It marked the eighth change of government in the war-torn country since strongman Presi dent Ngo Dinn Diem was over thrown and assassinated less than 20 months ago. Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat and Chief of State Phan Kbac Suu, who had clashed over a Cabinet shakeup, agreed to stay on in caretaker roles with other members of the govern ment. But the National Charter and the Legislative Council were eliminated and a highly placed source said that "at this point we are starting absolutely from scratch." Situation Fluid Although the situation was still fluid, Maj.

Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu was serving as a spokesman for the military leaders. Thieu was deputy prime minister and defense minister in the Quat cabinet. Brig. Gen.

Nguyen Cao Ky, the flamboyant commander of the Vietnamese air force, also was viewed as having a strong voice. But there were no clues as to what form the new government would take. The sten-down was announced in a lomt commumaue bv Oust. Suu. and the National Leeisla- tive Council after a night meet ing oetween top Vietnamese military and political figures.

It came after three weeks of mounting Dressure for Ouat's resignation from Roman Catho- ucs ana otner dissident ments. A men government source emphasized that the develop ment snouia not be interpreted as another coup. Turned to Generals In the face of growing oddosI- tion, Quat this week had turned to the generals to help solve the crisis. The source said he believed the generals had been reluctant to step into the situa tion, but agreed to take over because of a sense of responsi bility they felt stemmed from the Nov. 1, 1963 military coud it 1 T1 JJ 1 Ti uiai uusieu rresiaeni uiem.

Asked if there was any possi bility of a return to complete civilian government in the fore seeable future, the source said: "The problem right now is to win the war." The source said Friday night's decision "represented progress" and, despite the vague state of affairs, "there is no instability." Authorities said no martial law had been imposed, but noted that street demonstrations are banned under the state of emergency that has existed for nearly a year. Three government marine battalions, about 1,500 men, had been posted in the capital as security as the military leaders met with Quat Friday. The capi tal appeared normal, although more police than usual patroled the streets this morning. A massive Catholic anti-Quat demonstration had been planned today, but it was called off. Flood Survivor Citrates Claim 16 Lives Lost Search for 15 Missing Cloudburst Sends 15 Foot Water Wall Over Town SANDERSON.

Tex. (AP) Damage wrought by a flash flood which devastated this picturesque southwest Texas town and took at least 16 lives was estimated today at $2 million. Search continued for 15 other persons, reported missing after an 11-inch cloudburst sent a wall of water rolling over the town Friday. The damage estimate was made by Rep.

"In spite of all the progress we have made and will make in the month's ahead we must never rest on our aceomnlish G-oncsy said. "It is your job-the job of everyone of you here today to tell the people what we really are doing." The postmaster general addressed a luncheon of county officials at the Democratic State Convention. He noted that the framework for the modern Dem ocratic party in this state was assembled in Green Bay lt years ago. "Truly we have come a long way since the dark days of the late 40s and early 50s here la Wisconsin," he said. "And iff oart of a national oattern." The former Wisconsin tax commissioner detailed the "remarkable" accomplishments of the Johnson administration but said he did not believe the President would be "best remembered" for his economic programs.

"I believe, ultimately, the hallmark of Lyndon Johnson will his refusal to be lulled into 1 sense of complacency by the very prosperity that he has created," Gronouskl said. SAIGON, Viet Nam (AP) -Renewed fighting flared tonight outside Dong Xoai between 500 Viet Cong guerrillas and a Vietnamese airborne battalion, a U.S. military spokesman said. Air Force pilot was killed when enemy ground fire in the area, 60 miles north of Siagon, downed his F100 Supersabre jet The source said the 7th Air borne Battalion an estimated 450 men was under heavy at tack and apparently retreating toward Dong Xoai. It had been pressing the Viet Cong back after a bloody battle Thursday and Friday.

Heavy Fighting Three companies in the bat talion went to the aid of a fourth that was reported heavily en gaged with the Viet Cong about two miles north of Dong Xoai. The downed American pilot was flying in support of the government troops. Witnesses said he ejected before the plane crash and his parachute apparently opened. However, a U.S. Army heli copter sent to evacuate him re ported he was dead.

He was the 410th known U.S. casualty of the war, but the total may go high er where final results of the fighting at Dong Xoai are known. Three Americans are known dead and 15 are missing. In the air. U.S.

