TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 196'7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREP, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THRE1~ S. Vietnamese Elect 15 Radical Buddhists By The Associated Press SAIGON-Radical Buddhists op- posed to President-elect Nguyen Van Thieu nailed down at least 15 seats yesterday in the ballot tabulations for South. Vietnam's 137-member House of Represent-] atives. The House is the most powerful body in the new civilian-based government. Still incomplete tabulations gave Roman Catholic candidates 12 or possibly more seats while army of- ficers, who may or may not sup- port Thieu, had 15. Indications were that Thieu," himself a Cath- olic, could count on support from Catholic members on some issues but not on others. The Hoa Hao and Caot Dai reli- gious sects captured a handful of seats. Both these sects have tried to remain aloof from the war but in the past six months they began to slip into the government camp. There is no evidence, however, they support the present programs of the Thieu government. Both sects appears to be seeking to im- prove their own positions within the current constitutional frame- work. Thieu and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky will be inaugurated as presi- dent and vice president Oct. 31. Thieu then will appoint a premier, who- will serve largely as an ad- ministrator. The two military chiefs were elected along with a 60-member Senate on Sept. 3. The presidency has far less pow- er under the new constitution than does the president of the United States. Like the House, the Senate is splintered into a variety of polit- ical factions and U.S. diplomats, foresee difficulties ahead for Thieu if the new National Assembly does not break down into bodies with a simple government faction and an opposition. The -radical Buddhists of Thich Tri Quang apparently made some headway in Sunday's election for his attempt to lead his minority Buddhist faction back into a posi- tion of power after the failure last year of his street campaign to overthrow Premier Ky's military government. The monk's chief spokesman in the House is likely to be Prof. Ho' Huu Tuong, a former Trotskyite and neutralist barred from run- ning in the Senate race Sept. 3 because of his proneutralist views. He captured a seat from Saigon. One senior American diplomat predicted that because of the mul- tiplicity of political groups in both the upper and lower houses, legis- lation such as land reform prob- ably will go down. There were suggestions that possibly for years to come, the popularly elected government may work against the hoped for ideal of a broadly based political force with the necessary direction and energy to woo the peasants' loyal- ty away from the Communists. Thieu will take office not only without a clear majority loyal to him in both houses but without knowing where members stand on issues. The least organized and most confusing political force is the House, which under the constitu- tion is the most powerful single group in the new government. DEMAND RETALIATION: Israel Charges Soviets Aided Egypt in Sinking of Destroyer Auto Union May Strike G.M.C. Next Asks Better Working Conditions; Full Pay For UAW Stewards DETROIT (P) -- Speculation is growing that the United Auto Workers, with a contract won through a seven-week strike at Ford, will take on the giant of the manufacturing world - General: Motors-in its next tussle for new money. - The UAW's international exe- cutive board is expected to name the next target before the end of the week. It met in Detroit yes- terday and will convene again to- day. While Ford has been shut down, after building relatively few cars, GM and Chrysler have been pour- ing out 1968 models. G4 has built 747,912 and Chrysler 370,179. A strike by GM's 325,000, hourly rated workers would cost the un- ion about $8.1 million a week, plus an additional $12 million month- ly to defray insurance payments of strikers. The union's strike fund shrunk from $67 million to $40 million during the Ford strike. But the UAW has proclaimed loudly that General Motors must -like Chrysler and Ford-permit union committeemen to devote their full time to processing griev- ances and otherwise tending to union business while remaining on the company payroll. Even while striking Ford, UAW President Walter P. Reuther's an- griest words were directed at General Motors, which he claim- ed had formed a conspiracy with Ford and Chrysler to thwart the union's achieving its new con- tract goals. When he announced Ford as his target for winning a pattern-set- ting contract, Reuther said flatly he would go next to Chrysler and then to GM. But when he had won at Ford, he refused to say Chrysler would be next. He mentioned GM as a possi- bility. Working conditions, rather than economics, are expected to pose the major problems at GM. PITTSBURG (A) - Steel haul- ers voted yesterday to end their nine-week rebellion that spread violence and vandalism across eight states and bottled up an estimated half a million tons of steel in mill warehouses. William Kusley, the man who started the wildcat walkout in protest against a three-year na- tional contract negotiated by the Teamsters Union last spring, said in Gary. Ind., that the trucks wouldrroll again Tuesday morn- ing. He said 67 per cent of the, 10,000 to 20.000 striking drivers approved a settlement that prom- ises the drivers $10 an hour for every hour they wait at mill load- ing docks after four hours, a 5 per cent general hike in shipping, cost and a special committee to represent the independent before the Teamsters. * The steel haulers, who own their trucksand contract out individu- ally, earn a minimum of 73 per cent of shipping costs under the Teamsters contract. They had originally asked for a 6 per cent boost, in their share of costs and $15 for every hour they wait after' two hours. Pennsylvania Gov. Raymond P. Shafer, who called together the seven-state mediation panel that drafted the settlement a week ago, said "I extend my heart-felt