Saigon Is One Os Orient’s Loveliests

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Despite the tensions of wal\ Saigon remains one of the loveliest cities of the Orient, a city of smart shops, comfortable hotels and beautiful girls bicyclling in silken trousers along tree-lined, shaded streets. There can be ugliness. There is the tossed grenade in a crowded case. And now there is the tension between the Buddhist majority and the government, and the accompanying hideous sight of an aged Buddhist monk turning himself into a flaming torch in a Saigon street. But for sheer physical beauty the city has few equals. There is then an almost nightmarish quality to Saigon dispatches suggesting that the government would reduce Saigon to ashes to keep itself in power against a revolt which the president’s brother and chief adviser says he regards as “inevitable.” This brother and close adviser of President Ngo Dinh Diem is Ngo Dinh Nhu. Warns Os Destruction In a stern lecture to Vietnamese generals, whom he accused of inadequate precautions against the expected coup, Nhu is reported to have said in such an event the city should be razed and the government, if necessary, take to the mountains. With only a ruined capital remaining, he said, the plotters could not last three months. Nhu is a devious man who ordinarily prefers to operate be hind the scenes. His wife is the beautiful Mme. Nhu whose stern views against dancing* led the United States Embassy in 1962 to cancel a square dance for its teen-agers. Living in the presidential palace with bachelor President Ngo Dinh Diem, they are two of the most influential persons in South

Viet Nam. Nhu runs the secret police and reportedly tells the president which army officers should receive promotions. Nhu frequently has accused the United States of encouraging an abortive revolt against the Ngo Dinh Diem regime in 1960. This time, he says, any new attempt at a coup d’etat would be be th anti-American and antiBuddhist.. Charges U.S. Pressure Mme. Nhu has accused the United States of bringing pressure to stop her own anti-Budd-hist' statements including one that the women of South Viet Nam should clap hands at each new Buddhist burning. Nhu’s threat to burn the city ignores the fact that for the government the act would be as suicidal as the fiery deaths of Buddhist monks. But Nhu in the past has been suspected of creating emergencies for his own purposes and this threat could be interpreted as a warning to the U.S. that its own future in Southeast Asia is inextricably tied with the future of the authoritarian Dinh family. The conflict between the Buddhists and the government has gone on for more than three months and the Dinh family is on the defensive. And meantime the Communist enemy has been the gainer. This is the situation into which Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. moves this week as the new U.S. ambassador.

SECOND ATTEMPT (Continued from Page 1) Hopes for his survival have dimmed. Fellin, who has remained buoyant through the 10-day ordeal, bantered and joked earlier today with rescuers above ground, asking for his wife and noting: “Nine days. It’s nine days we’re here.” Told he was “close,” he added, “I guess when I get home my old woman will give me hell.” In a serious vein, he commented: “if I saw something like this four years ago, I would have been a priest. You can’t believe what we went through.” If you have something to sell oi trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

SAYS TEST (Continued from Page 1) > States would not be able to “proof-test” its weapons systems for lack of atmospheric tests — particularly as they related to anti-missile defense and protection of U.S. misgile sites. The Teller-Foster arguments were attacked forcibly by two other top nuclear experts — Dr. Harold Brown, research-engineer-ing chief for the Defense Department, and Dr. N. E. Bradbury, director of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, DMinn., chairman of the disarmament subcommittee and a member of the foreign relations committee, said Brown and Bradbury had delivered “powerful” evidence to contradict Teller. Says U.S. Benefits Brown said the treaty banning all but underground tests would reap military benefits for the United States even if Russia : should cheat. He also said most of the problems involved in de- I veloping a missile defense system would not be solved by further testing. Bradbury said that down through the years he had disagreed with many of Teller’s professional opinions. He said the treaty had only “mild risks,” and added: “If now is not the time to take ‘this chance, to count on this hope — what combination of likely circumstances will ever proauce a better time? I, myself, with considerable knowledge of nuclear things, with some of their military use, but with only a plain citizens’s feelings about people and nations and hopes and fears, would prefer to , try to follow the path- of hope.” Cool Weather Slows Maturing Os Crops LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Cool temperatures last week delayed ripening of the tomato crop and slowed the maturing of corn and soybeans, agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim reported today. Straszheim said in his weekly crop report from Purdue University that while the corn crop’s development was slowed, the crop’s progress still is about usual. “About half the corn crop has reached or passed the dough stage. Soybean development is also at about the usual rate with five per cent of the crop beginning to turn yellow,” the report said. i.. The tomato harvest "gathered some momentum during the week,” Straszheim reported, but cool weather delayed ripening. The plowing of land intended for winter wheat continued with more than 20 per cent finished. Tobacco cutting also began but less than five per cent of the crop has been harvested, “which is slightly behind usual.” The report said in most areas soil moisture “appears adequate” although there were reports of deficiencies in the northwest and southwest. State climatologist Lawrence A. Schaal reported that “all areas recently are receiving their normal rainfall or 1 or 2 inches more” but the one exception is the southwest v. here the precipitation total is running about an inch behind. Extension plant pathologist Eric Sharvelle reported that “welcome rains were worth a million dollars to Hoosier farmers.*’ But he said in some instances they encouraged the spread and development of “destructive plant diseases,” including root rots on soybeans. » College Students Hear Gov. Welsh BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD - Governor Welsh told a meeting of college students from throughout the nation today freedom cannot be honored in speeches and denied on the streets. Welsh told the U. S. National Student Association at its convention at Indiana University that "today is no less a test of our ability to govern ourselves in freedom than that our. forefathers met with startling success.” “We cannot put off until tomorrow our test of confidence in free speech, freedom of worship, the right to think and speak and write as,we choose,” he said. The governor said he was confident freedom could be strengthened only be extending it to all citizens, including “those with whom we disagree or whom we do not like.” He told the students not to “honor freedom in speeches and deny it on the streets." "You cannot protect freedom by keeping it vacuum packed for a safe future,” Welsh said. Welsh told the students to choose between “the road of fear” or “the road of courage and confidence that demands of us the willingness to extend the same rights and privileges we seek for ourselves;” If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG result*.

