Nixon Ponders U.S. Counterattack
WASHINGTON 〈AP〉-Administration officials left open Monday a wide range of options—including possible air attacks on North Vietnam or the use of U. S. ground forces—as President Nikon pondered ways to increase trust of enemy forces in South Vietnam.
At the White House and State Department, spokesmen would not discuss specific steps Nixon might order but said, "All options are open," when asked whether bombing troops or deployment of American troops were possible.
In Vietnam it was reported that American planes had been ordered to the island.
Presidential press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, however, described the effort as "a South Vietnamese operation" to stem what he and other officials described as a Communist invasion across the demilitarized zone.
ZIEGLEM CITED a briefing by State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey as "totally reflective of the over all administration view" on the situation, McCloskey, who cautioned newsmen against speculating about the use of U. S. troops over U. S. bombing, said the Vietnam War has been "understanding" which had led to a complete halt of American air attacks on North Vietnam. Hanoi never has
McGovern Again Issues ITT Attack
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Sen. George McGovern, campaigning in Wisconsin's presidential primary, stuck Monday to his assertion that the International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. paid no federal income from the past three years, though financial support file at the Securities and Exchange Commission contradicted his charge.
Minnesota Sen. Hubert Humphrey, burst into a 19-hour campaign day, and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie appealed on television for support on the eve of the primary. Republican Richard Vallée said Wisconsin "is going to be a fine state for us. We're going to do well."
Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington accused Muskie and McGovern of boarding "an" Alice-in-Wonderland by proposing big cuts in defense spending.
Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York claimed he would finish 'a very strong thorn' in his teeth.
The polls open as early as 7 a.m. Lawrence time, and close at 8 p.m. statewide. The vote will be recorded on machines in Milwaukee and other cities and suburban areas, with paper ballots in use in rural sections of the state. Fifty-five per cent of the voting is expected to be on machines.
A record primary turnout of about 1.5 million voters was forcast despite unseasonably cold weather predicted for election day.
In Washington, financial statements on file with the SEC contradicted McGovern's assertion that ITT paid no federal income taxes for the past three years.
McGovern, who made the charge in a national television interview broadcast from Milwaukee Sunday, stuck to his claim.
acknowledged the existence of such an understanding
Administration officials refused to predict whether the United States now felt free to resume the bombing of North Vietnamese targets.
Earlier, deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren disclosed that Nixon had called in session the Washington Special Action Group (WSAG), a panel that usually meets only in a crisis situation. The group was formed by a group of advisers and prepare options for U.S. action.
W. Freidheim said that the six U.S. combat maneuver battalions remaining in Vietnam are committed to the security of the forces and are not involved in the current action.
AT THE PENTAGON, spokesman Jerry
Nixon did not attend the hour long meeting of WSAG, headed by Henry Kissinger, his assistant for national security affairs. He conferred in his oval office with Kissinger and the chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations Moorer, and talked by telephone with Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird.
Allied Forces Marshal Against DMZ Invasion
SAIGON (AP) — A South Vietnamese commander said Tuesday the North Vietnamese invasion had been harmed as the force had become more feroffensive including amphibious landings across South Vietnam's northern front. The U.S. Navy committed its missile strike on Saigon.
The 7th Fleet assembled at least four aircraft carriers and four destroyers to back up 20,000 South Vietnamese ground troops. Another 5,000 South Vietnamese reinforcements were ordered to the northern front.
Thousands of South Vietnamese made an amphibious assault on the banks of the Cua Viet River to secure the coastline from enemy forces trying to encircle them and move south. The provincial capital is 19 miles south of the Demilitarized Zone.
THEERE WAS NO major contact reported in the initial hours.
The United States began a counter air and naval attack across the northern frontier in efforts to block North Vietnamese tank, artillery and infantry reinforcements and protect Quang Tri City.
OVERCAST SKIES had hampered operations of the attack jets, but sources said massive raids against North Vietnam were imminent in retaliation for the biggest enemy push since the Tet offensive of 1968.
Nearly a score of B52 bombers hammered North Vietnamese forces, and naval guns opened up against the DMZ's southern half.
The bombers rained 500 tons of bombs on enemy troops menacing Qauq Tri City at points 11 to 15 miles south and 19 miles southwest of the provincial capital.
"We have stopped them now, but we did know if they will attack more," he said.
Lt. Gen. Hoang Xuan Lam, commander of the northern front, said the defensive
A White House spokesman in Washington reported the President summoned a special foreign policy panel to discuss the options to counter the offensive. The panel would not hamper U. S. troop withdrawal. A State Department spokesman, Robert J. McCloskey, characterized the North Vietnamese attack as a "flagrant violation" of the 1954 Geneva agreements and said that it was "understanding" between the United States and North Vietnam. Han denied there ever was an understanding.
Hanoi radio claimed "the South Vietnam People's Liberation Armed Forces, meaning the Viet Cong, had won big victories, capturing or killing 6,300 enemy vehicles of North Vietnamese troops. Hanoi never has admitted they are in the South."
Docking Ends Doubt, To Seek 4th Term
TOPEKA (AP)—Gov. Robert B.
Docking ended months of new media
speculation Monday by announcing he will
seek a fourth term in this year's election.
