S. Ambassador Averell Harriman arrived here today from Moscow where two rounds of talks with Premier Alexei N. Kosygin apparently failed to budge the Russians from their tough stand on Viet Nam. Harriman was conferring today with Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak before going on to Bonn tonight for talks with West German officials. He was expected to explain U.S.

policy in Viet Nam and possibly the implication of his Moscow mission. He told newsmen at the airport he would report to President Johnson on his talks with Kosygin before he made any public statements. He had told newsmen in Moscow "I'm not going to say anything" about the Viet Nam crisis. Administration sources in Washington said Harriman's talks with Soviet officials produced no hope Russia might try to persuade North Viet Nam to negotiate the Vietnamese war in the forseeable future. In ending his 10-day visit here, Harriman said the Russians "must be willing to do something serious" on disarmament or, he felt, they would not have agreed to resume the 18-nation disarmament talks in Geneva.

"I don't think they would go to Geneva unless they were serious," he said. Harriman also said he believed "progress can be made" between the United States and Russia on other relations, especially in trade, in exchange programs, water desalinization experiments and in control of nuclear weapons in outer space. Business as usual at Santa Barbara, no quake Mariner 4 still sending close-ups from Mars Johnson extends meeting on troops in Viet Nam By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI)-President Johnson today broadened his high-level conferences on Viet Nam and indicated talks on bolstering American forces there would continue into the weekend. The President met shortly before noon EDT with Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and the Joinl Chiefs of Staff.

Henry Cabot Lodge, newly named ambassador to Saigon, who was with McNamara in Southeast Asia and sat in on Wednesday's conferences at the White House, was not present today. The White House said he was away from Washington. McNamara, who returned at dawn Wednesday from a five- day fact finding trip to Viet Nam, brought back recommendations for a bigger U. S. troop commitment to the war.

This undoubtedly will require the call up of reserves and a larger draft of military manpower. Through Review Johnson, McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. ambassador designate to Viet Nam, Central Intelligence Agency Director William F. Raborn Jr.

and other top officials Wednesday conducted what was described as a "thorough and penetrating review" of all but the military aspects of the Viet Nam situation. White House Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers said the review centered on such aspects of the war as the operation of the U.S. intelligence apparatus, the role of the U. S.

Information Agency (USIA), and economic problems linked with the pacification and reconstruction programs in South Viet Nam. He indicated that any presidential decisions on the war may not be made known immediately. "I am sure he (Johnson) is going to spend a great deal of time the next few days on this subject," Moyers said. To Consult Congress It was considered likely that Johnson would call in Democratic and Republican congressional leaders to discuss any reserve and national guard call- up. The last such mobilization was ordered by the late President John F.

Kennedy during the 1961 Berlin crisis. There now are more than 71.000 U. S. troops in South Viet Nam and the number is going up in the future. Some miUtary sources have expressed.

belief that the total might reach 180,000 by the end of the year. McNamara told newsmen Wednesday that the anti-Communist position has "deteriorated" since his last visit to Viet Nam 15 months ago. He said the strength of the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas "has m- creased dramatically" over the past 12 months, but he added there also were signs of weakening in the Red military effort.

The disastrous temblor prophesied by two soothsayers failed to materialize. The earthquake panic began when Ohio University research student J. Douglas Stewart sent mimeographed letters warning that women seers had predicted an earthquake and a tidal wave to nine Southern California counties. Most counties apparently dis regarded the letters, but Santa Barbara County Civil Defense Director Elvin R.

Pilot killed in crash of fighter jet CHU LAI, South Viet Nam (UPI) A U.S.

Au: Force pilot was killed Wedneday when his F104 Starfighter jet craved at the Marine Coirps air strip here. A Marine spoksman said the pilot reported losing oil pressure minutes before he attempted an emergency landing. The plane crashed just short of ihe south end of the runway. PASADENA, Calif. America's Mariner-4 space camera, turning in a smash hit performance with its close-up snapshots of the planet Mars, may be called upon for a scientific encore.

A Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) spokesman said scientists will decide by Saturday whether to have Mariner-4, today more than 140 million miles from earth, replay the tape on which the historic photographs are electronically engraved. However, there remained "no signs of life" animal, vegetable or the pictures. Mariner-i was not equipped for that task. "We never dreamed we would ever get close enough to look for life," said Mariner project Manager Dan Schneiderman. If Mariner-4 is called upon to replay the tape after it fmishes the first complete relay Saturday, tracking stations will spend another 10 days receivmg the pictures eight tiny pieces every second.

In another development, the U.S. space agency said it had decided against building a small, scientifically equipped "tank" to roam the surface of the moon as a part of Project Surveyor. Experts had considered the idea of sending along such lunar rover, weighing about 100 pounds, as a Surveyor "passenger" in 1966 or 1967. However, said space agency officials, authorities called it off "to concentrate aU available efforts on development of the Surveyor spacecraft Albanian leader threatens U.S. in Red conclave BUCHAREST, Romania top Albanian Communist claimed today the Communist world can "make it hot" for the United States in the Viet Nam war.

He said U.S. troops could be forced to withdraw. Albanian Communist party secretary Raraiz Alia told the fourth session of a Romanian Communist party meeting the Communist nations could isolate the United States by declaring a political and economic boycott. He said this would "make the aggressors, take off from Viet Nam." The Albanian, whose party faithfully follows the Peking line, accused the United States of acting like a "hangman" in Viet Nam and of "trymg to stifle by fire and iron the liberation movement. In another development, it was learned today Russian and Chinese officials have been conducting behind-the-scenes talks at the Communist conclave here.

The meeting is being attended by 3.00O Romanian delegates and Communists from 56 foreign countries. Wednesday they heard the most bitter attack to date against U.S. policies in Viet Nam. The attack was delivered by an American. The American was identified as Carl Winter, a member of the Communist party national executive committee in the United States.

U.S. imperialism endangers the peace and security of a 11 mankind," Winter charged. He accused the United States of "arrogantly expanding its aggression against the people of Viet Nam, wantonly spreading death and destruction." But soon after Wednesday's session opened Leonid I. Bezh- nev, chief of the Soviet Communist Party, and Teng-Hsiano- Ping, secretary-general of the (Chinese Communist party, got up and left the rostrum. Immediately there was speculation that Brezhnev and Teng were meetmg in an effort to resolve the deep ideological dispute between their countries.

Air Force jets extend bomb raid deep into Viet Viet Nam debates may delay adjournment WASHINGTON (UPI)-Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen indicated today congressional adjournment plans might be complicated by the "terribly serious and dangerous situation in Viet Nam." The Illinois Republican said he did not know yet whether President Johnson would want Congress to act on a new Viet Nam resolution to accompany his expected buildup of U.S. forces in Viet Nam. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, told newsmen he and Dirksen expected to meet wifJi the President "tomorrow or Saturday" to discuss the adjournment outlook. Dirksen was asked if he be lieved the Viet Nam situation miglht interfere with hopes for adjournment of Congress in early September.

He replied: "It is a terribly serious and dangerous situation in Viet Nam. It is deteriorating every day. We' aire confrMited by a real crisis." Dirksen said that "whether Congress can adjoiim in the face of this crisis is another matter." Mansfield, in a statement late Wednesday, reviewed what he called the "grim facts" of the Viet Nam conflict. He warned that tlhe war "may go on for four or five or even ten years." The Montana Democrat's remarks Wednesday signaled a new round of congressional debate over the deepening war in Southeast Asia. In his statement, Mansfield said Amoicans are in for an "ordeal of indefinite duration and increasing sacrifice" Viet Nam.

He called for a new Geneva conference to discuss the crisis. "It is better to face up to this problem than to ignore it in the belief that it will wash away at the end of the monsoons. The time for wishful thinking is past; the time for accepting the reality is now. Indeed it has been time for quite a while," he said. "We are in, not for a summer of pain and difficulty, but for an ordeal of indefinite duration and sacrifice which will persst untl the problem can be solved at tlie conference table." The Democratc leader said either Britain and Russia, who were co chairmen of the 1954 Geneva conference that ended the French Indochina war with the partition of Viet Nam, would be "eminently justified in issuing the call for a reconvening of the Mansfield also declared that President Johnson "has gone down many tracks" in an effort to enter into "uncondilion al discussions" as a prelude to peace negotiationsj but has met with "silence or, rebuffs at every turn." But House Republican Leader Gerald R.

