Tomorrow's temperatures in the Bay Area will be back in the 75 to 85 degree range, the weatherman said, resulting from another high pressure system coming in off the coast in the wake of a storm in the Pacific Northwest. The Bay Area, particularly Oakland, may begin warming up late today, according to the weatherman. If the warm air mass moves more slowly the heat wave will resume tomorrow.

Oakland had a refreshing 77-degree high yesterday, nine degrees lower than Tuesday. The inland areas, however, did not have even the one-day respite. As the weatherman had forecast, they continued hot with 90 degrees at Liver-more, 86 at Pittsburg and Pleasanton, 84 at Danville and Concord and 83 at Walnut Creek. ML 94th YEAR, Lt. Gov.

Robert H. Finch said today that he will press for the University of California Regents to adopt "clear guidelines" on use of campuses for anti-war demonstrations as the Regents began a two-day meeting in Davis. Finch declared that U.C. Chancellor Roger Heyns could not stop unauthorized campus rallies this week which were organized by students in the face of a court-ordered ban because "the campus police were and out-manned." "Part of the confusion," he said, "was the failure 'of the Regents to face up to his (Heyns') problem. It's time we took a position.

Meanwhile, U.C. Dean of Students Arleigh Williams said last night his office tomo-row will mail a score or more of letters to students "informing them of willful violations of university rules during unauthorized rallies held in the past three days." "At those rallies," he said, "university officials warned participants that they faced possible disciplinary action." Williams said that students receiving the letters would have to report to his office for a hearing. "Based on information brought out at the hear- ing, I shall recommend action by the chancellor ranging fromdircppirig thecharges "ton the dismissal of the students from the university," he said. The dean added that his office is trying to determine what legal action can be brought against some six or seven non-students who participated in the unauthorized rallies.

WASHINGTON (A P) -Sometime in the next few months President Johnson is likely to stop bombing Vietnam in a new test of possibilities for ending the Vietnamese war. Such action has been widely and persistently demanded by critics of the President's war pol i many consider it virtually inevitable. But they hold little hope now it will lead to peace talks. On the contrary, there is growing belief here the war may never be settled by negotiations that in the end it may simply, fade away, with NO TERRORISM Calm Marks Final Stage Of Vie Vote By RAYMOND LAWRENCE Foreign News Analyst South Vietnam's last general election campaign, in remarkable contrast to the two previous ones, is nearing a close in unprecedented calm. Millions of voters will turn Hcuse of Representatives and selection of the 137 members completes the new political structure.

But the massive Communist terrorism thai characterized the election of a president, vice president, and 60-man Senate in September has not reappeared and with only three campaigning days remaining it is unlikely that the Viet Cong can generate much large-scale intimidation voters. Having failed dismally to prevent a huge turnout in the previous elections (83 per cent of the registered voters cast a 1 1 in the presidential Continued Page 3, Col. 2 l'M LOOKING BETTER At 1 TUHTIMC Pause in Expected HIGHTOWER Communist military operations subsiding into small scale guerrilla activity and terrorism. The basic assumption underlying this view is that U.S. and allied military might well prevail over forces in South Vietnam and will make the war too costly for North "Vietnam to continue.

The bombing of North Vietnam is considered by President Johnson and Secretary of State Dean Rusk to be an important means of imposing that heavy cost yet also is a pressure which can be with-. drawn when timing is right to probe President Ho Chi Minn's attitude toward peace. U.S. leaders believe if Ho Chi Minh does not negotiate snort of defeat, he will see his forces in the South and his resources in the North slowly ground down to a state of military impotence. They assume he will want to stop the war before that point is reached and retire to rebuild his strength and perhaps to fight again another time.

The game of trying to read the minds and assess the intentions of the government in Hanoi has been going on for almost three years. Opinion here on peacemaking has vacillated between the feeling Ho would agree to negotiations and the thought he will refuse to do so on any terms acceptable to President Johnson The greater emphasis now given to the fade away theory is due in part to Ho's persistence so far in rejecting Johnson's various overtures and those of many other would-be peacemakers.

Military spokesmen today also reported American bombers hit North Vietnam in a 100-mission assault in which one U.S.

arid one Communist" plane were shot down. Following up Tuesday's battle near Saigon in which 103 Communists and 58 Americans were killed, in a Red ambush, North Vietnamese troops 20 miles deep in South Vietnam trapped a Leatherneck platoon yesterday, spokesmen said. The Commu-nists used pellet-spraying mines to block Marine rescuers and killed 10 of the Leathernecks and wounded 19. No Communist losses were reported. In the air, U.S.

pilots battled through packs of MIG interceptors and heavy' flack yesterday and bombed the North Vietnamese port of Haiphong, and other targets near Hanoi and the Red Chinese border, spokesmen said. The steadily Increasing part that U.S. troops are taking in the war was reflected in casualty totals announced today which showed 7,263 Americans have been killed in action since the first of the year.
