Eastland, claims that the war in Vietnam "is a plaything and American boys are paying with their lives." Eastland made the charge here Friday. In a talk before the 33rd annual convention of the Mississippi Municipal Association, Eastland said he favors stepping up air attacks on North Vietnam in an effort to force surrender. Lt. Gov. 'Charles Sullivan, in an earlier talk, told the convention that history is made so rapidly nowadays the "presidential election this year could be the most important in over a century, perhaps the most important in this country's history." "If we continue our present fiscal policy of the incumbent president, this country could be come financially insolvent," he said.

Gov. Williams- (Continued from page 1) have to ratify the Budget Com mission's recommendation that $52 million be appropriated for higher education over the next two years. The governor said he still hopes that the legislature wil produce enough new reve nue to give colleges and junior colleges some extra money. Williams said he did not share the feeling of some legislators that a special session later in the year is certain, but he conceded that one might be necessary. The medicaid program, a federal medical-assistance program for needy people for which the state must provide some money, "will require more study and thought than we could have given it at this session," he said.

Transfusion ruled by judge for baby of Jehovah's Witnesses NEW ORLEANS (AP) A judge has ruled that, despite the parents religious objections, little Tammy LaBella should receive blood transfusions as necessary when she undergoes surgery. Juvenile Court Judge Leon Blessing made the ruling at the request of the child's physician. Tammy, eight: months old, required surgery for a punctured esophagus.

The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony J. LaBella, are members of Jehovah's Witnesses and objected to the possibility of blood transfusions being involved in the operation. Judge Blessing cited U.S.

Nelson A. Rockefeller called a press conference at which he acknowledged that Richard M. Nixon "has a substantial block of delegates" lined up in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. But Rockefeller maintained he can overtake the former vice president and win the job himself. "In the last week my campaign has really taken off," Rockefeller told a news conference.

He said people are responding to his programs "as against the old politics." Among Republicans, Rockefeller said, "The atmosphere now is hang loose." He offered no estimate of Nixon's current delegate count but said it is not enough for nomination. Rockefeller said he now has over 250 delegates in his own column. The New York governor said he faces a dilemma in seeking support of favorite son governors from major industrial states. He said their endorsements would give him momentum but also would free some delegates who would switch to support of Nixon. "There is a delicate balance here," he said.

I .11 I of Brewer. of the 'Bama Ellis) Sears is FATHERS' Night laci is Tonight four Tonight 10' Paris Stalemate in peace talks continues By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER AP Special Correspondent PARIS (AP) At the end of five weeks, the peace talks between the United States and North Vietnam rested on dead center today. Neither side showed any sign of making a concession that could break the stalemate. The next meeting between Ambassadors W.

Averell Harri-man of the United States and Xuan Thuy of North Vietnam is scheduled for Wednesday following a week-long recess. During the recess Harriman will consult with his advisers here and keep in touch with policy-makers in Washington. Since last Wednesday's meeting, which produced another round of argument over how to de-escalate the war, Thuy and his delegation have been silent, but claims of military victory and eventual triumph for the North Vietnamese cause continue to be heard from Hanoi. The latest came Friday from Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap in an interview with the Algerian newspaper El Moudja-hid. Giap was quoted as saying the battles now going on in South Vietnam are comparable to the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 in which his forces defeated the French.

U.S. officials believe the stream of victory claims coming out of Hanoi in recent weeks may be designed in part to boost the fighting spirit of the Communist forces in the South. They also believe the verbal barrage is aimed at convincing world opinion that the United States and its allies are losing the war and should therefore negotiate a surrender in Paris. The issue on which Harriman and Thuy have been deadlocked from the beginning is North Vietnam's demand that the United States stop all attacks on its territory and the U.S. coun- terdemand that North Vietnam must also scale down military operations.

Carnes cattle missing or stolen or both Sheriff Gene Walters said today he and his deputies hold little hope of finding 13 head of cattle reported missing from the farm of Mrs. Ida Bounds of Carnes. Walters said Mrs. Bounds told him today the cattle disappeared a month ago. The animals are of the "rake straw" variety, the sheriff said.

James Taylor Hardin, com- general of Alabama's Johnson gives new gun bill 'top priority' By FRANCES LEWINE Associated Press Writer AUSTIN, (AP) Presi-tdent Johnson launched today a "top priority" effort to get Con-" gress to pass a gun control bill that would cover shot guns and rifles as well as hand weapons. He plans to leave "no stone unturned in trying to get this bill passed," Presidential aide Joseph A. Califano said today after conferences with the President at the LBJ Ranch for the past several days. The President also moved to get states and cities to formulate model gun control laws so there can be an effective "network of legislation" to control guns on the national, state and local levels. Califano said there has been "an extraordinary public display of support for the President's gun control bill," sent to Congress after the assassination of Sen.

Robert F. Kennedy, Califano reported more than letters "a fantastic amount of mail on gun control in the past couple of weeks" running 11 to 1 in favor of the President's position, particularly a prohibition on the mail order sale of long guns and rifles.

Because of the shelling, the Australian and Japanese embassies advised their nonessential civilian residents to leave Saigon.

But the United States and France, which have the largest number of civilians in South Vietnam, did not issue evacuation notices.
