Theu Sworn In As Viet President Offers To Talk Peace With Hanoi; Security Tightened Around Capital SAIGON (P) -Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu took the oath of office last night as the elected presi- dent of South Vietnam and im- mediately offered direct peace talks with Hanoi. Security precautions were tight- er than anything seen before in Saigon. Troops swept the out- skirts of the city of guard against any Communist effort to disrupt the ceremonies. Thieu, flanked by Vice Presi- dent-elect Nguyen Cao Ky, who has largely run the country for Supporters Of Fereney To Stav On LANSING ()-Four of the six Democratic State Central Commit- tee office staffers who resigned last week in a dispute with party leaders have decided to stay on the job as long as Zolton Ferency re- mains as party chairman. One of the six, former director of party development James Har- rison, said yesterday the four had been asked to remain at full pay by the officers of the State Cen- tral Committee. "Some of the officers of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee reconsidered their decision of Oct. 25 and have asked several members of the Lansing staff to remain on the job at full pay," he said., k Stay With Ferency "The members of the Lansing staff who have not as yet found other employment have agreed to remain in order to keep John F. Kennedy House open and to assist Zolton Ferency as long as he re- mains as state Democratic chair- man," Harrison said. The six resigned last Tuesday after a near six-hour negotiation session with top party leaders over proposed staff reductions. Staff Reductions The leadership had proposed that the Lansing staff be reduced by one professional staffer and one secretary and the three-mem- ber Detroit staff be reduced by one secretary. The staff workers and the party leaders proposed several alterna- tive plans, some involving across- the-board pay reductions, but the staff elected to resign en masse, effective last Friday. The staff resignations came in the wake of a party furor over statements by Ferency which were widely interpreted as a call for a dump Johnson movement. Several party leaders disasso- ciated themselves from the chair- men's statements, saying he did not speak for all the Michigan party. the past two years, began the ceremonies almost immediately, upon his arrival. Thieu pledged to eradicate the rampant corruption that has weakened successive South Viet- namese governments, and out- lined broad programs of social re- form, economic austerity and the strengthening of democratic in- stitutions.1 He devoted most of the brief speech, however, to a discussion of peace. And while he said he would "open the door widely to peace and leave it open," he equ- ally emphasized: "A peace that the weaker party is forced to ac- cept is a surrender. I am deter- mined not to accept surrender." Humphrey Confident Humphrey expressed confidence South Vietnam "will persevere in the face of aggression" and said he brought "a reaffirmation of the solemn pledge of American support for the Vietnamese peo- ple and their new government." Humphrey emphasized that he was here as the personal repre- sentative of President Johnson and that he brought the Presi- dent's renewed pledge of solid! support for South Vietnam. Humphrey also had the oppor- tunity to press to the U.S. deter- mination for political progress in private meetings with Thieu and Ky Monday-after a quick trip visiting U.S. forces in the field and inspecting the training cen- ter for South Vietnamese pacifi- cation workers. Maj. Be, a former Communist battalion commander who came over to the Saigon government, told Humphrey that the biggest problem that the massive, expen- sive Revolutionary Development program faces is lack of under- standing at the provincial and district levels. Corruption at these levels "is hurting our program," Be told the vice president. The U.S. Cen- tral Intelligence Agency subsi- dizes the program, whose special- ly trained teams try to cater to the needs of contested villages and develop loyalty in them to the Saigon government. 'Free Society' "What I liked about the state- ment," Humphrey told newsmen later, "is that a man can stand up and say that. This proves it is a free society. I bet you that can't be said in North Vietnam and I know it can't be said in Communist states." The ceremony culminates five elections over the past 14 months, all bitterly assailed by the Com- munist National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong. Technically, the oath taking by Thieu and Ky will end four years of frequently chaotic military rule that began with the overthrow and death of President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. UAW Strike At Chrysler Possible DETROIT R) - Threat of a strike in two nations against Chrysler Corp. was heard yester- day as United Auto Workers and Chrysler negotiators in Canada and the