Paris talks may
split Viet politics
Vice President Ky wary of Thieu's
position concerning talks with NLF

Hanoi adamant on
total bombing halt

SAIGON (A)-South Vietnam's
political generals appear headed'
toward a showdown in a dispute
4 arising indirectly from possibilities
of a negotiated peace in Vietnam.
A flood of reports say Vice
President Nguyen Cao Ky is on
the verge of an open break with
President Nguyen Van Thieu. He
apparently suspects Thieu of a
secret willingness to negotiate
a with the Viet Cong, rumors say.
The main immediate argument
is over Thieu's announced inten-
tion of replacing Premier Nguyen
Van Loc, one of Ky's close asso-
ciates. Critics have said Loc has
not acted firmly enough in deal-
ing with problems arising from
the enemy's Tet offensive in Feb-
ruary.
Ky has let it be known that he
and a powerful group of army
commanders are resolutely op-
posed to Thieu's choice of former
Premier Tran Van Huong as the
new premier.
Thieu said May 9 he planned to
announce a new government this
week. The announcement has een
repeatedly postponed.
Qualified Vietnamese sources
said yesterday the long personal
rivalry between Thieu and Ky is
only one element in the loom-
ing crisis.
Behind it lie old quarrels be-
tween Buddhists and Roman1
Catholics and between Southern-
ers and Northern exiles in the
Saigon regime.

Some informants say, however, I
the ultimate issue is whether
South Vietnam should recognize
the military stalemate and pre-
pare to negotiate or should steel
itself to fight to the end.,
Both Thieu and Huong are on'
record as opposing any deal with
the Viet Cong. But they seem less
adamant than Ky, who has re-1
peatedly called on his country-
men to continue the struggle un-
til total victory.
Thieu is being filled in on' the
Paris peace talks by U.S. Am-
bassador Ellsworth Bunker. He
seems to have overcome his initial
anxiety about7 American peace
moves.
Thieu sent an observer delega-
tion to Paris despite opposition
from Ky and other politicians
and army leaders who see only a
,military solution.
Thieu has much support among
the South Vietnam population,
both Buddhist and Catholic
which displays war weariness.
Ky has strong backing from
nearly a million refugees from
North Vietnam-mainly Roman
Catholics-whose only hope of re-
turning to their homes is a col-
lapse' of the Communist regime
in Hanoi.
Ky also has the apparent sup-,
port of South Vietnam's chief of
staff, Gen. Cao Van Vien, and of
three of the country's four mili-
tary region commanders.

LONDON OP)-A 48-hour boom
took the free market price of gold
to new peaks yesterday causing
fears that a fresh money crisis
involving the dollar may be ap-
proaching unless swift counter-
action is taken.
Britain's shaky pound sterling
and the French franc were chief
sufferers, although for different
reasons.
Without their decline, the Amer-
ican dollar which took the strain
relatively well, would have looked
weak.
In contrast, some key European

prices hit peak

currencies rode out the flash
storm. The Swiss franc, the
Deutschemark and Sweden's kro-
ner all gained against sterling.
A day of active dealing on the
London bullion market ended with
the free price of gold settling at
around $41.55 an ounce - 1.22%1
higher than Wednesday's closing
level. At one point during the day
the price hit a record $41.75.
The offical price is $35 an
ounce.

Partial Resurrection, U.S.A.
'Poor' demonstrat1o
slated despite,, deficit

WASHINGTON (/P)-A leader'
of the Poor People's Campaign
said yesterday it plans a huge
Memorial Day demonstration by
one million persons-even though
it is still $3 million short of hous-
ing the protesters already ar-
riving. And he called for a halt
in enlistments in the campaign
for the present.
The Rev. Bernard Lafayette, the
campaign coordinator, told a news
conference $3 million is needed to
complete construction of the
shantytown settlement near the
Lincoln Memorial. He gave no ex-
planation why the simple, un-,
painted plywood shelters would'
cost such a sum.
Another 900 protesters arriving
from New England and the North-

east were halted in the suburb
of Greenbelt, Md.,. where hasty
arrangements were made to give
them bedding in church base-
ments for at least two nights. An-
other caravan has been delayed
in Pittsburgh, Pa., since Wednes-
day night.
The Rev. Ralph David Aber-
nathy told a church conference
in Minneapolis, Minn., that the
encampment is running out of
food, blankets, medicine and other
necessities.
Abernathy, leader of the cam-
paign, said the protest march may
be the nation's last chance to
solve its problems "in a decent
way." He said, "Time is not run-
ning out-it already has run out."
While no precise bookkeeping on
the march is available publicly
and estimates of the shortage of
funds vary with each official ques-
tioned, Lafayette conceded, "We
are in a financial crisis at this
time."
He issued an, appeal against any
more enlistments in the Poor
People's Campaign until the Me-
morial Day rally because the
movement lacks the funds to
house them.
Lafayette gave no detail of the
holiday demonstration, but said,
"We Ore expecting no less than a
million people." He offered no
substantiation for the estimate.
The figure would be five times
as high as the 200,000 who par-
ticipated in the historic civil
rights rally here in 1963.
Pressed with questions on how
the Poor People's Campaign may
continue to meet its multimillion
dollar costs, Lafayette said, "We
feel the American people will come
through."

Pick up a half-barrel of Buda

. with foam) and the tapping equip-
ment on the day of the party. Just
set the beer in a tub of ice to keep
it cold.

2 Just before the party begins, tap
four beer. First, make sure the
beer faucet is closed (you wouldn't
want to waste a drop of Beechwood
Aged Bud!). Then, insert the faucet-
and-pump unit into the upper valve
of the keg, give it a quarter turn
clockwise, and lock it in place by
tightening the lower wing nut.

3 Next, insert the lager tap
in the lower valve of the
keg and give it a quarter turn.
Now, set the keg upright in a
tub and pack ice around it.
4 You're now ready to draw
beer. Pump pressure to the
proper point for good draw,

there is to it, but there's no rule
against sampling just to make
