The warning was delivered by American consular representatives in Hue to Thich Tri Quang, a powerful Buddhist monk in the rebellious northern province. American sources said Tri Quang repeated his demands for U. S. pressure to oust the military government of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky. The American representatives met Tri Quang shortly after rebel fire in the embattled city of Da Nang injured 15 U.

S. servicemen and after rebel troops fired mortars at the U. S. air base near the city. American military sources said they felt none of the attacks were deliberate but exposed American servicemen to additional danger.

As Ky's air force bombed rebel forces in Da Nang and riot police clashed with more than 5,000 Buddhist demonstrators in Saigon, Ky called a "civilian-military national people's congress" meeting for next Tuesday in an effort to end the strife. The congress is supposed to represent a cross-section of the country's political factions and is to discuss the ways of stabilizing the situations before the Sept. 11 election for a constituent assembly. Fifteen U.S. Servicemen were wounded by mortars and rockets during clashes between rebel and government forces at Da Nang and some mortar shells fired from rebel positions landed at the U.S.

air base near the city. But a U.S. spokesman in Saigon said there has been no indication that any fire had been specifically directed against U.S. troops. There was a report that Vietnamese marines loyal to Ky entered a Buddhist pagoda complex in the western end of Da Nang where dissident troops have been holding out and that Costs Rise as Paychecks Get Smaller WASHINGTON (AP) Americans are stretching the already strained family budget even tighter with a sharp new rise in living costs.

At the same time millions of breadwinners are bringing home smaller paychecks. Latest government reports show living costs climbed faster for this time of year than in any similar period since the Korean War, while manufacturing cutbacks sliced the average pay of some 14 million factory workers. The Labor Department said prices for food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, recreation, and other living costs went up four-tenths of 1 per cent in April, the third straight substantial rise in the monthly consumer price index. There was no direct word from the White House on whether the developments might trigger some action, hinted at earlier by President Johnson, to raise taxes or drastically revise his wage-price guidelines aimed at halting inflation. But in a speech telephoned Friday night to a United Auto Workers convention in Long Beach, Johnson said the nation's economy does not depend on the stock market, which has been erratic of late, or on war spending.

He said it is time to "start thinking more soberly and realistically about the fact that ours isn't a roller coaster economy any more." This was one of a number of generalized suggestions the President made after asserting the nation "must go on a new agenda." The price index, at 112.5, showed it took $11.25 to buy items That cost $10 in the 195759 period on which the figure is based. Since January, the Labor Department reported Friday, living costs have gone up 1.4 per cent, the largest increase for that period since 1951. It was matched only once before in any three-month period, in 1958. Higher costs for consumer services including medical care, excise taxes, mortgage interest rates, auto insurance, barbers, baby sitters and beauty shops were largely to blame for the April increase. Food prices, frequently the Costs See Page 4 GOP Resolution Backs Bus Rides Public transportation for students in private schools was favored by Carroll County Republicans in a convention held here Friday night.

Rank Data for Draft Boards IOWA CITY (AP) The University of Iowa faculty council has recommended that the school provide no information on performance of any student to any agency except on the signed request of the student involved. University President Howard R.

Bowen asked for recommendations from the council and the Student Senate before determining a policy on providing information about a student's scholastic standing to his draft board. The Student Senate recom- Production Down; Milk Prices Rising WASHINGTON (AP) Milk prices are edging upward, both at the consumer and producer levels. The trend apparently reflects a drop in production. Average producer prices of fluid (bottling) milk were nearly 8 per" cent higher in early May than a year earlier in regulated fluid milk markets. An Agriculture Department survey'of these markets showed producer prices averaged $5.50 a hundred pounds, 40 cents higher than a year ago.

The increases were found in all regions of the country. Milk production in April dipped 4 per cent below the same month last 13th consecutive month in which output had dropped below the corresponding month a year earlier. The higher prices were reflected at the retail levels. Prices per single quart delivered to homes in regulated markets in early May averaged 29.2 cents a quart, up 1.4 cents from last year earlier and 2.7 cents above the May 1960-64 average. mended earlier that the decision on whether to provide the information be left up to the student.

Bowen still has announced no policy decision. Apparently taking a dim view of using class rank in deciding whether to draft a youth, the council said: "Class rank information involves translation of grade point averages over arbitrarily selected reference groups. "Such transformation can only obscure very real differences in the ability levels of the students in different areas within the same institution or in different institutions. "Rank information also obscures real differences in the difficulty of material in different courses." In Des Moines, a spokesman for the Iowa Selective Service office said local draft boards do not ask schools for such information. He said national guidelines suggest that boards may consider such information if the draft registrant decides to submit it.

But the youth involved decides whether to tell his draft board how he stands in school, the spokesman said. Iowa's other two state-supported institutions of higher learning Iowa State University and transportation for students in private schools, in the school district in which they reside, was introduced by Arthur A. Neu, Carroll attorney. After a spirited floor fight at the Country Club convention site, the measure passed by a 27-18 vote on the third submission to the delegates. Under terms of the amended resolution, the bus transportation would be financed by the district in which the private school student resides.

On the subject of schools, the convention went on record in opposition to the recommended 1,500 minimum school standard. The delegates opposed repeal of the right to work law and supported a resolution demanding reduction of government spending. A resolution that would have sent the slate of state convention delegates to a congressional conclave, if a congressional convention is called later this year, was defeated. The Carroll convention took no stand in support of any individual announced candidate for office. Dr.

Robert Dappen, Manning, was re-elected chairman of the central committee. Mrs. Harry D. Frank, Carroll, was named to replace Mrs. Hubert Knight, Glidden, as vice chairman.

This source said 150 persons were taken into custody and that weapons and grenades were seized. The fighting took place mainly at the Tan Linh Pagoda, one of the secondary structures in the complex, the source said. Witnesses said later the Marines captured a small pagoda and that two bodies clad in monk's robes were lying on its steps. Considerable small arms fire was reported around the main pagoda complex in eastern Da Nang, but there was no indication that the government troops were trying to enter it. Another report said Ky reinforced his troops in Da Nang with 10 planeloads of airborne forces and that these troops had moved on a rebel-held hospital near a pagoda.

The report said there had been heavy fighting with casualties on both sides. First Golf Check- Photo Del Roy Koetz D. E. Koetz Teacher at Glidden, Dies Del Roy E.

Harold Hughes.

First Hughes spotted two carloads of teen-agers trying to erect a beer advertising sign on the lawn of the mansion. The governor, a strapping six-footer, dispersed the youths before police arrived. But while police were still at the mansion, they and Hughes saw a car back into another vehicle across the street and speed away. Police chased the car and arrested John W. Warren, 22, Des Moines, on a charge of speeding and leaving the scene of an ac- ident.
