WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22,1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE t WEDNESDAY JUNE 22, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TURE~ *REVOLT COLLAPSING: Ky Arrests Buddhist During Hunger Strike Discusses Reducing Forces in Europe i TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS: Senate Committee Approves Strict Auto Safety Proposal SAIGON ()-Premier Nguyen 4 Cao Ky capped his operations against Buddhist dissidents by ar- resting one of their militant lead- ers, Tri Quang, on the 14th day of his hunger strike yesterday. Quang was flown from a hos- pital in Hue to a hospital in Sai- gon, while Ky cautiously renewed f' peace talks with other Buddhist leaders. Collapse of the power play by the chiefs of a Buddhist minority against the military gdvernment and its American support could free regiments of South Vietna- mese troops from turmoil in Sai- gon and Hue for renewed field duty. Against this background, 2000 or more Americans of the 101st Airborne and 1st Cavalry, Airmo- bile, Divisions smashed at heav- ily fortified positions of the Red battalion in Phu Yen Province north of Tuy Hoa, a coastal base 240 miles northeast of Saigon. Tunnels, Logs The Communists fought from tunnels and log bunkers to keep a toehold on the eastern flank of the highland area. This is an area they have long wished to control and thus cut South Viet Nam in two. Two major battles earlier this month were around Pleiku and Kontum, on the western flank. The Communist force has lost 69 known dead and probably many more. However, headquar- ters has not yet said whether the unit was a hard-core guerrilla outfit or a North Vietnamese reg- ular battalion. Much previous fighting in the highlands has been against North Vietnamese regulars who infiltrat- nists went to their previously for- tified hideout, The virtual collapse of the Bud- dhist revolt was emphasized by the arrest of Quang and the mili- tant leader of the Buddhist youth movement, Bun Ton. The monk's departure under guard caused lit- tle evident concern in Hue, a Buddhist stronghold now in the hands of government troops and police. About 20 monks and nuns held a small demonstration, ask- ing for his return. Quang was spurning solid food in a fast he said would be main- tained until President Johnson canceled American support of the government and the ruling gen- erals resigned. Troops and police kept several hundred other Buddhists penned up for the fourth day within the institute compound, despite their plea to the International Red Cross that they were menaced by disease and starvation. Cherry Bombs Great Kin g in Mississippi WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said yesterday the United States would reduce its armed man- power in Europe if the Soviet Union cut its forces in the Com munist East. But McNamara would not say whether the United States has discussed this possibility with Mos- sow. He said that is a matter of diplomacy, not defense. And he told senators investigat- ing the problems that beset the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion: "It would be unwise for our na- tion today to reduce its combat capability in Europe:" Curtailment He said a curtailment of U.S. combat capability there would be prudent only if the Communists made reciprocal concessions, poli- tical or military. McNamara said he draws a dis- tinction between combat capabil- ity and manpower or expendi- tures. He said there are legiti- mate pressures now for reduc- tion in the level of U.S. forces in Europe. "They must be seriously consid-. ered," he said. "However, it should be clearly understood that the U.S. has no plans to diminish its com- bat capability in Europe." McNamara said that by Decem- ber, the U.S. will again have 225,- 000 men in Europe, a level which he said had dipped by about 15,- 000 because of "minor fluctua- tions of normal replacement and turnover rates." Capability "Let me say simply and cate- gorically that the U.S. is capable of maintaining its combat capabil- ity in Europe while continuing to meet planned troop deployments to Southeast Asia." While McNamara testified be- fore the Senate Government Oper- ations subcommittee on national security, former Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon discuss- ed NATO problems with the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee. Both Dillon and McNamara said French withdrawal from the mili- tary structure of NATO will be inconvenient, perhaps expensive, but not crippling to the alliance. "It appears reasonable to be- lieve that France still intends to oppose a Soviet attack should such aggression take place," said Dil- lon, once U.S. ambassador to Paris. "It would be undignified and would serve no useful purpose for us to argue or quibble with France about her basic decision," Dillon said. "Nothing can be accomplish- ed by showing resentment. Noth- ing is to be gained by name-call- ing." Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark) said it seems possible that the Moscow visit of French President Charles de Gaulle might open new avenues of discussion with the So- viet Union. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D- NY), questioning McNamara at a session which drew a standing- room crowd, said he would like to see the U.S. take a leading role in seeking possible avenues to a Eu- ropean settlement. WASHINGTON (P)---A "much tougher" auto safety bill than President Johnson sought or auto makers proposed-requiring man- datory federal standards - was approved unanimously yesterday by the Senate Commerce Commit- tee. The description of the measure was given by Committee Chairman Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash), who said "we think" the bill, fashiond in weeks of hearings, will reduce deaths and injuries in auto accidents, if it becomes law. The committee authorized spend- ing $51 million over the next three years to set up the standards. The administration had asked $18 mil- lion but Magnuson said the com- mittee's plan is so much more comprehensive that considerably more money would be needed. Interim Standards The measure directs the secre- tary of commerce to set interim federal standards by next Jan. 31, with the expectation that these would apply to 1968 model cars. A year later, on Jan. 31, 1968, the secretary would be required to lay down the first permanent safe- ty standards. These would be re- vised and kept up to date every two years after that. The mandatory standards would apply to American and foreign cars, trucks, buses and motor scooters sold in this country, The committee rejected an in- dustry suggestion that a cost fac- tor be included in deciding on standards. The committee also rejected, over Magnuson's objection, setting criminal penalties for manufactur- ers who violate the bill's provi- sions. But included are fines of up to $400,000 for a related se- ries of violations. The government would also have a right to get injunctions to pre- vent any violation of the stand- ards. But the committee inserted lan- guage to allay industry fears of antitrust prosecution of the auto makers work together to develop safety devices. The secretary would be required to consult with state officials and the industry before establishing standards. And the secretary would be au- thorized to undertake extensive testing and research to guide him in framing standards and to set up a special traffic accident re- search center, Magnuson said the interim standards the committee hopes will be required for 1968 models will be based on such things as seat belts, padded dashboards, im- pact-absorbing steering columns, exhaust control devices and back- up lights. . I r a HILLEL GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL presents A TALK. and DISCUSSION PHILADELPHIA, Miss. (R) - A throng of hostile, jeering whites threw cherry bombs and shouted threats yesterday as Martin Luth- er King told a crowd of Negroes at the Neshoba County Courthouse of "men with hatred on their faces, who want to turn this country backwards." The Negroes were stoned as they marched to the downtown area from a church a mile away. One man was clubbed. Two camera- men were manhandled and their equipment smashed. White youths wielding ax handles and hoes grabbed Negroes in the line of march and started fights that were broken up by police. "I'm not afraid of any man," King shouted as the heckling and disorder mounted. "Before I will be a slave, I will be dead in my grave." King flew to Philadelphia to lead an anniversary memorial service for three civil rights work- ers who were slain near here two years ago. He was joined by a de- tachment from the Mississippi march, which reached Yazoo City yesterday, and local Negroes+ Numbering about 100, the group walked from the Mt. Nemo Bap- tist Church to the Neshoba Coun- ty jail to the courthouse. The man who initiated the Mississippi march, James H. Mer- edith, said in New York he would join the trek tomorrow or Fri- day, and continue into Jackson. "'WHY JEWS ARE DIFFERENT" Martin Gold, Assistant Professor of Psychology Sunday, June 26, 2 P.M.