They de Taylor Heads for Saigon Will Remain WASHINGTON (AP) U. Ambassador Maxwell D. Taylor heads back to Saigon tonight with U. S. determination to re main in Southeast Asia unshaken by rising political and mili tary pressures.

After consultations with the President, his top State and Defense department advisers, and congressional leaders, Taylor was to carry President John son's counsel to the Vietnamese military who have taken power back into their Hands in Saigon. Administration officials indi cated the political change would not slacken the war effort. Notice Served Top American authorities did not look on the present political crisis in Saigon in the same way as tney nave tne outright coups in tne past. This was because Premier Phan Huy Quat had served no tice earlier that he had called the military in to mediate a constitutional impasse between himself and the chief of state, opresident Fham Khac Suu. The latest word from Saigon Friday night was that Quat, 5uu and other members of the civilian government resigned but agreed to stay on in care taker roles.

Taylor and other government leaders appeared far more con cerned with the military test with the Viet Cong developing during ine current rainy season, Sharp Fighting Taylor predicted sharp fight ing over tne next two months The pattern of Communist attack in recent battles apparently is designed to achieve quick tactical advantage by su-j penor numoers over smaller forces, rather than to hold any specific territory. The Communists have pulled their attacks with the advantage of surprise in places of their own choosing. but it is held unlikely that the Viet cong will be able to hold positions for ay length of time It is expected that initial re ports will reflect government losses, officials said, while longer period of time will be re quired before the enemy losses are known and reoorted. But this type of fighting will exact very neavy casualties among the Viet Cong, it was predicted nere. Taylor Briefs Businessmen NEW YORK (AP) U.S.

from the garage. The water was over my head then. Rushing Water I could see the water rushing out there, turning over cars like they were toys. I tried to get on the roof of the motel but I couldn't pull myself up. Finally I turned loose.

I thought I was going to die. It washed me about 300 yards, turning me over and over. I caught a hold of a telephone pole and straddled it. A car washed in and pinned me to the pole. I looked back and saw all of the Johnson kids up on top of the motel.

John had put them up on the roof through a back win dow. The motel started crumbling and it went over and everybody was gone. I knew the kids would die and I couldn't help them. Nobody could help them: Then the water started splashing over my head and I turned loose of the pole. I went about a quarter of a mile and I was able to touch ground.

I found two of the Johnson children. They were both dead, and Virgil I. Grlssom to lieutenant colonel. Grissom was command pilot for the first manned Gemini mission. Cooper is scheduled to command a seven-day mission in late August.

Gov. Patrick J. Lucey has pledged his party to the job of pitching out Republican Gov Warren P. Knowles and ending politically divided government in Wisconsin. "I believe that the people of Wisconsin are sick and tired of divided government," Lucey said Friday in his keynote speech to the Democratic state convention.

"Our duty as political party is to prove ourselves worthy of the public full and complete confidence in 1966." Lucey took a bead on the man who holds the executive office he1 would like to claim next election and the convention loved the vo cal barrage. "Leadership is gone," he said. 'The east wing of the Capitol has become a ceremonial cham ber, fit only for cutting ribbons, issuing proclamations, and ap pointing study committees." Delegates applauded Lucey's parody on the 1964 Republican campaign slogan "Had Enough?" which called for an end to six years of Democratic rule in the governor's office. 'Enough of Regime' "The people of Wisconsin have already had enough of this re gime which was elected on a campaign of fraud and deceit and is trying to perpetuate it self with ad agency tricks and public relations gimmicks," he said. From Democratic state chair man Louis Hanson came a report on the party's robust condi tion for the election job ahead "Our general membership stands at its highest point in our history," Hanson said.

"The members now in our party represent a 71 per cent increase over five years ago in the midst of the 1960 presidential campaign." Delegates gave ringing en dorsement to a number of resolutions in the opening session of their two-day convention. Included was a call for passage of a fair housing bill that has been described by some lawmakers as "too tough" to be acceptable. Equal Opportunity The measure would create a Wisconsin Equal Opportunity Commission and give it power to penalize those it judges guilty of discrimination in ine sale or rental of property. Those who opposed the proposal included Assemblyman Ed ward Mertz of Milwaukee. He said enforcement of the law would require $110,000 a year in state funds and that he doubted the commission could mak a1 So ystt HOUSTON, Tex.

