WAR RE-ASSESSMENT:
HHH: An independent position?
By The Associated Press
Hubert H. Humphrey appeared
yesterday to be trying harder than
ever to carve an independent posi-.
tion on Vietnam, pledging as
President he would re-assess the
war and be determined to reduce
the U. S. combat role.
' Humphrey, winding up two days
of campaigning in vote-rich Ohio,
alto complained the press g a v e
disproportionate attention to the
Black Panthers, the hippies and
the- Yippies, rather than to the
millions' of. Americans who are
"working their hearts out."
In Ohio, Humphrey drew some
of the biggest crowds of his cam-
paign so far. Some people were
unable to get in to a women's
rally for him in a grade school
auditorium where children, turn-
ed out in party hats and balloons.
Humphrey, at a question and
answer session there, said thebg-
gest priority of the next admin-
istration will be "to bring this
war to a prompt end, to do it
' through the processes of negotia-
tion."
If negotiations are not success-
ful in bringing it promptly to an
honorable conclusion, he said, "it
is my hope and it is my intention
when I become the President ...
to re-assess the Vietnam situation
in the light of the amount of as.-
sistance that is required from the
United States."
Humphrey said with improve- ,
ment of the South Vietnamese
army, "it would be my policy af-
ter 'a re-assessment of the situa-
tion in Vietnam, on the ground
and the political situation, to move
toward a systematic reduction of
American forces, keeping in mind
the- safety of the troops that
remain and keeping in mind the
safety of Vietnam."
"I think we can do it and I am
determined to find a way to do it,"
said Humphrey.
A father told Humphrey at the
question-and-answer session- he
was worried about sending h'i s
children to college because of
demonstrations and violence on
campuses.,
Nixon calls
HHH expensive'
Richard M. Nixon said yester-
day that Hubert H. Humphrey's
views on the economy "would
make him the most expensive Pre-
sident in American history."
Nixon, commenting in a speech"
prepared for a Milwaukee rally,
said the American workingman
is on "a federal treadmill" with
rising prices and taxes absorbing
every pay raise he wins.
"The average American working
man has been marking time for
the last three years because of
the economic policies -that my op-
ponent applauds and that my op-
ponent pledges to continue."
Nixon added:
"I say that when America has
lost 40 per cent of her gold in
the last eight years, when interest
rates are at the highest levels in
a century, when prices for food
and medicine are rising faster
than at any time in a generation,
when the tax burden on the
shoulders of the American people
is the heaviest in our history, the
United States of America cannot
afford Hubert Humphrey."
' Nixon told a crowd gathered in
the street outside his hotel that
the Democrats are desperate and
demonstrated it by turning to
former President Harry S. Tru-
man for a campaign endorsement.
Survey shows
Wallace gaining
Support for third-party candi-
date George Wallace, has increas-
ed to 21 per cent during the last
month, the Harris Survey report-
ed yesterday.
The Survey said that Richard
Nixon maintain~s his lead o v e r
Hubert Humphrey. Nixon held a
percentage lead of 39 to 21 during
mid-September.
These results represented a gain
of 4 points for Wallace, and loss-
es of 3 for Humphrey and 1 for
Nixon since an Aug. 24 poll.
The poll said Wallace is draw-
ing m'ore voters from the Repub-
lican nominee, Nixon, than from
his Democratic opponent, Hum-
phrey. In support of this conten-
tion, it said that in a two-man
race Nixon would draw 50 per
cent to Humphrey's 36, with 14
per cent undecided.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. M-- Secretary-General U Thant
declared yesterday that a majority of U.N. member countries
would support a 'General Assembly resolution asking that the
United States stop the bombing of North Vietnam. The United
States protested that Thant's remarks did not advance the
,cause of peace.
Thant made his statement at a news conference on the
eve of the annual fall session of the assembly.
He said an immnediate stop to the bombing was an essen-
tial first step toward a negotiated peace, an'd most world lead-
ers he had seen agreed with him.
Majority approval of a General Assembly resolution would
amount to putting moral pressure on the United States for a

MANILA (P)-The Philippines
announced yesterday that British
and Australian ships will not be
permitted to pass through Philip-
pine waters from the Manila gov-
ernment.
The decision was forwarded to
the British Embassy here, ap-
parently in retaliation against
Britain's announcement last week,
that it was supporting Malaysia
in its dispute with the Philippines
:over Sabah.
The Philipinne government also
has demanded an official explana-
tion of the flight and alleged
landing of five British Royal Air
Force jets on Sabah last week
Sources in London said five RAF
Hunter jets passed 'over Sabah
but did not land. They pass over
the territory regularly on flights
between Hong Kong and Singa-
pore, the informants said.
There was no apparent easing
of tension Rin the Philippine capi-
tal despite Ferdinand E. Marcos
and Malaysian Prime Minister
Tunku Obdul Rahman that they
are willing to meet soon to settle
the, dispute over Sabah.
About 2,000 students surrounded
the American Embassy and burn-
ed an effigy of President Johnson,
yelling, "Burn, Yankee, burn."
They also burned effigies of Rah-
'man and Gen. Sir Michael Garver,
commandeor of the British forces
in the Far East.
Marcos claims Malaysian Sabah
belong to the Philippines because
it was formerly ruled by'the sul-
tan of Sulu, whose descendants
are now Filipinos.
Sabah became part of Malay-
sia when it was formed in 1963.
The United States restated its
recognition of the federation last
week, and many students felt this
restatement dconstituted taking
sides in the dispute.
But Ambassador G. Mennen
Williams delivered a note to the
Philippine government yesterday,
stating the United States was
"totally impartial" in the Sabah
dispute and assuring it wquld
honor its treaty agreements to aid
the Philippines in case of an arm-
ed attack by a hostile power.
Troops movemenfs have been
reported in the Philippines and
Malaysia.
