By BENNETT CIRFSUDiTli CRIST has pin-pointed the cause- for the everi increasing popularity of old movies starring the late W. B. Fields. “It is Fields as an angry man, suspicious of the pprld, who delights our louls," reasons Miss Crist, '‘for the anger is hidden behind the overblown facade of the innocent abroad, whether he was playing the role of Larsen E. Whipsnade, or Professor Eustace McGargle, or Cuthbert J. Twillie, or indeed, the great Micawber. Fields bifnself knew he was catering to the unkind-of-beart among us. *1 like, fcn'an audience,’ he once r tax/■* rttnrvs wrote, the fellow who YV.C.

Rusk, Lodge see no early end to war in Vietnam

WASHINGTON UPI—Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Ambassador -at- large Henry Cabot Lodge see no hopeful signs for an early end to the fighting in Vietnam. Lodge, who served two tours as U.S. ambassador to Saigon, Jredicted Sunday that American "troops probably will have to remain in Vietnam for a long ,timn. “ Rusk, in a separate weekend interview, said he saw "no sign ?that Hanoi Is willing to move to jan honorable settlement.” . Lodge predicted allied forces .Will achieve ‘‘very big military rresults in a year or two” and .said U.S. combat casualties 'ought tq be down by the end of this year. > But he added, ‘T think there’s going to have to be a U.S. presence there for a long time. • "After all, we’ve had U.S. Jtroops in Germany for 25 years. We’ve had them in Korea 17 * years and there’s no great tragedy In that so long as they’re Pot being killed,” Lodge said. - Rusk said the Johnson administration does not believe the prospects for an honorable settlement In Vietnam "are en-

hanced by proposals which ask us to stop half the war while the other side continues unabated its half of the war. "We are aware of many proposals which we and others have made for a de-escalation of the violence in Vietnam,” Rusk said. “We have offered to put on the table a schedule of withdrawal of United States forces if North Vietnam will do the same.” Rusk made his remarks in answer to questions submitted about two weeks ago by Daniel Viklund of the Stockholm newspaper, Dagens Nyheter. For the most part, Rusk reiterated the administration policies in Vietnam and said ht could see no signs pointing to an early end of the war. Lodge, Interviewed by Sens. Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa., and Hugh Scott, R-Pa„ on a program for broadcast in Pennsylvania, said South Vietnamese army desertions are running far below a year ago while Viet Cong defections have doubled during the same period.

ALGIERS UPI — Former Congolese Premier Moise Tshombe sat in an Algiers jail today while the Congo government maneuvered to get him to Kinasha where a sentence of death awaits him. A special envoy from the Congo was expected in Algiers today to discuss extradition of Tshombe, who was pirated to Algiers in a hijacked airplane Friday night. Tshombe was sentenced to death in absentia earlier this year by the government of strongman President Lt. Gen. Joseph D. Mobutu. Informed sources said there was little doubt Tshombe would be executed if returned to the Congo. The Algerian government said Sunday night it had not yet received a request for Tshombe’s extradition. But the informed sources said Algeria would Meredith will end march today PICKENS, Miss. UPI—James Meredith will complete his "march against fear” 25 miles short of the Mississippi capital where his memorial march last year ended with a giant rally. Meredith said Sunday he would end his walk at Canton, which has an 87 per cent Negro population, Tuesday with a possible July 4th celebration. The slender, 34-year-old Negro was to strike out on the 22-mile hike from just outside Pickens to Canton this morning. Meredith walked 12 miles Sunday in a steady rain, but he was jovial as he led around 30 followers down U.S. 51. The fact that he was about to end a 150mile march seemed to bolster his spirits. When he began his march 10 days ago, he intended to march to Jackson. But as he walked, he indicated he might not enter the Mississippi capital. When Meredith was felled by a sniper last June outside Hernando, Miss., Negro leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., took over the march a a memorial to Meredith and ended

