The Red is expected to peak between 778 and 780 feet at Morris between April 10 and 17. At Emerson, the river rose 3.26 feet to 782.94 feet, five to seven feet below the predicted GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP)-- Northwestern Minnesota resi- dents anxiously watched the rise of two Red River tributaries to- day. At Crookston, Minn., the Red Lake River rose three feet in 24 hours and a crest of 26.5 feet was forecast for today. The wa- ter approached 25 feet Sunday night, and workers labored to raise dikes built to hold back a 26-foot crest. Flood stage is 15 feet. The river had dropped to un- crest of 788 to 790 feet expected between next Saturday and April 15. The river level remained un- changed at 13.2 feet above aver- age winter ice level at Winnipeg, pvhere the Red is ex- pected to reach a peak of 26 to 29 feet some time between April 13 and 22.

The Red Cross said sand for 30,000 bags was being shipped in, but James Gagnon of the army engineers warned that a rise of another foot would force abandonment of the dikes. Dike failure would mean flooding of 60 homes immediately and 40 more within 10 hours, officials said. The weather bureau said Sun- day night that warm weather and melting ice would raise pre- dicted area flood crests by about one foot above previously-ex- pected highs. At Pembina, near the Mani- toba border, the Red River rose three feet in 24 hours, edging up toward a crest now predicted at 53 feet for April 12.

Tass said it reached the vicinity of the moon and went into orbit at 9:44 p.m. Sunday (1:44 p.m. EST). This was detected by Western space trackers Sunday, but the Russians saved their an- nouncement for the reopening of the party congress after a week- end recess. Tass said Luna X was orbiting jthe moon about every three | hours, and that the orbit ranges jin altitude from 217.5 to 621 miles from the lunar surface. The British space tracking station at Jodrell Bank an- nounced Sunday' night that sig- nals picked up from Luna X in- dicated it had gone into close orbit around the moon. But Sir Bernard Lovell, the director of the station, said fading signals indicated that something had gone wrong and that Luna X might be in a spinning, tumbl- ing orbit. WON'T RETURN Lovell said "unless the Rus- sians fire more retro-rockets Luna X will stay around the moon forever."

From AP-Reuters SAIGON (CP)--The U.S. mili- tary command declared Saigon's streets, bars and other public places off limits to off-duty American servicemen as Pre- mier Nguyen Cao Ky's military regime wrestled with South Viet Nam's spreading rebellion. Anti - government demonstra- tions flared up again in several cities and military and police forces stepped in firmly to deal with the agitation. The demonstrations, which for three weeks have been demand- ing the restoration of civilian rule, began spreading from the main trouble spots in the north and again included Saigon. According to reports reaching here, martial law was pro- claimed in the coastal city of Nha Trang, 200 miles northeast of Saigon, as demonstrators marched on the radio station. In the central mountain re- sort of Dalat, the commander of the military training academy was ordered to take charge of the city from the newly - ap- Bs, mayor, Sai sources said.

Loudspeaker vehicles roamed Da Nang after dark, urging merchants to close their shops and pedestrians to get off the streets be cause "troops are coming." But there was no sign yet of any airborne landings in Da Nang by soldiers loyal to Ky.

In a_ nationwide broadcast, chief of state, Lt.-Gen. Nvuyen Van Thieu, appealed once more for an end to the wave of dem- onstrations and violence. He also announced that all schools would. be closed for an indefin- ite period beginning Tuesday. Thieu said the government would take '"'strong measures" against violators of the state of emergency decree that prevails in this war-torn nation.

BOLTON VATICAN CITY (AP)---Chris- tians began their annual ob- servance of Holy Week Sunday as Jews by coincidence were preparing for their annual cele- bration of Passover, commenc- ing tonight. Pope Paul blessed palm branches in the Sistine Chapel and said mass before 10,000 persons in St. Peter's Basilica The Palm Sunday rites marked the triumphal eniry of Christ into Jerusalem five days before his crucifixion. The Pope distributed the palms to 21 cardinals, then led a procession through the basil- ica to the main altar for mass. After the procession and mass, which lasted two hours, the pontiff appéared at his ap- parent window to bless - 20,000 persons in St. Peter's Square. Later Holy Week ceremonies in Christian churches will focus on the Holy Tuesday observ- ance of the last supper and on the mournful rites of Good Fri- day, recalling the crucifixion. The theme of mourning will ve succeeded next Sunday by Easter rejoicing In | PARRY SOUND, Ont.
