Gen. Ramsey Clark yesterday and aired a long list of complaints about the quality of justice as they see it. Returning to the building where they were locked out the night be- fore, the marchers found the door open to 115 of them. They were led through lines of police into an auditorium for an audience with Clark. The attorney general thought they wanted to hear his response to demands made earlier by cam- paign leaders for action by his department against discrimination in jobs, education and housing. But he was barely launched into a brief statement when he was interrupted by Rudolfo Gon- zalez, leader of the Mexican- American contingent of the cam- paign, who said the demonstrators had come not to listen but to talk. Clark was permitted to finish his glowing acount of his depart- ment's achievements in enforcing various antidiscrimination laws was received in absolute silence.

NAIVE Gonzalez called Clark "naive or blind" if he thinks discrimination has been ended and said the civil rights laws and their many amendments "are not worth the paper they're written on." "We want a complete change, a complete new philosophy of justice," said Gonzalez. Other spokesmen for the dem- onstrators added to the catalogue of complaints in a session that lasted for hours-so long that an- other announced march on the Office of Economic Opportunity, was called off for the day. The admission of the marchers to the Justice Department was hailed by march leaders as a vic- tory. Clark had refused to let in more than 25 representatives Mon- day and the offer was rejected as inadequate. SONGFEST Forecasts of the first mass ar- rests in the Poor People's Cam- paign fizzled Monday night when a demonstration turned into a songfest at the Justice Depart- ment. Campaign leaders voiced re- peated predictions of arrests amid a rising tone of militancy in the eight-hourndemonstration that lasted into thebnight Monday. Protesters blocked the closed doors of one building entrance and marched in the street in front of police, but no clash came. Meanwhile, Hosea Williams, the demonstration field marshall, said the shantytown population had shrunk from its peak of 3,000 to 1,750 yesterday after two weeks of rain. French borrow to support franc 10, Millon strikers defy de Gaulle, decide to maintain general strike PARIS UP) - The French government borrowed nearly three quarters'of a billion dQllars from the International Monetary Fund to bolster the franc yesterday while most of France's 10 million strikers stayed on strike in defiance of the Gaullist regime. With drawing privileges of $1.8 billion, President Charles de Gaulle's regime withdrew $745 million. to meet part of the cost of nearly three weeks of industrial paralysis. Meanwhile, thousands of anti-strike demonstrators marched in Paris',in support of President Charles , de Gaulle.-xTi Paris was paralyzed at the even- ing rush hour by a colossal traffic v i en e jam as motorists made use of newly available gasoline. Taxis, buses and subways remained idle.. -Associated Press Campaigners Gonzalez and Father Groppi address attorney general MAY AFFECT PEACE TALKS: Giap says U.S. 'wants to get out' PARIS (P) - A tough statement by North Vietnam's top military leader cast a new cloud over the preliminary Vietnam peace talks yesterday. On the eve of resumption of the talks, in recess since Friday, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, who negotiated the removal of French forces in 1954, declared that U.S. rulers had lost faith in victory and are seek- ing a way of getting out of Viet-j nam "with honor." Communist students blunt attack on Tito! BELGRADE (P) - Communist party student leaders, working in- side Belgrade University's occu- pied campus, appeared yesterday to have blunted an undergraduate attack on the government of Pres- ident Tito, - with the help of a ban on street meetings and pa- rades. Informants said the Commun- ist student cadres regained con- trol over the student rank and file by siding with their demands and joining their charges of po- lice brutality growing out of two days of clashes with the authori- ties. The clashes marked the first violent protest in the country since the Communist takeover after World War II. Banners denouncing the police and proclaiming "Down with Red Bourgeoisie" still hung from a balcony on the occupied admins- tration building of the university, but no fighting or incidents were reported yesterday. The young Communists were pressing the city's 30,000 students to talk out complaints with the government and stop demonstrat- ing. Grievance meetings went on in colleges and university branches, apparently with government ap- proval because they did not spill over into the streets. Although many of the com- plaints dealt with the details of student life, the protest was a broad based one against this Com- munist nation, whose people are the most prpsperous in the Com- munist world. The students demanded democ- ratization of the Communist par- ty, complaining that it fostered a rich, new class. They also de- manded freedom of the press and abolition of social privileges. The calls seemed to be for a' type of reform like that which has gone on in Czechoslovakia, a na- tion many Yugoslavs now