Docking, first three-term governor in Kansas history, had been rumored to be eyeing a possible race for the U. S. Senate, held by Republican James B. Pearson.
The 46-year-old Democratic governor's announcement left up in the air who might seek his party's nomination to oppose Pearson in the November general election.
The possibility remained that Atty. Gen, Vern Miller might challenge Pearson, but sources close to the attorney general indicated it appears more likely Miller would win. No other Democratic possibility in the Senate race has been publicly mentioned.
"THEHAS HAS been some pressure from certain elements to do just that," Miller said, confirming he has given thought to the possibility. "We have weighed that possibility."
Miller said he had made up his mind what he will do, but would not make public his ideas.
"I have decided what I will do," said Miller, first Democrat elected Kansas attorney general in 80 years. "I will have an announcement in the near future."
Miller said he had made up his mind what he would do before Docking's announcement Monday, but admitted if the governor had surprised him he would have taken another look at his own situation.
"I pretty well knew what Docking was going to do," said Miller. "I would have considered very strongly becoming a candidate for governor if he had chosen to do otherwise. But I don't have to worry about that now."
THE GOVERNOR'S office reported an enthushial response" during the day to *The Guardian*.
"The telephone lines have been jammed all day," said James Shaffer, Docking's press secretary. "And there hasn't been a questioning the governor's decision."
Docking's announcement to seek a four term came as no surprise in the Republican camp. Former Gov John Anderson Jr, De Soto, said, "i rather expect he will make a pretty good considermnt a tough opponent but not unbeatable."
Lt. Gov. Reynolds Shultz said only the timing surprised him. "I was surprised he announced so early," the Lawrence Republican said.
"I figured he'd announce the last of May.
Students Register to Vote This Week

Dave Broyles, Lawrence graduate student, explains to Barbara Jones, Lawrence freshman, the Lawrence voting district from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Kansas Union
during voter registration week which ends Friday. To qualify to vote in Douglas County, a person must have lived in the county for 30 months and in his prefecture for 30 days.
He will be a formidable opponent, I think his record proves that."
ANDERSON AND SHULTZ are the only declared candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.
Pearson, contacted in Johnson County where he attended a dedication, said he was not surprised. "Despite the press conjecture over the governor's interest in duke," he said, "I have seen very little evidence of his interest in national issues."
Docking, a native of Kansas City, Mo., who grew up in Lawrence and is a graduate of the University of Kansas, said he was "very impressed" at the urging of 'certain friends of him.'
"It would have been an interesting campaign—a close, tough campaign," said Docking, whose father was Kansas governor for two terms in 1957-61.
Ironically, George Docking lost in his bid for a third term to John Anderson Jr., who could be Robert Docking's opponent in the 2016 election. He won the Republican primary in August.
DOCKING SAID he said "not closing the door" to a possible Senate bid in 1874, when U. S. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., is up for reelection.
But U. S. William Roy, D-Kan, has indicated strongly he'd like to be the
Democratic opponent of Dole in two years years.
Docking listed 10 reasons why he decided to seek the governorship again;
"Continue to work behind our philosophy of tax reform, not tax increase."
"We have only begun to win legislative cooperation in organizing the executive board."
- 'Make the property tax lid l permanent - it is working and should be permanent to the property taxayer.
- *Continue to work for reform of the well program at the state and national levels.*
- "Continue efforts for quality education.
- "Continue to work for spending lid on state government, which would assure cautious government spending in the future.
- —"Economy in Kansas seems to be on the upwing; more industries into Kansas than ever before. We have programs under our franchise jobs and economic development.
- "Continue progress in penal reform.
- "Continue expertise of appointed,
classmates."
HE ALSO REPEATED a 1970 campaign theme, "There is still much to be done."

SenEx to Hear KU Traffic Plan
By RICHARD COOLEY
Details of the new traffic control plan formulated by the University of Kansas Parking and Traffic Board probably will be presented to SenEx at its Wednesday meeting, H. Robert Malinowski, chairman of the board, said Monday.
The new plan, to take effect next fall, would make Jayhawk Boulevard and Memorial Drive into one-way streets and place four to five hundred parking meters campus is designed to enhance the parking traffic and improve parking facilities.
The changes were necessitated by a lack of parking facilities at Wescoe Hall, the new humanities building being constructed on Javhawk Boulevard.
"I think that would be the ideal place to start." Malinovsky said.
Maliinowsky said Monday that the committee hopes to present details of the plan.
Raymond Nichols, KU executive secretary, said he hoped to have the traffic plan placed on the agenda of the meeting, and would have to talk with Malinowsky about the length of the presentation before determining whether there would be room on the floor.
Nichols also said that following the SenEx presentation open hearing on the plan would be held to allow students and faculty to understand theism and suggestions concerning the plan.
Some members of the Student Senate Transportation Committee have already charged the plan would seriously hamper business operations, a spokesman for the committee said last
week the plan would reduce bus service,
endanger passengers getting on and off bus.
Responding to those criticisms Monday Malinowski said there was "room for more research and suggestions" on certain aspects of the plan. He said his committee would be glad to hear criticism of the plan when it was presented publicly.
The plan will be presented to SenEx as soon as possible. Malinskwy said.