likely comply with such a request when it is made. Tshombe, 48, and a group of about 10 companions were flying from the Mediterranean island of Ibiza to Palma Majorica Friday night in a twinengined Hawker Siddeley 125 executive jet. The two British pilots of the jet were forced at gunpoint to fly to Algiers and the entire party and crew were promptly arrested and placed in jail, the sources said. Diplomatic observers said that probably one or more of the persons aboard the plane had betrayed Tshombe. Tshombe has been a prominent figure in sometimes mysterious and violent chapters of the Congo’s brief history. After its independence from Belgium in 1960, the Congo’s first Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. Tshombe then led the important Katange State in secession and become Katanga’s president. Following three years of Internal struggle, which involved United Nations troops, Katanga was reunited with the rest of the Congo. In 1964 Tshombe was asked to return to the government and was named prime minister. Tshombe’s government was dismissed the following year, however, and internal jockeying among rival politicians led to the coup by Mobutu in 1966.

Strike against tire producers AKRON, Ohio UPI — The United Rubber Workers (URW) strike against four of the big five tire producers entered its 74th day today with almost a total blackout in negotiations. The lengthy strike has been marked by mass picketing and growing unrest among the idle workers. It appeared that four major items were blocking settlement —package demands by the URW; a mutual aid plan devised by the five major rubber companies; union politics and secrecy at the bargaining table. The URW announced at the beginning of negotiations last spring they were shooting for a 92.5 per cent supplemental unemployment package, upgrading skilled workers’ pay, equal pay rates for tire and non-tire employes and a substantial general wage increase. The latest offers by the companies were 38 cents an hour for tire builders over three years and 31 cents for non-tire workers. An added 10 cents an hour ! for skilled tradesmen, 75 per cent straight pay for laid off ! workers and an increase in the pension payment of $2 to $5.25 a month for each year of service. General Tire & Rubber, which ; was the last company struck, is offering 43 cents an hour, 80 per cent unemployment, $5.50 in pensions and also is providing an extra paid holiday. The union has called the offers “inadequate and unrealistic.”

351 traffic deaths recorded so far; figure expected to reach over 800

By United Press International The work-a-day world trapped | millions of Americans today but the Fourth of July holiday, | which many began celebrating two days ago, was just hours away and with it, death—in mounting numbers — on the roads. The holiday weekend began officially Friday night and ; Americans everywhere took ad1 vantage of the long weekend to travel near and far in pursuit of fun and relaxation. Today, being a work day in most industries, was an interruption only barely tolerated. Those stuck on the job were expected to form the biggest I highway crush of the weekend when they piled into their cars this afternoon for trips to favorite fun in the sun spots. The National Safety Council said, on the basis of the rapidly increasing number of traffic deaths during the early hours of the weekend, that there was j little doubt as many as 800 : persons would die in traffic ! during the 102-hour period. The United Press International count at 3 a. m. EDT showed | 351 persons dead in traffic accidents since the start of the period.

Vermont and Wyoming listed no traffic deaths. The Safety Council estimated before the start of the weekend that 700 to 800 persons would die in traffic accidents, basing the estimate on the increase in vehicles, miles traveled and the fact holdiday traffic usually claims 20 to 25 per cent more lives than a similar non-holdiay period. The council said that in a similar non-holdiay period this time of year 600 persons would be killed in traffic accidents. Patriotic organizations, cities and towns today put the final touches on observances scheduled for the fourth itself.

They ranged from simple parades to massive rocket-ex-ploding ceremonies. The Aemircan Bell Association urged a departure from traditional July 4th celebrations, which annually featured fireworks displays and individuals popping off firecrackers, although they are illegal in many states. The association wants every bell in the nation rung at 2 p. m. EDT and proportionately earlier in time zones, on the fourth. “It’s much safer than fireworks,” said the association president, Mrs. Lenore Hammond. “And its in the tradition of the liberty bell.”
