sight. Never have so many United
States military men been involved
in combat arena without a for
NAL program to inform the public
about what goes on.
1t is a war fought without Of
ficial reports of any sort to the
public on the number of troops
involved or the amount of treasure
being poured in.
There are two reasons for this
lack of information, according to
unofficial" mot for attribution
statements at the State Depart
ment.
The first is that if the United
States issued communicates, it
would leave the impression that
the Wet Namese government
served merely as a United States
puppet.
The second involves a form of
goth century diplomatic double
talk.
Under the terms of the 1854
Geneva accord which brought Wet
Nam independence from France
and resulted in the establishment
Of Communist government in
North Wet Nam, all parties agreed
to refrain from the introduction
of additional arms.
Both sides have ignored the
arms ban. but nobody has admit
ted anything officially, apparently
on the premise that if it isn't ad-
mitted, it isn't happening.
Reports of Deaths
From time to time, to be sure,
there are reports of men killed in
action against the Communist Wet
Cong, Once in awhile high rank
ing Pentagon official will de-
scribe progress in the war in
vague, general terms.
The United States is in South
Wet Nam to halt the spread of.
communism through what Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
calls wars of liberation" In this
effort it is allied with the South
Wet Namese government headed
by President Ngo Dinh Diem.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-11

BY Western standards, President
Diem is by no means an ideal ally.
Considerable evidence indicates
that he operates a ruthless police
state, but it must be borne in mind
that Wet Nam is historically des-
potiSm.
Whether Mr.. Diem'S police state
is also a corrupt one is a matter
of vigorous dispute. The United
States Agency for international
Development has sent two of its
top investigators to the South
Wet Namese capital at Saigon to
find out how local officials dis
tributed several hundred thou
sand dollars worth Of United
States aid.
Much United States aid is de-
signed to help the peasant i'm
prove his lot. A responsible Amer
lean correspondent writes on this
subject:
No Opposition Allowed
Corruption on a local scale Is
so widespread that often the
farmers get the benefit of such
programs only by paying rake-off
to the rural bureaucrats. The pal
ace is deeply concerned about the
situation and is Enthusiastically,
I believe-to weed out the small
fry demagogues. Scores of ar
rests are reported each week. But

visit the graves of their relatives
in East Germany. But they could
not visit members of their family
living in the eastern sector out
side Berlin. After the death Of
Stain, there was a short breath
er. West Berliners could go into
East Germany more easily, to see
family as we'll as honor graves.
But the police state soon began
to close in again. And since 1854,
West Berliners have not been al
lowed to spend the night in East
Berlin.
Before the wall went up. some
10000 East Berliners crossed into
West Berlin every day to work.
This included everything from
teachers to prostitutes. There was
family visiting back and fort h
during the day. Since August 10.
1861, the Communists have pro-
hibited every form of communica-
ton, except mail and certain Of
ficial contacts, between the two
sectors Of the sprawling city.
School Tragedy
The tragedy of this broken city
is felt daily at the Ernst Reuter-
School. Located in the working
class district of Wedding, the
school would look like any other
if it didn't back up to a street
bordering the sinister wall. WED
ding, incidentally, was known as
Red Wedding before the wall be-
cause of it's strong Communist
tinge. Since last year, it has
voted solidly anti-CommunistO

There are two possible out
lets for news on the war in Wet
Nam: Washington and Saigon.
A newsman has little luck get
ting a clear picture from either
source. Ever worse, the guarded
statements made "unOfficially"
in Washington frequently con-
flict with reports from news
paper correspondents in Asia.

BERLIN. - THE Berlin wall
is bad for international relations,
but it is worse for family rela-
tions." This is now an eminent
social worker sums up life in
city where father is separated
from son, teacher from student,
worker from factory and buyer
from seller. 1t is difficult, If not
impossible, to measure the emo
tional impact of the Berlin wall
on people who must live be-
tween the pressures of fury and
despair.
That people risk their lives
daily to flee Communist East Ber-
lin should tell us something. We
should feel something when we
read that 81 million people had
fled Eastern Germany, most of
them using the Berlin escape route
before it was sealed off by the
wall year ago last August. Since
the Communists erected a wall Is
miles through the heart of Berlin,
at least 100 people have died at
tempting the dash for freedom.
Another 1920 have made it to
the West as refugees after facing
breathtaking danger. These sta
tistics should tell us something.
But they don't give US the story.
Millions of families have been
torn apart and no amount of
weeping and wailing can bring
them together. The individual is
helpless in face of the wall, and
he feels helpless. He has begun
to feel hopeless. And this is
worse.
Chronology Of Despair
The chronology Of despair in
Berlin goes something like this.
In 1852, telephone communica-
tions between the two sectors Of
the city were cut by the Com
munist regime of East Germany.
West Berliners were permitted to

British Tighten Security Checks
After Shock of the Vassa|| Affair

was found he had booked to fly
to Rome on September Is - he
had a fondness for trips abroad
he was arrested. That was on
September IL. He carried a brief
case with more secret documents.
He confessed. He had no politi-
cal affiliation and no sympathy
with communism. The son of a
Church of England clergyman
liked the high living, that Rus
sian money could provide. That
was the downfall of several others
who have sold State secrets to
the Russians in recent years.
Checking Tex Returns
1t seems probable that from
now on the British Civil servants
will have their way of life closely
compared with their income tax
returns, if they are employed in
any sensitive area of the govern
ment.
There are demands also that
the Foreign Secretary should re
quest" the Russians to reduce the
number of their Embassy staff in
Britain. There are still IS, al
though the head Of the spy ring
slipped out two weeks before Vas
sail was tried.
Since 1853 over Is Iron Curtain
diplomats have been deported for
subversive activities. Security
chiefs think that is proof of their
efficiency as they have a smaller
staff than Belgium for counter
espionage.
Admiralty Criticized
The Admiralty's own security
measures however, have come I'M
der the strongest criticism espe-
cially as the authorities were
warned that these were lax by
the Lord Radcliffe commission
18 months ago.
There is now some backing for
the same close checking Of Gov
eminent employees that is stand
ard in the United States, not with
standing the cries of witch
hunting" that this may raise.
What the Prime Minister is eX-
pected to be called upon to prom
Use is more money for the Sc
curity activities and tighter con-
trolls all round.
Macmillan's Ministers, who are
under fire, certainly failed to act
on the warnings in the Radcliffe
report, which stressed that the
most dangerous type Of spy was
the man who may turn traitor for
psychological reason and slip "un-
detected through the personnel Sc
curity system" and there should
not be a "once-for- all clearance. u
and special precautions should be
made to prevent the copying OF
secret documents.
There will also be calls here
for a closer watch on attempts by
Communists to penetrate the so
civil service unions and staff as
sociations who have members in
government offices.
But recent spies seem to have
been more actuated by cupidity
than by Communist theology.

Steel Pickup
Is Expected

NEW YORK. Aug. CAP) -
A 10 to Is per cent pickup in
steel production and shipments
is expected this month. the

trade publication said the rate
Of shipments for August is
estimated at SIS per cent OF
capacity which it called mot
enough to raise any feelings of

This means continued tough
going for the steel producers, 3"

standpoint Of prices, earnings
and competition.

putting on pressure for quality
concessions and the weak
