La mission
secrète à
Hanoi de
deux Français

WASHINGTON. — L'interruption des contacts directs entre Américains et Nord-Vietnamiens, qui s'étaient déroulés à Moscou au début de 1967, a été à l'origine d'une mission secrète à Hanoi confiée à deux Français, le professeur Herbert Marcovich et M. Raymond Aubrac, apprend-on d'une source proche du président Johnson.

Le choix de ces deux intermédiaires avait été fait par le professeur Henri Kissinger, de l'Université de Harvard, ami du Dr Marcovich.

La mission de MM. Markovich et Aubrac devait être à l'origine des événements qui viennent de se dérouler et qui ont ouvert la voie à de nouveaux contacts directs américaino-nord-vietnamiens, pour la première fois officiels et non plus secrets, qui pourraient déboucher sur des pourparlers de paix.

Le « fil » Marcovich-Aubrac n'a pas été, déclare-t-on de source proche du président, le seul utilisé pendant ces derniers mois. Mais il a été le premier qui ait permis la reprise du dialogue entre les deux belligérants.

‘Mystery Man’ of Viet War
Diplomacy to Speak at MC

NEW CONCORD — Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, described in the past recently as "a mystery man in Vietnam diplomacy," will speak at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, in Brown Chapel at Muskingum College. This will be the final program of this season's Artist-Lecture Series at the college.

Dr. Kissinger, a Harvard University professor is known to have played a significant undercover role in transmitting two peace proposals from President Johnson to the North Vietnamese.

A consultant to the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, he has participated in a number of delegate diplomatic maneuvers during the past three years. The culmination came in Hanoi's recent announcement that it was willing to talk with U.S. negotiators.

Press reports this month indicate that Prof. Kissinger worked with two Frenchmen — one a microbiologist, the other an old friend of Ho Chi Minh — in making contact with the North Vietnamese last summer and again in January of this year. Their presence in Hanoi was unknown to the world at that time, and had been unreported until this month.

Yet it was their mission that initiated a new phase of diplomacy in the Johnson administration's secret search for peace in Vietnam.

A month after their visit to Hanoi, the Frenchmen — working with Prof. Kissinger — delivered to North Vietnam the first version of an American peace proposal that was more conciliatory than any made before.

The Frenchmen involved in the discussions were said to be Dr. Herbert Marcovich, 47, a University of Paris microbiologist, and Raymond Aubrac, 53, a director of the Food and Agricultural Organization, a UN agency based in Rome. Kissinger was the administration's link to the Frenchmen.

Prof. Kissinger and Mr. Aubrac have repeatedly refused to confirm or deny published reports about their roles in the negotiations, but his speech at Muskingum College is expected to refer to the Vietnamese situation. His subject will be "A New Approach to International Relations."

The program will be open to the public without charge.

Rockefeller Hires
Political Staffers

NEW YORK (AP)—Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has hired Emmet John Hughes, the writer and political strategist, and three other advisers to help him formulate positions on national and international issues.

The move announced in a statement Tuesday was viewed by many political observers as accenting Rockefeller's availability for the Republican presidential nomination.

Rockefeller announced March 21 that he would not be an active candidate for the GOP nomination but said that he would accept a draft if one developed and meanwhile would speak out on the issues.

In the statement issued by his office, the governor said he is preparing to state his policies on foreign and domestic problems confronting the United States.

In addition to Hughes, those named to advise him were Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute and Oscar Reubhausen, a New York City lawyer.

A staff member said Rockefeller would discuss either the Vietnam war or the racial crisis in the cities in "a major speech" being prepared for a television appearance before the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington April 18.

Hughes was a member of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's staff in 1952, 1953 and 1955.

# Rocky Names '4-Man Team

*(Continued from page 2)*

would not accept renomination has strengthened the demands of some that Rocky reconsider.

Rocky was careful to couch his announcement tonight in the phrases of a nonactive but concerned politician, He said:

"Our nation is enduring, as I said a fortnight ago, 'a time of crisis and confusion probably without parallel in our history.'

"The tragic events of recent days make this obvious truth more plain than ever. This truth imposes upon every American, and especially everyone in public life, a special duty to know his responsibility and to speak his mind.

"I have promised to make known my own position on the great national and international issues before us. As a citizen, as a governor and as head of the policy committee of the Republican Governors Association, this is my duty and my commitment."

## Credited With Ike's Slogan

The governor is to make a "major speech" April 18 on either the racial crisis at home or the Vietnam war. His forum will be a well publicized one: A meeting in Washington of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

Hughes, whose speech-writing talents could be important to Rocky at that time, is credited with originating the "I will go to Korea" slogan rated as a big boost in Eisenhower's winning of the White House in 1950. Hughes worked directly for Ike intermittently from 1952 to 1956. He was a senior public-affairs adviser to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund from 1960 to 1963. He now writes a column for Newsweek.

Kissinger, of Harvard's Center for International Affairs, also has served the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and has advised the National Security Council and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Last summer, on softening their terms for a start of peace negotiations with North Vietnam, Johnson Administration officials reportedly got in touch with Kissinger.

He is said to have contacted a French scientist who in turn reportedly contacted a French official of the United Nations. The UN aide then reportedly contacted North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, an old friend from Ho's student days in Paris.

# Rocky Acts To Shape His Stand

NEW YORK (AP)—Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller announced Tuesday that he is assembling a staff of advisers and researchers to help him formulate positions on the “great national and international issues before us.”

In a statement issued by his office, the governor said “other expert advisers in specific fields” will be brought into the staff.

## Those Chosen

The governor named Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, Dr. Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute, Oscar Reubhausen, a New York City lawyer, and John Emmett Hughes, widely known writer, as advisers.

Rockefeller announced March 21 that he would not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for President. He said, however:

'I have said that I stood ready to answer to any true and meaningful call from the Republican Party to serve it and the nation. I still so stand. I would be derelict or uncan-did were I to say otherwise.'

## Reason Noted

Up to now, the governor has refrained from speaking out on domestic and foreign problems because to do so, he said, might create the impression that he was a presidential candidate.

A member of his staff said that a major speech is being prepared for his appearance before the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington, April 18. He said it would discuss either the war in Vietnam or the racial crisis of the cities.

Rock Gathering Expert Advisory Staff

Gov. Rockefeller announced yesterday that he is assembling a staff of advisers and researchers to help him formulate positions on the "great national and international issues before us."

He named four men and said he is preparing to state his policies on foreign and domestic problems confronting the United States.

In a statement issued by his office, the governor said "other expert advisers in specific fields" will be brought int the staff.

The four named were Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, Dr. Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute, Oscar Reubhasen, a Manhattan lawyer, and John Emmett Hughes, widely-known writer.

Rockefeller announced March 21 that he would not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. He said, however:

"I have said that I stood ready to answer to any true and meaningful call from the Republican party to serve it and the nation. I still so stand. I would be derelict or uncandid were I to say otherwise."

Up to now, the governor has refrained from speaking out on domestic and foreign problems because to do so, he said, might create the impression that he was a pres-

idential candidate. In his statement yesterday, he said:

"Our nation is enduring . . . as I said a fortnight ago . . . a time of crisis and confusion probably without parallel in our history. The tragic events of recent days makes this obvious truth more plain than ever. This truth imposes on every American . . . and especially everyone in public life . . . a special responsibility to know his responsibility and to speak his mind.

"I have promised to make known . . . to state clearly and fully . . . my own positions on the great national and international issues before us. As a citizen, as a governor, and as the head of the policy committee of the Republican Governors Association, this is my duty and my commitment."

The governor was in Atlanta attending the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when his statement was issued.

A member of his staff said, however, that "a major speech" is being prepared for his appearance before the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington, April 18.

He said it would discuss either the war in Vietnam or the racial crises of the cities. A final decision has not been made, the source said.

Mystery Man In Hanoi

A MYSTERY FIGURE in the recent peace maneuver is Henry Kissinger, the 45-year-old Harvard professor who does position papers for Gov. Rockefeller, but happened to be a visitor in Hanoi at the time that Mr. Johnson announced his peace initiative. Kissinger was drawn into the dealings at the last Pugwash

conference when he met a Frenchman who had been intimately associated with Ho Chi Minh during the French occupation of Vietnam. The professor persuaded the State Department to use the Frenchman as a channel to Ho and that unusual pair apparently was instrumental in the tactics which induced Hanoi to negotiate.

Two bargain for peace

WASHINGTON,
Thursday.

Two Frenchmen arrived last July 21 in Hanoi in the unusual and secret role of emissaries of the United States Government.

Their presence in the capital of North Vietnam was unknown to the world at that time, and has not been reported until now.

Yet it was their mission that initiated a new phase of diplomacy in the Johnson administration's secret search for peace in Vietnam over the past three years. The culmination came in Hanoi's dramatic announcement yesterday that it was willing to talk with American negotiators.

## Conciliatory

A month after their visit to Hanoi, the Frenchmen—working with Professor Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University—delivered to North Vietnam the first

The Frenchmen are Dr. Herbert Marcovich, a University of Paris microbiologist, and Raymond Aubrac, a director of the Food and Agricultural Organisation.

Their channel, which involved a meeting with President Ho Chi Minh, functioned in this fashion:

Kissinger, aged 44, a government consultant on national security matters for the past 17 years, was the administration's link to the

Frenchmen. Marcovich linked Kissinger to Aubrac.

Aubrac, who had befriended Ho in Paris more than 20 years before, completed the chain from the White House to the presidential palace in Hanoi.

## Concessions

The new peace offer—which came to be known as the San Antonio Formula—transmitted to North Vietnam via Kissinger and the Frenchmen last summer, was delivered again to Hanoi in January this

year by a high Rumanian official.

It may be, however, that the January message contained even further concessions by the United States than the terms of the message delivered in August.

The plan, developed in the autumn of 1966, is known to only a few men within Washington's national security bureaucracy as "Phase A—Phase B."

