Tension Pervades Malcolm Funeral NEW YORK (AP)--A tense Harlem bade farewell today to Malcolm X, assassinated black nationalist leader, at funeral services that attracted throngs of mourners and an army of police. The _ controversial, bearded Malcolm was sheathed in a white robe for the ceremony in Faith Temple, Church of God in Christ. Police manned barricades that stretched three blocks in front of the church and into side streets. Other bluecoats were stationed in doorways and on rooftops to guard against possi- ble violence.

The tangled area of jungle and undergrowth is in Phuoc Tuy province, east of the South Vietnamese capital. Vietnamese troops have been grappling there for several days with the elusive communist jungle fight- ers. The helicopter airlift num- bered 137 aircraft, mostly troop carriers. The largest previous helicopter airlift numbered 115 aircraft. AIR STRIKES PROCEED The airlift was preceded by a strike of 20 U.S. Air Force B-57 jets and 40 propeller - driven Skyraiders flown by Vietna- mese pilots. Late in the after- noon another strike of B-57s swept down on the area. The military operation was one of two launched a day after the Soviet Union warned that the Vietnamese conflict could "transcend its original bound- aries." The other strike was part of a co-ordinated drive in several parts of Binh Dinh province, 270 miles northeast of Saigon, where the Viet Cong has made strong inroads. Communist activity throughout the country was light during the last, two days in the wake of US. air strikes afainst the guerrillas. Soviet Premier Alexei N. Ko- sygin in a television broadcast Friday demanded that the United States stop retaliatory air strikes against North Viet Nam to create conditions for a negotiated settlement in South- east Asia. He said if "aggressive ac- tions" continue, the conflict "will inevitably transcend its original boundaries." Kosygin also repeated Soviet demands that the United States withdraw its troops and weap- ons from South Viet Nam. U.S. Defence Secretary Rob- ert McNamara said Friday the United States will send addi- tional military forces to specify how many, but Penta- gon sources said about 800 were involved.

(AP) -- "1 saved everybody's life, I saved everybody's life," a five-year- old boy said proudly Friday, un- aware that, hours before, his mother and father had perished in a fire. Little Timothy Rundell discov- ered the fire in a three-storey, brick apartment building and warned 12 other persons who escaped, unharmed. Seven were children, "Somebody must tell that boy what happened,"' a man said. It was 12:30 p.m., four hours after the fire, and the boy did no know his parents were dead. "Timmy, your mother and father are in heaven," a woman finally said. "They're dead," a man blurted. And Timmy, who had been happy all morning sobbed. He had been told previously his par- ents went away His. father, James Rundell, 28, and his mother, Doris, 35, were found dead in a bedroom in their second-floot apartment. the| SMOKE WOKE HIM Timothy said he was asleep in the living rovm about o'clock when he smelled smoke.

The only casualties reported were Elmer Humphries, driver of the tank truck who suffered extensive burns to his face and hands, and a fireman knocked unconscious by the explosion. The 10 adults and 15 children who occupied living quarters in the 18 buildings destroyed were left with only the clothes on their back.

A valve at the back of the tanker broke, spouting the liquid on the street. TANKER WAS STUCK "My truck was stuck on one of those pot holes and I was rocking it back and forth trying to get it going when this chap in the gas truck said: 'Maybe I can help you'," Humphries said. "All of a sudden, there was propane leaking from the back of the truck." "T went under the truck and made sure all the valves were closed, then I ran into a store to call the fire department, The propane started burning -- I don't know what touched it off while I was still phoning." He said he directed firemen to wet down the truck to coql the propane but soon "the saf- ety valves on the top blew and flames were shooting high into the air." Parker, whose truck was car- rying a load of fuel and stove oil, said all he saw was a sheet of flame erupting between his truck and the tanker.
