Saturday, June 24, 19674- THE SUN A-3 By MIKE FEINSILBER SAIGON (UPI) B52 Strato-fortresses today rained tons of bombs on suspected North Vietnamese base camps in the central highlands where increased Communist activity had been reported. It was the third straight day of strikes by the giant bombers against the Communists in South Vietnam. Over the North yesterday, U.S. jets pounded rail supply lines and returned once again to the Nam Dinh thermal plant which furnishes electricity for a key transshipment point in the southern panhandle. Pilots reported good results in the attack on Nam Dinh about 45 miles southeast of Hanoi.

Military officials said the B52s bombed bunkers, trenches and trails in the heavily-jungled mountains north-northeast of Kontum City, about 275 miles northeast of Saigon. Air Force officials reported yesterday that prop-driven A1E Skyraider fighters attacked Communist positions in the same area in support of allied troops "in contact" with the Reds, The central highlands is considered a potential hotspot where North Vietnamese forces have the capability for large scale attacks. U.S. officials say elements of at least two North Vietnamese divisions are believed operating along the Laotian and Cambodian borders in the Pleiku-Kontum areas. U.S.

Air Force F105 Thunderchiefs flying out of Thailand reported their 750-pound bombs destroyed Nam Dinh's generator hall, and heavily damaged the transformer house, the coal processing plant, boiler houses and the auxiliary transformer house. Other pilots hit the key railroad yard, 38 miles northeast of Hanoi, and caught an estimated 100 pieces of rolling stock U.S. B52s Bomb North Viet Base Camps I -vf 3 boxcars, flatcars, engines, etc. on the tracks. Another 35 rail cars were reported destroyed or damaged in strikes at other rail yards and staging areas.

On the ground, South Vietnamese troops reported killing 33 guerrillas yesterday in a sweep through Viet Cong controlled areas in the Mekong Delta about 40 miles south of Saigon. Government casualties were reported light. U.S. 7th Fleet warships patrolling the North Vietnamese coast silenced one and possibly three Communist shore batteries in one of the biggest gun duels of the war, military spokesman reported yesterday.

Dodd, censured by the Senate yesterday Senate Censures Dodd Sill itlltl 'l Mr- JT I .1 k'i HI i n- -f' -i Hong Kong Hit by Riots, Cars Burned New York Time HONG KONG Trouble flared again in Hong Kong last night when mobs burned three cars following a clash between police and members of a leftist union. One man was shot by a police constable and later died in a hospital.

The new disturbances followed a call by the Communist press for a strike by most transportation workers and employes of public utilities. Similar strike calls by Communists have had limited effect in the last few weeks but this time the leftist unions are believed to be making a concerted effort to embarrass the Hong Kong government. The new upsurge in disorder and Communist activity coincides with plans of the governor, Sir David Trench, to leave Hong Kong for Britain on vacation this weekend. It follows general easing of tension and virtual return to normality here. A government spokesman said the strike call was "the last desperate attempt by Communists to create trouble by use of considerable sums of money after all other forms of persuasion failed." The leftist unions are believed to have offered up to $80 for workers to join the strike.

This is equivalent to more than a month's pay for most workers. The government spokesman said it was believed the Communists had spent more than $350,000 in bribes in an attempt to create a "false picture of industrial The transport strike was beginning to have effect last night as bus drivers in Kowloon on the mainland strip of this British colony began abandoning their vehicles. On Hong Kong island, separated by the harbor from Kowloon, a smaller number of bus drivers and conductors stopped work. This afternoon most Chinese employes of one or two power companies supplying Hong Kong's electricity walked off the job but senior European engineers manned the generators and the supply was not disrupted. Communists have also called for a strike in a second power company.

The strike is aimed at the Hong Kong Telephone Company and one of two major ferry companies operating a cross-harbor service. Jetliner Crash (Continued From A 1) Morris Run, about a mile from the crash scene, said the plane was "on fire when it went over the house. It exploded when it crashed." Olson said he was the first one to reach the flaming wreckage. "I didn't see anything moving but the flames. They were going up 100 feet or more," he said.

A Mohawk spokesman said the plane was scheduled to depart Elmira at 2:10 p.m., but was delayed for 25 minutes. Pickets started marching in the morning. At a park a mile away police estimated 2,000 other demonstrators gathered for a rally to hear such speakers as Cassius Clay, whose defiance of the draft cost him his world heavyweight boxing title and brought him a prison sentence. Cheered as he rolled up to the park, in a Rolls-Royce, Clay told the crowd: "Anything designed for peace and to stop the killing of people I'm for 1,000 per cent. I'm not a leader.

