Eugene J. McCarthy, speaking on Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's home ground said yesterday that some Ameri- can political leaders aren't speak- ing their minds. The Minnesota Democrat named nobody in his speech, prepared for a group of his New York back ers called "Coalition for a Dem- ocratic Alternative." The statewide conference of the coalition endorsed McCarthy yes- terday as a Democratic alterna- tive to the renomination of John- son. McCarthy has complained re- peatedly recently that liberals have not rallied to his challenge of President Johnson for the Dem-I ocratic presidential nomination. Kennedy has been critical of Johnson's Vietnam policy, but has said he expects Johnson to be re- nominated and intends to support him.

The new U.S. postal rates do go into effect today, but most people won't have to resort to taping a penny on their envelopes along with their old, unused five-cent stamps. The new six-cent stamps and one-centers to go with the old five-centers should be available in the post offices beginning to- morrow morning. Along with the one cent raise for first class mail, air-mail rates have been raised from eight to ten cents per ounce. Johnson Begins New Inqurties To Determine Hanoi's Sincerty Surveyor 7 To Analyze Moon'sSsoil CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. IFP') - Seeking clues to the origin of the moon, America's last unmanned lunar probe, Surveyor 7. was scheduled for launching early to- day toward a risky soft landing in the rugged highlands north of the Crater Tycho. An Atlas Centaur rocket was set to blast off in a favorable period between 12:55 a.m. and 3:12 a.m. EST to start the 2,888 pound pay- load on an intended 65-hour, 244, 360 mile journey. 29th Moon Shot If all goes well, Surveyor 7 will touch down gently Tuesday night and begin exploring one of the roughest spots on the moon with a television camera, a small scoop shovel to dig trenches up to 18 inches deep, a miniature chemistry lab to analyze the soil and magnets to hunt metallic material. Surveyor is the 29th U.S. moon shot in slightly more than nine years. The first 12 failed but 13 of the last 16 were successful. The next U.S. lunar explorer should be man himself, perhaps in 1969. Landing Site Four of the previous six Sur- veyors successfully soft landed and verified that the four primary astronaut landing sites are safe for manned expeditions. So the National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to use the final Survey or, No. 7, to study an area of high scientific interest. The highlands of Tycho were se- lected because they appear to be geologically different from the re- latively smooth Apollo landing re- gions, which are in a narrow band across the lunar equator. The Tycho crater was created by the impact of a huge meteor. The debris scattered in the crash is expected to produce different soil characteristics in the Tycho area from those discovered in previously explored Mare areas. ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (R)- Protesting the Vietnamese war, 300 students hanged President Johnson in effigy and shouted # "Johnson is a murderer" as they waited yesterday on the Ethiopian University campus for Vice Presi- dent Hubert H. Humphrey to come and address them. Humphrey, who had made a major address earlier in Africa Hall decrying congressional cuts in U.S. foreign aid, was delayed by a meeting with Emperor Haile Se- lassie and cancelled plans to ap- pear. Express Anger The waiting students expressed anger and disappointment when they were told Humphrey would not speak. "Why did he chicken out?" one student asked a group of news- men. "Because the Yankees are afraid of us," another student replied. Mesfin Habtu, secretary general of the Addis Ababa University Students' Union, said: "We are very disappointed the vice presi- dent is not coming. We had no in- tention of making a violent dem- onstration. We just wanted him to know how we felt." Demand Withdrawal The students carried dozens of homemade signs attacking the U.S. role in Vietnam and demanding an American withdrawal from the Kagnew communications base at Asmara in the Ethiopian province of Eritrea. The signs included "Yankees pull out of Vietnam before you meet your Dien Bien Phu," "Down with the CIA" and "American hands are red with the blood of Vietnamese children." None of the signs was directed against Hum- phrey. American officials were notified 'Friday that the students planned a demonstration against the war when Humphrey appeared. U.S. Ambassador William O. Hall said the students later were invited to come into the embassy compound when Humphrey met officials and Peace Corps members. Habtu said the invitation did not reach the students waiting on the spkawling university grounds on the city's outskirts. It was not clear whether Hum- phrey was advised to stay away from the demonstration by his Secret Service escort. The official reason for cancellation of the campus visit was lack of time. Officials said the vice president was not aware a demonstration was planned. Humphrey's schedule was upset by a two-hour meeting with the emperor, twice as long as sched- uled. Officials said the emperor ex- pressed grave concern about the buildup of Soviet arms and in- fluence in neighboring Somalia and Sudan., Somalia, which has been promised $32 million in So-, viet arms, is the next stop on Humphrey's nine nation African tour. cries of "Resignation now. McCarthy said the war "is not supported by the decent opinion of mankind." It has "distorted" the economy and "frustrated the promise of the New Frontier and the Great Society," he said. In addition, he said the war has alienated the youth, "upon whom the future of our nation depends." It has, he said, "contributed to a vast malaise and distrust of gover- nment that is settling like a dark cloud over our whole society." The "coalition" also was ex- pected to discuss a possible "peaco" candidate as Democratic challen- ger to Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R- N.Y.). Preserve Balance Some U.S. officials apparently consider the threat of Arab re- armament less ominous than Israel does. On that basis, they think Johnson may do little more than give Eshkol assurances of American arms support if this is needed to preserve some sort of balance. Discussions may cover water desalting projects and assorted other subjects during the 22 hours Eshkol will be at the ranch. But officials see little prospect that anything definite or sub- stantive will develop. No com- munique is planned. SPOTLIGHT ON APARTHEID: Bitter Racial Overtones Cloud Success