Led by 250 Vietnamese, Muscovite students demonstrated yesterday at the American Embassy, pro-
testing American policy in Viet Nam. United States Ambassador Foy D. Kohler protested to the
Foreign Ministry, demanding and receiving Soviet assurances that the Russians would repair the
smashed windows and ink-stained embassy walls Kohler also demanded long-term measures to guar-
antee Soviet protection of American Embassy property and personnel in Moscow.
Asian Crisis: Marking Time
WASHINGTON (P)-The South-
east Asia crisis marked time yes-
terday in the wake of two re-
taliatory air strikes against North
Viet Nam. U.S. strategists looked
for signs the Reds might act to
broaden the war but reported none
so far.
An estimated 1000 students dem-
onstrated at the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow, hurling rocks, smashing
windows and smearing the walls
with ink.
The United States denounced
the anticipated, staged attack as
"an outrage." But U.S. officials
noted the Soviets promised to
pay compensation.
From this, and from Moscow
and Peking statements which fea-
tured denunciations more than
deeds, U.S. analysts figured that
neither of the giant Communist
powers wants to expand the shoot-
ing conflict.
No Broadening?
The United States says it' does
not want to broaden the war eith-
er, that the air strikes on North
Vietnamese installations Sunday
and Monday were only in retalia-
tion for deliberate Hanoi-directed
guerrilla assaults.
Thus any decision to broaden
the conflict rests with Hanoi, Pe-
king and Moscow, U.S. officials
said.
There were indications, how-
ever, that U.S. forces were keep-
ing their guard up in case the
crisis heats up.
It was learned that certain mil-
itary forces in the United States
and Pacific have been in varying
degrees of alert since the Com-
nunists assaulted a U.S. compound
at Pleiku in South Viet Nam Sat-
urday.
Mum
Officials refuse to talk about
any alert of forces, since these de-
tails are classified.
However, air defense units in the
United States are reported to have
gone on a form of alert in con-
nection with the weekend Commu-
nist attacks in South Viet Nam
and the retaliatory air strikes by
the U.S. and South Vietnamese
against Communist North Viet
Nam.
In South Viet Nam, center of
the crisis, the alert was raised and
military men were ordered to stay
close to their duty stations in case
they should be needed.
A battery of 36 U.S. Hawk anti-
aircraft missiles helped tighten
northern frontier defenses yester-
day. American dependents slowly
moved out. The Vietnamese war
otherwise reverted to familiar
bloody channels.
The Hawks, fitted to spot aerial
intruders, were set up by Marines
at the Da Nang Air Base as a pre-
caution against possible Commu-
nist retaliation for the retaliatory
U.S.-South Vietnamese raids Sun-
day and Monday on North Viet
Nam.
U.S. Air Force F-205 fighter-
bombers struck again at Commu-
nist supply lines in neighboring
Laos, maintaining a campaign
launched more than a month ago
to stem the flow of recruits and
munitions for the Viet Cong.
Heavy fighting with undeter-
mined results was reported near
Pleiku, 230 miles north of Saigon,
where a Viet Cong attack on U.S.
Installations early Sunday prompt-
ed President Lyndon B. John-
son's administration to order the
air strikes at North Vietnamese
targets.

unseat it over a decision to step up British orders of U.S. planes. The
five-vote margin was Labor's smallest since it took control of parlia-

UNITED NATIONS--East-West disagreement over the makeup of
a committee to examine all aspects of the U.N. peace-keeping crisis
threatened yesterday to upset plans for the General Assembly to
recess Friday.
The Soviet Union has proposed an 18-nation committee while the
United States and Britain favor retention of the present 21-nation
working group, which has been studying the issue under the chair-
manship of chief S. O. Adebo of Nigeria.

HOUSTON-Optimism was expressed yesterday by- Thomas W.
Gleason, president of the International Longshoremen's Association,
that the West Gulf Longshoremen's strike could be settled by Thurs-
day. Gleason met with his 24 vice presidents in a regular quarterly
executive session.

WASHINGTON-Walter Reuther said yesterday that the United
Auto Workers has made a proposal to the International Union of
Electrical Workers that "would be in the direction of a consolidation."
Reuther, president of the UAW, declined to go into any details, say-
ing the proposal still had to be acted on by the general board- of the
Electrical Workers Union. Both are AFL-CIO affiliates. A merger
of the two unions would create an organization with about 1.6 million
members. Only the Teamsters union claims more members.
"Where a nation has made one
race superior or sovereign, it has
violated the laws of democracy
and the Bible," Sheldon said. "The
civilized world cannot stand for
racial discrimination," he de-
clared.
"The axiom of modern society
is equality of people," he said. "We
are trying to move in that direc-
tion; South Africa is moving in
the opposite direction.
Nationalism, Not Race
In reply, Derik Rezelman of the
South African Information Serv-
ice said that "the problem is not
one of race: it is one of nations
and nationalism." He pointed out
that nationalism is a powerful
force in Africa but that it is often
"artificially created.
"The Pan-African concept is
good if differences can be recon-
ciled," he said. "Until that time,
we must consider the realities.
Idealism is good, but the political
realities of a situation must be
stared directly in the face," he
stressed.
Renzelman maintained that the
crux of the problem was not how
to continue to dominate but "how
to find an accommodation of how
to stop dominating without being
dominated yourself. We cannot
destroy ourselves as a political
,entity," lie said.
Bantu Education Act
Opposing Renzelman's view was
Mrs. Marguerite Cartwright of the
Pittsburgh Courier, who directed
her attack against the Bantu Edu-
cation Act recently passed by the
South African government.
"I fail to understand the prin-;
ciple under which the act was
passed," she said. "Education
which limits is a mental malprac-
tice and is extremely frightening."
She pointed out that the Bantu.
Education Act has been misunder-
stood and misreported by the
American press-"both the best
and the worst of newspapers."
Mrs. Cartwright objected to
forced removal and segregation on
the grounds that "there are great
values in the African society that
one person can gain from another.'
A hunman being needs an open so-
ciety in order to make contribu-
tions," she continued.
"Prospects for integration de-
pend on the policies of the South
African government and on the
policies of the rest of the world,"
she concluded.
Students Speak1
Following the discussion of the
racial issue, an account of the
Congo situation was presented by
two Congolese students currently
studying in the United States.
The students referred to Congo
Premier Moise Tshombe as a
"great actor who could gain a
majority only because of his per-
Isonality." They said the Congolese
rebels say Tshombe's government
iillegal because it was formed by
a presidential order without being
presented before the parliament.
Rebel leader Christophe Gben-
ye's government "is not legal
either," they said, "but it is less
illegal than Tshombe's." The stu-
dents added that they could "give
no support for this argument."
In regard to foreign policy, the
students said that "a country is
independent if its soil is independ-
ent. But the African soil is govern-
ed by imperialists: Belgium, Eng-
land and the United States.
Unpopular
"Tshombe deals with those peo-
ple who try to weaken Africa,"
they continued. "He seeks and re-
ceives personal help from the U.S.,
making him more unpopular with
the freedom government. He uses
mercenaries from South Africa,"
they added.
"It is time that Tshombe started
to negotiate with other countries,"
they stressed. "He is one of the
men who weakens Africa, and
sometimes we are ashamed of
him," they concluded.

-The expulsion of all mercen-
