SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGlE THEE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1967 'IliE MICHIGAN DAILY PAnE THREE a rave auava u a,, orth WASHINGTON (A')-Adm. U.S. Grant Sharp has provided the first official, undisputed confir- mation that North Vietnamese troops attack American forces from sanctuaries in Cambodia. In May 1966 the Pentagon pub- licly contradicted a high Army officer who made a similar state- ment., The United States had avoided making an issue with Cambodia over Communist infiltration of its borders. Cambodia professes neu- trality in the Vietnam war. Senate Testimony Sharp, commander-in-chief, Pa- cific, told the Senate preparedness investigating subcommittee: "We have known for quite a long time that there are various regiments that operate back and forth in South Vietnam and back into Cambodia when the heat is on them. They use Cambodia as a sanctuary." Sharp's estimate of how many North Vietnamese troops are in- volved was deleted by Pentagon censors before his testimony, of Aug. 9-10, was released Wednes- day. There was nothing in his re- marks, however, to indicate he disagreed with an estimate given by Army Maj. Gen. Stanley R. Larson in a Pentagon news con- ference May 27, 1966. 10,000 Men Larson, commander of U.S. forces in central South Vietnam at the time, said then that an estimated four to six regiments involving perhaps 10,000 men were massed just inside Cambodia's border with South Vietnam. The same day Larson offered his estimate, which he said was based on prisoner interrogations and reports from other sources, the Pentagon issued a statement knocking it down. The Pentagon said there was "no evidence strong enough" to confirm the presence of any North Vietnamese regiment in Cambodia. 'Lies' Cambodia, in turn, described Larson's comments as "lies." Under questioning by the Sen- ate subcommittee, Adm. Sharp said "the evidence continues that these outfits are there. We carry it as deleted and they go back and forth, a regiment at a time . . ." The Pentagon, asked about the C a m b o d i a situation yesterday would say only that "North Viet- namese troops are believed to cross the ill-defined border be- tween South Vietnam and Cam- bodia fairly frequently." It is understood the U.S. govern- ment does not wish to publicly accuse Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia's chief of state, of in- ability or unwillingness to patrol his country's boundaries against Communist infiltration.

U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, in an immediate reply to Gromyko's major address in the U.N. General Assembly, called on: the Soviet Union to "put my gov-4 ernment's profession to the test" and begin a dialogue leading to ai political solution.1 He decried what he said were+ Gromyko's "ritualistic name call- ing" and "very stale and totallyi false charges."

Escobedo, 29, was charged spe- cifically with the sale of 11.32 grams of heroin to a federal nar- cotics agent on Aug. 3. WASHINGTON - The nations first system designed to intercept missile-carried nuclear bombs will consists of 15 to 20 antimissile complexes throughout the United States. Announcing a few details about the antiballistic missile ABM de- fense, the Pentagon said Friday each antimissile missile will cost roughly $1 million. The number of missiles planned for the system was not announced. CHICAGO - James R. Hoffa, Teamster Union president, was sentenced yesterday for the sec- ond time to five years in prison and fined $10,000 on a 1964 con- viction of fraud and conspiracy involving the multimillion-dollar union pension fund. The sentencing judge said the five-year term is to run consecu- tively with the eight-year term which Hoffa presently is serving in the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa., for jury tampering in Chat- tanooga, Tenn. * * * WASHINGTON-A U.S. spokes- man said Friday that "unneces- sarily severe police measures" ap- Gromyko accused the United States of "trying to delude people by making all kinds of tranquil- lizing statements." Each new U.S. peace initiative, he contended, "turns out to be a soap bubble intended either for domestic or external consumption." Goldberg's speech to the As- sembly Thursday, which U.S. sources designed to be con- ciliatory, contained nothing new, Gromyko said. "Those whose armed forces have invaded Vietnam have no inten- tion of getting out," he said, and even a halt in the bombing of North Vietnam is "contingent upon ultimative demands." He said that "peace may be brought about in Vietnam solely as a result of the withdrawal of the aggressors." In his reply, Goldberg told the assembly that the main purpose in his speech Thursday was "to open the way for a dialogue lead- ing toward peace." The United States, he said, hoped to encourage all parties to the conflict in Vietnam to assume their responsibilities, and "we made clear that the United States would not shirk its own responsi- bilities." Goldberg noted that, with Brit- ain, the Soviet Union is co-chair- man of the Geneva Conference on Indochina and that it can be convened only with Soviet con- sent. He added that Britain has long been willing to reconvene and Roundup conference.

Since then there have been reports of his appearance in several other countries and also speculation that he was dead. The Bolivian foreign minister said his government will handle its guerrilla problem and does not want OAS military intervention, but it does favor Venezuela's pro- posals. Johnson President Johnson, addressing the 21-nation gathering of Organ- ization of American States min- isters, compared the "virulent form of subversion directed from Havana" with North Vietnam's drive against South Vietnam.

"Mu- tual support by neighboring coun- tries strengthens their ability to deal with indirect aggression." The President said, however, that the best long-term guarantee against subversive threat from Premier Fidel Castro's Communist regime lies in the Alliance for Progress program of hemisphere economic and social development. With that, Johnson signed a Congress-passed authorization for $900 million more for the Inter- American Bank for the next three years, a $150-million-a-year in- crease. Equador's Julio Plado Vallejo complained of trade disadvant. ages which he said the less-de- veloped countries face. He called for better trade and aid terms as the best way to wipe out poverty- stricken breeding grounds for Cas- tro communism. yeserd a e pg question is whether the war is worth the price. "I say it is," he declared. Johnson's remarks were pre- pared for an audience of the heads of some 300 national fra- ternal organizations. The Soviet official also did not reply to Goldberg's question as to what Hanoi's allies would do to promote a peaceful solution in Vietnam if the bombings were stopped.
