Although the gold bullion was bound for the mint it becomes the mint's responsibility only after officials here receive it, said chief accountant Gus Grol- eau. He said he is not aware which of the mines in the Red Lake Ont., area sent the bullion. The bars, which by regulation must not exceed 75 pounds each, would be numbered according to the mine's own accounting mm President Hubert H. Humphrey faces questioning today on the Johnson administration's Asia policies after Congress' over- whelming passage Tuesday of a $4,800,000,000 Viet Nam author- ization. Before approving the meas- ure, the Senate crushed by a vote of 92 to 5 an effort by Sen- ator Wayne Morse (Dem. Ore.) to revoke a 1964 resolution which endorsed the use of force by President Johnson to com- bat Communist. aggression in Asia, vines A atannms chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee -- leadoff man in the questioning of Hum- phrey at an afternoon closed session--joined the hard core of presidential policy critics back- ing the Morse move. The House of Representatives whisked the military supply measure through by a vote of 392 to 4. In opposition were four democrats. Democratic Senator Ernest Gruening of Alaska offered an amendment to prohibit the use they chose to fight there. It was chopped down by a 94-to-2 vote, with only Morse supporting Gru- ening. Fulbright said he regrets pas- sage of the 1964 resolution which he sponsored at the time. He added it was passed after the Tonkin Gulf attack "but now you have an entirely different set of circumstances," Several senators said their vote against the rider and for the money bill didn't mean they approve the way Johnson is running the war. scimi unten i et tutgtsgetgesrengsrn ninco At Airport WINNIPEG (CP)--Two men working under the camouflage of stolen uniforms and a forged order slip intercepted a mint- bound gold shipment at Winni- peg International Airport Tues- day night and drove away with bullion valued at $208,000.

"That's one job we don't pant to take on," Judge Robb retorted. said the standard procedure would have been for TransAir to transport the gold to the Air Canada freight section inside the main terminal building.
