: SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1968 Deputy Ambassador Locke Resigns Post; War Moves to Coast THlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ?AGE THREE By The Associated Press] Eugene M. Locke, former am- bassador to Pakistan and deputy ambassador to South Vietnam, announced in Austin, Texas, yes- terday that he plans to resign his post and run for the Texas governor's chair. The announcement came while! battle action below the demilitar- ized zone in Vietnam shifted to the coastal sector manned by South Vietnamese troops. The 49 year old wealthy DallasI lawyer announced his political ^! aim at a news conference at ,the same time the White Housel reported Locke's resignation from the Vietnam post. Locke -said he felt with the 'im- proved situation' in Vietnam he could "appropriately leave Viet-, nam, and the President has! agreed." There were frequent hints but' no confirmation during Locke's news conference that he will enter the May 4 Democratic primary with the blessings of Gov. John Connally and possibly of Presi- dent Johnson. Connally is notf seeking a fourth term, but one of his brothers will act as Locke's campaign manger. Bunker's TeamI Locke said he spent 10 months in Pakistan as ambassador then was asked by the President "to form a part of the new team with Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker in1 Vietnam." He said during the nine months in Vietnam "we have held villaget and hamlet elections . . . presi- dential and vice presidential elections, and elections to the newly created Senate and lower world News house. All this has been done in the middle of a war and with every effort of the Viet Cong to disrupt the elections. I am proud of the accomplishments of our team. I am proud of the ac- complishments of our fighting men . . . Under the able leader- ship of Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and Gen. William C. Westmoreland, I am confident these accomplishments will con- tinue." Expect Offensive Below the DMZ, where the al- lies expect a Communist offen- sive soon, government foces re- ported they killed 73 Commun- ist soldiers and captured 11 in two brief, sharp firefights that cost them light casualties. One clash developed just south- east. of Gip Linh, the right flank outpost of the United States Ma- rines. The other flared northeast of Quang Tri City, the capital of South Vietnam's northern-mostI province. The Marines, backed by artil- lery and helicopter gunships, had borne the brunt of operations earlier against North VietnameseE units they believed to be moving into positions for a big push be-' fore next weekend. They trapped a detachment of about 200 of Hanoi's regulars Thursday near the Marine out- post at Con Thien and said theyl killed 162. Eight Marines were re- poted killed and 39 wounded. I Souces at Marine headquarterst in Da Nang have forecast theI Communists will launch a border offensive before midnight next Friday - the opening hour the Viet Cong have proposed for a week long truce for Tet - and then use the truce to build upa manpower and supplies. The allies aren't buying the idea of a seven day cease fire, but expect to halt offensive op-' erations for 48 hours over the Vietnamese holiday that will at- tend the arival Jan. 30 of Tet, the lunar new year. In other war news yesterday, Radio Peking said Red China's air force shot down 'a pilotless U.S. reconnaissance plane over North Vietnam. Such planes are little radio contolled drones, ordinarily lessi than three feet high, that carry cameras to nicture terrain.

ADAMay Split Over McCarthy speedily. Fulbright Cheers The effectiveness of Johnson's action in moving a comparative outsider into the thankless job of running the Pentagon was demonstrated when the appoint- ment of Clifford was greeted with cheers by both Sens. J. W. Ful- bright (D-Ark.) and Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.). Russell, who heads the Armed Services group and is considered the leader of the Vietnam hawks, predicted an outstanding career for the nominee in his new post. He said Clifford is thoroughly familiar with defense and intel- ligence problems. But Fulbright and Clifford, both Burning Tree Club golfers and friends for more than 20 years, are at home with each other in the kind of intellectual discussion both enjoy. They may differ but there is not likely to be any significant misunderstand- ing between them. Clifford is well known to many members of Congress and is not likely to be trapped into the kind of acrimonious exchanges with congressional " committeemen in which M c N a m a r a sometimes found himself. Sen. John L. McClellan (D- Ark.), who has fought for years with McNamara over the multi- WASHINGTON (R) - The lib- eral turmoil over Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy's challenge to President Johnson is boiling toward a cli- max that threatens to shatter an alliance hammered together 20 years ago. A pro-Johnson union leader predicts labor members will march out of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action if the ADA endorses McCarthy in his con- frontation with Johnson over the Vietnam war. The upheaval within the ADA exemplifies-and some say mag- nifies-the stresses and strains within liberal ranks over the war and the Johnson-McCarthy con- test. Opposite Camps It puts friends who have worked together for a score of years into opposite camps or leaves them uncomfortable straddling fences. Washington 1a w y e r Joseph Rauh Jr., an ADA vice chairman who once headed the Democratic committee in the nation's capi- tal, says there will be a move at the special ADA board meeting Feb. 10-11 to put the organiza- tion on record as endorsing Mc- Carthy. "There will be a motion to en- dorse McCarthy and sthen there will be a brawl," says Rauh, a McCarthy supporter. "It could be a perfectly happy meeting," Rauh added in an in- terview, "if it weren't for the la- tent threat of the Johnson crowd to walk out." Galbraith The ADA board, ,with dovish Harvard professor John Kenneth Galbraith as national chairman, numbers about 150. A showdown would involve such figures as I. W. Abel, president of the United Steelworkers of America, Walter P. Reuther, United Automobile Workers pres- ident, Sen. Wayne Morse (D- Ore.), historian and former White House aide Arthur M. Schles- inger Jr.; Richard Goodwin, for- mer assistant and speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy and for President Johnson, and civil rights leader Bayard Rustin. Working to rally Johnson sen- timent is Gus Tyler, assistant president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. Rauh calls Tyler a "hatchet man" for the White House. Tyler grins at this. He says he also tried to keep, or bring, lib- erals in line for Harry S. Tru- man and John F. Kennedy. "If you want to call it hatchet man," he says, "I'll take credit for it down the line." Tyler figures the McCarthy people have a 50-50 chance of winning an endorsement for their man. Clark Clifford FI I ____-______ li' ---l Roundup By The Associated Press e I ' .'" E '; ,!
