Headley said today as he moved to curb the violence that has taken three lives in the last four days. In a special news conference this afternoon, Headley said he would also move some men from the bolita and vice squads and add more dogs to the district. "This is war," he said as he issued a warning that anyone caught in the act of committing a crime stands a good chance of getting shot "I meant it, every bit of it.

You can't bond out of the morgue. There have been too many innocent people killed."

V' SAIGON (AP) The number of enemy prisoners captured this year is nearly double the 1966 total, but it is small compared with reports of enemy soldiers killed.

Allied troops have taken men so far this year, against 2,871 in 1966. A total of 8,891 prisoners is being held. About 1,500 of these are North Vietnamese Army regulars and the rest are Viet Cong. About 300 are women. The American, South Vietnamese and associated troops have reported killing 82,089 enemy troops so far this year, up from 57,383 In 1966.

Field commanders say it is very difficult to take North Vietnamese Army regulars as prisoners. One U.S. officer who deals with prisoners said the situation "is not unlike that of Korea and Japan." The Japanese In World War II and Koreans in the Korean War were reluctant to surrender in battle, often fighting to the last man. "There often aren't many prisoners in some big battles," said the senior officer, referring mainly to large-scale fighting with North Vietnamese units such as the 21 -day battle at Dakto in the Central Highlands last month. "It isn't because we don't try to take them.

I desperate ly want prisoners and do the w-4 utmost to get them. Often the enemy soldier won't give up in the sense of surrender-ing in battle. He'll come in under the Open Arms program more often than he'll come in as a prisoner."

21. Offensive players named by Collier included flanker Jack Clancy of Miami, tackle Stew Barber, Buffalo; guard Winston Hill, New York; quarterback Bob Griese, Miami; halfback Woodie Campbell, Houston; fullback Hoyle Granger, Houston, and kicker Mike Mercer, Buffalo. Defensive players include end Pat Holmes, Houston; tackle Houston Antwine, Boston; Linebacker John Bramlett, Miami, and halfback Tom Janik, Buffalo. Other members of the East team, which features fullback Jim Nance of Boston, the league-leading runner, and quarterback Joe Namath of New York, were announced last week. Asked how he thought the Negro community would react, Headley said: "I don't care how anyone reacts.

My job is to enforce the peace and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability. I hope I have the support of the whole city, including the city leaders." He said 90 per cent of the Negroes are law abiding but there are "10 per cent who couldn't care less about the civil rights movement and they're taking advantage of it" Asked if he thought this might cause riots such as have occurred elsewhere in the nation, Headley replied: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts (meaning by his men). These are my orders. Not three days after, but now." Earlier story on Page 1A. ernment without recrimination.

According to military figures, the number of military dfectors this year has surpassed last year's total 897 in 1966 and 17.158 throughNovember this year. Virtually all of these are Viet Cong. Why is the enemy reluctant to give up in battle? "I think they are indoctrinated," said one U.S. officer. Maj.

Gen. William R. Peers, in operational command of American troops at Dakto, said the North Vietnamese were almost fanatical about refusing to surrender, some prisoners gave up only because thev were wounded. A U.S. officer said: "You rarely get North Vietnamese officer prisoners of war alive.

This fellow does get out in front and lead his troops." RENO, Nev. (AP) A Canadian woman won 750 today in the first big payoffs on Nevada's first $5 slot machines, a casino said. She cashed her $5 tokens, stuffed I $100 bills into her bosom and said she'd be back after get-I ting some sleep. Harolds Club identified her as Anne Clarke, owner of a dress shop called the Style Shop in Vancouver, B.C. A club spokesman said she is in her mid-50s and her hus- band, Ted, is a truck driver.

1 The two $5 slot machines were unveiled Friday in ceremonies attended by Gov. Paul Laxalt and Chairman I Frank Johnson of the Gaming Control Board. Laxalt got a I complimentary silver $5 token. The spokesman said Mrs. Clarke read about the mast chines and flew to Reno.

She began playing them steadily I at 10 o'clock last night and continued without letup for about 10 hours! 1 The club said she started with $20. parlayed it to $450 I in small winnings, then hit jackpots of $5,000, $750, 000, $750, and then simultaneous jackpots of $750 on each i machine and quit with $13,750. fc1 i 4 ivm open position in the event of failure of the shielding or rotating device. Extend to multi-purpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses and smaller cars now exempt present passenger car requirements for windshield wiping and washing systems, including a two-speed wiper. -Establish performance standards for windshield defrosting systems and extend requirements for proper defrosters to trucks and buses.

Limit the use of ornamental exterior protrusions to no more than one half inch from the surrounding surface, unless constructed to break away under a force of 10 pounds or more. Require that every passenger car have a vehicle identification number on a permanent part of the car in such a way that removal or alteration would show evidence of tampering. The number would have to be inside the car but readable from the outside. Manufacturers could not duplicate a number for 10 years. Proposed new standards that would affect new vehicles manufactured after Dec.

31, 1969, would: Require that all passenger cars have an ignition locking system that would warn the driver, when he opened his door to get out, that the key had been left in the ignition; have a locked position that would prevent the operation of the engine and either the steering or mobility of the car when anyone tried to start it without a key. A further requirement would be that the system make it impossible to remove the key without activating the locking device. Extend to multi-purpose passenger vehicles safety standards for door latches, hinges and locks that now apply to other vehicles. Specify standards to minimize injury when glove compartment and other doors in passenger cars pop open in crashes. Require that windshields on passenger cars be installed in such a way that they would not become dislodged in an accident.

This would be aimed at preventing occupants from being thrown through the windshield opening. WASHINGTON (AP) The Department of Transportation called today for comment from industry, research and other interested groups on 12 proposed new safety regulations for motor vehicles. The tentative regulations would require anti-theft dev. ices, ban potentially danger-o exterior protrusions, order the installation of head rests and set standards for concealed headlights, among other things. The department set Jan.

26 as the deadline for submission of views by the outside groups. The National Highway Safety Bureau then will evaluate the comments and develop final standards. These will be made official by action of the federal highway administrator. The final version of safety regulations frequently varies from those first proposed. The rules now under consideration were announced earlier this year in broad terms.

Technical details now have been developed. These proposed new regulations would apply to 1969 model vehicles manufactured after Dec. 31. 196S: They should: Require installation by the manufacturer of headrests on air passenger cars to reduce the frequency and severity of neck injuries in rear end collisions. Require passenger car linking fcystems to minimize accidental opening of rear doors by children from the inside and prevent opening from the outside.

MARIS ILL; EYE COULD BE HARMED Bf MILT GROSS Nortfc Amtricm NtnMr Attianct NEW YORK Roger Maris, who has sparked winning battles against everything from hitting slumps to Babe Ruth's home-run record, may be fighting the toughest battle of his baseball life. The Cardinals' right-fielder is reported suffering from Bell's palsy, a facial paralysis which affects vision. (Maris could not be reached for comment Ed.) After a great season, in which he was a major cog in the Cardinals' successful bid for a National League pennant and then helped to beat the Red Sox in the World Series by batting .385 and leading his team in RBts, Maris is worried about his baseball future. The right side of his face is paralyzed and the left-handed batter who broke Ruth's home-run record by hitting 61 in 1961 can hardly see out of his right eye. hopes to recover sufficiently to leave his Independence, home the first week of the new year tn attend ceremonies in Gainesville in connection with a beer distributorship recently awarded him.
