"I want the killing to stop," he told a Democratic fund-rais- ing dinner Tuesday night in Chicago. But he added, in one of his sharpest attacks on his critics: "{ do not think that those men who are out there fighting for us tonight think that we should enjoy the luxury of fight- tng each other back home." Earlier, State Secretary Dean Rusk told a news conference that the Johnson administration is using all its influence to get the South Vietnamese to put aside "secondary issues and unite in the main tasks of fight- ing the war and building a new political system."

Second Gemini | Shot Planned CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP)| While an investigation board} studied the multi-million-dollar failure of Gemini 9's Atlas- Agena target rocket, ground crews pushed ahead today in hopes of launching astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan in two or three weeks. When Stafford and Cernan can make another stab at their ren- dezvous and space-walk mission will depend on the precise cause of Tuesday's failure. The results could affect not only the Gemini 9 date, but also several other Atlas boosted space launchings scheduled here and at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in the next two months. Officials of the National Ae- ronautics and Space Administra-} tion said they were confident; that a quick rescheduling of Gemini 9--plus the launching of the three remaining Gemini flights at two-month intervals-- would provide all the data nec- essary to proceed to the three man Apollo moon project 29 ' : a LONDON (CP) -- A cabinet} KILLED SEVEN emergency committee today) Seven members of the Zim-|prepared to consider demands babwe African National Union,|for an official clamp on rising one of Rhodesia's banned Afri-|food prices resulting from Brit- can nationalist parties, were ain's merchant seamen's strike, killed in the battle. now in its third day.

In Toronto, Health Minister Matthew Dymond of Ontario said the announcement repre- sents no change in attitude. "They have always said they would go ahead at that time." Dr. Dymond said he wanted to see and study the federal leg- islation before he made further comment. He said the Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan is not static, and will be changed as necessity dictates, The four requirements the federal government has set are: ~-Coverage of 90 per cent of the province's population from the start of the program, with an increase to at least 95 per cent after three oper- ating years, --Benefits to cover the full range of medical care by gen- eral practitioners and special- ists, --Full portability of benefits from province to province.

Statistics indicated the mini- mum salary to quality for NHA housing was $6,500 a year. Mr. Scott said this left 7,637,- 000 Canadian wage-earners out in the cold, Premier Robarts said in an interview Tuesday that Ontario taxpayers probably will pay half the cost of the federal plan even if the province doesn't join it, Dr. Dymond said the Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan -- OMSIP -- could move smoothly into any other plan that comes along.
