THE MICHIGAN DAILY v=f.vqr.mV arliament Approves +. vS.JEv<£Z5Z.'ssaai A iU Ir itish Arms Merger SENT TO UN: Cuban Letter Complains Of U.S. Plat for Attack HAVANA (P)--Cuba sent a list of complaints against the United States to United Nations Secretary-General U Thant yesterday, ac- cusing Washington of planning an attack on Cuba that would engulf the world in thermonuclear war. The 4000-word letter from Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa carried a veiled offer to talk out differences in meetings with United States officials. Roa told Thant that "there is no better way in a crisis like this than peaceful New Program Builds Freedom Over Labor Objections NAACP SPEECH: Rockefeller Criticizes Slow Civil Rights Effort ALBANY (/)-New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller charged yes- terday that President John F. Kennedy's 1963 civil rights program came "two years too late" and ignored three of the President's most important campaign pledges. Rockefeller's speech was followed by Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of GOV. NELSON ROCKEFELLER . . hits administration policy CUT COSTS: Dilon Notes IRS Revision WASHINGTON (M)-The Inter- nal Revenue Service will stream- line itself starting this year, hop- ing to save taxpayers $5 million a year, Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon announced yester- day. Some regional offices will be merged or their work load cut, and two regional offices will be elim- inated. This is designed to reduce the work force, reportedly by about. 200 jobs, and cut down on the overhead of office and equipment. expenses. A spokesman for the service de- scribed the reorganization as a consolidation of overhead man- agement and supervision, leaving intact all services to taxpayers. He said large field offices will be kept in all cities, which will lose re- gional or district offices. The first step will be to trim the operations in 12 of the present 62 district offices. I R 7 70 11 n "R " Colored People, who told the meet- ing that the governor had a good civil rights record. Wilkins said the Kennedy ad- ministration had "failed to keep certain Democratic platform prom- ises," but Atty. Gen. Robert Ken- nedy had filed 22 suits to protect Negro voting rights. "No other at- torney general has ever filed so many, he added. NAACP Meeting Rockefeller and Wilkins address- ed 750 persons at a meeting of the New York conference of the NAACP. Rockefeller, a potential oppon- ent of Kennedy in next year's na- tional election, has been increas- ingly critical of Kennedy on civil rights and other national issues. Rockefeller concentrated in his speech yesterday on the civil rights message the President sent to Con- gress last Thursday. Kennedy call- eor setiengthening voting rights for Negroes and new efforts to desegregate public schools. Campaign Pledge Rockefeller said Kennedy had pledged in the 1960 campaign that enactment of the Democratic civil rights platform would be "the first order of business" in 1961. In the light of that promise, Rockefeller said, the proposals are "two years _ too late." The governor said the Presi- dent's recommendations covered _ only 5 of 28 legislative recommen- dations by the federal Civil Rights Commission. Rockefeller said Kennedy had "once again remained completely ealoof from the latest efforts .to end filibusters in the Senate, which are ea principal means of frustrating civil rights legislation." Wilkins said that the "Kennedy , administration has done somenSig- a nificant things on the executive *level" in the field of civil rights. Rockefeller's criticisms of Ken- nedy drew no response from the t audience. He was cheered when he concluded with a pledge that New York state "shall remain the pio- neer, the leader, the great moral example in assuring first-class citizenship to every American." 7w 'BasePolicy On Nuclear Deterrents, Opposition Decries Skybolt 'Cover Up' By The Associated Press LONDON-Britain's Conserva- tive government yesterday won parliamentary approval of a uni- fied defense command despite La- borite charges that it was a ma- nauver to divert attention from the "Skybolt fiasco." The House of Commons rejected 333-237, a Labor no-confidence motion along straight party lines. The plan for reorganizing the three armed services under ' one cordinated command was then en- dorsed 232-237. Patrick Gordon-Walker, Labor defense spokesman, had argued Britain could best help NATO by improving its own conventional forces and scrapping Britain's nu- clear arms. Charges Cover-up He charged the government's new plan was merely to cover up the "Sklbolt fiasco" after the Unit- ed States announced abandonment of the missile. British Defense Minister Peter Thorneycroft replied that Britain's policy now is based on a nuclear deterrent, to be supplemented late in the decade by Polaris submar- ines built with United States help. Thorneycroft said Labor assum- ed that if Britain is threatened an ally will be ready to help in its defense. "I believe they are right, but it is a huge assumption to make," he said. Challenges Opposition Thorneycroft challenged the op- position to say it would be possible to beat back a major Soviet at- tack on Western Europe without nuclear weapons. "A proper defense policy must be based on a' balance of both nu- clear and conventional forces in Europe and that is our policy," he asserted. He said Labor had failed to put forward any alternative policy "or is fearful of doing so." negotiations and discussions be- tween governments." Provocative Acts The letter, which Roa asked to be distributed to all UN delega- tions, spelled out what the Cubans called provocative acts and state- ments from the United States gov- ernment; congressmen and Cuban exiles. It said the situation between the United States and Cuba has been deteriorating since the Octo- ber Soviet missile crisis. He charged that "steps are pres- ently being taken by the United States to prepare aggression against Cuba." Coinciding with the announce- ment of Roa's letter, the armed} force ministry charged that the United States staged six land and sea incidents around Cuba recent- ly. Approach Vessel In one, the ministry said, a United States Navy destroyer had "the insolence" of advancing to meet a Soviet merchant vessel as it approached Havana harbor. A Havana radio broadcast claim- ed that three United States de- stroyers harassed another fishing boat elsewhere for more than three hours. In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman denied the broadcast report and said that "we have no knowledge of any such incident. No Navy destroyer attempted to cap- ture any Cuban fishing boats, or threatened to do so." The armed forces ministry also charged that United States Navy craft molested and impaired the work of two fishing boats. Near the Guantanamo Navy base, it said that Cuban guards were stoned by United States forces inside the base compound. The government