Hold Key to
Viet Peace
By The Associated Press
clustered about President Ho
Chi Minh, the aging Mandarin
whose name means "enlightened
one," is a group of men who hold
the option of signaling an interest
in peace or inviting ordeal by fire
which could pose the danger of
widened Asian war.
Among North Viet Nam's top
leaders are those whom President
Johnson deplored Friday as fana-
tics "pursuing the old cynical
strategy of rule or ruin." This'
implied that it was up to them
whether the United States resum-
4 ed bombing North Viet Nam or
whether there was hope of a
road to peace.
Ho, too, had something to say
Friday. He called President John-
son's peace gestures "an impu-
dent threat" and appealed for
increased aid from Communist
countries.
And again yesterday " Ho was
quoted as accusing the U.S. of
employing gas warfare and
scorched-earth tactics.
"If the U.S. really wants peace,
it must recognize the National
Liberation Front of South Viet
Nam as the genuine and only rep-
resentative of the South Viet-
namese people and enter direct
negotiations with same," the
broadcast quoted the message as
saying.
According to the radio, Ho Chi
Minh's note charged that "The
U.S. is trying to maintain a
puppet government in South Viet
Nam to perpetuate the division of
Viet Nam."
The Communist Vietnamese
leader accused the U.S. of follow-
ing "a policy of scorched earth,
burning and destroying everything
and using poisonous gas and
toxic chemical products to destroy
villages and assassinate the civil
population."
Ho Chi Minh charged "The U.S.
continues its spy flights over
North Viet Nam territory in pre-
paration of new aerial attacks on
our nation," the broadcast said.
"While the North American
armed forces' remain in our land,
the people will continue to fight
them," the radio quoted from the
note. "If the U.S. wants peace, it
must stop bombing our country
and other acts of aggression un-
conditionally."
The message denounced "the
false peace offensive of the U.S.,
while the North American im-
perialists extend the war in Viet
Nam."
Ho, who will be 76 in May,'
seems more and more a figure-
head. The frail, aristocratically
born lifetime revolutionist has
given the impression he sought to
avoid involvement in the Moscow-
Peking cold war over world Com-
munist strategy. Now his 10-man
Politburo seems caught up in a
struggle between the pro-Chinese
and the pro-Muscovites.
The pro-Chinese appear at the
moment to have the upper hand,j
though the contest probably still
is going on.
The principals:
Le Duan, 58, first secretary of
the Laodong Communist party.
Once wholly Chinese in outlook,
he now seems on the fence. As the
most powerful figure after Ho,
Duan might have authority to tip
the balance.
Duan became a party member
in the early 1930s. He spent 10
years in a French prison for sub-
version, and after emerging in
December, 1964, became top leader
of the Vietminh guerrillas in the
South. He is one, of the few
Southerners in a powerful position
the top party position. .
For years, without the actual
title, Duan was second man to Ho.
In 1959 he gained the title of
first secretary of the party. An
expert on relations with other
parties, he accompanied Ho on
trips to Peking and Moscow and
led his own delegations without
Ho on similar journeys. He may
become president after Ho moves
on. At present he seeems a little
less pro-Chinese than he sounded
in the past.
Truong Chinh, head of the Na-
tional Assembly. His name means
"long march," a pseudonym hon-
oring Mao Tze-tung's revolution-
ary exploit. He is a contender for
to be all Chinese in his outlook.
Chinh has been associated with!
Ho since the late 1920s and helped
him found the Indochinese party.!
After directing its propaganda, he
became its secretary-general in,
1941, operating inside China, and
he emerged again in North Viet
Nam in 1951 as the top secretary.
Pham Van Dong, premier, is one
of Ho's earliest associates and
long has been a Moscow-type
Communist. Now 60 years old, he
has been a revolutionary since
his early teens, when he was in
the Indonesian Communist move-
ment. He joined Ho in China in
1925, and went to South Viet Nam
to set up a revolutionary base in
1929. He spent six years at hard
labor in a French prison camp.
A founder, with Ho, of the
Vietminh guerrilla movement, he
has been premier of North Viet
Nam since partition of the coun-
try in 1954. Like Ho, he is at-
tentive to Moscow's guidelines but
seems now to be boxed in.
The decisions of these men,
along with Ho, will tell the story
in Viet Nam. Information from
the North is scarce, but there is
some fairly reliable reporting from
Europeans able to go in and out.
These sources report the division
and a victory of the pro-Chinese
faction dating back to last April,
when some pro-Moscow elements
were removed from important but
lower-echelon positions.

There were these developments
yesterday as the President met
again with top advisors:
Arbitration
The White House promised
"prompt and full study" of Pope
Paul VI's suggestion for ending
the war by a UN arbitration
through neutral nations.
Privately, U.S. sources doubt'
that the Communists would aban-
don their previous refusal to take
the issue to the United Nations.
But administration officials are
pleased with the Pope's praise
of Johnson's peace campaign as
history-making, reasonably and
honorably intended.
Critic of U.S. Policy
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), a
bitter critic'of Johnson's Viet
Nam policy, introduced a resolu-
tion aimed at forcing a test vote
on what he termed Johnson's
claimed authority to conduct "an
undeclared and illegal war."
This followed some sharp sen-
ate attacks on U.S. government
policy Friday and calls for pro-
longing the bombing pause.
But Sen. Russell B. Long (D-
La), assistant majority leader,
said a 1964 resolution which Morse
attacked was "a declaration of
war." And he chided Morse in-
directly by saying, "This is not

continued their tactics.
At the outset Mansfield asked
unanimous consent to approve Fri-

Fannin Stalls
Sen. Paul J. Fannin (R-Ariz),
acting in place of GOP leader
Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois,
objected.
"The objection comes too late,"
Mansfield put in.
But Sen. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont),
presiding, ruled that Fannin was
on his feet in time. Mansfield
withdrew his protest.
Mansfield then asked that when
the Senate quits Saturday it re-
cess until 10 a.m. Monday - two
hours earlier than normal.
Fannin and Sen. Sam J. Ervin,
Jr. (D-NC) objected to that.

uing objections, Mansfield at one
point moved to adjourn and to
demand a roll-call vote on the is-

You can read 150-200 pages an hour using the ACCELERATED READING method.
You'll learn to comprehend at speeds of 1,000 to 2,000 words a minute. And retention is
excellent.
This is NOT a skimming method; you definitely read every word.
You can apply the ACCELERATED READING method to textbooks and factual mate-
rial as well as to literature and fiction. The author's style is not lost when you read at these
speeds. In fact, your accuracy and enjoyment in reading will be increased.
Consider what this new reading ability will enable you to accomplish-in your required
reading and in the additional reading you want to do.
No machines, projectors, or apparatus are used in learning the ACCELERATED READ-
ING method. Thus the reader avoids developing any dependence upon external equipment in
reading.
An afternoon class and an evening ctass in ACCELERATED READING will be taught
each TUESDAY adjacent to the U. of M. campus, beginning on February 15.