I'm not here to advise you. But I encourage you to express yourselves." Officials of the hotel obtained a Superior Court injuction in Santa Monica restraining demonstrators from interfering unreasonably with normal business activities. "The injunction is irrelevant; this is all propaganda," said Donald Dalish, professor of philosophy at UCLA and a leader of the Peace Action Council organizing the demonstrations. "We want out of the war in Vietnam," said actor Robert Vaughn, star of the television show "Man From U.N.C.L.E." as chairman of "Dissenting Democrats" in an open letter to the President. The letter appeared atop a three-page advertisement in Los Angeles newspapers containing 8,000 names.

Among the dissenters listed were actress Inger Stevens and actor Carl Reiner. City officials assigned 1,000 police to guard against disorderly incidents during the President's visit. Sixty cooks and cooks helpers prepared the $1,000 a couple hotel dinner for Johnson and such California Democratic Party personages as Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty and former Gov. Edmund G. Brown.

Filet mignon was the menu feature. Jack Benny was the master of ceremonies. For the demonstrators at the park, some organizers came up with a penny a plate dinner with folk singer Phil Ochs as entertainer. Apple Valley Beauty Named Miss California Sharon McFarland, 18, of Apple Valley last night won the title of Miss California, making her eligible to compete in the Miss U.S.A. contest in Miami next May.

The dark haired green eyed beauty said that she "can't believe it happened." "I'm so glad for Apple Valley. Now people will realize that we have something more than Roy Rogers." She was accompanied to the pageant by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Don MacFarland and Mr. and Mrs.

Leonard Guy, president of the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce. The desert beauty said she plans to go to college in the fall at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where she is a technical journalism major. She said she won a dress and a fur in addition to the three-foot high trophy. (Continued From A 1) ing up a sidewalk-blocking assemblage of 100 demonstrators. Some were carried kicking and screaming to patrol cars.

The big contingent of demonstrators marched a mile from the park. Before they came, they had listened to a peace talk delivered by Cassius Clay, the former world heavyweight boxing champion who was deprived of his title after he refused to be drafted into military service. At the hotel, Johnson said he was glad to talk quietly and straightforwardly with him." And he said he found that Kosygin "came to our meeting in the same spirit." The two leaders met for more than five hours yesterday at the home of the president of Glassboro State College a residence called Hollybush. The President told those at the dinner he has no doubt at all "that it helps to reason together." He went on: "That is why we went today to Hollybush. Reasoning together was the spirit of Hollybush." Johnson said that "there are deep and serious differences" between the American and Soviet societies.

He added a note of caution against unrestrained optimism because of the evident success of his initial talks with Kosygin, to be continued at Glassboro tomorrow. He said: "One meeting does not make a peace. We all know that there have been meetings before, and that they have not ended our troubles or our dangers. I cannot promise you this will not happen again." The world remains dangerous for even the greatest nations, he said, and all "have hard and painful choices ahead of them." However, he said that Kosygin "has been a grandfather longer than I have and he and I agreed that we wanted a world of peace for our grandchildren." The chief executive said he went to Glassboro to serve the purpose of peace. "The world's peace now hangs heavily upon the wisdom the judgment and the understanding of two very great states the United States and the Soviet Union." Both have a grave responsibility for world peace in the nuclear age, he said.

"Every crisis in the last 20 years has necessarily, invoked that common responsibility," he said. "And repeatedly we have seen the dangerous consequences of incomplete understanding. We have also repeatedly seen that when others are irresponsible, in word or deed, a special burden for care falls upon us." The disturbance in front of the hotel where the President spoke ended quickly. About 100 sign carrying pickets, some with beards, long hair and sandals, were parading in front of the Century Plaza Hotel, site of the $500-a-plate dinner. Police said the arrests of both men and women, some kicking and screaming were on grounds of unlawful assembly and for violation of a Superior Court order limiting the number of pickets to two near each hotel entrance.

m4 GRAND ENTRANCE Escorting his daughter Lynda Bird, President Johnson entered Century Plaza Hotel in Los An imm -s 1 mm mmml lt history of the United States to be censured by his colleagues. The resolution of censure stated that he had engaged in conduct "which is contrary to accepted morals, derogates from the public trust expected of a senator, and tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute." The recommendation was based on two findings. The first was that Dodd had diverted his own use "at least $116,083" out of a total of $450,273 received from seven testimonial affairs between 1961 and 1965, and from campaign contributions in 1964. The second finding was that, on seven occasions, Dodd had billed both the Senate and a private organization to which he spoke for his air travel. Under Senate rules, the votes on the two counts had to be taken in the order stated in the resolution first, the diversion of funds, next the double billing.

