Mulele was a 39-year-old Peking -trained leftist who turned against the central government after serving as education minister in the Patrice Lumumba regime, which took control when Belgium granted this African territory independence in '1960. A special military court had sentenced Mulele to death for thn 1961-64 rebellion after a 15-hour trial Tuesday, 10 days after he returned from exile in the neighboring Conro Republic Brazzaville under a presumed amnesty. Brazzaville broke off diplomatic relations with the Congo last night in protest against the trial and execution. * * * . Hanoi Challenges LBJ To Halt Attacks PARIS Hanoi's chief envoy to the Paris peace talks, Xuan Thuy, challenged President Johnson yesterday to halt all U.S. attacks against North Vietnam as a move to ward peace while he "still has enough time and power." Thuy offered nothing concrete in return. • U.S. Ambassador W. Averell Harriman told Thuy that the United States is willing to move far and fast toward peace the minute "your government gives us reason to believe it is also prepared to act." Talking later with newsmen, Harriman said: "We made no progress at all." While calling for an end to the American bombing and other operations above the border, Thuy offered no assur ance that North Vietnam would respond with anything more definite than a discussion of "questions of interest to both parties." U.S. spokesman William Jorden, addressing newsmen after the meeting, said: "It's quite evident that President Johnson has the time and the power to stop the bombing, and I think he will do it when he feels that the situation is appropriaite and would lead toward peace." •* * * Peace Hopes Shine in Israeli Statement UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. The United States de tected a ray of hope yesterday in the latest official Israeli statement on prospects of peace in the Middle East, but Arab diplomats said a first look uncovered nothing new. Abba Eban, the Israeli foreign minister, offered to the General Assembly Tuesday what he described as a com prehensive program for building a permanent peace with the Arab nation. A U.S. spokesman described Eban's speech as im portant, and stressed anew the emphasis the United States was placing on the private negotiations taking place at the United Nations under the auspices of Gunnar V. Jarring, the U.N.,peace envoy. • "We note the foreign minister's assurance that Israel will cooperate in this task," the spokesman added. ,The Arab- diplounittfieaChea' private- agreetherit - notAir; reP)T,lrnMeatktelo* - 4ard to the Eban speech , but can , be :expected 'to!do'so'ili- - the general policy debate.

An official spokesman for Thieu, however, denied knowledge of any coup , attempt, although he admitted the government had placed South Vietnam's armed forces on full alert. The U.S. Embassy also said it had no infor mation about an abortive coup. The source, who is in a position to know, told The Associated Press that several Vietnamese majors and colonels had already ben arrested. "You can expect a lot of people to be arrested in the next few days as a result of the coup attempt that failed," he said. The source reported that the coup was thwarted Tues day night. If true, it was the first attempt to overthrow Thieu's government since he came into power in October, 1967, * * The Nation Apollo 7 Lift-off Progresses Smoothly CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. -- The three Apollo 7 astro nauts fine-tuned their pilot skills yesterday while tech nicians at their launch pad worked smoothly toward an on-time lift-off Friday for an 11-day flight that could set America back on course for the moon. Even as Navy Capt. Walter M. Schirra Jr., Air Force Maj. Donn F. Eisele and civilian astronaut Walter Cunning ham drilled in a computer-driven mock spacecraft, three other spacemen who may fly around the moon at Christmas time saw their huge Saturn 5 rocket rolling to a launch pad seven miles away from that of Apollo 7. • The two event—Apollo 7 preparations and rollout of the 363-foot-tall Saturn 5 vehicle to be launched about Dec. 20—combined to demonstrate that the nation's man to the moon program apparently has recovered from the stunning setback' received when three astronauts died in the Apollo fire •Jan. , 27. 1967.