Geneva Publisher Injured In Wreck Harold Mattax, 68, of Geneva, editor and publisher of the Geneva Herald was severely injured at 6:30 p.m. Monday in a two-car accident in Geneva. Mattax is in Jay county hospital in Portland with several broken ribs on nis' right side, injuries to his right hip, a twoinch gash on top of his head and laceration to his neck. ( His condition is reported as satisfactory, but it will be necessary for him to remain in the hospital for several days. The publisher was driving across route 27 in Geneva when his automobile was struck by a car driven by Roger Leudeke, 23, of Bryant. Mattax was thrown from his car and landed head first in some mud near the highway. He was taken to the hospital in Portland by ambulance. Geneva police chief Preston Pyle estimated damage to the Mattax car at $450. Leudeke’s car was a total loss. Leudeke was arrested on two charges, driving without an operator’s license and driving with illegal license plates. A smaller issue of this week’s Geneva Herald will be published by Mrs. Mattax and by Nolan Koons, who assists Mr. and Mrs. Mattax in the work.

Khrushchev, Tito Visit Quake City SKOPJE, Yugoslavia (UPD — Yugoslav President Tito joined visiting Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in a trip to earthquake - devastated Skopje today. They visited the site of the disaster after indicating their once bitterly feuding communist nations have patched up their differences. The two leaders flew here frbm Belgrade for four hours of surveying damage and greeting survivors of the July 26 earthquake that took about 2,000 lives. At the same time, the official Tanjug news agency reported Tito said at a dinner with Khrushchev Wednesday night, “We have mutually arrived at the conclusion that many things which have divided us in the past have been mere trifles and that we are noy faced with common interests and tasks.” .kh Tito’s speech seemed to wt-rte the end to the two-nation struggle that began in 1948 when the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin expelled Yugoslavia from the Red movement for pursuing an independent brand of communism. “Nobody can say he doesn’t make mistakes,” Tito said; . “We did not always act quite correctly. It is good we are aide to correct our mistakes. It is dangerous when that is not done,” he said. ■ “During the course of the past few years, especially in recept times, the relations between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have been developing in the spirit of best mutual understanding and good cooperation on the government level.” Khrushchev said in his speech Wednesday night that an “imperi. alist” attack on communism would ignite the final worlds war. “If the imperialists start a newv.orld war, it will be the last war because the people will not tolerate a system which brings the disasters of war and devastates mankind,” he said. An “imperialist” attack would fetch a "mighty blow" in return from the Communist camp, he added. “We are struggling for peace, but we shall not tremble if the most aggressive forces of imperialism—those we call the wild ones —unleash war,” Khrushchev said.

Mercury Into 50s 12th Day In Row By United Press International Indiana’s wave of sub-normal August temperatures stretched out to nearly a two-week length today as the mercury fell into the chilly 50s for the 12th day in a row. Indianapolis, deep in the heart of the state’s midsection, was the coolest point with a high of 79 Wednesday and an overnight low of 53 this morning. Earlier forecasts of highs in the upper 80s and possibly the low 90s were revised to call for maximums today, Friday and Saturday “in the 80s,” an unspecific range of 10 degrees. Highs Wednesday included 80 at Louisville, 81 at Lafayette, 82 at Fort Wayne, 84 at South Bend and 87 at Evansville. Lows this morning included 54 at Cincinnati, 56 at Louisville and Evansville, 57 at Lafayette, 58 at Fort Wayne and 63 at South Bend. Lows tonight will range from the upper 50s to the 60s, with central and southern areas cooler than the north again in a pattern which has prevailed now for about three days. Mostly fair skies were expected through Saturday as earlier indications of rain were dissolved.
