Miami Herald-Los Angelas Times Wire UNITED NATIONS NY The Soviet Union is preparing to send North Vietnam more sophisticated weapons including intermediate range missiles according to diplomatic sources here The reports have stirred grave concern among a number of diplomats who foresee the most dangerous period of escalation and counter-escalation in the history of the Vietnam war Sources close to the Soviet Union here report that Soviet officials have discussed privately a carefully stepped up gradual response to the US if the Americans continue their escalation The next probable Soviet response would be an improvement of North air defenses by shipping ground-to-air missiles of the SAM-3 type to augment the existing installations of SAM-2 antiaircraft missiles This would be followed in all probability by deployment of a limited range missile possibly with a radius not exceeding 200 or 300 miles according to this same source Another diplomat reported that the Soviet Union is considering deployment of a missile comparable to the American Polaris which has a range of close to 2000 miles The introduction of d-to-ground missiles would for the first time give North Vietnam a capability of hitting US warships offshore as well as targets south of the Demilitarized Zone Gov Claude Kirk backed away Monday from his veto of nearly SI million in federal money for child Day

Republicans should continue to support open-ended unilateral commitment to an Asian land The 91-page staff paper whose publication was approved by Senate Republicans last week accused President Johnson of exercising discretionary in escalating American forces in Vietnam Charging that Presidents Kennedy and Johnson rejected rather than followed the Eisenhower administratin' policy toward Vietnam the' staff report said: making any further decisions to support or differ with the President Republicans might agree to seek hard realistic answers to two basic questions: precisely is our national interest in Thailand Cambodia Vietnam and Laos? WHAT further lengths are we prepared to go in support of this Publication of the staff report did not necessarily imply endorsement of it by any particular Republican senator but its issuance seems certain to strengthen the arguments of those Republicans a minority within Turn to Page 2A Col 8 a Klavdia Kosygin ill for months Wife Dies Of Cancer MOSCOW (UPI) The wife of Soviet Premier Alexei
