Wet Mans Efforts toBor Truce
Present a Pathetic Spectacle
Nation Fights Division and Voices Doubt
On Election, But Views Lock Weight

complete Importantly. Even En-
peror Bao Dali would be willing
to make sacrifices IF necessary. y
Did the minister seriously be-
lieve the Communists would ac-
cept such a proposal?
IF the Communists reject it
every one will understand clearly
that they do not want a Just
settlement in Indo-C China. It will
also be clear that we have done
everything possible to achieve
unity and peace"
And if the conference ignores
the Wet Nam plan, what then?
II cannot say what the policy
of my government would be in
such case. / could not say
positively that we would refuse
to sign another agreement or
that the government would re-
sign. But our position is clear
and firm. We will not accept
the division of our country as
Germany and Korea have been
divided"
1t must be said there is little
real concern shown here about
Wet Nam objections and vision
airy proposals as the conference
drives forward to a finish. There
is tendency to shrug it off as
political move designed for
home consumption and the COM
ing political struggle with Com
munists after peace is restored.
The attitude of most delegations
is that Foreign Minister Do
speaks for a bankrupt govern
ment, sick in body and spirit.
The new Premier, Ngo Dinh
Diem, is reported on the verge
of a nervous breakdown after
his recent visit to Wet Nam.
Emperor Bao Dali is described
by his own people as very
fatigued" at his villa in Cannes
and suffering from a serious
kidney ailment. Men who feel
that peace is almost within their
grasp are impatient with any
obstacles at this stage.
u. S. Fears BaO's Tactics.
An exception is the United
States DELEGATION. Gun Shv
from its own experience in
Korea, the Americans have all
along been worried that Bao
Dali might pull a Syngman
Rhee" at the last minute and
defy the truce agreement worked
out by major powers at Geneva.
They are very anxious to avoid
getting involved in such a BUSH
ness.
At the same time rejection of
a peace pact by any of the As
ISOLATED States would make it
hard for the United States TO
offer even the most limited kind
Of recognition IN event of settle
ment. 1t might rule out a declara-
ton suggested by Undersecre-
tary of State Bedell Smith
yesterday in which the United
States would promise not to use
force to disturb a peace made
at Geneva. Since American &C
ceptance of a truce depends on
the attitude of the Associated
States, objections being voiced by
Wet Nam might be enough to
call for an outright statement
of disassociation by the United
States from the Geneva agree
ment-a move which allied
delegations fear might seriously
threaten prospects for peace in
Indo-C China.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star

GENEVA, July ia cynic
here has suggested that small
boys should keep out of the way
of steamrollers.
There's a pathetic side to last
minute efforts of the Wet Nam
government to block a truce
agreement and perhaps serious
side as well.
The move comes late in the
game. Saturday night a letter
from the Wet Nam delegation
was delivered to French head
quarters protesting bitterly
against French failure to keep the
Allies informed on the progress
of truce negotiations. 1t sug-
gested new peace plan based
on United Nations action.
Yesterday, at the first nine
power session in a month, Wet
Mans melancholy little Foreign
Minister Tran Van Do "categori-
cally rejected" all existing draft
proposals for a cease-fire based
on division of his country. He
called for a plenary session of
the conference to expound his
own plan.
A few hours earlier Foreign
Minister Do had sat on a sofa
of his quiet villa and argued his
case before a handful of Ameri-
can reporters.
Doubtful on Elections.
"We will never" he said, "ac-
cept a truce based on division
OF our country. Whatever any
one says now we believe that any
such division would become
permanent. It will be impossible
to fix here a time for elections
which would reunite Wet Nam.
No one at this point can say
when the conditions will exist
that would make elections pos
Sible.
1--WE have proposed our own
solution to the French delega-
ton. We have taken our stand
against the principle of a divi-
sion wherever the truce line
might be drawn. What we de-
mand is immediate disarmament
of forces on both sides, regulars
and irregulars. After that the
United Nations should be called
in to arrange a political settle
ment."
If this were done, said the
minister, the government of
Wet Nam would be willing to
withdraw" to demonstrate it's

Several Of Aides
Offer 10 Resign,
Showdown Is Due
Tomorrow Over
Shukeup Demands
By Cecil HoIIond


