A Necessity
Manifesto Says U.S.
Presence Preferable
To Viet Cong Regime
SAIGON (R)-Militant Buddhists
came out yesterday with a state-
ment that any peace negotiations
now would mean "surrender to
the Viet Cong." It was surprisingly
in line with the thinking of Ngu-
yen Cao Ky, the premier they want
to depose.
There was even a declaration
in a 15-point manifesto issued by
the Unified Buddhist Church that
the presence of the U.S. armed
forces is "obviously needed, tem-
porarily."
"Although this presence has
caused many consequences," the
manifesto said, "it is still better
than a Viet Cong regime."
Attempt To Woo Americans R
These and other signs of mod-
eration, including a disavowal of Secreta
neutralism, developed in an ap-
parent effort of the politically r fiv
conscious Buddhist minority to
woo American support for their
efforts to speed restoration of PAY
civilian rule.
There was little doubt that the
United States would continue to
back the military government,.But
American diplomats seemed pleas-
ed with the overtures, however
they might regard the Buddhist
declaration against peace talks.

gotiations at this stage. President

M. Dirksen of Illinois renewed
yesterday his request that Presi-

congressional leaders of both par-
ties to review the Viet Nam war.
Dirksen, the SenateRepublican
leader, said the administration is
not being "candid or consistently

said he feels there have been

for a White House conference

NEW YORK ()-James H.'
Meredith announced yesterday
that, his doctor permitting, he
will resume his Mississippi "march
against fear" June 16.
"I will continue this mission and
arrive in Jackson," he said, in
reference to his planned 225-mile
march from Memphis, Tenn., to
Jackson, Miss. It was interrupted
Monday when he suffered super-
ficial wounds from a shotgun.
In his prepared statement,
Meredith also said:
"I am pleased that there are
others who share my desire to
assist registration of new voters
in Mississippi.
Mississippians Enthusiastic
"On our walk, we discovered
much enthusiasm and hundreds
of Mississippians and I would like
to continue the walk so that I
may personally talk withmany
more registered voters.
"It is my belief from the warm
reception received along the road,
both in Tennessee and Mississippi,
that my walk may have done
something to alleviate the heavy
burden of fear which rests upon
Mississippi Negroes."
Meredith March
Meanwhile in Mississippi, Negro
volunteers tramped south along
a Mississippi highway yesterday
on their symbolic Meredith march.
One man collapsed and died.
About 300 state and county
police, leapfrogging busily along
the line, mounted guard.
Civil rights leaders were repeat-
edly emphasizing that all who join
the long trek must accept non-
violence as the rule of conduct-
at least for the duration.

The sound of several gunshots
caused a brief flurry as the column
neared Senatobia, eight miles
north of here.
Highway patrolmen hustled into
a field to investigate. They said
the shots were fired by five white
boys, aged 7 to 12, who were
potting bottles with .22-caliber
rifles.
Meredith's statement in New
York Wednesday that he would
return to Mississippi armed, if
necessary, was a brisk topic among
Negroes crowded along the high-
way north of Senatobia, waiting
for the day's march to start.

"I have not lost confidence in

frequently opposed militants in

King added that Meredith, re-
garded by Mississippi Negroes as
a heroic figure in the civil rights
struggle, has "gone through great
stress and strain."
Meredith, 33, broke the racial
bar at the University of Missis-
sippi in 1962. He started what he
called a "march against fear"
from Memphis last Sunday. He
was felled by two shotgun blasts
near Hernando, after walking 27
miles on the 225-mile route to the
state capital.


By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee vot-
ed yesterday to cut $117 million
from the administration's request
for foreign economic aid and its
chairman predicted moves today
to reduce military aid as well.
Administration spokesmen have
described the administration's re-
quests as a "bare-bones" proposal
that could not be safely cut..
President Johnson is asking a
total of $3.4 billion-$2 46 billion
for economic assistance and $917
million for military aid.
Chairman J. W. Fulbright (D-
Ark) said the committee voted
17-1 to approve the bill as amend-
ed but withheld a decision on
whether to combine the economic
and military authorizations into
a single measure, as requested by
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee.
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania--
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy warned
yesterday an "explosive situation"
could develop in South Africa if
relations there between blacks and
whites remained unchanged.
"I'm not predicting there'll be
bloodshed and violence," the New
York Democrat told reporters on
his arrival from white-ruled South
Africa.
"It's a very difficult problem but
I hope that's sufficient influence
