Shelepin has di- rected the Soviet Secret Police for many years, has close ties with the Army and has received important foreign assignments recently. Soviet influence over foreign Communist parties has suffered a great decline in recent months due to the ouster of Khrushchev, a popular figure, and Communist China's increasing strength and influence. Many important Sovie! political figures and party leaders have become highly worried over the situation and fear of Commu- nist China has grown according ly. Some Soviet officials feel a stronger Soviet foreign policy might alleviate the recent loss in prestige and influence. They postulate that a strong Soviet response to U.S. actions in' Viet Nam would help counteract' the commanding influence held by Communist China over Southeast Asia. A newly reassertive Soviet foreign policy might also return to the fold foreign Communist par- ties which have recently been wav- ering in support for Communist China or Russia. Foreign Policy Risks Of course, the Soviet Union, as an industrialized, increasingly prosperous nation, also faces risks in a more aggressive foreign poli- cy.

'Volunteers' Pose Threat VIET NAM (P)-A real threat exists that thousands of "volun- teers" will enter the war in South Viet Nam on the Communist side t -not Chinese or Russians, but men from Communist North Viet Nam. Both the Chinese and the Rus- sians have mentioned the possi- bility of sending their own men to Viet Nam. But the Soviet hint was vague, and the Chinese have shown no sign of hurry about getting so deeply involved. This talk of "volunteers" seemed in- tended by both primarily to im- press other.

A recent statement from Peking. under the auspices of "National Front for Liberation of South Viet Nam" (NFLSV) representa- tives stationed there, said Hanoi would have every right to send such mensouthward. In addition the Viet Cong have called for international help in stopping the use of gas in South Vietnamese war, Hanoi radio re- ported yesterday. World New By The Associated Press PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil -- A dynamite bomb was found near the bedroom window of the home of United States Consul Thomas Duffeld yesterday. The fuse had burned to a few inches of the charge and apparently was acci- dentally extinguished, police said. They expressed concern that ter- rorists were operating in this southern Brazil city. * * * SAIGON - United States and Vietnamese warplanes launched massive scorched earth raids against the Viet Cong and attack- ed a half dozen targets in North Viet Nam yesterday. The war's tempo speeded up in the wake of the terrorist bombing of the U.S. embassy in Saigon though no direct connection was evidenced between that atrocity and the expanded military opera- tions.