Senator Mccarthy disclosed
today that number of the stair
members of his controversy-rid-
den Senate Investigating Sub.
committee have Offered to re-
sign"
The Wisconsin Republican did
not reveal their names and said:
Il intend to try to persuade
them not to resign"
His statements was made one
day in advance of a showdown
meeting over the demands of
three Democratic and one Re-
publican member of the subcom-
mittee for a housekeeping" Of
the staff as a result of the bitter
McCarthy-Army controversy.
Senator Mccarthy said he
would have a statement later in
the day or tomorrow about the
designations that have been
offered.
This led to speculation that at
least some of them would be
accepted in a Mccarthy move to
forestall a bitter fight within the
subcommittee at tomorrow'S
meeting.
Resolution Pending.
Pending before the subcom-
mittee is a resolution proposed
by Senator Potter. Republican,
of Michigan calling for the
resignation of all staff members
as direct approach toward hav-
ing the subcommittee pass on
whether each staff member
should be retained.
The resolution has the support
of the three Democratic mem
bers of the subcommittee-Sen-
ators Mcclellan of Arkansas,
Symington of Missouri and
Jackson of Washington. The
one Republican and the three
Democrats are majority of the
Seven-member subcommittee.
The four Senators have de-
manded housekeeping before
Senator. Mccarthy resumes his
commissioning activities
a demand ignored by Senator
Mccarthy as he swung back
today into an investigation of
alleged Communists in defense
plants. s~4-
! Man Is Elected.
The investigation, in public
/ hearing in the Senate caucus
room, brought a storm usually
associated with Senator Nc
Carthy's hearings as one indi-
vidual identified as a Communist
was elected from the hearing
room after an angry exchange
with the Wisconsin Republican.
The individual was Charles
Wojchowski of Boston, who
charged that Senator Mccarthy
was denying him the same
rights and privileges the Wis
consin Republican had insisted
upon for himself during the Bit
ter McCarthy-Army hearings.
Before the row with Mr.. VOL
chowski, Senator Mccarthy in
terrupted the testimony of a
former FBI undercover agent
in the Boston area to, announce
that some members of the staff
had offered TO resign.
He said the designations had
been offered not because the
staff members felt there was
ANY merit to the smear at
tackS" against them.
Two Reasons Given.

because Cd they feel "the abuse

selves.
One high conference source
said Mr.. Mendes-France had
pushed away one obstacle to
peace in a tentative fashion,
the long debated question of the
international commission to po-
lice the armistice. This source
said the French and the Com
muniStS seem to have settled the
composition of the commission
with Canada, India and Poland
as the members. There would
be last minute changes, it was
emphasized.
British Support Seen.
The British, it was reported,
will support Mr.. Mehdes- France
on this composition. The po-
sition of the United States has
not been made known. In the
past the United States has OPP
posed the inclusion of any Com
munist states on the commission
because of the unhappy results
in Korea, where Czechoslovakia
and Poland hampered operations
Of the neutral nations Supervis-
DRY commission with their veto
power.
Under the tentative agreement
reached by Mr.. Mendes- France
and the Communists, decisions
would have to be taken by
unanimous vote on any issues
which might lead to the resump-
ton of hostilities. Otherwise a
simple majority would decide.
The conference source empha-
sized that the agreement was not
in its final form.
Progress also was reported UNI
officially on the question of cleo
tons in Wet Nam after the
ar1nistice. There were reports
the Communists were ready to
accept a delay of Is months.
Earlier they had asked for
vote on new government with
in six months. The French
originally asked for a two-year
delay.
Partition Expected.
There was little doubt that
Wet Nam was going to be par
titioned somewhere between the
14th and 18th parallels.
A Viet-NameSe spokesman
said sadly today, There will be
a partition and we realize we
cannot avoid it,"
A high American source said
1t will be very difficult for the
Communists to turn down the
offer made by Mr.. MendeS-
France and ''still make it ap-
pear they want peace"
Smith Confined to Room.
This source said that if the
Communists block MIR. Mendes-
Frances bid, they will lose ire
mendous ground in their effort
to win Asia for the Chinese,
particularly in India and Burma.
1t was reported that United
States Undersecretary of State
Walter Bedell Smiths statement
OF the United States position at
yesterdays session of the con-
ference had aroused no objec-
lions from the Communist side.
Gen. Smith stated that the Unit

LET USAGE The FACTS

MANY people have been appalled, when they have
read the recent articles headlnng the front pages OF
the press relative to the many varied DEEDS OF Grim COM

Reports of murder brutal murder, and gangster
stuff perpetrated by youths OF 10 to 10 years are Ger
tanly most shocking and hard to understand Youth,
the most precious segment OF our population gone
astray and we seem satisfied to call it juvenile denq-
uencv and LET il 20 at that. We hold meetings with
layen parents ministers, social workers ad psycha-
tristS and have much discussion and much giving out
Of lot of theories that prove little toward the solution

This is more than juvenile delinquency; it has
become paramount problem that should concern every
thoughtful citizen, moving him or her to work TO 1nd
the real cause, to face facts and work out solution
Yes we Law it to the underprivileged( the bad and
broken homes which in some instances are the real
but the fragrant recent murders that have shock
ed and Mortified decent people have been committed by
youths who hav had an average amount OF schooling
and have come from homes of higher standard with
spending money in their pockets What is wrong that
causes this tragic behavior? Illustration, some say
Yes but why the Illustration? The world situation, the
unrest fear and tension under which they live make
many types of reaction.
These youths no longer can concentrate on their
studies and they plan for the future that is uncer

them to enjoy They restless and seeing and hear

movies, comics, elevsion and gang groups have made
terrible impact upon them and as their emotions are
aroused the result is crime, and vicious
crime, that shocks society.

but adult behavior that has developed
society and be wise enough to get together
working to remedy the mistakes and give youth the
kind of society and peaceful world they deserve and
