t Y OCTOBER 21, 1965 TIHE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE PAGE THREE Smith Delays Independence Rhodesian Declaration Upsurge in Defense of, Viet Poliy Students, Groups Plan Demonstrations To Counter Protests NEW YORK (P)-A boomerang- ing counterwave built up yester- day to the demonstrations against United States military ,operations in Viet Nam. Protests spiraled against the protesters. Both sides were rallying follow- ers. From college campuses-the same quarters from which some of the attacks came on U.S. military action-came some of the resurg- ent defense for it. At Yale University, a group of students distributed pamphlets, calling for a mass rally today to demonstrate backing for Amer- ica's course in Viet Nam. Student Disapproval Claiming that most students disapproved of the anti-adminis- tration demonstrations, the group 'included various student leaders. At the University of Mississippi in Oxford, the campus senate 'adopted. a strong resolution sup- porting President Johnson's pol- icies, and repudiating demonstra- ti6ns against the American policy in Asia. At Lakeland High School near Peekskill, N.Y., the senior class prepared petitions to the Presdent and the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, Gen. William C. Westmore- land, supporting the Viet Nam action.. More Protests ;Planned Anti-draft and peace demon- strations had burgeoned over the weekend, and the movement con- tinued to press its opposition to the Viet Nam war, with more pro- test demonstrations planned, in- cluding a march next month on Washington, D.C. It was in reaction to these man- ifestations that the pro-adminis- tration groups began mustering their own fellowing to the field.- A newly formed citizens com- mittee In New York said it was planning a massive Fifth Avenue parade of support for American effort in Viet Nam, rivaling the student march in New York Sat- urday protesting it. Jaycee Counterdrive The national Jaycees announc- ed a program of activities to un- dercut the anti-Viet Nam demon- strators-such as "packing" their meetings and circulating critical information about their leaders. At Michigan State University, a group of students, headed by William Webb, a Detroit junior, started a campaign for 15,000 stu- dent signatures on a petition sup- porting President Johnson. 1 Similar petitions were being cir- V culated at West Virginia State College. Blohd Drive At Washington State Universi- ty, the annual blood-donor drive based its appeal on aiding the Viet Nam military effort. At Temple University in Phila- delphia, Alpha Phi Omega, a na- tional service fraternity, voted unanimously for a "mail call Viet Nam" project-to make sure each of the 140,000 fighting men there gets Christmas cards. In Huntsville, Ala., the 2500- member post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars launched "Opera- tion.Sweet Tooth" to show support for Americans fighting in Viet Nam--by sending them packages of homemade cookies and candy. Public Figures Protest Numerous other organizations and public figures cliallenged the .4 protest demonstrations. Former President Dwight D. Ei- senhower called them "silly and based on ignorance, without knowledge of the continuing threat of communism to this country." In Providence, R.I., Gov. John H. Chafee said students have a right to demonstrate peacefully against American involvement in Viet Nam, but he deplored the sug- gestions for draft-evasion and blocking troop trains. Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn) termed some of the protest activ- ities "tantamount to open insur- rection." He said the United States "cannot tolerate any back-stab- bing activities" while Americans are dying on the battlefield. In Hartford, Conn., Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, said the protest demon- -Associated Press Moslem youths participate in anti-Communist demonstrations in Jakarta, Indonesia, yesterday as they raised a banner declaring "The people insist the PKI (Indonesian Communist Party) be banned." urvival ances im for Indonesian Communist Part JAKARTA (JP)-The Indonesian Communist party-PKI-is in ef- fect standing on a scaffold with a rope around its neck, but still hoping for a reprieve. A reprieve does not seem likely. However, anything is possible in this Southeast Asian nation of 105 million, which President Sukarno has tried to run with new theo- ries of government. The army, since the abortive Communist-backed coup of Sept. 30-Oct. 1, has conducted an elim- ination campaign against the PKI. The drive centers mainly on the two most important islands, Java and Sumatra. Sukarno Efforts The ailing president, 64, is us- ing every man at his disposal to save the Communists, whom he refuses to condemn for their part in the uprising. Sukarno would like to commute the sentence of the Communists, but the army will not buy the idea. It has temporarily suspended the activities of the PKI and its af- filiated organizations, while the crackdown continues under mar- tial law and a curfew. Sukarno says Indonesia cannot be run without Communist par- ticipation in the government. The army wants no part of the pres- ent PKI in. his grand political formula. Army vs. President It is a tug-of-war between the army and Sukarno. The president appears to be losing ground. Communist party head D. N. Aidit disappeared after the coup, reportedly with the help of the leftist air force commander, Vice Marshal Omar Dhani. Aidit fled to the Jogjakarta area in central Java, where he put out an an- nouncement saying he was in good health. Aidit at Large A Moslem party publication, Nu- sa Putra, said the other day Aidit has been arrested. But that story still has not been confirmed. It appears that Aidit-a friend of Sukarno and enemy of the army -is still at large. M. H. Lukman and Njoto, the second and third ranking leaders respectively of the PKI, have not been arrested. Both appeared at a cabinet meeting Sukarno held in his summer palace at Bogor, 40 miles south of Jakarta, five days after the coup was crushed. Thorough Sweep The army's sweep against the Communists has been thorough. Thousands have been arrested. Daily searches are made for arms, believed to have been supplied by the Chinese Communists. Government department heads are dismissing known Communists and sympathizers. The