Of South African Heart Transplants Associated Press News Analysis WASHINGTON (P) -President Johnson's decision about halting the bombing of North Vietnam will turn mainly on his judgment as to whether this would start pro- ductive talks on a peaceful settle- ment of the war. This shaped up as the central question yesterday amid secret U.S. diplomatic inquiries into the meaning of Hanoi's new line about entering into negotiations. Pressures Mounting Pressures on Johnson to stop the air raids have been mounting, both domestically and abroad, since North Vietnam began saying last week that it will engage in talks if the bombing and other acts of war are halted unconditionally. Earlier Hanoi had been saying sucha halt could lead to negotia- tions. But Johnson's senior military and diplomatic advisers have cau- tioned against moving into a ne- gotiating situation in which North Vietnam would get a free exemp- tion from air attack without giv- ing up anything in return. Secret Channels So through secret diplomatic channels, U.S. strategists are try- ing to find out whether Hanoi intends a real peace feeler or just a propaganda ploy to cancel the air raids. Administration sources say the president will make his decision on the basis of what he deems to be the U.S. national interest, re- gardless of public or diplomatic pressures. And they said his basic yardstick will be what they term his rock-bottom offer in his San Antonio speech last Sept. 29. Johnson's San Antonio formula put forward three conditions for stopping U.S. air and naval attacks on North Vietnam: They would be halted when this would lead promptly to discussions, when the discussions would be pro- ductive and when the United States could assume that Hanoi would not take advantage of the bombing limitation to reinforce and re-supply its troop during talks. The first point is comparatively technical. The timing of the open- ing of talks could be simultaneous with a stop in the bombing, or negotiations could begin within an agreed period after the air attacks end. Deliberately Vague The third point has been kept deliberately vague to allow U.S. policymakers-and Hanoi-leeway. Washington wants something in return for a bombing halt, but its publicly expressed formula could be met through private assurances from North Vietnam or by an ac- tual holddown of Communist mil- itary operations or some other demonstration which U.S. author- ities consider acceptable. North Vietnam hitherto has shown no interest in negotiating with the United States on any topis except the departure of U.S. forces from Vietnam. And it has called for recognition of the Com- munist National Liberation Front as the government representing South Vietnam. If peace talks do come about both Hanoi and Washington are likely to encounter difficulty in reconciling any settlement with past public positions. This is one reason for the se- crecy which has surrounded the current U.S. diplomatic probe. And as yet, informed sources said, there has been no response from Hanoi. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (P)-A wave of bitterness and recrimination is building up around South Africa's pioneer heart transplants. Racial and financial aspects of the second Cape Town heart oper- ation are clouding the medical achievement. Some newspapers in this highly race conscious nation reacted angrily to comment overseas about the heart of colored-mulatto- Cleve Haupt, 24, being given to Philip Blaiberg, a 58-year-old white dentist. Perhaps most biting was an editorial in the Afrikaans lan- guage paper Die Transvaler, an organ of the ruling Nationalist party. "Just like a spider sucks its poison from a beautiful flower so will the liberalist seize on even the most noble deed to obtain po- litical venom from it," the paper said. "The fact the heart of a colored was transplanted In Cape Town on a white person has given the liberalistic press in America, Britain and elsewhere the oppor- tunity of sowing hatred and sus- picion against the republic." The columnist "Dawie" ,in the Cape Town Afrikaans newspaper Die Burger declared yesterday that reaction overseas was due to ignorance or malice. "How little these people know about us ... why do they say so much about the fact that a col- ored man's heart was transplant- ed into a white man while the transplanting of a black man's kidney into a white woman-here in Cape Town - caused so little comment." The English language press, which tends to oppose official apartheid segregation policies, took a different view. "That the second heart trans- plant operation at Groote Schuur Hospital should have evoked pointed allusions toour race poli- cies in the overseas press is not difficult to understand," said Johannesburg's Rand Daily Mail. The Star of Johannesburg Paid: "This is perhaps what the world finds so difficult to understand- that in spite of our crazy rigidi- ties, of our race imbecilities, of our seemingly endless lack of compassion, there is still suffi- cient flexibility, sufficient hu- manity left to meet the periodic challenge when it comes." Th e government - franchised South African Broadcasting Corp. barred Betty Lindsay, American wife of free-lance correspondent Gordon Lindsay, from its studios when she suggested during a re- cording session that South Africa might legislate against interracial transplant. South Africans were also dis- turbed by what they termed "checkbook journalism" practiced by competing U.S. television net- works. The National Broadcasting Co. obtained a c o u r t injunction against a photographer who, it contended, sneaked photographs of Blaiberg out of-"the hospital in violation of an exclusive agree- mpnt the network said it had with the patient. The photograph- er, Don MacKenzie, was reported ready to fight NBC in South Af- rican courts. Some South Africans are un- happy about suggestions from overseas that Dr. Christian N. Barnard, head of the transplant team, made personal appearances in the United States to raise money for Cape Town's heart re- search. Lionel Murray, chairman of Groote Schuur and of the Chris- tian Barnard Cardiac Research Fund, said yesterday: "Prof. Bar- nard's visit to the United States was a personal and professional one and had no motive connected with the fund." j- World News Roundup JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Hong Kong Star reported yester- -A 27 member medical team day. separated Siamese twins joined at Quoting "exclusive sources," the the head in a 5% hour operation Star said the team will include Saturday at Johannesburg's Chil- trade experts to advise Hong Kong dren's Hospital.
