As the payday crowds swarm down Saigon's Tu Do on their way to the bars, cabarets, tailor shops and souvenir stores the black market money men go into action. "Hey Joe.

Rep. Bray Says Army Reserves to Ee Called WASHINGTON (UPI -Continued escalation of the war in Viet Nam almost surely will make it necessary to call up the military reserves, Rep. William G. Bray, said today. Bray, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview that eight reserve divisions were in a "fairly good state of training and numbers." He made the "educated guess" that if there is a call-up, it would be from among these high priority infantry divisions: The 2(th in Massachusetts, 23th in Pennsylvania, 38lh in Indiana, 42nd in New York, and 47th in Minnesota.

The 30th armored division in Tennessee, the 50th armored in New Jersey, and the 30th Mechanized Division in North Carolina also were among the eight mentioned by Bray. for Tiie American dollar offers the best method at hand.

Sarawak Stale, Malaysia, (L'PU Britain and Malaysia appear to be doing everything right in their jungle war with Indonesia.

Much smaller than the Viet Nam war. the Borneo conflict fctill results in casualty lists and vast expenditures. Bu! it is a war in which the defenders have kept the initiative. British officer i speak of a "moral ascendency" their troops have gamed over the In-donesians. Whatever it is, for the past two years Indonesian invaders have been badly bloodied and invariably driven back across the border carrying their dead and wounded.

Operations have been as effective againsi the ill-trained, semi volunteer "1BTS" (Indonesian based terrorists) who made the earlier forays, to the regular sold ers of three Javanese brigades now gathered opposite soutlv.ve tern Sarawck. Relatively Few Defenders With a relatively few men to guard a vast 9(H) mile border, Malaysian defenders have been able to dominate jungle through constant patrolling, reasonably gdood intelligence and gunerior mobility. The main com rpt is to the Indonesians near the border and hit them hard. Then as they withdraw, plaster their retreat routes with artillery. It happens like this: Early in May, men of the Royal Australian army set up an ambush at a point where Indonesians infiltrators might be expected.

A short time later, 23 heavily armed and uniformed Indonesians strolled into the region. Seventeen were killed in the war's shortest and most successful single shooting match. Two other forces of Indonesians were in the area and they also suffered some casualties when the Australians changed targets. Later, while in full retreat, the Indonesians were hit again by artillery. 'Copters Help Helicopters have proved a spectacular ally.

In a largely trackless region where there are less than 300 miles of paved road, British choppers have won the respect of dubious foot soldiers. The helicopters transport men to the border, resupply them, move them around when contacts are reported and even fly light artillery for the follow up operations. The mobile artillery, mostly lightweight 105 mm guns with 32 pound fragmenting shells, has been amazingly effective. For all the Malaysian success, there are no military signs the Indonesians are about to give up their hostile "confrontation" policy. Beginning late last year, large numbers of regular Indonesian army men began moving into the areas facing southwestern Sarawak and northeastern Sabah state.

Intelligence sources estimate there are now some 15,000 Indonesian combat soldiers and the greatest name In TELEVISION and STEREO See the Greatest Values in Home Entertainment Centers 412 E. SECOND Two men, aged 25 and 38, traveled from their homes in Jena to the outskirts of Berlin and made their way through the barbed wire barricades into the U.S. sector early Sunday. They told Western officials they spent about four hours hiding on the Eastern side of the border before making the break for freedom. They slipped through the wire in a country area about 3 a.m., but then spent another three hours in hiding because they were not sure they were in West Berlin.

West German officials at Goet-tingen reported that four East Germans fled through the Communist mine fields and barbed wire and reached Lowe Saxony safely. The four, aged between 17 and 30, were not sighted by the Communist anti-refugee patrols on the East-West Germany border. pearcd to be a craterlike depression. The pictures will probably be run again from the spacecraft's tape recorder in order to clear up any garbling and to verify initial reception. JPL officials released the first three pictures to news media but decided to withhold the remaining ones indefinitely pending further study by teams of investigators.

Scientists said they needed more time to come to conclusions about Mars and declined to speculate about the exact nature of markings on the first three snapshots.

(UPI) -The U.S. Mariner-4 spacecraft, its spectacular "fly-by" of Mars completed, continued the workhorse phase of its job Monday in sending back to earth more pictures of the red planet. Reception of the ninth of the scheduled 21 closeup photographs was completed at 2:54 a.m., PDT, (5:54 a.m., EDT, Monday and the tenth was on its way.

All 21 pictures should be in hand at earth receiving stations by Saturday, according to Dr. William II. Pickering, director of Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Each picture, received in the form of digital data from the spacecraft's tape recorder, takes more than eight hours in transmission. The photos were recorded and stored on tape in Mariner-4 when it passed within 10,000 miles of Mars last Wednesday.

Saving Wilson Plans Visit to Moscow LONDON (UPD-Prime Minister Harold Wilson may go to Moscow in the fall for a "little summit" with Kremlin leaders, ptlitical sources indicated Monday. The purpose of the mission would be to promote the resumption of the East-West dialogue on co-existence strategy. London and Moscow have been in contact "through diplomatic channels" recently. These contacts are to continue, the sources said. Behind the planned visit lies Wilson's determination to push ahead by every possible means for improved East-West relationsbeyond the more immediate issue of the Viet Nam conflict.

However, Pravda, the party organ strongly attacked Britain's labor leaders Sunday for their support of American Viet Nam policy. i 1, A Air Force Plans Twin Soy Satellites CAPE KENNEDY (UPD -The Air Force Monday prepared an Atlas-Agena rocket for another attempt early Tuesday to orbit tuo new nuclear detection satellites and a hitchhiking moonlet. The shot, called off early Monday because of guidance system problems, was rescheduled for a 43-minute period starting at 3 a.m. EST (4 a.m. EDT).

The twin 524-pound watchdog satellites will join four others patrolling space for violations of the limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty signed with Russia two years ago.

Casualties Make Pay Hike Sure WASHINGTON (UPD -With American casualties in Viet Nam mounting, there was little doubt that the House would vote today to give servicemen a pay raise far beyond the figure recommended by President Johnson. It was almost a certainty that the members would overwhelmingly approve a bill to boost the salaries of all officers and enlisted men by an average of 10.7 per cent. The total annual cost would climb from an immediate $1 billion a year to about $1.5 billion annually. The administration had proposed an across-the-board hie of 5 per cent and that only for officers Bnd those enlisted men with more than two years service.

Enlisted men with less than two years mostly draftees would receive a 2.7 per cent raise. Cost to the taxpayer would be about half of that contained in the bill the House was expected to pass. The 10.7 per cent raise was the figure arrived at by the House Armed Services Committee, which disregarded the wishes of the administration and went down the line with Its chairman. Rep. L.

Mendel Rivers, S. C.
