Two of the terrorists were armed with .45 caliber automatics.

Officials had already warned the capital to expect a new onslaught of terrorism in the next two weeks before the Vietna-1 mese new new-Tet-begins on Jan. 21. Last night they arrested five Vietnamese, aged 16- to 37, in an investigation of two explosions an hour apart at the military entrance to the Saigon airport and across town at a police substation. The blasts killed one Vietnamese and injured 16 persons, including four American servicemen. The ground fighting in South Viet Nam continued.

A U.S. Marine patrol sweepling a road for mines ran into a Viet Cong ambush six miles south of Da Nang and ly suffered moderate casualties. A Marine officer said 20 or 30 Reds opened up from both sides of the road with automatic weapons and hand grenades. The Marines returned the fire, killing two Viet Cong on the spot and another in a chase. They also captured a Chinesemade sub-machinegun.

U.S. military commanders announced that the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade would continue operations in the marshy Plain of west of Saigon where the paratroopers have been slogging through mud and water after the Viet Cong for the past week. It is the first big American invasion of the northern fringe of the Mekong Delta, a Communist stronghold. Although the Viet Cong fell back before the brigade's push, officials said the paratroopers would be kept in the area to destroy Communist supplies.

The Vietnamese troops will be withdrawn. A U.S. Air Force C130 Hercules transport loaded with 31,000 pounds of bombs and ammunition exploded as it was landing at Pleiku, in the central highlands.

Wirtz Says N.Y. Strike Still Serious (Continued from Page One) traffic again was heavy and there were delays getting into the city.

But it was a far cry from yesterday's monumental crush, which resulted in the worst traffic mess in the city's history. Wirtz, who sat with Lindsay at the televised news conference, was whether machine, he came with promise of federal funds to cut what Lindsay has termed a "wide gap" between funds offered by the authority and those demanded by the Transport Union and Amalgamated Transit Union. "As far as I know, there is none." Wirtz replied. Theodore Kheel, mediator in the dispute, said flatly that no federal funds were offered. Referring to Wirtz, he said, "he didn't bring any except what he had in his wallet it wasn't During Lindsay's meeting with Wirtz, Van Arsdale, president of the Central Labor Council, joined the discussion to request the release of Quill and the others jailed for contempt for refusing to obey a order barring a transit strike.

Van Arsdale said it was important to get the unions' "first team" negotiators back into bargaining. Quill, however, has been hospitalized since the time he was taken to jail. Two hours after being jailed on Tuesday, he suffered what possibly was a heart attack. Doctors said yesterday his condition remained serious but had improved. Van Arsdale visited Gov.

Nelson Rockefeller and said the governor "might well hold the key" to settlement of the strike. The union leader did not elaborate. in which the volunteers worked made progress 2.8 times greater than five similar areas in which there were no volunteers. Dr. Henry F.

The armed forces radio at San Isidro base just outside the capital broadcast statement saying military chiefs rejected the changes in the high command or the proposed transfers abroad. OTHERS TRANSFERRED Besides Rivera Caminero, those scheduled for transfer included army and air force chiefs of staff and two leading figures among the rebel constitutionalist forces, Col. Francisco Caamano Deno and Col. Manuel Ramon Montes Arache.

This gravest of all crises for the four-month-old provisional government began last Dec. 19 with a battle between army regulars and former rebel soldiers in Santiago, the country's second city, The rebel faction demanded that the president punish the military chiefs, charging they were responsible for the battle. The rebels have been demanding removal of the military chiefs ever since the revolution, accusing them of indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas. BOMBING DENIED The military denied the earlier bombing charge and also accused the rebels of starting the Santiago battle. After studying a report on the battle by a special commission, Garcia-Godoy announced Monday that the government could not in full justice place the blame on either side.

In an effort to appease both sides, he announced that about 30 military officers from both factions would be sent abroad on study and diplomatic missions. The rebels were enraged when it became known that only lesser officers would be sent away. Faced with the threat of a massive general strike and hints of violence, the president drafted a new list of 34 officers to be transferred abroad. The armed forces reacted last night.

Curt was already accepted by the Peruvians as a manly fellow, and the report says this accolade was firmly stamped on him by his ability to drink any Peruvian under the table. He did this on an occasion in Arequippa when a Peruvian group challenged the Peace Corps volunteers to a drinking match.

The volun- Progress Cited In Pakistani, Indian Confab By HENRY SHAPIRO TASHKENT, Russia. (UPI)Diplomatic sources said today India and Pakistan had made further progress toward a settlement of their dispute following an hour-long secret talk and further intervention by Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin. Indian Prime Minister La al Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Mohammad Ayub Khan greeted each other with a smile and a handshake as they what spokesmen called "cordial and pleasant" talks in a neutral villa in a suburb of this Central Asian capital. Then Kosygin met Shastri at a luncheon that lasted almost three hours, Afterward there were toasts to Indian-Soviet vate Kosygin- conference friendship followed, by prithat 30 minutes. Shastri.

Kosygin and Ayub Khan then attended the opera together. PRAYS FOR PEACE Ayub Khan, a Moslem, went to a mosque in this predominantly Moslem city this afternoon and prayed for peace, a Pakistani spokesman reported. A meeting scheduled yesterday between Shastri and Ayub Khan was postponed while Kosygin held private talks with each. Later there were reports the men were nearing agreement on an agenda for their summit talks which have been stymied through Pakistan's insistence that Kashmir be discussed and Indian refusal to do so. The private meeting today was seen as an attempt to seal an agreement on the agenda.

