109, ISO. 18 28 PAGES 10 MADISON, Saturday, July 3, 1971 By MURREY MARDER Washington Post-Capital Timas Sarvlc WASHINGTON President Johnsons advisers in 1964 contended that the United States could end up in a nuclear war if it failed to use its power in Vietnam, while others warned of triggering nuclear war if he did intervene massively. A U1 Ini xU PH A m-' The cataclysmic nature of the choices facing President Johnson, as some of his advisers posed them, never were so vividly discernible in public as they are revealed in the secret Pentagon study on the Vietnam war. The advice added up to a risk of nuclear apocalypse no matter which course he took. Two of the most important 1 a at the sub-cabinet level of the Johnson administration raised the stark risk of a slide into nuclear war if the President failed to prevent the loss of South Vietnam to the Communists.

Their grim prediction appears in a November, 1964, summation entitled Courses of Action in Southeast Asia. Lands At Buenos Aires BULLETIN BUENOS AIRES (UPI) -A Braniff international jetliner, hijacked over Texas Friday by a U.S. Navy veteran and a woman companion, landed here safely today on the fourth leg of a two-continent flight with its final destination stlil unknown. The bearded American and his Guatemalan girl friend, who had commandeered the Boeing 707 and ransomed its 100 passengers for $100,000, were reported to have requested asylum in Algeria. Accord-Jng to Alegriaq officials in Rio de Janeiro, it had been tentatively granted.

Four-year-old Bobby Davila, who lives near Pottstown, is quite a bit smaller than his new pet, Dove, an English mastiff, one of the heaviest dogs in the dog kingdom. The pet is only 14 months old and is one of only 230 registered in the United States. When fully grown at three years, she may weigh in excess of 200 pounds. Right now she eats only a pound of meat and eight cups of dry food daily. (AP Wirephoto) In examining the so-called domino theory that Communist control of South Vietnam would topple adjoining nations almost automatically, a theory that preoccupied the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, the 1964 assessment labeled the concept over-simplified.

It projected less-automatic consequences of a U.S. defeat in South Vietnam but carried them further, in a 31-page analysis that stated in its summary: There are enough ifs in the above analysis so that it cannot be concluded that the loss of South Vietnam would soon have the totally crippling effect in Southeast Asia and Asia generally that the loss of Berlin would have in Europe; but it could be that bad, driving us to the progressive loss of other areas or to taking a stand at some point (so that) there would almost certainly be major conflict and perhaps the great risk of nuclear war. This document in the secret Defense Department review of the war bears an asterisk and the following less-qualified footnote: i The joint staff (of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) believes that early loss of Southeast Asia and the progressive unraveling of the wider defense structures would be almost inevitable results of tire loss of South Viet-( Continued on Page 5, Col.

Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute at Houston, which announced By GEORGE ESPER SAIGON (iR Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky said today he sees no obstacles on the South Vietnamese side to the new Communist peace proposal that all U. S. troops be withdrawn from the country by the end of this year. Kys statement came as Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixons national security adviser, met with top U.

S. officials to reportedly map plans for speeding American troop pullouts as part of a major review of Indochina policy. President Nguyen Van Thieu, meanwhile, told newsmen that total American withdrawal by the end of the year is something that the United States and South Vietnamese governments must discuss together. He said he would confer with Kissinger Sunday on the rate of U. S.

troop reductions. In a statement released by his Scientists Believe: Virus of Human Dean Rusk Denies Deceit By LBJ on Bombing Plans Cancer Is Found Ky, who has announced he will oppose Thieu in the Oct. 3 presidential election said the seven-point Viet Cong proposal has three main points. Two of them, he said, were the tying of the release of all prisoners to a total withdrawal of American forces by the end of this year. This is the point that people had predicted before, Ky said.

And the year before I said that the Communists wont give up the opportunity to exploit the prisoner of war problem for this proposal. On the third Viet Cong proposal that the Vietnamese solve their own problems, Ky said: I mentioned this problem on Dec. 9, 1968, when I arrived at Orly airport as the first over-all supervisor for the South Vietnamese delegation at the Paris peace talks. Afterwards, I appealed several times that we Vietnamese sti together to dr rectly solve all problems related to Vietnam in a spirit of people, in a true nature of respecting the peoples By DANIEL A. DROSDOFF RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (UPI) A Braniff International jetliner hijacked Friday over Texas by a U.

S. Navy veteran landed safely at Rios Gal-eao International airport on a flight from Lima, Peru, today but took off 10 minutes later final destination unknown. The Brazilian air force made an apparent attempt to block the runway but failed to prevent the takeoff. A Braniff spokesman said the plane had enough fuel for a 4V hour flight and was headed for Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its final destination was still unknown, however, but the' hijacker and his woman companion were said to be seeking asylum in Algeria.

The Boeing 707 was hijacked by a gunman identified as Robert Lee Jackson, 36, of Alcoa, Tenn. and Lidia Sanchez Archila, a Guatemalan. They were quoted as saying, We are ready to go anywhere offering asylum. The hijacker and his woman companion obtained $100,000 in ransom money from Braniff during a stop in Monterey, Mexico. Jacksons relatives in Alcoa said he had been recently discharged from the Navy and during his last visit home said he planned to go to Mexico.

They said Jackson, father of three daughters, has been charged on several occasions with being absent without leave while serving in the Navy. The Braniff plane landed early in Lima for refueling and a crew change before flying on to Rio. A volunteer crew replaced the tired crew which had been operating the plane at the time of the hijacking. The plane landed at Rio around 10:15 a.m. (8:15 a.m.

There is already huge excitement over the reported discovery at the National Cancer Institute at Bethesda, under whose contract the work was done. The findings still must be checked by many scientists. It may take long study before anyone can positively say that the particles they are growing are human cancer viruses.

Rand once had two copies of the Pentagon study, but those were recalled by the Defense Department after the Times first article.

Later, in an interview in Atlanta with NBC-TV, Rusk, now a professor of international law at Georgia University, said, I cant find any justification for the charge of deceit. Rusk, the highest-ranking member of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations to comment publicly about the disclosures, also told NBC that he felt the United States had underestimated the North Vietnamese. I personally think we underestimated the resistance and determination of the North Vietnamese, he said.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Melvin R.

Laird has moved to prevent further leaks of secret government documents. And The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, formerly restrained by federal court orders, published further stories they said were drawn from the portions of the secret study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in their possession. Rusk said Friday that former President Lyndon B.

Johnson had made no deliberate attempt to i anybody, about Vietnam policy during his 1964 re-election campaign. The Times had reported ear lier that the papers show the Johnson administration reached a general consensus on Sept. 7, 1964, that bombing attacks prob ably would have to be launched against North Vietnam. Johnson said during the campaign he knew of no such plans. The bombing began in 1965.

Thieu, speaking to newsmen after an address to school administrators in Saigon, said the Viet Cong peace proposal reflected no basic change from previous Communist proposals. i Continued on Paae 2, Col.

The board took notice Friday of Morris petition of objection, but approved moving the building to the site when petitions signed by a majority of adjoining property owners said they favored location of the synagogue in the park. Morris, owner of an apartment house near the new site of the historic 108-ycar-oId building, appearing before the board, objected that the structure would be an eyesore. He said he had no objection to the synagogue being located at the upper end of North Butler Street near its intersection with Gilman Street, but opposed locating it at the intersection of Gorham and Butler Streets.
