Kosygin:
Czechs not
worred
HARPSUND, Sweden ()-So-
viet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin
said last night the Czechoslovak
people "were never worried" about
Russian troops and that the West-
ern press had sensationalized re-
ports about the Red army's pro-
longed stay in their country.
"The Czechs were never wor-
ried about it," Kosygin said in
answer to a question when re-
porters caught him outside the
summer residence of Swedish Pre-
mier Tage Erlander. "It's only the
Western press."
Kosygin referred to the cori-
tinued presence of Soviet troops
in Czechoslovakia after Warsaw
Pact war games ended June 30.
The liberal regime into Prague
announced Thursday that Rus-
sians would begin pulling out to-
day.
But concern about the troops
and new Soviet attacks on the
Czechoslovak reform movement
had, in fact, been voiced in Pra-
gue newspaper.
The trade union daily Prace
charged yesterday that criticism
of the democratization process in
Moscow's Pravda "openly sup-
ported" the regime of former
President Antonin Novotny, a
Stalinist hard-liner.
"It is difficult to evaluate the
article otherwise-in connection
with the current attitude of the
Soviet press to Czechoslovakia-
than as a criticism of the present,
apd at the same time open sup-
port of the former leadership of
the Czechoslovak Communist par-
ty and the system which it created
in the party and in the country,"
Prace said..
"The Soviet press in half a year
has not been able to reprint at
least the essentials of the Czecho-
slovak party's action program,"
correspondent Lubomir Subrt
wrote from Moscow.
Here on a state visit, Kosygin
spent most of the day touring the
Swedish provinces.
He told a Swedish manufacturer
that Soviet peas are greener and
Soviet tractors are stronger than
those in Sweden.

WASHINGTON (P) - Senate Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois defended yesterday President Johnson's
right to appoint two old friends to the Supreme Court - and

on the nominations of Justice Abe Fortas to be chief justice
and Judge Homer Thornberry to become an associate justice.
Sen. Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich.), who opposes the
nominations, indicated befpre the committee that he might

SAIGON (RP)-Extra guards were
posted in Saigon yesterday after
officials reported Viet Cong sui-
cide squads may strike inside the
capital this weekend. Some
thought this might be a prelude to
an offensive by strong enemy
forces waiting outside the city.
Shortly after security was tight-
ened, a U.S. soldier was shot to
death in populous district in down-
town Saigon. Police said he was
slain by two men and they found
two enemy shells believed to be
from AK47 assault rifles, the
standard weapon of the enemy.
Extra guards were placed
around the U.S. Embassy, the
presidential palace where Presi-
dent Nguyen Van Thieu has his
offices, and other major instal-
lations and buildings.
A U.S. mission spokesman said
the beefed up security guard were
i
"to provide extra safety in case
the attack does come off this
weekend."
Police and paramilitary police
units were placed on 100 per cent
alert. More were sent to guard
bridges leading into the city and
to checkpoints on the outskirts.
U.S. authorities believe a new
attack on Saigon will be designed
to show the government cannot
defend its own capital and to
bolster North Vietnam's position
at the Paris peace talks with the
United States.
About 1,000 Viet Cong have in-
filtrated Saigon recently, highly
placed Vietnamese sources said.
The sources said government
authorities "do not feel the in-
filtrators will do anything until
they get outside support."
This was taken to mean the
Viet -Cong who have come in were
terrorists, demolition experts,
commandos and guides who would
not go into action until assaults
were launched from areas sur-
rounding Saigon.
Intelligence reports have in-
dicated enemy movement was
going on outside Saigon and that
ground assaults will be linked with
rocket and mortar attacks. These
reports have said enemy forces
would make a more determined
effort in a new attack to create
chaos with suicide-type squads in
the center of Saigon.
Earlier attacks in the lunar new.
year at the end of January and,
early in May concentrated in out-
lying city areas and in Cholon,
the largely Chinese quarter, al-
though in February suicide squads
assaulted the U.S. Embassy,
Enemy forces within easy strik-
ing distance of Saigon are be-
lieved to total about 11,000 men,
Vietnamese intelligence sources
say, with perhaps 10,000 more
spread farther out around the
capital.
The exact number of allied
troops assigned to the defense
of Saigon is secret, but there are
more than two divisions of U.S.
and South Vietnamese troops on
the city perimeter and another
six divisions in positions farther
out.
Another citywide defense drill
was scheduled for noon today, fol-
lowing the first two weeks ago. In
these alerts, sirens are sounded,
all traffic is halted and people are
required to take shelter.
Security measures in the al-
ready tense capital will be height-
ened over the weekend for the
visit of Defense Secretary Clark
M. Clifford. '
