'.F F' J WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAm.. TR VPAUZE P~1~EZ Commo By DICK WINGFIELD The European Economic Com- munity has been totering for the, past few months. The points of3 difference between France and the, other member nations are vital- so much so that Michel Maurice- Bokanowski; French minister of industry, indicated during July that France might quit the Com- mon Market. This was a culmination of the French boycott of Common Mar- ket meetings. The issues, which reached a feverish pennicle this summer, in- volve differing interpretations of the responsibilities each of the member nations carries. These re- sponsibilities were outlined in the form of goals in the Treaty of Rome, the Common Market's con- stitution, 1957. The farm policy: France, serv- t Market: Crisis with ing its agrarian interests, wishes stronger farm subsidies within the Common Market. De Gaulle press- ed for a longer range farm pro- gram in Brussells this summer- one that would last five years, rather than the two-year pro- grams suggested by the other five member nations. The political front: France, foreseeing no direct benefit from political unity with the other member nations, has chosen to support a "league of the father- lands." This arrangement would not dilute French prestige on the extra-Common Market level. A ."league of the fatherlands" would provide for economic intercourse, but not political anonymity. About the issues: There is an unsavory hypocrisy shrouding French behavior this summer. Quite frankly, de Gaulle pro- claimed that the other five mem- ber nations were reneging on an agricultural subsidy agreement set forth in the Treaty of Rome when they did not readily consent to his five-year increased agricultural subsidy program. On the other hand, he opposes the organization of a politically integrated Europe. Apparently he did not regard one fact-both argicultural pro- grams and a politically integrated Europe are outlined in the Treaty of Rome. Nevertheless, de Gaulle ordered a French boycott of the Common Market meetings and the Common Market was rendered temporarily impotent. The French continue to view Common Market goals with one eye shielded. British Entry Particularly interesting is the fact that now France may sup- port the entrance of Britain into the Common Market. London has announced that it supports de Gaulle's formula for a "league of nations." In this case the tables may be turned-instead of France vetoing Britain's admission to Euromart, as it did two years ago, any one or all of the other five member nations could very well do so. However, even if Britain were admitted, France might plan on contending with another power which would oppose the French agriculture plans-although there is no way to tell what London might promise in return for the cherished seat in the Common Market. Euromart Progress These issues, however vital, will probably prove insufficient to dis- rupt Euromart progress. France must and does recognize the bene- fits of the market. Conceded one of the "economic France wonders of the world," the Euro- pean Common Market has out- stripped the United States and the "Outer Seven"-Britain, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Swe- den and Switzerland-in growth rates, boasting an impressive 7.6 per cent in 1963, as compared with 6 per cent in the United States and 4 per cent in the Outer Seven. It appears more logical, there- fore, that de Gaulle will seek to preserve the customs union- source of economic wealth-and block political unity-source of prestige dilution: for France. The other members can only wait, anxiously, for de Gaulle's next move or proclamation which will undoubtedly come forth with some 'degree of righteous indigna- tion at the other members' "ne- glect of constitutional responsibil- ity." r.

Landing under cover of bombardment from guns of the Seventh Fleet, the offensive encountered only small arms fire. Rise in Voluntary Enlistments Follows Increased Draft Call WASHINGTON (R) -Voluntary enlistments in the armed services have jumped since President Johnson ordered a sharp boost in 6 the draft, it was learned recently. Figures for August - the first full month since the President's action-indicate a gain for all the forces. Marines reported a 20 per cent increase, the Army a 19 per cent rise. Both the Navy and the Air Force said they expected to go well beyond their goals for the month when final reports are in. Prod The draft always has served as a prod for young men to sign up with the service of their choice. Voluntary enlistments had lag- ged, particularly in the Army and Navy, until Johnson announced on July 28 that Selective Service goals would be doubled to about 35,000 a month as part of the military buildup growing out of the war in Viet Nam. In data made available to the AP, the Army reported that 10,8211 men enrolled voluntarily in Au- gust-an increase of 1,743 over July. This brought the Army to 96.3 per cent of its enlistment objective for August. Recruitment Upswing The Navy said that "recruiting appears to be on the upswing throughout the nation." It said "a definite increase in Navy enlistments has been noted since the President's speech re- garding draft calls, the larger commitment of armed forces to Viet Nam, and the recently signed military pay bill." The Navy predicted that its goal of 11,694 recruits for August will be topped by more than 1,000 men. Navy Draft For the first time in nine years, the Navy will draw on the draft next month. It is scheduled to get 4,500 men by that route. If the enlistment trend con- tinues, the Navy may be able again to reply entirely on volun- teers. In reporting their increase in enlistments, the Marines said it was "not necessarily because of the announced draft increases." The corps did not cite any other reason, beyond saying the rise "reflects increased requirements." 