Edward Kennedy, as chairman of the Senate judiciary subcommittee on refugees, protested Saturday that the administration was ignoring humanitarian responsibilities in Vietnam by "sabotaging" and reducing health programs treating civilian war casualties." "The administration is establishing a national policy walking away from our humanitarian responsibilities to the people of Vietnam to the human debris of a senseless and continuing war, the Massachusetts Democrat said. "Hospitals are being programs are being eliminated, and millions are going to suffer because our government is choosing to fuel a war instead of ending it and repairing a broken people." Kennedy offered his criticism in making public a report by the General Accounting Office the investigative agency of Congress on the civilian health and casualty treatment program in South Vietnam.

Civilian Toll The report found that civilian war casualties were continuing at a high level but that the United States was reducing its support of civilian health programs as it pursued a policy of military withdrawal from Vietnam. On the basis of official statistics on hospital admissions, the report said there have been 234,235 civilian war casualties from the beginning of 1968 through August of 1971, casualties, of through 1971 were the first eigh running a monthly average of 3,508. The report found, however, that these official statistics were and understated" for they do not reflect casualties that never reach hospitals. Reflecting a "general trend" in the military health program, the report noted that the Defense Department planned this year to discontinue its Medical Civic Action Program and Military Provincial Health Assistance Program teams which have been operating in Vietnam for more than seven years. Elimination of these military medical teams, the report said, "will adversely affect civilian health" in Vietnam because the South Vietnamese government cannot "fill the gap." Manpower Shortage While conditions in South Vietnamese medical facilities have "generally improved" in the past year, the report said, "the shortage of manpower, facilities and medicines can be only accentuated as the United States withdraws personnel and reduces its financial support." Noting that the United States has been providing 86 per cent of all the medical commodities used in the Soutb Vietnamese ministry of health system, the report said that S.

commodity assistance will be reduced substantially this year, with no alternative source to fill the gap." Kennedy said that the General Accounting Office "make a mockery of our government's claims the conditions among Vietnamese civilians and about the progress and stability of the Saigon government in meeting urgent needs caused by the violence of continuing war. "In contrast to the strong resolve and high priority our government is giving to subport. facilitate upgrade the South Vietnamese military under the Vietnamization policy to continue the war on the civilian side we see vast human need put in the lowest category of concern, slashing budget cuts, and no long-range plans to cope with massive human needs which have accumulated after years of war and Political Advertising Re-elect BILL STATON To State Senate Wake, Harnett, and Lee counties WASHINGTON Harry S. Truman's white frame house in Independence, has been the goal of pilgrimages by Democratic politicians who aspire to the Presidency ever since Truman left the White House in 1953. By the same token, Dwight D.

Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg, was visited by Republican presidential hopefuls, eager words of praise from the party hero, in the years after he vacated the oval office. But there has been no Chiang Says He'll Accept Draft, Run TAIPEI (UPI) Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, 84, who expressed the desire to retire after nearly a quarter of a century as president of Nationalist China, will accept a draft and run for fifth six-year term, a party spokesman said Saturday. Chen Yu-ching, spokesman for the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist party) on Taiwan, said Chiang "will act in accordance with what the nation desires." Chiang also is director-general of the Kuomintang. A nationwide movement to draft Chiang got underway almost immediately after he announced his intention to step down in an address on Feb. 26 to the National Assembly (electoral college).

Chiang was first elected president by the National Assembly in March, 1948 before the Chinese Communists seized power on the mainland and he and his followers moved to Taiwan. He was reelected three times since without opposition. Assembly urged, week ago to Chiang the National "choose a new person of virtue and ability to succeed me as president of the "Under the existing circumstances," Chen said, "President Chiang will respect what public opinion demands." stream of visitors to the LBJ ranch on the Pedernales River these last months no parade of Democrats seeking to associate their candidacies with Lyndon B. Johnson, the last member of their party to serve as President. "As far as the politics of 1972 is concerned," says the campaign for one of the leading Democratic candidates, "Lyndon Johnson is a non-person.

Johnson is the war. The war is poison. So no one goes to see Johnson." Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, his associates report, has not seen the former President since the dedication of the Johnson Library in Austin, on May 22, 1971.

Other Presidential candidates, including Sens. Henry M. Jackson and Hubert H. Humphrey, were also among the guests that day. Humphrey, was Johnson's vice president.

from 1965 through 1969, has had no private conversations with his former months. They last saw each other, according to a Humphrey, staff member, at a Washington reception on Nov. 12 given by former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford. Sen. George McGovern and Mayor John V.

Lindsay have not been to the ranch either. They are among the most vociferous critics of Johnson's war policies in Indochina. The sole exception to the pattern among the most prominent candidates has been Jackson, who is also the candidate whose platform most closely resembles Johnson administration policies. Jackson and his wife, spent the weekend of March 19-20, 1971, at the ranch. Johnson has said nothing publicly about his preferences for President, but his protege Lt.

Gov. Ben Barnes of Texas, has indicated that he leans toward either Jackson or Muskie. Libyan Force Said Near Israel BEIRUT (UPI) -Arab newsmen reported Saturday that at least 100 Libyans have crossed the border from Syria Lebanon to reinforce Palestinian guerrillas in the Arkoub region bordering on Israel. In Tel Aviv, Israeli armed forces chief of staff Lt. Gen.

David Elazar warned Lebanon and Syria of more reprisal attacks unless they guerrilla strikes from their territory against Israel, At the same time, he expressed hope that Israeli military actions "over the past 10 days would yield positive results and bring quiet to those frontiers." Guerrilla sources in the area refused to confirm or deny the report of Libyan reinforcements. There was no official Lebanese comment. The newsmen said Lebanese officials had received reports that the Libyan guerrillas crossed from Syria and were camped near the border village of Chebaa. According to the reports, the Libyans were flown into Damascus during the past week aboard two planes which were refused permission to land at Beirut because they were said to be carrying war supplies for the Palestinian guerrillas. Earlier in Beirut, exiled Gen.

Mohammed Omran, a former Syrian vice premier who had lived in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli for the past three years, was shot and killed Saturday when he answered a knock on his door.
