D ibeek: Moscow

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press special Correspondent
To the Soviet Communist
party leaders, the Czechoslovak
who personifies, resistance to
their dictation must be the
prime example of an "apparat-
chik" gone wrong.
Alexander Dubcek's back-
ground, his training, his care-
ful schooling in Moscow's top
party school, all should have,
molded him into a perfect
model of a Moscow-oriented
Communist leader, a depend-
able member of the apparatus
who would never fail to do the
Kremlin's bidding.
It hasn't turned out that
way. Dubcek has become a sym-
bol of Czechoslovak hopes for
liberation from Moscow domin-
ation, hopes for a freer society
within the framework of a
Communist regime, and hopes
for relief from the economic
stagnation brought on by the

stifling atmosphere of a Soviet-
model bureaucracy.
The Czechoslovaks once were
skeptical about Dubcek because
of his background. Now they
are singing his praises and vow-
ing total support for him in
his tense showdown with the
entire leadership of the Soviet
Communist party.
Dubcek's long, needle-pointed
nose has been the subject of af-
fectionate comment by Czecho-
slovaks, who say of him that
when he is coming on stage for
a public appearance the audi-
ence sees the nose first and
then the rest of the man.
"But it is a strong nose," a
Czechoslovak willadd, admir-
ingly. It adds character to a
handsome face and makes his
confident grin all the more in-
fectious.
In the five years since he en-
tered the top leadership in
Czechoslovakia after becoming

man gone
first secretary of the Commun- Alexa
ist party in Slovakia, Dubcek the Jan
developed a style which grad- to carry
ually set him apart from the the Naz
ordinary "apparatchik." He was kill

WITHOUT A BATTLE:
1,000 infiltraters enter Saigon

S
A'

SAIGON (/P)-A frustrated al-
lied command still finds it hard
to believe that the enemy has
massed troops around Saigon and
sent 1,000 terrorists into the cap-
ital virtually without a major
fire fight.
The- U.S. and South Vietnamese
military brass knew what was
going on but thousands of allied
ground troops sweeping around
the capital could not catch the
enemy in strength or provoke a
major jungle battle that might
save the city from bitter street
fighting.
Allied infantrymen also failed
to trap the enemy when a num-
ber of major units moved to the
northwest to menace the capital
of Tay Ninh Province.
UNDER THE NOSES
The massive movement of mor-
tars, rockets and ammunition is
continuing. The supplies are bur-
ied in caches sometimes right un-
der the noses of allied troops
around the immediate perimeter
of Saigon.
The speed and coordination of
the enemy movements has stirred
frank admiration among some
U.S. officers. They say it is mo-
bile guerrilla warfare at its finest.
But the brass finds it nerve rack-
ing and maddening.
One U.S. officer, a veteran of
Vietnam fighting, gestured help-
lessly at a vast expanse of rice
paddy, swamp, criss-crossing can-
as, villages and pineapple groves,
where he had been searching for
weeks for an enemy battalion just
southwest of Saigon.
Tryout tonight
for local plays
Tryouts for two original one-act
plays by Ann Arbor playwrights
will be held tonight at Canterbury
House beginning at 7:00. The di-
rectgrs, Fritz and Mary Lyon, say
they need actors, technical con-
sultants, people to work on pub-
licity, and all sorts to work on an
improvisational project. Every-
body is welcome - extensive ex-
perience is unnecessary.
The two plays are "Anika," by
Fritz Lyon and "Where Oh Where
Has the Holy Ghost Gone?" by
Peter Griffith. They will be per-
formed August 22, 23 and 24 at
Canterbury House.

"There is a battalion out there
spread out over five square miles,"
he said. "They have. about 350,
men and I'll bet no more than 10
are in any one spot. They're holed
up in tunnels and underground
rooms during the day and then
hit the road at night. The popula-
tion knows where they are but
they won't say. Either they sup-
port the enemy or they are scared
to death of repricals."
A NUISANCE
Senior American officers believe
there are 15,000 enemy troops
within 48 hours march of Saigon.
Dispersed, they are a nuisance,
planting mines and booby traps.
U.S. commanders are waiting
for the time when the scattered
companies merge into battalions
and regiments for the expected
major offensive. This period, when
the units join up and begin mov-
ing in for the big push is the best
and last chance for allied troops
to catch their foe in the open.
One senior U.S. commander said
it would take five divisions to
make the inner defenses of Sai-

gon impregnable. Only two divi- of drowning in their heavy field
sions are on the line. gear.

but it is well-known that police
often accept bribes from travelers
who say they want to get to the
market early, and the searches
and roadblocks are not accomp-
lishing their purpose.
Arms and people are hidden at
the bottom of sacks of rice and
beneath baskets of vegetables on
trucks,
U.S. strategists shy the key to
preventing enemy infiltration is
control of the countryside at
night. But some officers say it is
impossible to patrol the waterways
spilling into Saigon's back alleys
because the troops would be con-
stantly falling into canals, splash-
ing noisily and running the risk

Tight-lipped peasants in the
hamlets around Saigon are no
help. American soldiers recently
found an enemy mortar and ex-
plosives cached 150 yards from
the house of a minor South Viet-
namese official.
"You just can't tell me no one
knew that this stuff was being
buried last night or that guy, in
the house doesn't know what's
going on in his own, front yard,"
said a corpqral.
"We just aren't going, to get
anywhere until we get some co-
operation from the people. Man,
if you can't get it in Saigon,
where in hell are you going to get
it in this coui try?"
