Death was threatened for all terrorists and saboteurs, even black market speculators.

That vote was on the bill as an amendment to the original measure brought hpfnrp t.hA Hniise. which was changed to bring it. into closer conformity with one passed earlier by the Senate. The delayed vote will be on Its final passage as a bill, not an amendment.

Friday night's vote, however, a hard-won triumph for President Johnson was all but sealed. This result plus the leadership's success in quickly turning a 35-vote defeat into a 38-vote victory in an earlier test seemed to make the final roll call no more than a formality. The Senate bill is Identical in its essentials and House leaders appear confident their version will be accepted promptly and hastened to the White House. The bill Is designed to mount a nationwide attack on the sources of poverty that have kept generations of Americans on relief. It would utilize a variety of programs, including conservation type camps for idle youths, basic education and Job-training, loans to help low -income farmers and shopkeepers, and community wide anti poverty projects.

THE HOUSE adopted several amendments, Including one by Rep. John Bell Williams Miss.) that would require youths entering the proposed Job corps to take an oath of loyalty to the United States. House Republican leaders, sensing political gain for President Johnson, fought it all the way and 3 4tt "We are ready to extend assistance to the people of North Vietnam to overthrow their Communist masters. "We said at the beginning of the year that this year would be decisive In our struggle with the Communists. Now we can say that the coming weeks will be decisive "I am going now to be with my troops." General Khanh clearly intended to try to convince his people particularly cynical and indifferent Saigonese that South Vietnam, which has been fighting Red Viet Cong guerrillas for three years, is at war.

Just as clearly, he wanted to stem such distractions as political infighting, student demonstrations and sporadic wild rumors in the local press of prospective upheavals In his regime. Curfews were established for various areas, Including Saigon. Streets of this busy, thriving capital were ordered cleared from 11 p. m. to 4 a.

m. Otherwise the decree had little perceptible affect on the city. At Da Nang, a tank-guarded base on the South China Sea 280 miles northeast of Saigon, Americans said they expected a further concentration of the U. S. air power this weekend.

They said, however, this would be intended more as a show of force than as an indication of imminent combat. About 20 U. S. Air Force jets already are stationed at Da Nang's up-to-date airport, where runways were recently lengthened to 10,000 feet to accommodate any of the supersonic speedsters. 3Iility Wiugs Spread Their Shadow Over Trouble Area This picture taken from a helicopter shows U.

Congress Gives LBJ Backing On Repelling Assaults In Asia With the danger of an at- tack from the North evi dently ebbing, General Khanh proclaimed a state of emergency across a land where U.

S. and South Vietnamese military forces have been in a state of alert all week. A U. S. Embassy spokesman said Ambassador Maxwell D.

Taylor talked to General Khanh before the decree was made public. The spokesman said it was not proper for the United States to comment on the decree because it was an internal matter, but if results Included increased mobilization and helped in prosecution of the war, "then it would be all for the good." While strong South Vietnamese and American forces kept watch on Communist th Vietnam's frontier, the spokesman implied the United States feels the American warplane squadrons already rushed in are adequate for the present. "What we have here now is what we think we need now," he said. "If the situation changes, then it will depend on developments." The premier, a major general in his own armed forces, suspended normal legal processes. He banned strikes and demonstrations, imposed a domestic censorship and ordered a general mobilization of national resources and manpower.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Congress Friday endorsed any actions President Johnson feels needed to repel Communist attacks in Southeast Asia. Mr. Johnson promptly hailed the move as a demonstration of American determination to defend this country and Its allies.

In a near-unanimous dis- Local Nazi Nabbed After Fiery Talk teamed with southern Democrats for a momentary victory that threw a scare into administration supporters. Rep. Howard W. Smith (D Va.) launched the ma- neuver by offering a mo- "on sinne me enacting clause and thus kill the measure. On a teller vote, with only 305 members on hand, the Republicans and their conservative Southern Democratic allies turned out in force and carried the motion 170 to 135.

But the immediately following roll call vote brought out 117 more members and put them all on record and in this test the leaders won. This enabled the House to proceed Into the final stages of debate preparatory to the final vote on the bill. Republicans have called the measure "an election-year gimmick" to gain votes for Democrats. While praising the goal, the GOP members have argued the bill is poorly drawn, would disappoint Its sponsors and would be perverted to political ends. SOME SOUTHERNERS opposed It in fear that Its programs would hasten racial Integration In their states.

