SAIGON AP The Supreme Court, reportedly under pressure from President Nguyen Van Thieu and the United States, cleared the way today for a two-man presidential race.

It reinstated Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky on the Oct. 3 ballot to oppose Thieu. But Ky deferred his decision whether to run, telling newsmen through his press office that he would announce his decision Sunday. He canceled a scheduled afternoon news conference today. There was no immediate reaction from retired Gen.

Duong Van Minh, who withdrew from the election Friday, leaving Thieu unopposed at that point and throwing the political situation into turmoil. Ky Assurance Sources said Ky had assured Minh in a meeting four hours before the Supreme Court decision that he would not run, even if the court ruled in his favor. Regardless of decision, his and names will appear on the ballot. The election law states that do not have the right to after the supreme final posting of candidates, which took place this afternoon. Ky still could choose not to campaign.

U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker was said to have played a key role in maneuvering Ky back into contention, thus giving the appearance of a reasonably fair South Vietnamese presidential election. Earlier Complaints By one reliable account, the 77-year-old ambassador convinced Thieu it was important to have a two-man race while also assuring Ky that the United States would treat him as a serious candidate. Ky backers had complained earlier in the campaign that the United States was downgrading Ky as a didate and paying attention only to Minh, as a challenger to Thieu. Like Ky, Minh had repeatedly charged that Thieu was rigging the election and said Friday: decided to withdraw because I cannot help in a dirty farce that can only make the people disbelieve in a democratic regime The Supreme Court decision came only minutes after Bunker and Ky had met for an hour at the vice villa.

Earlier Ky and Minh had conferred for an hour. Court Position Reliable sources said Bunker, in an 11th hour meeting with Thieu Friday after Minh had pulled out of the race, persuaded Thieu to tell the court to reinstate Ky. The nine-man court is Thieu- appointed. Eight members are reportedly aligned with Thieu and the ninth is a friend of It was known that Bunker relayed to Thieu a strong warning from President it would be difficult to get the U.S. Congress to approve more aid to the Thieu government if there was only one candidate in the presidential race.

Roos. Enthusiastic Response A telephone hookup to Kansas City brought enthusiastic response for the proposal from Kansas City Mayor Charles B. Wheeler and Jackson presiding judge, George Lehr. Backbone of the program proposed by Hearnes were $475 million in bonds to finance highway construction, which he said would generate $1.4 billion in a long-r8nge program. The program would also include $30 million in bonds for airport construction, $150 million for rapid transit systems, $15 million for improvements in municipal bus systems and $10 million for bridge construction and rehabilitation on country roads in rural sections.

The funds for improvement of municipal bus systems, he said, would go to St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, St. Joseph, Columbia and Jefferson City, generating $45 million for the systems. The inclusion of rapid transit in the proposal and earmarking of $15 million for a St.

Louis regional airport brought praise from Roos. Cervantes, who was not at the news conference, later called for negotiation in the amount of money to be set aside for rapid transit, calling $225 million the minimum Kansas City and St. Louis need.
