torney General Richard Klein-dienst said Tuesday that the Justice Department is investigating some leaders of last week's anti-Vietnam war demonstration here for possible violations of the federal antiriot law. He said some members of the steering committee of the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam which sponsored last weekend's demonstration are the subjects of the investigation, which could lead to indictments under the 1968 antiriot law. THE STATUTE prohibits crossing a state line for the purpose of inciting violence, and is the basis for the current trial in Chicago of seven men charged with instigating unrest during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Kleindienst declined to give the names of those being investigated. However, during a long news conference he repeatedly associated incidents of violence with David T.

Dellinger, who is currently being tried in Chicago under the federal antiriot. law for his involvement in the disturbances last year at the Democratic National Convention in that city. The most violent outburst here last weekend involved militants who demonstrated against the Chicago trial at the Justice Department. DURING his news conference Kleindienst repeatedly criticized the New Mobe leaders and praised those who led the antiwar moratorium of Oct. 15.

He said the New Mobe committee gave assurances throughout negotiations for parade permits that they would disavow the acts of violence that were being planned by radical elements. Among the plans the government heard about was a plot by an unidentified group of "revolutionary radicals" to invade the Justice Department and destroy records, he said. But he said that after troops were stationed within the building, "the basic cowardice" of the group asserted itself and the attack did not materialize. AFTER being told of these plans, the New Mobe leaders failed to speak out against them and gave a microphone at Saturday's rally to Dellinger, who Kleindienst said "has a background and history of violence." Dellinger urged people at the rally to join the demonstration at the Justice Department later in the day. Philippines Gets Millions For War Aid? WASHINGTON JP Sen.

The constant shelling of the camp only five miles from the Cambodian border resumed Tuesday at daybreak with a bombardment of about 20 mortar shells. The 60 MM mortars have a range of about 2,000 yards, indicating the closeness of North Vietnamese troops to the camp.

LARGE numbers of South Vietnamese forces surrounding the outpost have been reporting frequent clashes. South Vietnamese casualties Monday were reported light in several hours of intense fighting. Bu Prang, a building-speckled patch of red dust in rolling countryside came, under attack three weeks ago from North Vietnamese firing out of Cambodia. The border encloses the two-year-old camp on three sides, putting it in the middle of a hostile area devoid of civilians. DEFENDED by several hundred Montagnard tribesmen who live In Bu Krak and Bu Tom Rang, two settlements outside the perimeter wire and a small team of American advisers, Bu Prang is accessible only by air, unlike Due Lap, another Special Forces camp under pressure 30 miles to the Convoys run regularly from Ban Me Thuot to Due Lap about 40 'miles away, but only one has been attempted to Bu Prang in two years unsuccessfully.

French Farmers Protest Policy PARIS (Reuters) French farmers heaped manure outside government offices, blocked roads with burning tires and staged other demon strations throughout the country Tuesday to protest various aspects of government farm polity.

Sources close to Thieu said he had been informed of the case through military channels earlier but had probably accepted the view of regional officials that the killings were an unavoidable act of war, probably the result of a heavy artillery barrage that preceded the arrival of the infantry unit. The investigation he is reported to be preparing to order would be conducted by the joint general staff of South Vietnam's armed forces. Meanwhile, American military spokesmen continued their silence on the case, noting the army is still conducting an investigation.

Embassy spokesmen said Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker had not been aware of the case until last week's newspaper reports.

Paul Lindstrom, a suburban Chicago minister, said Monday that the younger Van Fleet's name was on a list of 97 prisoners he had obtained from underground sources in North Korea and North Vietnam through Canadian intermediaries. Ex-Beatles' Teacher Faces Legal Action NEW DELHI (Reuters) India has asked Maharishi a i Yogi, one-time guru of the Beatles, why it should not prosecute him for having a bank account, abroad without reserve bank permission, a minister said here Tuesday.

Nf in fork Qlmt Dispatch To The Sentinel SAIGON President Nguyen Van Thieu was reported Tuesday to be preparing an order for a full investigation by the South Vietnamese military into assertions that up to ,567 villagers were killed by American troops during a sweep in 1968J The case was brought to Thieu's attention Saturday after reports in the American press that the army was holding up the discharge of First Lt. James L. Calley Jr. pending an inquiry into the mass murder.

THE former platoon leader in the America! Division faces a possible court martial on charges of having murdered an unspecified number of civilians during a sweep through the village Songmy on March 16, 1968. Official South Vietnamese sources here ascribed the apparent slowness of their government to take action in the case primarily to regular reports of heavy civilian casualties in this war. They cited also an unwillingness to believe the original reports because they came from an area of heavy Viet Cong influence, which rendered suspect the accounts of survivors. IN THE background, the sources said, was a widespread reluctance to make an issue of the case for fear of giving credence to enemy propaganda. This reluctance continues.

No South Vietnamese newspaper has reported the charges of mass murder. Newsmen said this was due largely to the reluctance of editors to lay themselves open to susp icion of anti-Americanism, which' might be construed as Marchers Cost GI Lives: Blount WASHINGTON Postmaster General Winton M. Blount, back from a trip to Vietnam, said Tuesday that antiwar demonstrations are prolonging the war and "killing American boys." After meeting with President Nixon at the White House, Blount said he talked to more than a thousand servicemen in Vietnam and that they couldn't understand the demonstrations because they are "making this war longer and tougher." Blount said the demonstrators have a perfect right to gather and express opinions. simply say they are he said and he added: "I think the problem is that the demonstrators don't want the President to be president.

chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said also that several hundred million dollars in grants were paid to the Philippines. "They have not done anything except what we paid for in Vietnam" despite membership in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, Fulbright said. "FOR THE troops they sent down there we paid a handsome fee, did we not?" he asked in testimony made public Tuesday. Elsewhere the record showed the United States paid $33 a month to each Philippine private first class and as much as $210 a month to brigadier generals heading the Philippine contingent of Army engineers stationed at Tay Ninh Vietnam. The Philippine general received base pay and allowances of $305 from his own army while privates were paid $43 a month.

The disclosures were part of the transcript of heavily censored i mony including 21 blank 1 pages said to have been eliminated in the interests of national secu-rity. RELEASE OF the material was held up one week by a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee which has been investigating U.S. security agreements.

He summarized 36 investigations conducted partially or in whole by an Air Force law enforcement agency from Jan. 1, 19G8 through June 30, 19G9. "An atmosphere of general lawlessness appears to exist throughout the area surrounding Clark Air Force Base," the colonel said. "There appears to be a general disrespect for law and order, a strong tendency toward violence as a way of settling personal and political disputes.