Under Phase A the United States would halt the bombing of North Vietnam. To all the world it would appear as if the United States had done this unilaterally.

Actually, Phase A would not take effect until there had been a secret agreement on Phase B—a mutual de-escalation of the ground war, with the United States again making the first move.

# Johnson communiquait avec Hanoï par l'intermédiaire de deux Français

Le président Johnson a communiqué à Hanoï une version de la formule dite de San Antonio un mois avant qu'il prononce son discours le 29 septembre dernier, révèle le journal «Los Angeles Times» dans un article sous Copyright.

Selon le journal, le texte a été transmis aux autorités nord-vietnamiennes par deux Français, le docteur Herbert Marcovich, microbiologiste, professeur à l'Université de Paris, et M. Raymond Aubrac, directeur de la division liaisons de la F.A.O. (Agence de l'O.N.U. pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture, dont le siège est à Rome). Ces deux personnalités selon ce journal avaient effectué un premier voyage de sondage à Hanoï le 21 juillet en compagnie du professeur Henry Kissinger, de l'Université Harvard. Ils y sont retournés un mois plus tard, porteurs du message du président américain.

On déclare à la F.A.O. que M. Raymond Aubrac, mis au courant de l'article du «Los Angeles Times» ne désire ni démentir, ni confirmer.

Grand résistant, commissaire de la République à Marseille à la Libération, M. Raymond Aubrac connaît personnellement le président Ho Chi Minh, qu'il a rencontré notamment à Paris en 1946, lors des négociations sur l'indépendance de l'Indochine.

On confirme à Paris, dans l'entourage du docteur Herbert

Marcovich, que ce dernier s'est effectivement rendu au mois de juillet dernier à Hanoï, en compagnie de M. Raymond Aubrac et qu'il a transmis aux autorités nord-vietnamiennes un message du président Johnson :

> «Nous ne pouvons en dire davantage, car il s'est agi d'une démarche sérète» souligne-t-on de même source et l'on précise que le docteur Herbert Marcovich «Est actuellement absent de Paris pour une quinzaine de jours et qu'il est pratiquement impossible de le joindre.»

Le docteur Herbert Marcovich qui est né en 1920, est chef de laboratoire à l'Institut Pasteur et à l'Institut du Radium. Il est spécialisé dans la génétique des bactéries, les radiations ionisantes et la microbiologie.

Quoi qu'il en soit, la guerre continue. Une colonne américaine et sud-vietnamienne forte de 10.000 hommes avance vers Khe Sanh par la route numéro 9 pour tenter de dégager les 6.000 marines encerclés. Elle n'a jusqu'à présent rencontrer d'opposition notable mais il reste possible que l'adversaire, choisisant son moment, transforme en traquenard l'étroite vallée où la route serpente. D'autre part, on s'attend que chacune des armées en présence s'efforcera, dans la perspective d'une désescalade prochaine, d'occuper le plus possible de positions de force. On

observe des mouvements nord-vietnamiens en direction de Hué d'une part et vers les hauts-plateaux du Centre d'autre part. Dans la région de Saigon, les Vietcong se rapprochent de nouveau de la ville et des engagements sont signalés à quelques kilomètres seulement de l'aérodrome de Tan Son Nhut.

## Bombardements du Nord-Ouest de Hanoï

Cinquante bombes ont été lancées jeudi par l'aviation américaine sur une région peuplée à cinquante kilomètres de la capitale de la province de Lai Chao, au nord-ouest de Hanoï, a annoncé l'Agence de presse nord-vietnamienne.

L'agence ajoute que la capitale de province de Thanh Hoa, au sud de Hanoï, a été également bombardée et que cinquante bombes à fragmentation ont été lancées sur Vinh, capitale de la province de Nghe An, au sud de Hanoï. Un avion a été abattu, annonce l'agence.

Le Pentagone se refuse pour l'instant à tout commentaire sur l'annonce par Radio Hanoï que l'aviation américaine a effectué jeudi un bombardement au nord-ouest de la capitale du Nord-Vietnam.

GOP Urges U.S.

To Maintain
Military Lead

APR 30 1968

By Warren Unna

Washington Post Staff Writer

The Republican Coordinat-
ing Committee yesterday de-
clared that the United States
should maintain its military
supremacy over the Soviet
Union but at the same time
recognize that the Soviet re-
gime is here to stay and "can
be capable of constructive ac-
tion."

The election year policy
paper, one of a series, was pre-
pared by a subcommittee
headed by Robert Amory Jr.,
former deputy director of the
Central Intelligence Agency.

The Republican Coordinat-
ing Committee, consisting of
leading GOP figures, includes
an announced presidential can-
didate, Richard M. Nixon, and
a potential candidate, Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York.

"We must recognize the
hard fact that we can have lit-
tle direct leverage on the in-
ternal social-political structure
of a power as large and strong
and self-sufficient as Soviet
Russia," the policy paper de-
clares.

The Republican authors
state that while an American
pullout from South Vietnam
would be regarded by the So-
viets as "a tremendous vistory
for world communism, they al-
most certainly would have
mixed feelings about exposing
all Southeast Asia to domi-
nance by the present Chinese
Communist regime."

The authors, however, cau-
tion that should China's Mao
Tse-tung either die or be de-
posed and his successors prove

more pro-Soviet, "the current
feud between Moscow and Pe-
king could be largely com-
posed in a relatively short
time."

The rather scholarly policy
paper makes only two direct
attacks on the foreign policy
of the Democratic Administra-
tion:

1. "Our nuclear deterrence must be unequaled and unsailable, as it was during the 1950s when Republicans were in office.

2. "We must . . . devise var-
ious ways and means to ad-
vance our cause by effective
use of the special strengths
and talents of private groups,
supported by appropriate pub-
licly voted funds. The Demo-
cratic Administration's appar-
ent abandonment of the strug-
gle in this area because of re-
cent embarrassments betrays
our responsibilities as Free
World leaders."

The first criticism was anticipated repeatedly in past years when former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara assured the Nation that despite his cuts in the defense budget for efficiency the U.S. nuclear superiority remained pre-eminent.

The second criticism pre-
sumably refers to the CIA
front groups which, when ex-
posed last year, created such
embarrassment, both interna-
tionally and domestically, that
the Johnson Adminsitration
had to instruct these opinion-
influencing groups to seek
their funds in the open in the
future.

# New Acting Dean Is Named For CU Education School

Roland J. B. Goddu, director of the master of arts in teaching program at Trinity College, will become acting dean of the Catholic University School of Education in September.

Goddu's post at Trinity, a Catholic liberal arts college for women, will be filled by Edward R. Ducharme, who

John P. Whalen, CU acting, rector, removed the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Eugene Kevane as dean and replaced him with the Rev. Aubert J. Clark as acting dean.

Father Whalen said then that a committee of faculty members and outside experts would search for a new permanent dean.

The faculty will take a vote on Goddu's deanship a year after he assumes office. In the meantime, the search committee will continue scouting for other possible candidates.

Both Goddu and Ducharme have strong interests in urban education.

Goddu, 31, holds a doctorate in education from Harvard.

# GW Plans 'Traveling Trauma Teams'

By Nate Haseltine
Washington Post Staff Writer

WARRENTON, Va.—A new program in the emergency care of injured persons is being planned by the George Washington University School of Medicine, it has been announced here.

Under the plan, GW would set up “traveling trauma teams” of four professionals to make on-the-scene diagnoses and to start treatment. The move coincides with the school’s recently announced trebling of its emergency department.

It was announced by Dr. Don S. Wenger, chief of

The plan is based on the idea that it often is better to hustle physicians to the scene of an accident or disorder instead of hustling patients to hospitals. The teams would consist of a general surgeon, an anesthesiologist, a surgical nurse and a technician, Wenger said.

According to the GW proposal, a private physician would call the hospital for help in managing problems involving multiple injuries. The doctor could ask for anything urgent, from a telephone conversation to the dispatching of the full

ing to cover the costs of the team's operations and members' salaries. None of the expense of the special service would be borne by the requesting physician or by the patient, who would be billed only by the family doctor.

It was this feature that drew questioning by the participants in the forum, who asked whether the GW doctors would be accused of being ghost surgeons or even itinerant physicians, roles frowned on by theAMA.

greater demands on the Nation's overburdened medical system, pointing out that violence in the Nation's cities and on its highways means that the Nation's health system "is going to have to do a better job of getting medical care to its people."

The proposal of bringing "traveling trauma teams" to communities around Washington may be a first step in that direction. Trauma is the

# Saigon Won't Insist On Role in Paris

By Nguyen Ngoc Rao

Special to The Washington Post

SAIGON, May 4—South Vietnam will not insist in participating in the Paris talks between the United States and North Vietnam, Foreign Minister Tran Van Do said today.

The Foreign Minister added that he had instructed the South Vietnamese Consul General in Paris, Ngo Tan Canh, to “follow the situation closely and send reports to the government.” Saigon is not considering sending a special representative, he said.

A communique issued by the Foreign Ministry said that Saigon “hopes that the French government will follow the traditional policy of a third state entrusted with the good offices role and that it will be strictly impartial to both sides.”

South Vietnam severed diplomatic relations with France in 1965 after the Paris government had advocated a neutralist solution to the Vietnam War. South Vietnamese officials have expressed misgivings about French intentions ever since.

The communique underscored the general concern among official and political circles here that North Vietnam may try to take advantage of the forthcoming talks to strengthen its position at the negotiating table. “It is appropriate to remind that the Communists are used to take advantage of talks for propaganda purposes, to foster dis-

sension among the Republic of Vietnam's allies, to raise a certain number of irrelevant issues to spread out more confusion, to provoke the Democratic countries, to try to blackmail their partners in order to get a better bargaining position in the discussions,” the communique said.

In the weeks following President Johnson's March 31 peace overture, President Thieu and other ranking government officials have declared that they would never accept a coalition government with the National Liberation Front—the Vietcong. They have all vowed to continue to fight alone should the allies withdraw from here.