activities of every PKI- affiliated university, high school, trade, youth and women's orga-' nization have been brought to a standstill. { The army's housecleaning may take a long time. But it is not accepting Sukarno's desire to sweep the problem under the rug. British See weakening Of Position Discussions over Terms of Statehood Likely To Continue LONDON ()-Rhodesia's all- whitegovernment withheld its threatened declaration of inde- pendence and relieved British leaders saw weakening resolve in the delay. Interrupting a long meeting of his cabinet in Salisbury, Prime Minister Ian Smith announced yesterday "a decision in princi- ple" had been taken on inde- pendence, but he kept it secret. Instead, Smith sent off to Prime Minister Harold Wilson in Lon- don another message, blending an appeal with a threat, that seems likely to keep the ball in play between the two capitals for quite a while. On the surface, Smith's words had the ring of an ultimatum, British authorities said. If his final demand is not met, he seem- ed to be saying, then he will go it alone and very soon, too. But delving more deeply into the body of Smith's letter, British officials said they detected some signs of a weakening posture. They said they believe he is offering Wilson the, chance to keep the dialogue going between London and Salisbury. Accepts Five Principles The giveaway passage in Smith's letter, which the British said seems to signal the chance of an initiative by Wilson, read: "I agree that I accepted your five principles as a basis for ne- gotiations and that they held the field throughout all the discus- sions from February until this month." These five principles, submitted by the British in February, have become a subject of dispute. As the British tell the story, Smith first accepted them as a negotiat- ing basis, then turned his back on them. Now he appears to be displaying revived interest in them. 5 Points for Statehood In brief the five points repre- sent Britain's terms for granting Rhodesia statehood. They call for guarantees: -For unimpeded progress to-, ward African rule. -Against regressive amendment of the constitution. -For improving the political status of the Africans now. -To repeal all laws embodying racial discrimination. -To insure that an independ- ence settlement is acceptable to the Rhodesian people as a whole. Aides said Wilson would be ready personally to fly to Salis- bury for talks or to send one or more of his senior ministers to do so. But he would expect Smith to shelve his threatened unilateral declaration of independence which, Wilson has said, could spark race trouble up and down the conti- nent of Africa and even beyond. Viet Congl Attack in Highland U.S. Air Strikes Hit Guerrillas; Sustain Garrison in Battle SAIGON ()-Hard hit by day- light, a Viet Cong battalion press- ed an attack with mortars and small arms yesterday on a special forces garrison of 300 Montag- nard tribesmen and 10 United States advisers at Plei Me, in the central highlands. The garrison held out with the help of heavy air strikes at the Red guerrillas. U.S. planes flew 100 sorties in support of the de- fenders, and dropped them ammu- nition. The Viet Cong attacked Plei Me, in hills 210 miles northeast of Saigon, in one of two big strikes Tuesday night, both of which cost them heavy casualties. Losses Heavy They were estimated to have lost from 60 to 100 men around the special forces camp through- out the day. Twenty died on the perimeter barbed wire. Casualties among the defenders were report- ed light. But four Americans were killed when a U.S. Army helicopter was shot down during the battle. A B-57 bomber believed to have been involved on a mission to Plei Me crashed and one crewman was in- jured. A report from the government base at Pleiku, 25 miles north of Plei Me, said the action remain- ed so brisk that medical helicop- trs were unable to land to evac- uate the wounded. Two Drives The Viet Cong's other major move was an attack by two bat.. talions on a government post in the Ba Long Valley, about 400 miles north of Saigon and only a few miles from the frontier of North Viet Nam. That drive was repulsed. U.S. advisers reported at one point officers had counted 94 Viet Cong bodies on the wire and in the mud around the post and "they're still counting." Vietna- mese casualties were described as light. The troops captured a wounded man who said he was a North Vietnamese regular. He said he joined a Viet Cong grouping in the area Monday. Night Attack Flareships helped the defenders in both cases, lighting up the night sky so they would keep watch of Viet Cong movements. Maj. Gen. Chai Mun-shin, 39, a guerrilla warfare expert, arriv- ed in Saigon to assume command of the South Korean expedition- ary force. He will head a 15,000- man combat division, one brigade of which already has landed, plus engineering and medical units, to- taling 2500 men, which have been serving in South Viet Nam since last year.

The statement said that in the Mehnder sector of Kashmir, 200 miles north of Rawalpindi, Indian troops "violated the cease-fire every day for the last week." IOWA CITY-A University of Iowa student burned what he said was his draft card before a group of students in the Memorial Un- ion on the campus yesterday, say- ing it was "something I had to do." Steve Smith, 20, sophomore en- gineering student from Marion, Iowa, said he felt United States policy in Viet Nam is immoral, and "I feel, I am immoral if I stand by and keep my mouth shut." SANTO DOMINGO-Rebel par- tisans and Dominican army reg- ulars brought a halt yesterday to two days of fighting that raised fears of a collapse of the provi- sional government. Meanwhile, the government worked on a sweeping weapons search and seizure law designed to prevent the kind of outbreaks that left three civilians dead and seven wounded Tuesday. * * * WASHINGTON - Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa tapped the union's treasury for $570,396 to pay his lawyers in three criminal trials in the past three years, the Labor Department said yesterday. "That's only the top of the ice- berg," said Seymour Spelman, at- torney for a group of anti-Hoffa Teamsters suing for restitution of the funds. The Labor Department said the Teamsters' money was spent for Hoffa's legal fees in three trials since 1962.
