THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TEMER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Canada Asks As Prelude to Bomb Halt Morton Hits 2 President's I SBILLION PACKAGE: House Balks at Administration Non-Military Spending Request Viet eace War Policy Says Mutual Action Must End Conflict UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () - Canadian Foreign Secretary Paul Martin warned yesterday that ef- forts to open negotiations to end the war in Vietnam are "doomed to failure" unless the United States halts its bombing of North Vietnam. In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Martin said that a ces- sation of the bombing "is a mat- ter of first priority if we are to start the process of de-escalation and to open the door to the con- ference room." At the same time, Martin told the 122-nation assembly that a halt in the U.S. bombing was "only one side of the military equation." 'Hope of Success' "We cannot proceed, if we are to have any hope of success," he said, "as if the other side did not exist." He pledged Canada's continued efforts through the International Control Commission on Indo- china-India and Poland are the other commission members - to help "to lead the parties to the conflict in Vietnam to the con- ference table and to assist in every way to achieve the estab- lishment of an equitable peace in Vietnam." In another speech to the As- sembly, Argentine Foreign Minis- ter Nicanor Costa Mendez called for active UN participation in the search for peace in Southeast Asia. UN Involvement It is unreasonable, he said, "to contend that the international or- ganization, could remain alien to such an obvious case of a breach of both peace and security." Both Canada and Argentina are members of the UN Security Council, which discussed the Vietnam war without success in early 1966. Martin threw cold water on the possibility of any UN involvement. He pointed out that some of the key parties to the war are not represented here, and contended that "the great powers are di- vided on the causes of the con- flict and the measures required to terminate it." World New LAGOS, Nigeria-Nigerian forces shelled the Biafran capital, Enugu, after capturing three towns close to it, a high Nigerian federal army source said Wednesday night. People were reported leaving the secessionist capital as the federal army moved closer against stiff resistance, he added. A broadcast earlier In the day from Radio Nigeria said the troops were moving their artillery within range. The Lagos broadcast told of con- fusion in Enugu as residents fled the city despite repeated Biafra radio pleas to fight "house to house, street by street." LA PAZ, Bolivia-The Bolivian army announced yesterday that Roberto "Coco" Peredo, Bolivian guerrilla leader, was one of three rebels killed Tuesday in a gun- fight with federal troops. The other two men were iden- tified as "Antonio," believed to be a Cuban, and "Julio," believed to be a Bolivian.

Morton. a foi mer Republican national chairman who previously backed Johnson's Vietnam policy, told a newly formed group of anti-war businessmen at the United States should temporarily halt its bombing of North Viet- nam in a new bid for peace talks. Enclave Theory He also urged halting all "search and destroy" missions and with- drawing U.S. forces to metropoli- tan areas. That proposal, he said, is in general agreement with the enclave theory long advanced by retired Army Gen. James E. Gavin. Shoudt those steps fail, Morton said following his speech to Busi- ness Executives Move for Vietnam Peace, the United- States could point the finger of blame for the fighting on the North Vietnamese.

By The Associated Press Meets Today It will meet again, probably to- day, to take another look at the situation, with the Saturday mid- night deadline in mind and the Senate still to act. A parliamentary situation pre- vented the House from considering the Republican-backed reduction plan yesterday. The next time the temporary fi- nancing bill comes to the House, the parliamentary situation may permit a vote on the reduction plan. All 168 Republicans on hand Egyptian and Israeli forces pounded each other with artillery, tank and machine-gun fire across the Suez-Canal cease-fire line yes- terday in a seven-hour duel. Each side accused the other for starting it. The Israeli army claimed Egyp- tian gunners ignored six cease-fire calls from UN observers in the battle that ranged along a 75-mile front from El Qantara to Port Suez. It was the ninth clash across the canal this month. Explosives were found last eve- o omcnng or a Egyptians Engage nded Suez Fighting WASHINGTON (;P) - Military- civilian differences over North Vietnam bombing sharpened yes- terday as the war problem drew critical discussion in Washington. The controversy whirled around these developments: -Secretary of Defense. Robert S. McNamara reiterated his stand against attacking the Communist port of Haiphong, major entry point for Soviet aid: "A risk I don't believe we should under- take at this time." -Newly released congressional testimony placed Gen. Earle G. Wheeler. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at odds with the administration's decision making Haiphong a sanctuary from U.S. bombs. --Secretary of State Dean Rusk challenged North Vietnam yester- day to meet American peace over- tures and pledged he would go anywhere in the world for talks. "We shall not stand on ceremony or worry about saving face," Rusk told the American Banker's Asso- ciation. "It's not a question of rs Roundup was Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Ar- gentine-born insurrectionist long allied with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro.

At the same time usually stable index of wholesale industrial prices rose significantly. saving face, it's a question of saving South Vietnam." -Denmark's Prime Minister1 Jens Otto Krag told the National Press Club in Washington the United States should "run a lim- ited risk" and stop the air attacks; to see whether negotiations might follow. In its search for peace in Viet- nam, the United States set no pre- conditions and "will talk directly1 or through intermediaries," Rusk said. "If someone would produce a real live North Vietnamese some- where in the world for me to talk to, I would be there." McNamara, before leaving Wash- ington for a NATO nuclear meet-' ing in Turkey, discounted once again the extent of the military men's differences with the John- son administration over conduct of the war. The Pentagon chiefs, in low- .ey remarks, portrayed Wheeler's testimony as "a balanced appraisal of the potential risks and gains" of raiding Haiphong while Soviet chips may be docked unloading supplies. But Wheeler, in comments given Aug. 16 to a closed hearing of the Senate preparedness subcommit- tee. asserted that after considering all factors, "I have come down on the side that we could undertake actions against the port of Hai- phong." The four-star general said that if Haiphong were neutralized and Soviet war shipments halted, he believes an end to the war might come relatively soon. Wheeler was not more specific with a projection of the war's duration but he said if Soviet aid to the Hanoi regime were halted "any sizeable conflict would be impossible for the North Vietnam- ese and the Viet Cong."

The Egyptians claimed they de- stroyed a battery each of medium artillery and antiaircraft guns, a number of military vehicles and a command post. Israel reported Egypt shelled a train on the east bank of the deserted waterway, killing one crewman and wounding two. Egypt charged that Israeli shells scored direct hits on 20 slum dis- strict buildings and a railway sta- tion in Ismailia, midway on the 107-mile canal. In another development, an Is- raeli army spokesman in Tel Aviv said two Israeli border policemen and two El Fatah terrorists were killed in gun battles near Tulkarm in Israeli-occupied Jordan yester- day. He said three terrorists were captured after two separate clash- es as troopers pursued saboteurs who blew up a house in an eastern Israeli kibbutz Monday, killing a boy and wounding his parents. Two of the captured men con- fessed they had planted the charge at Kibbutz Ometz near the old Jordan-Israel border, the spokes- man said.
