Vo Nguyen Giap, North Vietnam's chief war strategist, has delivered some chilling news to his nation's 21 million people: The war in the South is far from over, far from won, and needs more of their sacrifice and effort. Giap indicated t h a t the military strategy he developed after fashion- ing the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, and used in South Vietnam almost ever since, may be changed. Oiap presented to t h e people of North Vietnam, on a war footing for nearly three decades, the prospect of more of the same grinding conflict and even greater sacrifice. Already the war has cost the lives of about a half- million North Vietnamese men. These unusually frank views of Giap appeared in seven essays published last month in a Hanoi newspaper. Giap is N o r t h Vietnam's defense minister and a contender for the pres- idential seat left vacant by the death last year of Ho Chi Minh. Experts in Saigon lent to Giap's seven essays the same kind of impor- tance that was placed on his famous "people's war, people's army" speeches of the 1950's and his "b i g victory, great task" articles of 1967. The speeches became a kind of textbook for guerrilla warfare and the articles are considered a major formulation of Communist party military doctrine in the war now under way in the South, But there also is a difference. The works of the 1950s and 1967 abounded in confidence of ultimate victory. The seven essays lack the old patriotic fer- ver. They speak of victory only on a gradual basis. "There exists a great imbalance of numerical strength and population, and also a great imbalance of techni- cal equipment," Giap wrote in differ- entiating his forces and those of the United States. "Under these circumstances we must have t i m e to gradually exterminate and weaken the enemy forces, to re- strict his strength, and aggravate his weaknesses, to gradually strengthen and develop our forces and to over- come our deficiencies .. . "In general, the process of a pro- tracted struggle is that of successively attacking the enemy, gradually re- pelling him, partially overthrowing him, defeating every one of his strate- gic schemes, gradually scoring victo- ries, and moving toward defeating him completely . .." Giap seemed to be informing his na- tion of the n e w situation in South Vietnam. T h e heavy influx of U.S. troops in 1965 snatched victory from the Viet Cong. The Tet offensive of 1968 may have been a blow to the al- lies, but the United States is s t i11 there, building a South Vietnamese fighting machine. Wrote Giap: "The length of the war depends on changes in the balance of forces between us and the enemy and on the war leadership of both sides. Our people's experience shows that in the long war process, when the war moves f r o m one phase to another, there are often fluctuations by leaps and bounds in the outcome either of our efforts or of the enemy's mis- takes . .. Giap referred frequently to the "art of using a small force to fight a big Vietnam force." The North Vietnamese have used this tactic since late in 1968 - small groups attacking large installa- tions to inflict maximum damage. This has reduced North Vietnamese casu- alties sharply. "Using a small force to fight a big- ger one means using a small force to win big victories," he says. "It does not mean carrying out only small of- fensives, but also medium and big of- fensives . . "When it is necessary, we m u s t change in time outdated forms of war- fare, taking new ones which arn more _appropriate . .. We should not ap- ply old experience mechanically, or reapply outmoded forms of warfare. What he seems to be saying is that the strategy laid down after defeating the French may have to be abandoned because of what he called this war's "complexities."

While neither side has given information regarding the border talks which began last October, the level of the propaganda is con- sidered one measure of how the negotiations are going. The sharpest Soviet blast yet came yesterday in a lengthy article entitled "Military Psychosis in China," which accused Maoists of trying to make the Chinese people believe that China is being en- circled by the Soviet Union "in collusion with American imperialism." There remains the possibility that some kind of agreement will be reached in the Peking talks, and that the renewed propaganda could be a tactic to get the talks moving over some troublesome snag. * * * U.S. FORCES swept down a South Vietnamese mountain yesterday, scattering what appeared to .be a North Vietnamese battalion in Americans' biggest battle in months. The battle began Wednesday when U.S. 25th Infantry Division troops were airlifted to the summit and started making their way down the rocky northern face. U.S. casualties for the scirmish were put at two killed and 10 wounded including a helicopter crewman who was injured when his craft was hit by North Vietnamese ground fire and crashed.1 FRANCE AND LIBYA are on the verge of closing an arms deal that includes 50 French-built Mirage warplanes, informed sources said yesterday. An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said in Tel Aviv that the deal involves far more arms 'than Libya needs and predicted the weapons will wind up in Egypt for use against Israel. Fears that the French weapons would wind up in the hands of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser were reinforced when it was learned that three men identified as Egyptian military officers werej part of the Libyan