them young people. He told the
gathering he had come because
he needs their help.
"This is going to be a hard
and difficult campaign," he said.
"There are great problems and
great divisions facing the United
States."
The nation's political leaders
responded to President Johnson's
decision not to seek re-election
with praise for his courage and
desire for peace and with tenta-
tive and uncertain reassessments
of the 1968 presidential race.
Most of them were caught un-
aware by the surprise announce-
ment, just like the man in the
street.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York said he was "surprised
and shocked" at Johnson's an-
nouncement.
Asked by newsmen whether this
would mean a change in his own
pl'esidential plans, the Republi-
can governor said:
"Decisions made in haste us-
ually prove to be wrong decisions."
Mayor Richard J. Daley of
Chicago has asked for a brief halt
to campaign activities to allow the
President to unite the country
but the Chicago Daily News said
the powerful Democratic leader
may use the time to devise stra-
tegy for supporting Kennedy.
Daley talked with newsmen as
he awaited the President's arrival
at O'Hara International Airport.
"There should be," Daley said,
"a cessation for a few days to give
the President an opportunity to
unite the country and to give the
country an honorable and just
peace."
The Daily News reported it
talked with top allies of Daley
who said the mayor is ready to
throw Illinois' 118 convention
votes to Kennedy.
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON (R) -Top U.S.
officials foresee more hard fight-
ing ahead in Vietnam before a de-
cisive answer can be expected
from Hanoi on President John-
son's new bombing halt bid to
get peace talks started.
The initial reaction from North
Vietnam is likely to be negative,
officials said, but Johnson has put
no time limit on his partial sus-
pension of air attacks against
North Vietnam. He is said to be
prepared to wait for a reasonable
time for President Ho Chi Minh
to consider his proposal, officials
announced Sunday night.
Johnson's decision to halt all
bombing except for major infil-
tration routes is attributed to a
belief in the administration that
the Vietnamese war may be in a
climactic stage. If this view is cor-
rect, then after further hard
fighting the North Vietnamese
may be prepared to go into nego-
tiations and seek a compromise
settlement of the conflict.
Several top officials checked by
the Associated Press said privately
that Johnson did not decide to
make his move at this time be-
cause of any secret show of in-
terest from Hanoi in making a
deal now.
In announcing Sunday night
that he was stopping air strikes
against most of North Vietnam,
Johnson called on Britain and the
Soviet Union to do everything
within their power to arrange
peace talks, and Monday the Brit-
ish government began sounding
out Moscow on possible action.
British Foreign Secretary Mi-
chael Stewart conferred with So-
viet Ambassador Mikhail N. Smir-
novsky on Johnson's proposal.
But a dispatch distributed by
the Soviet news agency Tass call-
ed Johnson's peace move a ma-
neuver that ignored North Viet-
nam's long-standing demand for
an unconditional end to all bomb-
ing attacks an other acts of war
against its territory.
Johnson said in his speech to
the nation that the cessation of
bombing could be made complete
if President Ho Chi Minh would
now take some reciprocal action to
scale down the fighting but that
he could not "in good conscience
stop all bombing so long as to do
so would immediately and direct-
ly endanger the lives of our men
and our allies."
He was referring to the fact
that heavy concentrations of
North Vietnamese troops are op-
erating in the border area close
to South Vietnam, particularly in
the regions opposite the Marine
position at Khe Sanh and other
U.S. and allied outposts in the
northern region of South Vietnam.
The administration view that
the conflict has entered a cli-
mactic stage arises from the re-
sults of the Communist-spring
offensive which was launched at
the end of January against the
cities and towns of South Viet-
nam. Officials feel that while the
offensive inflicted a partial de-
feat on the United States and
South Vietnam, it was a defeat
also for the Communists.
Resting on this analysis, offi-
cials said that they believe that
Hanoi might draw the conclusion,
especially if it suffers further re-
verses, that the ,war cannot be
won by their military operations
and that a negotiated settlement
should therefore be tried.
Some authorities here, however,
believe that in determining its own
futuir plans the North Vietnamese
government may give greater
weight to Johnson's announce-
ment that he will not run for
re-election than to his proposal
for de-escalating the war and
starting talks.
DETROIT (R)P - A group of
black nationalists ratified a dec-1
laration of independence for a]
proposed separate Negro nation
Sunday, then elected a fugitive
expatriot as its first president.
The president, Robert F. Wil-
liams, 42, has been in Peking,
China, the last two years. He fled
the United States for Cuba in late1
1961 after being charged, with
four other men, with kidnaping
a white couple during a racial dis-
turbance in Monroe, N.C., in 1960.
Renounce Citizenship -
About 50 delegates to the black+
nationalist meeting reportedly +
signed the declaration of inde-
pendence, an act which the meet-
ing's sponsor said meant they re-
nounced their U.S. citizenship.
The sponsoring organization is
the Malcolm X Society and the
black nationalists elected as sec-?
ond vice president of their gov-
ernment Mrs. Betty Shahbazz, wi-
dow of Malcolm X, the Negro
leader shot to death in New York
by three Negro men.
Elect Attorney
The black nationalist conven-
tion elected Joan Franklin, an at-
torney and member of the New
York legal staff of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, as minister of
justice.
In another Detroit meeting,
Negro militants announced yes-
terday plans for a conference on
Negro "defense and survival" in
the event of civil disorders this
summer.
"Black people must begin to
make preparation for any even-
tuality," the group said. "Our
people cannot just sit by and
wait."
Cleage said the meeting would
include representatives of De-
troit's "medical community."
In a prepared statement, the
CCAC said the preparations would
be discussed April 21 at a Black
Unity Day rally in Detroit's Cobo
Arena. Among those invited to
participate, Cleage said, are New
York Congressmen Adam Clayton
Powell and Floyd McKis sick,
chairman of the Congress of Ra-
cial Equality.
The organization said defense
and survival will be the theme of
the rally.
"Black people must be aw
of a potential threat to their cc
munity and of steps to take in
event that threat materializ
Cleage said.
He said factors that could
off trouble were "excessive sao
piling of armaments by police
white citizens and the increaa
aggressiveness of the Detroit
lice force."
"These white people in the s
urbs are so worked up with f
by the white racist rumor m
gers about imaginary invasioni
their communities by blacks t
they are likely to do anything
including an armed invasion
black communities," Cleage a
