The Los Angeles Lakers beat the' Celtics, 123 to 115, at L.A. Tuesday night with a fourth-period rush to tie the final playoff series. Story, Page 40. (this is) an sional subcommittee insulting indictment." The White House ducked the conflict when Press Secretary Robert Fleming said, "No, the controversy is theirs" and refused to make a judgment on the merits of the issue.

The issue finds its heart in the future of manned bombers. The House committee reported on McNamara's plans for gradually eliminating 80 B58 bombers, reducing the number of B52 bombers and introducing the FB-111 into the strategic bombing force. The committee wants development of an additional bomber besides the FB-111. DEFENSE Page 6 ballistic missiles from behind the Iron Curtain. The Defense Department issued a one sentence reply to Rep.

Hebert's attack: "Mr. Hebret appears to be rewriting his report." The Pentagon refused to elaborate, but it was noted that the original Defense Department statement on the Hebert report expressed "distress" over its "digression into trivialities, insinuations against the Secretary of Defense and failure to deal adequately or objectively with the future needs of the U.S. defensive forces." Frame Wire Servicei WASHINGTON The debate over the nation's defense became a battlefield with many fronts Tuesday with the major war of words fired between members of the House of Representatives and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara; The series of fast-breaking tactical maneuvers touched on; McNamara's charge that an" Armed Services subcommittee's re-' port on phasing out manned bombers was a "shockingly distorted picture." Snorted back Rep. F. Edward Hebert "McNamara has seen fit to impugn the integrity of a Congres Sen.

Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill.) made an obvious rebuttal to his counterpart in the House, Rep. Gerald Ford, when he proclaimed "the United States has bombs running out of its ears." Ford has charged the administration with mismanagement of the Viet Nam war. The Senate Armed Services Committee urged that Congress overrule McNamara and approve $167.9 million for the quick development of a new anti-missile defense system. And on a less controversial front, it was announced that the U.S.

is attempting to design a satellite which would detect the launching of Army Probers Invite Peter Volpe By JOHN C. THOMAS SUB Keirorter S. Peter Volpe, brother of the governor, has been invited by mail to appear before a special Senate committee investigating the Volpe administration's award of architectural contracts. Democrats on the committee split sharply Tuesday over whether to summon him to Thursday's hearing. Chairman James A.

Kelly of Oxford rejected the idea "out of courtesy to the governor. "I don't think there's a need to call him unless we establish that there was an indication of improper conduct." Sen. Beryl W. Cohen (D-Brookline) had other ideas. He dispatched a letter Tuesday night, inviting Peter Volpe to appear.

"I told him I was sure he'd want the opportunity to clear up the questions that have been raised," Cohen said. "I said that, if he were unable to appear Thursday at 2 p.m., he could let me know and we'd set up another time." ARCHITECTS Page 5 Wants Reserve Call-Up By TED SELL Wtshlntton Timet WASHINGTON The Army wants authority from the Defense Department to call up some Reserve units to help meet Viet Nam war training needs, it was learned Tuesday. The Army wants to call up one or more of the 13 Organized Reserve "training divisions" which are not designed for quick dispatch overseas mm 'wamwm' utisa The Charles Sparkles Like Diamonds as Lone Sculler Pulls Through Harvard oarsman takes a spin as sunset sprinkles water near Dunster House.

Each of the 3200-man training divisions is organized as a complete infantry training center to process draftees and recruits.

Whether Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, who has adamantly opposed a Reserve call-up, would approve an Army request for even such a small-scale call-up is questionable. Last July 28, when President Johnson- ordered a military build-up for Viet Nam which was later followed by a further build-up ordered this past January the decision was to accomplish the build-up by using new draftees and enlistees, not What's Wrong With CivU Service III State Payroll Costs Every Voter $100 By ELIZABETH WEYMOUTH and DAVID B. WILSON SUB Reporter! If you are a family man raising three children on an income of $9000 a year, you probably paid about $100 in personal income tax to the state last year. The money could have insured your car or house, bought a bicycle for each of the youngsters, provided three weeks' groceries.

