And We Can Feel Better That the Coup
Succeeded Because We Weren't Init
ARTHUR HOPPE

I'm sorry. I take it all back.
I thought our leaders in
Washington had a hand in
that military coup in South
Wet Nam. Mainly because
I they'd been S yin g for
months they sure would like
a military coup in South Wet
Nam.
But it turns out they didn't
have a thing to do with it.
They didn't even have the
faintest idea the coup was
coming. Not an inkling. And
for that We have our Govern
ment's solemn word. I'm sure
it makes US all feel much
better.
Moreover, it speaks highly
for the professional soldierly
qualities of our $500 mill
tary a dvisers out there in
South Wet Nam. They Just
did their duty to a man. And
kept their mouths shut.
For example, take our mil
itary advisers with the 7th
Wet Namese Division. Which,
as you know, climbed out of
its trenches in the Mekong
Delta and marched 80 miles
north to Saigon to help over
throw President Diem. Now
it's hard to believe our mill
tary advisers merely waved
goodby to them without

NATOGroupApproves
Joint NucIeor Force

PARIS. Nov. 9 (AP).-Mem.
bers of Parliament from both
sides Of the Atlantic gave quail
flied approval yesterday to pro-
posals for a multinational nu-
clear force under the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Delegates to the ninth an
nual NATO Parliamentar1ans
conference sidestepped a def
mite position on the controver-
sial multilateral force with the
observation that this is mostly
a political question for decision
on a governmental level.
But, in approving a recon-
mendation from the conference
military affairs committee, the
delegates called for the oc-or-
dination of nuclear resources
and said NATO should evolve a
system of joint political control
of existing nuclear weapons.
Delegates said existing pro-
posals should be further de-
veloped to enable all member
nations to have real participa-
ton in the full strategy of the
alliance" including the nuclear
arsenal.
They also said additional nu-
clear armament should be CIV
en- to the supreme allied COM
mander in Europe, Gen. Lyman
L. Lemnitzer. The multilateral
force is d sig NJ ed to achieve
that purpose too.
Approval of this recommen-
dalton and several others
wound up the conference agen-
da. The parliamentarians will
next meet here toward the end
of 1864, but henceforth plan to
meet twice a year, every spring
in North America and every
autumn in Europe.
Other recommendations ap-
proved by the delegates said:
/. NATO powers should esta-
blish a high level strate giC

as a whole on the political as

Senators to Ask
Korth for Dutu
On Bank Bonus
BY the Associated Press

Resigned Navy Secretary
Fred Korth is to be asked by
Senate probers about a $4,000
bonus he repeatedly received
from a Texas bank just before
he left its presidency to take
the Pentagon post.
The disclosure came as the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee sought to turn up back
ground in its study of why the
huge Tx warplane contract
went to General Dynamic
Corps Fort Worth, Tex, divi-
sion, the high bidder.
The uniformed military hac
found earlier that a rival de-
sign for the experimental
fighter by the Boeing Co. Of
Seattle, Wash, promised q
cheaper, better version.
Committee sources said yes.
terday that records of the Con-
tinental National Bank of Fort
Worth voted Mr.. Korth a
$4,000 bonus in December OF
1861 shortly before he resigned
as president. Bank records are
said to describe the bonus as
payment for services to the
bank.
General Dynamics was one
of the banks patrons.
Mr.. Korth declined comment
on the reported bonus, saying
it would be inappropriate to do
so until he appears before the
committee.
The Tx hearings are sched-
uled to resume within the next
few weeks.

Picketing Stops
In STU Dispute

CHICAGO. Nov. 9 (AP).-
Labor leaders have decided to
stop picketing Canadian ships
that have been tied up at Great
Lakes ports a week.
The announcement followed
conferences yesterday between
Jules Serot an attorney for
the National Labor Relations
Board from Washington, and
Irving Friedman. lawyer for
the Great Lakes district Of
the Seafarers international
Union and Local 10 of the
international Longshoremen's
Association.
The union said its decision
to stop picketing covers all YES
sells that have been idle except
freignters of Upper Lakes Ship
ping, Ltd, which have been
trying to take on a cargo of
wheat in Chicago for more
than six months.
Mr.. Serot said ships Of two
other companies involved in
the tieup will be loaded or I'M
loaded without interference.
The NLRB has been investi-
eating complaints of unfair
labor practices against the
STU.
The STU began picketing a
week ago in a protest against
the Canadian governments ac-
ton in placing the STU and
other Canadian maritime I'M
ions under a truSteeShip.
Al Tanner, maritime trades
co-ordinator for the Great
Lakes, said the picketing is be-
ing withdrawn, pending dis
cusSion of all aspects of the
dispute and establishment OF
policies for further action at
the national convention of the

Department, which begins Mon

PARASITIC tragic deVel-

prospect Of deteriorating

may lead the French govern
ment to intensity its at

This, it Is realized in Paris,

Of "duplicity" on the part of
President de Gaulle and lead
to increased outcries against
the free-wh e cling French
chief of state.
But so far, Gen. de Gaulle
has not been deferred by Bit
ter criticism of his policies by
official and unofficial Wash
ington. French political lead
ers of the past, such as
Pierre Mendes-France, fol-
lowed the American stand on
Communist China as part of
the policy of "All for one and
one for all" After the Diem
Bien Phu dis aster in 1854
there was no other bone of
contention between France
and China than Peking's I'M
ity of purpose with Moscow.
The Gaullist administra-
ton does not see in the pres
ent Moscow-Peking dissen-
sions an theological rift but
merely a quarrel between
Nikita Khrushchev and Mao
TSe-tung.
Gen. de Gaulle, who is
convinced that Europe must
become a strong third force
between the two supermili-
tary powers, Russia and
America, feels that it would
be advisable to throw Frances
weight behind the Chinese,
at this time at least. Gen. de
