Polk, this March. Long said he couldn't understand why it took until March to do that If foreign sales were not interfering with supplies. "I don't understand their reasoning for not getting the gun in large quantities," Ichord said. "They apparently bumbled greatly by not picking up the cross-licensing rights as soon as possible." Brooks said the manufacturing, or cross-licensing, rights were not acquired from Colt at the time because the M-16 originally was intended for limited use. Now, Brooks said, the government and Colt have reached general agreement that will allow the government to let another manufacturer produce the M-16.

WASHINGTON A House Investigation chairman said Tuesday the Defence Department "apparently bungled" by not ordering larger quantities of the M-16 rifle used in Vietnam. Rep. Richard H. Ichord Mo.) spoke as his special House Armed Services subcommittee prepared to continue its hearings on the weapon. "The Viet Cong say they fear above all the brigades with what they call the 'black gun" the M-16 Ichord said in an interview.

"So I don't understand the Defense Department's explanation. They say they're meeting the requests of Gen. (William Westmoreland. "But If this gun is accepted so well and it has been if it's so good, it seems to me they should not be selling it abroad." The manufacturer, Colt Saigon Red Rocket Target? WASHINGTON UP) A magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology says neutral observers have sighted the 750-mile-range Shyster Soviet missile in North Vietnam, but the Department of Defense was unable to verify the report. The aviation and space industry publication reports the Shyster missiles are similar weapons to those introduced Into Cuba, leading to the showdown between the U.

S. and the Soviet Union in 1962. The intermediate range missiles were spotted in the Hanoi area, the magazine reported, but a defense department spokesman said, "We have nothing to confirm that report." Shysters, liquid propellant missiles which the magazine considers were airlifted Into Hanoi, with support equipment and Soviet technicians moving in by sea, can carry nuclear or conventional warheads. Aviation Week points out that Saigon is within the missile's range. The Marines are organized in the First and Third Marine Divisions and an air wing.

Eighteen Marine rifle battalions are in the country, and two more are aboard ships of the Seventh Fleet, available for immediate reinforcement. These fighting elements have had to be concentrated chiefly between Da Nang and the demilitarized zone to meet heavily Increased enemy pressure across the zone. Army troops shifted from other parts of Vietnam have taken over defense of areas in the southern part of I Corps to free Marines for the border fighting. THE TROOP shifts are said to have had some adverse effects on the pacification program, which was highly developed within the Marine tactical areas. Charles de Gaulle spares veto, not rod ri BY HANSON W.

BALDWIN N. Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Military leaders believe that at least four more U. S. divisions of about 15,000 men each are needed in Vietnam, one or more of them immediately.

The level and goals for manpower have been under review In Washington, since the recent visit to this country of Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U. S. commander in Vietnam.

But word has reached the working level In the Defense Department that additional troop strength Is likely to be held to a "minimum" by the admin-House Unit Wants Curb on President's Draft Powers. Page 30. istratlon, and that there is virtually no possibility of any quick and major rein forcement. One military source expressed the view of many uniformed personnel when he said that if the U. S.

does not move in enough troops to conduct pacification as well as to fight the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong, "we will be there forever." "We should either put in what It takes or get out," he added. Until recently, when the North Vietnamese intensified their attacks across the demilitarized zone and forced the reinforcement of the I Corps area by Army INSTALL a system of association between the Common Market and the European Free Trade Area. De Gaulle said' that such associations are provided by the Treaty of Rome and would facilitate relations. Britain already has rejected association status.

MY SON IS NOW IN VIETNAM, but when he completed his Marine boot training he came home for 20 days, flew in on TWA, and they lost his sea bag. They promised him they would pay for his clothes if they did not find the bag. The man at the TWA office says things are handled in the home office.

Three hundred dollars may not to much to TWA, but it is to my son and me. MRS. M. Hone Hill Court. We got a lengthy letter of explanation from G.

R. Thornton, director of TWA community relations, New York, in which he said he had written two letters to your son in Vietnam, but had received no answers. Said that, while your son had no baggage check or ticket stub as evidence, he was asked to have his commanding officer verify loss of his military clothing and TWA would pay the claim. "I have attempted to review everything most favorably for him. It would not be fair to other passengers who might file claims for loss to honor Private claim under circumstances which, if any other passenger were involved, would force us to deny a claim," Mr.