thanks to all the representatives of the governors who worked so dili- gently to bring about this result." Pennsylvania Secretary of La- bor and Industry William J. Hart, who piloted the panel, said, "I am always happy to see hostilities come to an end." Hart acknowledged that he was taking a caculated risk last Fri- day when he told the strikers they could stay out until "hell freezes over" if they rejected the second proposal. The idea, he said, was to pressure the truckers into returning to work. A dynamite blast wrecked his summer home near Butler, Pa., Sunday. but no one was home. The bombing was the last of a rash of beatings, shootings and bombings which stalked the dis- pute from the beginning. _________ Ii NINE WEEKS OF VIOLENCE: Steel Haulers' Walkout Ends; 67% Vote To Accept Contract presents Unanimously Acclaimed Spanish Dance Company By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS - Israeli sources said yesterday that Soviet naval personnel possibly super- vised the Egyptians firing of So- viet-made surface rocket missiles which sank the Israeli destroyer Elath. As Egypt braced for possible reprisals, Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol denounced the sinking an "an act of war in open sea," and newspapers in Israel demanded vengeance for the attack that sent the Elath to the bottom of the Mediterranean off the Sinai Pen- insula coast Saturday with the probable loss of 53 lives. The weekend sinking gave fresh impetus to the search by UN dip- lomats for a formula that would make a start toward permanent peace in the tense Middle East. Army Seiids 4,100 Troops' To Bolster Border Defenses But in Washington, Israeli For- eign Minister Abba Eban said that Israel is not looking to the UN Security Council for action on the sinking. Informants in Tel Aviv de- clared they doubted if Egyptian crews have had time to be trained enough to fire the missiles, which locked on the destroyer by radar. "We expect renewed Israeli ag- gression any time," an Egyptian official said in Cairo. "Our armed forces are constantly on the alert." Israeli government leaders con- ferred with military officers in Jerusalem, informed sources said. Dfficials were tight-lipped over what course the government might take. Claiming the Elath was a mile inside Egypt's 12-mile limit, Cairo asked that UN observers be sent to Port Said at the north end of the Suez Canal. Israeli officials, who reported the Elath was a mile or more out- side Egypt's territorial waters, de- clared the requesttfor UN observ- ers was Cairo's attempt to head off Israeli reprisal. "This despicable attack was launched without any cause," Esh- kol told the Israeli nation in a broadcast. "It was a wanton and unprovoked attack. The blood of our sailors, like the blood of our civilians and soldiers, will not be shed wanton- As he spoke, Israeli helicopters and navy ships searched the sea without success for 36 men still missing. Two more sailors died of burns during the night, bringing the death toll to 17. Another 46 of the crew of 202 were wounded. In the midst of the latest Mid- east crisis, Marshal Matvei V. Zakharov, Soviet military chief of staff and deputy defense minister, arrived unannounced in Cairo. Western diplomats in Moscow said they believed the Kremlin was concerned about the possible con- sequences of the Elath's sinking and Zakharov had gone to Egypt to look over the situation. Some UN delegates expressed hope that a resolution would be ready for Security Council action this week, but other said they ex- pected more time would be need- ed. d'There is no cause for excessive optimism about an early council meeting," one nonaligned diplomat said. "But the trend is forward." According to one informed dip- lomatic source, the resolution un-I der consideration would rule out any territorial gains through the use of force and recognize the need for an Israeli withdrawal from the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian teritory Israel seized in the six-day Arab-Israeli war last June. Eban, commenting after a closed luncheon given in his honor by Sen. Stewart Symington (D-Mo), chairman of the Near East sub- committee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told news-, men,I "The Security Council has never acted against anything the Arabs wanted." IJ S BAILES PANOLES 'EXPLOSIV'** N. Y. Heratd Trib me SAIGON (A)-With 4,100 fresh troops from the United States, the U.S. Army. yesterday began a beef up of its fighting power in the most dangerous sector of the Vietnam war-the 1st Corps area below North Vietnam's border. The landing of troops of the 198th Light Infantry Brigade from ships at Chu Lai will boost U.S. manpower in the northern-most provinces of South Vietnam to 111,000 and bring overall U.S. manpower in the whole of South Vietnam to 468,100. The new troops, activated only in May at Ft. Hood,rTex., will be coming ashore over the next few days for assignments with the Army's America Division, which has been spreading out over the five northern provinces since April. The American forces in the 1st Corps area oppose 55,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong guer- rillas inside the provinces them- selves and another 37,000 or so North Vietnamese reported en- camped in and above the demili- tarized zone which separates North and South Vietnam. The landing of the 198th Bri- gade at Chu Lai came during an- other lull in the ground action in; South Vietnam. But U.S. planes took advantage of a break in North Vietnam's foul weather Sunday and carried out raids de- signed to destroy the Reds' ability to supply their forces in the South.-, The Army began its buildup in the 1st Corps area in April when it became clear that the Marines -spread out thinly along the DMZ and 168 miles of coastline-were not equipped for holding opera- tions. The Leathernecks are gear- ed mostly for amphibious strikeG operations. Army troops in the zone numbered about 30,000 men, mostly in the southern part of the 1st Corps area, before the arrival of the 198th Light Infantry Bri- gade.