This would mean that the conference- to find some SOlution to the Kashmir crisis could finally get down to busi, ness. Today's talks followed reports that the two countries have made substantial progress at their meetings alone and with Kosygin and may sign a nonaggression pact within the next few days. Diplomatic sources said the two leaders are considering an agreement to withdraw their troops from both countries to the line prior to war last September. In addition, the sources said, India and Pakistan will resume diplomatic relations and meet again at another summit conference within six months. Spokesmen for the two countries exuded confidence at the pace of the summit talks, despite the unlikelihood of any Kashmir settlement, the most critical issue.

57 Cars Of FEC Derailed (Continued from Page One) how long railroad traffic would be delayed. In Jacksonville, the state public Service Commission assembled evidence from its hearings in 11 cities on whether the FEC should be made to resume full passenger service. At the last of the hearings yesterday no one showed up to argue resumption of service by line. The FEC fore resumed passenger service along its Jacksonville-to-Miami route last Aug. 2 on a limited basis.

Railroad attorneys went ahead during an afternoon session before the commission rebutting the need for full service. They argued that the present once-a-day service each way is bringing the line an average of only 17.0 passengers per train per day, or a total of $75.95 train in revenue, compared to expenses of $252.63 per train for crew salaries alone. The railroad resumed service on a limited basis under a court order. The Public Service Commission had ordered resumption of full scale passenger service, but the State Supreme Court held the need for this had not been proven. Rep.

(AP) Atty. Gen. Earl Faircloth formally announced today as a candidate for a new term. Commenting on speculation that he might run for the U.S. Senate in 1968, Faircloth said he had no present plans other than to serve out the full fouryear term, if he wins in this year's primaries and general election.

"Of course, no one can look into the seeds of time and see which one will grow," he added. Faircloth, former Miami attorney and Dade County state ate representative, is currently serving a twoyear term which he won in 1964 by a margin of 599 votes over former Atty. Gen. James Kynes. IN CABINET Faircloth, as attorney general, sits on the sevenman State Cabinet which operates the executive branch of the Florida government.

Three other members of the Cabinet, Gov.

"Curt then picked up the Peruvian and carried him outside to recover, In a country which claims to have the highest per capita consumption, of alcoholic beverages the world, this was no mean feat. Indeed, this was a demonstration of a 'skill' that is highly regarded in masculine circles in Peruvian society." In measuring the achievements of the 50 volunteers in attracting Peruvians into improving their social and economic standards, the report rated Curt among the highest.

The report also had a section on what it calls "female narcissism," which the dictionary defines as the "erotic feeling about one's body and "Physical behavior by a few young Peace Corps volunteers that proved provocative to others created a certain number of inefficiencies among other volunteers and in relationship with male Peruvians," the report said. Audrey and Annabelle, who "forms of sexual displayed, are near the bottom of the list of volunteers in terms of institution-building achievement, the report. said. Annabelle never made any significant contribution and devoted a great portion of her time "to grooming and personal beautification." Audrey, given close and persuasive supervision, did make some positive contribution. "An example of the kind of positive use this young lady could make of her flirtatious behavior was to charm the elderly gentleman in charge of the government ministerial archives in Lima into putting out the effort required to locate certain documents wanted in connection with the program to which she was assigned, when males seeking them were unable to talk the archivist into 11 the report said.

R. Sargent Shriver, head of the Peace Corps, said the report is the first objective scientific validation of the successes of the corps. Carnival Gambling Shut Down (Continued from Page One) he opens a new location. The carnival owner nets 5-8 per cent. Carnival owners throughout the state (there are about 35 who winter in Florida) are stirring over the ban, said Royal.

"We have to do something or forget it," he said. Faircloth's opinions do not have the force of court rulings. But until they're court tested and changed, they remain the legal guidelines for state officials. Games of chance and lotteries, are a constitutional ban in Florida. Royal, Chief Donath and Sheriff Michell say that carried to extreme, Faircloth's opinion outlaws golf tournaments, bowling league prize competiton and church bazaars.

Meanwhile, the irrepressible carnivals continue to flourish outside Broward. Two are operating in Dade, one at Florida City, the other at the Miami Gardens Shopping Center. "Why don't they shut them down?" asked a miffed carnival man in Broward. Airliner Skids Into Snowbank ANCHORAGE, Alaska.

There were no injuries reported among the 20 passengers and 13 crew members aboard. Klan Gets Ultimatum: Documents, Or Else (Continued from Page One) fused to supply subpoenaed records would reconsider, and that future witnesses would "carefully weigh any decision to flaunt the U.S. Congress." The sudden announcement of the contempt recommendations came along with a new method of quizzing Klan witnesses which proved to be a shot in the arm for the flagging investigation. The subcommittee handled eight witnesses, nearly double its normal daily pace, by summarizing their evidence into a few questions, rather than asking individual questions and receiving individual claims of 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination. In other developments yesterday, the subcommittee called for federal prosecution for distributors of leaflets in Baton Rouge, urging White people to fight "niggers," IN MAIL BOXES The leaflets are being left in mail boxes and this, in the subcommittee view, is a violation of federal law.

The leaflets were purported to be United Klan Productions.

He Laird, chairman of the House Republican Conference, criticized the administration several last year for not includtimes, the budget submitted a year ago for the fiscal year ending June 30 "a single dollar for the increased activities in Viet Nam." He contended the reason for the omission was to create a false impression of an expenditure budget below $100 billion, "a mirage that has already been shot full of holes."