Gordon Cooper Foreign Aid Fund Slashed Senate Votes $200 Million Reduction WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has voted a $200 million across-the-board cut In President Johnson's foreign aid authorization bill. The action came late Friday on an amendment by Sen Wayne Morse, to reduce authorizations for each of the next two years from 000 to $3,243,170,000, which car ried 40 to 35. Sen. Mike Mansfield, the majority leader, announced after the vote that the leadership planned to keep the Senate in session Monday nigni in me hope of completing action on the bill. Morse charged the program had resulted in billions of dol lars of waste through misman agement, and called it "a stinking mess." But he was defeated earlier, 54 to 26, when he sought to cut it by to an even $3 billion.

He announced he will call up more amendments Monday seeking to cut the program on a "country-by-country basis." The $200 million cut was the first opponents had succeeded in making since the bill reached the Senate floor a week ago Friday. Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, was defeated, 53 to 38, Friday on an amendment to cut military assistance by $115 million, from $1,170,000,000 to He argued that the United States is providing military equipment for opposing forces of Pakistan and India as well as opposing forces of Turkey and Greece, and that the cuts should be taken from those programs. verv little sensation of sneed. other than the same type of sensation that we had in the capsule, and I would say it would be very similar to flying over the earth from about 20,000 feet, "You can't actually see the earth moving underneath you.

"We're tired of it, we know our rights as hu man beings and we insist on them." Another resolution adopted congratulates the Assembly's Democratic majority for rejec tion of a Republican sponsored budget-tax bill. The 52 Assembly Democrats who voted against the measure Thursday were lauded for "bringing political gamesman ship on the budget to an end by killing the Senate Republican sham budget and tax package."

Three others restating the party's resist ance to sales tax extensions were laid aside at the request of Assemblyman George Molinaro of Kenosha. Molinaro, a co chairman of the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee, asked delegates not to "tie the hands of those of us who might have to negotiate compromise." Gov.

By surren dering, Pope ended a nation wide search that began a week earlier when the president and two employes of a Big Springs, bank were shot to death during a holdup. The FBI took charge of Pope shortly after his surrender and within 90 minutes had him arraigned before U.S.

Commissioner Lee Ciisel. He then was jailed in lieu of $10,000 bond. The FBI would not comment on what, if anything, Pope said about the June 4 robbery of the Farmers State Bank of Big Springs when $1,598 was taken or about the deaths of the three employes and serious wounding of a fourth. Pope called Dr. D.

"He wanted to know if I would call his parents and how they were reacting to all of the pub licity," Dr. Bittinger said. He also asked me what he could do and I told him to surrender. I also told him to do it where he was, because if he tried to go somewhere else he would be endangering himself." Big Springs is about 400 miles north of Roxbury. The bank was robbed around noon by a lone, well-dressed bandit.

By MORRIS NICHOLS As told to The Associated Press FORT STOCKTON, Tex. (AP) I woke up at 5 o'clock and it was raining real hard. Then water knocked the door of my motel room open. I jumped out of bed and put my pants on and I started for the next cabm be cause I knew the Johnsons had children. I hollered at John 'Let's get your kids out of here.

There's a flood I told him to give me three kids and I'd try to make it to hign ground. He said he couldn't open the door, the water was bitting the door so hard, and he told me to go around back. The water was chest deep then. I walked or swam around the cabin and was in the garage when the nig wall hit. I was trapped.

I finally got a hold of the door and pulled myself free I was completely dazed. I was hurt, cut, and beat. I found the highest place and sat down on a hill and prayed. One Rescued They rescued one of the John son boys. He is the only survi vor.

Their daddy was a big strong man. He might have made it but he probably tried to save bis kids and was lost. As far as I know there was not another person in that motel alive. You can imagine what happened when that wall of water hit. People were drown ing and you just couldn't do anything for them.

Women were looking for their little children. You know they're gone but there's not a damn thing you can do. When I was on that pole I saw a house come down the street with three peo ple on it. It just turned over and I don't know what happened to them. When it was all over, I was in a daze.

I just walked and walked. It was like a dream a bad dream seeing those children dying like that and you can't do lany thing about it. 56; 8 a.su 66; noon 67,.
