eotr. McNamara Set To Meet Diem SAIGON i LP! i Defense Sec retary Robert S. McNamara was reported planning to meet Presi dent Ngo Dinh Diem Sunday and discuss the findings of his tour this week of South Viet Nam. Diplomatic sources said the two men might meet in the mountain resort of Dalat, north of here. Assistant Defense Secretary Ar thur Sylvester, spokesman for McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, said he could not confirm the report. He acknowledged however, that a field trip the dc fense secretary was to have taken Sunday has been postponed until Monday. Sylvester also denied reports that he has been "managing news through over-nptimistic re ports on the progress of the war against communism in South Viet Nam. His reports had been criti cized by the U.S. press. He said he based his view of the war on the information U.S. officers here had given to Mc-i Namara and Taylor. j "What 1 told you is what we heard, that's all." he said. ! Taylor and McNamara arrived here four days ago. but so far neither of them has seen Diem or his brother. Ngo Dinh Nhu, ....

In The- Day's iws By FRANK JENKINS The other day this column dealt with an incident over on High way 99 Inow U.S. No. 5' in which motorists picked up a hitch-hiker and later beat him up, lobbed him of all his possessions and left him lying beside the road where he was later found by kindly trav elers w ho ministered to his needs including getting him to a hos pital. The incident moved this writer to say nostalgically: Wouldn't it be wonderful if the olden, golden days when one could unhesitatingly pick up some stranger who needed a ride and safely carry him on his way could come back again? What has happened to us, any way? A few days later, the mail brought a letter from a reader who wishes to remain incognito. In his letter he says,-, in s u In stance: . . "Am I a pessimist ... or a realist .. . . or just plain inhu man? I am a Western movie, TV and book fan, and from what 1 read in the books and see on the TV an movie screens 1 am led to believe . that in the old days there were evil people, just as there are evil people now. And there were good people, also- just as there are good people now. "I have read the Bible, and the Bible story of the Good Sa maritan is an old-fashioned, hitch hike story, differing in no essen tial way from this story of what happened to the hitch-hiker the other day on Highway 99. It's an interesting thought. It prompts this question: Just what did happen to this traveler of the long ago? St. Luke tells the story thus: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. "And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and -when he saw him he passed by on the other side. And like wise a Levile, when he was at the place, came and looked on him. and passed by on the other side." "But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him he had compassion on him. And he went to him. and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 'And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence and cave them to the host. and sairLiunto him.

NEW YORK iimi The Sig Three foreign ministers Saturday held a cautious and relaxed, hut fflcssclusive, discuss ion rf arms csntrol and also touched on the problem, posed fcy Communist China's warlike attitude, - Secretary of State Beau fiusk was host -at a "working lunch eon" for Soviet Foreisa Minister Andrei Gromyko and British For- jeijB Secretary Lord Home whkh tasted about 2li hours in Rusk's 3SUi floor suite at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel.

Howev er, the discussion was understood to have been fairly general, leav ing unanswered a dumber of questions the West would like answered. Western officials said Gromyko was in a -very relaxed and at times even philosophical mood and it appeared that Russia, like the United States and Eritaia, was anxious not to rock the boat at present by injecting too cos- trsversial elements tato the dis cussion.