20 Per Cent The corps provided no actual numbers, limiting itself to listing a 20 per cent gain. The Air Force said it expects to top its August enlistment quota of 15,499 men and voiced confidence it will fill its 13,799-man quota for September. In July, which was virtually at an end by the time Johnson an- nounced the draft rise, the Air Force enrolled nearly 2,000 more young men than the 9,500 it had planned for that month. "The Air Force has not had re- cent difficulties in fulfilling man- power requirements through en- listments," it said. The White House said Thursday the number of American service- ment volunteering for duty in Viet Nam "has increased dramat- ically" since. April and now aver- ages more than 100 a day. Steady Rise "The number has risen steadily to a peak of 1,653 last month," the White House said, adding: "Au- gust will be even greater, with 1,442 the first two weeks. Since April the daily average of volun- teers has more than tripled." In April there were 925 volun- teers, in May 945 and in June 1,222. The director of Selective Service, Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, said Saturday tabs are being kept on men who do not qualify for the draft because of a disability but who would qualify under wartime or emergency standards. Troops Find Few Enemy Light Action Tear Gas Reported Used Against Civil Population in Caves SAIGON () - Thousands of United States Marines and Viet- namese troops swarmed over Ba- tangan Peninsula on the South China Sea yesterday but the re- ported Communist guerrillas there eluded the massive assault. The estimated 5,000 Marines and an undisclosed number of government soldiers encountered little resistance and few of the enemy as they attempted to re- peat the Leathernecks' big vic- tory over the Viet Cong in a nearby sector last month. A U.S. spokesman, meanwhile, disclosed that a Marine unit used tear gas Sunday as the most humane way of removing women and children from tunnels and caves near Qui Nhon suspected of being a Viet Cong lair. Without Authority He said a battalion commander, on his own authority, ordered the gas as the "most harmless meth- od" of dislodging the people. The spokesman said the civilians suf- fered nothing more than crying from the effects of the gas. He added that the Marine com- mander may not have been aware of U.S. policy against the use of tear gas or any.type of gas even though it is issued as basic equip- ment to the troops. Controversy arose last March when it was disclosed U.S. and Vietnamese military forces had been experimenting with non- lethal gases of police-action types. Sniper Fire In the Batangan assault, a Ma- rine spokesman said Marines drew no more than 50 rounds of sniper fire during the day after the landing began at sunrise. At one hamlet, Chan Thuan on Cape Batangan, Marines had. ex- pected heavy Viet Cong resistance but found only women and chil- dren. The assault was launched with support of gunfire from ships of the U.S. 7th Fleet. The force landed by sea and air in a joint operation with Vietnamese ranger and army units. Reliable sources said earlier that aerial photos showed Communist positions in the area had been growing considerably in recent weeks. The Marines found gigantic tun- nels, trenches, carrier pigeons and stacks of intelligence papers. About 200 civilians were rounded up for questioning. A Vietnamese boy, apparently wounded in an earlier strafing run, was taken by helicopter to the USS Princeton for medical aid. At Kien Thien U.S. Army heli- copters flew emergency missions in the face of Viet Cng mortar last night to help evacuate about 50 civilians wounded by aid strikes in this Meking delta area. There were reports that the Viet Cong deliberately had forced the civilians to stay with them. Tells Court KlanGroup Disbanded Former Klansman Dissatisfied with 'Wrecking Crew' NEW ORLEANS (-The for- mer grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in the Bogalusa area told yesterday of a Klan "wrecking crew" that checks out complaints. Charles H. Christmas of Amite cited the activities of the wreck- ing crew as one of the reasons why his Klan organization was disbanded four months ago and reorganized under another name. His testimony came on the opening day of a federal court hearing on -a Justice Department suit seeking to enjoin the Klan from harassment and intimida- tion of civil rights workers in the Bogalusa area. The Klan and 38 of its members are listed as de- fendants, Rights Act Invoked A three-judge court was con- vened under the 1964 Civil Rights Act which specifically authorizes such courts to hear cases involv- ing alleged harassment and threats against civil rights workers. Nor- mally, a three-judge court deals with constitutional matters. This was the first use of the 1964 act against the Klan, al- though the law has been used against individuals in other in- stances. Christmas told the court the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists in the 6th Congres- sional District-of which Boga- lusa is a part. NewName He said-he presided over the transition of the Klan "into the Anti-Communist Christian As- sociation." Asked by United -States Dist. Judge Herbert W. Christenberry if this wasn't just a change in name only, Christmas answered: "It was more than just a name change. The Anti-Communist Christian Association is a replace- ment for. the Ku Klux Klan. It is not necessarily in conjunction with the Klan." Asked by Christenberry the reason for the name change, Christmas said "the Klan had a bad reputation" and he didn't like some of its methods. Subpoened Records Christmas and -Saxon Farmer, identified as the grand titan of the Bogalusa Klan were ordered by the court to produce by 10 a.m. Thursday records subpoened by the Justice Department.
