Mr. Johnson made no reference to any presidential candidate. But he made it clear that he would not bend his war policy to make things easier for the Democrats in Chicago next week, including Vice President Humphrey. He spoke as a man whose convictions about the Tightness of the war and the need to continue the present policy were unchanged.

REFERRING TO the offer to North Vietnam to call of all U. S. bombing if there was a "prompt de-escalation" of the war, President Johnson said: "The next move must be theirs. In human affairs there is no more basic lesson than that It takes two to make a bargain and to make peace." "We have made a reasonable offer and have taken a major first step. That offer has not yet been accepted.

This administration does not intend to move further until it has reason to believe that the other side intends seriously to join with us in de-escalating the war and moving seriously toward peace. "We are willing to take chances for peace but cannot make foolhardy gestures for which our fighting men must pay the price. "I want peace In Vietnam perhaps more than any single American. But the pursuit of peace "in this administration will be governed wholly by our country's abiding interests as we see them." President will take a substantially different view when he bears the burden office and has available to him all the information that flows to the President, and is responsible to our people for all the consequences of the alternatives before him." A complete bombing halt, President Johnson said, would involve saying to Hanoi "that we are ready to have their men and supplies pour against the DMZ (demilitarized zone) against our men and our allies without obstruction, whether or not Hanoi takes action to de-escalate the conflict." As for abandoning "search and destroy" missions, Mr. Johnson said this would amount to letting "Communist forces assemble without interference around Saigon, Da New York Times Service DETROIT President Johnson ruled out any change in his Vietnam war policy Monday night, either before or after the Democratic National Convention.

Addressing the convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars here, Mr. Johnson reminded that he would be President until January 20 and rejected several ideas proposed for the Democratic platform by Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy. These included a halt to all bombing in North Vietnam and an end of "search and destroy" missions by American forces in the South.

Dak. UP) The youngest member of the North Dakota 25-member delegation to the Democratic National Convention says he's going to Chicago if he has to hitchhike, "and that may just happen." Joel Barden, 22, graduate student at the University of North Dakota, says he's "broke." He said that he's used to it.

"When you work for McCarthy," he laughed, "you get used to living off the land." Barden is one of the seven delegates who say they will cast a first ballot vote for Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota for the presidential nomination. He has been active in the McCarthy campaign since last November and worked in the South Dakota primary campaign in June. Barden said he will live with friends in Chicago. "At $22 a day I can't live in the hotel." Hopefully, he 6aid, he will take a train to Chicago.

"As a last resort, I'll hitchhike." Grand Forks is about 730 miles from Chicago. He said each delegate will get $160 from the state, as provided by the 1967 legislature. "I can't collect that until after the convention, but I doubt that I will have any trouble justifying it."

The latest report on Elsenhower's condition followed an earlier statement from doctors that his condition gradually was worsening. This was the first time doctors had directly affirmed the possibility of his death following his seventh heart attack suffered las Friday.

"If anyone offers, be sure to give them my address," he answered.

Aside from money worries, Barden thinks it's about time to 'streamline the political processes. "I think each party should pick two candidates and all four would run In the general election. Whoever gets the largest popular vote would win. Do away with the electoral college," he says. Barden, who has been working on a research paper in political science this summer, says he believes the Democrats will offer more excitement in their convention than the Republicans did at Miami Beach, earlier this month.

Artillery barrages flattened the surrounding countryside and helicopter gunships patrolled the flare-lit sky in a continuing search for the fleeing enemy.

Allied casualty counts are not complete, but it was estimated about 20 Americans were killed and 40 were wounded. THE FACT that a large enemy force penetrated a major city so close to Saigon and occupied it for nearly 30 hours, however, represents a significant propaganda victory for the enemy command.

There have been many different intelligence assessments of enemy plans since the enemy command canceled a third major offensive set for mid-July. U.

Informants said Long An and Go Cong provinces, just south of Saigon, might be the prime targets of another major attack. Intelligence indicated the enemy will use new weapons, including much more powerful rockets. Officials in Saigon said the capital was "unnaturally quiet" with no terrorist attacks or Viet Cong recruitment activity reported in the last week. Troops and police in the city were on a special alert, however.

SCATTERED SKIRMISHES were reported across the country Monday, but the enemy appeared to be avoiding major contact.
