A spokesman said the troops were flown from Ft. Carson, Colo. to Da Nang, and then immediately deployed to positions below the eastern end of the demilitarized zone. The arrival of the 5th Division troops brought the number of U.S. troops in South Vietnam to about 540,000, still below the 549,500 ceiling set by the Pentagon in February after the Viet Cong Tet offensiev.

President Johnson's statement Wednesday that the U.S. government might have to take "additional military measures" to meet the threat of major new offensives aroused spec in Saigon that the ceiling on the American troop commitment might be raised again. Johnson said North Viet-ian namese troops are pouring into the South in record numbersan estimated 30,000 in July, and he predicted the figure for August would be higher. The 5th Division troops joined a defense force in the northern provinces that includes three U.S. Army and two Marine divisions and two South Vietnamese infantry divisions.

U.S. officers say North Vietnam has the equivalent of eight divisions either in the northern: provinces or adjacent to them in Laos, the DMZ or the southernmost part of North Vietnam.

A onelime major figure in this year's nomination race. Gov. George Romney of Michigan, of-! fered recommendations for the platform ranging from a Vietnam policy to revision of labor laws.

Romney called in prepared testimony for a declaration of conscience pledging action at evlery level in behalf of "the legal and moral equality of citizens." He advocated a large-scale effort to create jobs in the central cities by modifying apprenticeship and licensing requirements. setting up private corporations, establishing extension services to guide city dwelljers somewhat in the way the ag-ishe ricultural extension service has helped farmers, and backing self-generated business enterprises with a national business development bank. Romney said outdated labor laws "which feed the growth and concentration of excessive collective bargaining power in the hands of excessively powereconomic groups" must be changed. National emergency strikes should be prevented, added, by "prohibiting accumulation of undisciplined economic power." In Vietnam, he said, peace any price would be a calamity. But he said "the chief component (of U.S.

policy) is an expansion of the South Vietnamese role and contraction of the American role." The United States, he said, should work with other countries for "guaranteed neutralization of North and South nam, Laos and Cambodia." The platform-writers go work today on a tentative draft. Some of its outlines emerged from their public and private comments and the reception accorded key testimony: Vietnam--A broadly worded plank is shaping up that will call for efforts to end the war but stay well within the warning sounded by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower against surrender." There will be pledges against permitting a similar involvement to develop unforeseen elsewhere. While key Republicans differed widely as to how far the United States should go in either concessions of stern measures to hasten the end of the war, no candidate or faction has insisted on a particular blueprint in the -to the privately expressed relief of the platform writers. The statement will be general enough to allow any likely candidate to accept it and develop his own specifics as he campaigns.

The Republicans are preparing blasts at the Democratic administration for what' they say is an upsurge of crime in recent years. The platform will call for sterner enforcement, including use of electronic surveillance of criminal gangs. It will say also that better use could be made of the motion that underworld figures, once promised immunity against prosecution, should be forced under contempt penalties, to give testimony against others. In general, the Republicans are expected to hammer hard contention that a switch in attitude is needed, with protection of society rated high.

They based this on spokesman Nguyen Thanh Le's disclosure that Lau continued his attack on Rusk during the break which followed his statement in the formal conference.

A U.S. spokesman would not say what happened in the coffee break, which the U.S. diplomats normally treat as private meetings except for trivial topthat are discussed. But he did not deny the North Vietnamese report. U.S.

Harris said in a copyright story in the Washington Post that his count, which he said was concluded Monday, gives Rockefeller a six point over the Democratic contenders while Nixon lags five points behind Humphrey and eight behind McCarthy. The Post said Harris and George Gallup agreed the difference between their findbeings stemmed from the time lapse between the July 20-23 test by Gallup and the July 25-29 nose count by Harris. In the Harris poll, former Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama continued to hold 15 to 20 per cent of the vote nationally.

Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's press director, was quick to question the accuracy of the Harris poll. Klein said in a statement that Harris has said that John F. Kennedy would carry Ohio in 1960, and Nixon carried it. He said that in 1964 Harris had predicted that Rockefeller would lose in the Oregon primary and win in California when the opposite was true.
