BROWNE SAIGON, South Viet Nam (JP) A bloodless military uprising aimed at ousting Premier Nguyen Khanh collapsed today and Khanh returned securely to power in Saigon.

He called for "discipline, honor and unity." The attempted coup faltered and died less than 24' hours after 2,000 rebel troops marched into Saigon under orders from their dissident commanders to arrest Khanh as a traitor. Not a shot was fired. JF ROAD TO CLOSED TO KINZUA old General Ky staunchly refused to surrender the Saigon airport to the rebels. The rebels moved into Saigon early Sunday, led by Brig. Gen.

Lam Van Phat, a Roman Catholic who was fired as interior minister by Khanh under Buddhist pressure last week. Later Brig. Gen. Van Due appeared to take charge of the rebellion. The High Point High point of the uprising came when the rebels seized the joint general staff headquarters.

Insurgents aimed guns at the gates and government force's manned rocket launchers on the other side of the compound but did not fire. Khanh was not in Saigon. He returned to the capital briefly Sunday night to confer with Ky and other officers loyal to him, then went to his headquarters in the coastal town of Cap St. Jacques, 40 miles southeast of Saigon. The rebels claimed they had the allegiance of all the important generals in the country including Ky.

But Ky told a newsman he was not with the coup, although his chief defenses at the time were the fighters of his air force and pods of aircraft rockets which he mounted on stands and aimed down the roads approaching the airport's main gate. Realizing that the situation was turning against them, the rebels decided to attack. Ky said a battalion of Rangers was given the order to assault the airport. But the Rangers refused. The backbone of the rebel forces, five tanks with 75 mm cannons, and 15 armored personnel carriers TO FULFILL PROMISE LONDON UP) Moise Tshombe is not going to make his deadline for showing the world a new Con go in three months.

The flamboyant, fast talking sec essionist leader from Katanga took office as premier in Leopoldville July 10 with the brash promise to reform Africa's problem child. With one month to go, Tshombe and the world are still faced with he same old Congo sullen, rebel us and dangerous. Tshombe has added one new and refreshing ingredient to the Congolese stew, a political leader who is constantly on the move and who acts. His stated objectives for the Congo national reconciliation, prosperity and peace are beyond reproach. The Congolese central government has not seen a leader with his energy and dash since the unhappy days of the late Premier Patrice Lumumba.

Corruption, Apathy But Tshombe is being defeated by the same enemies that have frustrated the Congo's leaders from the beginning of independence four years ago tribal hatreds, political immaturity, corruption and apathy. With or without the assistance of the Organization of African Unity, these are formidable foes. Most of Africa's leaders are fighting the same enemies at home with varying success. Tshambe, now dedicated to a unified Congo, is at present facing re bellions in Kwi.lu, North Katanga, Kivu and Oriental provinces. Stan leyville, one of the country's most important cities, is in rebel hands Red Chinese diplomats and agents openly are supporting the rebels with money and advice on guerrilla tactics.

They have been operating H'rough rebel headquarters estab I in Brazzaville and Bujum bura with the complacent assent of the Congo's neighbors, the Congo Republic and Burundi. African nationalist leaders have criticized the United States for supporting Tshombe's central government after opposing him when he was trying to take Katanga out of the Congo. A small number of U. S. transport planes and trucks have been placed at the disposal of the Congolese national army.

Reversal of Policy Washington says there has beer, no reversal of U. S. policy in the Congo. From the first day of independence, Wasnington has worked and spent its money for a united Congo, strong and prosperous en fugh to fill a strategic area in the ieart of Africa. What is going on in the Congolese provinces is not war in the accepted sense.

It is a kind of intertribal mayhem which has been practiced in the Congo for centuries. It has a particular significance now because it is being deliberately provoked by political dissidents supported by Chinese Communists. The real losers are the patient and backward people of the Congo. They have been waiting four years for the bloodshed to cease and the independent Congo to produce the prosperity and peace promised by their leaders.

SESSION IS UNDERWAY IN VATICAN By GERALD MILLER VATICAN CITY UP) Pope Paul VI opened the third and possibly decisive session of the Vatican Ecumenical Council today and called on the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church to clarify their place in church government with regard to him. The pontiff called this task of defining papal bishop authority an issue with overtones for Christian unity the "weightiest and most delicate" task of the council. He said it would complete the concept of papal primary elaborated at the. last ecumenical council. He made clear that sharing of authority with the bishops did not mean a lessening of papal power.

