Phan Huy Quat Emerges as Leader;
Soldiers Break Up Demonstrations
SAIGON ()-Troops broke up antigovernment demonstrations at
two northern towns yesterday while Saigon awaited the proclamation
of a new regime expected to be headed by Phan Huy Quat.
The Viet Cong may have inspired both outbursts.
About 2000 persons stormed the district chief's office at 'hang
Binh, 20 miles south of the United States-Vietnamese air base at Da
Nang, demanding an end to air and artillery warfare within populated
b areas.
Troops fired when the demonstrators pressed in, disregarding the
district chief's attempt to explain the government's position. Some
-persons were reported killed, oth-

CRITICIZES BLISS:
Attacks GOP on Race Issue
By CAL SKINNER, JR., 1
special To The Daily
OBERLIN, Ohio - Republican
Party chairman-elect Ray Bliss1
was verbally attacked in his home1
state last weekend.
Speaking at the Oberlin College
Lincoln Day Dinner, Grant Rey-;
nolds of the National Negro Re-
publican Assembly questioned
"whether 'Dr. Bliss' has the pro-
per medicine to cure this sick
party. It is an exercise in futility
to try to reorganize this party,
without the Negro."
Referring to "racial exclusive-
ness" during the Goldwater cam-
paign, Reynolds observed, "I find
nothing within our party machin-
ery to correct this party's mis-
takes, but I don't propose to allow
anybody to drive me away from
my political home."
Demands Removal
Reynolds called for removal of
the "architects of disaster" from
positions of power in the Republi-
can Party. Specifically, he urged
Bliss' dismissal of national com-
mittee executive director A. B.
Hermann of New Jersey.
'His name is anathema in the
Negro community," according to
Reynolds. Hermann and the head
of the GOP's minorities division
Clay Claiborne were responsible
for the preparation and dissemi-
nation of campaign literature to
the Negro community which used
Martin Luther King's name with-
out permission. Claiborne is now
. under indictment in New Jersey,
but still on the Republican Party
payroll.
e Reynolds also denounced the
emerging Dixie Republicans. He
advised the party to offer a "stan-
d ard around which Southern Ne-
that is done, the Negro can take
care of himself."
Admitting "I have no doubt that
tomorrow I will be denounced by
my party's leaders," Reynolds at-
tacked 1960 presidential candidate
Richard Nixon for not being "able
to summon a modicum of human-
ity during his campaign." Besides
not sending a telegram to Mrs.
Martin Luther King when King
was jailed, Nixon ignored every
center of Negro population in the
country, according to Reynolds.
"Nixon pulled defeat right cut of
the jaws of victory."
Reynolds took it for granted
that Goldwater had ignored the
Negroes and commented only that
he is corresponding with Gold-
water in an effort to convince ham
the Negro community is important
to the Republican Party.
Negro Vote
"We can concede sixty per cent
of the Negro vote and win any-
where, Reynolds asserted. He cit-
ed election results in KansasrCity,
Missouri, and Hyde Point, North
Carolina, as evidence; that Re-
publicans can attract Negroes.
Commenting on GOP presiden-
tial prospects for 1968, Reynolds
predicted that one of the "big
t h r e e, Scranton, Romney or
Rockefeller." would receive the
nomination. But, he conceded,
"Every well-known Republican
has a handicap.

lfini Coaches
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (A) - Negro
athletes are being advised by a
University of Illinois chapter of
the NAACP not to enroll at the
Big Ten school.
In a resolution, the chapter yes-
terday charged certain coaches
had warned Illini Negro athletes
"to limit their coeducational so-
cial contacts to fellow Negroes."
The coaches were not identified.
University President David D.
Henry and a university athletic
spokesman, both declined to com-
ment on the resolution.
AN INSIDE JOB? ON-THE-SCENE SKETCH by cartoonist Bill Mauldin depicts a United States
helicopter exploding from the inside during last week's raids on U.S. facilities in South Viet Nam.
The blast from inside, Mauldin said, "suggests hand-placed charges as well as mortars at this end of
the landing strip."
Shifts Strategy Against Viet Cong
G-- AI Er
SAIGON ,')--The United States I beat the Communist forces in VietI

not currently beat the Viet Cong
on the ground without commit-
ting hundreds of thousands of
troops. As a result it has in ef-

Europeans Call
For Negotiated
Peace in Asia
PARIS (A')-There is a steadily
growing conviction in Western
Europe that the explosive Viet
Nam crisis must be moved from
the battlefield to the conference
table.
This attitude, reflected officially
and in the press, arises from
genuine fear that holocaust may
be just around the corner.
Heightened Viet Cong activity
and reprisal bombings brought the
Viet Nam situation to a new crisis
which has convinced most Euro-
peans the time has come to stop
fighting and start talking.
While there has been no gen-
eral criticism of recent United
States air action in North Viet
Nam-barring left wing and Com-
munist groups-war-wise Euro-
peans are frightened.
Their fears of general conflict
have put many on the side of
President Charles de Gaulle of
France. He has said all along that
the only solution to the Viet Nam
situation was negotiation, leading
toward neutrality.
De Gaulle would like to see Viet
Nam's neutrality guaranteed on
the one hand by Red China, and
the other by America's Seventh
Fleet.
Britain, while in support of the
reprisal attacks on North Viet
Nam and American policy in gen-
eral, is frankly worried that there
is danger of escalation. To that
end, some British officials also
would like to see a brand new
Geneva conference on the ques-
tion.
Nam with another type of war.
This policy decision was many
months in coming. It exploded in-
to reality a week ago when Viet
Cong raiders successfully attacked
two major American installations
at Pleiku on the same day. Re-
taliatory air raids against North
Viet Nam began.
There seems little hope of ever'
protecting American installations
here against the guerrillas, no
matter what is done on the
ground. The Viet Cong now ap-
pears to have opened a fullfledg-
ed campaign against bases.
Retaliation
The Vietnamese and American
retaliatory air raids last week on
North Viet Nam are not expected
to have a direct effect on the
guerrillas. U.S. officials do not be-
lieve the raids will seriously ham-
per Viet Cong infiltration routes.
These air raids are based on
two assumptions.
The first is that they will hurt
Dr scare Hanoi and its Commu-
nist allies enough that they will
send cease-fire orders to the Viet
Cong in the South.
The second is that, if such or-
ders should be transmitted by
Neither of these assumptions is
a certainty, and air raids are a
longshot gamble. But it is a gam-
ble worth taking right now, U.S
officials feel, if all is not to be
lost. Air raids so far have been
confined to military installations
It is difficult to tell how much
damage the North Vietnamese
forces suffered in last week's raids
Photograhps taken by partici-
pating planes show one-story bar-
racks, some of them damaged
surrounded by foxhole positions.
Despite charges by Communist
China and Hanoi that 10,000 wer
killed in the Dong Hoi raid alone
North Vietnamese casualties prob-
ably have-been fairly light.
The point is that similar re-
prisal raids may be mounted
against populous North Vietna
mese cities and plants, including
Hanoi itself. U.S. and Vietnamese
leaders have refused to rule ou
this possibility.
