South Viet candidates puzzled

By Daniel Southerland , SAIGON UPI — The ruling military junta’s rivals in South Vietnam’s presidential election today claimed the generals sabotaged their barnstorming tour. The civilian candidates gleefully set out together early Sunday on a month-long tour arranged by the generals. They came home furious nine hours later. They had net no voters, made no speeches and shook hands only with puzzled U. S. Marines. “We have the feeling that they don’t want us to go campaigning,” one of the candidates, Vo Hong Khanh, said about Chief of State Gen. Nguyen Van Thieuand, Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, the army’s candidates for president and vice president. “This is really a sabotage of the election,” he said. Thieu and Ky organized the tour to take the group, which included eight presidential and 10 vice presidential candidates, to 22 spots around the country. The generals arranged for the group to use an Air Force plane since guerrillas more than heckle South Vietnamese politicians on the stump. Thieu and Ky decided to sit out the tour. After all, political experts picked them almost as shoo-in win: ers in the Sept. 3 voting, what with the backing of the 600,000-man South Vietnamese army. "They agreed in advance to play this trick on us,” fumed Ha Thuc Ky, one of the furious candidates who came back to Saigon’s Tan Son Nhut airport hot, tired, dirty, hungry and angry. Their plane had been sched-

uled to make its first stop at the northern provincial capital of Quang Tri. About 1,000 local voters had gathered for the rallly in broiling sun. They waited in vain. The C47 transport, too big to land at the local air strip, set down seven miles to the north at Bong Ha. The candidates got a bleak welcome. “There was no transportation and nobody to greet us. Just wind and sand,” growled one candidate.

LaPorte County girl drowns LA _ ORTE UPI — Brenda Lee Clark, 8, of rural Rolling Prairie in LaPorte County drowned Sunday afternoon at Stone Lake Beach in LaPorte. State police said she was with relatives on an outing at the beach. They said an unidentified woman stepped on the child in two feet of water near the shore where lifeguards later recovered her. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Clark, Rolling Prairie.

A handful of U. S. Marines were on hand. So were three trucks that gave evidence that their earlier cargoes had been garbage. A strong wind shipped dust into the candidates’ faces as they hopped off the plane. “We can’t go to Quang Tri on those trucks,” said candidate Nguyen Dinh Quat, a wealthy man. Fellow candidate Phan Quang Dan, a doctor, sniffed the vehicles and said, “Those are trucks to transport dirt.”

By Louis Cassels WASHINGTON UPI — Two rival Communist groups—bitter enemies of each other—are making an all-out effort to gain a foothold in the black power movement. Neither has had much success to date, according to highly reliable soureves. The rival Red factions are the “official” Communist party U.S.A. which gets its line from Moscow, and the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM), which looks to Peking for guidance. The Communist party has been trying for years to infiltrate U. S. Negro organizations and to win Negro recruits into its own membership. It has even installed a Negro, Henry Winston, as its nominal head in a bid to convince Negroes that it is “their” party. But the FBL which long ago achieved virtually total penetration of the Communist apparatus has reported to congressional committees that the party have very few Negro members and negligible influence in big Negro organizations. The party is still making frantic efforts, however, to identify itself with Negro unrest and to claim for big city riots. Two of the principal centers of this activity are the people’s voice book stores in the Watts section of Los Angeles and in New York’s Harlem. They distributed inflammatory literature urging Negroes to rise in armed rebellion. A typical handbill picked up in Harlem recently urges Negroes to “support and join people’s armed defense groups. '‘Oppose the reactionary violence of the ruling class with the revolutionary violence of the people,” It says. “People’s armed defense groups are being organized by the Communist party U. S. A.” The revolutionary action movement is still small—the best available intelligence indicates it presently has only a few hundred members—but it is regarded as potentially danger-

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has described RAM as “a highly secret, all Negro, MarxistLeninist, Chinese Communistoriented organization” which is dedicted to the violent overthrown of the U. S. government and which “advocates guerrilla warfare” by urban Negroes.

Ghana Embassy has costly auto WASHINGTON UPI — The Ghana embassy is trying to sell a 547,275 limousine, that makes James Bond’s gadget-laden car look like the family stationwagon. The limousine, which was custom-made for Ghana’s desposed president, Kwame Nkrumah, is equipped with air conditioning, an AM-FM radio, television set, bar, refrigerator, writing desk, dictating machine, bullet proof glass, hidden gun compartment, retractable steps for bodyguards, and a backseat telephone for communicating with the driver. Presently, the car is gathering dust in a public garage near the embassy. Nkrumah ordered the car in 1965 from Hess A Eisenherdt of Cincinnati, Ohio, which makes limousines for American presidents. He paid nearly the entire price in advance, but was ousted in a military coup before the limousine was ready. Now, he is in exile in Guinea-where he has learned to drive a car. Ghana’s military government says he no longer has any claim to the limousine. And the eco-nomy-minded generals in Accra say they do not want it either. The embassy is not fussy about potential customers-be they millionaires, the mafia or another country’s president. “We just want our money, that’s all,” an embessy spokesman said.

