The Opposition moved a mo-| re- tion of censure Thursday proaching the government for 'failing to take the necessary steps preventing Rivard's es- cape" and for "failing to give the legislature essential in- formation about the The debate continues today.

However, he did not reply to} seven Opposition speakers who asked whether Rivard had re- ceived special! privileges in| Bordeaux. Previous opposition attempts to open the debate were turned aside by the government on the grounds it was not an urgent matter. The Union Nationale got its chance to move the} censure motion when the gov- ernment requested credits to| carry on administration. | 'REGRET' ESCAPE The motion said the Opposi tion was ready to vote the| money but "regretted" the es- cape.

The government issued its strong policy statement against a background of foreigi? diplo- ated settlement of the war. But military. authorities in South Viet Nam appear much less bullish. Reports reaching the Pentagon indicate these authorities feel the contribution of the jetstrikes has been small so far. However, it is. noted that the operation has been under way only since' Feb. 24. Apart from actual damage in- flicted on the Viet Cong, auth- orities evidently hope the jet strikes will demoralize the Com- munists and boost the morale of the South Vietnamese forces. One U.S. adviser was quoted as telling his superiers that South Vietnamese troops Ino area reacted jubilantly. Bet The strikes have been car- ried by F-100 fignter' bombers and 8-57 light bombers. The B-57s flew about 150 sorties in It is said here that the de- cision to use the U.S, jets in- side South Viet Nam grew in part from the appearance of larger concentrations of the Viet Cong. Much of the Red ac- tivity earlier was in the form of ambush and terrorism by relatively small bands of guer- rillas. Considerable official stress is placed hére on reports that U.S. jets have been successful in stalling anticipated Communist attacks and in breaking up Viet Cong concentrations. One cable from Viet Nam spoke. of a claim that one of the B-57 bombings made a hit right on a Viet Cong unit.| There was no proof, it was acknowledged. The same cable report men- tioned a number of B-57 strikes jcausing sec ondary explosions on jthe ground--that is, explosions occurring after the U.S. bombs had gone off. This suggested ammunition stocks had been hit. Although there is official con- fidence that the jet attacks are incréasing Communist casual tangible "proof appears to be| HISTORIC VISIT?

He does not foreclose the pos- sibility of the government's us- ing federal troops to do so, And he foresees swift federal prose- cution of any Alabama state and 'ocal officers he feels are responsible for Sunday's bloody violence against Negro demon- strators. These were the key develop-| ments Thursday at the attor- ney-general's first press confer- ence since assuming the top U.S. law office Feb. 13. Referring to a federal court hearing on a suit by Negroes de- manding an unmolested march from Selma to Montgomery, Katzenbach said: "T think our position would be pretty clear. The court issues lieve that order would be com- plied with. In the event it was not complied with, it would be enforced."

(AP)--A white Boston minister who came to Alabama to join the drive for Negro civil rights died Thursday night, 48 hours after he was beaten by a group of white men. The death of Rev. James J. Reeb, 38, brought telephone calls of sympathy from the pres- ident and the vice-president of the United States and messages from others across the contin- ent. The Unitarian minister and father of four children died at University Hospital where he had been in a coma since brain surgery Tuesday night. Mrs. Reeb was there. Reeb and two other Unitarian clergymen were beaten when they were attacked by a group of white men on a Selma street. The other ministers were. not hurt seriously. Reeb was driven 90 miles to Birmingham, where he underwent emergency sur- gery. Wilson Baker, Selma's public safety director,-said four Selma men had been arrested and charged with murder. They were released later on $25,000 bail each. Baker said Alabama law permits bail on a murder charge if there is any indica- tion a juny will not return the death penalty. Masked Bandits Take $10,000 MONTREAL (CP) Four bandits, said to be armed with machine-guns, held up a bank in suburban Longueuil today and escaped with an estimated $10,000. Police said they believe they now have the men trapped in a house in nearby St. Lambert. Police recovered a car used by the bandits soon after the robbery at the Banque Cana- dienne Nationale at St. Helene Street and Desauiniers Boule- vard.

James Reeb of Boston. The meeting applauded Meth- odist Bishop John Wesley Lord of Washington when he told Katzenbach said he h bmit to President Johnson to- day a draft of a message to Congress on voting. "The underlying problem in all of these events has been the right to vote," he said, 4000 Churchmen Urged To Selma them that many whites and Ne- groes in the South are "'disen- chanted and in great. despair" over the turn of events and that the president's. presence would do much. "His presence, and a. ay) statement of the action he taking, and a resolution in the | Congress, might even yet do much to avert disaster and strengthen the cause of freedom now," Bishop Lord said. RAISE FUNDS ious groups announced the launching of a joint campaign to raise funds for the families of civil rights marchers, including the family of Reeb, a white minister of the Unitarian Uni- versalist church. A statement issued by the Unitarian Universalist Associa- tion Boston, the Southern Chris- tian Leadership Conference, At- lanta, and the Amc-ican Friends Service Committee, Philadel- phia, said they will receive con- tributions.

(AP)--A memo- rial march by Negroes for a white minister slain in Ala- bama's bitter civil rights strug- gle fizzled today. Nearly 100 Negroes stood be- fore a police blockade in this rain-lashed racial battleground but they were undecided on what to do in the face of a stern order from the mayor not to) march. "T'll stay here in the best in- terest of the city to see that there is no march," Mayor |Joseph T. Smitherman told re- |porters at the scene. Smitherman, standing under an umbrella against the driving rain, denied reports from Ne- gro Jeaders of an agreement to let the memorial march be held. The mayor's angry stand knocked down an_ attempted compromise by Leroy Collins, director of the federal Commu- nity Relations Service. Collins had said earlier that city offi- cials agreed to let Negroes walk in small groups to the court- house for their demonstration.
