Press Attacks
By the Associated Press

United States officials yes
terday discounted the import
ance of attacks on the United
States published in South Wet
namese newspapers at Saigon.
Although the papers fire.
quently reflect the views of
President Ngo Dinh Diem's
government. authorities here
feel the current attacks do not
stem from that source.
The United States is now ne
gotiating with Mr.. Diem for
internal economic and political
reforms, which in the United
States view would provide a
broader base of popular sup
port for Mr.. Diem's fight
against Communist guerrilla
forces.
The newspaper attacks which
accused the United States of
following an ''imperialistic"
policy toward South Wet Nam,
would indicate a government
propaganda campaign against
United States proposals for
change in his administration if
they were inspired by Mr.. Diem.
DecentraIize Authority
These proposals, reportedly
approved by President Kennedy,
are understood to call for meas
ures to decentralize some Of the
Saigon administrations author
ity, particularly in the military
field, and to make the benefits
Of United States economic as
sistance reach down to the viii
lage level.
One charge by the Saigon
newspapers was that "the Amer
leans will help Wet Nam only
on conditions. and the main
condition is to be able to govern
this country under the usual
policy Of the imperialists."
In expressing the belief the
attacks did not come from Pres
ident Diem. authorities here
said they are still hopeful agree
ment can be reached between
Washington and Saigon on the
United States proposals.
Secretary of State Rusk met
for about 40 minutes yesterday
with Ambassador Tran Van
Chuong of South Wet Nam.
State Department officials said
this was one Of a series of con-
sultations under way here and
in Saigon on means Of strength
ening resistance to Red guer-
rilla warfare.
Building Up Mission
They said the meeting was
not the result Of the press criti-
cism reported in news dis
patches from Saigon.
The United States has been
building up its military assist
ance mission in South Wet Nam
for several weeks and is under
stood to be prepared to give
much greater assistance to the
Diem government, subject to
that governments taking meas
ureS on its own behalf, not only
in the economic and political
fields, but also in its military
organization.
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
President Kennedy's chief mill
tary adviser, who recently Wis
tied South Wet Nam, is under
stood to have reported a need
for much greater authority for
Mr.. Diem's field commanders
so they would be able to respond
more quickly to local Commu-
mist attacks,
The Kennedy administration
has ruled out for the time being
sending United States troops to
South Wet Nam. But it has
been reported the United States
is talking with other Asian
allies, notably Pakistan, Thai
land, and the Philippines, about
the possibility of sending in
Asian troops to assist the Wet
namese if it should be necessary.

servance began last January s

Confederate Prison
The 1861 observance of the
Civil War Centennial in Della
ware will be centered largely
around historic old Fort Del
aware on Pea Patch Island in
the Delaware River approx
mately IL miles south of Will
mington.
This huge pentagon structure
of granite and brick served as
a prison for Confederates cap
tured during the War Between
the States. More than 2,40O
died there and are buried in the
Firms Point National Cemetery
across the river in New Jersey.
Fort Delaware will be open
to the public on week-ends and
holidays from May 27 through
October /, and will be the site
of several special Centennial
events during the sum m r
months. Among the events now
being planned are a sham battle

ends and holidays during the
1861 season, and will be oper-
ated at approximately one-half
hour intervals. The last boat
will leave the island for the
mainland at 7 p. m. A small
nominal charge will again be
made for the boat transporta-
ton.
The picturesque Fort drew
visitors from 81 states and 7
foreign countries last year and
was also the Mecca of numer-
Gus photographers, amateur and
professional, who found that it
provides many possibilities for
! photographs redolent of the
Civil War period.
Organizations Taking Part
The Fort and island are un-
der the supervision of the Del
aware State Park Commission
and the museum on the island
is operated by the Fort Della
ware Society.
Delaware's participation in
the nationwide Civil War Cen
tennial observance is spearhead-
ed by a statewide Centennial
Commission headed by Luther
D. Reed, managing director of
Eleutherian Mills Hagley Foun-
dation, Wilmington. In addition
to the Civil War Round Table
of Wilmington and the Fort
Delaware Society, the following
organizations are cooperating,
or in some manner assisting, in
the observance: the State Gov
ernment, through the Public Ar
chives Commission, the State
Park Commission, the Delaware
State Development Department
and the Delaware National
Guard; the City of Wilmington;
the Levy Court of New Castle
County; the Town of Delaware
City; the Historical Society of
Delaware; the Civil War Round
Table of Kent County; the Civil
War Round Table of Sussex
County; and various patriotic,
veterans and civic groups.

phia; a concert of Civil Wal
music by the Blue Rock VIEW
Junior Drum and Bugle Corps
and a concert by a Whining
ton vocal group.
The Fort was used as a pris-
on from April, 1862, until late
in 1865. Thirteen Confederate
generals were prisoners there
at different times and hundreds
of majors and colonies were
kept in the classmates of the
Fort along with many political
prisoners and others who had
aroused the ire of the Federal
Government.
The rooms in which the gen.
erals were kept, the large halls
where other officers were i'm
prisoned, and the dungeons in
which recalcitrant pr is on er
were confined will again be
opened to the public. These
still appear pretty much as they
did during the Civil War per-
iod.
Old Fortress Sole Reminder
Enlisted men were kept pris-
oners in wooden barracks out
side the Fort on Pea Patch Is
land. The disease and death
rate was so high that Fort Del
aware gained the unenviable
regulation of being the "Ander-
sonville of the North" The
wooden structures have, OF
course, long since disappeared
leaving the old fortress as the
sole reminder of the stirring
days of the American Civil War.

Students who fail usually do so
not because they cannot do the work,
but because they have not learned
to approach their studies in any or
gained manner.
They have drifted through their
early school days without acquir-
ing any method of study. In most
instances there has not been any
need. School was merely placeto
them and their parents where they
spent their da ytime hours. The
program was filled with social &C
tiviries and indeed there was little
time allotted or could be allotted
TO individual work.
Recitation and learning out Of
nee sity was done in groups.
Thought was expressed collective
ly. In our mass massacre Of learn
ing, we have forgotten that substi-
tuition for individual inventiveness
threatens creatiVity.
Throughout history progress
has been achieved in those quiet re-
treats where men examined their
problems apart from others. They
reach into the realm of aloneness
70 find self-confidence. They dis
cipline themselves to stay with
their task until they have arrived
at satisfactory conclusion. This
is what makes student.
We cannot find answers in an
endle round of debate and ex-
change of ignora amt opinion. We
must not fear to think alone. We will
only find solutions as self -discip-
lined men, willing to eparate
themselves from endless chatter
and useless activities.
There are many things we do not
know, but there are few things that
with time and patience we cannot
learn.
Sincerely,
