SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1966 THE MICHIGAN RAIL' PAGE THREE SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILI PAGE THREE Ho CM Minh's Advisors 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. _ __ TI!ACTT !l &'DDT, JCT QTFIA.

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 the time to make speeches the Communists can circulate behind the Iron Curtain-it encourages 14-13.Heats yrr'.r "v i Te mpers Franc In Senate Of Co Filibuster Ties Up LUXEMBOURG (P)-President Charles de Gaulle's government Saturday Session made a new effort yesterday to On Right To Work convince the other countries in the European Common Market WASHINGTON (R) - Tempers that each should keep a veto over flared in the Senate yesterday as important decisions.

It was noted that there have been periodic lulls in the guer- rilla activity in the past, followed by step-ups after the Viet Cong regrouped and built up supplies. White House Asst. press secre- tary Joseph Laitin described as "consistent with the Communist party line" and as "nothing new" Ho Chi Minh's letter to Com- munist and other government chiefs broadcast by Hanoi Radio Friday. Ho's letter denounced Johnson's 14-point peace package and his proposal for unconditional dis- cussions and said "the Vietnamese people will never submit to U.S. threats.", previous day, frequent quorum calls and lengthy speeches. They continued their tactics. At the outset Mansfield asked unanimous consent to approve Fri- day's Journal without having it read. 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. Roll-Call ApparentlyRirritated by contin- uing objections, Mansfield at one point moved to adjourn and to demand a roll-call vote on the is- sue. He also objected to a projected speech. But in the end he with- drew his motion, Fannin and Er- vin withdrew their objection to the early start Monday ,and rou- tine returned. was that the veto need not apply on other issues. Previously the French had taken the stand that any issue should be subject to the veto if a member nation claimed its national interests were en- dangered. West European leaders were trying to keep the Common Mar- ket together by finding a way to guarantee that none of the six member nations could be outvoted on matters of vital importance to The ministers from France, Italy, West Germany, Belgium,{ the Netherlands and Luxem- bourg seemed to be moving toward a solution along these lines, as proposed by the French: On dif- ficult issues special efforts would be made to reach unanimous agreement.
