Troops Patrol Saigon
As RebeIIious Sects
Seek More Power

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
Mar. 26.-Nationalist troops pa
trolled Saigon's streets in ar
mored cars tonight to prevent
violence by rebellious Wet Nam
csc sects demanding more power
in South Wet Mans government.
The civilian populace remained
calm, however, and theaters and
dance halls were full.
A 'deadline for action by Pre-
mier Ngo Dinh Diem expired this
afternoon. Trouble might come
during a huge anti-Diem demon
stration planned for tomorrow
by the groups, which have pri-
vate armies totaling between
80, 900 to 10000 men.
Americans we're ordered to re-
main indoors and French troops
were confined to barracks as the

U. S. Embassy Doubles Guard
The United States Embassy
doubled its Marine guard at the
two main buildings which house
it's political, communications and
information centers.
Mr.. Diem's American-support-
ed regime moved five of its bat
talions into the city. Paratroop-
ers took station in the railroad
yards and infantrymen manned
bridgeheads and made contin-
uous patrols of the streets. Ex-
cept for this show of armed
might, life flowed as usual.
The rebellious united front
the Hoa Hao and Gao Dali re-
ligious organizations and the
Binh Xuyen society of former
river pirates-declared negotia-
tions with Mr.. Diem had broken
down. AS consequence, 1t said
in communique. the premier
sis solely responsible for all con-
sequences"
A five-day ultimatum for a
government shakeup expired at
$3.50 pm. half an hour before the
deadline Mr.. Diem sent the front
a message declaring he was will
ing to continue conversations.
Troops BivOuack at Palace
Shortly after this the great
wrought iron gates into indie
pendence palace where Mr.. Diem
lives changed shut. An armored
car took up a position beside the
entrance. Two companies of he'll
melted troops bivouacked on the
spacious palace grounds.
The united fronts main griev-
ance against Mr.. Diem is that he
has refused to take care of their
private armies, whose subsidies
were cut off by the French in
February. These armies had
been used with other independent
units to help the French fight
the Communicated Wet Mimi
in the Indochina war before
Wet Nam gained independence.
Only one of the fronts seven
top men showed up for a meeting
with Mr.. Diem last night. The
Premier, considering this slap
in the face, refused to talk to
secondary representatives.
Before these delegates left they
presented stiff terms. These in
clude a complete shakeup of the
government, with a Presidium
consisting of the Premier and
four Vice Premiers, creation of a
cabinet including 10 ministers
nominated by the front and the
formation of a consultative coun-
Gil of IS members. The front also
called for a national assembly of
100 members which would have
full power to make laws and form
governments.

1t means that the increasing con-

good which came with the revival of
social consciousness during the last
century and was greatly accelerated
after the depression of 1929 had gone

The common man had become too

The time had come to call halt
1t means therefore that now we
must return to the classical doctrine
of giving free rein to business, to the
removal of restraints on the individ-
ual's effort to acquire the worldly
goods and in this way the interests
of all will be best served.
It would be unfair to say that this
return to extreme lndlvlduallSm means
that the little fellow is entirely for

HUNDREDS HELPED BY M.S.U.

"About 80 isolated or handicapped
GRADE school children study at home
each year." says Mrs. Haight, further
explaining the study by mail pro-
cram. "This year "a of these chill
dren are physically handicapped. Be-
tween 500 and 600 high school stu
dents learn at home or take certain
studies in high school by correspond
ence each year. Some of them are
isolated, some are handicapped, some
are married and have small children.
and some are employed and need a
high school diploma to secure adj
vancement in their work.
"Most of them, however, are bows
and girls attending small high schools
which cannot offer certain subjects
desired by their students. Usually
the student carries three subjects
in high school and the fourth by cor
respondence. Even though the high
school is small, the student may take
correspondence courses in such sub
iects as a foreign language, tipping
and shorthand, clothing construction,
drawing and design, farm mechanics,
mechanical drawing, or the more
usual academic subjects. Under ideal
conditions he uses a designated study
period in school to prepare his cor
respondence lessons"
Among this years high school stu
dents are four men at the state prison
at Deer Lodge. They range in age
from twenty to forty-five.
"Worl1ing with them becomes .
five-way process involving the state
superintendent, the high school prin-
cipal, the warden, the Correspondence
School, and the student himself"

center provides for men at the penal

function of government? What is his
definition of democracy that the bene-
fits for the common man are to be de-
rived from the over-abundance of the
other fellows table?
Most certainly his is not the liberals
definition For to him it seems democ-
racy simply means winning an cleo
ton, counting heads to decide which
group is to enjoy the fruits and pre-
negatives of power and to the devil
with the minority.
To the liberal, this idea of indirect
aid to the many, the trickle down
theory, seems like a dangerous mis-
conception of both democracy and the
function and nature of government.
None the less it is some peoples
philosophy of life and it must be rec
ognized as such. We can no more
solve the problems we face by excell-
ing the reactionaries in name calling
than they can.
Our hope lies in trying to win our
point on the basis of free and open
discussion of the fundamental philoso-
phies which determine our fiscal poll
cies. Most certainly we can't win by
merely playing poker for a bigger
piece of the total economic pie.
While the administration idea OF
indirect help to the people may to us
seem either foolish or dishonest, it is
none the less their philosophy.
It reminds one of the fellow who
fed his horses we'll so the birds would
have enough to eat.
We may think that rather impractl-
cal, but it was probably not entirely
wrong
No doubt it had deep psychology

deep respect for and a dependence on

For many years, particularly during
the last campaign, the frightening
prophecy that America was on the
road to certain destruction has been a
most powerful political weapon in the
hands of the extreme right. The pre-
dicted end was to result from an in
sidious creeping socialism" that was
sucking the life-blood out of our
democracy.
This cancerous creeping socialism"
that was destined to destroy America,
it's morality, character, business and
political life was largely identified
with the many new steps-functions
the government was taking to pro-
tect the little fellow, the oppressed,
those who by nature and training were
poorly equipped for the wild scramble
for material wealth.
AS already referred to, the ending
of the last century experienced rude
awakening to the dangers of unre-
strained competition, individualism
and the acquisition of wealth as a
major goal.
A long series of bitter and violent
strikes, the restlessness Of both farm
and labor groups, the callousness
to suffering and the brutal contempt
for human values which so often char
acterized the business life created
doubts in the minds of many that the
newly developed philosophy of life
was sound. In both secular and strictly
religious groups there was strong
and growing conviction that society,
the sum total of all the people, the
government is under moral obligation
