The Chief Executive will climax a "non-political" swing through New York state and parts of New England this weekend with a Sunday meeting with Pearson, leader of the nation that is America's biggest trading partner and one of her critics when it comes to Viet Nam.

The meeting is to be held on Campobello Island, off the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The celebrated summer resort, once the summer home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, was dedicated two years ago as the world's first "international' park. White House Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers said Johnson and Pearson would attend the second anniversary observance of the dedication of the Roosevelt-Campobello International Park.

Most of the victims were South Vietnamese civilians but some Americans also were injured. Two Vietnamese drivers died today, raising to three the number killed when Viet Cong mortar shells landed in a U.S. motor pool adjacent to Tan Son Nhut airbase outside Saigon Wednesday night. Three Americans were among 12 persons injured in the attack. At Da Nangj 380 miles to the north, U.S.

Twenty six persons were killed and 15 injured in the crash. The pilot, Marine 1st Lt. Walter Doherty, 22, of Gold Hill, ejected seconds before the crash and escaped serious injury. The plane was carrying two bombs and 20mm cannon shells.

At Hue, the ancient imperial capital some 400 miles north of Saigon, police said 26 persons were killed and 151 injured when a terrorist hurled a bomb into a fairgrounds crowd Wednesday night. Among the dead were eight children, killed while watching activities in a gambling booth. The bomb was formed by two pounds of plastic explosive fused with a hand grenade.

1968 model cars, the House turned today to a bill to improve highways, drivers and law enforcement. The House passed 371 to 0 Wednesday a bill that would require features such as padded dashboards, shoulder -harnesses, recessed knobs and handles, and fail-safe brakes on new model appearing in the fall of 1967. The House-passed measure went beyond a Senate version in its requirement of safety features in used cars two years from now. Its new car provisions were essentially the same as those sought by the Senate. Safety champion Ralph Nader measure "by and large a significant step forward if the government makes sure the industry does not use safety to raise prices at a time when they should be dropping." Action today was on a bill would authorize $270 million over three years to spur a wide range of traffic safety programs ranging from highway lighting to improved driver licensing and training procedures.

A Senate passed bill would devote $465 million to such programs. The differences between the House and Senate safety features bills will be resolved in a conference committee. Both auto safety bills are aimed at reducing death and injury from the "second collision" which occurs when occupants are hurled around inside a car after impact. The companion highway safety bills are aimed at preventing more accidents in the first place. September, 1964, also for a meeting with Pearson, He visited Mexico last April.

London's Suspect Armed, Dangerous LONDON (UPI) --About 500 arnyjd policemen, including commando-trained sharpshooters from Scotland Yard, a suburban Epping Forest with bloodhounds today for an "armed and desperate" scar-faced suspect in the murders of three London detectives. In a rare move to.

facilitate the capture of the last of three suspects in the cold blooded Friday killings, Scotland Yard Wednesday night released a picture of Harry Maurice Roberts, 30, and said he might be disguised as a camper or hiker and trying to flee from London. The picture of Roberts, whose face is distinctly scarred, was splashed on the front pages of several London newspapers today.

Orbifer Takes On Assignment PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) -The Lunar Orbiter satellite tackles its first major space assignment today snapping America's first pictures of the mysterious backside of the moon.

"We expect to receive very good pictures," a national space agency spokesman said. Truman's Letter Jo Writer Critic Of Margaret's Singing Hit By Harry NEW YORK (UPI) --It was well known for years that "give 'em hell" Harry Truman had done just that in his letter to Washington Post music critic Paul Hume for panning Margaret Truman's singing. But the complete text of the letter from the White House was not published nationally unil Variety, the show business trade newspaper, printed it in ruu Wednesday. David Starring, a Bridgeport, industrialist, acquired it from Hume -and sold it to Leonard J.

Horowitz of New Haven, who permitted Varietv to print it. It went like thisi "I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an eight-ulcer man on four ulcer pay. "It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wished he could have been successful. When you write such poppycock as that in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusive that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.

"Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, some beef steak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below! "Pegler, a guttersnipe, is' a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry." The letter was signed H.S.T. Pegler, in the letter, is Westbrook Pegler, a columnist who was vitriolic in his criticism of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family.

When bits of the letter were made public during Truman's presidential year, Pegler's comment to the letter's mention of him was, "let us pray." Committee (Continued From Page 1) the job of drafting a bill aimed at punishing anti-Viet Nam war groups that allegedly have sent money, blood and supplies to the Viet Cong or have attempted to interfere with the U.S. militars effort. The pandemonium which resulted in the arrest of 17 youthful demonstrators at Tuesday's hearing began again Wednesday only minutes after the session got started. Dozens Arrested By the end of the day, dozens of jeering spectators had been arrested, a lawyer for one of the "unfriendly" witnesses had been dragged from the hearing room and charged with disorderly conduct, and seven other lawyers staged a sympathy walkout in protest at the "atmosphere of terror and intimidation." The lawyer who was arrested, Arthur Kiaoy of New York City, was to be tried in a local court today. A Rutgers University professor, Kinoy is an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union and is charge of the ACLU's suit to abolish the committee.

All but one of the 10 remaining "unfriendly" witnesses still to be heard indicated they would not testify without their lawyers. And the lawyers claimed they certainly were not going back to the hearing.

Its rules of procedure stipulate that a witness be afforded an opportunity to be represented by counsel of 'his own choice. Tfie question now was whether the committee- could provide for a witness counsel not of his choice. the 10th Witness As for the 10th witness, he was mustachioed Jerry C. Rubin, an organizer of the Viet Nam Day Committee from. Berkeley, Calif.

He has been sitting in the hearing room for the past two days--clad in a winter-weight unifprto of a soldier of the American Revolu- tion--wiaiting for his chance to tell the world why he thinks America is the aggressor ha Viet Nam. Otherwise, in two days of hearings, the committee has heard from two noisy--witnesses; a reformed member of the militantly Communist Progressive Labor party; a staff member of a conservative magazine who said he "infiltrated" an anti- Viet Nam war group, and a county official from California who witnessed an attempt to block a troop train at Oakland last year. But most of the time the committee members sat on their -raised platform and watched flying squads of U.S. marshals and Capitol policemen carry out shouting opponents of the committee and the American war effort. Nearly 40 were arrested in all, including five young women and a goateed man in clerical garb who told as he was (hustled "I excommunicate you all." Set aside for the moment was A legal challenge--the most serious it has ever faced--to the committee's constitutionality.

Filed toy the same American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who are representing some of the witnesses, the suit is being considered by a special three- judge court. A scheduled hearing Wednesday was postponed indefinitely until the court could decide whether the case belonged be-fore it..
