Ont., are ineligible for citizenship be- cause they say they do not be- lieve in God. This view has been based on the requirement in the Jaw: that applicants for citizenship must swear an'oath of allegiance. It contains the phrase; "So help me God." Immigration Minister Nichol- son told the Commons Tuesday that the government does not agree with the courts' decision and thinks it should be fought all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, if necessary.

Officials said a statement by Preside t Johnson, denouncing the attack on the embassy, in- dicated no special retaliatory action was being planned. In his statement, issued late Tuesday 18 hours after the em- bassy attack, Johnson an- nounced he would ask Congress for authority and funds to build a new U.S. embassy in the South Vietnamese capital. The request may go to con- gress today. There is no reason to doubt that Congress will com- ply with. this request. It was not known if Johnson's statement was the extent of the U.S. response to bombing of the embassy. CALLED 'OUTRAGE' "The terrorist outrage aimed at the American embassy in Saigon shows us once again what the struggle in Viet Nam is about," the statement said.

(CP) -- Racetrack promoter Roch Des- lauriers testified last Thursday that he provided Bernard Pin- ard, Quebec. roads . minister, with a statement in February of 1964 implicating Yvon Dupuis in an alleged $10,000 influence- peddling payoff, He said Mr. Pinard had asked him to supply proof Mr. Dupuis had been paid. Testifying at Mr. Dupuis' pre- liminary hearing on an influ- ence - peddling charge, Mr. Deslauriers said under ques- tioning that the statement sup- plied to Mr. Pinard was false. The statement outlined circum- stances under which Mr. Des- lauriers allegedly paid $10,000 to Mr. Dupuis while trying to get a racetrack charter from the Quebec government in 1961. A Canadian Press report last Thursday of Mr. Deslauriers' testimony did not make clear that Mr. Pinard did not: know that the statement was false and that he sought only to ob- tain the facts in the case. The Canadian Press is glad to make this clarification of its earlier report. The CP report also errone- ously said the information: pro- vided to Mr. Pinard was a statement under oath. It was merely a written statement.

In Saigon, U.S. embassy per- sonnel returned to their bomb- battered offices under the pro- tection of tight security meas- ures. Only about half of the em- bassy staff was at work, and many of those were heavily bandaged. Two more South Vietnamese died of injuries suffered in Tues- day's terrorist attack, bringing the casualty toll to two Amer- icans and 18 South Vietnamese about 70 U.S. and South Viet- namese aircraft struck at six radar installations. The targets were all in the area of Vinh, a coastal city about 160 miles north of the 17th parallel and the same distance south of Hanoi. It was the largest number of air strikes yet made against the north in any one day and the 15th raid since the raids on the north started Feb, 7. The attacks were made by land- and sea-based U.S. jet bombers and South Vietnamese Skyraiders. Bad weather-over some of the targets hampered operations but where conditions were suitable the American and South Viet- namese airmen claimed up to 80 per. cent of their targets were destroyed. All raiding planes returned safely but earlier in the day an F-100. weather plane was hit: by dead; 65.
