There also has been a sharp increase in terrorist kidnapings, murders sabotage.

It said that if the elections were a failure, this would provide "momentum to force a new political crisis."

Judge Alvin Rubin ruled Monday that the allegations by Walter Sheridan, an investigative reporter for the National Broadcasting and Richard Townley of NBC's New Orleans affiliate, WDSU-TV, were sufficient to require hearing.

Kennedy, who was slain Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, Tex. "He said if Sheridan was required appear before the grand jury he would be forced to match legal wits with Garrison without an attorney.

Rubin, however, denied a request by Sheridan and Townley that Garrison be enjoined from prosecuting them on public bribery charges. Tht two newsmen were accused by Garrison of attempting to get his assassination probe witnesses to change, their testimony. Townley also charged with intimidation of state witness. boys and prostitutes, increasing the cost of living, increasing and letting our men be pushed into death."

From this it appeared that the Viet Cong is assuming Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky-the military candidates will be elected president and vice president. The sources said elaborate antielection plans have been drawn for all four of South Vietnam's military corps areas.

These plans were said to for propaganda meetings in villages and hamlets to warn people not to go to the polls.
