Two of the destroyers disembarked troops and military materiel for Kokkina, the announcement said.

A spokesman for the United Nations peace force on Cyprus said it was too early to tell whether the reported landing was a limited reinforcement of Turkish Cypriots or a more extended operation. Earlier the Turkish Government had denied, after the third straight day of air raids on the northwest coast, that it planned an invasion. But the Turkish fleet was reported maneuvering somewhere off Cy prus. Show Of Force Greece, which backs the Greek Cypriot Government, sent its jet hghters sweeping over the island as a show of strength. Greek Cypriots in the streets of Nicosia, the capital, and elsewhere, cheered at the sight.

Archbishop Makarios, the Greek Cypriot President, offered to order a cease-fire by his Greek Cypriot forces if Turkey would call off its air raids. The Turkish Foreign Minister, Feridun Erkin, told reporters the air force would stay its hand if the cease-fire remained in effect today. The Greek Cypriot Government statement said that the Cypriot representative to the United Na tions had been instructed to demand an urgent new meeting of the United Nations Security Coun The Cabinet is now considering steps it must take to counter "new Turkish aggression," the statement said. The Government ac cused Turkey of disregarding the Security Council appeal against the use of force and said that 1 luncey was carrying out new aggressive acts against A spokesman for President Makarios said by rough estimates yesterday's air raid caused 300 casualties among Greek Cypriots. While the violence was at its height, Makarios called on the Soviet Union and the United Arab Republic to intervene militarily, but there were no signs either country would respond favorably.

Makarios's cease-fire offer to Turkey followed earlier reports that he had threatened to launch attacks on Turkish Cypriot set tlements all across the island if Turkish air strikes continued. Heaviest Of Series The Turkish attacks yesterday morning were the heaviest of the three-day series which began Friday. The Greek Cypriot Government reported whole villages wiped out and in flames. The Greek Cypriot Government said a Turkish Navy destroyer appeared off the northwestern coastal village of Mansoura yesterday, dropped anchor 4 miles from the shore and began bombarding land positions. The United Nations peace force here said it could not confirm the report and newsmen were kept from the area by Greek Cypriot police and irregulars.

In Nicosia itself automatic weapons and rifle fire rattled across the neutral "Green Line" between Turkish and Greek Cyp' riots from crowded Paphos street to the grounds of the famous Ledra Palace Hotel. A Greek Na tional Guardsman was hit in the head. But the angriest actions cen tered on the island's rugged and picturesque northwest coast where rurkish cypriots were clinging to the surrounded village of Kokkina their last foot-hold on the Cyprus coastline. U.S. Planes Climb To Meet Reds But No Clashes Occur (Continued from Page 1) tion to help the Communist regime of North Vietnam.

The United States raids were in retaliation for two North Vietnamese torpedo boat attacks on United States destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. Air Alert In Saigon The report from Da Nang came as Saigon held an hour's air raid alert, its first since World War II when United States planes bombed the Japanese-occupied city. Premier Nguyen Khanh decreed a state of emergency and said the country should be prepared for attack. The air raid alert in Saigon was one of the measures taken. Pedestrians huddled inside after the alert sirens sounded.

Ar mored personnel carriers and troop trucks took up positions around the city, and police with loudspeakers blared instructions to city residents to stay under cover. Saigon has no regular bomb shelters except those built into the old palace occupied by the late President Ngo Dinh Diem. A handful of American service men still wandered the streets although Americans were under the same orders as Vietnamese. Actual chances for a bombing of Saigon appear remote, despite the precautions. A large contm gent of United States Air Force interceptors and other combat planes is now stationed in Viet nam, and more combat planes are based on carriers of the 7th Fleet offshore.

But Saigon's Prefect, Brig. Gen. Duong Ngoc Lam, raced around the city in his limousine checking defenses as if the real thing was on. Anti-aircraft bat teries are mounted throughout town; one is in front of the United States Information Service build ing. Restraint On Night Life The 10 P.M.

-to -4 A.M. cur few in Saigon, which began Fri day night, apparently is to con tinue indefinitely. Part of the reason for the curfew is to "reduce Saigon's boisterous night life," Government authorities have said. Premier Khanh has said fre quently he regards night clubs and dance halls as inconsistent with the wartime footing of the nation, and the curfew presumably is intended in part to make Saigon look more like the capita! of a nation at war. Peking Warns About Hanoi Aid (Continued from Page 1) States 1 war aggression in Indochina." "The people of all countries cannot look on with folded arms while United States imperialism is playing with fire," the paper added.

It dismissed American assertions that the United States has no intention of extending the war in Indochina as "nothing but a rigmarole." "The people of the world must not be hoodwinked. Countless facts have proved that only by punish ing the aggressors as they deserve can the names ot war oe checked," the paper said. "From now on the initiative will be in the hands of the (Communistl Vietnamese people and the peoples of the whole world who support them." For the third consecutive day- Red China reported anti-American demonstrations to protest what it called United States aggression against North Vietnam. The New China News Agency said 2,000,000 persons in Peking took part in anti-American parades, rallies and meetings to protest last Wednesday American air strike on North Vietnam shore bases. Br LOUIS (Continued nearly a third of its 30,000,000 people.

