The North Vietnamese are reported to have concentrated four divisions, or about 40,000 against U.S. attack planes. As recently as April 3 Secretary of Defense Robert S.

President Johnson, French President Charles de Gaulle and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson headed the foreign visitors who assembled in the great hall of the West German Bundestag for the memorial service that began the funeral rites for the founder of postwar West Germany. fulfil1; fiLPH jl l. od To Modest it, telling her mother, "We are tired of being embarrassed by showing too much."

He said "the loss in U.S. lives will be less if we pursue our present target policy than they would if we were to attack those fields." But he added that the policy could change. In New York Monday, Gen. William C.

Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Vietnam who addressed a meeting of The Associated Press, said he was de lighted with the attack on the bases. "It is true that MIGs could take sanctuary in Red China," he said, "but they would be at a disadvantage. Their reaction time would be decreased and they would therefore be a lesser threat to our fighter bombers." Westmoreland said "the end is not in sight, and we must be prepared for more bitter fighting in days to come." His words contrasted sharply with those of retiring Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Westmoreland's diplomatic teammate in Saigon, who told the AP in earlier interviews that he thought the military war in South Vietnam would be substantially won this year and that the percentage of U.S. casualties would decline.

In line with Westmoreland's grim forecast several elements of escalation have developed in Carstens On Leave Tom Carstens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carstens of Harri son is home for a 15 day visit with his parents after being nee; Candidate School last week at Fort Eustis, Va.

He will return to Fort Eustis till July 22 when he reports to Fort Steward, for pilot training with the Fixed Wing Division. Kiesinger, speaking at the memorial service, called on the Germans to be worthy of the legacy the 91-year-old former chancellor had left them: the need to reunify Germany and Western Europe. Outside a bright spring sun beat down on the peaceful, tree-studded Rhineland hills, and in Cologne the remains of the old statesman rested in the cool gloom of the Cologne's great Roman Catholic Cathedral. Funeral services were to take place in the cathedral this afternoon, with burial following in the family plot at Rhoendorf, across the Rhine from Bonn. Kiesinger, speaking in a quiet but forceful manner, declared: "Konrad Adenauer never reached the promised land neither the reunification of Germans nor the unity of Europe.

He has left them to us as a great inheritance." He recalled the problems Adenauer faced when he came to office in 1949, a situation worse than any other German statesman ever faced. "When he left it, 14 years later, free Germany was a respected partner of free peoples," he said, "and it had him to thank above everyone. What good fortune." Already some progress has been made in discussions of mutual problems between West Germany and the United States. President Johnson, who arrived Sunday night, has talked with Kiesinger on such subjects as the proposed treaty to check the spread of nuclear weapons, mutual defense and the question of troop withdrawal from Western Europe. De Gaulle, personally the closest to Adenauer of the visiting leaders, was making his visit in Bonn the shortest.

Arriving just before the memorial service in the Bundestag, he was returning to Paris the same day. But even he delayed his departure to give time for a talk with Kiesinger after the funeral. Johnson scheduled another visit with Kiesinger Wednesday. Wilson was to meet Kiesinger after the funeral to talk about European and world affairs. Johnny Carson Returns NE WYORK (AP) Johnny Carson returned to NBC's "Tonight Show" Monday night, while Jack Paar was Joey Bishop's guest on ABC.

This made for a trying evening for the television fan who could not watch two shows at once. Carson, smiling and obviously in good spirits, bounced on stage to applause and cheers after a month's absence and asked "Is the strike over?" He referred jokingly on two occasions to an increase in salary under a new contract. "I feel guilty working just before Passover," he said. "You're supposed to eat unleavened bread and I came back for more dough." Later he complained about having to give so many interviews to reporters, adding that news stories made him out to be "a combination of Jack the Ripper and Dillinger who had sneaked in at night and held up NBC." After a few more mild cracks, Buddy Hackett came out and the show settled into its normal groove. Paar, in his first appearance as a guest on a carbon copy of the show he created, was amusing in his exchanges with Bishop on the proper handling of the host's job.

He did seem a little jumpy and ill at east, which led Bishop to suggest that "you're nervous enough to come back to this kind of job again." "I really don't miss any of Paar said, and you felt he really meant it. ities quietly confirmed its existence months ago. The ban ended today when U.S. Air Force F105 Thunder-chiefs struck a railroad repair yard 2V miles from the center of the city and an electric transformer site 7 miles from the center. The attacks had been foreshadowed Monday when U.S.

planes struck for the first time two airfields serving Soviet-designed MIG fighter planes. One of the most important elements of the policy of escalation in targeting, informants here agree privately, is the stone-wall stand which the government of President Ho Chi Minh has taken against any kind of peace moves. In the view of some officials the Hanoi tough line on peace proposals and the newest potential threat of direct mass invasion against South Vietnam have justified Johnson in stepping up bombing pressures on the North. This in turn presumably brought reconsideration of the no-strike circle around Hanoi. The forbidden zone was set up after worldwide uproar resulted from a mid-December strike against targets at Hanoi a railway yard and a truck park.

Policy makers conceded after the attack on MIG bases was i announced that this shift in U.S. targeting raised the question i whether the North Vietnamese might now seek to base some of the MIGs on fields in border regions of Communist China. I That in turn has raised the question which administration officials now call very speculative about whether the United States might feel itself compelled in time to attack MIG bases in China and whether this might force Red China into the war. Up to the last few days the danger of involving Red China was advanced by officials here as the major reason why there was no need to attack the MIG fields even though intelligence reports made it clear that the number of North Vietnam's fighters was growing. Officials, explaining the decision now to attack, say that in the last few weeks the MIGs have become much more active AUTHORIZED Pokorny D-5?

Porkorny urged approval of the emergency clause "to get out as many voters as possible to consider the important issues that are on the ballot." It was pointed out earlier that less than one-third of the state's voters are expected to turn out for the balloting.

Rep. Keith Mcnamara 64 Columbus, Franklin a co-sponsor, disputed Carpenter's claim that observance of the holiday would prevent marking even of absentee ballots by the deadline.

Carpenter and McNamara both noted the irony of the debate "between two irishmen," and House Minority Leader Frank R.

Police said faulty wiring under a carpet started the fire which did slight damage to the room. men, in the southern part df their country just across a dividing zone which is supposed to be demilitarized.

U.S. officials have been worried about the possibility of a direct, large-scale invasion of the northern provinces of South Vietnam; U.S. forces have been concentrated in defense opposite the North Vietnamese. A week ago United States planes hit power plants in North Vietnam's chief port Haiphong. The strike marked a new step in the bombing strategy In the North, carrying the war into a strategically important town.

Seaborne supplies move through Haiphong, although main arms shipments from the Soviet Union and China are reported to move overland through China. What some U.S. officials call the stone-wall stand of Ho Chi Minh developed as peace probes reached a climax last January. President Johnson wrote Ho asking talks and offering terms to halt the bombing. Ho rejected both.

The rejection did not surprise U.S. officials, though Johnson apparently had hoped that Ho would at least try to bargain and an exchange might be opened up. The real shocker to Johnson and Secretary of State Dean Rusk came in March when Ho made his exchange with Johnson public, an act that was read here as evidence of a triumph for the "hawk" viewpoint in Ho's inner circle. Johnson apparently wanted to refrain from attacks in or near Hanoi while peace probes were building up during the first two months of this year in the hope that the very lack of attacks would be accepted by the North Vietnamese as an evidence of how the conflict could be scaled down But today's attacks show the U.S. belief that this element of strategy should now be changed.
