Duong Van Minn said in an interview made public today that elections for an all-civilian government might be held "from 6 to 12 months" from now. Minh, who led the military coup that deposed President Ngo Dinh Diem and his broth er Ngo Dinh Nhu, said that the mixed military-civilian govern ment would continue in office for as long as a year's transi tion period. - Nguyen Ngoc Tho, vice presi dent in the Diem regime, is the civilian premier under the jun ta. But the military retains al most all government power. Minh's interview with a South Korean correspondent was made public by the government press agency. Another Junta leader, Minis ter of Defense Maj. Gen. Tran Van Don, appealed in an order of the day for a unified fight against the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. He warned that the overthrow of Diem was only the "first page" in the new history of Viet Nam. s "The homeland and the peo ple expect us to score more vic tories until the last page is reached," he added. Communist terrorists killed two members of a U.S. aid team a rice expert from Na tionalist China and his Vietna mese interpreter m an am bush about 50 miles south of Saigon Wednesday. The government said the , Communists opened fire on the car in which the men were rid ing as it was coins through a village. Its driver was wounded. .

The 17-member committee scheduled six witnesses, includ ing Federal Power Commission Chairman Joseph C. Swidler, for testimony as the hearings droned toward the end of their fifth week. Swidler was expected to be questioned about a disputed h section to prevent federal regu-: latory agencies from ordering ! pipeline companies to pass on investment credit tax savings to consumers in the form of lower rates. The stakes involved in the provision, tacked on by the House Ways & Means Commit tee, are considerable. They amount to $27 million to pipe line companies for only about three months in 1962, and more millions in 1963 and future years. AX"! LA 4) LARKSPUR, Calif.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF Recipe for Television Western Could Be Taken From N.M. War By ROBERT E. HUBER United Press Internationa! SANTA FE, N.M. (UPI) The 1963 recipe for television west erns could have -been lifted from New Mexico's famous seven-day Lincoln County War. The recipe calls for one well known gunfighter, mix with a running battle and a burning ranchhouse, add a U.S. cavalry rescue and a touch of racial prejudice, strain out the cattle barons and boil for 90 minutes. The well-known gunfighter of the Lincoln County War was Billy "the Kid" Bonney, whose name, 84 years later, still sparks controversy in New Mexico. As recently as two years ago, a New Mexico court had to de cide the final resting place for the Kid's body. It let him lie where he was a tourist attrac tion in a tiny desert graveyard. Lincoln County at the time of the war stretched across the width of the New Mexico Terri tory a massive area of grass and mountains and the largest political subdivision in the world. It was the Southwest's last "free range." Early in 1879, cattle baron John Chisum and his partner Alex McSwain moved 80,000 head of beef into Lincoln Coun ty along the Pecos River. The monstrous herd, which swept the plains of all smaller herds, was intended for future sale to Indian reservations in Arizona. Smaller ranch owners who lost herds inside the Chisum McSwain stampede threatened to form an association, setting the stage for Chisum to hire Billy the Kid as deputy consta ble of the Chisum Ranch, The Kid, after killing two op position cowboys, a sfteritl and a deputy, moved a force ol JOHN STRALEY offers this explanation of the origin of kissing: "The cave man found that salt helped him sur vive the fierce summer heat; also that he could get the salt by licking a companion s cheek. Then he discov- je ered that the process be came more interesting if the companion, belonged to the opposite sex. Next thing you know, every body forgot all about the salt" A TV comedy writer at Danny's Hideaway proudly announced, "I wrote a lot at Jimmy Durante'a best material this year, and now they're trying; to sign me to do a new version of Cyrano de Bergerac." "Go along with you," ordered Danny. "You're nothing but a nose-dropper." Val Carmichael writes that his motoring problems have been miraculously reduced since he found a way to stop his wife from eing a back seat driver. He stuffed her into the trunk. ... Jack Lemmon Insists that his doctor told him on the day his last picture was completed, "Please skip your vacation this year and get a real rest."

Two days later, in the mouth of a small arroyo, the first shots of the Lincoln County War rang out. The date was June 17, 1879. Turner's posse, outnumbered almost two to one, gambled and divided into two groups, one slipping quietly through a thick forest alongside the Bonney camp while the other held the arroyo closed. When Bonney be gan a frontal attack on the re m a i n i n g 25 possemen, the flanking company opened fire from behind, killing 21 ol Hon ney's men. But Bonney led a wild escape through the ranks of the posse, and the next two days of run' ning gunfights left each side with only about 25 men. At that time, true to the lete vision, the 9th U.S. Cavalry came to the aid of the posse and Bonney's meager force fled to Lincoln Town for a last-ditch stand in a huge adobe ranch' house. The house, owned by Chis um?! partner McSwain, proved to be a fortress. Attack alter at tack by the posse am! the troop ers were repelled. Inside, Mrs. McSwain encouraged her house guests by playing martial airs on a piano and singing battle songs. Bonney's men held their posi tion. Not only were they fight ing for their lives, but they were mad at the U.S. Cavalry for interceding with two compa nies of Negro troopers. Finally Turner's men set fire to the house and Bonney and his men burst out. Caught in a vicious crossfire and hand - to- hand combat, Bonney lost 23 men in minutes. But Bonney miraculously es caped with a lew stragglers, which would have allowed him to come back next week if the fight had been on television. Leaders Died With the last shot fired only seven days after the first, a tal ly of both sides showed all the leaders but Bonney and Chisum dead by gunfire. In lightning succession, Chisum's gigantic herd, untended, became easy nrev for rustlers, the county was subdivided into smaller counties, and the land was set tled and broken into farms and ranches. The day sf the cattle baron was over m New Mexico. What happened Es Billy the Kid? Following fee television recipe etosety, he stayed around for two more years until his pepstfanty finally waned.
