's rays by the earth's atmosphere, the sun may be seen a few minutes before it actually comes over the horizon." Night and day are more nearly equal, she added, three days before the equinox. Spring will come nearly six hours later than last vear because of the difference between calendar days (365) and the time the sun actually takes to travel around the earth 365.2422 days, Prof.