There has also been a general feeling of uneasiness about a possible U.S. sellout.

Tran Van Tuyen, a prominent politician not in the government, said he hoped “a ceasefire may be agreed upon before political discussions take place.” Commenting on the news of the coming talks, Ton That Dinh, chairman of the Senate’s Defense Committee said: “General mobilization must be expedited and started right away.” His views were shared by many legislators and government officials.

The House of Representatives is scheduled to debate on the general mobilization draft bill next Monday. It has unanimously voted but has divergent views on how it should be carried out.

Fear of Defections Moved Rocky
To Earlier Candidacy Announcement

NEW YORK—A major reason why Gov. Nelson Rockefeller changed his mind one month ahead of schedule and announced his candidacy yesterday was the forceful argument by one pillar of the Eastern Republican establishment: Walter Thayer.

Thayer, president of Whitney Communications Corp., put it on the line to Rockefeller. The big businessmen that Thayer and his boss, former Ambassador John Hay (Jock) Whitney, had lined up for Rockefeller were about to defect—not to Richard M. Nixon but to a Democrat, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. One liberal Republican angel, in fact, was all but lost to Humphrey.

Even though any Rockefeller campaign is largely self-financed, he could scarcely run without the big names of Eastern money. Thus, Thayer last week strengthened his pleas that the Governor could lose no more time.

Threats of imminent defection by money men were paralleled by similar ultimatums from politicians. Sens. Edward Brooke of Massachusetts and Clifford Case of New Jersey informed Rockefeller they could not wait much longer. Even Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, Rockefeller's most important and long-suffering champion, told him his patience was nearly gone. Many advised him to announce this week and thus avoid the dangers of the Republican Governors' traveling circus, beginning platform hearings Monday.

These arguments, plus reports of Rockefeller strength among orthodox Republicans, were enough to sway both the Governor and his most respected political adviser, National Committee-man George Hinman. When Hinman, a week ago, dropped his advocacy of non-candidacy, it was only a matter of time before Rocke-

Novak

Evans

feller became an active candidate.

WHAT is significant, however, is that Rockefeller's belated announcement comes principally not from mining new veins of political support, as his propagandists claim, but from the threat of fatal defections should he keep silent. His press conference statement in Albany was a tacit admission that the politics of pro-crazination had failed.

Indeed, practical politicians now running the Rockefeller-for-President operation admit that his statement of non-candidacy March 21 was a horrible mistake whose ramifications may prove fatal. Although some Rockefeller aides elevate this boner to the realm of high strategy, the political pros know he lost six weeks never to be reclaimed.

To be sure, there are enough manifestations of support to justify Rockefellers' running. The Governor was particularly impressed by some 10,000 telegrams of support from around the country last week. Several private reports from the recent Women's National Republican meeting in Washington (including one from past President Dotty Elston) indicated a friendlier attitude toward Rockefeller by the girls.

Most important was the glowing report given Rockefeller in New York Sunday by Morton and former Rep. William E. Miller after their seven-state Midwestern tour. Rockefeller, listless about politics these many months, was left in a rare mood of buoyancy after their visit.

THEIR REPORTS—particularly those from Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri—were bright. But, in truth, what Morton and Miller asked during their travels was the commodity easiest for a politician to bestow: Non-commitment.

But realists in the Rockefeller camp realize the deterioration of the past six weeks and that Nixon's lead is long. They also realize Rockefeller can afford no more mistakes such as his speech before the newspaper editors' convention in Washington April 18 written by Emmet John Hughes, the journalist turned Rockefeller staffer.

Although his political aides now advise against Hughes's doing any more speech writing. Hughes helped write yesterday's Albany statement.

# SAC Reported Set to Resume
B-52 Flights With A-Bombs

ST. LOUIS, April 30 (AP)—
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
said today that it has learned
that the Strategic Air Com-
mand plans to resume its B-52
flights carrying nuclear bombs
on July 1.

In a dispatch from Washing-
ton by Richard Dudman, the
newspaper said Gen. Joseph J.
Nazzaro, commander-in-chief
of SAC and director of the
Joint Strategic Target Plan-
ning Staff, has been telling
visitors to his headquarters at
Omaha, Neb., that the ban on
carrying nuclear weapons is
being lifted.

Robert S. McNamara, in one
of his last acts as Secretary of
Defense, reportedly ordered
the weapons removed from B-
52 flights after the Jan. 22
crash near Thule, Greenland,
of a B-52 armed with four hy-
drogen bombs. That accident
was one in a series involving
the big bombers carrying nu-
clear devices.

Dudman wrote that "it is not
clear whether the new proce-
dure expected to begin July 1
will involve an operational
alert or whether it will be con-
sidered merely a realistic
training program."

Nazzaro has given some visi-
tors the impression the flights
could serve both purposes, the
report said. The general has
described the flights as provid-
ing airborne counterattack ca-
pability in the event of an
enemy nuclear attack as well
as giving the B-52 crews train-
ing under combat conditions
with real nuclear weapons.

[Nazzaro testified Tuesday
at a closed hearing called by
the Senate's preparedness in-
vestigating subcommittee.
Asked whether B-52s would in-
deed resume carrying atomic
weapons, the SAC general re-
portedly denied that they
would. It is understood that
Nazzaro claimed he'd been
"misinterpreted." Sources
said he did not elaborate.]

Bonn Puts Blame on Dutschke Group

(Lc)

By Dan Morgan

Washington Post Foreign Service

BONN, April 17 — The government today formally blamed the radical left-wing German Socialist Student Federation (SDS) for an “organized recourse to violence” during five days of street demonstrations.

Government press spokesman Guenther Diehl said, however, that no consideration was being given yet to banning the militant student group, which has a membership of 1600 to 2500.

The government said that between 5000 and 18,000 persons had participated in the disturbances, apparently including some Communists.

Heinz Ruhnau, the Hamburg Interior Minister, said after meeting with other state officials here today that probably two-thirds of the demonstrators were nonstudents and that some were “mercenaries.”

## Photographer Dies

Associated Press photographer Klaus Frings, 33, became the first fatality of the demonstrations when he died today of a brain injury suffered Monday. He was struck on the head by a stone hurled by a demonstrator in Munich. Police have arrested one man for questioning, but no charges have been filed.

Word of Frings' death came as the federal Cabinet and the Interior Ministers of the German states were meeting in Bonn to discuss ways of dealing with future demonstrations.

An SDS spokesman in Frankfurt said the organization deeply regretted the death and added that the SDS does not advocate violence. Similar regret was voiced by more moderate student groups.

## New Threats Made

However, SDS chairman Karl-Dietrich Wolff said that “we will give no rest — the disturbances will go on — until the political consequences of our demands are drawn.”

Wolff announced there would be a renewed effort Saturday night in Esslingen to

block distribution of regional editions of the mass-circulation Bild am Sonntag, a newspaper published by the students' target, Axel Springer.

“It won't be a pretty Saturday night off in Esslingen,” he said. On Monday night a student was severely bitten by a dog during demonstrations in the town.

The SDS, which Diehl said today was “in the first rank” in organizing the violence, is an extreme radical group which advocates the replacement of parliamentary democracy in Germany. Its views are shared by few students, but its organizing talents have proven considerable.

It was the attempted assassination last Thursday of SDS ideologist Rudi Dutschke that touched off the wave of demonstrations.

## Confident of Control

Both the Cabinet and the Interior Ministers expressed confidence today that the situation could be kept in hand without resorting to special constitutional powers under Article 91, which provides for federal assistance for the states.

The extent of Communist involvement is still uncertain. Gerhard Danelius, chairman of the West Berlin Social Unity (Communist) Party (SED), has voiced open support for the “anti-fascists.” The SDS has steadfastly denied accepting funds from the SED, which is banned in West Germany but not in West Berlin.

The party newspaper Die Wahrheit is being distributed free inside the Technical University auditorium where the “extra parliamentary” opposition is meeting.

## Other Participants

Among other groups openly organizing the demonstrations are the left-wing Republican Club, and the Socialist College Federation.

Rudolf Augstein, publisher of the liberal weekly West German news magazine Der Spiegel, was listed among those who have contributed money to the SDS.

Interior Minister Ruhnau today noted an instructional

leaflet telling demonstrators to wear raincoats and bring helmets and clubs. “One can’t speak of spontaneity,” he said.

The government gave an exact figure of 575 persons arrested during the demonstrations. (All but a handful have been released.) Ready to act against rioting were 16,000 policemen.

Meanwhile, an opinion poll released today showed 84 per cent of those questioned were against the demonstrations.

There is so far no government plan for an investigation of the causes of the disturbances. Diehl said today: “The first order of business is to prevent further violence.”

Political speculation now centers on whether the demonstrations will produce a sharp swing to the right in West German politics.

## 2 Seized in New York Melee Over Springer

NEW YORK, April 17 (AP) — Fistfights broke out and two men were seized in Rockefeller Center today as youths demonstrated in support of German students who are protesting the policies of German publisher Axel Springer.

The youths burned a huge makeshift flag bearing a Nazi swastika to show their opposition to Springer, whose company has an office in Rockefeller Center.

The fighting broke out after the flag was burned and two patrolmen seized the burners.

One of the demonstrators tried to prevent the police from taking the seized youths away.

In Germany, students have

sought to block distribution of Springer's newspapers, which make up about 40 per cent of the West German daily circulation. The newspapers have been particularly critical of student protests.

# Navy to Get New, Fast Missile

By Bob Horton
Associated Press

The Navy is moving swiftly toward production of a new weapon, nicknamed the Zap missile, to bolster U.S. capabilities for beating down antiaircraft guns.

Zap is an acronym for Zero Antiaircraft Potential.

Details of the missile's planned capabilities are closely guarded but work is far enough along to permit officials to discuss its mission generally.