charged that American guards had opened fire on Cuban territory. Request Order On Integration JACKSON-The parents of ten Negro children asked a federal court Monday to order the first public school integration in Mis- sissippi. It was the first such suit to be filed in the state by Negro resi- dents. Mississippi Attorney-Gen- eral Joseph Patterson pledged that all resources of his office would be used in defense of the suit. RAUL ROA ... Cuban accusations NATO FORCE: Ambassador To Discuss Allied Force BONN (P)-United States Am- bassador Livingston T. Merchant arrived in Bonn yesterday to dis- cuss West Germany's role in a sea- borne multi-nation nuclear force which President John F. Kennedy has 'proposed for the Western alli- ance. The Soviet Union again de- nounced the plan as 'increasing the tempo of the arms race and said the Kremlin would have to reshape its policies if the Kenne- dy proposals are.adopted. The United States has pledged three Polaris submarines to a mul- ti-nation nuclear force under the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. Sources say it also would in- clude 25 surface ships, each carry- ing 25 Polaris missiles and manned by men of participating nations.s Merchant explained the Presi- dent's ideas to the NATO allies at a meeting in Paris and now is toring NATO capitals to discuss details. Merchant tomorrow opens three days of meetings with West Ger- man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and other West German leaders. I ..... : .x, .; ,.... (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Program of Strategic Hamlets, little known to the outside world, but vital to de- fense of South Vietnam against the Viet Cong Communist guerrillas, was recently described by Joseph L. Brent, chief of the United States Operations Mission in Vietnam in an address before the Saigon Lions Club. It is here reproduced in part, through the facilities of the South- east Asia Treaty Organization.) By JOSEPH L. BRENT Chief of the United States Operations Mission in South Vietnami SAIGON-The Strategic Ham- let Program as it is now develop- ed is, as the leaders of South Viet- nam have wished from the moment of its conception, the foundation for a far reaching social and eco- nomic revolution. It is a program based on the people and is of them, by them, and for them. It is the absolute antithesis of everything that com- munism stands for. It starts, after military clearing operations - where necessary-have been com- pleted, with the building of the strategic h a m I e t. Immediately thereafter, and for the first time in the history of Vietnam, the peo- ple then elect their own hamlet chief and council members, from among their own number, and form their own militia to .defend their own homes. This protection is reinforced by the army, the civil guard and the self defense corps (who either live in the hamlet or are within a few minutes of an alarm passed by radio). Although the United States Operations Mission is. involved in these first phases of the creation of a strategic hamlet in such ways as assisting any families which may have had to be relocated in order to join the newly organized community, in administrative training for the civic action teams which first indoctrinate the vil- lagers in the new way of life, and later for the elected hamlet lead- ers, and in helping with radio in- stallations, our real work is in as- sisting the government of South Vietnam help its people... Rural Progress The government and the USOM have jointly developed a new way of accelerating rural progress. This consists of asking the province chiefs and their staffs to draw up provincial rehabilitation and de- velopment plans focused on social and economic areas which, for one reason or another have been over- looked in the past and which rep- resent opportunities to achieve immediate developmental and psy- IT'S HERE!

These plans dif- fer from province to province ac- cording to local need and really constitute the heart of the Stra- tegic Hamlet Program. They are reviewed in Saigon by the govern- ment of South Vietnam's Inter- ministerial Strategic Hamlet Com- mittee and by USOM technicians. To strengthen this effort USOM, at the request of the government of South Vietnam, is placing rep- resentatives and resources in most of the provinces to work directly with the province chiefs and local UN Dehigates Fight Increase In Assessment UNITED NATIONS (AM)-- The United States yesterday was re- ported taking a stiff attitude to- ward proposals for it to pay more for the. Congo, Middle East and other United Nations peacekeep- ing operations. Adlai E. Stevenson, Francis T. P. Plimpton and Albert F. Bender Jr. of the United States delega- tion called on Secretary-General U Thant before a committee meeting where the United States had promised to state its posi- tion. Stevenson said the United States was sticking close to the limit established by Congress for the United States share of any U.N. budget assessed against, member countries on a compul- sory basis. The limit is 331/3 per cent and the committee has got half a dozen proposals that would re- quire the United States to exceed it, because they would have poorer countries pay proportionately less and wealthier countries propor- tionately more than they do of the regular U.N. budget. Rural Dispensaries Rural dispensaries, to be estab- lished during 1963 at selected stra- tegic locations, will service many thousand hamlets which present- ly do not have facilities of this kind available. To complement the above pro- grams, which will come from the government to the people, the gov- ernment has decided to institute a program which will originate with See SOUTH, Page 5 inhabitants. They will also work closely with the local military commanders and the military as- sistance advisory group sector ad- visors, so as to achieve full co- ordination between military and civil operations. Twenty thousand tons of chem- ical fertilizers sufficient to in- crease rice crop yields up to 250 per cent on the lands where they are applied, will be distributed to families in strategic hamlets in the poorer provinces of central Vietnam in the first six months of 1963. New Schools Hundreds of new school-rooms will be built in strategic hamlets in 1963, and students will be pro- vided with school books, pencils and paper. Special (crash) courses for teacher training are now being developed, and the use of radio ats a teaching medium will soon be studied. Plant, insect and roCent con- trol will be introduced country- wide, following up the successful experiences of this autumn, in central Vietnam, where bumper rice crops are attributed to the killing of sixteen million or more rats. New crop varieties will be intro- duced widely Loans will be made to over a tiousand poor fishing families to r.ermit them to motor- ize their sampans and projects for the improvement of nets and fish landing facilities will be continued and expanded.
