ly cut off military and economic
aid to Haiti and reduced the
United States embassy there to
a skeleton staff.
These officials believe that at
least part of the present Du-
Waller strategy is to break out
of that diplomatic isolation by
toning down his anti-Ameri-
canism. They say that a weak
invasion easily suppressed by the
Duvalier government gives him
a perfect opportunity.
It seems to make his govern
ment appear stronger than it
is and at the same time gives
the Haitian dictator the luxury
of appearing restrained against
his foreign opponents.

The United States is scrupu-
lousy maintaining a hands-off
policy toward the confused
Haitian situation.
This measured correctness is
partly due to admitted ignor-
ance of what is actually hap
pening in the isolated north
where rebels claim they moved
in this week.
But it is also due to a healthy
suspicion in official quarters
here that nothing more than a
"press release war" is taking
place at the moment.
Furthermore, administration
officials are not anxious to be
identified with another flop in
the campaign to get rid of Hal
tan Dictator Francois DIVA
lier. They recall the United
States was blamed for the fall
ure to Gust DR.. Duvalier last
May when he illegally extended
his term Of office and troops
of the neighboring Dominican
Republic threatening to invade.
Therefore, everything has
moved in low gear here this
time. Every State Department
reference to invasion activities
under former Gen. Leon Can
tave is qualified with condi-
tional termS-such as might
have taken place. or reported
military activities"
Only preliminary contacts
with the exile "co- ordinators''
behind the invasion have been
established here - and these
for the first time this week
after the invasion. State De-
partment officials are under
stood to have answered rebel
feelers with a firm statement
that United States recognition
and support of any provisional
government is additionally
dependent upon that govern
ment being in control of the
country.
The contrast with the April
May crisis over Haiti is strik-
ing. At that point the United
States actively tried to hasten
DR.. Duvalier's overthrow.
The Haitian dictator and
Dominican President Juan
Bosch were hurting charges at
one another, open murders
were taking place on the
streets Of the Haitian capital,
Port = au Prince, DR.. Duvalier
was screaming about noun
tains Of white corpses" if he
were 0verthrown, and a
United States task force was
deployed just off the Haitian
coast.
Plans were afoot in the Or
ganization of American States
to set up a shadow admins
tration" q Ia the Congo,
should the Duvalier govern
#ment suddenly disappear and
chaos reign. An GAS investi-
eating commission was hur-
riedly set UP to help maintain
the peace.
This time that same GAS
investigating commission has
been brought back into play,
but the committee members
are not quite sure what they
are supposed to do, Yester-
day they contented themselves
with calling in the Haitian Am
bassador and requesting more
precise information on how the
Dominican Republican is sup
posed to be behind the rebel
invasion.
For his part, Dominican
President Bosch has done al
most nothing in public. What
ever support he has given has
been kept secret this time.

Haiti Invasion
Stalls for Lack
Of Support

The anti-Duvalier invasion
of Haiti appears to have run
out Of gas because the people
of the Negro republic failed
to rally to support of the tiny
attacking force. Washington
sources said today.
1t is not so much that the
troops under rebel Gen. Leon
Cantave suffered a military de-
feat, authoritative sources said,
as the fact that he was not
reinforced from the outside or
joined by other dissidents in
side Haiti after the invasion.
Conflicting claims continued
to come in from both sides to-
day about the real situation
but the State Department ad-
mitted it is in the dark as
to the true status in the
northeast Haiti battle zone.
Cap Haitien Is Key
Associated Press reporter
Robert Berrellez in Port al
Prince said in a censored dis
patch that President Francois
Duvalier's government claims
to have crushed the invasion
by the exiles. Spokesman for
the insurrection, however, con-
tinued to insist that the in
vaders are continuing Their
advance from the Dominican
border toward the west coast
town Of Gonaives.
The opinion in Washington
is that the key to the fluid
situation lies at Cap Haitien
second largest city in Haiti and
nearest large population center
to the invasion launched early
Monday across the Dominican
border by the exiles. If Car
Haitien had fallen to the rebels
IAN event they would have an
nounced with speed If the city
had been taken-the invasion
might have a good chance OF
topping the dictatorship OF
DR.. Duvalier.
The fact that the rebels
themselves admit passing UP
Cap Haitien indicates the in
vaders have lost their Roadway
sources here said.
Information reaching Wash
ington seems to indicate the
rebels have dispersed into the
mountains Of northern Haiti
although there has been nr
real military victory by the
Duvalierists.
Other Washington reports
indicate the rebel force was
much smaller than at first
believed and that, although
some Haitians detected to join
them, their total number is
still less than 500 men.
Claims Confusing
A State Department official
said the Haitian governments
claims Of defeating the invaders
in battle Monday was confus-
ing because the regime did not
declare the area a war zone
until Tuesday.
Haitian Information Minister
George j. Figaro said in q
communique that Duvalier's
troops had crushed the invasion
after several hours of fighting
in North Haiti Monday. He
claimed the rebels, led by Gen.
Cantave, a former chief of staff,
had been driven into the neigh
boring Dominican Republic.
The communique said "a
state of good order prevails"
throughout Haiti.