The final day's proceeding began with a unanimous consent request from Long that, after the voting on the two counts, the Senate then be permitted to vote on the language of censure, with amendments permitted. Behind this move was the hope that if the Senate found Dodd guilty on the first count (which it did) and exonerated him on the second (which it did), then a majority of the members might favor softening the language of censure by possibily reducing it to a "reprimand" or something even less per-jorative. Stennis killed this move by immediately objecting to the request. Next tower moved to alter the phrase "contrary to accepted morals" to "contrary to accepted standards of conduct" on the ground that "the word 'morals' can mean anything," but that everyone knew that standards of conduct were. The motion was defeated, 78 to 18.

Go on Strike The union reportedly turned down an industry offer of a six per cent overall wage increase. Average hourly earnings are reported to be about $4. Among the area firms reportedly affected by the strike are Hauer-Schobert Inc. and Valley Engineering Co. of San Bernardino, Holt Steel Co.

of Fontana, and Specification Steel Corp. and California Pacific Steel Co. of Colton. Most of the affected firms are in Los Angeles metropolitan area. High Court Justice Grants Death Stay WASHINGTON (UPI) Supreme Court Justice William O.

Douglas has granted a stay of execution to Nathan Eli, 23, who had been scheduled to die in the San Quentin Prison gas chamber next Wednesday. Eli's petition to the high court argued he had a writ of review still pending before the court which has filed during the last session but had not been acted upon. Eli was convicted of the San Diego murder of Mrs. Constance Dunn in San Diego in 1965 while a vacuum cleaner door to door salesman. Stallion" were among eight who suffered minor injuries.

The six critically injured, some suffering from burns, were taken to the Navy Hospital at the nearby Camp Le-jeune Marine Base. Those not seriously hurt were taken to the New River dispensary. The New River facility is a part of the Cherry Point Marine Air Station, east of Camp Lejeune, but is only four miles south of Jacksonville, in North Carolina's coastal plain area. The crash occurred at 9:02 a.m. Col.

Tulipane said the weather was fairly clear at the time and there was no visibility problem. (Continued from A 1) self as best I can. I will be here tomorrow. I will be here every day, doing my work as best as I can do it senators need not worry about me running away. I think the only reason I can do that, however, is because" here his voice rose and he lightly pounded his chest "in my heart I do not have any feeling of wrong -doing.

If I did, I do not think I would show up here again. But only time can tell that "I love the Senate, and I like all its members. So I hope senators will find it within their hearts to do toward me as I do to them. I hope my honor is not diminished in your eyes." At that point, as tears crept down his cheeks, Dodd was led off the floor by his counsel, John F. Sonnett, who had accompanied him into the chamber.

Then John Stennis of Mississippi, chairman of the Ethics Committee, which is formally titled the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct, rose and said that "this has been a new venture for the Senate." He said he hoped it would "be a new start for the Senate" and "a new start, too, for Senator Dodd." Dodd, he went on, "is really liked by all of us," and the committee "had a great deal of personal sympathy" for him from the outset of its investigation 14 months ago. "He has behaved under all this pressure in a very exemplary way," Stennis said. "I think the Senate had to face this matter and it did to a great degree." "There is no victory here for anyone," he concluded. Mansfield then said that the Senate had met and discharged its responsibilities. He praised Dodd for his "courage, character and conduct" during his long ordeal.

Thus, on the ninth day of debate, did Dodd become the sixth senator in the Iron Workers An iron workers' union yesterday called a strike at steel fabricating plants throughout Southern California, including some half dozen small plants in San Bernardino County. It was unofficially estimated that about 100 employes at the area plants were immediately affected by the work stoppage. The strike order was given by the Los Angeles office of Shopmen's Local Union No. 509 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers, AFLCIO. The union's head business agent at Los Angeles refused to give any information about the strike or the union "until Monday," but other sources said the strike is over contract negotiations.

A contract between the union and Steel Fabricators Association of Southern California Inc. and other employers expired last May 31 but employes continued to work under contract extensions while negotiations went on. The fabricators' group has called a meeting of its members at 8:15 a.m. Monday at Roger Young Auditorium, Los Angeles. Not all companies affected by the strike are association members.

'copters were attached, said the "Sea Stallion" carried a crew of four and 29 enlisted men who were enrolled in the Marine military subject program. Col. Tulipane said the "Sea Stallion" was coming in for a landing, in which the troopers were to leave the 'copter quickly and assault a simulated pillbox. When the craft was about 500 feet above a runway, the other helicopter rose from the runway. It hit the tail of the troop-carrying 'copter and both went out of control.

They crashed and burst into flames at the end of the runway in a wooded area. Both pilots in the HUE-1 were among those killed.

After departing Elmira, Mohawk officials said, the pilot did not talk to ground flight centers, which is a normal procedure. Several minutes later airport officials at Elmira were advised by the flight center in New York City that the plane could not be spotted on radar. Attempts to establish radio contact with the plane failed.

The plane, a BAC 111, was cleared to fly at an altitude of 6,000 feet.