To counter this, the bill was altered to permit governors to veto programs in their states. And Rep. Phil Landrum, Georgia Democrat who was floor manager for the bill, contended the enactment of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill has made academic the question of use of Federal funds in programs where racial discrimination is practiced. Such use Is forbidden under the Civil Rights Law. Hanna, claiming 49 members of the American Nazi Party in the local chapter, said Cincinnati is "Infected with Communists," including "many in the local government." 38 Listed In Memo On KKK There are 38 names on the Ku Klux Klan membership list Cincinnati detectives confiscated Thursday.

The Enquirer learned Friday that the small memo book also contained a political meeting notice for "members of various right wing groups." The book was found when detectives arrested Brandenberg and searched his Arlington Heights television service shop and home, 18 Anna Reading. Of the names in the list seven were from Cincinnati, Reading, four; Sharonville, Hamilton, both three; Lock-land, Newport, Milford, all two names; and one name each from Elmwood Place, Covington, Felicity, Alexandria, Amelia, Morning View, Somerville, Norwood, California, New Miami, Monroe, Mason, and Dayton, Ohio. Two of the addresses were illegible. Enclosed in the memo book was a notice that read: "Goldwater Rally, Sunday August 9, 5 p. m.

Free Goldwater stickers and literature. Members of different right wing groups will take part Including a cross burning by the Ku Klux Klan. Klansmen in robes will sign up new members.

Probably 900 million people will perish. But misfortune contains within Itself good fortune. "Imperialism, too, will be destroyed and a new civilization will arise on Its ruins. That will be good. New generations will replace the 900 millions who perished." The Journal said: "Comment on this incredible statement would be superfluous, but it prompts the question: Did Mao bother to ask any of the 900 million people whether they wanted to die, whether they agreed to become the manure of history to fertilize the soil for a new generation?" THE ATTACK, one of the most direct launched on the Chinese leader personally, quoted Mao as saying that "evil can lead to good results, while good In Its turn may be superseded by bad results." JmMj2MD play of political unity, the Senate adopted, 88-2, an emergency resolution approving "ail necessary measures" by the President "to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression." The House approved the measure on a 416-0 vote.

Minutes later President Johnson termed the top-heavy votes "a demonstration to all the world of the unity of all Americans. They prove our determination to defend our own forces, to prevent aggression and to work firmly and steadily for peace and security In the area." Henry Cabot Lodge former U.

Senator Morse, an outspoken critic of U. S.

policy in Vietnam, called the resolution "a pre-dated declaration of war" and said he would not let his "hatred, detestation and disgust" with Communist methods cause him to "go outside the Constitution." He told the Senate that the U. S. attack on the seaports "constituted an act of war not an act of self-defense." Senator Guening said the resolution's reference to assisting other Southeast Asian Treaty nations meant that Congress would be "authorizing escalation of war" beyond Vietnam and possibly into Thailand, Cambodia and other lands. There were no negative votes in the House, but Rep. Eugene Siler who was absent, was recorded as "paired" against the resolution.

Rep. Adam Clayton Powell N. voted "present." He said he did so because he was a minister and a pacifist, but added: "When my country Is in absolute danger as in time of war, of course I support it."

Richard J. Hanna. 21, 618 E. Sixth Newport, was arrested by Arlington Heights police at 618 Mills St on a charge of disturbing the peace when he screamed "Jews are taking over the world and it's time the white people stood up!" He was held on $1000 bond at Lockland Jail after being booked at Arlington Heights police station. Hanna, dressed in a Nazi storm trooper outfit, and Brandenberg, in a gold robe with a peaked cap, were posing for photographers when the neo-Nazi started his wild speech.

He was quickly hustled into a waiting squad car. Brandenberg, released Thursday on $5000 bond after being arrested when local authorities found Ku Klux Klan robes and recruiting material in his store, termed the Nazi's arrest "just more police harassment." "They had no right to arrest that man," he said. "If I wasnt under $5000 bond I would help him, but my hands are tied." While being booked, Hanna told Arlington Heights Mayor Howard N. Cook "I'm sorry I ever started this." He pleaded with the mayor to be set free, saying his elderly mother needed to be looked after. Mayor Cook set his trial for August 28.

Sobbing as he was led from the Mayor's office, he refused to make a statement. Later, Hanna changed his mind and discussed "race-mixing and Jewlsm," which, he said, "was leading America to ruin."