The Zap, sources said, will be a solid-fueled "hypervelocity" rocket that will fly at speeds around 2000 miles an hour and detonate with shattering effect over enemy flak sites.

Within two years the missile is expected to go aboard Navy fighter-bombers and may also be used by the Air Force.

Industry expectations are that production of the Zap will soar to several hundred thousand a year by about 1972, with annual spending of about $50 million.

"We will be able to just plaster the ground with this thing," one officer said.

Zap will have a conventional explosive warhead of unspecified size designed to go off just before it hits the ground with a special high-fragmentation effect.

The weapon's fantastic speed is critical to the mission. With Zap, the pilot of a 1400-mph Phantom jet, for example, will be able to launch his weapon almost point-blank at an enemy target while zooming at supersonic speeds.

At the same time, with Zap's new dispersing warhead the pilot won't have to be too concerned with precise targeting.

Zap is actually an outgrowth of another new Navy missile

under development called the Hart (hypervelocity aircraft rocket, tactical) and envisioned as a successor to the current Zuni in the early 1970s.

The Zuni, one of the Navy's

standard air-to-surface weapons, is a 9-foot long, 107-pound missile with a 5-mile range. It soars at about 1300 mph. The Navy has relied heavily on the Zuni in Vietnam, producing around 100,000 per year.

## Campaign Funds
Get IRS Attention

By Marquis Childs

United Feature Syndicate

WITH THE SQUEEZE of that fateful deadline of April 15 now past, the Internal Revenue Service is preparing to step up an investigation cutting close to some big reputations. Political spending in this political year is starting earlier, promising a bigger harvest of dollars than ever before, and the IRS is probing for the dodges by which businessmen disguise their political contributions as tax-deductible expenses.

In the television era public relations and advertising firms get millions of dollars in billings for master-minding not only national but statewide campaigns in the big-city states. Nailing down television and radio time months in advance, producing the tapes and the spot announcements, is a professional job quite beyond the old-time city hall politician.

The same PR and advertising firms handling political campaigns also have business accounts. Two years ago IRS began investigating reports that business executives with the connivance of certain PR firms were making concealed campaign contributions charged off as business expense.

Today more than 40 separate investigations are in progress and others are expected as IRS agents dig into the records of firms in California, New York and Illinois. The concealment is simple enough. The executive wants to contribute say $10,000 to Candidate X. He signs a contract for services for his company for $50,000 with the PR firm handling X's political account. The PR firm routes the

speeches on major issues
around the country.

Yesterday's maiden effort contained a detailed blueprint for a $150 billion, 10-year program to meet the urban crisis which Rockefeller blamed on the "deep confusion of our priorities and the neglect of national needs."

The specific plans, similar to programs Rockefeller has pioneered in New York, were surrounded by heavily-rhetorical exhortations to "a profound act of national commit-

ment" to meet "the crisis of
the American city . . . (and)
the crisis of the American con-
science."

Rockefeller delivered the 30-minute address with virtually no interpolations in the prepared text, reading in a flat, rather nasal tone. He received no applause from his introduction until he sat down.

The audience reaction was noted with concern by some Rockefeller for President sponsors in the room. One of them said afterwards, "I hope this convinces Emmett

Hughes (the Rockefeller adviser and writer whose stylistic touches were evident in the text) that it will take more than the power of his words to nominate Rockefeller."

The same doubts were reportedly expressed at the morning meeting of the Rockefeller for President Committee.

Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, one of the Rockefeller sponsors, said there were "gratifying" reports of support for the Governor, but added "there are some fencesitters around the country who want to hear him say he'll see it through."

The Associated Press quoted one source at the meeting as saying that seven Republican Governors have declined to back Rockefeller unless he becomes a candidate.

Michigan Gov. George Romney attended the meeting and reportedly joined in the view that Rockefeller must announce his candidacy if he hopes to defeat front-runner Richard M. Nixon.

But Romney, who is scheduled to meet Nixon in Michigan today, emphasized to reporters that "I am uncommitted."

In the meeting, he reportedly told the Rockefeller backers that would have difficulty delivering the 48 Michigan votes to Rockefeller as a bloc, even if Rockefeller were a candidate.

Rockefeller's speech to the editors skirted the issue of the Vietnam war, on which he has been silent for almost four years, but called for a reordering of national priorities to focus on domestic needs.

"Diffusing our purposes and scattering our resources without priority and without precision," he said, "we have come to seem too often a nation desperately trying at almost everything, totally triumphing at very little ..."

Rockefeller said the Federal, state and local governments could follow New York's example in the "imaginative and responsible use of credit" to provide a $150 billion fund over the next 10 years to meet the capital improvement needs of the cities.

Urging that incentives be provided for private capital to play a major role in the rebuilding of the cities, Rockefeller said government "must become not the great monolith but the great catalyst."

Rockefeller on Vietnam

On foreign policy in general and Vietnam in particular, Governor Rockefeller's hindsight is as keen as the next man's. His first big policy pronouncement as an active candidate is weakest where it seeks to put a retrospective finger on the "failures" of American policy in the postwar years. The failures he cites are, first of all, fairly obvious: the Atlantic alliance isn't what it used to be; we have been slow to perceive and exploit the evolution of the Communist world into warring blocs; we have not reacted fast enough to the dangers of poverty in the Southern half of the hemisphere; we have misused our resources and misconceived our priorities. And, finally, we have sometimes applied to Asia policies which were fine for Europe but do not necessarily fit the "drastically different circumstances of Vietnam."

So far who would argue? Nor can one dispute the Governor's more detailed critique of our methods and our approach in Vietnam—the over-Amerikanization of the effort, the inadequacy of the "pacification" program, the overemphasis on military solution. What makes this portion of Mr. Rockefeller's remarks largely irrelevant is not just the fact that his views are unexceptional. It is the fact that these views must have come to him just recently. For the Johnson Administration had no stauncher supporter than the New York Governor as it was making its way into the Vietnam War.

When he gets to the question of how to get out of the war honorably, Mr. Rockefeller is considerably more constructive and imaginative—though here again he seems to be coming in a little late. He would, for example, turn more of the war over to the South Vietnamese; de-emphasize the bigger battles on the fringe of sanctuaries; broaden the Saigon government; give pacification "more realistic objectives"; stress security for the people over control of territory. Other critics have been sounding these notes for many months and the Administration is beginning to sound some of them itself.

Where the Governor begins to break new ground is in his call for a conference of all Asian nations to work towards economic progress and political stability, and in his readiness to seek a broader Asian peace that takes into account "the legitimate interests" of the Russians and the Communist Chinese. The implication is that a final peace in Vietnam may best be found in a broader context which takes in the interest of all of Asia and all of the world's great powers.

The Governor was not very specific about this, and a lot of other points. But neither did he engage in easy answers or pat solutions. In short, his first effort is a valuable contribution to the Vietnam debate, especially on the Republican side where there has been no debate at all. Hopefully, there will be more, and more specific, contributions to come.

# Hussein, Eban
Said to Plan
London Parley

By Robert H. Estabrook

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., May 2—Amid unconfirmed reports that King Hussein of Jordan and Israel Foreign Minister Abba Eban will meet in London, members of the Security Council argued today over whether to “condemn” or “deplore” Israel’s military parade in Jerusalem.

Reports of an Israeli-Jordanian meeting stem from the trip of Eban to Londo for what has been called a “personal” visit. Hussein is already there, ostensibly for medical treatment.

A Moslem source has reported that Jordan has been strongly considering separate peace discussions with Israel through the good offices of United Nations special representative Gunnar Jarring.

Diplomats here were pondering the significance in this connection of an assertion by Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah at the close of Wednes-

day's Security Council meeting that Israel accepts the Council resolution of last Nov. 22 on the framework for a Middle East settlement.

In public declarations and statements made t Jarring, Tekoah said, Israel "has indicated its acceptance of the Security Council resolution by the promotion of agreement on the establishment of a just and durable peace." He added that Israel is "willing to seek agreement with each Arab state on all the matters included in that resolution."

In addition to Israeli troop withdrawal "from territories in the war last June, the Nov. 22 resolution called for anend to Arab belligerency and acknowledgement of "security and recognized boundaries." It also sought an Arab refugee settlement and freedom of transit in the Suez Canal and Gulf of Aqaba.

Arab governments had contended that Israel had not said positively that it accepted the resolution. Tekoah's statement, the most explicit so far, could be read as a concession in this respect—although it did not state Israeli willingness to withdraw from “all the” territories asthe Arabs have demanded (but the resolution did not stipulate.)

Today India drafted a resolution condemning the Israeli action i holding the parade in the face of requests from the Security Council and Secretary General U Thant to call it off.

Although the United States and other Western members disapproved of the parade, they sought tosubstitute “deplore” for “condemn” and to add a plea for all countries to concentrate on helping Jar-

ring's peace efforts. It appeared likely that this effort would succeed.

Rocky Hawkish in '64—What About '68?

By Chalmers M. Roberts

Washington Post Staff Writer

Can Gov. Nelson Rockefeller take a position on the Vietnam War to which a big majority of Americans could subscribe? If so, could it help win him the Republican presidential nomination and the election in November?

Such questions as these are percolating around Washington in anticipation of what the New York Governor will say when, as he now has promised, he breaks his long silence on Vietnam.

Rockefeller's last full-dress speech on Vietnam was made at Grant's Pass, Ore., on April 27, 1964, when he was still running against Barry Goldwater for the nomination. Anything he says now will be compared with what he said then.

"Winning the fight for freedom in Vietnam," he said in 1964, "is essential to the survival of all of Asia. The Communist Vietcong guerrillas must be defeated. Victory for the Communists in South Vietnam would seal the fate of Laos, imperil further the integrity of Cambodia, usher in a heightened subversive effort against the government of Thailand and immediately threaten the pro-Western orientation of Malaysia...

News Analysis

"Thus the commitment we must make in Vietnam is to all men who are free and all who would be so... the fate of each Southeast Asian country is inextricably tied to that of its neighbors."

