Arizona tribune., 1961-02-01

MONG the most contr
personalities on the stage today,
is the queen of the blues, Dinah
Washington - she of the six hus-
bands. Dinah is known to say
what she thinks, choosing what
ever words she feels to be most
acutely descriptive.
But her explosive moods are
usually "gone with the wind"
and she emerges as a warm-heart-
ed person who treats people as
she wants to be treated.
IT'S learning things like these
about celebrities that make my
job joy. But you don't get to
make friends with the stars by
simply bursting in with press
card and a camera. The best way
is to be an honest, straight-for-
ward fellow who is willing to
show his subject courtesy and
respect. After you are accepted
as a friend, the job Of taking
pictures becomes as easy as
squeezing your trigger finger.
Arizona tribune., 1961-02-01

EVERYONE wants to know what
It's like meeting and knowing SO
many people whose names are
always in the news.
One of the most fascinating
things about my job is really
getting to know the big names
of show business and comparing
their true personalities with the
Impressions given the celebrity
conscious public. Some are just
the way they seem. some are not.
Take Eartha Kilt, for example.
On stage, she is a. devastatingly
sultry mink who generates tre-
mendous excitement, especially
among males. Off stage, without
the sultry bit, she is still as
exciting. Accused of being
moody, and she is, Eartha sti-
mulates strong emotions in those
around her.
Lena Horne, gets my unQuali-
fled vote as the sweetest person
atty in show business, and also
the most photogenic. It is almost
impossible to take bad picture
of her. A woman with a genuine
love for people, she has been
known to prefer the company of
a backstage doorman to that Of a
boiSterouS millionaire.
Lena's wonderful personality
is matched on the male side by
that of Nat liking" Cole, a won
derfully talented singer who can
only be described offstage as a
"gentleman's" gentleman. Still,
Nat gives one the impression of
being a worrier given to quiet
moods, but his warm good manner
never changes. no matter what
may be going on inside.
81 fellow whose inner feelings are
reflected in his offstage person
ality- and, infrequently, onstage
lis my best show business pal,
Sammy Davis. Jr.
Whatever Sammy does makes
news, and while he may seem to
be just an irrepressible kid to
some, he is tremendously intelli-
gent, to which any radio, TV, or
newspaper reporter will attest,
and he is very outspoken on raci-
al matters. Another of Sammy's
qualities, not too easily found in
show business, is his outstand-
ing loyalty to friends.

primarily to whoever happens
to be around at the time.
Today the government and
press in Saigon are claiming
a smashing victory over the
Wet Cong in the reelection of
President Diem to another five
year term of office. There is
no doubt that he did win
handily over two obscure op-
ponentS. 1t is also true that
despite threats Of reprisal
from the Wet Cong a large
part of the country went to
the polls.
Yet, given the strange schizo-
phrenia existing in much of
the country today there may
be some doubt about what that
really proves. There is an I'M
comfortable feeling that many
Of the villagers who hung out
national flags and trooped to
the polls under the eye of the
army may have spent the pre-
vious few days defacing posters
and distributing handbills pro-
claiming the ultimate triumph
Of communism in South Wet
Nam.

neua. Against the cost Of
achieving this, they suggest the
price that might be paid for
compromise. Communist VIC
tory in Laos would isolate Wet
nam completely from Thai
land. throw the full weight of
the Communist apparatus into
a struggle that has already
reached a critical point.
And after that?

the success which it has
achieved so far gives a special
perspective to leaders of the
government here when 1t comes
to the problems of Southeast
Asia as a whole. Engaged as
they are in a struggle against
communism in which no COM
promise is possible, their great
est fear is a compromise by
the Western powers which
would give the Communists
ultimate control in Laos.
In highest government circles
today one can hear bitter talk
of an impending Munich and
impassioned warnings about
what the consequences would
be.
Laos Key to Conquest
Indeed, these leaders see
Laos as the key to a cor-ordi-
mated pattern Of conquest. To
be stopped, they argue, the
attack must be smashed where
it began, on the Plaine des
JarreS in Laos and in the
Communist controlled pro-

meeting the Communist thrust
into Southeast Asia.
The West, indeed, is waking
up rather Ute to the fact that
South Wet Nam for some time
has been fighting a hot war
that dwarfs the action in Laos.
1t is surprised to learn that the
government of President Ngo
Dinh Diem has come perilously
close to losing this war against
an enemy who has never yet
fought a major battle.
And yet the pattern might
have come straight out of a
textbook on Subversive war by
President Ho Chi Mimi of
North Wet Nam. The tactics
used against this country are
precisely those used success
fully by the Communist leader
against the French, culminat-
ing with the battle of Dien Bien
Phu in 1854. And they are lead

