George Roney's unannounced campaign for the 1968 Republican presiden- tial nomination expanded signifi- cantly this weekend with his first apparently planned plunge into the foreign policy arena. The shift marks a sharp depart- ure from Romney's previous re- luctance to discuss national is- sues, particularly the biggest one -the war in Viet Nam.. Romney suggests that the John- son Administration may have placed tog much emphasis on bombing North Viet Nam as com- pared with other means of cutting off supplies moving south from Hanoi. Romney -and Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam, met behind closed doors in Washington for more than an hour Friday to discuss the war. Neither man would reveal de- tails of their talk. But Romney's position, tenta- tively taken and still In the form- ative stage, was unveiled privately at a Washington breakfast with Detroit newsmen. He discussed some of the fac- tors he is weighing in adopting his view on the Vietnam conflict -chief among them the emphasis placed on aerial bombing of the north. Romney says that he believes saturation bombing failed to bring Germany to her knees in World War II because it could not over- come human adaptability. He says this adaptability is ev- en greater in Vietnam, where Am- erican bombers are striking at an essentially underdeveloped coun- try rather than a modern, indus- trialized nation. At the same time, Romney be- lieves the United States has a moral right to try to prevent North Vietnam from imposing its will on the south. The governor, who captured a third term by landslide in Novem- ber, has said publicly that he was not informed enough to speak au- thoritatively on the Vietnam war. Simultaneously, however, h e steadily took steps to become au- thoritative on Vietnam and other major issues. His briefing with Lodge is one example. Romney also plans a summer visit to Viet- Johnson in an election if it were nam. held today. Some observers suggested that While declining to make his Romney revealed his position candidacy official, Romney also while it still is in the embryonic has been moving along lines that stage because he was spurred by leave little doubt but that he is reports that support for him was interested in the 1968 GOP Con- cooling since he had failed to deal vention. with major issues.

Deny Use of ANSWER PEACE PLEA: Self-Indicting Israel, Syria Exchange Under Threat,~ Attack on Moa Tse-Tung Supreme Court Rules For Protection Of Charges of Aggression 4Radio Peking Asks Strays To Repent Editorial Denounces Supporters of Liu In Cultural Purge TOKYO W)-The Hong Kong Evening Post, quoting diplomatic sources in Peking, yesterday said Chinese President Liu Shao-chi under attack by Party Chairmar Mao Tse-tung,had left the Chi- nese capital with several trusted friends and gone to Shihchiacuan, a railway center 160 miles to the southwest. The paper described Shichiach- uan as a Liu stronghold where he has widespread support from fac- tory workers. The paper added that he was "ready for an all-out attack against Mao Tse-tung." In Peking, Mao's radio stations called Monday night on "strayed leaders" to repent and "join the burning force of the great cultural revolution." It admitted there was "a Jandfil" of forces opposed to Mao Tse-tung in Communist par- ty and military circles. "The Chinese Communist party ". Central Committee calls on lead- ers who made genral mistakes and those who made major mis- takes but are not anti-Socialist to immediately correct their mis- takes," said the broadcast, quot- ing an editorial in the ideological journal Red Flag. The editorial was aimed at fol- lowers of President Liu Shaochi, the chief target of the purge. It apparently did not cover Lu him- self, since he has been denounced as bourgeois-or anti-Socialist. Only Sunday, Red Flag accused Liu of forming a private army but said the 2.5 million-man Red Chi- nese army is loyal to Mao. Radio Moscow, in a Japanese language broadcast, asserted re- sistance to Mao's cultural revolu- tion was picking up force among peasants and workers throughout the mainland. Radio Peking admitted "a hand- ful of reactionary port authori- ties" are still in power in Shang- hai, the big port where bloody clashes between supporters and opponents of Mao were reported earlier this month. Railway, trans- portation, electricity and water supply systems were said to have been paralyzed for a time. The Chinese-language broadcast charged "the reactionary port au- thorities unsuccessfully attempted to paralyze port activities late in December. Peking's official New China News Agency in adispatch from Shanghai said pro-Mao revolu- tionary rebels took to the streets and hailed Mao. "The young re- bels were not afraid of hardship, suppression nor death," the agen- cy added. The Tokyo paper Asahi, citing wall bulletins posted in the streets of Peking, said the directive call- ed on "the revolutionary masses to heighten their vigilance against a handful of antiparty elements."

U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch took under study a motion to dis- iiss the charges against Baker be- cause of eavesdropping in the case, and the trial continued. Baker, 38, one-time secretary to the Senate Democrats, is charged with income tax evasion in 1961- 62, conspiracy and other offenses involving financial dealings. Wayne L. Bromley, a Washing- ton attorney who said he is now employed and once was a close friend of Baker, testified that he carried the "buggin" device on his person at a meeting in a Los An- geles hotel room, March 26, 1965. He said those in the room includ- ed Baker, Clifford Jones, former lieutenant governor of Nevada, and himself. The jury was excused from the courtroom while Bromley gave his testimony about the bugging. Later, with the jury back, he told of receiving checks made pay- able to him, of cashing them and turning the money over to Baker. His testimony included accounts of: $5,000 -Payment of a $5,000 fee to be split between Baker and Bromley for expediting the charter for the Redwood National Bank, San Ra- fael, Calif. -Clecks totaling $14,000 from first Western Financial Corp., Las Vegas, in 1963-64, made payable to Bromley. On one, he said, he borrowed the $1,000 from Baker. -Checks totaling $6,000 from United States Freight, New York, also made payable to Bromley but cashed for Baker, except for the last one, which the witness said was cashed by someone else. "-A series of $1,000 checks from Harvey Aluminum, Torrance, Cal- ifornia. The government asserted that Harvey Aluminum and Harvey Aluminum Sales paid $10,000 to Bromley, reportedly for services, and gave the money to Baker. Bromley testified that he never did any services for any of the firms. He never - performed any services either, he said, for Inter- national Marketing Associates, Inc., a consulting firm of Los Al- tos and Palo Alto Hills, Calir. $500 The government said a $500 check was involved in the matter with his firm. Bromley \said, in his testimony with the Jury out of the room, that he consented to the recording of the conversation with Baker after his lawyer informed him of an apparent attempt to get him to lie before the grand jury. Bromley testified that in mid- 1964 he told Baker that because challenge them. * * * NEW YORK-Settlement was announced yesterday of Mrs. John F.