Thornton said. Tell your son, Ma'am, to get that statement from his CO. MY WIFE AND I have purchased a small acreage in the country and are planning to have a pond built we have some springs on a hillside.

IN APRIL, 196G, I took my wife to the hospital for an operation and in May, 1966, my driver's license expired. I wasn't aware of this until I got my 1967 license plates. When I applied for my driver's license the girl said I had to take a new test, which means laying off from defense work and losing wages. Now, is this right, after driving since 1921 (46 years) without a black mark on my record? I really didn't break any law.

E. F. South Argyle Place. Sorry, Sir, but you did break the law anyone whose license had expired for more than six months must take the driver's tests. And you broke it again in driving about nine months longer than the law allows for an expired license.

Be Gaulle Rebuffs Britain PARIS (iP Charles de Gaulle spared the veto but not the rod Tuesday in appraising Britain's new application for membership in the European Common Market. The French president indicated a further period of waiting is necessary before various barriers to Britain's entry can be ironed out. De Gaulle sniped again at the United States and, without mentioning Vietnam specifically, declared "the scandal of foreign intervention in Southeast Asia must cease." In discussing the bid by Prime Minister Harold Wil Industries, sold 20,000 M-16s to Singapore last year. The export had to be approved by the Defense Department. Robert A.

Brooks, assistant secretary of the Army, told the subcommittee Monday he wasn't consulted about it, but would have approved because M-16 requests from General Westmoreland, commander of U. S. forces in Vietnam, were being met. IN DECEMBER, 1965, Westmoreland asked that all Army maneuver battalions in Vietnam be equipped with the M-16. A year later the Army decided to replace all its 30-caliber rifles with M-16s.

Delivery of the weapons to Singapore started last March. Brooks caid these "could be produced by normal overruns and minor overtime work." A subcommittee member, Rep. Speedy O. Long (D said he was in son's government for Common Market membership, de Gaulle seemed to be a little less brutal and final than in January, 1963, when he slammed the door on British entry. But he appeared to hold just as clearly: "No, "not now." SPEAKING before about 1000 newsmen and officials the ornate Salle des Fetes of the Elysee Palace for his semiannual news conference, De Gaulle said: "There is not and, moreover, never has been a question of a veto." But he said he agreed with Wilson that the obstacles are formidable.

De Gaulle asserted that terview with Chinese Premier Chou En-lai, we are satisfied that Malley's report is authentic and accurate," Fisher said in a statement. "Mr. Malley had applied for his Chinese visa as a representative of Jeune Afrique, a French language magazine with distribution in French-speaking Africa," Fisher added. "Although he is a naturalized American citizen we have been informed that the Chinese did not recognize his American passport," the statement said. Fisher said: "There have been previous occasions upon which the Chinese is-, sued denials of their own statements." "We intend to continue to print Mr.

Malley's series because we believe it gives a significant insight on China's thinking and plans," he added. A Clancy, Yet!

If the handicap is prolonged or permanent, they usually are retired, after medical review board evaluation, the sergeant major said. SOUNDING OFF "In your 'Sounding Off column you ran an item stating, "What would we, the people of the United States do if our poor boys (boys who don't have the money to go to college) would refuse to go into service and those who are would just quit fighting It's nice to receive clippings from your column, especially from people who are cowardly enough to withhold their names. To the person who is so interested in our two sons, I would like to convey this message: Our youngest son left college to enlist in the Air Force been in over a year.

Our oldest had only one year of college left to get a degree, but has enlisted in the Navy. These are the only children we have and it isn't easy giving them to the service, although we are proud that they aren't shirkers. I hope you will print this, so the person who sent us the clipping will, in the future, mind his or her own business." MRS. CHARLES OSTERMAN.

TOKYO UP) Communist China officially denied that Premier Chou En-lai had given an interview to Simon Malley, correspondent for the French language magazine Jeune Afrique and other African newspapers. Peking's official New China News Agency said the Chinese Foreign Ministry Gaulle's remarks masked an eventual veto. High authorities were disappointed, although not especially surprised. Wilson's government resolved to press on with its application to the end. British opponents of alignment with France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg in the Common Markets were delighted.