con- sider more liberal than their own~. Giap said the people of Vietnam are determined to fight on until the United States gets out. "The American government dis- plays the desire to get out of this war .. . To have peace the Amer- icans must put an end to their aggression and withdraw their troops. It is that simple," Giap said. Publication of the interview, given at "the end of May,'' and its timing left little doubt that it was aimed at the peace talks, There had been speculation that tl-e arrival on the scene of Le Duc Tho, a high-ranking member of the ruling Communist politburo in Hanoi, might mean a shift in North Vietnam's position. The Giap statements raised sev- eral possibilities:. -Hanoi may be involved in an elaborate maneuver connected with the talks.,, -The statement could mean' a division of opinion in the Hanoi Politburo itself on the course of the war and the price for peace. -Hanoi may actually believe that the United States has lost faith in its military power so far as South Vietnam is concerned. Should either the second or third possibility be the case, these talks could go on for many months, beyond the American presidential elections. Indeed, the elections seem to figure much in Hanoi's calculations. Giap indi- cated this. "The rulers of the United States," he said, "wanted to make the year 1968, the electoral year, a year of success in Vietnam which, according to the hopes of President Johnson, could serve their internal political ambitions." Such hopes, he claimed, now have been dashed by U.S. inabil- ity to achieve a victory. The im- plication seems to be that the will of the United States will be fur- ther eroded in the six months be- fore the elections. Perhaps Hanoi~ wants to see the shape of the next U.S. administration before moving too far in the talks. Referring to the "rulers" of the United States, Giap said that: since 1967 they had doubted the power of the Americans to resolve the problem of South Vietnam by force, but that now the problem has become: "How to get out of this war? How to lose the war?" He claimed the Americans had failed in all their objectives: to exterminate the Viet Cong, to pacify the countryside, to seal off the South, to destroy the economic and military potential of the Nprth or to "consolidate the pup- pet government." As for the air war in the korth, hsaid, "An air force will never decide the outcome of a war." In Lyon, rival groups of stu- dents battled furiously in the uni- versity. The Lyon fighting began when a group of law students tried to invade the university which has been occupied for days by leftist students opposed to the regime. The law students wanted to clear the university in order to take their year end exams. Boy- cott of the exams has become a symbol of left wing students call-' ing for the overthrow of the re- gime.r The situation elsewhere was largely one of hopeful waiting while union members consulted their leaders and voted on ac ceptance of government-manage- ment proposals. A key sector was the railways. After a Monday night bargaining session, Transport Minister Jean Chamant announced an agreement with union leaders which would provide for wage hikes of from 12 to 17 per cent. The Finance Ministry gave a first, slight indication of the cost of the strike by announcing the nations' reserves of gold and for- eign currenciest slumped $306 mil .,lion last month to $5,720,500,000. in Italy ROME ) - Striking factor3 workers rioted in Lanciano and new student violence exploded in Turin yesteda' while armed po- lice kept, order at the University of Rome, a scene of turmoil over the weekend. In Naples, police with clubs broke up a march by nearly 200 employes of local schools demand- ing higher wages. In Genoa, 1,000 workers and students marched downtown to demonstrate solidarity with French workers and students. USE GAS Riot squads used tear, gas to check the Turin disorders, the second student outbreak there since Saturday, and to drive back the strikers at L anciano, east of Rome near the Adriatic Sea. The strikers, members of the Communist-led General Confed- eration of Labor, smashed win- dows in the City Hall and other buildings, set fire to a postal truck and battled police with stones and bricks. In downtown Turin, industrial capital of Italy, members of the "student movement" organizing nationwide agitation at universi- ties had raised the red flag of revolution and the black flag of anarchy on steps of the main uni- versity building. STUDENTS CLASHi Armed with nail-studded clubs, the left-wingers clashed with groups of opposing students-mod- erates and rightists-who tried to storm the stairs and rip the flags away. At least a dozen students were reported in jured in a fight with fists and clubs before the police arrived to Intervene. A .handful of students returned to the University of'. Rome to resume final examinations under police protection. Police summoned by the rector, Pietro Agostino D'Avack,' forced their way onto the barricaded school grounds Monday and clear- ed. the school of the more than 2,000 rebellious students wo had occupied it since Friday night. There was no sign that the stu- dent- disorders and the strikers' action in Lanciano and Naples were directly connected.
