Ho previously had scoffed at this possibility, "How can they talk about in the immediate vicinity of Saigon? he said in an interview in April. FEARFUL OF WAR Despte his derision, Ho prob- {ably is deeply worried over the effects of an American-South Viet Nam strike at the North or the possibility of open war- fare between the North and the South.

This is sheer stupidity," the North Vietnamese people must be repaid. "The Chinese people will ab- solutely not sit idly by without lending a helping hand." The Chinese statement made no mention of any impending Chinese air or naval action against the United States in the Gulf of Tonkin. The U.S. at- tacks on North Viet Nam con- stituted the first step in extend- ing the war in Indochina, the statement said. The situation was of the utmost gravity.

SAYS TOWNS BOMBED The Chinese statement said the U.S. had already made "many armed provocations" against North Viet Nam, includ- ing the bombing earlier this month of North Vietnamese coastal towns. The interpretative statement was worked out at an all night emergency meeting of the coun- try's top leaders, reliable sources said. Observers said the statement could be the basis for immedi- ate Chinese counter action in the Gulf of Tonkin. On the other hand it could simply be justi- 'fication for future action in case of a further deterioration in the Indochina situation. It was noted the statement was issued after the official New China news agency had quoted U.S. Defence Secretary Robert McNamara as saying that air reprisals against North Viet Nam had ceased and only naval:patrols were continuing. Most diplomats here were convinced that China, despite tiugh words, is loath to get in- volved in a direct conflict with the U.S. in Southeast Asia, es- pecially if Russian military sup- Abandon Hope For 5 Miners CHAMPAGNOLE (CP)--Hope was abandoned today for five men still missing deep in the Mont Rivel limestone mine near this French community. Mayor Andre Socie told re- portérs "'for us Mont: Rivel is now a mount of tragedy." Three different attempts to reach the missing men from the side and above ended in failure or were abandoned, _ Two small vertical sounding drills continued to pierce the mountain in the hope of some trace of a truck contain- ing one of the men efitonibed by a cave-in 10 days ago. But officials said it was too late to pull anyone out alive. Rescue teams broke into a section where two of the miss- ing men were believed to have tapped out signals until three days ago. The chamber was empty and mounds of rubble prevented an advance into other parts of the mine. Fourteen men were trapped in the huge underground: laby- rinth July 27.

The fleet of high-flying, twin- engine Canberras sped to Saigon unheralded while a steady shuttle of transport planes completed overnight a buildup of troops and material in the area adjoining the North Vietnamese frontier. ( Air traffic came toa virtual halt today. The general feeling in Saigon was that, if nothing important happened in the next 2% hours, the Gulf of Tonkin crisis probably would be past. The alert status in South Viet Nam's capital was nowhere near what it would be if an at- tack were considered imminent. There was no public an- nouncement of the arrival of the B-57s but they wene seen by a correspondent on a runway apron occupied Wednesay by six supersonic F-102 Delta Dag- ger fighters from Okinawa. The F-102s were gone, perhaps to augment defensive aerial forces at Da Nang, a base on the South China Sea 280 miles northeast of Saigon. which also lacked confirmation elsewhere. One was a story that Ho Chi Minh, president of North 'Viet Nam, had been replaced 'by a pro-Peking subordinate in the North Vietnamese Communist party. The other was that two squad- rons of Soviet-made MiG fight- ers had been flown into North Viet Nam. The spokesman said he "had nothing to back up". the rumor about Ho Chi Minh.

The Senate foreign relations and armed services committee sped the resolution to the Sen- ate floor for what Democratic and Republican leaders hoped would be quick passage there. They did so after State Sec- retary Dean Rusk asked them to put Congress on record as leaving communist aggressors "in no doubt whatever" of the unity and determination of the American people to defend Southeast Asia against Red ag- gression. Only Senator Wayne Morris Dem. Ore.), a member of the foreign relations committee who has denounced the resolu- tion as a "'pre-dated declaration of war" in Asia, voted against it.