All this, and more like it, was said at a time when there were 19,000 Americans in Vietnam acting as advisers and before regular bombing of the North had begun. Today there are more than half a million Americans there with thousands more likely to follow.

Furthermore, the course of the war has demonstrated that "winning" in Vietnam involves far more than a military exercise and even that has run into plenty of trouble. Besides, the South Vietnamese have shown serious limitations in their own resolve. Rockefeller even before Grant's Pass had been calling on them to do more of the fighting.

It is evident that Rockefeller would have to do a 180-degree swing if he now were to emerge as a Vietnam dove, something nobody expects. The sweeping principles he enunciated in 1964 are valid in 1968, assuming they were valid in the first place.

But Rockefeller has room both to stand on that principle and to call for changes in the conduct of the war, either escalating or de-escalating the manner and extent of the American role. Above all, he could point out a route he believes could lead to an acceptable negotiated settlement and define what he considers acceptable.

Since Grant's Pass, Rockefeller has confined his comments to generalities about backing the President who "needs the support of all people" in "his quest for an honorable peace, which I think the whole country is praying for."

The polls show that a majority of Americans is dissatisfied with the President's conduct of the war. But a majority, not necessarily the same voets, also is unwilling to pull out.

It is this confused state of mind that Richard Nixon was addressing himself yesterday when he promised to "end the war and win the peace in the Pacific." More important than that political promise was Nixon's clear accent on military power and the implication of escalation should he be come President.

This doubtless will be widely read as putting

Nixon on the right, or harder, side of the President. Rockefeller's options would seem to be to go along with President Johnson, follow Nixon to the right or stake out a position somewhat to the left, or softer, side.

Some Rockefeller aides believe he will speak out on Vietnam in a month or so, perhaps after seeing the extent of the anti-Johnson vote garnered by Sen. Eugene McCarthy in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and maybe Massachusetts as well.

Rockefeller's chief foreign policy adviser for many years has been Prof. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard, author of "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy." The Governor recently has been seeing Kissinger frequently but so far he has yet to set up any kind of foreign policy task force, his aides say.

Kissinger helped formulate the Grant's Pass speech. He is a believer in a wide and responsible international role for the United States. On Vietnam he like the Governor, has been avoiding public comment. However, he is reliably reported recently to have said privately that he believes the war has reached the point where negotiations will be under way this summer, perhaps by June.

# Swedes Criticize Regime on U.S. Rift

By Wilfrid Fleisher

STOCKHOLM, March 9--
Opposition parties," expressing
shock at the recall of Ameri-
can Ambassador William
Heath, accused the govern-
ment today of jeopardizing
Sweden's relations with the
United States and Swedish
neutrality by openly siding
with North Vietnam.

The only exception was the
Communist Party leader, C. H.
Hermansson, who urged that
Sweden "reciprocate" by re-
calling its envoy from Wash-
ington.

Yngve Holmberg, the Con-
servative Party leader, struck
the keynote for the opposition
when he charged that the
Swedish government had
"used its foreign policy as a
tool for internal political pur-
poses and endangered Swedish
neutrality."

But the Social Democratic
government stood firm. Educa-
tion Minister Olof Palme, who
participated in an anti-Ameri-
can rally along with the visit-
ing North Vietnamese ambas-
sador from Moscow and de-
nounced American policy in
Vietnam, declared today that
he had no regrets.

[Premier Tage Erlander said in a radio broadcast today, "We want very much to maintain as friendly relations as possible with the United States, but I don't really know how this can be achieved at present," according to Reuters. He said he would consult with the Parliament's advisory council on foreign relations on the matter next week.]

Went Too Far

Criticism of the government
policy ranged from "regretta-
ble" to "scandalous." Opposi-
tion leaders agreed that,
whether Heath returns here or
not, his recall is an American
protest and that Sweden went
too far in siding with "the
enemy of the United States"
in Vietnam.

There was no doubt either
in diplomatic or Swedish polit-
ical circles of the govern-
ment's motive in attacking the
United States and siding with
the Hanoi regime.

Since the government's de-
feat in last autumn's provin-
cial elections, when the Social
Democrats lost 10 per cent of
the national vote, the Party
has been looking for a popular
issue to recoup its prestige.
With a stringent economic sit-
uation marked by growing un-
employment, inflation and a
tight housing situation, there
are no popular issues at home,
and it is believed the govern-
ment has preferred to cater to

the strong left-wing opposition
to the war in Vietnam.

Observers feel the govern-
ment has considered that
there are few votes to be
picked up from the center or
conservative elements and
that its best bet was to appeal
to left-wing voters between
the radical fringe of the Social
Democratic Party and the
Communists.

Press Criticism

The Liberal newspaper
Expressen said today: "There
is an obvious motive behind

Palme's attitude and the gov-
ernment's support of him. The
government, in a panic, is bid-
ding for the leftist vote and
has led us into the most seri-
ous foreign policy crisis since
World War II."

Premier Erlander's pledge
to assist the Greek exile
leader, Andreas Papandreou,
with his "liberation" move-
ment resulted in the recall of
the Greek envoy from Stock-
holm last week. This issue also
is popular among left-wing ele-
ments here.

But Greece is relatively un-

important to Sweden as com-
pared with the United States,
and some observers here be-
lieve that the break with the
United States may turn out to
be a liability for the Erlander
government since many
Sweden do not want to go that
far.

Diplomatic observers here
believe that, once the Swedish
election is over, the govern-
ment, if it remains in power,
will attempt to mend its
fences or leave it to a new
government to repair the dam-
age.

# LBJ Drops Out

## Decision to Avoid Massachusetts Primary
Came Despite Advisers' Advice

By Rowland Evans and Robert Novak

PRESIDENT Johnson's decision to concede the Massachusetts Democratic primary on April 30 to Sen. Eugene McCarthy was his own, reversing advice by his closest political counselors.

A private, tentative green light had been given State Democratic Chairman Lester Hyman to enter an LBJ stand-in—State Senate President Maurice Donahue—against McCarthy. The light switched from green to red on Mr. Johnson's orders, conceding the State's 72 first-ballot delegate votes to McCarthy and giving him a boost nationally.

Just how important this White House blunder will become is yet to be determined. But the strange events of last Monday and Tuesday comprise a bizarre story climaxing months of agonized indecision over Massachusetts.

ON MONDAY evening at about 6 o'clock, Hyman finally received from Washington an answer to his question of many months. In a telephone call, Mr. Johnson's two top political advisers—Washington lawyer James Rowe and Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien—said the President did not want his name on the ballot. But, Rowe added, Donahue would be acceptable as a stand-in with, presumably, full backing from Washington.

Contrary to some reports, Hyman accepted this even though it might boost Donahue as a hopeful for Governor in 1970. Rowe added to Hyman that this would be pinned down later that evening

with another telephone call.

Rowe then went into session with Mr. Johnson, and the call was never made. Nor did the call come on Tuesday. On four occasions that day, Hyman telephoned the White House—without success.

FINALLY, Rowe telephoned Hyman at 4:34 p.m. on Tuesday, 26 minutes before the 5 o'clock filing deadline. He informed Hyman that first, the President did not want to be on the ballot; second, reversing instructions of Monday night, he did not want Donahue or anybody else for a stand-in; third, Hyman would have to accept full responsibility for financing an organization if he entered a favorite son. Naturally enough, Hyman entered nobody.

The President had overruled his advisers. His own views were hammered home in a monologue delivered privately to 25 state chairmen at the White House Wednesday afternoon. Listing presidential priorities, Mr. Johnson put primary elections dead last.

A footnote: Inclusion of a dozen anti-Vietnam liberals on the 72-member Massachusetts delegation was not, as some LBJ aides hint, a reason for the President's staying out of the primary. Given an advance peek at the delegation, the White House objected to only one man: Richard Goodwin, the former LBJ aide now writing speeches for McCarthy.

### Bucks for LBJ

THE JOHNSON-for-President Committee in New Hampshire has actively solicited campaign funds from out of state, despite professions that the campaign is being financed entirely inside New Hampshire.

A special "District of Columbia Committee for New Hampshire Democrats" has collected campaign funds for the lagging Johnson campaign

against Sen. McCarthy in Tuesday's Granite State primary.

### Dirksen-Hruska Split

AN IMPORTANT but overlooked political by-product of the Senate civil rights fight is a cleavage in the long, intimate partnership between Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Senate Republican leader, and his top lieutenant, Sen. Roman Hruska of Nebraska.

The split involves more than Hruska's refusal to join Dirksen's switch in favor of open housing. Hruska exchanged harsh words with his longtime mentor and very nearly prevented cloture—forcible ending of debate—from being voted last Monday.

Sen. Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, the freshman Republican who performed well in rounding up votes for cloture, had just about convinced conservative Republican Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota to vote for cloture Monday afternoon when Hruska stepped in. Hruska told Mundt that Dirksen was opposed to all amendments watering down the open housing provision—a contention vigorously denied by Dirksen. Confused, Mundt voted against cloture.

Brooke and another freshman Republican, Sen. Charles H. Percy of Illinois, did round up the needed 65th vote: Sen. Jack Miller of Iowa. But the status of Hruska, 63, as the 72-year-old Dirksen's heir apparent as Republican leader is now clouded.

# N. Vietnamese Have Sharply Increased Forces in South

By William Tuohy
Los Angeles Times

SAIGON, March 7 — A dramatic increase in the number of North Vietnamese army troops in South Vietnam—or poised in Laos and Cambodia —is being reported here by authoritative intelligence sources.

The sources say as many as 14 North Vietnamese divisions are now wholly or partly engaged in operations in South Vietnam. U.S. officers think as many as 12 divisions have come south of the Demilitarized Zone. They still do not carry the two other units as at full divisional strength.

The total number of North Vietnamese involved in South Vietnam may now be as high as 110,000, according to Vietnamese and some Western intelligence sources. This reckoning attributes 8000 men to a division.

