Miss Duke told the Star-Bulletin today that she has. decided not to locate the center on Oahu.

It probably will be located somewhere else, but she wasn't prepared to say where at this point. Working through her Southeast Asian Art and Culture Corporation with headquarters New York City, she had planned to erect an Asian palace, a Thai village, Buddhist shrines and temples, and a museum of Oriental art, on 80 acres of land near Kane-Ohe. Her representatives in WASHINGTON (AP) The House overcame bitter bickering last night to pass the controversial $1.3 billion school aid bill. The 263-153 vote gave President Johnson his biggest legislative victory of the season. The party lineup: 223 Democrats and 35 Republicans for the measure; 57 Democrats and 96 Republicans against.

The bill, aimed primarily at helping school districts which serve children from impoverished families, now moves to the Senate, where Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana predicts quick action. House opponents used parliamentary devices and time-consuming votes to de SAIGON (AP) A massive explosion believed set off by Viet Cong frogmen today blew gaping holes in the hull of an American LST docked at a commercial pier at Da Nang. The blast by an estimated 500 pounds of high explosives injured one Japanese crewman slightly, caused intensive interior damage, and ripped a half dozen holes two to six feet in diameter in the hull. An official spokesman in Saigon said the LST (landing ship tank) was heavily damaged, but did not sink. The blast was touched off ed Viet Cong targets 50 miles northwest of Saigon today.

A U.S. military spokesman said there were no strikes against North Vietnam. U.S. sources said 15 Viet Cong were killed and 12 wounded and captured yesterday during a helicopter assault in Quant Tri Province, 400 miles north of Saigon. Two Vietnamese soldiers were killed and three wounded.

Two American enlisted men were burned slightly today when a U.S. Air Force observation plane accidentally fired two white phosphorous rockets during takeoff at Qui Nhon Air Base. The men were released after treatment. Two squadrons of marine warplanes are expected to be brought to Vietnam to support the leatherneck ground forces already here.

The Senate Education Subcommittee has completed its public hearings on the measure, and the chairman, Senator Wayne Morse, Democrat of Oregon, said he would call the group into closed session at the earliest convenient time, possibly next week, to start voting on it. The bill then will have to clear the full Labor and Public Welfare Committee. Sponsors predict that at least 90 per cent of the nation's 25,991 school districts will benefit from it.

The major provision of the bill authorizes $1.06 billion in aid next year based on a formula keyed to the number of children in each district from families with incomes of $2,000 or less. An additional factor, added in the House Education Committee, would allow aid for welfare families, even Turn to Page A-2, Col. 5 SAIGON (UPI) U.S. Ambassador MaxweU D. Taylor was flying to Washington today to press for more and bigger air attacks on Communist installations in North Vietnam.

The Ambassador is returning to sit in at a series of high-level conferences on the situation in Southeast Asia. He was due in Honolulu at 3:30 p.m. today for a two-hour stopover. The conferences are being held against a background of continued infiltration of men and arms from North Vietnam into South Vietnam and a Russian-instituted campaign of Communist threats to send "volunteers" from other countries into the embattled nation. American sources here say Taylor feels strongly that North Vietnam should be severely punished by South Vietnamese and American bombers before the U.S.

The company has development rights to the area and has already developed the Crown Terrace subdivision there. The 80 acres Miss Duke was interested in is up Haiku Road about a mile from Kamehameha Highway and beyond the Haiku Gardens restaurant.

It is a place of scenic enchantment. The Heeia Development Company became all ears. "It was a spectacular iilea," one of the officials said. "The whole concept was breathtaking. It would have been something of tremendous value to the State." He said Miss Duke hired the R.M.

Towill firm of engineers and surveys and architect Howard M. Y. Wong to work on the project. Wong was sent to Southeast Asia to freshen his creative thinking on how such a development should look. The engineers did topographic surveys and tentative plans were put on paper.

Viola Liuzzo outside the Dallas County Courthouse and at City Hall. Police made no attempt to interfere with either demonstration, the first to be held here since the windup of the massive Selma to Montgomery civil rights march. Mrs. Liuzzo, a Detroit mother of five, was killed by a sniper's bullet Thursday night while running a shuttle service for demonstrators who participated in the Montgomery march. The prayer service at the City Hall was conducted by a young Protestant minister in a torn Turn to Page A-2, Column 1 it it ir it it tion last November for possessing a sawed off shotgun.

The three released Klansmen were identified as Eugene Thomas, 43, of Bessemer, Alabama; William Orville Eaton, 41, also of Bessemer, and Gary Thomas Rowe, 31j of Birmingham. Rowe had to be restrained by F.B.I, agents when he tried to hit a news photographer. Thomas, Wilkins and Eaton were arraigned before U.S. commissioner Louise O. Charlton in Birmingham.

Rowe appeared before a commissioner in Selma. Flowers said he had contacted circuit solicitor Arthur E. Gamble, whose district includes Lowndes County, where the slaying occurred, and the state would press maximum charges "if it is a first degree murder case and from early reports it seems to be one." Governor George Wallace last night called the killing an "outrageous crime" and said such acts "will not be tolerated" in Alabama. Mrs. Liuzzc, wife of Teamsters union business agent Anthony J.

Liuzzo, had come to Alabama to participate in a huge civil rights grievance demonstration by 30,000 persons Thursday that climaxed a 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery. National guardsmen and Army military policemen called Turn to Page A-2, Col. 1 (Related story on Page B-2) MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI) Alabama authorities today apparently intend to seek the death penalty for four Ku Klux Klansmen arrested in the sniper slaying of a white woman civil rights worker. "There will be no sweeping under the rug or whitewashing of this case," said state Attorney General Richmond Flowers last night.

"We will ask for the maximum penalty if we get the evidence." The Klansmen were arrested by F.B.I, agents yesterday and U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach said at a Washington news conference with President Johnson "I think we've got the men we want." The group was charged with conspiring to violate the civil rights of Mrs. Viola Liuzzo, a 39-year-old Detroit mother of five who was shot to death Thursday night on U.S. Highway 80 while run-in shuttle service for civil rights demonstrators following a mass demonstration at the Alabama capitol. Three of the Klansmen were released under $50,000 bond each, apparently arranged by the United Klans of America.

The other Klansmen, Collie Leroy Wilkin, 21, of Fairfield, Alabama, was to be given a hearing on an additional charge of violating his probation.

Hopes of recovering Vietnamese territory and people from the Communists with a progressive pacification plan have been repeatedly smashed. There have been modest successes in some areas, notably in the Mekong River Delta. There have been severe setbacks in other areas, notably central Vietnam. On top of all this the Viet Cong has been getting stronger, both by recruiting and through massive recent infiltration of men and materiel.

The war on the ground seems to be going nowhere. By MALCOLM W. BROWNE SAIGON (AP) The U.S 7th Fleet and a scattering of air bases in Vietnam and Thailand look like the West's primary hope for bringing the bitter Vietnamese war to a conclusion. Vietnamese and American officials still are saying the war remains focused on ground fighting in the jungles of South Vietnam. A ranking official says: "After all there still are between and 100,000 Viet Cong in South Vietnam and the 7th Fleet can't do much about them."
