THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Viet officials to be tried for smuggling Live in a Language House Next Year! SAIGON (Reuter) - South Vietnam yesterday broke a pro- longed silence over a smuggling case involving senior army, po- lice and government officials with a statement saying at least 51 officers and civilians would be tried on charges of sabotaging the national economy. T Assistant Defense Minister Ton That Chuoc told a news confer- ence that President Nguyen Van Thieu had dismissed or demoted 40 army and police officers in- volved. The charge carries a maximum penalty of death. IN THE FIRST official state- ment since a local press report- ed the case in February, Chuoc said a convoy of six military trucks escorted by a military po- lice jeep went through check points in the Mekong Delta one night in January before being stopped at a road block near Ben Luc. Waiting at the road block was a battalion of government mili- tiamen who had been warned that the trucks might be carry- ing disguised Viet Cong. A search turned up 238 cases of contraband cigarettes and 382 cases of cognac, packed in Singa- pore and worth about 45 million piastres, or $75,000. CHUOC DENIED local press reports that a number of army generals or their wives were in- volved. But he said the ring- leaders, five men and one wom- an, were still at large. Those named by Chuoc yester- day were 40 officers, including two lieutenant-colonels and six majors, who would be tried with- in a month by a military court. Also named were 11 civilians.

The State Department, in a statement, emphasized the U.S. view that the Korean problem must be resolved directly between North and South Korea. U.S. officials said they believed North Korea wanted to exclude South Korea from the negotiations and indicated this was unacceptable to the United States. THE NORTH KOREAN news agency reported that the request was made in a letter to the U.S. Congress by the fifth Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang after a proposal by Foreign Minister Ho Dam. The letter said the military armistice signed July 27, 1953, has become outdated and "cannot guarantee a durable peace." Meanwhile, the South Korean government responded to the North' Korean proposal by claiming that it was designed to weaken the South Korean defense posture for an eventual Communist takeover.