The last definite figure for North Vietnamese troops in South Vietnam given by U. S. sources was about 65,000, formed into some nine or ten divisions.

One senior official declared: "Infiltration has stepped up considerably in December and January and this big increase will be reflected eventually in our estimates."

The following is a fairly accurate reading of the disposition of North Vietnamese divisions in or near South Vietnam:

1ST DIVISION—positioned in the highlands of Central Vietnam with occasional forces into coastal Binhdih Province.

2D DIVISION — Operating south of Danang in I Corps,

particularly in the heavily populated Queson Valley.

3D DIVISION — This operates on the coastal boundary of I Corps and II Corps.

5TH DIVISION—A less than top-flight unit which is stationed in coastal Phuyen Province of II Corps.

6TH DIVISION—Believed to be operating in Kontum Province and the Doxa Mountain redoutad along the I Corps and II Corps boundary in the Central Highlands. U.S. intelligence sources do not presently carry the 6th as a full-fledged division.

7TH DIVISION — This highly respected unit operates North of Saigon in the Tayninh—Binhduong—Binhlong provinces area.

10TH DIVISION—Scattered in the Central Highlands with large units operating in Pleiku and Darlac provinces. The U.S. believes that this is not a division, but only remnants.

304TH DIVISION—Near the U.S. Marine base at Khesanh.

"308TH DIVISION — This elite unit is believed by some intelligence officers to be now in Laos near Tchepone poised to move in as a reserve force in the event of a major attack on Khesanh. The 308th is sometimes called the Imperial Guard because after its victory at Dien Bien Phu it was selected to guard Hanoi.

320TH DIVISION—Two regiments are believed to be positioned north of U.S. Marine positions at the Rockpile and Camp Carroll along the DMZ, and another regiment is located near Quangtri City.

324 DIVISION—This is the unit that first came across the DMZ in force in the summer

of 1966. Now, part of it is believed to be positioned near Conthien and Camlo, and its 9th regiment near Hue.

325C DIVISION—in the Khesanh area.

341ST DIVISION—Formerly guarded the southern panhandle of North Vietnam and is now thought to have moved the better part of its three regiments—the 4th, 5th, and 6th—into the Hue area.

351ST DIVISION—This is a heavy weapons division with rocket regiments which have been positioned both along the DMZ and west of Danang to bombard the U.S. base camp areas.

If these latest intelligence readings are correct, it means that the enemy's main-force fighting strength has substantially increased.

Thus, deploying the North Vietnamese forces along the Vietcong main-force battalions, the enemy can field possibly more than 200 battalions.

Against this, the United States can deploy some 100 maneuver battalions—but many of these are pinned down on area security and cannot be freely moved.

The Vietnamese Army has a total of 154 infantry battalions

but only 31 of these are in the strategic reserve—the airborne, rangers, and marines—which can be moved anywhere to meet a threat.

Most of the Vietnamese battalions are tied down to static security jobs—guarding installations, or assigned to protect pacification areas. The same is true of many of the 26 Korean battalions.

Thus the superiority of allied forces on paper does not come to much more than a one-to-one ratio when translated into maneuver battalions that can freely respond to enemy threats.

1500 Want Rockefeller to Run

By MARJORIE C. BRANDRISS

Approximately 1500 signatures
asking Governor Nelson A.
Rockefeller to run for President
have been procured in Willard
Straight Hall by the College
Students for Rockefeller,
according to Gary M. Kaye '70,
publicity director for the group.

A meeting with the New York
Governor is being arranged
when the goal of 4000 signatures
is reached so that the students
can express their views
personally to the Governor.

The impetus behind the group
came as a result of Senator Mark
Hatfield's speech delivered last
Feb. 20. The Republican Senator
from Oregon stressed letter-
writing and the establishment of
an organization in order to
support Rockefeller.

Twelve students, who were,
according to Kaye, "most
unhappy with the present
alternatives of Johnson, Nixon or
Wallace," and he realized that
although "McCarthy's attempt
to get the nomination was a
valiant one," he could hardly be
expected to succeed, found
Rockefeller to be the only
"viable alternative."

They are supporting
'Rockefeller the candidate'
rather than 'Rockefeller the Man,'
'Kay commented for the
group.

Kaye said the group, whose
existence is unknown to
Rockefeller, has no relationship
with any politician or political
government.

"There is very little we can
plan at this time because we

don't know what Rockefeller's
plans will be," Kaye said.

"We had little to go on because
we didn't know whether
Rockefeller would come out with
an anti-war program," he said.

This group's selection of
Rockefeller is "based on
Rockefeller's liberal record"
and the hope that he will come
out on the peaceful side of
Johnson's.

governor is planned within two
weeks, after the New Hampshire
primary. Approximately 8 to 12
of the group members will make
the trip.

In this meeting, the group
intends to show Rockefeller that
he does have support from the
college students, although only
one-third to one-fourth are of
voting age.

Kaye said, "We are people
without a voice and we hope he
will see our point."

## SCARB Recommends
**Liberalized Constitution**

By DANIEL M. TAUBMAN

A final draft of a new, more
liberal constitution for the
Scheduling, Coordination, and
Activities Review Board has
been presented for approval
to the Faculty Committee on
Student Affairs.

The new constitution would
permit SCARB to continue to
grant recognition to a group
which had engaged in an
allegedly illegal act.

Under the old constitution,
SCARB was obligated to drop
recognition of such groups.

The FCSA will review the
proposed constitution either this
week or next, according to Prof.
David Pimentel chairman.

The new constitution, agreed
upon unanimously by the 10
SCARB members, was written
to "give the board more
discretion as to when to apply
sanctions," according to
chairman Stephen J. Hadley '69.

It states that "since the use of
university facilities tends to
imply a degree of university
responsibility for the event,
SCARB will consider the
following criteria as a possible
basis for refusal to schedule:

"1. If the event is contrary to
the Cornell University Student
Code; or

"2. If the event in any way
threatens the health, safety, or
property of members of the
University community; or

"3. If the event is not in
keeping with the intellectual and
educational atmosphere of the
University community."

SCARB encountered
difficulties last year Hadley
explained, when Students for a
Democratic Society solicited
students' pledges to burn their
draft cards — apparently an
illegal act.

Acting under the SCARB
constitution in effect at that
time, SCARB withdrew
recognition of SDS for the
remainder of the spring
semester.

SCARB may subject
recognized student organizations
to warning, withdrawal of
scheduling privileges, or
removal of recognition under the
new constitution.
SCARB would not review
alleged misconduct by a group
until "after the fact." Hadley
said.

27 Fellowships
**Won by Cornell;**
**Third in Nation**

Cornell has won the third
highest number of Woodrow
Wilson Fellowships in the
nation; exceeded only by the
University of California and
Princeton.

The Wilson Fellowship
Foundation recently named of
1,124 "designates," including 27
Cornellians, and 980 honorable
mention winners.

The University of California
won 47 fellowships, but these
were divided among its seven
campuses. Berkeley won the
most, with 19.

Princeton was second highest
in the U.S., with 32 fellowships.
The University of Michigan tied
Cornell with 27.

The foundation's major role
has recently shifted from
making direct grants to about
1,000 students annually to
identifying those students who,
in their view, have the best
potential for college teaching.

THE LASS THAT
LOVED A SAILOR

JOSEPHINE, the only daughter of Captain Corcoran of the H.M.S. Pinafore, has fallen in love with a mere foremast hand on her father's ship. Her distress at the possibility of marrying so far beneath her station is heightened by the arrival of the Right Honorable Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., first lord of the admiralty, who visits the ship to claim her band, being accompanied by an admiring crowd of sisters, cousins and aunts. Josephine, despite her great love for Ralph Rackstraw, able seamen, hides her loves and even repels his honest advances. Poor Ralph! He resolves to do the only thing which will ease his sorrow and vows to kill himself. Alas! Will Josephine appear in time? And if she does, how will they avoid the wrath of Captain Corcoran and ignore her engagement to Sir Joseph? And what of Little Buttercup, the merry bumboat woman and her mysterious secret? Surely it concerns Ralph!

How will this dilemma resolve?

"I was determined not to take a job where I'd be compartmentalized. That's one reason I chose IBM," says George Leffler. (George, who has his B.S. in Engineering, is a Systems Engineering Manager in Marketing.)

**The job itself**

"You start by studying a customer's business even before he orders equipment. Then it's up to you to come up with a system that solves the customer's problems. You stay with it until it's installed and fully operational. You guide the customer every step of the way. So following through on your own ideas is part of your job."

**5,000 more managers**

"Another thing I like about working here is the chance for advancement. For example, IBM has over 5,000 more managers today than they had four years ago. And they need more every day."

We'd like to tell you more about the IBM story. We'll be interviewing on campus for careers in Marketing, Computer Applications, Programming, Research and Development, Manufacturing, and Field Engineering.

Leaders to Cite Red Killer Sub

Arms Budget Boost to Be Sought

By George C. Wilson

Washington Post Staff Writer

Military and congressional leaders over the next several weeks will use evidence of a new Soviet killer submarine to seek increases in the farewell budget of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara.

This battle of the budget will be fought on at least three fronts — the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, the House Armed Services Committee and the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee.

The question is whether Clark M. Clifford, newly named Secretary of Defense, and President Johnson will stand fast or at long last yield to demands for new starts on several weapons.

The intelligence briefings congressional committees have been getting this year on Soviet weaponry appear to have set the stage for a new spiral in the arms race rather than an arms control agreement, the unfulfilled hope of departing Defense Secretary McNamara.

Nixon View Given

Soviet strides also are grist for Republicans, as evidenced by Richard M. Nixon's statement Friday night that "the Soviets have very nearly eliminated our strategic superiority" so that "our whole strategic position must be reconsidered."

The Republican Coordinating committee's Task Force on National Security will expand on this theme between now and election. The Task Force cochairmen are two former Defense Secretaries, Neil H. McElroy and Thomas S. Gates Jr.