United States pushed talks } on new contracts.7 Equal pay for workers in other U.S. and Canadian plants of the major auto producers is one of the, major goals announced by the UAW in this year's contract bar- gaining. No such action was taken in the new contract just negotiated at Ford. In Windsor, Ont., where all but about 1,000 of Chrysler's 13,000 Canadian workers are employed, UAW Canadian head George Burt said there is a "distinct possibility" the union would strike ChryslerE in the U.S. and Canada on Nov. 15.! The UAW has been negotiatinga with Chrysler Canada Ltd. since Aug. 1, Burt said, and a Nov. 15 strike deadline has been set. The UAW is expected to press for "the only major thing" they1 didn't win from their No. 1 target! -equal pay for Canadian and American workers. "Canadian wage parity is going to be a very crucial issue in these' negotiations. It's a top priority item," Douglas Fraser, UAW Chrysler department director, said after the union decided to take the contract won from its No. 1 target, Ford Motor Co. to Chrysler - before going to General Motors. JERUSALEM (6P) - Israel is strengthening its cease-fire lines and intends to retain most of the Arab lands it won in the six-day war last June, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol indicated yesterday. "Peace is the only solution that has not yet been tried and the time has come to try it," Eshkol said in a speech at theropening session of the Knesset, or parlia- ment. But he added that Israelis will continue to "fortify our secur- ity so long as the threat against us continues and we are in dan- ger of destruction." At the United Nations, the 10 non-permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, split be- tween two proposals, tried yester- day to agree on a plan the coun- cil could adopt to send a peace- maker to the Arabs and Israelis. Israel informed Secretary-Gen- eral U Thant yesterday it would make a special contribution of one million Israeli pounds-$333,333- to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Arab refugees in the, Middle East. One major difference was over wording of instructions to the proposed U.N. special representa- tive concerning withdrawal of Israeli troops from captured Arab lands. A Canadian-Danish draft said no state in the area should "per- sist in refusing to withdraw troops that are on another's territory against its will." A resolution submitted by Ar- gentina, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Mali and Nigeria said the Israelis should withdraw either "to posi- tions they held on June 4"-the day before the war began-or "from all the territories occupied as a result of the recent con- flict." -Daily-Glen Haivarson NGUYEN VAN THIEU officially took office last night as President of South Vietnam.

An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv denied that any of his coun- try's aircraft had flown over Syria or had been shot down. Israeli Claims The Israeli army said Arab in- filtrators bombed an Israeli farm building, shot at an army vehicle and slightly wounded a farm watchman in separate incidents during the night in the Baisan Valley, near the part of Jordan occupied by Israel. There have been half a dozen recent sabo- tage attempts in the valley. Eshkol said Israel will not per- mit "the restoration of the situ- ation prior to June 5th" on Sy- ria's Golan Heights, from which Arab gunners looked down on Israeli farm settlements. "Nor will the situation in Sinai, the Gulf of Elath and on the Suez Canal be restored to what it was," he declared. Because of the Arabs' refusal to negotiate peace, he said, "Is- rael will continue to maintain in full the situation as it was es- tablished in the cease-fire agree- ments and will consolidate her position in keeping with the vital needs of her security and de- velopment." Asks UN Caution Eshkol said there is ample legal and political justification for Is- rael's demand that national boun- daries be determined "within the framework of peace treaties" with the Arabs. He said the United Nations should refrain from any step that would make negotiations with the Arabs more difficult. Peace in the Middle East, he stated, depends on Israel's ability to defend itself, non-intervention of "the powers in the area" on the side of the Arab belligerents and the avoidance by the United Nations of "empty declarations" that would only strengthen "those bent on war.'' Eshkol said Arab states are rebuilding their military with foreign aid, mostly from the So- viet Union. For that reason, he said, Israel is doing everything it can to obtain all kinds of arms necessary for its protection. STOCKHOLM, ()-The Swedish Academy of Science yesterday awarded the Nobel Prize in physics' to Prof. Hans A. Bethe of Cornell University and the chemistry prize jointly to Britons George Porter From Wire Service Reports MOSCOW - The Soviet Union announced it launched an earth satellite