Ask House Vote On Pay Raises WASHINGTON UPI — The House was asked today for the fourth — and hopefully the last — time this year to vote on the sticky election-year question of whether to grant itself a pay raise. A vote was scheduled on a compromise S566 million federal pay raise bill which includes S7.500 - a - year salary' hikes for all representatives and senators. The pay raise bill, which covers all the government's white collar workers but accents higher salaries for top-level executives. is a priority item on President Johnson's list of “must” legislation. It is designed to attract and keep top level personnel in government. Economy Hams CHICAGO UPI — A Chicago meat packer plans to market one-pound hams for people who don’t like leftovers. 20 Years Ago Miss Harriet Alice Seller was visiting in Frankfort.

Vote On Poverty Bill Due Friday WASHINGTON UPI —House leaders are working feverishly behind the scenes to muster the votes they must have by Thursday or Friday for President Johnson’s anti-poverty bill. The official word from the bill’s backers is that the votes have been secured to pass the top-priority measure. But opponents are saying publicly, and some supporters are conceding privately, that a sure majority has not been nailed down. Debate on the bill is scheduled to begin Wednesday. The $962 million measure is designed to give new skills and work experience to underprivileged youths, help finance local anti-poverty projects and offer new sources of assistance to small businessmen and farmers In poverty areas. Similar, but slightly less expensive, legislation passed the Senate last

month.

The key to passage of the bill, w’hich is Johnson’s major offering to Congress under his own name, is to get support of southern Democrats. Assignment of the bill’s management to Rep. Phil M. Landrum, DGa.. was designed to help lure the Dixie members. Nine Entombed Miners Rescued CHAMPAGNOLE.

Negro Rioters Battle Police In Jersey City

JERSEY CITY, N. J. UPI— Hundreds of Negro rioters went on a rampage through city streets for the second time in 24 hours Monday night, hurling Molotov cocktails and daring police to stop them. Two young Negroes were shot and 13 other persons, including two policemen, were injured. The two youths were not seriously wounded, but many of the injured had to undergo medical treatment before law and order was finally restored shortly after midnight, about four hours after the trouble began. About 350 steel-helmeted police were at the scene of the rioting, and as in previous uprisings in the New York metropolitan area, it was the mount ies who led the charge into the angry mobs in an effort to disperse them and quell the violence. Poliee arrested between 15 and 20 Negroes on disorderly persons charges during the riot. Hopes for forming a unifii* front to prevent further outbreaks suffered a sharp setback early today when city officials announced their refusal to negotiate with civil rights leaders. The announcement came after civil rights leaders walked out of a meeting with Mayor Thomas Whelan and neighbot-

hood residents in which bitter words were exchanged over proposals for curbing the disorder. A clergyman who sat in on the discussion, the Rev. Joseph Helle. said Whelan’s vow to meet “force with force” led to the collapse of tne meeting. A spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE* said as he left the city hall meeting: “He’s going to solve the problem with a nightstick.” The violence followed the same pattern of the previous night when 32 persons were injured in outbreaks of rioting and looting. Scattered looting also accompanied Monday night's melee. Aside from the charging mounties. police fired volleys of shots into the air and used nightsticks in attempts to clear the streets of the mobs. They

SAIGON. Viet Nam UPI — The U.S. Seventh Fleet sailed strengthened patrols off Communist North Viet Nani today with orders straight from President Johnson to shoot to kill if

attacked.

The destroyer USS Maddox, which repelled an “unprovoked attack” Sunday by three Rus-sian-built North Vietnamese P4 patrol torpedo boats, was joined on patrol station in the Gulf of Tonkin by the destroyer USS C. Turner Joy. Previously, the job of observing Communist shipping in the Gulf had been handled by one destroyer at a time without continuous air cover. Today, by command of the President, the two destroyers w-ere screened by a combat air patrol from the carrier USS Ticonderoga, on station 200 miles to the south. This was 100 miles closer than its previous

position.

U.S. warships were under new and stronger standing orders. Before Sunday’s apparently unprecedented incident, they were expected to repel any attack but not to pursue the at-

tackers.

But Johnson said that from now on they will “attack any force which attacks them in international waters. .. not only w’ith the objective of driving off the force but of destroying it.’* The 3,300-ton Maddox saw action in World War II. The 2,800-ton Joy is a postwar Sherman-class destroy erj launched in 1958. Up to now the Seventh Fleet has observed the 12-mile offshore territorial limit-claimed by the Communist powers, though the United States officially recognizes only a threemile limit. The President's announcement did not specify whether the 12-mile limitation would continue to be observed.