Soviet progress on nuclear

killer—or attack—submarines illustrates why it will be difficult for President Johnson to hold the line in the fiscal 1969 budget prepared by McNamara.

Some intelligence officials are telling Congress that the Russians appear to be building three new attack submarines with the high-speed hull design of U.S. Navy Thresher-class subs.

The United States, as part of the cat-and-mouse game both nations play, has clocked existing Soviet nuclear subs as they race under the sea. The speeds indicate the power of Soviet nuclear reactors. Then it can figured how fast such a reactor would push an improved hull design.

The results, as some intelligence, leaders portray them, indicate that the new Soviet attack submarines may be faster than those the United States now has operating.

Vice Admiral H. G. Rickover, a favorite of Congress, has long been pushing for a new generation of attack submarines. His testimony, plus evidence of Soviet progress, will bring heavy congressional pressure to bear on Pentagon civilians who oppose building a new sub.

Release of Testimony

Rickover's latest testimony to the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy will be released Monday.

The next day—Tuesday—the House Armed Services Committee will open its hearings on why the Pentagon is not moving faster on nuclear-powered naval task forces.

The focus is on nuclear friables the Committee told the Pentagon to build. Chairman Rivers (D-S.C.) said his Com-

mittee would not approve the Pentagon's new budget until the Defense Department awarded contracts for the two nuclear frigates authorized in the fiscal year 1968 budget.

Rickover and Rivers are at the forefront of those arguing that nuclear-powered aircraft carriers should be escorted by nuclear-powered warships, even if they cost more to build than oil-fired ships. Their argument is that the carriers are floating landing fields that must have protection that can move right along with them. Non-nuclear ships must be refueled frequently.

Hearing Planned Soon

McNamara, backed by stacks of cost-effectiveness studies, has not been willing to move the Navy as fast into nuclear propulsion as Rivers and other congressional leaders have demanded.

Additional pressure for a faster nuclear pace is coming this year from the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee headed by Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.). He plans to hold a special hearing soon on Soviet progress in nuclear attack submarines.

This military-congressional breadth of support also extends to other weapons. The Air Force, for example, wants to move faster than the McNamara budget allows on anti-satellite weapons to counter Soviet military space advances, such as the fractional orbital bombardment system (FOBS).

Gen. John P. McConnell, Air Force Chief of Staff, in recent testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee said his service wants "an operational antisatellite system." The Pentagon's research chief,

John S. Foster Jr., said such weapons are being developed. The pace of the effort is the issue — with a faster pace meaning more money.

Portrays Grave Threat

McConnell, in portraying a grave Soviet military threat, also said U.S.S.R. showed the West seven new fighters last July. He, with heavy Congressional support, is pushing for more money than the budget allows for new aircraft.

The strategic comparisons of the United States and Soviet Union in election year, 1968, coupled with the growing military demands in Vietnam and Korea, appear certain to push the Pentagon's fiscal budget above the $76.7 billion, spending estimate.

The military budget debate in CONGRESS IS EXPECTED TO WELD TOGETHER AN UNUSUAL COALITION OF HAWKS AND DOVES ON SOME QUESTIONS. "Hawks" like Sen. Stennis and Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.), as they measure the budget against the military commitments to 43 nations, will join the doves in complaining the United States is over extended.

Speedy Action Follows
Complaints of No Heat

By Carl Berstein

Washington Post Staff Writer

Four District landlords appeared yesterday at an unprecedented weekend hearing in the Court of General Sessions to answer charges that their tenants were without heat or hot water.

The hearing represented a major breakthrough for the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections, which has promised to cut through the

bureacratic maze of the District Government to get quick action on emergency heating complaints by tenants.

After it was determined that the four landlords had obeyed the Department's orders to provide heat and hot water for their tenants by yesterday morning, Assistant Corporation Counsel Charles J. Brown terminated the hearing. No charges were brought.

The cases of two other prop-

erty owners who failed to show up for the hearing were continued until Monday. If the landlords do not appear then, Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert H. Campbell said, his office will consider issuing warrants for their arrest.

Cambells warning, however, did not completely satisfy L&I officials, who argued that tenants should not be forced to go through the weekend without heat while their landlords received continuances without being penalized.

According to inspectors, property owned by the two landlords who failed to show for the hearing were still without either heat or hot water yesterday morning.

Despite some displeasure with the Corporation Council's office, Julian Dugas, director of the Department of Licenses and Inspections, said the Saturday hearing was "very effective."

Dugas, who has pledged to transform his department into an agency that rigorously enforces the City's housing and building codes, was accompanied at the hearing by half a dozen housing inspectors and two of his chief deputies, Carroll A. Swanson, director of the Housing Division, and Coleman D. Holmes, chief inspector of housing.

When one of the landlords at the hearing objected to being summoned on a Saturday, Dugas, his voice rising, said: "I don't care what day it is. We've been down this road too long. People who pay rent have a right to have heat; that's not asking very much. It's not very much to call people in on Saturdays if they can't provide heat."

Soviets Advance in Mideast

By Joe Alex Morris Jr.

Los Angeles Times

BEIRUT—The Soviet Union is coming of age as a major power in the Middle East, 13 years after Moscow scored its first major breakthrough in the area in an arms deal with Egypt.

Today Russia is the principal supplier of military hardware to all the major Arab states. It is helping Egypt build the Aswan Dam, the biggest foreign-aid project in the area and will soon send hundreds of technicians to Syria to build another dam on the Euphrates River.

Soviet naval vessels ride at anchor in Alexandria harbor and at Port Said, where they are clearly intended to discourage further Israeli military adventures across the bot-tled-up Suez Canal. Russian bombers pay courtesy visits to Cairo, and huge Antonov transports stop there to refuel on their way to Yemen, carrying arms to the Republican government.

Particularly since the June Arab-Israeli war, the Soviet Union has had an unparalleled

opportunity to exercise ever-greater influence in this area, which contains 60 per cent of the world's proven oil reserves. Moscow has sought to capitalize on this, but many observers here feel that the Russians have actually moved very cautiously.

Two factors are put forward to explain this. First, President Johnson and Premier Ko-sygin came to a broad understanding on the Middle East at Glassboro, N.J., last summer. It is widely believed here that the two superpowers agreed to disagree about the area but not to permit their differences to spill over into a direct military confrontation such as the one so narrowly avoided in June.

The second explanation is that the Russians are still searching for a new Middle Eastern policy. Their unhappiness over the June war was all too evident; presumably it extended to Egyptian President Nasser himself, since Nasser proved incapable of preventing the war.

Russians are the Arabs' chief armorers. Israelis captured this missile last June.

Yet Moscow has continued to support Nasser as the first among equals of all its Arab friends. To some observers here, this is explainable only by the theory that the Rus-

sians, like the Arabs themselves, have been unable to come up with a better man than Nasser, nor a better program than his.

Relations between Nasser

and the Kremlin have not always been happy. A crisis in Arab-Soviet relations took place because Iraq's revolutionary leader, Abdel Karim

# U.S. Worried by Strides In Soviet Strategic Arms

By George C. Wilson

Washington Post Staff Writer

The United States has evidence that the Soviet Union is developing new generations of submarines, aircraft and missiles to catch up with the United States in strategic weapons.

Military leaders who have just gone over the latest intelligence on Soviet weaponry say they are frankly worried about the general trend as well as some of the specifics.

They fear the Soviet Union will make significant strides while the U.S. holds down spending for strategic weapons to release a maximum amount of money for the Vietnam war.

The Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee will look into that question soon in a series of hearings that will spill over to the political campaign.

The subcommittee plans to call intelligence leaders first to detail Soviet progress. The next step will be to ask U.S. military leaders to assess that progress. No date has been set for the hearings.

The issue turns on how much defense is enough, with Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara one pole of the argument and the Joint Chiefs of Staff another. They were $21.7 billion apart on the Fiscal 1969 military budget.

McNamara decided to ask Congress for $79.6 million in new money (new obligatory authority) instead of the $101.3 billion sought by the military services and defense agencies.

Clark M. Clifford, who will succeed McNamara by the end of this month, will have to decide whether to defend McNamara's budget or to bow to the judgment of military leaders and make additions.

The hawkish Congressional military committees will push for more money. The Preparedness Subcommittee hearing

will help make their case as they explore the following big advances in Soviet weaponry:

Pentagon sources state that American intelligence leaders have evidence that the Soviet Union is developing a new class of nuclear subs that have 16 missile tubes each—the same as the American Polaris ballistic missile subs.

Russia has been operating subs that carry three ballistic missile each. There have been reports that newer Soviet subs can carry six to eight missiles.

The evidence of the 16-tube sub has not been made public before. Soviet sub advances

are being discussed in closed
Congressional hearings.

Some of the Soviet subs
carry cruise missiles instead
of ballistic ones like the
Polaris. The cruise missiles—
shaped something like a drone
airplane with the missile form-
ing the body—are for sinking
ships. Submarine ballistic
missiles are for hitting cities
and other land targets.

The United States depends
on its Polaris fleet of 41 boats
to retaliate against anybody
who fires missiles at the Amer-
ican continent or European
allies. The hope in the Penta-
gon is that Russia also regards
her new missiles submarines
as second-strike weapons.

Besides building new sub-
marines, the Soviet Union also
appears to be improving the
missiles to go into them so
they can be launched from un-
dermaker for long distances.
This is the Polaris technique.

The question for Congress
is whether the Soviet prog-
ress means that the U.S. should
go on to a new generation
of ballistic missile subs.

The Soviet Union is develop-
ing a new Mach 3 (over 1800
miles an hour) interceptor,
while McNamara has decided
to buy a modernized version
of the existing Mach 2.5 Con-
val F-106 for U.S. air defense.
The Air Force wanted the fast-

er — but more expensive —
Lockheed F-12, a redo of the
A-11 spy plane that succeeded
the U-2. Question: Is the F-106
good enough in light of Rus-
sian progress?