yesterday that carried out an automatic docking pro- cedure with another satellite sent up Friday. Mstislav Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, told a news conference earlier that the unmanned space satel- lite launchings were not rehear- sals for a manned flight. Speculation had arisen that the Soviets were planning for a man- ned flight to help celebrate the 50th anniverstary of the Bolsh- evik Revolution. "There will be~ no manned launchings before the holidays, Keldysh said. He said the un- manned space shotsihad "other objectives," but declined to ela- borate. News of the automatic linkup followed. Keldysh appeared baffled by reports Soviet Ambassador to India N.M. Pegov had announced in New Delhi that a new Soviet spacecraft would "be launched shortly" and perhaps land in India. "There must be some confusion" Keldysh said. The scientist said Pegov was probably referring to broad United Nations plans for international cooperation in fu- ture space landings and not to any imminent Soviet shot. It was the first automatic dock- ing procedure ever carried out al- though the United States has car- ried out manned docking experi- ments. The Tass news agency said satellite Cosmos 188 was launch- ed today and made a successful rendezvous with Cosmos 186, launched last Friday. The announcement said the "rigidly coupled" satellites con- tinued their joint orbital flight with all equipment functioning normally, then separated 31/2 hours later. The two Sputniks are contin- uing space exporations, the an- nouncement added. A German space expert said last night the docking of two Soviet Cosmos satellites would en- able the Soviet Union to land a man on the moon one year be- fore the Americans. Heinz Kaminski, director of the Institute for Satellites and Space Research here, said the maneu ver meant the Soviets would have to face lesser risks on manned journeys to the moon than the Americans with their Apollo pro- gram. Kaminski said the two Soviet satellites would return to earth and that the docking was th beginning of an experimented phase including construction of an orbiting space laboratory and a starting platform for flights to the moon. The platform would be manned, a n d crew members would be taken back to earth b: space bus in regular intervals, he said. e t if Is Uruguay Pres Minister To F MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (A') - Gen. Oscar Gestido took leave from his office as president of Uruguary yesterday so he can fight a duel with his former fi- nance minister. Gestido and Foreign Minister Hector Luisi challenged Sen. Am- ilcar Vasconcellos Saturday to separate duels because of a po- litical dispute. Vasconcellos was Gestido's finance minister until his resignation Oct. 9. Duels are legal in this South American republic of 2.6 million persons. The law requires the president to leave his office before engaging in a challenge to duel. Gestido, a 65-yar-old retired Air Force general, took an indefi- nite leave of absence. Vice President Jorge Pacheco Areco took over as acting chief executive. Gestido is expected to be away for just a few days, while the challenges are being processed. Chances of whether the duels will be held are unclear. The seconds met Sunday and again yesterday and are expected to appoint two courts of honor. Each court will decide whether there is ground for the duels. If the duels are held, Vascqn- cellos, a burly man of 47, would meet Gestido first and Luisi later. Gestido and Luisi, as the offend- ed parties, would have choice of weapons.

The brodacast said the state- ment was made by Nguyen Van Tien, chief of the front mission in Hanoi in an interview with a cor- respondent of Akahata, organ of the Japan Communist party. MOSCOW - The Soviet Union rejected yesterday as "unreal" any revival now of the Geneva con- fernce to bring peace in Vietnam. In a letter, Premier Alexei N. Kosygin also said any conference without the participation of the North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong's National Libera- tion Front-NFL-and while U.S. air raids continue, "cannot open prospects for ending the Vietnam- ese conflict." The letter said the North Viet- namese and NLF positions on end- ing the conflict are "reasonable and acceptable," according to a summary by Tass of Kosygin's let- ter. * * * LONDON - Brian Jones, 25- year-old guitarist of the Rolling Stones pop group, pleaded guilty yesterday to drug charges and was sentenced by a London court to nine months imprisonment. He was denied bail pending an appeal. Jones pealed guilty to having enough marijuana in his apart- ment to make between 7 and 10 cigarettes and of permitting his apartment to be used for the pur- pose of smoking the drug. Jones denied that the marijuana found in his apartment was his but admitted it was technically in his possession since it was found in his home. He said the drug had been brought there by friends.