Bilik Is former chairman of the AFL-CIO Labor Council here and narrowly missed election to City Council in 1965 when he finished 10th. If Bilik runs, it will be little surprise to most political observers. Gilligan and Beckman had been rumored for months as candidates to lead the Democratic ticket in an all-out effort to take over control of City Council.

Former State Representative Harry McUwain also has been rumored as a possible candidate, but an unofficial ruling last week by City Solicitor William Mcclain held that McUwain, who lives in Mariemont, can run for Council only if he has lived ln Cincinnati for one year prior to the November election. he did not want to prejudge the coming negotiations on the new British bid, but listed these alternatives: Admit Britain with all the exceptions that this implies, including a long period of adjustment for British agriculture. He said this would also lead to applications for membership by Britain's associates in the seven-nation European Free Trade Area, including the Scandinavian nations. This would lead to a new organization, completely destroying what has already been built, and taking away the continental European character of the Common Market. Ford Plant Blast Kills 1, Injures 5 DEARBORN, Mich.

UP A propane gas line, ruptured by a pile driver, burst into flames late Tuesday, killing one man and injuring five Inside the Ford Motor Co. River Rouge plant. Four of the injured were in critical condition at Henry Ford Hospital, a hospital spokesman said. The victims were burned in the first flash of fire when the pile driver plunged into the line linking several old salt mines now used as storage caverns for liquid propane gas. The men, seven in all, were working in a pit 40 by 50 yards and about 20 feet deep when the fire burst through.

"I looked up and the whole pit was burning," said Gottfried Pulfer, 27, construction engineer who was in a nearby pit. Bill Cosman, a Ford field engineer, was the only man in the burning pit to escape unharmed. Five scrambled to safety despite their burns. The fire was under control two hours after it erupted. A Ford spokesman said the killed and injured were employees of Raymond Concrete Pile Co.

of Chicago, which was driving piles for the foundation of a new Ford steel division plant. Inside The Enquirer A BIG MARKET for the big plane. Air Force general sees possibility of 500 supersonic aircraft for the United States. Page 8. BEYOND QUESTION.

WHEAT Enquirer Politics Writer Two "surprise" entries, along with the county's two top Democrats, are expected to be named tonight among that party's Cincinnati Council slate for November. A reliable source told The Enquirer Tuesday that James R. Clancy, 1002 Kreis Price Hill, and Al Bilik, newly-hired Democratic executive sercetary, will be included on the Democrats' City Council slate along with former Congressman John J. Gilligan and County Commissioner Vincent Beckman Jr.

Clancy, an Insurance man, is a younger brother of Republican stalwart U. S. Rep. Donald D. Clancy, former councilman and mayor.

The quartet is expected to be among the nine candidates recommended for endorsement tonight at a joint meeting of the 200-member executive committee and the nominating committee at party headquarters. The Clancy name is synonymous with Cincinnati politics. Donald Clancy used the "Clancy Lowered the Boom" song to win a Coun McUwain agreed Tuesday. "I have decided definitely I am barred by residency requirements. I don't want to buy a lawsuit.

I agree with McClain. I don't care to get knocked off the ballot after moving into the city." McUwain did not mention the criminal law cases he would lose as councilman, but it would represent a considerable loss of income to him. What if he is drafted as a candidate? McUwain answered, "I'm the man who has to do the moving. I would appreciate the honor (if his name were recommended) would like to help out ln any way, even being campaign chairman, but it is a matter of residency." Democratic leaders disagree on the residency requirement, saying their research has proved that McUwain could qualify as a candidate if he moved into the city 40 days before the election. The Republicans have endorsed four incumbents, Eugene P.

Ruehlmann, Wiilis D. Gradison John E. Held and Gordon Rich, as well as State Representative Ralph B. Kohnen and Frank Mayfield Jr. denied as "fabrication" Malley's report of an interview with Chou, which was published in the Chicago Daily News.

At the United Nations, in New York, Malley said "The articles speak for themselves. I stand by what I have written." In Chisago, Roy M. Fisher, editor of the Chicago Daily News, said that "we anticipated that the Chinese Communist leaders might wish to deny their interviews with Malley since they received him as a correspondent for African papers and may not have foreseen the publication of the interviews by the Chicago Daily News, other North American and worldwide newspapers in the non-Communist world.
