teiKU ill U.S. Plans Buildup in Viet Nam Steady Rise In Troops Due WASHINGTON (AP) There will be a steady increase in the number of American troops, including combat forces, sent to Viet Nam, authoritative sources said Friday. ine aaaiuonai troops may amount to a 50 per cent increase over the approximately 50,000 now in Viet Nam, it was learned. Officials said that if a decision is made for the American troops to take a more active combat role, the manpower will be in position to carry out such or ders. For the present, it is planned that additional forces will be used to extend the defensive perimeters around areas from which U.S.

and Vietnamese aircraft are operating. No one has set an absolute figure on what the total requirement may be in the future. But for the immediate period ahead, a total of 75,000 American troops in South Viet Nam is called "not unrealistic." The question of a more direct combat role will "speak for itself as time and circumstances evolve," a well-placed source said. "We expect a more direct combat role."

This country has said previously that it would yield the peace-keeping chores to an in ternational force authorized by the Organization of American States. Ambassador Ellsworth Bun ker told a special OAS confer ence Friday night that the U.S. withdrawal will start with the arrival of a Brazilian contingent of 1,250 troops in the Dominican Republic.

Since most of them will go by ship, they may not get there for another week or so. Bunker did not give any figures on the size of the U.S. withdrawal, but said it would be equivalent to the number of Latin American soldiers in the Do minican Republic. Some on Hand There are now in Santo Domingo 250 soldiers from Honduras, 158 from Nicaragua, and 20 policemen from Costa Rica. Costa Rica has no army.

At the opening of the OAS special conference called to appoint a chief of the inter-American force established to enforce peace in the Dominican Republic, the Brazilian representative, Jose Barreiro informed the OAS of his government's decision to send 1,250 men. Barreiro said the Brazilian contingent will be made up of Army men and supported by Navy personnel and policemen. There also will be a token Air Force delegation. Bunker welcomed the Brazilian announcement and said "I am authorized to announce that with the arrival of that force we will withdraw a number of U.S. troops equal to the other troops" in Santo Domingo.

Bunker added that "we hopefully look forward to new contingent arrivals and' further withdrawal of U.S. forces." In an earlier announcement, the OAS said that for the first time Latin American Boldiers had gone on duty in the international security zone in Santo Domingo now guarded by U.S. Marines and paratroopers.

Gag Motion Introduced In Senate WASHINGTON (UPI) After a month of patient waiting, the Senate leadership cracked down Friday with a cloture petition that would curb debate and force a final vote on the voting rights bill possibly next week. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and his Republican counterpart Everett M.

Dirksen were confident they had the votes to invoke cloture. The move needs approval by two thirds of the senators present and voting. The showdown on the seldom-used cloture move will come automatically next Tuesday at 1 p.m. EDT. If adopted over Southern opposition, it would block the offering of further amendments and limit debate to one hour for each senator.

The petition was submitted by Fnilip Hart, who filed the motion in the absence of Mansfield. This could bring the measure to a final Senate vote perhaps next Thursday or Friday. the roundup. The spokesman mmgo. Jacki said Rep.

Ina Vestal, R- Woodbridge, explained that 500 of the elderly (non-psychotic) patients would be removed dur ing the first year of the bien nium and the additional 250 dur ing the second year.

There are approximately 2,500 elderly pat ients in the institutions, she said. She said it would remove these aged individuals from the huge state mental institutions into the smaller homes where there would be better care and conditions. The gross cost was estimated at $4.6 million with half to be realized in federal funds. The reduction in the formula of contributions by parents with mentally retarded children represents a revision in the bill first introduced by State Rep. Elmer Mortensen, R-Newington.

The new figures were explained by State Rep. Axel E. Larsen, R-Woodstock. Income Level No one with a taxable annual income below $4,000 would be required to contribute, he said. Those between $4,000 and $5,000 would contribute $16 per month.

This would rise on a sliding SCale up to a top position of $12,000 in taxable annual income for which a contribution of $94 per month would be made. Larsen said the present maxi- mum contribution now stands at $26.95 a week. State Rep. Sarah Frances Curtis, R-Newtown, House chairman of the Public Welfare and Humane Institutions Committee, explained that the improvements in child protective services would provide additional staff, speed adoption, provide programs of rehabilitation and closer work with parents. She also said that the Republicans intend to lift the load from stepfathers who, based on a bill passed two years ago, have had to fully support stepchildren.

Mrs. Curtis said this had not worked out and that a portion of that support would he lifted. Inside Story Xerox Corp. buys Wesleyan Press for $56 million. Page 22.

So it's only fitting and proper that Dorothy Lamour solved the latest problem.

She now has a 20 foot square boxing ring en route to Maine. Or on the Road to Lewiston, if you prefer. It wasn't enough that Ernie Terrell says it all isn't a cham pionship fight and may sue. Not enough that it was once post poned, banned in Boston, clouded by Liston's police trouble. No.

Now they find the ring is too small. Miss Lamour saved the day. "We found a new ring in Baltimore," said Harold Conrad of Inter-Continental Promotions, Inc. "It's on the way. Miss Lamour saved the fight.