mission here before Christmas. In an attempt to insure that the Mirage planes remain in Libya once they are delivered, France is including a "nontransfer" clause in the arms contract. On paper, this would prevent Libya, one of the most outspoken anti-Israel regimes in the Arab world, from ceding the French-built arms to any other country. THE TRIPLE SLAYING of union leader Joseph Yablonski, his wife and daughter was called a "deed of infamy" at their joint funeral services yesterday. Meanwhile, the Labor Department prepared a full-scale probe of the bitter United Mine Workers presidential election, claimed by some to have led to the slayings. Coupled with this investigation, Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich), requested a Senate investigation and UMW offered a $50,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers. Police officials disclosed they had found a copper-jacketed bullet in the room where the murder occurred, believed to have been fired from a .30 caliber weapon. The bullets taken from the bodies were .38 caliber and the dis- covery of a bullet of another caliber could confirm the belief of some authorities that two or more killers were involved. * * * BITTER COLD across the nation strained power systems in many areasyesterday and left families shivering without heat. Subzero cold dipped into the Deep South, unaccustomed to such frigid temperatures. Nineteen deaths, including 10 in Tennessee, were attributed to the bitter cold. t In New York, train service was affected, and many apartment dwellers were without heat. The 4-degree cold in Washington, D.C., broke records for the date. In Texas, the hens rebelled against the cold and egg production went down. But in California there wasn't enough snow to hold the annual sled dog racing championships. -Associated Press VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO AG14EW shakes hands with American teenagers holding a sign saying "Spiro's Our Hero" during departure ceremonies yesterday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Some 200 members of the American community came to see Agnew off to neighboring Singapore. U.S. " topmilitary assistance plan for Singapore SINGAPORE OP) - Vice Presi- dent Spiro Agnew said yesterday the United States may assist a five-nation effort to provide a strong military presence in this9 crossroads of Southeast Asia. Agnew did not specify how much assistance might be given, but other American sources said it would include supplies and anl increased American presencel through use of ship repair and other facilities in this prosperous commercial center.1 The informants said an increaseE could be expected in the $7 mil-.1 lion in ship and aircraft repair contracts here during the current fiscal year, but were unable to specify how much. While the United States has noI direct military commitment to Singapore or neighboring Malay- sia, it does have agreements with Australia and New Zealand. These four countries along with Britain, would be involved in any five-na- tion operation here. While t h e five-nation efforts are only. barely off the ground, they could include such things as rotating naval a n d air patrols, ground troops and operation of a portion of the naval center as a! base and repair area. Agnew raised the matter in a conversation with r e p o r t e r s aboard Air Force Two as he flew to Singapore.$ Asked whether U.S. policy is to encourage such efforts as the five- . 1 Subscribe To THE MICHIGAN DAILY at THE HOUSE 1429 Hill Street Saturday, January 10 nation effort, Agnew said: "It is not only to encourage it, but it is, in selected cases, to assist these regional groupings where we feel it is directly to our interest in the Pacific." He gave a flat "no" when asked if t h e assistance might include sending U.S. ground troops to Ma- laysia. He said Malaysian leaders, had made no request "for any aid whatsoever." On one of the lighter days of his tour, Agnew had only two formal engagements after h i s arrival here; a ceremonial session at which he presented moon rocks to President Yusof Bin Ishak and an DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Unlver- sity of Michigan.

The Labor Department reported yesterday, along with the jobless figures, that employment ros e only slightly last month, manu- facturing overtime hours were the lowest in two years and average earnings of some 45 million rank and file workers fell a penny an hour to $3.11. "After allowance for strikes, pay- roll employment rose by only 375,- 000 in the second half of 1969, compared with a 1.5 million in- crease during the first half of the year," the Bureau said. "The slowing down in the rate of growth in employment indicates there has been a slowing down in demand," said the bureau's assist, ant commissioner, Harold Gold- stein. Hourly pay at the end of 1969 was up 6.5 per cent for the year and average weekly pay was up 6.2 per cent, but the gains were offset by an inflation rate of about 6 per cent. Asked if the year's strong em- ployment picture was puzzling in view of other economic signals of decline, Goldstein said no one gov- ernment indicator tells the whole story. "The other important figures such as production, prices, wages, money flows, monetary supplies, are very significant indicators of what is happening in the economy and they don't always move' to- gether," he said. tions in elem., early childhood, an d secondary English and math will ,be. given in our office between 3 and8 p.m., Thurs., Jan. 15.
