SAIGON (AP) South Vietnam's military junta ordered a police and troop alert today after the Provisional Assembly's election committee refused to certify the military presidential ticket headed by Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu. The alert was canceled after two and a half hours.

Premier Nguyen Cao Ky is Thieu's vice presidential running mate in the Sept. 3 elections. The committee's action threw the miltary ticket to the full assembly, which was expected to give the Theiu-Ky candidacy the green light. Candidates must have the assembly's approval to run. and the Thieu-Ky camp is thought to have 84 of tht- 117 votes in the assembly.