The lives of their inhabit ants have traditionally been led in isolation; rail lines touch only the fringes of the area, and dirt roads are washed three or four months a year. In addition, an estimated Vietnamese refugees oriented to the Communist North represent a potential fifth column in this area. Reds Focus On Northeast Thailand's Communists, who are outlawed and must operate underground, have focused on the northeast since their notable failure to make significant inroads on the Bangkok elite. Using radio propaganda and personal contacts, the Reds tell the villagers that they are Laotians, not Thais, and that allegiance to the pro-Communist Pathet Lao will bring tractors, wells and medicine. The Thai Government, to credit, quickly realized the appeal of these promises of the good life.

I The late Marshal Sarit Thanarat, then Prime Minister, told 200 village leaders in 1961 that the northeast would "soon be as progressive as Bangkok." Development Units Used A year later the first of seven mobile development units was in operation. These units, organized by the Thai military forces, enter remote areas and attempt to win loyalty by building schools and roads, digging wells and providing badly needed medical care. The Communists claim that these units are a sinister arrn of the American aid program, which has brought about $800,000,000 to Thailand, predominantly in military assistance. But while the units do use a considerable amount of American equipment, the personnel are all Thais and the program is run by the Thai military, which also rules the Government. The Communist outcry is an index of the effectiveness of the program.

Hundreds of arrests, Typhoon Kills 4 In Hong Kong Hong Kong, Aug. 9 An avalanche of earth and mud rolled over a camp for Red Chinese refugees today, burying four of them. Police said there was no chance any survived. The deaths raised the toll from Typhoon Ida to 30; 14 in the Philippines, 9 here and 7 in Korea. The landslide, caused by heavy rams, buned a shantytown area in a sea of mud more than 25 feet deep.

Three shacks were squashed. More than 5,000 refu gees were left homeless, and more than 100 were injured. 2 Boys Drown Two boys drowned in Hong Kong harbor. Three other persons were killed bv flying debris. The typhoon passed 40 miles south of Hong Kong, with gusts of wind up to 140 miles an hour.

Three ships were blown aground. They were the Liberian freighter Dorothy and the British freighters Ruby Ann and Gros-venor Explorer. Eleven thousand fishermen, villagers and refugees from Red China were evacuated from low areas. Typhoon Weakening Typhoon Ida, weakening into a tropical storm; made its way inland up the Pearl River in China's Kwangtung province. There were no reports of casualties or damage in Communist China.

The typhoon left scores injured and thousands homeless when it cut across the northern Philippines Saturday. Most deaths were attributed to drownings and landslides in Luxon Island's mountain province. At least 4,000 persons were left homeless as pounding rains caused flooding in South Korea.

In recent months, two of the mobile development units have been sent into the extreme south of the country a recognition by the Government that the security threat is now not limited to the northeast. fhinpse TprrnrU( inliif.

As in the northeast, the Communist propaganda line in the south feeds on regional grievances and advocates secession from the rest of Thailand. About 500 hard-core Chinese terrorists, former participants in me unauv-uccwsiui iviciicidn insurrection, have organized a front organization known as the Nationalist Party of Southern Thailand. It has won some popular support in border-region villages populated by Muslims of Malayan extraction and by aborigines'. There are an estimated 1.000,000 Muslims in Thailand, a Buddhist kingdom. The Communist front advocates secession of the four provinces and possibly eventual union with the Malayan Muslims to the south.

Meanwhile, it attacks the pro-Western policies of both Malaysia and Thailand which have joined military and police forces in re peated operations against the guerrillas. Propaganda Plus Aid In a program paralleling that in the northeast, the Communists have combined nationalist prop aganda ana aistnoution ot goods. Medical supplies have been smug gled across me Malaysia- inaiiand border. Villagers who have- received them have been disinclined to aid the Government in tracking down the subversives. One major Thai Malaysian sweep which also involved British troops, netted only one Communist killed and another wounded.

Lately. Indonesian infiltrators have been reported in the ui milt: LMtrit iniiiw iiimiuiin ifi i 11 operate ith the Communists. Officials here believe that the' frustrating sweep operations are still worthwhile, since they show the flag in isolated outposts possibly deter cooperation with the underground movement. Key Hope For Future But the real hope appears to lie in the mobile development units, which are designed to meet and surpass Communist assist-' ance while promoting loyalty' to Bangkok. While their projects may never be able to match Communist-promises, the Thais believe that the mobilization of economic, social and military resources will eventually eliminate the serious subversion problem.

A vital additional tool, in many1 eyes, would be clear evidence that the Communist advance across Indochina is neither irresistible nor inexorable and the United States is determined to keep th Pathet, Lao away from the Mekong. The Thais viewed last vcck's retaliatory American attack on North Vietnam as a positive indw. cation that Washington will be as resolute as they hope. They leJ that they can control the fronts in Thailand if the United States, will control the rear in Hanoi arid Peking. For the Finest in Intidt or Ouf from Ctllar to Roof Call LI.

