They reopened it one hour after a U.S. Army convoy challenged the blockade. It was not known immediately whether the barricades were lifted because of the U.S. chal- lenge or whether the Commu- nists' had planned a shutdown of only three hours.

The fourth successive shut- down of the Berlin highway links came a day after the Bundestag, the lower house of the West German parliament, -- a one-day meeting in Ber- in.

They also buzzed Berlin airports and planes flying in the air corri- dors, Most of the 400 Bundestag members were flying through the corridors in commercial air- liners today to get back to the convoy with 44 men had started toward the city. | NEW HARASSMENT | At the same time, East Ger-| many came up with a new type) of harassment of Berlin.

FEW SPECTATORS Only a handful of spectators turned up for the vote-counting. There had been earlier indica- tions that the government would get more than enough backing from opposition mem- bers to stave off defeat in the rules - scheduled vote, first in the throne speech debate. Today, backbench members were to dominate the debating time heading towards Friday's jscheduled vote on a Conserva- tive non-confidence motion that charges, among other things, "indifference and neglect of the prime minister in refusing to take action to eradicate wrong- doing in high and low places."

Ringo added: "'If he shows talent as a musician, I'll be pleased. But if he is no good I won't encourage him." Ringo, whose real name is Richard Starkey, and Maureen, whose true first name is Mary, had known each other for three years before their wedding. SAIGON (AP)--U.S. officials claimed today that up to 200 Viet Cong guerrillas were killed Wednesday night in a major battle with South Vietnamese marines in Binh Dinh province, about 320 miles northeast of Saigon. Five South Vietnamese were reported killed and 25 wounded. It was the second major suc- cess claimed this week in the ground war against the Commu- nists. U.S. officials. reported Wednesday that 276 Viet Cong were killed and 33 captured in a three-day battle in the Me- kong Delta 130 miles southwest of Saigon. Six Americans and 16 South Vietnamese soldiers died in that battle. In Saigon, young naval offi- cers staged a mutiny against their commander, Admiral Chung Tan Cang, but the revolt appeared to have the approval of the government and the other South Vietnamese armed forces.

The external affairs minister Said the plan was not in the hands of the Canadian govern- ment last Friday, that a text of the president's Wednesday night speech reached the ex- ternal affairs department about 7 p.m. Mr. Martin said the U.S. gov- ernment is prepared to open ne- gotiations now without insisting on a cease-fire or other pre-con- ditions. But any settlement of the war would have to meet several conditions. Mr. Pearson said the amount of money Canada would be pre- pared to contribute to President Johnson's proposed program of aid would depend on the extent of the program. Replying to a question by Stanley Knowles (NDP -- Win- nipeg North Centre), Mr. Pear- son said Canada had already made contributions to UN aid programs in the area and would be prepared to widen its con- tributions in proportion to what- ever further program should be proposed. BOOZE HALTING REPLY TO TAX WEST LOTHIAN, Scotland (AP) -- A Scottish politician called. Wednesday night for a one-month stoppage of whisky shipments to England as a protest against higher taxes. "It is time the Scots took action to promote their own well - being," asserted vice- chairman William Wolfe of the Scottish National party in an address prepared for a political rally. 'Otherwise, unemployment and forced em- igration will continue un- abated. "We should all get together to stop sending whisky south for one month," The Scottish Nationalists, a political fringe group, want self-government for Scotland.

High administration officials, however, said any peace talks would include only North Viet Nam or China--or both--and not the Viet Cong rebels who are waging the war in the South. The president delivered his first major policy statement on Viet Nam since the U.S. ex- panded the war two months ago when it began bombing North Viet Nam, Johnson, addressing a crowd of more than 1,900 at John's Hopkins University in Balti- more Wednesday night, said he would ask Congress to approve a $1,000,000,000 investment to launch the program of economic "These are the essentials of any final settlement." There are many approaches to a peaceful settlement of the war: "In discussion or negotia- tion with the governments con- cerned; in large groups or in small ones; in a reaffirmation of old agreements or their 'with new ones." In New York, a spokesman for Thant said the secretary- general would comment on the speech later today. There was no immediate pub- lic reaction from the Commu- nist ies. The president picked Johns Hopkins as the forum to answer last week's request to both sides in the Viet Nam war for 17 non- aligned nations for peace talks without pre-conditions. NOT WITH VIET CONG But before the president's ad- dress, senior government offi- cials in Washington said that the peace talks could take place only with North Viet Nam or China or both, ruling out any Viet Cong participation. This U.S. attitude clashed with the latest information from China, relayed to the UN via The president's $1,000,000,000 aid proposal was a follow-up to previous hints: The first came from the president March 25 in a general way and was ex- panded a little last week when Harlan Cleveland, assistant un- der-secretary of state, envis- aged the possibility of a UN role in settling the Viet Nam war. y Prime Minister Pearson had taken the same tack, in a speech several weeks ago in New York and then last Friday at Philadelphia when he elabor- ated on the president's refer- ence to boosting economic aid. However, nowhere in the Johnson speech was any indica- tion of American preparedness to accept another Pearson idea --this one for a cause. "at the right time" in air attacks on North Viet Nam. Such a pause might give the North elbow room to pave the way to nego- upping the price of 48 shillings six pence ($7.27). a Viet Nam settl t as in) line with his own position. | Thant assure Johnson that he will continue his own efforts toward a peaceful solution.

(AP) -- A gun duel between civil rights workers and unidentified men erupted early today in this pa- per mill town, where national Negro leader James Farmer is scheduled to speak tonight. Police said their investiga- tion showed a brick was thrown from a car and several stots tires, with no injuries and dam- age--if any--undetermined. Civil rights workers, however, described it as brisk gun fight with the Ku Klux Klan William J. Yates of Buffalo, N.Y., a white field worker for Farmers' Congress of Racial Equality, said there were two waves of attackers firing at the house in which he and other C.O.R.E: workers are staying. Yates: said the attacks stopped after Assistant Police Chief L. C. Terrell, carrying a sub-machine-gun, arrived at the scene with four officers. Terrell said he was told that a car drove past the residence, owned by Robert Hicks, a Ne- gro, and a brick was hurled at a station wagon parked in the yard, The rear window of the wagon was shattered Hicks ,Terrell continued, fired "a couple of shots" at the flee- 4 ing car with a rifle: "'and they retaliated." Terrel! said his officers would patrol the area because "we want to see that nothing like this happens again," Yates' version of the incident was more dramatic. He said groups of cars sped past the house, located in a Ne- gro section about 12 blocks from the centre of Bogalusa. By the time of the second at- tack, 12 defenders armed with rifles and shotguns were on the grounds or in the house, ready to shoot, Yates said.

For the first time, the presi- dent publicly specified. that the U.S. is willing to enter peace negotiations with no strings at- tached, but he set firm condl- tions for reaching any accord.

It was also emphatically stressed that published reports aside, the two men had a frank and extensive discussion about Viet Nam which considerably encouraged the prime minister in his view. The president said air attacks on North Viet Nam, begun Feb. 7, will continue: "It is our best and prayerful judgment that they are a necessary part of the surest road to peace." But he also said: "We have no desire to see thousands die in battle--Asians or Americans, We have no de- sire to devastate that which the people of North Viet Nam have built with toil and sacrifice. We will use our power. with re straint and with all the wisdom that we can command."