Ford declared that the United States should seek something more than a nego tiated settlement in Viet The Michigan congressman noted thait until now debate had been concerned with escalating the fighting. "Perhaps the- time has ar rived when the President, and those of lis who support him must escalate, not means- alone but the ends for which we fight," Ford said in a speech. SAIGON (UPI) Air Force jets stabbed deeper into North Viet Nam than ever before today, destroying a bridge less than 42 miles from the Communist Chinese border. In South Viet Nam, a U.S. spokesman said air and ground operations Wednesday killed 49 Communist guerrillas.

Three F105 Thunderchief fighter bombers flew today's deep mission into the Communist north. Pilots blasted the highway bridge 135 miles northwest of Hanoi, then doubled back and -bombed the railroad yards at Yen Bay, 110 miles northwest of the Communist capital.

No American planes were lost on the strikes, but a U.S. Air Force pilot was killed today when his jet fighter crashed while trying to make an emergency landing at the Chu Lai airstrip near Da Nang. Capt.

Thales A. Derrick of Salt Lake City, Utah, flew one of the raids agamst a guerrilla encampment 150 miles south of Saigon. "Over 50 per cent of the target was burning when we left," Derrick said.

Soviets admit secret organization in Russia MOSCOW (UPI)-The Soviet government today officially admitted that an anti-government underground organization is operating within Russia. The admission came during the opening session of the trial of Gerald Brooke, 27, a British schoolteacher charged witii coming here to help the clan- desinte organization. He pleaded guilty. The organization was identified as the Popular Labor Alliance (NTS), a Paris-based organization of Russian emigres dedicated to overthrowmg the Soviet government. Brooke was arrested by KGB (Soviet security) agents in Moscow last April.

He testified today he came to Russia as a secret agent for the organization. The mdictment said Brooke was to spread anti-Soviet literature, collect Moscow maps and collect intelligence data. The indictment, in citing NTS activity during World War II, indicated the underground organization has been active here, off and on, for at least 25 years, despite government efforts to stamp it out. Prosecutor Gennadi Terekhov told the court that Brooke, who faces up to sevai years pris on, "fully admitted his' guilt and stated tiiait he repents. Brooke confessed during the pre-trial investigation, Terekhov said.

The Briton's Russian defense lawyer, Nikolai Borovic, said his client "admitted his guilt clearly." "I'll try for a minimum sentence," the attorney told newsmen. Brooke and his wife were arrested last April while visiting Russia as tourists. The Briton, a lecturer- in languages in London, had studied in Moscow University in 1959 and was picked up while visit ing the apartment of some Russian friends. He speaks Russi an fluenUy. Brooke's wife was questioned for a night and then released.

She returned to Britain. Brooke was held incommunicado on unspecified charges for a time. Later, British representatives were permitted to visit him in prison. He was accused of spreading subversive propaganda aimed at "undermming, weakening and damagmg" the state. There was speculation that the anti-Soviet organization referred to the charges against' Brooke was the Popular Labor Alliance (NTS), a Russian emigre group with headquarters in Western Europe.

Many injured as rioting continues in Greece ATHENS (UPI)-Th Greek government put the armed services on an alert standby today in fear of new and Communist- inspu-ed riots. Eight hours of rioting ended early today with at least one dead, scores injured and nearly 300 in jail. Defense Mmister Stavros Kis- topolous summoned the various service commanders to an afternoon meeting and informed them he had received "information that the Communists may start new riots." At the same time Public Order Minister Adm. John Toum- ba said the Communists, who polled 14 per cent of the votes the last election, and ousted Premier George Papandreou were directly responsible for the new riots. There have been disturbances throughout Greece since 25-year old King Constantine fired 77- year-old Papandreou and replaced him with George Atha- nassiadis-Novas.

The worst came Wednesday night when 10,000 persons, mostly students, rampaged through the streets of Athens demanding Papandreou's return. Police quelled the rioting early today with batons, firehoses, tear gas and armored cars.