De GouIIe's Naturalization Proposal
Viewed as q Presumption of Failure

was his reaction to the as
Sassination attempts which
began in 1857. AS opposition
mounted, Mr.. Diem tended to
pull into his family circle
and to run his government
as more of a conspiracy than
a national effort.
The loss Of his luster
prompted local factions to
seek CHA help from the
United States toward effect
ing an overthrow. But none
of these opposition leaders
showed great alternative
promise. The perils of CHA
coups in the region had been
demonstrated in the abortive
effort a against Indonesia'S
President Sukarno In 1858.
Anxious to stir native initia-
tive against the Wet Cong;
the United States shrank
from the covert intervention
that would mark a new re-
gime with the puppet tag.
An important opportunity
to eliminate the controversial
brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, was
missed, in the view of some
experts, in the winter Of
1861. The guerrillas were
pressing and the Diem gov
eminent badly needed a new
tender of assistance from
President Kennedy. Some be-
lieve that stiff negotiations
before Vice President john
son arrived in Saigon with
his pledge of support might
have induced Mr.. Diem to
agree to take steps that
would have gained him
broader acceptance among
his people.
But the moment did not
seem in Washington to be
opportune for this sort Of

had been penalized for this,
repeated the same offenSe
not long afterwards.
The speculation in that
case turned toward various
alterations. Were there not
days or hours when some
thought might have been
given to the payment Of
ones income taxes? Medical
experts say that sometimes q
kind Of blind spot or delu-
sion arises with respect to a
single subject, and the indi-
vidual himself seems help
less to evaluate it or to over
come it.
Whatever be the quirks of
mind that produce cratic
acts, even as normal lives are
pursued in every other re-
Spect, the fact remains that
the law has to deal on a par
ity with the prominent, as
we'll as the inconspicuous citi-
zens in the community, as an
example to others. A society
governed by law has to mete
out its punishment unless, to
be sure, a board Of psychia-
triSts com m e n d IS some
other course to the court. The
attorney for Mr.. Lands was
asked by the Judge whether
he felt that the defendant
was mentally competent to
stand trial, and the lawyer
answered in the affirmative.
Sometimes the prison SEN
tence, however brief, consti-
tutes a shock which in itself
is a helpful factor in bring
ing about a substantial
change in attitude on the
part Of the afflicted indi-
vidual. But more often 1t is
a willingness to submit to
and rely on a power Of guild
ance stronger than ones self
which brings about the mir
acle. Many a businessman
finds now and then among
his employees a case which
has defied the efforts Of both
psychiatrists and clergymen,
but sympathetic friends, in
spired by a spiritual feeling
and dedicated purpose, have
managed somehow to help
an unfortunate individual TO
reconquer himself.
This correspondent had a
casual acquaintance many
years ago with Mr.. Lands in

often differed with his views

against intervening In Laos

ority problem was to avert
a collapse of resistance in the
region. The odds were not
promising, but the best course
appeared to be a strong bet

shortcomings.
One feature Of this des-
perate effort was an essen
tial determination to empha-
size the positive features Of

particularly Mr.. Diem's un-

came advocates of the re-.

puted the critical findings Of

The hope was that the
momentum Of the mounting

faction derived from sue

would run ahead Of the poli-
tical unrest and sustain the

CHARLES BARTLETT

The cold reception to
President de Gaulle's inter-
ceSSion In the Vietnamese
crisis reflects this Govern
ment's firm refusal to con-
cede that it is confronted, as
the French were between
1916 and 1854, with a bleak
deterioration of its pros
poets in Southeast Asia.
The French have long
maintained as a consequence
Of their own bitter expert
ence that the American pol
icy in South Wet Nam was
futile. The employment Of
the present crisis to propose a
neutralized unification is
deemed both a wiStful sum-
moning of French influence
and a new phase of Gen. de
Gaulle's delight at exacer-
batting President Kennedy's
problems.
Just as the 1854 Geneva
agreements signed by the
French after their defeat at
Bien Diem Phu inevitably
would have led to Commu-
mist control Of all Wet Nam
If the United States had not
backed the emergence of
President Ngo Dinh Diem, a
withdrawal now would point
forbiddingly to the same
prospect. The Kennedy ad-
ministration is strongly COM
mitted to a thesis that neu-
tralism in Southeast Asia
will not suffice against the
Communists.
The French did learn the
lesson that an unpopular
government bearing the onus
of colonialism cannot be sus-
tanned by military force in
the area, and the implica-
tons of this lesson have been
clear to the United States.
The constant and increasing
problem has been to main
tain the line between sup
porting and dominating the
anti Communist forces in
South Wet Nam.

But what was the habit"
to which the Judge referred?
Newsmen later wrote that
they had learned thai 1t was
not narcotics or drugs At
one point Judge Ryan in his
comments in court had said:
THE probation report also
shows that he (the defend
anti is receiving for some
period of time pSychiatric

emotionally involved as far
back as 1945."
Mr.. Lands had been
brought to court from the

for several weeks. When
asked by the Judge to make
any statement he wished,
Mr.. Lands replied:
