In Saigon Escapes
Hurled Grenade

SAIGON. South Wet Nam,
July 8 (AP).-A grenade was
thrown at United States Am
baSsador Frederick Nolting's S
car today, but it failed to
explode and no one was hurt.
Authorities believed the assail-
ants were Wet Con Commu-
niStS.
A United States Embassy
spokesman said the Ambassador
went quietly home for lunch
after the incident, which took
place a few blocks away from
his residence.
Two men riding a motor
cycle, believed to have been
waiting earlier at a street cor
ner, suddenly appeared, and
threw what was described as a
homemade" grenade at the
rear window of the car.
The Embassy spokesman said
the grenade was 6 to 8 inches
long and 3 or 4 inches in
diameter. It landed on the car
roof.
A bodyguard in the cara

times at the aSsailants, but
they apparently were not hit

Rusk and Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, recently named Mr..
Kennedy'S personal military
representative.
Normally, it might be ex-
pected that the military chiefs,
or at least Gen. Lyman l.. Lem
nitzer, their chairman, would
be included in such a high
level conference.
However, the White House
view was understood to be that
this is just one OF a series of
meetings on the Berlin crisis,
that such meetings do not
always include representatives
of the jos.
BruShOff Doubted
Sources familiar with Gen.
Lemnitzer'S thinking disputed
a suggestion that omission of
the military chiefs or Gen.
Lemnitzer means they are being
brushed aside in favor of Gen.
Taylor, an outSpoken critic of
the jos system.
These sources said the Presi-
dent is aware of the Joint
Chiefs views on possible mill
tary measures in the Berlin
situation. They noted tnat Gen.
Lemnitzer sat in on the recent
National Security Council
meeting at which possible steps
for dealing with the renewed
Soviet threat were discussed.
1t was suggested that the
Cape Cod meeting would con-
slider the jos views along with
foreign policy and other aspects
Of the Berlin question.
And here, the sources said,
is where Gen. Taylor would be
expected to play a broader
role than the strictly military
one performed by the JCS.
Taylor Role Seen
Associates, Of Gen. Lcmnitzer
have suggested that Gen. Tay-
lor could serve useful pur-
pose in lending a professional
soldiers guidance to admins
tration thinking which comes
largely from civilian officials
with a theoretical and academic
background.
Gen. Lemnitzer has been pic
tured as expecting no clash Of
authority with Gen. aylor, un-
der whom he served a few years
ago when Gen. Taylor was
Army Chief of Staff.
Gen. Lemnitzer has conferred
with Gen. Taylor at least twice

First, Mr.. Khrushchev ap-
peared to be trying to demon
Strate a Soviet military readi-
ness to face the showdown with

Second, Mr.. Khrushchev pos

Washington talk of the past
several weeks about a buildup

Third, the Soviet Premier

China problem in the United
Nations.
Ambassador Drumright told
reporters Yesterday that Ma
tionalist China would find it
difficult to sit in the United
Nations alongside the Outer
MongolianS." He noted that
Taipei officials had stated pub
licly they would "use all pos
sible measures" to bar Outer
Mongolia's admission.
United States diplomats have
h eld exploratory discussions
with Outer Mongolian officials
in Moscow to determine if the
remote Asian nation has "the
attributes Of an independent
state" and thus would be eligi-
BILE for United States recogni-
ton.
Ambassador Drumright called
attention to the anxiety" in
Taipei because of American ex-
ploration of the possibility of
entering into a diplomatic ar
rangement with Outer Mon
golia."
Nationalist China regards
Outer Mongolia as a part of
China. Red China and the So
Wet Union are rivals in estab-
fishing domination over the
weak Outer Mongolian govern
ment.
The situation in the Chinese
offshore islands is quiet" the
Ambassador reported, and there
has been no very unusual ac-
tivity" in the area since the
crisis in 1858.
Ambassador Drumright'S last
visit to Washington was in De-
cember, 1859. He said he would
be honored if he could see the
President, but this would be up

Berlin through any one-sided
Soviet action. The United
States. Britain and France say
they are in Berlin under World
War II occupation rights that
cannot be changed except by
mutual agreement.
2. No initiative for an inter-

mands, which the United States
feels leaves little room for ne
gotiation.
3. A preference for a broader
settlement of the German ques-
ton based on Identification of

the German people. Under this
plan, the Berlin issue would
be solved automatically by the
nationwide reunification.
