While the new upsurge of bloody fighting was under way near the ancient imperial city of Hue and just south of the sprawling Marine headquarters at Da Nang, U.S.B52 bombers lashed the DMZ and Communist infiltration routes through the jungles to the south with hundreds of tons of bombs. Wave after wave of the high flying bombers--each of them carrying 30 tons of high explosives--struck in support of Marines blockading the six-mile- wide buffer strip between the two Vietnams. The Viet Cong continued to strike back in their own way.

Officials in Saigon reported terrorists killed 33 persons, wounded 52 others and kidnaped 104 in a series of raids last week.

Assembly President Abdul Rahman Pazhwak of Afghanistan lad'journed the world parliament 5:51 p.m. EST Tuesday with an appeal to all sides in the Vietnam war to stop fighting and declare "their readiness to establish appropriate contacts for discussions about the terms of negotiations." "The initiation of such a declaration by any of the parties during the period of truce will in no way prejudice any of. the positions on any side," Pazhwak said. "For all those who honor peace this, therefore, could be the beginning of a beginning for an honorable understanding." Thant was working quietly to carry out a request from U.S. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg to "take whatever steps you consider necessary" to arrange cease-fire negotiations.

A spokesman for Thant said "the secretary general believes Kennedy (Continued From Page 1) prevent publication. In another development, it was disclosed that a telegram sent in July by Sen. Kennedy probably would play a key role if the case does go to trial. The key words in the telegram of the Kennedy family will place no obstacle in the way of publication of Ms work."

He contended that though the Agriculture Department has increased wheat acreage by 32 per cent, "inadequate assurances" to farmers have made it doubtful the United States will have the 1,6 billion-bushel crop the department has predicted.

In fact, Hays said, they did not know the tickets were being bought in their names. One employe admitted she took three trips to Miami, but said she had no knowledge of the other 17 in her name.

Dispute Agreement Mrs.

Kennedy's complaint contends that Manchester had signed a memorandum with Robert Kennedy in 1964 agreeing that the book would not be published without the approval of both the Kennedys. Manchester, however, in a statement issued last Sunday, indicated that he interpreted the telegram as freeing him from the terms of the agreement. Kennedy's telegram follows: "Should any inquiries arise re the manuscript of your book I would like to state the following: While I faave not read William Manchester's account of the death of President Kennedy, President's I know respect of for the Mr. Manchester as an historian and a reporter. I understand that others have plans to publish books regarding the events of November 22, 1963.

Sarcastic Remarks Western observers at the trial said Wortham's frequent sarcastic asides and snapping at prosecution witnesses during the opening day of the trial Monday may have worked against him.

The Soviet prosecutor, Alexander P. Borodankov, had demanded a five year sentence for Wortham and such recommendations usually weigh heavily with a Soviet court. Borodankov had denied that there was any East-West motive to his demand. He said the penalty was "a sufficient response of the Soviet people to two such criminal offenses." The highlight of the trial came Tuesday, however, when Wortham threw himself at the mercy of the court and made a tearful plea for "precious freedom" Under the glare of television lights--part of a Soviet publicity build up to turn the case into a show trial--Wortham said: Regrets Action "This court has the opportunity to grant me freedom. I have brought shame on my country.

I regret this very much. I think I have learned my Gilmour followed Wortham's plea today with a brief, 90- second appeal for leniency.