ers who refused to cooperate
were assaSsinated. A campaign
of terrorism to complete the
isolation of local administra-
tors was launched. In particu-
lar, the Wet Cong sabotaged ef-
forts of the central government
to improve the lot of the
people.
Today In Southern Wet Nam
local government activity is
practically at a standstill
Schools are closed; government
health officers and anti
malaria teams have been driven
from many villages. Farmers
refuse government crop loans
from fear of Wet Cong re-
prisal. Hundreds Of govern
ment installations, medical aid
stations, civic centers, roads
and bridges have been damaged
or destroyed.
Military Attacks Start
The military phase Of the
Communist attack on south
Wet Nam began last year after
considerable fanfare from the
Hanoi radio. The first actions
were limited to small bands OF
guerrilla fighters. A few men
concealed behind the dikes OF
the rice paddles, would open
fire on a troop convoy. A dozen
or so might attack an isolated
post in the night, disappear
| ing before help could arrive.
From such small beginnings
| the tempo Of Wet Cong
military activity has increased
sharply. BY last fall engage
ments with guerrillas organized
into "batalionS" of 300 or
400 men became fairly common
After a lull, during which the
Wet Cong regrouped and re-
paired its losses, the fighting
is now expected to pick ur
again.
Exact numbers Of the Com
munist troops operating in
South Wet Nam are hard to
come by. Most authorities here
however, put the total at some
thing close to 5000 Wet Cong
regulars" who can always
supplement their numbers with
volunteers" drawn from the
villages for special operations
Military and civilian casual
ties on both sides have been
running about 500 a month
with the government claiming
a substantial edge in the losses
inflicted.
From a military standpoint
one is assured, the threat SC
| far is limited. Whenever it has
found an enemy to fight, the
l5O.0O0-man American-trained
Wet Nam army has performed
we'll and its guerrilla techniques
are improving fast.
PsychO-POliticaI Threat
The threat, however, is al
this point less military than
psychological and political. In
a subversive war it is always
possible to lose the country
while winning the battles.
The Communist attack has
succeeded in creating a climate
Of insecurity. It's major aim
has been to force the govern
ment more and more into the
position Of the French a decade
ago, controlling towns and
roads and installations, but
leaving the villages and farms
increasingly to the mercy OF
the Wet Cong.
Diem Election Victory
Already. it is hard to know
exactly where the control" Of
one side leaves off and the
other begins. Most certainly
the same villagers who are
drafted by the army into re-
pairing roads by day are often
out tearing them up again
under Wet Cong supervision
by night. So far as the un-
happy farmer is concerned

ing to results which are un-
comfortably familiar to those
who remember the grim lessons
of the Indo- Chinese war.
Started After Peace Farley
The new phase of Communist
penetration started soon after
the peace conference of Geneva
divided Wet Nam neatly into
Communist and non Commu-
mist halves at the 18th paral-
lei. Despite the regrouping of
population which took place at
the time, a number of large
Communist enclaves were left
in the South which made a
natural hunting ground for in
filtrating agents of the Red
regime in Hanoi.
Significantly, the secret in
vasion started at the moment
when President Diem, after an
inauspiciouS beginning, was
showing signs of establishing
something like genuine politi-
cal control over the country.
The departing French had left
behind an administration that
controlled little more than the
major towns and lines of COM
munication. The problem of
the new government was to
extend its authority to the
farms and villages that had
been run for years by admin
istrators of the revolutionary
Wet Mini.
Diem's Plan
From the outset President
Diem understood one fact very
clearly: The only way to de-
feat communism in South Wet
Nam in the long run was to
raise the standard of living.
Liberation from colonial rule
/ had brought with 1t the in
evitable pressure for quick and
tangible improvement. Backed
by massive American aid, the
government was beginning to
make substantial progress when
the Communists decided to
move in.
The first steps were not
spectacular. Concentrating in
the rice-rich delta area in the
South, returning agents began
by making contact with SYM
pathetic villagers, rebuilding
the basic organization for sub
version, IRE educating" tn e
population in the ultimate gsal
Of reuniting Wet Nam under
Communist rule. Gradually, by
persuasion and terror, the au-
thority Of the government was
undermined over large areas.
/ Terror Campaign
With the first phase COM
pleted, the Wet Cong-as the
new Communist guerilla or
ganization is called - stepped
up its attacks against the CEN
