Federal troops stood vigil over the citadels of American government today after a Negro outburst raged into fiery, looting fury, then subsided into a smoky, sullen order. A second consecutive night of turmoil left a pall of smoke Senate-passed measure, with its strong open-housing provision about eight votes short of House approval. After a night of burning, loot ing and scattered killings in sev eral cities following the killing of the Rev. Martin Luther King backers were concerned some 50 uncommitted House mem bers might vote against the measure Wednesday. The count now shows aboul 210 firm House votes for the bill with 218 needed for passage if every member votes.

The King assassination also was cited by 20 House Republicans who split with GOP leadership and urged approval of the Senate bill. Swift passage, they said in a joint statement, would be "the most constructive way by which (we) could pay our individua! respects to the memory of Dr Martin Luther King Jr." The 20 members, led by Rep. Charles E. Goodell, said, however, they had reached their decision before King's death. Their action came after influential Rep.

William M. McCulloch, R-Ohio, split with GOP leadership and called for prompt passage of the Senate bill. Republican leaders have urged a House-Senate conference but supporters say that would produce a weakened bill possibly subject it to another Senate filibuster. President Johnson, calling on the nation "to deny violence its victory," has scheduled an address to a joint session of Congress for 9 p.m. EST Monday.

Congressional leaders agree the President is likely to call for House approval of the Senate bill, and ask for programs aimed at easing city tensions.

It left burglar alarms clang- Ing an eerie, unheeded signal from ruined stores along littered streets on the fringes of the downtown shopping area. As a night-long curfew lifted in a chilly dawn, clusters of people ventured into streets criss cfossed by roving police cars. Knots of Negroes, many ap parently waiting for tardy buses to take them to work, stared at the lawmen.

Firemen were still soaking down the ruins of a Friday of arson. And a scattered few looters were still carrying goods from stores with shattered windows. Mayor Walter E. Washington asked businesses outside the three zones of major destruction, all in Washington's vast Negro section, to do business as usual. But the Washington Board of Trade, representing most of the major downtown stores, said its members would be closed.

A vast and depressed Negro section that begins within a mile of the White House appeared to have suffered most at the hands of arsonists and looters in an eruption of violence which reached its peak in the final hours of daylight and dusk Friday. A night-time curfew was imposed. Police and soldiers ordered to duly by President Johnson cordoned off the areas hardest hit, and kept watch on the generally deserted streets through the night. It was the second night of violence for Washington, where 500,000 Negroes live, and it was far more severe than the first angry outburst that followed the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"We were informed that the situation appears to be quieting down and as of the moment appears to be in hand," former Deputy Secretary of Defense Cyrus R. Vance told a news conference early today. Mayor Wilter E. Washington said he asked Vance to help co ordinate the violence-quelling effort. Vance is a lop trouble shooter for President Johnson.

The new cooperative venture was the result of a recent meeting between representatives of the colleges and state officials at Millersville. Millersville has received a $64,000 federal and state grant to purchase equipment for undergraduate studies in oceanography. With it the college plans to purchase a boat and two laboratory-equipped trailers for marine research. They will become the nucleus of the new program.

Eventually it is expected that the consortium will purchase one or two additional small boats.

Police sealed off the Hill district as tactica units and large vans were sent in. The scene was similar in Philadelphia where Police Commissioner Frank L. Rizzo placed shifts of his force on 12-hour duty.

Lancaster's Mayor Thomas J. Monaghan ordered all bars clos ed and banned gatherings of five or more persons late Friday night following outbreaks of row- dyism and vandalism in city's predominately Negro Seventh Ward. In Erie, Negro youths hurled their preparation for stones at firemen battling two 1 fires, which police- set by arsonists. West Chester was plagued by a series of false fire alarms and several minor fires which police said may have been the work of arsonists. The heightening of tension followed a day of vigils and memorial services for the slain civil rights leader throughout the state.

In declaring the limited emergency, effective through 6 a.m. Wednesday, Tate told a news conference that police intelligence sources stressed the possibility of violence. The declaration closed taprooms in the state's largest city, banned gatherings of more than 12 persons, except in normal activities, and banned the carrying of any type of weapons. The slaying of King at a Memphis motel brought outpourings of grief and eulogy throughout the state Friday. Many colleges and universities either closed or postponed classes so memorial services could be held.

Historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia was the scene of a morning memorial service, and police estimated between 1,500 and 2,000 persons gathered lo ins hymns and eulogize King. The tone of Hie galhoviiig was his dreams, wishes and desires," said Charles W. Bowser, a Philadelphia city official. But a more militant note was struck by Stanley Branche, the chairman of the Chester Committee for Freedom Now. "For the black man there is no freedom today.

The country declared war when it killed his 20th Century saint and prophet," he said. Another smaller memorial gathering was held at Philadelphia's City Hall. But violence punctuated the day in Philadelphia. Five white students were stabbed by Negroes, none seriously, at South Philadelphia High School. Later Friday night some 12 white- youths and about 100 Negroes tangled in City Hall courtyard, but police broke it up.

As the day wore on, flags were lowered to half mast in many locations across Pennsyl vania. But as a Palmyn Police Report Two Traffic Accidents Palmyra police this morning reported two accidents. The first occurred Friday at 11:10 p.m. on E. Main Pal myra.

Army staff officers had expected the necessary adminis trative machinery would be starting up by Thursday but the go-ahead didn't come.

The explanation given by Pen tagon authorities was that Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford has been marking be cause of the press of other busi ness. Preparations for the Presi dent's trip to Honolulu to talk about the possible negotiations with North Vietnam were given top priority by Clifford, they said, until it was announced Friday the Honolulu conference was being canceled. The meeting is to be held later. Meanwhile, Gen.

William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, was scheduled to fly into Washington today to confer with Johnson. The unexpected announcement by the North Vietnamese that they are willing to meet with U.S. representatives has prompted speculation that the call-up may be delayed even more, or perhaps canceled.

One school of thought at the Pentagon is that a call-up at this time might jeopardize talks. The conflicting view is that the U.S. posture should continue to be one of strength and deter mination, so as not to give the enemy the idea it can dictate terms of a peace settlement. In his speech to the nation Sunday Johnson gave no figures on the size of a call-up. Early in the week, however, defense officials spoke of a first-stage mobilization of up to 16,000 men, to be followed in the next several months by a muster of up to 50,000 more.

The primary purpose of the call-up is to replace U.S. bases regular troops shifted to Vietnam. AFL-CIO Meeting Closes With Tribute To King PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO convention came to a close as some 2,000 delegates stood in silent prayer in tribute to the slain Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Harry Boyer, president of the convention, called the shooting of King a "terrible, stunning tragedy" and called for "compassionate understanding between people and more humility." As the convention closed Friday, the delegates passed a resolution which called upon officials in Memphis, Tenn.

to bargain with the 1,300 striking garbage workers on strike since Feb. 12. The convention also adopted a resolution opposing a constitutional amendment that would require the state to reimburse local taxing authorities in the amount they would otherwise collect from utilities in property taxes. The organization passed 132 resolutions during its four-day convention. They dealt with mental health, conservation, clean streams, air pollution and factory issues.

PUT OUT CAR FIRE The Union and Rescue Fire Companies responded to a call to a car fire at 12:15 this morning at North King and Church Streets in Annville. Officials said the fire burned out the transmission of a car owned by Barry Wilson, 202 W. Church Street, Annville. No estimate was made of the damage. The fire was extinguished by 12:45.

MY ANSWER I would like to know if the phrase, "Whosoever will may is in the Bible. I am familiar with the song, "Whosoever Will May but I have been unable to find this precise phrase in the concordance. Perhaps you can enlighten me. H.P.G.

The word "whosoever" is used about 90 times in the New Testament, and although the exact phrase, "Whosoever will may Is not used, it is everywhere implied and assumed. It is probably taken from Revelation 22:15 which says: "Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely." The use of the word "whosoever" so many times in the New Testament reveals what we might call the "democracy" of God. His invitation is to everyone, regardless of race, class, or creed. This is what makes the Gospel of Jesus Christ so attractive. I have preached" the Gospel on every continent, without trying to adapt it to any particular culture, and the same response has been evident everywhere.