"As successors of Peter and therefore possessors of full power over the entire Church, we have the duty of heading the body of the the Pope said. "Nevertheless our position in no way defrauds you, our brother bishops, of your due authority. "On the contrary we are among the first to respect that sacred authority." The Roman Catholic pontiff chose for the reopening ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica a concelebrated Mass said by himself and 24 of the 2,500 council fathers here from around the world. Voting will take place early in the session on one schema, or council topic, concerning the nature of the Church and one on the duties of bishops.

Harral, Pennsylvania Secretary of Highways, will tour Route 219 Bradford south4 for a first hand study of that' route's promotion of a major north south highwny, possibly a four lane construction from the Shortway to the New York State line. If Mr.

Harral takes a glance toward Kane from Wilcox the above sign may be a reminder that heavy sight seeing traffic already is funnel ing through Kane to the Kinzua Dam area and any improvement to Route 219 will' further increase need for a good access from "Vilcox via Kane on Route 321. Khanh subsequently told a news onference that the chief objective of his government now is to destroy ommunism, colonialism and neutralism while building through democracy. The 37 year old major general, who is in his eighth month as head of South Viet Nam's U.S. backed government, said he was moved by the spirit of unity shown by the armed forces. He evidently referred to the military leaders who chose to back him in the showdown.

"Facing the threat of internal strife, we proved to be very worthy arid we were able to save the precious blood of all our fighters against the Communist Viet Cong," he said. Khanh was seated at the conference table with the top officers who saved him from ouster. These inluded the air force commander, Brig. Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky, who held Saigon airport against the rebels; and the paratroop commander, Brig.

Gen. Cao Van Nien. Notably absent was Brig. Gen. Duong Van Due, commander of 'the rebel forces, who capitulated to Ky early this morning.

1 Before Khanh met the newsmen, Ky and Due had shared a news conference and declared their unity in supporting the government and in resuming the fight against thi" Communist guerrillas. Relief in U.S. In Washington, U.S. officials expressed relief that Khanh remained in power but could not say whether the events would bolster or further weaken his shaky hold in the embattled country. The attempted coup, engineered by a group of dissident generals, was not Rumors that Khanh faced a revolt swept the city Saturday.

It came while Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, the U.S. ambassador, was out of the country. He returned to the.

capital early today after four days of talks in Washington during which U.S. officials said they concluded South Viet Nam needs greater political stability to strengthen its war against he Communist Viet Cong. People Indifferent Throughout the coup attempt, Saigon residents reacted with sullen indifference. Motorists blew their horns angrily at tanks interfering with traffic. Shoppers paid little attention to announcements broadcast from planes with loudspeakers.

Even swooping figher bombers failed to arouse much interest. Had the coup succeeded, it would have been the third in less than a year. President Ngo Dinh Diem was overthrown last Nov. 1, and Khanh took power Jan. 30 from Gen.

Duong Van Minh, leader of the anti Diem uprising. Khanh was nearly driven from office in August and early September by three weeks of violent Buddhist and student led demonstrations against the gov ernment. The new attempt to seize power was led by army generals blacklisted by the Buddhists, to whom Khanh made concessions in an effort to unify the nation, The coup collapsed primarily because most of the units involved were unwilling to fight and because 33 year PROBLEM OPEI!

219 Tomorrow The "Kinzua Road," Route 321 north from Kane to Kinzua, has been "officially closed" since early 1963. But, the road today is handling heaviest traffic in history. On basis of reports from Clearfield and Franklin district highway offices, the existing road will be maintain ed in as good condition as pos sible for local traffic pending the completion of three projects.

Alexis Johnson and his top political aide, William Sullivan, drove through the airport barricade and met with Ky for an hour. Khanh Arrives Khanh arrived at Ky's headquarters from the mountain resort of Dalat, 140 miles north of Saigon. After they conferred with the Americans, Minh, the titular chief of state, arrived.

Due, Ky, and the other officers of both sides affirmed their support for the Khanh government said Khanh was still premier.

They also said they agreed with plans formulated before the coup attempt to begin organization of a new civilian government with a return of all military officers in the government to army life at the end of two months.