Chances are you never saw it, as it was deducted from your pay. Now, the wages and salaries paid to all categories of state employees in fiscal 1965 totaled $288,644,157, according to Comptroller Joseph Alecks. When you went to the polls last time, the state had 2,723,598 registered voters. You don't need to know the New Math to figure out that the cost of paying state employees (who pay taxes, too) amounted to more than $100 for every registered voter. CIVIL SERVICE fage 2 By JAMES STACK Stilt Reporter Three days, three bodies.

Police in Boston, Quincy and Revere were looking Tuesday for a solid break in any of the slayings. The victims: Anthony (Tony) Veranis, 28, onetime boxer and Dorchester resident whose body, battered brutally about the head, was found Tuesday at the foot of an embankment near Rte. 128 in the Blue Hills, Quincy. David M. Sidlauskas, 22, also of Dorchester, a convicted car thief whose body was found on a lonely road near Long Island Bridge, Quincy.

Floyd V. Wilkins, 51, wealthy New Jersey industrialist missing more than three months until Sunday, when his body was found floating in Plum River, Revere. All had been shot in the head. Veranis and Sidlauskas had lengthy police records and lived close to each other, but are not believed to have been victims of connected crimes, police said. Veranis was pistol-whipped and shot with a .38 calibre weapon, apparently while on his knees, police said.

"This was a real professional job," said one official who described the Sidlauskas slaying as the work of amateur killers. Authorities pressed nonetheless to determine whether Boston's gangland war had added at least one more nam to its list of 28 known dead in 26 months. SLAYING Page 5 I i5 Sales Tax Means $100 Million More for Cities, Towns This Year Mine Kills 11 at Saigon Bus Stop By EDWIN Q. WHITE AmarlaUd Prctt SAIGON Viet Cong terrorists exploded a powerful mine at a bus stop crowded with Korean and other workers early today, killing 11 persons and wounding 23 others, authorities announced. Korean diplomats said it was believed at least 7 of the dead and 20 of the wounded were Koreans and that the toll might climb as other wounded turned up at hospitals.

Four of the wounded Koreans were in critical condition. No Americans were re ported among the casualties. The blast, latest terrorist incident in a month of increased Viet Cong violence in the Saigon area, was set off by a Claymore type device apparently fitted onto a bicycle. The Claymore, a mine total tax collections by the end of the year. Beginning in 1967, he said, the tabulations released by the Dept.

of Education should approximate the returns to the cities and towns. The estimated revenues are arrived at by a complicated formula which involves school enrollment and property value, statistics submitted to the Dept. of Education. By ROBERT L. LEVEY Globe Education Reporter Town by Town Amounts on Page 3 At least $100 million in state aid to education will reach city and town coffers this year from the new sales tax.

This impact was reflected Tuesday in the official breakdown of state aid payments under the sales tax distribution formula. The listing, tabulated by the Dept. of Education, boosted the state aid fund from last year's $44 million to more than $143 million. With only nine months of sales tax revenue available in the current year, payments to the cities and towns in 19G6 will be scaled down. A budget adviser to Gov.

Volpe explained that the state tax commissioner will adjust 19G6 payments down, based on Although it is often referred to as a state aid to education formula, the cities and towns are not legally bound to spend the increased revenue on their school systems. It is expected that about 80 percent of the revenue col-looted through the sales tax will go back to the communities by this distribution. The most dramatic leap in state aid on the new list was in Boston, which will jump from a return of about $2 5 million to about $16.5 million a year. The department noted, however, that Boston will not receive payments until it com-plies with the state racial imbalance law. Education Comr.

Owen B. Kiei nan said. "It will be neces-sary for me, in accordance with a vote of the Board of Education, to notify the tax commission that no payment may be certified to any city or town whose schools are not being operated in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 641, Acts of 1965." Chapter 641 is the new imbalance law.