TO MEET AGAIN Council Session Sought On Landing Report (Continued from Page I) the delay as holding up the Council to ridicule. As approved, the resolution reaffirmed an earlier appeal by the Council president to Turkey to cease bombardment of Cyprus and to the Government of Cyprus to order its armed forces to cease firing at once.

In addition to calling for an im mediate cease-fire by all concerned, the resolution asked all sides to the dispute to cooperate fully with the United Nations com mander in Cyprus in the restoration of peace and security. Last-Minute Changes It asked also that all states "re frain from any action that might exacerbate the situation or con tribute to the broadening of hostilities." Some last-minute changes were made in the resolution. The Soviet Union asked for re iteration of the Council president's appeal in the resolution, and Bolivia sought mention of a report on the situation being prepared for the Council by Thant. Both were incorporated. Ross ides asked for a delay the vote while he consulted by telephone with Nicosia.

Without such consultations, he said, he could not associate his Govern ment with the resolution. The Soviet Union supported the re quest. Orhan Eralp, Turkish delegate, accused Cyprus of "dilatory tactics" bnd declared "that in the interests of peace we would like to see the resolution go through as quickly as possible." The Greek delegate said he wanted a vote as soon as possible. The Council suspended its de liberations for a time after Ros-sides said he received a telephone call that might contain instructions from Nicosia. Upon his return to the Council chamber Rossides said his Government wanted mention in the resolution ot the resolution ap proved last March 4 setting up the United Nations peacekeeping force on Cyprus.

Nuclear Force Left Until July 31, the Navy's hard hitting nuclear task force of a carrier, a cruiser and a destroyer had been on duty with the 6th Fleet. The three atomic-powered ships the carrier Enterprise, cruiser! Long Beach and destroyer Bain-bridge steamed out past Gibraltar on July 31, headed on a trip which eventually will take them around the world. The carriers now with the fith Fleet carry the standard complement of aircraft, ranging from nuclear-weapon toting heavy attack planes to close-up support aircraft for covering troop operations in either general or limited; warfare.

Embarked in amphibious units of the fith Fleet is a battalion off Cyprus for emergency evacuation of the approximately 350 American civilians on the island, if that becomes necessary. 3. Taylor G. Belcher, United States Ambassador at Nicosia, was advised officially by the Markarios regime at 2.30 A.M. today that it was going to ask for military intervention by the Soviet Union.

Little On Flret They asserted flatly that no thought had been given here overnight to interposing units of the 6th Fleet between Greece and Turkey or between either of them and Cyprus. But, on grounds of prudence, they refused to oeal with any other questions about possible 6th Fleet moves. Asked this evening "just how serious the Cyprus crisis is ana "what rni ilrl hannen Rail said it "obviouslv involves a verv strategic area of the world," including "the right flank of 'NATO." Asked "what's at stake for us," his immediate answer was: "peace in a very strategic area peace between two allies which form the right wing of the alliance." There is ai.so a danger that it could "escalate" into a wider conflict, he continued, adding: "That is the reason why President Johnson had spem so many hours on this in the last few days and, in fact, since February." Ball, whom the Chief Executive has dispatched to the east ern Mediterranean several times ONE DAY-TODAY! RUMMAGE since the Cyprus crisis began rip' enmg last December, also was asked what had caused its cur rent eruption. It has "a long history," he an swered before going on to note that "ever since last December there has been a state of great tension and sporadic fighting some times very violent" in Cy prus. Then, after referring to the recent smuggling in of arms and men, he added without attributing those operations to either Turks or Greeks that they had indicated things were "building up to a climax." Asked if there were any indication that what he had referred to as a "de facto ceasefire," which he assumed had gone into effect at nightfall on the island, 'will last through the daylight hours tomorrow," Ball's initial answer was: "I certainly hope so.

Resolution Adopted He added that the Indian com mander of the United Nations force on the island is working "valiantly" to produce such a result. Then, noting that the United Nations Security Council had adopted this afternoon a resolu tion enjoining all sides to effect an immediate ceasefire and CO' ODerate thereafter with the United Nations' command, Ball said: "The Cypriot Government as I understand, did accept the resolution this afternoon."

He adjured their governments to resort only to peaceful means for settling their differences and particularly to give the United Nations Security Council a chance to fulfill its peace-keeping function. Ball's summation of the situation was offered to television audiences between 6.15 and 6.40 P.M.

It therefore took no account of later reports from Nicosia alleging Turkish troops had begun landing in Cyprus's northwestern sector where most of the fighting of the last 72 hours has occurred. Noting Cyprus had charged before the Security Council last night that Turkish troop transports were then en route to initiate an "invasion" of the island, officials here had said early this afternoon that such charges had proven "false." British Aerial Survey No Turkish troops had em barked for Cyprus yesterday, they added. Their assertions on that score were reinforced by British aerial reconnaissance over the seas between Turkey and Cyprus, th results of which were relayed to Rusk and Ball by Denis A. Greenhill, British charge d'affaires here, when he called at the State Department this forenoon. United States officials here also said that: 1.