The panel, in a report released during the weekend, warned the Johnson administration that it must assume full responsibility for any further delays in setting up an atiballistic missile (ABM) defense. Sen. Richard B. Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the military appropriations subcommittee, also urged deployment of an ABM network in an interview. Both Russell and the Appropriations Committee referred to a report by the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee that China might be capable of mounting a nuclear attack against the United States in the early 1970s. There is no rationale for delaying deployment, Russell said, since it appears that nuclear missiles will soon be available to China “which is regarded as a ‘mad dog’ among nations.” The appropriations committee said it was unaware of “any successes” in the negotiations with Russia through which President Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara hope to secure agreement curbing development of ABM systems. The panel said that furthermore, “The decision on the deployment of the antiballistic missile system cannot rest on any bilateral agreements reached with the Soviet Union.

SOUTH 4KQJ2 VA ♦ A 4AKQ J1073 The bidding: South West North East 4 NT 5 4 Pass 6 4 6 4 Pass Pass. Dble Opening lead — king of diamonds. I have it on excellent authority—M. Harrison-Gray, famous British expert, is my source — that the deal shown actually occurred in a pair championship many years ago. There is no use saying that hands such as the one held by South are never dealt because the players who participated in the tournament would testify to the contrary. South opened with four notrump. He was planning to bid a grand slam if his partner showed one ace in response to the Blackwood call. But South was playing against highly active opponents.

By the time it was his turn to bid again, East-West were in six hearts. Reluctant to double and settle for a small penalty, and realizing that he could not make seven clubs because the opponents were sure to have the spade ace. South now bid an imaginative six spades. It seemed to him that on the bidding North would have some spade length. When East doubled, South stood firmly behind his decision and passed. West led the king of diamonds and South was now home. He won with the ace and led the K-Q-J of trumps, East holding up the ace until the third round. East returned a diamond and declarer ruffed it with his last trump. South then led the ace of hearts, ruffed it in dummy, drew East’s last trump, and ran his clubs to bring home the extraordinary slam. It is true that West could have beaten the slam had he led a club instead of a diamond, but this should not detract from the credit due South for his bold bid. South might have been carted off in an ambulance if it had turned out that North was short of spades, but he took the position that six hearts doubled was bound to produce a poor matchpoint result and that he therefore had little to lose by his seemingly dangerous bid.

HONG KONG UPI — Chinese Communist party leader Mao Tse-tung’s fanatic supporters today claimed to have wiped out Russian armored units on the frontier and opened public show trials of foes at home. The reports came from Peking after Mao’s chief publication, the magazine Red Flag, admitted his “cultural revolution” w r as in deep trouble. A Japanese correspondent in Peking said Maoist Red Guard posters in Peking claimed the annihilation of units of the Soviet 1st Cavalry Division. The posters said the battle broke out “the past few days" in the Yili area of Sinkaing-Uighur autonomous region. The posters said the Russians had crossed the border into China. There has been no official statement on such fighting. Both sides keep large armies in the area. Border clashes recently have been reported. Shanghai Radio, the pro-Mao voice in Communist China’s largest city, broadcast news of the public kangaroo court trials of anti-Mao elements. It said “bad elements” were being tried, with ordinary citizens apparently doing the prosecuting. “In order to maintain social order and protect the revolutional new order and to let the Shanghai municipal revolutionary committee effectively use

its power, many districts of the city have been holding public trials in which some hooligans, thieves, gangsters and other elements are punished according to the law,” the broadcast said. It said the accused “stole, carried out speculative activities, took money and property, raped women, killed people . . .” but Shanghai Radio left no doubt Mao’s struggle to wipe out party, government and military opponents was at the core. It said the trials “must consolidate the proletarian dictatorship.” Red Flag said the trials are part of Mao’s fight against such foes as President Liu Shao-Chi. The roadcast made no men- ; tion of the large scale fighting reported recently in the city be- ! tween anti-Mao and pro-Mao factions. Shanghai Radio report-

ed the kidnaping of 20 pro-Mao leaders in the area. It has never announced what happened to them after they were seized by anti-Mao factory workers. Mao s radio and press organs pumped out more appeals for loyalty to the aging leader. They reported big rallies in Peking and in other cities includWuhan, the central China city where the military was reported in full rebellion. But Red Flag reported in its betwecn-the-lines fashion the woes of Mao. The latest issue said, “Th® bourgeoist class (anti-Mao faction) has quite big powers in the military ... if we do not destroy the bourgeoist headquarters hidden in the establishment of the proletarian dictatorship, the whole party and state will one day change color.”