The interpreter points up
the concern of such law-
makers as Sen. Stuart Sym-
ington (D-Mo.), a member of
the Preparedness Subcommit-
tee, over the fact that Russia
is developing a whole family
of new aircraft. In contrast,
the U.S. is concentrating on
only one new fighter, the con-
troversial F-111 (TFX).

## Missles

With the help of a new
solid-fueled ICBM like our
own Minuteman at their ready
in underground silos, Russia
is expected to close her
ICBM "missile gap" with the
U.S. as early as next year—
1972 at the latest.

The Soviets' new ICBM is
designed to go the Minuteman
one better by being mobile.
Military intelligence leaders
have confirmed Soviet claims
of having a mobile ICBM in
the works.

This mobility would make
the ICBM hard to take out,
even in a surprise attack, be-
cause it cannot be targeted
in advance. The Air Force
has unsuccessfully pushed for
mobile strategic missiles in
the past.

Solid missiles are powered

by an eraser-like substance
that combines the fuel and
oxygen, making them safe to
jounce around on vehicles. A
solid ICBM also can be
launched in a hurry since it
does not have to be loaded
with liquid oxygen just be-
fore firing.

Russia, according to Penta-
gon sources, also is building
SS-9 (over 10 megatons) and
SS-11 (over one megaton)
ICBMs in its drive for nuclear
parity with the U.S.

Against this growing ICBM
force, McNamara has decided
to keep the American ICBM
total at 1054 launchers (1000
Minutemen and 54 Titans).
This is the outlook for Soviet
ICBM growth, using a round-
ed average of the high and
low Pentagon estimates:

1967-720 (about 150 in soft,
or exposed, sites instead of
buried underground in con-
crete missiles like the U.S.
ICBM force).

1969-1000 (about 125 in
soft sites).

1972-1150 (none in soft
sites).

Taking the high side of the
intelligence estimates in the
Pentagon, Russia would close
her ICBM gap next year and
be about 200 ICBMS ahead in
1972.

McNamara's answer to this
growth is to put several war-
heads on many of our indi-
vidual ICBMs. The

submarine-launched missile
for example, will be designed
to carry up to 10 warheads
each.

Also, some of the Minute-
man missiles are slated to be
put in super-hard silos to help
insure their surviving a sur-
prise attack.

The Pentagon said in a state-
ment yesterday that by put-
ting several warheads on many
ICBMs, the U.S. will maintain
"a commanding lead" over
Russia in nuclear power. It
put the current warhead score
at 4200 for the U.S. including

ICBMs, submarines and bomb-
ers, and about 100 for Russia.

McNamara considers surviv-
able warheads a more mean-
ingful measure of nuclear
strength than numbers of
ICBMs or total megatonnage.

What worries many military
leaders is that Russia, with
many of its rockets more pow-
erful than U.S. ICBMs, may
also go the multiple warhead
route. This brings up the cen-
tral question of whether nu-
clear parity—measured either
by ICBMs or warheads—is the
safest relationship between
the world's two super-powers
or whether stability — like a
see-saw—comes from having a
heavier weight at one end. The
military chiefs are pushing to
keep the U.S. the heavy end.

Dirksen Influence With GOP Colleagues Wanes

By David S. Broder
Washington Post Staff Writer

As yesterday's Senate roll call on open hous-
ing began, Republican Leader Everett McKin-
ley Dirksen of Illinois stood spraddle-legged
in the center aisle, keeping the weight off his
stiff right hip. Seemingly preoccupied, he
scowled in silence at the Republican ranks.

After casting his own vote, he limped over
to the desk of Sen. Carl Curtis (D-Neb.) for a
few minutes of whispered conversation, and
then down to his front-row seat, where he sat,
arms folded, awaiting the result.

In a few minutes, it was clear to Dirksen
and everyone else that for the second time in
two days he had failed to persuade a majority
of his Republican flock to follow him on a key
roll call.

On Tuesday, 18 Republicans voted for cloture
on the civil rights-open housing bill; 17 joined
Dirksen in opposing the anti-filibuster move.

Yesterday, only 15 Republicans went along
with their leader's motion to table (kill) the
open housing provisions, while 19 Republicans
voted against him.

The twin setbacks came at an embarrassing
time for Dirksen. A vote is scheduled today by
the arrangements committee of the 1968 Repub-
lican convention to decide whether Dirksen will
be granted his request to be sole chairman of
the platform committee, or will have to share
the power with Gov. Raymond P. Shafer of
Pennsylvania, endorsed by the 26 Republican
Governors for co-chairman.

Shafer's backers are certain to use the Senate
votes as evidence that Dirksen's claim for pre-
eminence in drafting the Party's presidential
platform rests on a shaky foundation.

Within the Senate, even Republicans who op-
posed Dirksen on the two roll calls stopped
short of describing the votes as a repuciation
of his leadership. There was no effort at arm-

twisting on his part, they said, and no attempt
by Dirksen to make the votes a question of per-
sonal confidence.

Nonetheless, the two votes were viewed in
the Senate as the latest in a series of events
that cumulatively support one influential Sen-
ator's view that "Dirksen's leadership is being
weakened."

The change was first noted early in 1967,
when Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky.), previ-
ously a loyal Dirksen lieutenant, organized a
revolt against Dirksen's opposition to the con-
sular treaty with Russia. Morton's counter-of-
fensive was so effective that Dirksen eventually
reversed himself and joined the majority of Re-
publicans in voting to ratify the pact.

Then last November, while Dirksen was in the
hospital with one of his frequent ailments, his
own son-in-law, freshman Sen. Howard Baker
(R-Tenn.), lined up 22 of the 26 voting Reubli-
cans in favor of a tough bill on equal-population
Congressional districts—a cause long opposed
by Dirksen.

A month later, Sen. Robert P. Griffin (R-
Mich.), another of the 1966 freshmen who help-
ed shift the power balance against Dirksen,
lined up 12 of 31 voting Republicans to block
a Dirksen amendment that would have barred
use of Federal funds to bus pupils to inte-
grated schools.

Dirksen has been at odds with many members
of his own Party on the politically sensitive
civil rights issue for some time. He was on the
losing side last October when the Senate Judici-
ary Committee voted, 8 to 7, to clear the 1967
civil rights bill; the decisive vote for the bill
was supplied by a Republican. Sen. Hugh Scott
of Pennsylvania.

# Nixon's Constituency

## Events Have Finally Made Him Spokesman
For Edgy Under-$10,000 White Class

By Joseph Kraft

IN CONTEMPLATING the presidential campaign of the former Vice President, it is useful to think about the new circumstances as well as the old Nixon. For Nixon presents a modern version of the classic case of private vices being public virtues.

More exactly, it is a matter of qualities once unpalatable now acquiring a special relevance. With Nixon, except for Vietnam where the critical test is to come, the man and the moment are in harmony.

The moment is characterized by the peculiar position of this country's basic majority—the low-income whites earning annually about $10,000 and under per family. This group has superficially never had it so good. Annual income is up about 40 per cent in the past eight years and there has been a steady rise in the quality of housing, food and all the other ap- purtenances.

But much of the new money has gone for taxes, inflation and keeping up with the Joneses. Negro demands for equal treatment in housing, employment and education seem to strike directly at lower-income white aspirations. At the same time, the highly educated upper middle class, by demanding increasingly better schools, transportation, police protection and other services, is beating down hard on the lower-income whites who provide most of these services.

NOT UNNATURALLY, as a result, the low-income whites are feeling edgy. Almost any setback, but especially riots in the streets, could set them off in an explosion of folk malevolence,

the more so as their views and outlook are not now expressed by any respectable political figure.

Except, that is, for Nixon. He is a product of lower-income America. His rapport is still with that group, and he knows it.

"These are my people," he said in an interview the other day. "We speak the same language. Theodore Roosevelt once said that the Presidency was 'a bully pulpit.' Well, these days you can't preach to people. But you have to talk to them, and I can.

"Take civil rights. You can pass all the Federal programs you want for fair employment, fair housing, fair education. I'm in favor of these things, and I know how to get the programs through the Congress.

"But the programs don't mean anything unless you can promote a reconciliation between whites and Negroes, unless you can get the whites to stop hating and fearing the Negro. But to get the reconciliation, you have to talk to people, understand them and sympathize with them. I can do that."

THAT QUALITY, that right kind of eloquence as it were, is reinforced by two other traits. There is, for one thing, the old pro quality. Nixon may not inspire people as an exciting, fresh face, still less get by difficult passes by the brilliant magnetism of his style. But as probably no other man in American pulbic life, he knows the ropes of politics and government.

He has not made any bloopers in his campaign. He would probably not make many mistakes as President. He would probably even be

proof against the fatal transition period—the period when Lyndon Johnson, on the model of John Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs, allowed himself to be saddled with the war in Vietnam.

Additionally, there is Nixon's curious self-detachment—that extraordinary capacity to take the measure of men and situations and to adjust his own stance accordingly. "Instinctively," Nixon says, "I'm a centrist." And precisely because he is sensitive to other people, because he does adjust so rapidly and constantly, because he is so plastic or, as it used to be said, tricky, it is truly hard to see him in an extreme position. Provided he can get over one hurdle, Nixon would probably make a very safe President.

THE HURDLE, of course, is Vietnam. Nixon has at all times had a drooling passion for anti-Communist politics—for taking the position of charging the Democrats with being soft on communism. As a result, he is now stuck with a hard-line position on Vietnam that makes little appeal to the enormous number of voters who see a negotiated settlement as the way out.

In the past few weeks, Nixon has shaded his stance slightly toward the peace side of the issue. In the campaign ahead, the real test will be whether he is prepared to abandon political anti-communism to the point of coming down dramatically on the peace side of the Vietnam issue. That test will show whether his flexibility is mere oportunism or the kind of elastic heroism required to guide the Nation, not for eternity but at this particular time.
