' UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., FRIDAY MORNING; OCTOBER 21, 1966 The only hostile displays came from critics of the Vietnam policy of Johnson and of Holt, whose government faces ,a Nov. 26 general election. The opposition Labor party opposes Australia’s use of 4,500. troops, to fight the Communists in South Vietnam. . The demonstrators were relatively few. They milled about in front of John son’s downtown hotel in anticipation of his arrival. While they shouted “Go home Yank!” to American newsmen, they appeared to be more in high spirits than angry. They bore placards saying “End the war in Viet nam,” “No more Aussies for Vietnam,” “None of the way with LBJ,” and “We’re not cattle and this is hot your ranch.” Some of the demonstrators carried frivolous placards, such as “Eat at Joe’s, “I like beer,” and “God save Ireland.” One said “Johnson no, Kennedy yes.” Most of the demonstrators were students from Australian. National University. The students never got a look at John son. The President stopped off at Holt’s mansion for an unscheduled dinner. Later he slipped into the hotel- through a back entrance. Guards kept tight security. In Wellington earlier in the day, John son joined Holyoake in pledging to defend against what he termed Red aggression against South Vietnam. Johnson departed from his prepared text to hit back at the critics. University as a democratic institution.

As of now, however, both hope and apprehension mark the diplomats, soldiers and technical experts who will back up the conference chiefs. “There are seven versions of the final communique right now,” said one advance planner. 1 The version of South Korea’s Presi dent Chung Hee Park is the one likely to attract the so-called hawks. That prepared by President Johnson and Rusk may be the focal point for those who, if not doves, are at least less hawklike. The- South Koreans have little hope for any kind of meaningful peace talks with the Red regimes of Hanoi or Peking. And if such negotiations take place, the Koreans —who are contributing 40,000 civil rights.
