Friendly Environment

Experts on guerrilla warfare like to
quote the Chinese Communist mas
ter of the art, Mao Tse-tung, who
once said that guerrillas are like the
fish and the people like the water.
The people must provide a friendly
environment or the fish cannot live.
In Wet Nam one side need not de-
feat the other in pitched battles in
order to win. Victory can go to the
side that wins over the mass of the
people.
Another encouraging sign is that
the government troops are using
American help more willingly and
more skillfully.
An American Marine Corps colonel
in the rich delta country in the south
of Wet Nam reported to Admiral An
derson that when he first came, he
was supposed to help two Wet Nam
divisions by ferrying troops in hell
copters in raids against the Commu-
niStS. The local commanders seemed
dubious about the value of the chop
perS, however, and didn't use them
much.
Now reported the colonel, they are
calling on him regularly, and a third
division nearby is getting as much
helicopter aid as it can squeeze out.
These signs Of progress explain the
new optimism over Wet Nam. But
with the word optimism" top officials
always put the word cautious" No
one expects the Communists to take

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug
20. - Topic A in the Nixon
Brown campaign for the gover-
norship of California is the
television debate.
The television debate is by
now a fixture of the American
political scene. To refuse to
participate is to show the white
feather. And yet to participate,
is, as Richard M. Nixon knows
better than any man, to risk
all in a half-hour under the
Kleig lights.
Mr.. Nixon issued the chal-
lenge to his incumbent rival
last June. After some thought,
Gov. Brown agreed.
The matter is now in rego-
tiations only slightly less secret
than the Rusk- -Dobrynin talks
on Berlin.
Gov. Brown is being repre-
sented in these momentous
meetings, by one of his bright
est braintrusters, a Los Angeles

Spreading Optimism

This cautious optimism" has
spread lately among the American
officials who started the extra push"
last winter to keep this wavering
country from falling behind the Iron
Curtain.
1t has been reflected in views ex-
pressed by men such as Secretary of
Defense Mcnamara, returning from
the latest Honolulu conference on
Wet Nam, and Admiral George w.
Anderson, chief of naval operations,
just back from an Asian inspection
tour
These views are based on progress
reports-by men like this captain
on the first phase Of the new counter
offensive in Wet Nam.
The Americans working in the hin
terlands Of Wet Nam say the Com
munistS are being pushed back.
The conclusion Of top military and
civilian officials on the scene is that
the war Of covert aggression in Wet
Nam can be won by the anti-Com-
munistS.
1t should be emphasized that they
say "can." No one says victory is
sure.
No one knows what the Commu-
nistS will do next. No one can guar
antee that the Wet Namese govern
ment will remain stable and will do
enough of the right things to carry
the job through for the many years
it probably will take.
But at least the job no longer looks
impossible to the men who are do

After an unusually cool, dry

to assignment of markets OF
effecting prices.
The second amendment would
provide that, if after a patent
has been in effect for three
years the Government finds the
price to druggists is 500 per
cent or more of the factory
cost including research, it could
require the patent-holder to
license its use to other qualified
applicants upon payment of a
rayalty of up to 8 per cent.
The provisions of the bill as
reported would:
Require the Food and Drug
Administration to pass on both

that drugs are not only safe
but will do what is claimed for
them"
The Senators acted as the
House Commerce Committee
continued hearings on the same
subject.
The Senators acted as the
House Commerce Committee
heard a spokesman for the
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
Association ask for stronger
Government regulation of the
industry. At the same time, the
witness warned that the new
rules should be carefully drawn
so they do not cut off the flow
of beneficial new drugs.
Two Goals Cited
Senator Kefauver said the
bill passed by the Senate group
will accomplish two of the three
goals he had in mind when he
introduced the original bill in
April, 1861, namely, safer drugs
and better information to doc
tors.
His third objective was lower
prices.
The Senator said some pro-
visions of this bill will operate
to reduce the prices of non
patented medicine, such as the
authority of the Government to
establish simple generic names
for such drugs.
But he pointed out that sc
per cent of the medicines in use
are patented and the new bill
as it came from committee will
not bring down those prices.
Amendments Planned
Senator Kefauver plans, how
ever. to offer two amendments
in the Senate to control prices
of patented drugs.
One amendment would re-
quire a company to file with its
patent any agreements relating

Cuba Prisoner
Deal Rumored
Drug, Food Swap
By Donovan Seen
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Staff Writer

Reports today swept Cuban
refugee communities in Wash
ington, New York and Miami
that the attorney who negoti-
ated the release of U-2 Pilot
Francis Gary Powers is now on
the verge of engineering a
trade Of food and medicine for
more than 1,100 Cuban inva-
sion prisoners.
The attorney, James B. Dom
ovan, refused to confirm or
deny rumorS that freeing of
the prisoners is imminent. He
previously had acknowledged
that he has been in touch with
Fidel Castro's government and.
if necessary. will go to Havana
to enter into direct negotia-
tions.
The situation has become
steadily worse for the prisoners
still held since the abortive in
vasion last year. One recently
released man looked as if he
had come out of q wartime
concentration camp.
Humanitarian Appeals
Mr.. Donovan's approach to
the Cuban government has
been based on humanitarian
appeals. He has made the point
that he wants to see what can
be done by the American peo-
pie to help the Cuban people
That's why the approach has
been an offer of food, med
icine and other essentials des-
perately needed by all the
Cuban people. Earlier ap-
proaches dealt first with trac-
tors and then with cash tc

Mr.. Donovan is general coun-

The government should be able to

As they expand, more and more
Of the Wet Namese people living in
those zones have an inducement to
shift their loyalty from the Wet Cong

forces say they are shifting their
allegiance.
Its not just the fact that the peo-
pie are starting to be friendly with
us" one Of these advisers said.
They're starting to help US, too.
"The key to the military operation
here is intelligence. The villagers
know everything that the Wet Cong
is doing in this province. II they
tell us, then we can stop the Com

Intelligence gathering remains q
major problem, but some useful in
telligence is coming in. Government

depend on information gathered from
people whom the Communists thought
would keep their location a secret.

Alexandria police today said
they are convinced that two
7-year-old girls. missing since
5 pm. yesterday from their
homes in the Brookville area,
were lured into a car by a
man and taken away.
This theory, which grew in
intensity as the hours length

come out. The dogs found
nothing.
Fears for the safety Of the
girls increased this morning
when one Of the searchers found
a cardboard backed receipt book
in the middle Of Holmes Run
parkway with what appeared to
be bloodstains on it. Granville

police for examination.
Suitcase Found
Police also said they found a
suitcase containing some clothes
in the wooded area near the
apartments where the missing
girls lived, but were unable to
connect the articles with the
case.
The missing girls are: Maria
Teresa Morley. daughter of Mr..

Maj. and Mrs. Arthur S. Ohl-

search for the girls in the
Brookville area, Fairfax County
police began searching along

have been abducted.

The searching force increased
